I’ve been having another wardrobe declutter and refresh this weekend, and figuring out what I’m keeping, tossing, selling and giving away! I used the Chart below as a guide to help me. I found it while searching through the webs, and it’s been really helpful, so I thought to share it with you! Chart 1 It’s been therapeutic, and It’s also allowed me to create space for new things. Are you due for a Wardrobe Clear out? Can you let me know how the Chart works for you if you try it out? I’m going to be spending the rest of this… Read More »

I love this quote by Coco Chanel. So often society tries to dictate to us it’s standards of beauty, but let’s not forget the beauty of being ourselves. ❤️

ZARA Kimono | TOPSHOP Jeans | H&M Tee* | RIVER ISLAND Heels | ZARA Satchel These photos were taken in London last year around this time! I was so happy to be out and about with the fam that day, it was Mother’s Day, I remember! In usual Shirley fashion, I had to get a picture of me in my outfit I enjoyed styling that day! As you can see, my love for the kimono goes way back! Here I’ve paired this green one with faded ripped blue jeans, a tee and tan accessories. xoxo (‘*’ Similar item linked due… Read More »

There’s just something about coral nails that screams summer and holidays and vacations! I’ve been allowing my nails to rest for a few weeks, and I’d been digging the natural look. But today I felt like freshly lacquering them up, and decided on this coral by Essie called “Tart Deco”. They always have cute and witty names for the colours. Do you use Essie? What are some of your favourite nail polishes? xoxo

MY MAKEUP HOT LIST FEATURED

I’ve tried and tested many makeup routines for very hot/summery weather, and one I always seem to come back to and love, is this one! It’s perfect for those very hot days, I’m talking highs of 30°C’s (80°F’s), if you needed to cover up blemishes, but still want your skin to breathe! I’ve even used it on days I’ve gone to the beach/pool side and it’s worked well. Below are the products I use, and I’ve dubbed… My Makeup HOT List: 1. SPF MOISTURISER/PRIMER: Bobbi Brown Protective Face Base SPF 50 This protects and primes my face! 2. BROW PENCIL:… Read More »
