Oh My, Starry Eyed Surprise

When my darling Mother went out at the crack of dawn this morning on her day off I didn't really think anything of it. She's off on holiday on Thursday, and I assumed she was running round doing the last minute bits and bobs (after all, she only booked it last Thursday!)
When she arrived home, she said to me "I got you something" and handed me a cute little Cath Kidston travel pass holder, with my new job I will no longer be able to drive in to work (boo!) and will be getting the London Underground eveyday, and will need a travel card and all that jazz. So I thought it was really cute of her.
And then she said, "I got you something else as well", and she handed me a huge Bentalls (a department store near us) bag, I peeked inside and actually squeeled!
For getting the new job she bought me this absolutely gorgeous Michael Kors tote bag in snake print.

It is the most perfect size for day to day and for commuting, and it can go over my shoulder which is another great bonus, because the majority of my bags are just held on my arm. I am so greatful and overwhelmed that she went out and surprised me like that, and I'm absolutely in love with the handbag.

Little Announcement...

A Collective Fashion Haul...

I was sitting here on this bright sunny day wondering what I could blog about, when I realised that I hadn't done a haul for a while. To be honest I was trying to steer clear of them, because I didn't want my blog to be about hauls, hauls, hauls. But as I haven't done one in a few months, I thought why not do a collective haul of some of the things I have picked up in the last month or so.
A collective haul once in a while is better than one a week, right?
So as I said, here are just some of the items I have picked up over the last month or more, I'll try and be as acurate as I can with the prices, but as I've had some of the things for quite a while, I might not remember some.
Also, please take into consideration that I have just got a brand spanking new job (YAY!), so a few of the items are for work purposes and the rest is lesuire.

"I've had the time of my life..again"

Last night in order of my very lovely Mother's birthday I went to the theatre to see Dirty Dancing...again. I do realise that it is the second time in less than six months that we have seen the show, and hope that makes you realise how good it is! :)

This was my attire for the evening;

Necklace, Warehouse

Lace shoes, Next

Ring, Past Times

Excuse the absolutely terrible, cringeworthy photograph of me, but it's the only one I got of me in the outfit, and I can't believe I'm actually posting this! Those of you that are on the ball may notice I changed my mind on the necklace at the last minute and went for my "Baby" necklace I got from the show last time and a long Accessorize number.

Witch Skincare Bloggers Event

DSC08897
On Saturday 26th February I was privallaged to attend the Witch Skincare Bloggers Event in Soho, London. The event, aswell as being a chance for us bloggers to meet and mingle with one another, was to showcase their new line in anti-blemish make up, a celebration of "skindependance".

The range has been designed to let you lead the life you want to lead without worrying about the effects it will have on your skin, as explained to us at the beginning of the event by one of the team, Helen.

Why Witch Hazel?
Taken from the Witch site;

"For more than 40 years Witch has used witch hazel, natures clever ingredient. It naturally clenses, tones and soothes, leaving your skin perfectly balanced, soft and healthy looking. That's why we use it in our products."
"Witch products are suitable for most skin types, but it's on oily or combination skin that the power of witch hazel can prove particularly effective."

"Combination skin is very common - some areas of the face are oily, some are dry. Typically there is an abundance of shine in the T-zone, which is the forehead, nose and chin. This area is more likely to have excess oil due to larger, more active oil glands. The area around the cheeks, eyes and temples tends to be normal or even dry due to fewer and smaller oil glands. People with combination skin may find their concerns over oiliness and dryness can change based on the skin care and cosmetic products they use and also with the change of season. In winter normal or dry areas may become rough or flaky, while in summer the T-zone may become oily and shiny."

The theme of the day was "naughty & nice", getting a balance between healthy virtues and guilty pleasures. A healthy lifestyle means a balanced lifestyle, so we were offered healthy and not so healthy tempting treats.

Here you can see Nicola and I arriving at the event;

We were greeted by the lovely Lauren and Holly and this;

Celebrity make-up artist Nat Von Zee was on hand at the event to give a demonstration of all the new products, tips on the range and make up in general and of course answer any questions that we had.

Here is Nat doing the demo on Helen.

We were then set fee to lose ourselves in the various different goings on, from the treatment area, where you could have your make up done, manicures, get a massage, have raki done on you. There was also a palm reader on hand (do excuse the pun), knitting lessons, cookie decoration, Wii and a Poker masterclass..which I won! Not bad for my first time.

At the end of the event we were treated to a lesson in Burlesque and of course a nice goody bag, which I will be delving into in a later post.

After all the fun and games Nicola and I skipped home with our goody bags in hand and smiles on our faces from our lovely afternoon learning all about the Witch brand and the new products.

In the new range you can find:

* Redness Relief Moisturiser
* Skin Clearing Primer
* Tinted Moisturiser
* Pressed Powder

Massive thank you to all at Witch for laying on the event and I look forward to many more to come.
