Hey beautiful people,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, sorry I'm SO horrendously awful at keeping up with a regular posting schedule. Trying to balance my new job, with blogging, music and seeing friends has been <i>a bit of a challenge</i> to say the least, but I think I'm finally settled and have a good system down! Anyway, today's post is a fun Outfit Of the Day featuring a gorgeous co-ord I was sent from <a href="https://www.na-kd.com/en" target="_blank">NA-KD</a> fashion, so I hope you love!<br />

I've seen loads of sassy señoritas wearing suits and co-ords on my Instagram feed (<i>and looking fabulous doing it might I add</i>) but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to pull off the look for myself, so was feeling a little apprehensive when adding this grey set to my basket. All fears were put to rest when I tried it on though, the <a href="https://www.na-kd.com/en/jackets--coats/blazers" target="_blank">blazer</a> is SO wearable on it's own - I can't wait to style it with a jumper and some mom jeans, and the <a href="https://www.na-kd.com/en/skirts" target="_blank">skirt</a> is so cute and girlie, <i>I'm totally obsessed!</i><br />

Part of me still feels like I'm wearing the Gossip Girl school uniform but I'm totally ok with that, especially the way Little J styles it up! I paired the two piece with a band tee and converse for a more casual look, but this would look <b>killer</b> with some strappy heels, a mesh top and bralette for an after work cocktail. (<i>Or 5, cause you know, who only goes for <b>one</b> cocktail?!</i>)<br />

I was really impressed with the quality of the suit considering it was so affordable, and it fitted really true to size which is fab too, as sizing can be all over the place with online brands. NA-KD very kindly sent me a discount code for you all to use, <i><b>so make sure use use Izzy15 at checkout for 15% off everything your heart desires</b></i>! And please let me know what you get, I'm such an enabler when it comes to shopping and always love seeing what purchases you guys make!</div>

Hey beach babes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you're all well and have been enjoying our<i> unusually lovely </i>summer! As most of you will already know due to all my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/izzymariehill/?hl=en" target="_blank">Insta spamming</a>, I recently got back from the most glorious trip to Croatia. My gorgeous gal Lizzie and I visited Split and Hvar for 10 long days of drinking, debauchery and a little culture for good measure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We both only brought hand luggage with us (<i>because really, who wants to fork out an extra £40 each way for a couple more pairs of shoes that you probably don't need anyway</i>) so when packing, I tried to choose pieces and outfits that took up minimum space but provided maximum results<i> </i>- <i>basically I proceeded to try on every possible outfit I was taking and sent over many a mirror selfie to Lizzie for approval. 5 hours later (I jest), I was ready. </i>The cute AF outfit I'm featuring in this post is from <a href="https://www.boohoo.com/womens" target="_blank">Boohoo</a> and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it so I hope you do too!</div>

One of the coolest things about Croatia is that you can hop from one island to another easier than one would jump in an Uber on a night out, <i>half eaten maccies in hand</i>. Whilst staying in Hvar we visited one of the Pakleni Islands called Stipanska (where we shot these photos) via one of the many cheap taxi boats that run throughout the day. We'd already been to the island a couple of evenings prior to this, because as soon as night falls, the cute backdrop behind me becomes part of a huge open air club called Carpe Diem - <i>which is an absolute must if you're visiting Hvar.</i></div>

We headed over to the island bright and early for some sunbathing and snorkelling in the crystal clear waters<i> </i>and rented a couple of sun loungers at <a href="http://www.carpe-diem-beach-hvar.com/" target="_blank">Carpe Diem Beach Club</a>. (<i>FYI the sun loungers cost the same to rent for an hour or for the whole day, so the earlier you get there the more you get for your money! If there's more than a couple of you I'd suggest booking too, cause we got the last two free sunbeds at 10.30am!</i>)</div>

After splashing around for hours on end like the mermaids we are, Lizzie and I headed back to the main section of the island to do our lil photoshoot. As well as forgetting to pack face powder or ANY make-up apart from lipstick, I also forgot to bring underwear (<i>smooth, I know</i>), so when Lizzie suggested I sit on one of the bar stools for one of the photos, I decided against it, so as to avoid <b>that</b> Sharon Stone moment in Basic Instinct. </div>

I re-wore this outfit on a night out in Split cause I loved it so much, and it got so many compliments! The tie section of the <a href="https://www.boohoo.com/-woven-ruffle-spot-tie-front-crop/DZZ28358.html?color=157" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Red Ruffle Crop</a> is a separate piece of fabric so you can tie it as tight as you want making it super flattering no matter what your boob size! (<i>Yay for all the boobs!</i>) The skirt comes in a <a href="https://www.boohoo.com/contrast-stitch-denim-skirt/DZZ21664.html?color=105" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">slightly longer option</a> without the split hem too, and I'd fully recommend you getting either if you're in the market for a new black denim skirt! I love the contrast stitch detail, plus the fabric is such a comfy denim blend, which also doesn't seem to ride up. <i>And that's a win in my book.</i></div>

Isn't it funny how a little bit of imagination can turn your brother's grubby uni garden (<i>if you can call it a <b>garden</b></i>) into an edgy shoot location? Ok so as well as imagination you also need a few minutes to remove the empty beer cans from shot, but ah well...</div>

I recently ordered these gorgeous <a href="https://www.feelgoodcontacts.com/sunglasses/polaroid-pld-1029s-matte-black-bronze" target="_blank">Matte Black Bronze Polarised</a> sunglasses from <a href="https://www.feelgoodcontacts.com/" target="_blank">Feel Good Contacts.</a> I love Polaroid sunnies because the frames are always really flattering shapes, but also they're anti-glare lenses, which is SO much better for your eyes than regular ones! I also love how the slight sepia tint on the lenses ties in with the bronze arms. <i>So Fetch.</i> My brother and I took these photos a few weeks ago and it got me thinking about how much more confident I feel in front of the camera when I have a pair of sunnies on, so I decided to put together a little post featuring a few of my tips on how to ace that photoshoot and just own it!</div>

<u><b>1. Practise Makes Perfect</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just because a blogger you know looks great doing a certain pose, doesn't mean it'll necessarily work for you. By all means take inspiration; scroll through Instagram, flick through magazines or watch a YouTube video or two on posing ideas. I'd then suggest standing in front of a full length mirror (<i>preferably one where nobody else can see you</i>) and practising a few of the different moves and poses. You're bound to feel a bit silly or awkward doing it at first, but this way you can see which ones you think work best for you and your body!<br />

<u><b>2. Find Your Angles </b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once you've picked some killer poses, kidnap a family member or a close friend (<i>or if in doubt, your ever faithful, non judgemental tripod and wifi-ready camera</i>) and see how your poses translate in pictures. It's good to try this in an outfit you want to shoot in, so you can see how the clothes move too! When I'm shooting with someone new that maybe doesn't know my angles and I want to get the perfect shot I'll pick one pose, and vary it ever so slightly between each take. For example for the shot above, I might lift my chin an inch in the next take, then arch my shoulder more, then turn my body a little more toward the camera, and then look directly into the lens. If you try to get 5-6 <i>slight</i> variations of the same pose, you're guaranteed to find an angle that you like, and <i>most importantly</i> a KILLER pic!</div>

<b><u>3. Grab Your Sunnies!</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're not quite ready to smize directly for the camera (<i>gotta thank Queen Tyra for that tip</i>) then a pair of sunglasses are honestly your best friend when it comes to photoshoots. Staring directly into the camera can be daunting if you've not done it before and I always feel a million times sassier when I have a cool pair of sunnies on, and it 100% translates in my poses and pictures! I personally find the start of a shoot can be a little awkward (<i>especially if it's in public</i>) and it's easy to look stiff, so throwing on some sunglasses is a good way to zone out from other people, allow yourself to relax, and move around like nobody's watching!</div>

<u><b>4. Gimme A Hand!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're worried about the dreaded "T-Rex hands" (<i>been there done that MANY a time</i>) then try and find yourself something to hold on to. Sometimes a simple hair touch, or holding the hem of your skirt or jean pocket can work. If you're bringing your hands to your face, just take a really dainty approach (<i>whilst shooting with Lizzie in Croatia, we decided to call this "fairy hands"!). </i>By that I mean, keep your wrist joint soft and loose, and just gently use a finger or two to rest against your chin or cheek - <i>or wherever the hell you fancy touching your face!</i> - instead of using your whole hand, and avoid making a fist or it can end up looking too heavy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you'd rather hold something physical, blogger faves include flowers, sunglasses, shopping bags, coffee or food! Personally I'm all about the edible props cause it means I get to eat them immediately after...</div>

<u><b>5. Lighting, lighting, lighting.</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finding a cute, nicely lit location can be a right pain in the backside. Make sure your light source is never behind you else you're just going to look like a silhouette. Shooting first thing in the morning or just before sunset can create a really gorgeous image, after all, it isn't called the golden hour for nothing! Sunglasses again are fab when shooting in bright light, as they prevent the delightful squinty eye. My Matte Black Bronze sunglasses have Polarised lenses which helps hugely in bright conditions! I'd strongly suggest checking out <a href="https://www.feelgoodcontacts.com/sunglasses" target="_blank">Feel Good Contacts</a>, as they have a killer selection of sunnies!<br />

<u><b>6. Say Cheese!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, don't forget to smile! It's so easy to forget what your face is doing when you're trying to remember your angles, strike a pose, hold a prop and <b>not</b> fall over at the same time. I always find when in doubt, a cheeky smile off into the distance is a great fail safe. I honestly believe that in life you HAVE to fake it till you make it, and that applies to photoshoots too! If you act confident (<i>even if you're actually bricking it and are ready to do a nervous poo</i>) then I <u>guarantee you'll look it too.</u><br />
<br />
So I hope this post will help anyone who's feeling nervous about getting in front of the camera (<i>which FYI there's nothing wrong with, I still do!</i>). Whether you've never done a photoshoot before, or you're a seasoned pro, if you even learnt one thing from this post then I'll be a very happy bunny! Please do let me know in the comments below if you have a tip you think everyone should know <b>or</b> if you tried one of my ideas and it worked!<br />
<br />
Now go get posing you beautiful creatures!<br />

Trying
to stay cool in these hot summer months but still look office
appropriate can be a tough combo to get right. Choose floaty
silhouettes, and light cottons or linens for the perfect summer dress
that you can wear to the office AND the pub beer garden! This <a href="http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0661372001.html" target="_blank">nude number from H&M</a>
is a really simple print and a cute midi length too. The little side
slits give it a bit more shape, and the colour could easily transition
into the colder months, with a tee or polo neck layered underneath.<br />
<br />
This <a href="https://www.warehouse.co.uk/gb/clothing/workwear/stripe-cotton-midi-dress/032614.html?cgid=workwear&dwvar_032614_color=33&position=22" target="_blank">Striped Cotton Midi from Warehouse</a> is <b>such</b> a chic option for the office. The ruched neckline is so classy, and the belt really sharpens up the whole silhouette. <i>Very Blair Waldorf.</i><br />
A
tea dress is a fab, transitional piece throughout the year, I tend to
stick to neutral colours or florals that work year round with tights and
a leather jacket in the colder months, or with a simple pair of sandals
in the summer. This <a href="https://www.zara.com/uk/en/contrasting-floral-print-dress-p07907113.html?v1=6778146&v2=1074622" target="_blank">Floral Zara dress</a> is no exception, the ruffle hem is really flattering and the A-line shape will keep you cool as a cucumber.</div>

Sliders are the perfect summer shoe (<i>providing everyone's given their tootsies some TLC!</i>) and there are some really cute and sophisticated options that are fab for the office. These <a href="http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0632429001.html" target="_blank">canary yellow beaded beauties from H&M</a> have a slight block heel on them, and they'd look gorgeous with some really sharp cut suit trousers.

