I've been using the @iliabeauty Super Serum Skin Tint for over 12months now and I love it.
It the perfect mix of skincare,  Sunscreen & Tint especially for my 42 year old skin! 

@iliabeauty recently launched additional shades to both their Skin Tint & Super Serum shade ranges which I couldn't be happier about. 
They sent me a couple to try out & here I'm wearing Shade Bon Bon in the Tint and Mallow in the Concealer. 
They match my undertones perfectly and don't even make me look like I'm wearing makeup which I love!
The staying power is brilliant, lasts all day & doesn't transfer all over your clothing. 

I definitely want to try more from @iliabeauty 
Have you tried anything from their range yet?

Do you have a favourite scent? 
Since working with @storiesparfums they have become my go to fragrance everyday.
I reach for Stories 1 more than 2 daily purely because I feel 2 is more of a Sensual, Special scent for me. This is the one I'll reach for when I finally get dressed up and go out after lockdown.

Its been a while since I've actually Read, like picked a book up, felt the pages, taken a moment to just breathe...

I don't talk about myself & my personal life much but I want to share more...

I had the Vaccine yesterday and with it came a huge mix of relief, joy, hope & nervousness.

When you live with a Disease like SLE, and take  medications to suppress your immune system everyday,  anything that affects your antibodies or immune system is a big issue. 
Having been shielding since this pretty much began last February, the Vaccine has felt like a welcome milestone. 
I am hugely grateful for having had my first injection but I'm also wiped out! 
I can feel my body fighting against itself, everything is on...

SLE causes your body to attack its own cells and internal organs which is why you need Immunosuppressive Drugs to help switch off those cells as much as possible. This gives your body a break, but opens you up to infection - and these drugs don't exactly come without side effects! 
This mixture of disease involvement & side effects is why I often need my stick or wheelchair for getting around. I've had Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement for over 15yrs.

Having the Vaccine gives your body a boost to produce a massive dose of Antibodies to kick-start your Immune System to help fight any COVID cells that might appear.. but in my case, my disease wants to overreact, and attack infected & healthy cells too, so I now have my daily drugs suppressing & fighting against the vaccine & my disease... who knows what will happen...?

Still no regrets for having the vaccine, I know what will happen without it.

When I first saw this Jacket at @oddmolly it gave me old school Chanel vibes straight away! 
I knew this would be part of my next PR/AD with them.
The close-knit run detailing and the B/W contrast on the jacket makes it stand out in the best way.
I know this will be one of the best additions to my wardrobe and can't wait to see just how many looks I can create with it. 

Have you been inspired by any Designer looks recently? 
I'd love to know who?
I'm obsessed with this 100% Wool Fedora from @mintvelvet and as its #madeintheuk day & with yesterday being #iwd I thought I would celebrate one of my favourite Female Founded Brands.

I have bought my clothes from MV for years now, purely because they offer me everything I need & ask for from a company. 
Their clothing is beautifully made, lasts forever, washes like a dream and I find the fit of their garments perfect.
I'm a Mum at the end of the day, this body has not just seen wars is been in full on Ambushes! That's the only way to describe pregnancy & childbirth 🤦‍♀️😂
So your body changes, your thighs are different size to your hips, which are totally different to your waist which has nothing to do with your bum! I don't think they belong in the same solar system.. 
So its great when you find brands that account for actual shape, plus my size fluctuates because of swelling so I need good quality, soft fabrics that will stay comfortable during my many transitions. 

If you've tried MV I'd love to know your experience, if your looking and have questions reach out my DM's are always open x
As its #iwd2021 I want to support one of the most incredible Women out there who has supported me consistently since we first met.
She is a fellow Scot, an incredible designer, one of the nicest women you'll ever meet and her style is on another level. 
Hayley from @hayleymcsporranstudio deserves a wee follow and when your looking for that extra piece for your wardrobe check out her designs. 

The white minimalist Crossbody Bag is one of my most used pieces & I'm lucky enough to have 2! This is the newest design - with Black strap, a gorgeous addition!

Don't dismiss the importance of the Perfect pair of trousers. 
I've worn this pair from @palonesofficial continuously ever since the brand gifted them to me. 

Black trousers play a massive part in my wardrobe, they're like that trusty old friend. Always there when I don't have a clue what I'm doing, give me a quick solution when I need one, offer comfort at the most nerve-wracking times and always make me look good! 

Do you have a "go to" pair?
