Test

Two years ago I bought a lovely autumn/winter skirt from Miss Selfridge. The problem I always had was how to wear and style it. When I went to London earlier this month, I found a cosy wooly loop scarf in Topshop which has a similar pattern as my skirt. I combined them and I think they go really well together. What do you think? I’m wearing: Loop Scarf: Topshop (current winter season 2014, £18) Cognac Leather Boots: Clarks (winter season 2008/2009 £100) Aztec Skirt: Miss Selfridge (season 2012, £25) Cognac Blanket Wrap with Belt: Stradivarius (current season 2014, £15.99) Black Body: Miss Selfridge (season 2012, £18) Bracelets: Schmuckrausch (current season 3.50 € each*) Till next time and let me know what you think about the outfit :) xx CAZ xx | bloglovin  |  Twitter | *PR sample

I've been very busy recently planning my move but I've managed to get some time off last Thursday to make my way over to the Bullring in Birmingham for Smiggle’s new flagship opening. I was kindly invited by the stationery brand to celebrate the opening along other bloggers and to find out about their Christmas range. |About Smiggle| Australian brand Smiggle has made people ‘smile’ and ‘giggle’ since 2003. It is owned by Just Group, a fashion and apparel retailer, and sells colourful, fashionable and fun stationery. Alisa, regional manager who looks after the UK roll out, told me that there are 170 stores across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. The brand decided to approach the European market before America, as there is more potential to be established. 2014 has been Smiggle's year to conquer Europe with the opening of 16 stores in the UK. Bristol and Solihull were opened in the last six weeks and there are two more to come to Derby and London before Christmas, plus t

I look meticulously after my hair which is, luckily, healthy and I barely had any issues with it. To keep its healthy condition, it is important to me that the products I'm using are natural and free from any silicones. I've recently come across  Alchemy Oils Grapefruit Hair Remedy *, which is made of a blend of five oils including coconut, avocado, almond and castor oils to promote growth, thicken hair and impart a shine. The fifth oil is a citrusy scented grapefruit oil that fights dandruff and further contributes to a healthy end result. I was kindly sent a bottle to try and test the remedy and here's what I thought. |Tried & Tested: Here's What I Thought| The vintage styled glass bottle is modern and comes with a wooden cap. It reminds me of bottles used by alchemists in the 18/19th century which reflects the brand’s name and is a wonderful thought, that the brand has brought in here. The cap is solid and seals the bottle perfectly. You can see the shiny, amber

OMG it is already November, meaning there's a big mark on my calendar to remind me to get the December issue of  Glamour , which comes, as every year, with a fantastic freebie from  Nails Inc . You can collect four different full-sized bottles of Britain's well-known nail polish brand, plus there are other goodies in the magazine to get you into the Christmas shopping and gifting mood. Goes without saying that I bought Glamour straight away when it came out on the 3rd November. |Pro's| Where there's nail polish involved, there's me. My eyes literally grew bigger and bigger when Glamour revealed a sneak peek of the shades in the previous issue and I wasn't disappointed when I got my copy of the magazine. All colours seem to be decent this year. In previous issues it was a bit hit and miss. Some colours were either very runny or didn't cover very well. So this year you have the choice to get Nails Inc Tate a fawny tone, Wigmore Street autumn's on trend nav

Most films this year have been average and rather disappointing. To me, there were only a handful of films that really stood out:  The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet , Begin Again and The Maze Runner, the dramatic adaptation of bestselling author James Dashner YA novel. The latest really thrilled me and got my attention in every second. I was craving for information in every minute of the film and needed to know answers to what was going on. The 2h running time went by so fast and though the story was somehow closed in itself, it left room for some interpretation and you could tell that there will be a second film following. Of course I'm an impatient Germ, so when I got back home after seeing the film, I ordered the first book straight away. It took me a while to finish it, as the narrative and writing style is a bit different to the film and there are some deviations to the adaption. Can you really compare a book to its adaptation? Yes you can, though I appreciate both mediums

How are you doing? I hope you had a great week so far and are looking forward to the weekend. My week started brilliantly as I was invited to attend the Bloggers Love Hub in London. Every Monday in November, Bloggers Love will hold a blogging event where you can network with other bloggers and meet interesting fashion and beauty brands. The event took place at Mahiki bar and night club in Dover Street (yes, the Victoria Beckham store is just down the road!). |Bloggers Love Hub At Mahiki Night Club| Bloggers Love regularly organise blogging events and this one was my first with them. At each event there will be a different mix of fashion and beauty brands. Some events will include a fashion show or a gifting lounge and several brands will be there which will give you the chance to speak directly to the founders and learn about their unusual products. The event on Monday started at 4pm and there was a great atmosphere when I arrived. The Mahiki Night Club was decorated nicely, bloggers w

There are so many nice colours available on the High Street at the moment that I couldn't resist, when the lovely PR ladies over at  Binky London  reached out to me last week and asked me if I fancy to check out their new AW 14/15 collection. |So Here's What I Thought...| Having used and reviewed Binky’s sparkly Gold Rush* in three top colours for summer  post, and being very pleased with it, I had high expectations on this one. Luckily, I wasn't disappointed. I was very delighted when I received a bottle of Mocha Gel* from the brands' new collection which is officially out tomorrow. The collection features dark colours and I particularly like the cobalt blue and the Mocha one, which I’m going to tell you all about. The colour in the bottle looks different to when you actually apply it to your nails. It looks very nice on the nails and I would describe the tone as a milk chocolate one. The polish has a creamy texture. It is easy to apply and the brush runs smoothly over