Chunky flat's are my go-to in summer, cause feet can get tired and sweaty, and the thicker sole provides support and still gives them room to breathe! Finally these sweet little <a href="http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0582462001.html" target="_blank">H&M floral slides</a> are really girlie, and they'd look so fab paired with a flowing midi dress or some culottes. </div>

All three of the above blazers have three-quarter length sleeves which makes them that little bit more wearable too<i><b>. </b></i>The colour of this <a href="https://www.bershka.com/gb/women/clothing/jackets/blazers/flowing-blazer-with-rolled-up-sleeves-c1010193258p101645111.html?colorId=305" target="_blank">gorgeous mustard blazer from Bershka</a> just calls to me. It's the perfect way to smarten up an otherwise casual outfit and it's just so FUN! I absolutely love the combo of a bright, razor sharp blazer and a graphic tee. <i>So fetch.</i><br />
<br />
Pastel's will just <b>never</b> go out of style, and this <a href="https://www.riverisland.com/p/light-blue-ruched-sleeve-blazer-719685" target="_blank">powder blue River Island blazer</a> is something I could have seen my mum wearing in the 80's, which I think is part of it's charm. The crepe material of this one is so lightweight, and gives it a really luxe feel. It would be perfect as a co-ord as shown, or paired with a killer LBD and heels.<br />
<br />
<i> </i><br />
I'm slightly biased in picking this last blazer as I actually already own it! It's from <a href="https://www.stradivarius.com/gb/woman/clothing/shop-by-product/blazers/stripe-blazer-c1695505p300745817.html?colorId=148" target="_blank">Stradivarius</a>, and I feel is the perfect blazer for those that haven't dabbled much with blazers or sharp tailoring, as tee shape of this one is much softer and casual. I love the side splits too, they give it a really chill, dressed-down feel. I love pairing it with a simple cami and some distressed mom jeans!<br />
<br />
<br />
So will you be channelling your inner <i>Girlboss </i>any time soon? Are you working the work-wear trend in <b>or</b> out of the office? Or both?! Let me know in the comments below.<br />

Hey cutie-pies, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is it just me or did Summer just appear from absolutely nowhere? What I thought was going to be a week long mini heatwave seems to have turned into <b>actual Summer</b> and as thrilled as I was that I didn't need to take a jacket out with me, I really wasn't prepared for my #SummerBod in the slightest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Engage thrusters, everyone to their battle stations, Thunderbirds are go!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone that knows me well knows I've been struggling with an extremely slow metabolism for a while now and it's been really getting me down and pushing me into one of those vicious cycles of snacking rather than eating proper meals, <i>then conveniently forgetting about the snacking</i>, then eating the meal anyway! I was feeling pretty low about myself around a month or so ago when an email popped into my inbox about <a href="https://boombod.co.uk/">Boombod.</a><span id="goog_628015449"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_628015450"></span> I <u>must</u> admit I was dubious when I saw the words '<i>Appetite Suppressant' </i>but was also extremely curious to see if it would help with my snacking!</div>

<a href="https://boombod.co.uk/pages/how-it-works" target="_blank">Boombod</a> is essentially a week long programme where you take 3 different sachets per day (the Morning Energizer, Afternoon Motivator and the Night Rejuvenator); each packed with vitamins and minerals and a <i>magical</i> key ingredient. The programme is meant to suppress appetite, curb cravings and help shift some LB's!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll point out now that there are absolutely NO laxatives or hidden herbal ingredients that promote a laxative effect, unlike some other "weight loss" products. (<i>Skinny Teas I'm looking at you</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>How does it work?</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each 10 calorie sachet, contains vitamins as well as the key ingredient Glucomannan. When mixed with water this very rapidly turns into a solid jelly-like substance which partially fills the stomach, leaving less space for food AND less desire to snack! (<i>Yay for me!</i>) I felt like it took me a day to get the process right though as the powder solidifies <b>so quickly</b> once water is added that you really need to shot it immediately. <i>Basically just imagine it's tequila... </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has a sweet, blackcurrant flavour, that while is quite artificial tasting, is not unpleasant at all. The only thing I would say about the taste is that it would be nice for them to consider adding another flavour to the mix for a bit of variation. (<i>As 21 sachets of the same thing does get a little dull</i>.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Does it <i>Actually </i>Work?</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Abso-friggin-lutely! Cause of how saccharin-sweet the flavour is, I found my afternoon sugar cravings almost completely disappeared. (<i>Plus my work head-office has a Sweet Shop about 30 seconds away from my desk, so sweets are always very much within reach.</i>) What's better is it helped cut my snacking down a <u>tonne</u> and decreased my portion size by a good third because I was genuinely full before finishing my plate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I <i>even </i>didn't take my Night Rejuvenator sachet one day because I was going to Nandos and didn't want to waste any delicious Peri Peri goodness! </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Final Thoughts and Results</b></u></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>I lost 4lbs over the course of the week (<i>and kept three of them off</i>) but more importantly it's got me out of the habit of snacking so often - which is a huge win in my book.</li>
<li>At £30 (<a href="https://boombod.co.uk/?currency=gbp" target="_blank">although currently Buy One Get One Free</a>), it's not the cheapest appetite suppressant on the market <i><b>however it 100% works and is not a gimmick</b></i>. I think Boombod have harnessed a really clever ingredient here in glucomannan too.</li>
<li>It tastes fine and doesn't give any adverse side effects in the bathroom department. (<i>Like those dreaded skinny teas I mentioned earlier</i>.)</li>
<li>It's gluten free, suitable for vegetarians, contains no sugar or aspartame and only 10 calories per sachet. </li>
</ul>

Hey my lovers,</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever been to a concert that's just absolutely blown your socks off? I've never <b>really</b> gone full fangirl for any artist in the past, and although I absolutely adore going to concerts and the feeling of listening to live music, I've never been one to scream for the artists or to cry at the songs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>That all changed on Saturday 16th June when I witnessed the masterpiece that is Haim perform at the Alexandra Palace. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my absolute best friends Megan <b>IS</b> one of those crazy fangirls when it comes to Haim and booked our tickets months ago, so we'd already began planning out our cute girlie weekend when I was contacted by the <a href="https://www.sn-ap.com/" target="_blank">Sn-ap Travel</a> team about trying their new direct coach service to London! <br />

Our adorable girlie weekend began with us meeting on Oxford Street In Leicester<i>,</i> armed with lots of snacks (<i>and a suitcase each filled with far too many clothing options for one weekend</i>), ready to be picked up by our <a href="https://www.sn-ap.com/" target="_blank">Sn-ap travel</a> operated coach to London. I was kindly given a voucher for both of our return tickets to London but they would have only cost £6<i> </i>each!

The whole idea behind <a href="https://www.sn-ap.com/page/how-snap-works" target="_blank">Sn-ap</a> is really clever; they work with executive coach companies and essential 'pitch' each journey to the companies who then bid on each trip. The coach provider with the highest previous Sn-ap user rating will be given the trip. I have to say I'm amazed at how they're able to keep their costs so low for such an easy, fuss free service!<br />

We were sent a tracking link around half an hour before our pick-up, so we could track the driver's process, as well as being given the driver name and registration number. I can be quite an anxious traveller so being able to see <b>exactly</b> where the coach was before it reached us made the whole process so stress free. The journey time was around 2 hours to Finchley Road, (<i>we chose to get off a stop early as our Air BnB was in North London, but we were booked to stay on until Covent Garden</i>). The drivers on both the way there and back were so friendly and accommodating, the coaches were clean, spacious and comfy, and the whole thing was so flipping easy (<i>and cheap</i>), I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!</div>

After dropping off our shiz at our Air BnB in Finsbury Park, (<i>and after a quick freshen up cause London is HOT AF and I was <b>quite</b> the sweaty mess</i>), Meg and I headed to Carnaby for some shopping. We then stumbled into The Diner (<i>or more like I forcibly dragged Megan in</i>), because it was 5pm and I was seriously craving waffles. For the record they have one of the best all day breakfast menus in London. <i>10/10 would bang. </i></div>

After a drink or two and some mouth-wateringly good food, we headed back to the Air BnB via Tesco Express for some pre-gig essentials (<i>pre-mixed gin and tonic cans of course!?</i>). We then jumped on the tube to Wood Green and played that fun little game of "<i>lets try and spot who else is going to watch Haim</i>", before joining the hordes of excited fans making their way to Ally Pally!<br />
<br />
The gig was honestly one of the most amazing live performance I've ever seen. The Haim sisters are SO bloody cool it's actually a joke; and seeing them rock out on stage, constantly swapping instruments (<i>and insults</i>) with each other and just killing every single harmony-rich song was an absolute joy. Megan and I left the venue in such a state of euphoria and GIRL POWER (<i>and with absolutely no voices from all of our screaming and cheering</i>) and pretty much collapsed on our beds the second we arrived back home.<br />

Luckily our return coach home with Sn-ap was really comfortable and spacious, so we were able to snooze the entire way back to Leicester, in between re-watching our stories a MILLION times over and re-living our favourite moments from the night.<br />
<br />
Overall I had the most amazing weekend and couldn't have imagined a better person to spend it with than Megan. Thank you so much to <a href="https://www.sn-ap.com/" target="_blank">Sn-ap</a> for providing our transport, you'll definitely be seeing us again!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back with another post from my <a href="http://www.adoseofchatter.com/search?q=style+spotlight" target="_blank">Style Spotlight</a> series; and today I'll be talking to y'all about prints. I was inspired to write this whilst doing some shopping recently in the Trafford centre in Manchester, where I came across some <b>totally gorgeous</b> printed pieces from <a href="http://www.warehouse.co.uk/gb/home" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Warehouse</a> that I knew I wanted to discuss in a blog post! Also thank you to everyone that's messaged or tweeted me about my Style Spotlight series; I've been getting such fab feedback from you guys about it, and I'm honestly so glad you're all loving it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've scoured the internet for my favourite prints on the high street right now, so let me know in the comments below what you think of my picks, and if you've got your eye on anything right now! </div>

