Maybelline Brow Satin

Maybelline Brow Satin

Being forever challenged in the brow department thanks to some rather pathetic blonde brows, I am always on the lookout for the next big thing.

Last year Maybelline released their double ended wonder product – Brow Satin. Quick to get my grubby little mitts on it, I have been blown away. This is a cult product for me now.

The Balmoral Bar, Edinburgh

The Balmoral Bar Edinburgh

Something a little bit different for Food Friday this week as it’s alcohol not food!

I have always wanted to stay at The Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh but as we visit regularly for weekend trips by car, it has never been the best place to choose for convenience. We have never got round to having afternoon tea in the Palm Court or drinks – it’s a crying shame.

A couple of weeks ago we snapped up some bargain East Coast train tickets and took ourselves off to Edinburgh for the day with my sole purpose of having drinks in The Balmoral Bar. I was a lady on a mission and as long as there was alcohol involved, it was easy to convince Paul.

2015 Top Trend – Bold Trousers

Last year I went mad for floral and patterned jersey trousers and I am glad to see that there is no sign of the trend going away.

In 2015, the bold power trouser is going to be another key look and as always New Look Inspire have their finger on the pulse. From geometric checks to dainty floral, the power pants are here to stay!

New Look Inspire Bold Trouser Trend

1. Black Check Joggers   |   £22.99

2. Slim Leg Tile Print   |   £22.99

3. Printed Wide Leg   |   £19.99

4. Aztec Slim Legs   |  £17.99

5. Black Scratch Print   |   £19.99

6. Black Floral Print   |   £19.99

You can wear these trousers for the office, shopping or a night on the tiles just by switching your accessories and shoes around. Versatility with such a bold item means you can get the most use out your new season trousers.

I have been wearing the Black Check Joggers*  for work as they tick all the boxes for business smart casual but can be dresses up or down! You have to love things in your wardrobe like that

Bonmarche – Ann Harvey Coat

Bon Marche Ann Harvey Coat 2

When the kind folk over at Bonmarche got in touch and asked if I could like to treat my Mam to a piece of clothing from their Autumn / Winter line I jumped at the chance.

My Mam is a loyal customer of Bonmarche’s for work wear basics and staples at an affordable price. You may remember she reviewed a coat back in 2013 HERE

Drawn to red coats, she picked the vibrant Ann Harvey contrast lined coat (£40)*
