Mani Monday // Nail Care Essentials

The secret to every good manicure often has more to do with the way you prepare your nails, than the shade you choose to paint on. Investing in some quality base coats and nail care products has the double benefit of caring for, and protecting your nails, and giving your manicure a more long-lasting, salon quality finish. Here are my favourites, from Essie, Rimmel and The Ultimate Fix for my second edition of Mani Monday!

Anthropologie Activewear

A few weeks later than planned, this weekend I kicked off my health & fitness routine in style wearing this fabulous twin set from Anthropologie. Having a stylish set to wear to the gym gives me that extra nudge that I need to get myself into the swing of things, and as soon as I saw this set I knew it had to be mine!

This Week I've Been....

Aah this weekend feels long overdue! This week has mostly consisted of work, work and more work but I have been enjoying testing out some exciting Spring makeup launches which will be popping up on the blog over the next few days. There's been an exciting press event, and an early Valentine's treat;

 This Week I've Been...

... Dreaming of Summer at Figleaves SS15.  This week I was invited to preview the Figleaves SS15 Lingerie and Swimwear collections at the beautiful Spatisserie at The Dorchester hotel. The stunning underwear was dotted with lace details, pastel hues as well as splashes of neon. Their swimwear range consists of well thought out 'tummy tucking' designs, as well as some luxurious bikinis, strictly for poolside posing! 

... Trying to be healthy - After the over-eating of New York last week (see what I got up to here), this week I had a mini detox by enjoying lots of healthy juices. There's a Roots & Bulbs near work, so I've been slurping lots of their Greens Cold Pressed Juices.

... Getting spoilt with beautiful flowers! Debenhams Flowers kindly sent over a bouquet from their Valentines collection which naturally I had to take a selfie with! The lilac and white roses are the perfect pastel shades without being overly 'girly' or too romantic. Perfect for pals or a new love interest! Debenhams are offering Fashion Mumblr readers a huge 25% off all bouquets online, with the code DFBLOG25, and you can see the range here!

... Lusting over Spring beauty releases. Ooh so many new goodies have hit the shelves recently! My favourites include the new Clarins Instant Light Lip Balms and the Clinique Contouring Kit, both of which will be featured on the blog in the next few days. 

What have you been up to this week?

Topshop Jewellery Haul!

My second haul in one week, it appears that having a drained bank account at the end of January is having quite unusual effects on my spending willpower! OK so my Sephora Haul was a bit of a celebration so felt mostly justified, but this? I just thought they were pretty.

Topshop jewellery for me is always a little hit or miss. Sometimes I look around the huge jewellery section in the Oxford Street flagship but fail to find anything wearable, but other times, I'll want it all. This particular occasion was definitely the latter, and it was love at first site when I spotted their new FREEDOM range featuring semi precious stones.
