Pushing past the pain

Hey guys, so I haven't done an anxiety post in a while so today is the day. It's not a depressing one just a few tips and an update on my 'journey'. If you suffer with anxiety, depression, panic attacks or agoraphobia then you know it's always on your mind; trying to work around it and avoid certain places or people. I'm the main advertisement for that situation until about three weeks ago when I realised I need to feel shit to get better. Let me explain; lets say I decided to go somewhere that made me feel safe...great, I've got out the house and that is an achievement in itself but what did I actually achieve? I wasn't nervous, I felt safe, I didn't feel uncomfortable so how has that really helped me? Honestly, it probably didn't. Over the last three weeks I have been determined to step out of my comfort zone and do something that scares me everyday. I'm not talking about jumping out of a plane or climbing a mountain but going on that walk that panics you or going back to that place you had a panic attack. Don't make excuses anymore and just do it. The more you put yourself in uncomfortable situations the quicker your anxiety will do one. You have to accept that the situation your scared of will scare you but once you've done it you will feel bloody amazing. Push past the pain.

All my love,

Wolford Collaboration







Wolford clothing is a favourite with celebrities such as Rihanna, Heidi Klum and the Kardashian sisters and it's understandable why when you see their luxurious brand of hosiery, tights, bodysuits, lingerie, underwear, shapewear and innovative clothing.

I was lucky enough to be sent one of their beautiful pieces and I'm finding it very hard to find a bad word to say about this incredible dress. If you follow me you know I'm not super body confident but with the shape wear and seamless technology brought into this dress it really gave me a whole new love for my curves. I absolutely love the cut and colour as it's super versatile and can be both a great Summer or Autumn piece depending on what you dress it with. The thick Nylon/Elastic material makes this piece oober comfortable and is a sure fire way of sucklng you in and smoothing out your curves or annoying lumbs and bumps.

Wolford pieces are very pricey but they are awesome quality that will last you a very long time. Their pieces are feminine, classy and effortless; there's not much more you could ask for. They are 100% worth the investment and I can't wait to see how they carry out growing. Check out their store below, I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

Big thank you to Kerri and Heather for this beauty.

All my love,

Floral Dream




There's nothing better than a brand new bottle of perfume to brighten your day but sometimes you don't have to go super high end to get your daily spritz. Don't get me wrong I have a draw full of Calvin Klein, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs and Chanel but saying that I am a massive sucker 'cheap' perfume. A lot of people tend to stear away from cheap perfume because it's cheap but there are so many cheaper perfumes out there that are far too under rated. Next are one example that absolutely smash leading perfume retailers with their fragrances. 

As you can see I'm talking about Adidas perfume...yes Adidas do perfume and it smells amazing. While on holiday a few years ago I came across this perfume. I mainly tried it as I was curious of the smell as Adidas is obviously a sports brand so if I'm honest I wasn't expecting much. I was very much mistaken. If you follow me you know I'm a massive fan of Bergamot and funnily enough Bergamot is in this perfume which makes it a really relaxing and fresh fragrant. The top note you get with this perfume is definitely Bergamot but you also get beautiful notes of rose, lily and a base of vanilla. Not only is this a great smell but it honestly lasts all day, it's awesome perfume to carry around with you all day and you can't go wrong with a 75ml bottle for only a tenner. Go and check it out and don't be afraid to not spend tonnes of money.

Motel Rocks in Marbella







So FINALLY at long last, I'm back (Celebration emoji). It's been a shitty couple of months but I'm ready to get back straight back into the blogging jobby so let's get started. Sadly I'm not in Marbella anymore but I thought I'd bring some sunshine into our Monday afternoon. 

There's nothing like a pretty summer dress and in my mind no one does it better than Motel Rocks. Their edgy and stylish designs speak volumes and definitely don't need dressing up much. A floaty floral dress is timeless and always great for summer and dressing up for an evening. I have a few Motel Rocks dresses with a similar cut with a loose fitted waist; I'm the first to admit that this shape isn't the best for my shape as it does just drop down from your boobs and will make you look bigger than you are but if you don't really care like me then it doesn't matter. There's nothing worse than a clingy, thick fabric dress in the summer and Motel definitely offer an incredible range of beautiful silky/slinky patterned dresses to keep you cool.

If you aren't one for accessorising then a bold floral summer dress is the one for you as you can just let the dress do the talking. Teamed with a cute pair of gladiator sandals, mirrored sunglasses and tassled handbag you have a perfect and very easy all day summer look. Don't be affaid to stand out and be comfortable. Head over to Motel now and check out what you like here
