March Favourites.

March has been quite an exciting month, surprisingly. I’ve realised who my true friends are, what my true fashion style is, what cocktails are good and that Halloumi is much better in fry form. 

With these realisations all happening at once, let me break some of them down into more detail.

Tonight Josephine, Waterloo 

My best friend and I are always on the lookout for quirky places in London to get a drink or two, and so when my friend found out about Tonight Josephine, we knew we had to give it a try. A combination of tasty cocktails, girl power and sassy decor, this small bar in Waterloo really is the epitome of feminism. Also, it’s incredibly Instagrammable. I’d recommend any female girl gang with a strong persona check it out!

Halloumi Fries, £3.70 at Nandos

The newest addition to the Nandos menu is a take on the cheese favourite halloumi, but they have created a starter dish that is even better than regular halloumi. You can now get halloumi fries, which is six chunky sticks of halloumi teamed with a pot of sweet chilli jam which is equally delicious. If you love cheese and love Nandos, I suggest you start ordering this as your starter from now on!

Red stripe Trousers, £15.99 at New Look

As I was in need of a smarter wardrobe for my new job, I thought I would test the ‘sporty chic’ trend and buy myself some striped trousers from my faves New Look. For less than £20, these trousers are incredibly flattering and are already turned up at the bottom which for a short girl like me is a bonus. They also have an elasticated waist band so if you love your food like me, there’s definitely room for a food baby. I’ve received so many compliments on these already so I’m glad I took the risk and purchased them!

New job

I’ve started a new job this month, which I opened up about in a recent post. In case you missed it, I’ve got my first graduate job as a journalist, working in central London! Everyone is really nice there and it’s the first step on the career ladder - it’s made March a lot more exciting!

New hair 

I also decided it was time to cut my hair off and embrace the bob. I hadn’t had a hair change since before my last break up, so it was a ‘new me’ that was long overdue. I love having short hair and don’t think I’ll let it get as long as it was for a long time!

February Favourites.

I have been away for a whole month, and I have a lot of explaining to do in an upcoming post, but for now I can share with you my favourites of the month of February! 

Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation, £9.99 from Superdrug

Recently I ran out of my trusted Rimmel foundation and thought I should give a new foundation a try. With tons of amazing reviews under its belt, I thought I’d try the new Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation and honestly it is amazing!

I will publish a review soon but I have had a break, which I shall explain why in my next post.

It has full coverage, looks great on the skin and really does last a long time. 

Black Panther, in cinemas now

I’ve already seen this film twice as I love it so much! I am a huge Marvel fan and on its 10th year of making movies, Black Panther is definitely one of the best to come from the MCU. 

With an amazing cast including Chadwick Bozeman, Lupita N’Yongo, Andy Serkis and Martin Freeman, The Black Panther reveals all the secrets of the Wakanda empire all MCU fans have been dying to know. 

With amped up comedy, action and very handsome men, even if you’re not a Marvel fan you will love it.

Heartbreak Hotel T Shirt, £25 from Topshop

As a lover of slogan tees, (especially ironic ones given my situation last year) and I had my eye on this one for a while and debated getting it because of its price point. 

However I caved and I’m so glad I did. I’ve always loved Elvis Presley and am really loving the trend of pink and red together in fashion. 

Fun fact: it’s actually the first thing I’ve ever bought from Topshop and after falling in love with it, I may have to shop there more often!

2018 Diary, £19.20 from Kikki.K

Another brand discovery which very much pleased the stationery lover in me was Kikki.K . I needed a diary for the year which also had planner elements and also looked aesthetically pleasing, and I found the perfect one! 

It may have been a little pricey, but it’s such amazing quality and you can become a member of Kikki.K’s for free, which gifts you with stationery every month. What could be better than that?!