<b>Jazzy Jumpsuits!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Firstly let's just discuss why jumpsuits are so great:<br />
<br />
<b>1. </b>They're
a fab layering piece, perfect with a plain tee underneath in the cooler
months, and fab on their own when the sun decides to show itself. (<i>Yes for those 5 days of the year</i>)<br />
<b>2.</b> They're often fairly baggy so a GREAT way to hide a food baby after far too much food and alcohol has been consumed (<i>guilty as charged</i>).<br />
<b>3.</b>
They are just as cool as dresses but come without the risk of flashing
the entire street at 8am on a windy morning walk to work. (<i>Not cool. not cool at all</i>)<br />

Find me a <a href="http://www.warehouse.co.uk/gb/clothing/jumpsuits-and-playsuits/" target="_blank">jumpsuit</a> more chic than this <a href="http://www.warehouse.co.uk/gb/clothing/jumpsuits-and-playsuits/palm-print-jumpsuit/031840.html?dwvar_031840_color=76&position=3&cgid=playsuits-jumpsuits#&start=3&categoryID=playsuits-jumpsuits" target="_blank">Palm Print Jumpsuit</a> (<i>far left</i>) from Warehouse. The print, the cut, the neckline, the cute little sash... I'm just totally obsessed. It's a great transitional piece that would look amazing dressed down with a pair of Adidas Superstars and a straw bag, but also with some barely there heels and a little clutch.<br />
<br />
The light blue dainty print of the H&M <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/K8ut" target="_blank">Ankle Length Floral Jumpsuit</a> is so sweet and girlie and I love how floaty it looks. This again would be a perfect option to layer under a white tee if you're not quite ready to bare those shoulders, and is perfect for travelling! (<i>You'll need to cover up when visiting religious buildings, temples and shrines and this way you'll can dress appropriately AND not end up a sweaty mess</i>. <i>Win</i>)<br />
<br />
In need of some wedding outfit inspiration? Look no further than a cute, ruffle sleeved jumpsuit. This <a href="http://www.warehouse.co.uk/gb/clothing/jumpsuits-and-playsuits/blossom-print-jumpsuit/031657.html?dwvar_031657_color=99&position=7&cgid=playsuits-jumpsuits#plpPosition=5&start=7&categoryID=playsuits-jumpsuits" target="_blank">Blossom Print</a> one from Warehouse is a fab option if you're feeling colourful, but there are so many variations on the formal jumpsuit; whether it's one shoulder, sweetheart neckline or a bardot style. The possibilities are endless!<br />
<br />
This <a href="https://www.stradivarius.com/gb/woman/clothing/shop-by-product/jumpsuits-%26-playsuits/culotte-jumpsuit-with-a-knot-c1020047072p300687013.html?colorId=145" target="_blank">Culotte Jumpsuit with a knot</a> (<i>award for the most uninventive product name goes to this one</i>) from Stradivarius screams DJ Jazzy Jeff to me for all the right reasons. I just love the neon leaf print that's going on, and feel like this could be a seriously comfy and chill AF piece to rock as the weather transitions from Spring to Summer!</div>

If you're not quite ready to embrace the crazy patterns from head to toe, and would rather keep them <b>on</b> your toes; look no further than some cute and comfy animal print sandals. I've picked out a few of my favourites that I feel are the perfect balance between statement and wearable, and I can totally see myself buying every flipping pair once this post goes live! The pointed <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/K3mN" target="_blank">Pony Hair Flats</a> in the top left picture are from Karen Millen, and I love the combination of the studs with the girlie bow tie around the ankle. (<i>Very Valentino too, which is always a good thing.</i>)<br />
<br />
The snake print <a href="http://www.warehouse.co.uk/gb/accessories/shoes/leather-2-part-sandal/030856.html?dwvar_030856_color=99&position=23&cgid=shoes" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Leather Two Part Sandals from Warehouse</a> on the top right are my personal favourite out of all of these shoes. I love that they have a little ankle strap to stop your foot moving around too much, plus they're only £22 which is an absolute bargain! ( <i>BRB just buying them in every colour</i>). The bottom left shoes are the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/K3oi" target="_blank">Light Pink Leopard Espadrilles</a> from H&M and I love the fun colours they've used for these. Plus everyone needs a comfy pair of espadrilles for summer! The gorgeous <a href="http://www.warehouse.co.uk/gb/accessories/shoes/leather-cross-over-slider/030860.html?dwvar_030860_color=95&position=4&cgid=shoes#&start=4&categoryID=shoes" target="_blank">Leather Crossover Sliders</a> in the bottom right are another Warehouse find, and I feel like they're such an effortlessly cool piece, and a staple for your summer wardrobe.<br />

Lets be realistic, as excited as I get about summer weather, we do <b>still live in England</b>, so it's always good to have a pretty printed jacket standing by, just in case it <i>does</i> start raining cats and dogs! This sweet <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/K8Jo" target="_blank">Pink Striped Crepe Blazer</a> from New Look is the perfect mix between tailoring and casual. The relaxed silhouette makes this wearable from workplace to after work drinks, and the pink stripes are oh so candy sweet!<br />
<b></b><br />
Now when I think of printed bomber jackets, my mind totally goes to Karamo from Queer Eye and his addiction to wearing them<i>. </i>(<i>Side note: isn't Queer Eye the most sweet, touching, emotional and magical programme you've ever watched in your life?!</i>) This <a href="https://www.zara.com/uk/en/printed-bomber-jacket-p02439492.html" target="_blank">Zara printed number</a> is so funky and retro, I'm living for it! <i> </i><br />
<i>And I think Karamo would be too. </i><br />
<br />
The kimono is definitely a summer staple; whether it's being worn as a light layer, or a pool cover-up. There were about a million and one different styles I could have picked for this category but <a href="http://www.warehouse.co.uk/gb/clothing/jackets-and-coats/maisie-floral-kimono/031874.html?dwvar_031874_color=36&position=7&cgid=coats-casual-jackets#plpPosition=3&start=7&categoryID=coats-casual-jackets" target="_blank">this Floral Kimono</a> jumped out at me cause of its zingy orange piping and sleek shape. <i>Je t'adore. </i><br />

If y'all follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/izzymariehill/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> then you probably already saw, but I went to a pretty epic event with Boohoo on Thursday night. It consisted of one too many G & T's, (<i>who knew that was even possible..</i>) Tiff and I cutting some shapes on the dancefloor, and an amazing performance from the woman herself, Stefflon Don. Boohoo seriously know how to throw a launch party, and the venue was full to the brim with celebs, press and a few bloggers, so I was totally honoured to receive an invite!<br />

Boohoo have been teasing their collab with <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/features/stefflon-don.html" target="_blank">Stefflon Don</a> for a couple weeks now and I've been getting all kinds of excited.<br />
<br />
<u>Why?</u> Because well, #ShesTheDon! Her makeup, hair and general style is <b>KILLER</b> and I really want to replicate that off duty (<i>but still cute AF</i>) athleisure look she's been rocking lately. But the second and more important reason is because I'm so happy to see a fiercely real girl with <i>curves for days</i> fronting such a major fashion campaign for a change. The whole collection is available in sizes 6-24 which is amazing too! I know Boohoo's last campaign with Zendaya had really inclusive sizing too, so I have to say I'm feeling like a proud mama right now.<br />
<br />
<i>Boohoo you're doing amazing sweetie.</i><br />
<br />
<i> </i>Anyway, (<i>God don't I love to waffle</i>), I've been ogling the collection and there are soooo many pieces that I absolutely need in my life right now, so I thought it would be fun to share my top picks with you! <br />

I saw a couple of Stefflon Don's entourage rocking this print at the launch event and I instantly fell in love. One was wearing these trousers, one in a dress and another in a crop top <i>- Serious girl band vibes</i>. These are the <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/stefflon-don-scarf-print-satin-crop-cargo-trousers/DZZ21307.html" target="_blank">Scarf Print Satin Crop Cargo Trouser</a> and they're just SO extra, I'm obsessed. I'd personally wear them with a pair of lace up stiletto booties and a crop top, but they could easily be dressed down with a bomber jacket and some crisp, white trainers. <i>Come to mama. </i><br />

I <b>love love love</b> the vertical stripes on this <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/stefflon-don-bandeau-contour-bodycon-dress/DZZ21291.html" target="_blank">Bandeau Contour Bodycon Dress</a> and can see it being really flattering. The white and black panelling give it that classic monochrome look, but then the cobalt blue piping and zip detail edges it up. I have a million dresses in my wardrobe, but I'm so drawn to this, it's so unique and nothing like anything I already own! <i>Obsessed</i><br />

It's <b>such</b> a gorgeous colour, and the tie front is a really cute detail. I feel like it could be dressed up or down too, and at £14 it's definitely not breaking the bank. Liv from Love Island actually wore it to the event and I remember loving it before even realising it was Boohoo<i>. (My plan was actually to stalk her Instagram the next day in the hope she would tag it in an outfit pic, so imagine my surprise and glee when I saw it on the Boohoo homepage as part of Stefflon Don's collaboration!

I feel like this set <i>screams</i> 90's Sporty Spice to me, for ALL the right reasons. The black panelling down the sizes gives it that sporty edge (<i>and you all know how much of a sucker I am for stripes on clothes too</i>). The <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/stefflon-don-sports-stripe-lace-up-sweat-top/DZZ21034.html" target="_blank">Stripe Lace Up Sweat Top</a> is so versatile, it could easily be worn out for drinks with a black leather skirt; or thrown on top of a pair of high waisted jeans for a casual but cute look. The lace up detail on the matching <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/stefflon-don-lace-up-side-stripe-trouser/DZZ21033.html" target="_blank">Side Stripe Trousers</a> makes these equally adorable, and an even more necessary purchase! </div>

I've always struggled to find trousers that flatter my wide hips so I pretty much feel like I've struck gold with these ones. They're only £15 too, and come in so many different patterns and prints, so I definitely think I'll be purchasing a few more before they sell out!</div>

Hey pals,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you may already know, your girl loves carbs. A LOT. So when I heard there was a new restaurant in Nottingham with the word 'Dough' in the title, needless to say I got rather excited. I threw on one of my <u>many</u> pairs of striped trousers, (<i>seriously though, my collection is getting out of hand</i>) donned my favourite sock boot heels from LOTD and jumped into the car with my bestie/chauffer/personal photographer/fellow carb addict Tiff, to head to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HappyDoughLuckyUK/">Happy Dough Lucky</a> for <b>all the munching.</b><br />
<br />

Firstly, I have to start off by saying how amazing the decor is at Happy Dough Lucky. It's based inside the Lacehouse, a cocktail bar I have known and loved for many years, and whilst the decor has always been cool; they've really upped their game for their new boutique pizzeria. There's something Instagrammable on every space of every wall; cool neon signs (<i>which as you've probably already seen on Instagram I <u>just had</u> to pose under</i>), and the cutest little wall of polaroid pictures - which I'll explain later.<br />

Whilst waiting for our table, we were greeted with a passionfruit and mango rum cocktail, which was delicious and <b>far too easy</b> to drink. (<i>Think liquid, alcoholic Solero and you're not far off!</i>) When we made our way to our table, the owner and manager Sachin came over and stamped our menus which I thought was a really cool touch.<br />
<br />
He then talked us through the concept and creation of Happy Dough Lucky and pointed out his favourite bits on the menu, whilst throwing in a funny anecdote here and there.<br />
<br />
<i>And then the drooling commenced.</i><br />

