When it comes to the in-store experience, I am not a sale shopper. I find the jumbled racks of clashing colours too overwhelming, and don't have sharp enough elbows to compete with the hardcore sale pros! The dawn of online shopping, however, has meant wusses like me now have a chance of a bargain without the bruises (both physical and emotional!). 

The ASOS post-Christmas sale is always a winner, and my usual holiday blowout was inevitable. Here are my favorite picks!

I have spent the last week in Cape Town! 

I am lucky enough to work on swimwear photoshoots as part of my job and so spent the week at the most gorgeous beaches and location houses. I totally fell in love with the place, Cape Town has totally charmed me! I now cannot wait to return on holiday sometime very soon!

Beauty // Bleach London Silver Shampoo + Reincarnation Mask Review

Bleach London Silver Shampoo + Reincarnation Mask Review

I have been having my hair coloured by Bleach London for years, and so when they launched their range in Boots et al earlier this year, I've been meaning to give it a try. 

The first products I've picked up are the Silver Shampoo and the Reincarnation Mask. Being a brunette I have never had a need for a silver shampoo before, but after my most recent colour over 50% of my hair is now blond - so it seemed essential! While I do like this shampoo - it smells lovely and leaves my hair clean and soft - I can't say I've noticed a particular change in my blond. So on the fence with this one for now, I need to have a break from it for a week or two to see if I notice brassiness returning. 

However, the Reincarnation Mask. Wow. This is my hair savior! I absolutely love this product. I HATE getting my hair cut and only ever have the bare-minimum snipped so it often feels dry and course as it's in such bad condition (oops). After three uses of this mask, my hair feels completely rejuvenated. It's sleeker and shiny-er than it's been in years, and I don't feel that my recent bleaching has trashed it at all! I love it - a repurchase for sure.

NEW // The White Company Knitwear



I love everything to do with The White Company - and have been coveting this long, soft grey mark knit for a while. When I happened to go in on Black Friday (ew - an Americanism I usually can't stand, making this exception where divine merino wool is at stake) and the much-more-delightfully named White Weekend was in full force with 20% off everything, I had to snap it up! Love.
