2023 Round Up…

According to moi….

THE MOVIE

The movie was, and could only ever be Barbie. Whether it was little girls excited to see what the real Barbie was like, or grown women us having very confusing feelings about Ryan Gosling as Ken this movie captured the world in it’s tiny plastic palm.

THE MAKE UP

E.L.F.

Introduced to this by my teenage daughter, ELF was a revelation to me! This affordable brand is no nonsene.. they don't test finished products or ingredients on animals, and neither do their suppliers or any third-parties. I highly reccomend the Dirty Pillows set…

THE HAIR

Natural Hair Journey. Inspired by one of my favourite influencers , Liza Prideaux, girls all up and down the UK are ditching the bleach and embracing a healthier hair journey, thankyou Liza, we salute you and your beautiful locks!

THE TREND

INDOOR OUTDOOR. wearing your slippers outside? yes thankyou Ugg. Pj’s in the supermarket? Thankyou loungewear sold everywhere! Leggings not just for the gym? Ok! This unlikely trend was not only convenient but when done right oozed low key sophistication, with an “I just threw this on” kind of look.

THE WILDCARD

Sienna Miller for M&S. While it’s no surprise that the queen of boho was given her own rage in September 2009, I was in complete shock and awe when M&S dropped a full neon outfit as the headliner for Miss Millers foray. Try as I might I was not able to get my hands on one, and you know what they say, we regret the things we didn’t but, and this one, this one will haunt me forever!

THE COMEBACK

Rick Astley. Thankyou Rick for ending out NYE2023 with an absolute blow-out at The Camden Roundhouse. We loved you at Glastonbury, we loved you loved you for every other TV appearance that you made. You absolute legend!

THE TOUR

Can only be one can’t it? Renaissance. I don’t need to say anything else.

THE MUSE

Jennifer Coolidge. If you have read my “Muse of the Month” section you will see why. How can you not fall head over heels for every single outfit in The White Lotus?

THE BRAND

Sol De Janeiro. Brazil in a jar! I was a little late to the party with this one. Introduced by my sister, it was an instant love affair., so much so even my 6 year old niece has some! With one selling every 6 seconds not only is it an affordable luxury but everyone in the world cottoned on to this trademark small, and we now have wax melts and kitchen cleaner in this magnificent scent. BUY THIS IMMEDIATELY.

THE UNLIKELY TREND

Uggs and socks. outside of my fancy office job you will find me in my slip on Uggs and high 80’s style Nike socks. From a person who has spent the last 5 years getting her ankles out for London (because no one wears full length trousers up here) this January weather has converted me. Not for everyone though, so I found out on my recent trip back home!

THE BEAUTY BUZZ

Facials. Chemical Peels, Microblading and calming ones. I had a good run at these and need to get back into a good habit of going again, but there really is only one person to see, and that’s Lisa at The Royal Tweakment who have you glowing from the inside out.
