when life gives you lemons, make lemonade

Hello guys! Recently I've been trying my hardest to get this blog off the grounds a little bit. Sometimes you can definitely feel as though you're talking to yourself.. What with my course at Uni being Multimedia Broadcast Journalism I'm getting a lot more practice at this whole blogging thing and I've really started to love it, but of course, it would be amazing if it could get noticed a little more and this is a positive start and great experience for my course! Recently, as I was shopping on Pretty Little Thing's website, I noticed that they have a 'VIP blogger experience' and couldn't wait to hear what it was all about and decided to join in. The 'Kirsty black long blazer' is absolutely perfect and even though it's plain and simple, it's a statement for any wardrobe. This is something that could be teamed with pretty much anything and still work, exactly why I chose this for my look. It has a real LFW vibe and is so quick and easy t...

Hey! I've been doing a few reviews lately and I really enjoy them so don't hesitate to send me stuff (if you wish) for me to review on my blog for other people to see, therefore allowing a wider range of people to view your products. If you would like to do this then feel free to ask for my address and I'll be happy to share it with you. This week I'm going to be talking about 'Aloe lips' which is a moisturizing lip balm that was sent to me by the lovely Laura from 'Forever Living'. It's taken me a while to get round to writing this review as I wanted to make sure I used the product solid for a few days to really get a feel of how it works. After the few days of continuous use, I decided to carry on using the product as it felt so good on my lips. The lip balm also works as a lip gloss but doesn't make it feel sticky or greasy to the skin, which I love and find quite rare in a lip balm that also has this glossy effect. My lips have been a little ...

Recently I purchased this little beauty of a watch. I have quite a bad habbit (addiction..) when it comes to buying useless things through eBay or Amazon that I probably don't actually need or particularly even want that much. However, I have seen this watch going around Tumblr for a while now and always admired it from afar.. with my last watch sadly passing away (it only cost me £1.66 from eBay, I think I made a post about this aaages ago actually so it served me well but anyway) I thought, what a better time than to invest in this watch! I looked it up and found it on Instagram (you can follow me @hiyachlo if you wish) but it was from an independent store so pretty pricey. Then I found it on Amazon, if you search for "world map globe fashion watch" the first thing that comes up should be the exact watch I bought for just £3.39! I couldn't believe it!! It comes in a brown or white strap, I got the brown strap myself mainly because I thought it looked better with the...

H&M are getting it so right recently, aren't they?! it's ridiculous. And it's hurting my bank balance. After vowing not to spend anymore money (student life and all that), upon going to London to visit some best friends for the weekend I happened to 'stumble'* across the likes of Brick Lane, Camden... I think you know where this is going. One thing lead to another and next thing I know I'm exactly £29.99 down yet I'm the owner of these beautiful pair of boots which I quite simply could not have just walked away from. Now, these are super comfy, so far they haven't hurt me one little bit. These look so good teamed with anything. I loved the patent black look and the buckles, the best thing about these boots is that you can dress them up or down. I would definitely recommend these, well worth the money (and come on, 30 squid is hardly expensive really..) and the chunky heel was practically built for comfort. Hope you love! Let me know what you think of...

Hey Guys, in my most recent lecture on Radio Journalism we had a few really interesting guest lecturers come in and talk to us about upcoming events locally in Hastings. Following on from this, we were asked to look up local bloggers and vloggers on a topic of my choice so I need your help! Is there anyone from around Hastings, London, Brighton, Eastbourne sort of area (you know what I mean) that has an interest in Fashion/Beauty specifically that would be interested in meeting up for me to do a quick interview with you, nothing too serious and just a few recordings. Would be super helpful for my course, if anyone could get on board that would be amazing. Please let me know! or email me on hiyachlo@hotmail.co.uk. Thanks guys, don't hesitate to ask around either :-) Chlo x