I went with my gal pals <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_sophielauren/">Sophie</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/frostinspace/">Tiff</a> and when the starters were served, (AKA garlic dough balls and chilli fries) I'd <b>like</b> to say that we were really polite, and shared them out slowly and equally. Alas. What actually took place probably looked more like an episode of Planet Earth, where a pack of vultures descends on a rotting carcus. Gross analogy aside, both starters were <b>beyond delicious!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I'm honestly not exaggerating when I say that these garlic dough balls are the <u>best I've ever had.</u> I've always loved Pizza Express' offering but whilst those are squidgy, these ones are perfectly crispy and crunchy on the outside, with a fluffy, soft inside. Plus they are pre-soaked and fried in garlic so no dipping necessary. <i>Absolute heaven. </i><br />
<br />
The chilli fries were so moreish and spicy as hell (<i>which I love</i>) but the chilli sauce they'd been slathered in had a really nice depth to it, so these were obviously scoffed up in no time.<br />

Onto the mains, and after much deliberation I went for a pizza topped with chicken, jalapeños, peppers and a <b>whole</b> lotta cheese. The chicken was so moist and juicy, and the pizza itself had the most amazing texture and taste. As delicious as it was, we were all thinking ahead about all the pudding we wanted to try - <i>you know, for research</i> - so opted to eat half and take the remaining half home <strike>to eat as a midnight snack</strike> to eat for lunch the next day.<br />

Sachin was telling us about the inspiration trip he took his team on ahead of the pizzeria's launch, where they ventured all around Italy and Morocco sampling pizzas, honing ideas and sourcing spices. (<i>Sounds like a really tough job right?!</i>) They all adored the Neapolitan style pizzas and wanted to bring them back to Nottingham with them and were also really passionate about being the only pizzeria in the city to use fresh dough. You honestly can tell from the funny imperfect circles the pizza arrives in and how fluffy the crusts are.<br />
<br />
Below is the epic polaroid wall I told you about, featuring photos from the team's inspiration trip. It's yet another perfect background for a cheeky Instagram shot, which if you caught <a href="http://www.midnightandlace.co.uk/2018/03/feed-me-pizza-tell-me-im-pretty.html">Midnight and Lace</a>'s blog post on Happy Dough Lucky, you'll know already!<br />

Last but certainly not least... PUDDING. We made an absolute mountain out of a molehill trying to decide what to get for our third and final course. (<i>First world problems, I know, I know!</i>) I finally settled on the hand rolled doughnut, piped with Nutella and ricotta. I'll start by saying that I would make the journey back to Nottingham right now <b>ON FOOT</b> just for this pudding alone. The combination of Nutella and ricotta was something I was somewhat apprehensive about, but OH MY LORD was it wonderful. The chocolate gelato - <i>made with coco pops might I add </i>- was the perfect cooling side dish next to the hot dough and chocolatey goodness.<br />
<br />
<i>10 out of 10 would bang. And I don't say that lightly.</i><br />
<br />
Sachin kindly brought us out the Kinder Bueno Surprise too, which was a dangerous combination of cookie, ice cream, Nutella and cream. <i>Hell yes. </i>I did try to get a photo of Tiff's pancakes too, as they looked divine, but she'd already started digging into them (<i>shock</i>) before I got the chance!<br />

Overall I had the most amazing experience at <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186356-d13424461-Reviews-Happy_Dough_Lucky-Nottingham_Nottinghamshire_England.html">Happy Dough Lucky</a>. The service was fab (<i>and hilarious</i>) and looking around I noticed the same service and care was being given to both press and customers - which to me is hugely important. You can clearly see how much passion the whole team have for their food, and rightly so, it's bloody delicious.<br />
<br />
Currently the boutique pizzeria is only a pop up, but I seriously hope they re-consider cause I'm utterly in love. Either way I'd get your butts over there asap, you absolutely won't be sorry you did.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much to the whole HDL team for having us, I'll definitely be back again soon!<br />

Hey beauties, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Spring is <b>finally</b> upon us, the Sun has come out of hibernation and there are no more beasts from the East, West or any direction in sight. YAY. Not to mention it's almost April (<i>AKA my birthday month</i>) when I'll be turning the ripe old age of 25. Basically I could not be happier right now. With each new season comes fabulous new beauty releases and as I feel like I'm pining over so many of them, I think it's time to do a little <a href="http://www.adoseofchatter.com/2017/04/april-lust-list.html">Lust List</a> to get it all out my system. <br />
<br />
<i>Oh and for those of you that need some beauty present inspo... this one's for you! (April 23rd mark your calendars</i>)<br />

There are so many delicious perfume releases right now I swear. Fragrance is one of those gifts that's really tough to get wrong too, and as much as I have and love perfumes from bigger brands, I really enjoy finding more boutique perfumeries. Clive Christian is a brand I have my eye on right now, and they have some amazing <a href="https://www.clivechristian.com/new-private-collection/" rel="nofollow">luxury perfumes for him and her</a>. Their packaging is so sleek and opulent and I can just imagine one of their gorgeous colognes sitting on my dressing table. So much care has been put into crafting each scent too, so these would make the most thoughtful gift!<br />

As most of you know, I'm all about the glow <u>all of the time.</u> I literally cannot leave the house without some kind of highlighter or illuminator on my face. (<i>Well I mean <b>technically</b> I could... I just don't want to.</i>) Sometimes I'll opt for a subtle dewy glow; but there's nothing better than a highlight you can see from outer space, which is why I absolutely need the new Morphe X Bretman Rock collab in my life. The '<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/DvhU">Babe in Paradise</a>' palette comes with 6 STUH-NNING shades and a fan brush for £29 which I think is pretty darn-tooting fabulous. Plus B himself is one of my absolute favourite humans right now, and his make-up is always on point.<br />

Ok so this next one's not <b>totally </b>beauty related, but it's absolutely flipping beautiful so I'm going to include it anyway! Crux London is a gorgeous jewellery brand that was introduced to me by Glitzbox<i> </i>last year, (<a href="http://www.adoseofchatter.com/2017/04/going-for-gold-glitzbox-review-giveaway_16.html"><i>Read my post on them here</i></a>) and I've been lusting over their jewellery ever since. My favourite piece of theirs is the <a href="https://www.cruxlondon.com/the-shop/crux-initial">Crux Initial Necklace</a>. They've created a gorgeous font inspired by constellations, which I think is such a fun twist on a normal initial necklace, yet still just as wearable.<br />

Sorry what's that Izzy, Another highlighter? No, your eyes do not deceive you, it's true. (<i>But this is a totally different product I swear..</i>) I've been all aboard the Charlotte Tilbury train since I received the Naughty & Nice Magic Box for Christmas, and my two favourite products so far are the Magic Cream and Wonderglow. (<a href="http://www.adoseofchatter.com/2018/03/sub-zero-skin-heroes-my-winter-skincare.html"><i>You can read my first impressions on them here.</i></a>) Charlotte's newest launch, her <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/DvtW">Hollywood Flawless Filter</a> is essentially a primer, highlight and foundation all in one, so naturally I 100% need it in my life. The coverage looks sheer but dewy, and it gives such a radiance to the skin - <i>and boy do I wanna be radiant.</i></div>

Stila is a brand I've adored for years; their In The Light palette was my first ever high end beauty purchase when I was around<i> </i>16<i>. (I'm still gutted it was discontinued by the way</i>). They've been killing it with their new releases lately and their <a href="https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/stila-cosmetics-magnificent-metals-glitter-glow-liquid-eye-shadow.html?variant_id=9777">Magnificent Metals Glitter and Glow Liquid Eyeshadows</a> are no exception. You just can't beat an easy, fuss-free makeup look, and that's what I feel like these Stila shadows achieve. One quick swipe over the lid, a little blending with your ring finger and you're done! Obviously I'm drawn to the gold and bronzey shades but I'd be very happy if any of them wanted to find their way into my make-up bag.</div>

Last but definitely not least is Revolution Pro, the new brand from the wonderful Adam Minto, creator and owner of TAM beauty. I've been so lucky to have been on their event guestlists over the years, (<i>Cause they <b>know</b> how to throw a party!</i>) and at their Birthday Party last week they announced the Pro collection and demo'd a few of the products. I'm excited to get my hands on the Foundation drops and Concealers in particular and I love that Adam has remained true to his ethos of high quality, low price with this new range. The below is the <a href="https://www.superdrug.com/Make-Up/Eye-Makeup/Eyeliner/Revolution-Pro-Concealer-Palette-Light-Medium/p/758424">Revolution Pro Concealer Palette Light Medium</a> and would be an absolute staple in any MUA's collection! I feel like I just need it cause I'm the girl that gets roped into doing all of my friends make-up on nights out, so now I'll be ready!</div>

Hey Fashionistas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back with a lil post on a <b>key trend </b>I'm lusting over right now. I've been trying to set myself a rule of making myself wait two weeks <i>(to be totally sure I want something</i>) before going and buying it; but when shops like Zara have items in stock for literally 0.00005 seconds, that's not always possible. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I'm trying to say is, here's a list of stuff I'm loving right now, that I'll probably end up buying<br />
<strike>all oƒ</strike> most of in the very near future. I'm really enjoying producing regular fashion content for you guys, so I've decided to make this blog post into a series, where each post covers a particular trend.<br />
<br />
<i><b>First up? Slogan Tees!</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am <b>so glad</b>
slogan tees are back with a bang. They're just such an effortlessly
cool piece to throw on over a pair of Mom jeans or a leather-look skirt;
and as they're only a t-shirt so they don't break the bank either!
There are so many different options too depending on how sassy you're
feeling. River Island are absolutely killing it in the slogan/graphic
top department right now, so you'll see a few options from them in this
post. <a href="https://www.riverisland.com/c/women/tops" rel="nofollow">Shop their tops here.</a> <u><b><br /></b></u><br />

Handwritten, script-style tees are the perfect way to do slogans, whilst still keeping it girlie. I love the metallic detail on this River Island <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/B6Gf" rel="nofollow">Future of Fashion</a> tee, plus green is a really key colour for Spring. If you love clashing colours, this <a href="http://www.motelrocks.com/products/Oversize-Basic-Tee-in-Heartbreaker-Club-Red-by-Motel.html">Heartbreaker Club</a> tee from Motel Rocks is a great option; the pink and red make sure a cute combo! I'm all about wearing a tshirt that reflects my mood so this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/B6Ny" rel="nofollow">It's All Good</a> tee is right up my street. Perfect for those days when you're feeling chill AF and want everyone to know it.</div>

