This ensemble I feel is the perfect effortless outfit for new years with understated sparkle that leaves you enough room to glam up your make up and flats that wow but don't leave you with a strain or broken ankle. If you want to achieve the perfect flapper (20's glam queen) make up I'm collaborating with NEW LUNE (newlune.wordpress.com) because her tutorials are gold and I haven't got the slightest clue what to do with a make up brush.

Merry Christmas in arrières darlings,

LAST MINUTE PLANNING

So?

How was Christmas?

Hope you all had an amazing time!

Now darlings, I hope after your Christmas dinner you went straight to your ipads, phones, notebooks or pcs because the biggest sale of the year is on, well as at now has been on for 2 days.

My biggest bets are on H&M, Accesorize, Debenhams, Boots and of course my darling Zara. 

Now we are done with the good stuff lets get to the not so fun but necessary stuff. This is the time where we begin to reminisce over the past year: the good, the bad and the ugly. Then we begin to make lists of things we want to change about ourselves a.k.a new year resolutions and I mean there is nothing wrong with having them but just the idea that we have to wait till a new year to change the not so good about ourselves. Ideally what I'm trying to say is that just as we see a new year as a new beginning  we should also see each day as a perfect time to right the wrongs in our lives. I know this conversation isn't like our usual but 2015 will be here in 4 days so it had to happen. 

Stay beautiful because you can, loads of love Jasmine x

Hi darlings,

CHILLED DAY PLAYLIST

Some days come with a bold "CHILL" written on them. These days often call for baggy clothes ( still fashionable though ) cream woolly throws, hot water bottles, loads of food and of course amazing music.  I personally believe that music can make anything a whole lot better and days like this where you have not a single care in the world and amazing playlist could become the greatest love of your life... trust me I've been there. With the knowledge that there are many me(s) out there simply lazying around  I decided to share my go to lazy day playlist. I hope you like it and it gives you an insight into the kind of music I like.

Echosmith -Cool kids

Ed sheeran -Thinking out loud

The Script -Superhero

Professor green -Lullaby

Tove lo- Stay high

Vance joy- Riptide

Ella henderson- Glow

Ed sheeran -Don't

Taylor Swift -Blank space

Don't forget to leave your music suggestions and the genres of music you like.

Stay amazing and beautiful because you can

Hi darlings,

P O S T  H I A T U S

See what I did there?

Get it?

Really? Try again.

No? Alright I will stop embarrassing myself.

 Post because I am a blogger and post because my absence has been so shambolic it has to be called a hiatus and I am absolutely sorry for this behavior and I hope you can forgive me because I am more than wiling to make it up to you and it has come to an end... phew...now that's out.

For the last month or so I have been immersed in school work and I am completely useless at time management so that didn't help in any way. So when my exams made an entrance I was completely panicked and shut every single thing in my life down to prepare for them. As you can imagined I am highly intellectually exhausted and I am taking a break and having a little bit me time.
