So before we approach the end of the year and start to do some deep reflection, I just want to put it out there that this year has been awesome, and when I say awesome I mean awesome in all aspects of the word, awesomely bad and awesomely good lol.

  The things I've learned, gained and attainted are definitely something to be proud of.

I've made some real big declarations, not only for the new year but for each new day, I'm not much of a fan of resolutions as I believe there just a hype into the new year and come February most of them are are a thing of the past. So I'm starting from now and believing that I will stick to them for the duration of life!! (God willing).

They say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and I've never heard a word so true. From loosing my job, to going through a deep breakup, I've had my fair share of tears but by Gods grace the past two years have been nothing short of a beautiful struggle, and the journey continues. 

I may not get it right all the time or be the perfect person but my smile today comes from the pain I've been through and nothing or no-one can take that from me.

I encourage you to endure in YOUR moment, whether it be a good season or a bad. Your tears today will be the beginning of your joy tomorrow, its hard (no doubt) but after the rain comes the rainbow.

PS. I've got some goodies coming out soon :)

With Love ..

- My Love for Sliders -

If you know me you'll know I love a good slider, and if you don't know me that well..well now you know lol.

The beauty of Sliders is the simple comfort of just literally being able to slide them on with the added benefit of them matching and outfit. Perfect Combo! Especially if your constantly on the go, and in the sun (well for me i chooses to wear them all year round :)

My July favourites have to be the Adidas Originals Adilette Velvets in dark green, they look amazing and are super comfortable!

Below I've added a few of my sliders wishlist and a few snippets of whats out in the shops at the moment, some designer , some high street.

Enjoy ..

- Whats for Lunch - Aubaine in Selfridges.

As I've got a week off I decided to follow my mum and her friend to the west end, we ended up getting lunch at Aubaine, a french restaurant - bearing in mind I've never really tried french food or even though of trying it apart from the time I went to Paris (wasn't really a fan then either)

However the food at this restaurant was something different, the food had flavour and the desserts were a treat.

I would definitely recommend this place and also there carrot cake - which was amazing!

Thank you again for having us x