A lot of t-shirts I've got my eye on at the moment seem to revolve around food. But then again my life pretty much revolves around food, <i>so that does make sense</i>.. The first tee I feel like I've cheated on slightly as I already own it. My wonderful mother has been in London over the last few days, and after seeing an Instagram caption of mine about my love for cheese fries, she saw this <a href="https://www.zara.com/uk/en/printed-t-shirt-p05643085.html?v1=5888006&v2=1035502">French Fries tee</a> in Zara and had to buy it for me! (<i>What a cutie right?!</i>) I love it when tops incorporate gemstones or beading like this <a href="https://www.stradivarius.com/gb/woman/clothing/collection/t-shirts/view-all/bejewelled-fast-food-print-t-shirt-c1020047036p300611508.html?colorId=210&style=15">Popcorn tee</a> from Stradivarius. Who'd of thought popcorn could be so chic? Finally this cute AF <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/B8Ap">Brunch Club t-shirt</a> is an absolute necessity for anyone that likes avocado on toast, which is basically every millennial ever. (<i>Seriously, how could you not though?!</i>)<br />

I don't know who decided to start writing slogans <i>en Français </i>on our clothes, but whoever it was, well, merci. French is such a beautiful language, so why not wear it? It makes the simplest word like 'goodbye' into a far sassier statement, like on <a href="https://www.stradivarius.com/gb/woman/clothing/collection/t-shirts/view-all/printed-t-shirt-with-3-4-length-sleeves-c1020047036p300547517.html?colorId=004">this adorable dotty number from Stradivarius</a>. For that casual (<i>but still cute</i>) vibe, this cropped <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/B8cm" rel="nofollow">L'Amour</a> tee from Pretty Little Thing is a great choice. Very 'That 70's Show'. (<i>14 year old Mila Kunis would be so proud.</i>) I'm also completely obsessed with how over the top glittery this <a href="https://www.pullandbear.com/gb/woman/clothing/t-shirts/short-sleeve-t-shirt-with-glitter-print-c29020p500763512.html#250">Rendez Vous</a> oversized top is from Pull and Bear.<br />

What better place to make a statement than on a statement tee? 2018 has already seen so many amazing and powerful women stand up for what they believe in with campaigns like #MeToo and #Time'sUp, so it's great to see fashion brands are bringing out Pro-Woman tshirts like the ones above.<br />
The <a href="https://www.bershka.com/gb/women/clothing/t-shirts/ecologically-grown-cotton-t-shirt-with-print-c1010193217p101412511.html?colorId=251">Girlism flag top</a> is a really clean and simple option, plus Bershka grow their cotton ecologically which is amazing! I love the boldness of this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/B8HR" rel="nofollow">Femme tee</a> from River Island, and could easily see it being paired with a killer blazer and some printed boots - <i>very Girlboss</i>. Also how cute is the crest embroidery on this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/B8MT" rel="nofollow">RI Girlhood tee</a>? <i>So fetch. </i><br />

Hey beauties, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you may all have gathered by now, I absolutely adored my trip to Iceland. It's 100% a place I see myself going back to, probably in the summer to do more of the North and East sides of the island. We had planned to visit the breathtaking Diamond Beach, but as often is the case in Winter, the roads along our route were closed off due to snowstorms and avalanches. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Honestly though, we couldn't have wished for a more perfect holiday, and I really feel like we made the most of our time there, and saw everything there was to see in Reykjavik and the Western side of Iceland! <i>To be honest there were things I now can't unsee, but we'll get onto that later... </i>For now, stay tuned for my absolute must-dos in Iceland's capital.</div>

<b>Rekke Reykjavik</b> - On day one of any trip I love to go for a little wander, just to get to grips with the area. You know, eye up any yummy-looking restaurants or bars <i><b>(</b>And <b>obviously</b> locate all the insta-worthy err, locations</i> <i>too!</i>) So, you better be wearing an outfit you want lots of photos in! I opted for cosy cute - <i>which is basically my aesthetic all the time right now</i> - and wore <a href="http://uk-dwstg.boohoo.com/ivy-colour-block-chevron-knitted-oversized-jumper/DZZ29693.html?color=155">this amazing Boohoo jumper</a> which just screams 1970's Olympic ski team to me! I absolutely love the bold clashing colours and the chevron pattern. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My bag of choice HAD to be this adorable pink quilted number, again from Boohoo. Aside from it being cute as hell, it's the perfect size to fit my camera and other essentials. I feel like a cross body bag is <b>so essential</b> when travelling cause they're just so accessible, especially in a place as photogenic as Iceland, cause you'll be taking your camera out about every 30 seconds to take a picture!</div>

<b>Just Cruising </b>- Yes you absolutely can spend a few glorious days in Reykjavik and its surroundings without a car, but if you do want to do a little exploring (<i>and not pay hundreds of pounds for a Golden Circle tour</i> <i>may I add</i>), you can rent a car and see the sights on your own terms. Our hire cost us £120 for an entire week, and it was SO worth it. There's something so magical about driving along a road, and having your entire surroundings - including the road ahead of you<i> </i>- a magical glittering white. It honestly felt like we were on another planet at times. Although I'd strongly suggest <a href="http://www.road.is/">checking your routes regularly</a> before travelling (<i>a lot of major roads become impassable or just plain closed during the Winter months</i>.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so glad we saw the sights of the Golden Circles by ourself, it meant we got to spend extra time at <a href="http://gullfoss.is/">Gulfoss</a> waterfall, which was so breathtaking, and have a proper little explore of <span data-original-name="Þingvellir"><a href="http://www.thingvellir.is/plan-your-visit/interactive-maps.aspx">Þingvellir National Park</a> when there wasn't hordes of tourists there. I was honestly geeking out at the thought of standing in the trench between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates too. <i>SO COOL!</i></span><br />

<b>Take A Hike</b> - One thing both Lucy and I were adamant about ahead of our Iceland trip was that somewhere along the way, we were going for a hike! Cause the weather was so stormy and unpredictable during our stay, we started researching for things to see and do within a couple of hours from Reykjavik. We stumbled upon a trip advisor review of this amazing sounding hot spring at Reykjadalur, which involved an hour drive from the town centre, a 30 minute hike through the mountains <i>(yeh maybe in Summer when there's no snow and if you're a bloody gazelle...</i>) and the bathe of your life in this geothermic river. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We decided this would be our Lara Croft-style expedition, and it really was. There were gail-force winds, hailstones the size of my face, icy cliff edges, but it was <b>all</b> the more worth it when we arrived at the hot spring, stripped down to our skivvies and jumped in the welcoming volcanic waters. This was probably my favourite moment of our trip, and I'd so recommend it, just make sure you set off at around 9am from town, cause the hike is more like 90 minutes- 2 hours depending on weather and fitness levels, and you'll want to spend a bit of time at the spring too before all the backpackers start showing up! Bring a flask and some food for when you're up there too! <i>You are welcome.</i></div>

<b>Get Your Kaffi Fix</b> - One thing I LOVE about Iceland is that they don't allow franchises like Starbucks and Macdonalds in the country. Now don't get me wrong, your girl loves a Soy Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks <b>however</b> I'd much rather support and try out smaller chains and independents. Our favourite Caffination station was Tea & Kaffi, which is the cutest little chain in Iceland. There are some really cool locations too, one's on the third floor of a department store if you fancy coffee with a view! Their Chai Latte is also <u>so delicous</u> and the servers are always pretty hunky too! (<i>And mega friendly. But mostly cute.</i>)<br />

<b>King Dong? </b>- "<i>Sorry what?</i>' I hear you all cry... Now I'm going to blame Lucy for this one, but whilst looking at things to do in Reykjavik's town centre we stumbled upon one of the most bizarrely specific museums I've ever seen. The Icelandic Phallological Museum is described as "<i>a unique collection, the only one of its kind in the world!"</i> I mean this is literally the only chance you're ever going to get at seeing a penis museum, and it is a <b>willie</b> interesting place. It cost about £5 to visit, and I feel like it's one of those Bucket List things you have to do while in Iceland. We definitely left feeling more informed, <i>probably too informed</i>, about all the various specimens, but we for sure had a giggle.</div>

<b>Have The Best Time!</b> - Iceland is such a magical place, so you're sure to have an incredible time whatever you end up doing. Lucy and I stayed in an apartment, which is great cause we're both eternally hungry (<i>hello 3am snack time</i>) and drink tea by the gallon. We ate so much delicious food out though, which involved a lot of broth and even that is sent from the heavens. (<i>And trust me, I've never been the type of person to get excited by soup.</i> Head to a place called <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g189970-d13133307-Reviews-Supa-Reykjavik_Capital_Region.html">Supa</a>, for a cheap and cheerful broth filled-lunch that'll have you saying "<i>Please sir, can I have some more?</i>"</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The products I'll be talking about in this post were my absolute saviours whilst I was away in Iceland. It wasn't as cold as I expected it to be, but the wind chill over there is something else! If you're taking a trip to anywhere that's a little chilly, or your skin's just in need of some hydration, read on cause I got you covered!</div>

Let me know if you want a more in-depth review of the Charlotte Tilbury <a href="http://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/naughty-and-nice-beauty-advent-calendar.html">Naughty and Nice Magic Box</a>; whether I think it's worth the price, my favourite products etc. It was a very generous and totally surprising gift from my wonderful mother this Christmas, and it's taken me forever to actually start using the products, cause I wanted to preserve them. (<i>Yes I'm that sad</i>.) I'm really loving them all so far though, especially the couple I'm mentioning today! Someone probably needs to confiscate my debit card when I'm next in a department store with a CT stand else I'll likely end up doing some serious damage to my bank account. <i>But hey, at least I'll look cute. </i></div>

Glossier is a brand I've <a href="http://www.adoseofchatter.com/2017/11/the-glossier-dossier.html">featured on the blog before</a>, back when I made my first ever order from the website. It was a first impressions, and my initial love for all the products I tried has remained, especially for this absolute hero of a lip balm. I really expected to come home with the most horrendously chapped lips after day experiencing the bitter winds of Reykjavik on day one, but this little baby was an absolute life saver for the whole trip. Its super thick consistency made for the best barrier against the elements, even when Lucy and I went hiking up a mountain. (<i>Yes. In the dead of winter. During a snow storm. And hail. Oh the hail. You'll have to wait for my next post to hear about that</i>). If you want a lip balm that has great staying power, and doesn't look horrendous when you smear it all over your mouth and nose, (<i>Yes noses get dry too boo</i>), then you should definitely pick up <a href="https://www.glossier.com/products/balm-dotcom">Glossier's Balm Dotcom</a>. I've got my eye on the glittery Birthday one next.</div>

<a href="http://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/multi-miracle-glow.html">Charlotte Tilbury Multi Miracle Glow.</a> This is a three in one product, and I'm absolutely <b>in love</b> with using it every which way possible. Its first use is as a melting balm that you rub in and then wash off. I'd personally use it as a second step cleanser after taking off my makeup, just to get my face super squeaky clean.It's similar to the Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm but a much yummier scent and texture in my opinion, and there's no film or dryness leftover, despite how much of a deep cleanse it gives. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other main use (<i>and my personal favourite</i>) is as an overnight treatment that you apply and allow to soak into the skin. I wake up with baby-smooth skin every time I use this and it leaves the most gorgeous glow. It's definitely an overnight treatment as it needs time to sink in, but my skin always feels so nourished and healthy after using this. Plus at £45 for 100ml I really don't think it's unreasonable. I'll 100% be purchasing the full size of it when this miniature runs out. </div>

