Happy Australia Day!! What better day to write this post about these amazing new boots. Hands up who else is majorly fed up of this freezing cold weather we are having of late? I am thinking of nothing but summer and planning my getaways to my little Greek island over the next few months. Anyway back to the post…these are absolute lifesavers and I am incredibly happy that Ozalia got in touch with me and let me give their cozy boots a spin. These aren’t your standard winter boots either, read on to find out why.

Sugar Dumplin Caribbean // Surrey

November 3, 2016April 5, 2017 gillianleeroseLeave a comment

I recently got the opportunity to head along to The Atrium in Camberley, Surrey to try out their latest addition to the Rolodex of eateries they boast. This time round it was Sugar Dumplin – a Caribbean and rum restaurant. As we arrived and headed towards the sound of steel drums from inside I was instantly transported to warmer climates by this wonderful sound and the outside decor. It was light and colourful as soon as you approached the entrance, on walking inside you were hit with an aroma of what can only be described as home cooking that came from the heart. We were greeted by the happy, bubbly staff and shown to our seats and offered cocktails which we let them choose for us on recommendation of their personal favourites.

Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium // London

November 2, 2016April 5, 2017 gillianleerose1 Comment

I was a very lucky girl last Christmas to receive an awesome gift from my sister and her husband, a visit to Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium! Now, if you don’t know me then you may wonder why this is especially awesome….if you do know me then you will totally understand. For all those not in the know, my name is Gillian and I am a crazy cat lady through and through. This magical feline Narnia is situated just off Brick Lane on Bethnal green Road and in passing looks like any other London cafe. However, once through the magic door at the back of the cafe you become surrounded in stuff cat dreams are made of!

Garment Quarter Wishlist

May 6, 2016May 6, 2016 gillianleerose1 Comment

All Items: Garment Quarter

Sunglasses: Ross & Brown £90

Bag: Paul Smith £142.50

I recently had a browse of all the new in gems at Garment Quarter and I had soon totted up a wishlist as long as my arm (easily done right?). Since there was so many items I was lusting after I decided to put together a wishlist of all the gorgeous SS16 pieces that I want for my summer get aways. I could have spent an absolute fortune so my days will now be spent narrowing it down on what to go for because unfortunately I don’t have a bank balance to rival the Kardashians…….*sob*Read More »

The Boyfriend Shirt

Shirt: Gant* | Jeans: Topshop | Shoes: Topshop (similar)| Bra: ASOS

Every girl needs a boyfriend shirt in their catalogue of clothes. It is an essential staple item and something you can throw on and really never go wrong with. They are comfortable and stylish which makes for a winning combo in my books. This shirt is from the new Gant Rugged collection and it’s gone straight to the top of my favourites out of the many many striped shirts I own. It’s a really breathable material and the oversized fit gives you a cool boyish edge which I have given a girly twist here by wearing a lacey peach harness bra underneath.

Not to be totally British or anything but what is with this weather at the moment?! It’s so erratic which makes dressing to leave the house a bit of a guessing game. We have had a few pleasant days and digging out the sunnies has made me extremely happy and oh so ready for summer to get it’s butt here pronto. From someone that lived in Greece for 6 years and wearing them every day without fail I sure have missed them. I treated myself recently to this rose tinted pair of beauties from Ray Ban (via ASOS).

Lounge Sundays

Underwear set: Lounge Underwear

I recently got this really cute underwear set from the lovely people over at Lounge Underwear. It is the most comfortable set I have owned in forever! They are available in 3 colours; white, black and grey. You can also get the bottoms in either briefs or thong style. They are the perfect sets to laze about in on a Sunday spent in bed catching up on the week’s TV. I already mentioned it but they really are super comfy which makes them all the more appealing for lounging around in, hence the name. I will definitely be getting the other two sets as they are perfect for everyday wear and you can then mix and match the colours up too.

If you can’t fork out for the not so ‘purse friendly’ CK sets then these are the best alternative out there. The bra doesn’t have a clasp and just goes over your head, it has adjustable straps you can lengthen or shorten. The band is a soft stretch material which means it doesn’t dig in. The sizes come in S, M & L and the site gives you a helpful size chart to pick the best suited size for you. They also have a live chat available should you need any questions answered. Click read more to see more pics of the gorgeous set.

You will have probably seen harness bralets all over the high street lately. I have been looking for some cute ones but they seem to be constantly sold out! I did manage to nab this one though and it’s a winner. It’s a bit more 50 shades than most of the more simple versions I’ve seen around but sometimes you’ve just got to bring your inner prowess out. It is actually shown online as more of a top to wear with skirts, high waist jeans etc but unless I have abs like Jenna Dewan-Tatum in the next two months then that won’t be happening!
