ZARA Coat | ASOS Jumper | MANGO Muffs | TOPSHOP Jeans | TOPSHOP Boots | H&M Bag We had some lovely spring weather in London just last week, so you can imagine we made the most of it, and now that the weather has cooled, we can enjoy it too! The cool, fresh, crisp breeze.. hmmmm! I brought out my layers today, I have on 4 underneath my coat! I also accessorised my jumper with these cute little wrist muffs I found in Mango last Autumn. I felt warm and comfy and stylish at the same time! 🙂 What did… Read More »

Best thing to happen to my makeup bag

Simply put it’s the… RAE MORRIS INVISBLE MATTIFIER This invisible mattifier powder transforms my everyday makeup! I use it as a primer AND finishing powder. It not only extends the wear of my makeup, it controls shine throughout, and the science behind the formula is pretty cool: “The soft-focus, mattifying effect of this luxurious powder is due to silicone resin microspheres, which deflect light in different directions to create a smooth, even surface and blur imperfections.” – Cult Beauty I’ve been using it religiously and I’m so pleased with it that I had to share it with you!

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”3241081″] It’s been a couple of years since I purchased my first pair of Loubs! It’s also been a while since I thought me owning a £500 pair of shoes was really needed… Until now. Lol! I just came across these, and OMG I’m in love! 😍 They are a minimal leather black heeled sandal, sleek in every sense, with the added glamour of the PVC-trimmed straps and signature red sole. The Jonatina. As you can imagine, I am… TEMPTED! Are you? 😉 And if you could have any colour, which one would you go for? Black, Nude, Coral,… Read More »

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 »