I'll admit it, I'm an absolute sucker for a face mist. I have far too many and I'll probably never finish them all but I <u>just can't stop</u> buying them. So obviously I felt personally victimised by the placement of the Kiehls counter at Gatwick World Duty Free (<i>just kidding, I just have zero willpower around pretty skincare</i>), and had to make a purchase. I'd tried <a href="https://www.kiehls.co.uk/new/new/travel-toiletries/cactus-flower-mist/KHL118.html">this product</a> at a Kiehls on Wheels beauty event a few months prior and immediately fell in love with the scent so the second I locked eyes on it, I knew it'd be coming on holiday with me! The nozzle produces a really fine mist which is so soothing, plus the blend of geranium, rosemary and lavender is just pure heaven. It's exactly the "drink" your skin needs after a long day of wearing make-up and battling the elements and I'm still using it non stop even now!</div>

This was always the skincare product I lusted after from Charlotte Tilbury. <a href="http://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/charlottes-magic-cream.html">Charlotte's Magic Cream</a> has been so highly talked about for so long, and I'd always been so desperate to try it, I practically did a little squeak of joy when I realised the Naughty and Nice Box came with such a good sized mini of it! Obviously it did not disappoint and has quickly become a staple to my skincare routine. It's quite thick so I'd allow a good ten minutes for it to sink into the skin before applying makeup, but I can't get over the radiant finish it gives my skin. At £70 for 50ml it is most definitely a luxurious purchase, but I really don't see myself wanting to be without it any time soon!</div>

<i>Primers, moisturisers, moisturising primers, priming moisturisers</i>. I'm not quite sure where the line is between the two, or in fact why more products don't do both in one go like this one. I'm pretty generous with the amount of this I squeeze out and massage into my face, but I love the glossy yet tacky finish it gives, and my make-up always applies beautifully when I've used this as my base. Glossier's focus has always been on healthy, dewy skin and I definitely feel like their <a href="https://www.glossier.com/products/priming-moisturizer">Priming Moisturizer</a> is key for achieving that. I don't know if I can say I've noticed the anti-redness properties, but my foundation held up really well the whole time I was in Iceland, and I never found myself getting dry patches or wearing away. If you class yourself as having dry skin there is a thicker, version of this, called the <a href="https://www.glossier.com/products/priming-moisturizer-rich">Priming Moisturizer Rich</a>, which I'd definitely be intrigued to try! (<i>And equally hearing your opinions if you've tried it!</i>) I wonder if it'd have the same priming effect being so much heavier though? </div>

<i> </i>The angels at <a href="https://lotd.com/">LOTD</a> (<i>which stands for Look of the Day</i>) kindly sent me this stunning jacket ahead of my Reykjavik trip, and I'm <b>so</b> glad they did!<i> </i>I'll be doing a post dedicated to staying cute but cosy in the absolutely freezing conditions you'll face in Iceland, but I had to give a special feature to this jacket cause I'm just so in love with it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ordered it a size up so it wouldn't be too fitted on top of my many many layers, and I was just so impressed with the quality when it arrived! It's a really thick faux leather and then has a faux fur trim, which is such a gorgeous detail, but my fave thing about it that the <b>entire inside</b> of the jacket is faux fur lined! <i>It basically feels like I'm wrapped up in a fluffy blanket, yet I'm actually wearing a hella trendy jacket. Cue the Hannah Montana "Best of Both Worlds" theme song.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I paired the aviator jacket with my go-to striped Bershka trousers, some thick socks and biker boots. They're just so comfy and easy to throw on, plus they held up really well in the snow cause they have a decent tread, so I'm pleased to say there wasn't a single Bambi on Ice moment...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucy my travel buddy and I were feeling a little bit adventurous on this particular day and chose to get our ankles out. (<i>Bad decision FYI</i>, <i>my frozen shins did not thank me for this later).</i></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished the outfit off with my fave little hat from <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/z8ON">Accessorize</a>, which is both stylish and practical. My head remained toasty for the whole day - <i>unlike my poor poor ankles</i> - and I'm just loving the baker boy trend right now! I'm so glad I finally jumped on the bandwagon and bought this one, cause I basically can't stop wearing them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I really would suggest checking out the LOTD website, their <a href="https://lotd.com/collections/coats-jackets">Coats and Jackets</a> section is <b>killer</b> right now, plus they have 48% off until tomorrow!!!<br />

Hey munchkins, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like life has been <b>so busy</b> lately that I honestly don't remember the last time I had a proper lazy Sunday. (<i>Or a lazy any day for that matter...</i>) You know the kind where you just veg out all day doing the absolute bare minimum except for the few things that make you happy? I thought it would be fun to put together a little post featuring a few of <b>my</b> favourite ways to pass the time on a Sunday! So here goes..</div>

<u><b>First things first: Have a lie in.</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I'm one of those strange people that honestly can't sleep in past 10am - <i>I think my brain just stresses cause I'm wasting valuable Netflix-binging time</i> - so when I say have a lie in, I just sleep in till as long as I possibly can. Pathetic I know<i>.</i> I make sure not a single alarm is set, which is<b> such </b>a nice feeling, and then when I do eventually wake up, I listen out for anyone else in the house who I can convince to make me a cup of tea in bed..<br />

<u><b>They'll be there for you</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b> </b></u>Cause who said getting up actually meant getting OUT of bed? There's nothing better than staying snug under the covers and watching <strike>a little</strike> ok a lot of Netflix when you've got a day to yourself. You can never go wrong with Friends, (<i>Thank you Netflix Gods for FINALLY deciding to allow us Brits to stream it!</i>) but I've also been massively loving Crime shows and documentaries lately. I've just finished Mindhunter which I <b>absolutely loved</b>, and now I'm itching to find something equally addictive. Awaiting suggestions if anyone has any! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<u><b>Regain Those Electrolytes</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So <i>from time to time </i>on a Sunday morning, I find myself feeling a little worse for wear. The reason for this is usually very simple - <b>Gin.</b> (<i>Side note, I recently read up on <a href="https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/163917/origin-of-the-phrase-mothers-ruin" rel="nofollow">why Gin has the nickname 'Mothers Ruin'</a> and lord is it fascinating</i>) After a crazy Saturday night out I usually want to do very little the following day, but I'll always make sure to stay hydrated to avoid the dreaded hangover. The <a href="http://getmorevits.com/">Get More Vits</a> range are my go-to drink for these kind of days cause they have so many yummy flavours available, that are full of natural spring water, and vitamins too! The <a href="http://getmorevits.com/product/get-more-range/vitamin-a/">Vitamin A</a> drink, which is a really refreshing sparkling blackcurrant and blueberry flavour, is my favourite because it's essential for healthy skin and eyesight. (<i>Cause who doesn't want 20-20 vision and glowing skin?!</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<u><b>Cosy Up With a Good Read - And Your Cat!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I mentioned, Crime or Horror is my go-to genre, whether I'm picking out a new book, film or TV show. Especially with books though, it's rare that something other than a crime novel grabs my attention for more than a few pages. I've only just started this one by Simon Lelic, so I can't say if I like it however it sounds like it's got an element of the supernatural in it which I love! There's nothing better than getting totally immersed in a book and then realising hours have gone by. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually I only notice how long I've been reading for when this fluffy monster pictured (<i>Tiger Lily</i>) shows up and starts miaowing at me. If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/izzymariehill">Insta</a>, then you'll know she features heavily in my stories, cause she's just SO darn cute! It's actually been proven that cuddling an animal releases endorphins too, so all the more reason to find a little furry friend to snuggle up with!</div>

<u><b>Let's Get Muddy!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> Not actual Mud. Mud masks! </i>I absolutely love treating my skin to a face mask but I feel like I never have the time to actually do them?! The second I know I've got a lazy day coming up, I'll be planning which products I'm gonna pamper myself with, and a mask is always top of my list! I have an unnecessary amount of face masks in my skincare collection but I still keep going back to this <a href="https://www.my7thheaven.com/product/dead-sea-mud-pac/">Dead Sea Mud</a> mask from <a href="https://www.my7thheaven.com/">7th Heaven at Montagne Jeunesse</a>. It really draws out the impurities in my pores whilst being so calming and cooling on the skin, and taking it off isn't a chore like <b>some</b> face masks! Plus it's cruelty free and really affordable! I have a post on my top face masks depending on your skincare needs featuring another of my faves from 7th Heaven, and a few other brands!

Hey lovers, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Valentines Day is almost upon us, <i>and as I'm eternally single</i>, I'll be spending it by continuing on the Pancake Day celebrations with my gals. (<i>Cause lets be real, Pancakes beat boys any day of the week</i>). If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/izzymariehill/">Instagram</a>, you'll know I already had an early Galentines date with one of my long time besties, Hemma. We drank lots of yummy wine, ate <b>far </b>too much food, and she (<i>being the excellent best friend she is</i>) took a few snaps of me in this cute little combo from Boohoo!</div>

As we all know by now<i> </i>(<i>and if you don't then <a href="http://www.adoseofchatter.com/2018/02/dare-to-flare-ootd.html">check my last OOTD</a></i>), I <b>love </b>a bodysuit as much as the next girl, so when I had the opportunity to style up a date night outfit, this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/xLhL">gorgeous little stripy number</a> was top of my list. I knew I wanted to have a pop of red in the outfit (<i>as red is synonymous with V Day</i>) and I loved the stripes on this, plus it's long sleeved, so perfect for this time of year! This <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/xLhP">vegan leather skirt</a> is also going to become my new go-to cause it's so flattering, and I love the tie and lace trim detail!<br />

<br />
Also how adorable are these gold hoop earrings? The little heart detail makes them extra cute and perfect to finish off this look. I felt it was necessary to get a little pic of me in my natural habitat - <i>AKA glass of red wine in hand</i> - also because I wanted to mention my favourite wine bar, Veeno! I've been several times before, once for their <a href="http://www.theveenocompany.com/wine-tasting/">Selezione Wine Tasting</a> which was absolutely amazing; and it's always my port of call when I fancy a civilised (<i>ish</i>) glass or three of wine.<br />

<br />
After our cheeky tipple at Veeno, Hemma and I headed over to San Carlo, who've recently launched a new tapas-style menu (<i>which was delicious FYI</i>). We had such a lovely evening eating <b>all</b> <b>the food</b>, gossiping and laughing about absolutely everything; and being served by our two waiters who I can only describe as the Chuckle Brothers of Italy!<br />
<br />
As I found it <u>nearly impossible</u> to pick just one gorgeous outfit from the Boohoo website, I thought it would be fun to select a few of my faves to give you guys some inspiration! Whether you're planning on having a cosy night in with your other half, or a cute date night with your fave girls, I've got you covered!!! (<i>And if not, then just <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/womens/lingerie">have a look for yourselves</a>!</i>)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
How are we all? I must say I was feeling pretty worse for wear when I took these photos, but this photoshoot with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lhfilmsandphotos/">Leah</a> was SO much fun that it instantly healed my <i>self inflicted</i> hangover wounds. She's looking for more bloggers to photograph too, and she's such a lovely girl <b>and</b> a gorgeous mumma to be! She'd researched all the pretty locations ahead of our shoot and I'm so happy with the street-style vibe we got with the photos!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a fiend for anything khaki (<i>and also quite the fiend for a bodysuit too</i>) so when I saw this cute khaki flared sleeve bodysuit on the <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb" rel="nofollow">Tobi</a> website, you bet your bottom dollar it went straight in my basket. I've been loving the whole sports luxe vibe lately too, so I paired it with my ride or die culottes from Urban Outfitters. I <b>was</b> gonna wear trainers, but I just love a heeled boot far too much, and I thought these added a fun 80's twist.<br />

I'm also not (<i>and quite frankly never want to be</i>) over the furry bag trend so I grabbed this gorgeous thing from Next to finish off the outfit. FYI this doubles up as the cosiest pillow when you're on an uncomfortable train ride home and you're V sleepy. <i>As I was that day...</i><br />

I just love these flared sleeves on the bodysuit, they give it a really cool edge and cause the material is such a lovely thick quality, they're not flimsy in the slightest. If you checked out my last <a href="http://www.adoseofchatter.com/2018/01/another-day-another-car-park-ootd-with.html">OOTD post featuring Tobi</a> you'll know I mentioned how impressed I was with the company and the quality of their products.

