I’ve spent a large proportion of the last few months living in my pyjamas. As someone who’s always taken a great deal of pride in their appearance, finding myself suddenly without the energy to take a shower, wash my hair or apply even the most minimal makeup has been hard to swallow.
For now at least, my health seems to be on an upward turn. Days where I’m able to get it together, get dressed and make an effort are gradually becoming more and more frequent and today I want to tell you about the pretty things I’ve been reaching for.
- Rare Pear Bella Gris Boutique Flats {c/o}
I’ve had three pairs of shoes in strict rotation recently: my black Prior Ballerinas from Hobbs, a pair of white Converse Dainty that I ordered from Next and these gorgeous soft grey pumps from British brand, Rare Pear. Super comfy from the word go and incredibly well made using beautiful Italian suede leather, I love the way the ribbon bow detail dresses up my current favourite outfit: FCUK Rebound skinny jeans paired with a Breton top from Me+Em.
Hot baths have been my saviour while I deal with ongoing post-viral symptoms and this bath soak is by far the best thing I’ve found for those niggling aches and pains. The bubbles are soporific and abundant, it smells amazing and my skin is left feeling soft and smooth.
Light and fresh enough for summer, but with just the right amount of warmth and sensuality, I’ve long been hooked on this scent and its unique combination of almond, bergamot, orange blossom and vanilla. It makes me feel polished and pretty, even on days when I’m anything but.
I always enjoy rifling through my sister’s makeup bag and borrowing the odd thing now and then, but I really didn’t intend to steal this lippy last time we met! Having said that, I’m glad it accidentally made its way home with me as I’ve worn little else since it came into my possession. It’s a perfect dirty blue pink with a lovely matte finish that seems to go with everything. I promise I’ll replace it for you soon sis!
What are your current obsessions?

So glad to hear you’re starting to bounce back!! Hope you’ll have officially made a full recovery shortly! I’ve been curious about Ellie Saab’s scents (never worn one personally, but i love them in general). Your review was great -I’ll look for that for sure on my next trip to Ulta!
I’m definitely getting there, I just have to be careful not to overdo it as it can really knock me back a bit. So glad my review was helpful, I hope you love it when you get a chance to try it. xxx