These sunnies from Flame Lily also <b>had</b> to make an appearance. Obviously they're super cool but I also feel like they're an instant confidence booster when you're on a photoshoot. It was quite a busy Sunday when we took these photos and there were so many perplexed people giving us really inquisitive looks while I was posing away in front of this blue door!

Hey angels, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here with a post about weight loss today. I feel like it's been a bit of a contentious issue on the web recently, and while I do understand the reasoning, at the end of the day if someone wants to lose a couple of pounds (<i>or a couple stone for that matter</i>) then quite frankly that's their prerogative. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Insert sassy Britney Spears gif here...</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<b><i> </i></b>Anyway. I was recently given the opportunity to test out a two week plan from Shake That Weight, and after a little research on the brand and the products I'd be consuming over the two week period I said YES YES YES and signed myself up to the plan.</div>

First things first I'll start by answering 3 questions you're probably all wanting to know:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><i>1. What is Shake That Weight?</i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><i>2. Does it work?</i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><i>3. <b>How</b> does it work?</i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Shake That Weight is a low calorie diet plan for men and women who want to lose weight. There are a couple of different plans to choose from, I went for the Woman with Meal Plan, which lasts two weeks and involves consuming a total of 800 calories per day. These calories come from 3 Shake That Weight products and one 400 calorie self-cooked meal.<br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. I've now completed one week out of the two, and I've lost 5lbs. (<i>And I must say I'm pretty damn chuffed with that.</i>) I've not once been hungry or had a stomach rumble, and although I've cheated a <b>couple of times</b> and had a crisp or two when I thought nobody was looking, (<i>they were looking</i>) for the most part I've found the plan really easy to stick to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Because you're eating pre-prepared products for the majority of the day, there's less temptation to go to the cupboard and eat something naughty in my opinion, but also, the products are packed with SO much protein, they genuinely do keep you full!<br />

<br />
So far, I'm loving how much variety and flavour there is across the <a href="https://www.shakethatweight.co.uk/">Shake That Weight</a> product range. With the 'Woman With Meal' plan I had to pick out 42(!) "meals' off the website. I did at first get a little click happy and was just picking <b>absolutely everything </b>for my basket, but then I decided to get sensible and plan my meals out slightly more efficiently. (<i>I also consciously wanted to try as much as possible so I could accurately tell you guys what you should <b>and shouldn't </b>pick for yourself!</i>)<br />

I'll be doing a full review in a couple of weeks time with my final weigh in, and a more in depth look at each of the products but so far, my favourites are:<br />
<br />
<i><b>Lively Latte Shake</b> - The perfect chilled coffee for mid mornings, I'll be stocking up on this!</i><br />
<i><b>Strawberry Passion Shake</b> - Absolutely delicious, ALL of my friends agreed with me!</i><br />
<i> <b>Cheeky Chicken Curry Noodles</b> - Essentially a posh (and healthy) pot noodle, and I loved it.</i><br />
<i><b>Chocolate Porridge</b> - The original porridge was already yummy, but the chocolate just brought this one up a notch.</i><br />
<br />

So my lovelies, check back in 2 weeks time for my full review, where I talk you through a typical day on the plan; run you through each of the product categories and list my faves (<i>and not faves</i>) from each! Oh and of course I'll discuss my final thoughts on the plan, AND tell you how much weight I lost!<br />

Hey lovelies, </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oasis has been a brand I've admired for years, I remember being little and getting so excited when my mum wanted to shop in there, cause it meant I got to look at (<i>and dream of owning</i>) all their pretty dresses. Ten years on they're still the first shop that springs to mind when I need to find an occasion dress - be it for a night at the theatre, a family birthday, afternoon tea at Betty's... </div>

I recently got the opportunity to choose a few of my favourite Oasis pieces to feature on my blog, (<i>which I was practically squealing with excitemement about FYI</i>) so <b>obviously</b> the first thing I went for was a tea dress. I fell in love with the print on this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/wokX">Oasis Ditsy Tea Dress</a> the second I saw it on the website. (<i>Insert "That's going straight in my basket" vine here</i>).<br />

Like everyone I'm sure, I get body conscious from time to time, but this dress honestly makes me feel <b>so good</b> whenever I wear it. The fluted sleeves, high waist and the gorgeous frills on the skirt are <u>so</u> flattering in my opinion, and it just makes me feel so cute and feminine. I can't wait till the weather gets a little warmer so I can wear this with bare legs, but I'm actually loving how it looks with tights and black accessories.<br />

I used to never think I'd be able to rock a stiletto heel during the day, but <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/woGn">these bad boys from Next</a> are SO flipping comfortable, and I just love how they edge up a look! (<i>Pretty sure "edge up" is not a phrase but let's just go with it</i>) I wore them to a recent event with Next from 7am-7pm and my feet by some miracle <b>actually didn't hurt</b>, so I strongly suggest you consider adding them to your collection. <br />

This bag is an oldie but a goodie. Back when I used to work for Aldo, I purchased <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/woII">this bag</a> (<i>with a very cheeky staff discount which I'm gutted I don't have access to anymore</i>) and I would get people coming up to me in the street asking where I'd bought it from, but sadly it sold out immediately. The clever beans at Aldo HQ recently decided to bring it back out cause it's still so popular so it's actually now available again!<br />

I have to give a shoutout to my gal Esme Louise and these <a href="http://shop.esmelouise.com/product/bar-drop">stunning earrings</a>.

Are you even a blogger if you see a cute door/house and <b>don't </b>take a picture next to it? <i>Nah, didn't think so. </i>These pics were all taken by my Northern bae, <a href="http://debrabow.com/">Debra Bow</a> when I went up to visit her recently in Doncaster. I'm so happy with the way they turned out, and I love the ones I took of her too, but bloody hell were we <u>absolutely frozen</u> when we finished. We actually went for food after and I didn't even get gin, I got coffee. (<i>Yes Izzy was that cold she passed up gin for a hot cup O' Joe.</i>)<br />

I'm absolutely loving the Spring/Summer 18 collection from Oasis. There are so many delicate florals and girlie sillhouettes, as well as some really fun knits and prints. Definitely a brand you should be taking a look at, plus the prices are great for the amazing quality of products you're getting too. There's a couple more posts coming from me featuring <a href="http://www.oasis-stores.com/gb/home">Oasis</a>, so keep your eyes peeled!</div>

Hey lovelies,</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back with another fashion post! <i>Yaaaaaaaaay! </i>Last week I was sent some cute AF pieces from <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb" rel="nofollow">Tobi</a> to style into killer outfits and feature on the blog, and I've been having so much fun shooting the images and putting the posts together so I really hope you enjoy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before you start asking, <i>"Who took these glorious photos Izzy?" </i>I have to give a <u>massive</u> shoutout to Tiff at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/creatiffmedia/">Creatiff Media</a>
for these beautiful pics. Obvs she's my bestie so I'm probably slightly
biased, but she's an amazing photographer and I've been loving all the
photos she's been taking of me! She's actually offering shoots now at a
really good rate, so I'd definitely get in quick <b>as she's getting booked up already!</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tobi is an online fashion retailer based in sunny LA, that stocks <b>so many </b>killer pieces. I'd been following them on Instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/shoptobi/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">@shoptobi</a>) for a while but I'd never ordered anything as I'd assumed I'd be paying ridiculous amounts in customs, duty and delivery fees. <i>BOY WAS I WRONG.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b> </b></i>When one of the lovely guys at Tobi got in contact with me to discuss a collaboration, I started looking into the website and they actually offer free shipping to the UK including all VAT and Duties prepaid! (<i>Sorry in advance for any damage you do to your bank accounts now I've imparted that little gem of information</i>.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This <i><a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/dresses/sweater-dresses" rel="nofollow" target="">Sophia Wine Lace Up Sweater Dress</a> </i>was the first piece I fell in love with on the Tobi website. It's got that <b>off-duty cool</b> vibe about it, and it's the perfect piece to have in your wardrobe that you can just throw on, but still look sassy as hell! I absolutely love the lace up detailing on the front, and the fact that it's oversized makes it even more effortless to wear. (<i>Plus it hides ALL the food babies, so ya know, that's great too.</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I paired the dress with these gorgeous suede over the knee boots from Next, (<i>because it's still winter y'all and my poor legs need the warmth</i>!) but I love how it all looks together. When the weather starts to get a tad warmer, I'll definitely be throwing this on with some Vans or Adidas Gazelles too!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I really wanted to mention was about how <i>impressed</i> I was by the quality of the pieces I received, compared with many other online fashion brands. The '<a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/about" rel="nofollow">About</a>' section of their website shows how much care and thought goes into each piece, all the way from the design element, to the final item, so it's really nice to see that reflected in the quality of their clothing. It makes me want to support them far more than other online brands. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Fun fact: About 30 minutes after these photos were taken, Tiff and I headed off to Hot Pod Yoga with Bumble, organised by the babe that is <a href="http://www.jesswho.co.uk/">JessWhoBlog</a>. I'd done regular yoga before, I thought, what could be so different being a little warmer? Answer: A LOT of sweat. <i>I'm just so glad we had our photoshoot <b>before</b> we became the sweatiest messes the world had ever seen</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure to let me know if you make any cheeky purchases from Tobi, and don't forget to keep an eye out for more Tobi products on my blog over the next few weeks!</div>

VÖOST is actually a brand that hails from Down Under and after doing amazingly well over there, it's made its way to our side of the pond. (<i>Let's be real, if it's good enough for the golden goddesses that make up the majority of Australian women, then it's damn sure good enough for me!</i>) The idea for the brand came from a survey that said 35% of Australians couldn't swallow tablets, so were missing out on key nutrients. The clever guys at VÖOST then got their thinking hats on and started developing these ones, to make taking your vitamins easy AND yummy too!<br />

There are a variety of flavours in the range, from blood orange, to peach, to summer fruits! I actually think each and every one has a really pleasant taste and I've really been looking forward to drinking my vitamins every morning! (<i>That sounds really sad doesn't it...</i>) My dad actually has been drinking them when he thinks I'm not looking too, but I'm onto him!<br />
<br />
The full <a href="http://voostvitamins.co.uk/">VÖOST</a> range includes:<br />
<br />
<i><b>Calcium</b> - Essential for maintaining strong hair, teeth and bones</i><br />
<i><b>Vitamin C</b> - Aids Iron absorption, reduces fatigue and tireness</i> <br />
<i><b>Vitamin B Complex</b> - Aids the immune system and boosts metabolism </i><br />
<i><b>Multi Vitamins </b>- Contains 14 key vitamins and minerals</i><br />
<i><b>Vitamin D</b> - Promotes Calcium absorption, which keeps bones healthy</i><br />

They are all quite sweet, but there's actually no added sugar or sweetener in the tablets. The only sugar present derives from fruit powder which helps give the drinks some colour. I feel like this is really important too, cause often the more "fun" chewable vitamins that are on the market and aimed at younger children are <b>really</b> high in sugars, which doesn't make them particularly healthy! I think these are a great alternative as there are no naughty ingredients hidden behind the goodness!<br />

They're a really good size, so I've been keeping a couple of tubes of these in my drawer at work, and when I've been feeling a little lacklustre, I've dissolved one of these into my sippy cup full of water (<i>I know, so mature right?!</i>) and it just gives me a little bit of fizz back into my day!<br />
<br />
(<i>Fizz - see what I did there? Cause these are fizzy tablets?</i> <i>Ah give it a rest Izzy...</i>)<br />
<br />
I try to take Vitamin B12 fairly regularly as it's so important for a healthy immune system, but unfortunately I'm pretty darn useless at taking tablets. (<i>I can never remember if I've actually taken them or not!</i>) However since I've started taking VÖOST I've not forgotten once, cause I actually enjoy the process of sipping on the refreshing little lemon drink mid morning at work! <br />

I'll definitely be continuing to take the Vitamin D tablets throughout Winter and potentially Spring too, as like the majority of people I'm sure, having an office job and living in gloomy old England means we really don't get enough sun! So many people actually have <b><i>extremely low Vitamin D levels</i></b>, which is one of the most common contributors to Depression and Anxiety, and not enough of us realise the importance of Vitamin D for the body. <br />

Each tube of VÖOST comes with 10 tablets in and retails for £2.99 (<i>Although at the time this post went live, they'd gone down to <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/vpTU">£1.50 at Superdrug</a>!! But they're selling out so you better hurry!</i>) Regardless if you manage to bag these whilst they're on offer or not, I think they're a really reasonable price, and the choice of Vitamins - <b>and flavours</b> - on offer is the best I've seen compared to any other Vitamin brands out there.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was recently sent this beautiful faux fur coat by the <a href="https://www.cariscloset.ie/">Cari's Closet</a> team and I knew the second I opened it I'd be featuring it in a blog post cause it's just so darn cute! It's also potentially the softest, fluffiest thing I've ever owned too, therefore I'm obsessed.

Cari's Closet wasn't even a brand I'd heard of until they reached out to me (<i>yes, apparently I <b>have</b> been living under a rock</i>). I'm so glad they did though cause I've now got a wishlist down to my elbow of clothing I want from them, cause they stock so many gorgeous pieces! (<i>Although, I'm kind of on a spending ban, so I probably shouldn't be buying <strike>much</strike> anything for the foreseeable future)</i></div>

The coat has a really luxurious feel about it, so I wanted to pair it with classic pieces. I threw on this white chenille oversized knit from Lefties and tucked it into a black leather skirt from Zara. (<i>While we're on the subject of Lefties, they need to start shipping to the UK because I can't deal with bulk buying whenever I go to Portugal anymore</i>).</div>

I thought these cute ankle boots from Next would add a little glitz to the outfit (<i>Cause who doesn't love sparkle?!</i>) They're surprisingly comfortable and the statement heel is SO eyecatching. I kind of feel like these are the grown up version of those flashing trainers you had as a kid...<br />

I'm obsessed with how high quality this jacket looks and feels. It also <a href="https://www.cariscloset.ie/results.aspx?q=brooklyn%20faux%20fur">comes in black and grey</a>, and I was actually sooo tempted by the grey colour, so I could match with my icy hair, but I'm actually<b> so happy </b>I went for this colour, cause it's just that perfect neutral that will go with anything! (<i>Plus I'm low-key really pleased with how well the pics have turned out and I love how the coat looks against the amber leaves in the background. Credit where it's due to Dada Hill for these photos!</i>)</div>

A faux fur coat is such an essential piece for this time of year, cause it's cosy and cute! I've actually never owned one (<i>I know, I know, "but Izzy you're a shopping addict, how is that possible?</i>) so I'm so happy to have this one in my ever-growing collection of outerwear. Also, I've officially booked to go to Iceland next month, so I need to start thinking about what clothes to bring with me! This coat will <b>definitely</b> be making the cut. <br />

I had the most fun shooting the photos for this post so I hope you all love it as much as I do! I received this gorgeous watch a couple of weeks ago from <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#adoseofchatter">JORD Wood Watches</a> - a company I've followed and admired for a while cause of their creativity and uniqueness; so it was an absolute dream come true when they contacted me asking to collaborate on a blog post.

They kindly allowed me to pick out a watch of my choice, and I went for the <a href="https://www.jordwatches.com/series/frankie-35/zebrawood-and-navy/#adoseofchatter">Frankie 35 in Zebrawood and Navy</a> because it was just so striking. I opted for the 35 series because they're slightly more petite, and I didn't want the watch to look too chunky on my small wrists. </div>

I was a bundle of excitement whilst waiting the week it took to ship all the way from the States, (<i>from which they offer free worldwide delivery</i> <i>FYI</i>) and it absolutely did not disappoint when it arrived. The silver hands are so stunning against the Sapphire crystal glass, and I love the print of the Zebrawood, it really catches the light beautifully.</div>

I also love the gorgeous wooden box and hessian pillow the watch arrives in. The concept of wooden watches is so cool and unique so it's great that they kept to the wooden theme with the packaging too. JORD have so many amazing watches for both <a href="https://www.jordwatches.com/shop/men/#adoseofchatter">men</a> and <a href="https://www.jordwatches.com/shop/women/#adoseofchatter">women</a>, some more subtle like the walnut and ebony, if you didn't want the wood grain to be as prominent; and some really edgy, vibrant options too! Taking a quick look through their <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jordwatches/">Instagram feed</a> is a drool fest - <i>I wanted about 7 different watches after my first insta-stalk! </i></div>

I felt that my Burberry Trench coat was the perfect piece to wear with my JORD watch, because of it's classic colour, and sharp, tailored features. Although this is very much a statement watch, I still think it's so wearable, and I can't tell you how many compliments I've had in the few days I've been wearing it.</div>

The sizing was perfect and also a really easy process (<i>Thank goodness - cause the pressure of having to get it right first time was a bit daunting to be honest!</i>) They ask you to take a fabric measuring tape (OR print one off using their clever scaling guide) and measure your wrist to the nearest quarter centimetre. I added on an extra quarter to be on the safe side but the watch does actually come with extra links if you did wish to alter the size. </div>

Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad and Happy Holidays1 I Hope you all had the best Christmas day, full of far too much food (<i>and alcohol</i>), lots of lovely presents, and happy times with your loved ones. Since I'm still feeling pretty festive, I thought I'd show you one of the Christmas releases from <a href="http://www.bourjois.co.uk/">Bourjois</a>, that I was very kindly sent from Influenster earlier this month.</div>

So this is actually my first Influenster box, I've not long been signed up on the app so it was all very exciting when this bright fuschia parcel landed on my doorstep. Obviously we're not required to review the products we receive on blogs or social media, but I've actually been <b>loving</b> the products and wanted to share my first impressions with you all!<br />

When Bourjois re-formulated and relaunched the <a href="http://www.boots.com/bourjois-healthy-mix-foundation-10226173">Healthy Mix foundation</a> at the start of the year, I pretty much did a hop, skip and a jump into my nearest Boots to pick it up! I wasn't at all disappointed in it, and it quickly became one of my favourite drugstore foundations. As I've only been on short breaks this year (<i>not complaining I swear - I've definitely done my fair share of holidaying!</i>) my skin has got slightly paler so the shade I had was too dark for me. Luckily the Influenster team sent me the perfect shade for my skin right now, which is 51 Light Vanilla so I've been rocking that naturally dewy look this past couple of weeks. I've probably had the most compliments on my skin whilst wearing the Healthy Mix foundation and concealer too!<br />

The Healthy Mix Concealer is also really lovely too. It does a great job of brightening up the eye area with it's anti-fatigue properties, and it smells <b>delicious</b>. It's not got as much coverage as my Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer, but it still packs a punch, and has great lasting power. It's definitely not got enough pigmentation to spot conceal, but that's not something I have too much trouble with anyway! (<i>Thank the lord for Roaccutane!</i>)<br />

Now lets talk about the main event - these stunning Metallic Lip Creams. For so long I've been waiting for a high street/drugstore brand to come out with something like this, because my poor, poor lips cannot stand liquid lipsticks at this time of year (<i>cause they're so flipping drying!</i>). The only similar products on the market are the Jouer Lip Toppers and the two bronze shades I have here are almost dupes for Tan Lines & Rose Gold, and half the price! <br />

Trying to get the perfect swatch photo can be a huge pain in one's derrière for many reasons; it's a nightmare getting the swatches to look uniform, or some of the colours are less pigmented than others, the colours bleed after sitting on the skin - the list goes on. These swatches were <b>so easy</b> because the doefoot applicator was really precise, the consistency of all three colours were so creamy and amazingly pigmented in one swipe, AND they didn't set in place too quickly when I did make a little booboo! The same applies to when I tried the products on my lips, they didn't settle into my fine lines and were just so ridiculously easy to apply.<br />

I actually used all of my Bourjois Makeup for my Christmas day face, and really loved how it all looked. I popped a little of the violet shade from the eyeshadow palette under my eyes and used the iridescent purple glitter for my inner corners. The mascara was nice enough and didn't clump on me at all - <i>something I usually do have a problem with </i>- but I ended up throwing some falsies from <a href="http://killinitcosmetics.com/">Killin it Cosmetics</a>, just for some extra drama. (<i>Cause if you can't go OTT at Christmas, when can you?!</i>) I couldn't decide which lip shade I preferred out of the Metallic Lip Creams so I ended up mixing a little of 300 and 100!<br />

So there's my finished Christmas look and a little review of the Bourjois Influenster VoxBox. Have you tried anything from <a href="http://www.boots.com/bourjois">Bourjois </a>recently? I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break and got some lovely prezzies! If you did want me to do a 'What I Got For Christmas' blog post, do let me know <3<br />
