2015 - Did I succeed?

I can't believe 2015 is almost over! At the beginning of the year I wrote down 9 goals I wanted to achieve, so here's a quick review of how I've done this year.

Get a better job ✓ This was one of the main goals I really wanted to achieve in 2015. I am so happy I did it!
Continue my Russian studies ✗ I didn't realise how having a full time job would leave me with so little time to do anything else. I haven't had the chance to continue my studies at college but I have been trying to learn more on my own.
Spend more time with my friends and family ✓ I spent such a great week in Estonia with my family and also had the chance to catch up with some old friends. Tristan and I also kept in contact with both sides of our families and talked with them almost every day.
Eat healthy ✓ ✗ I've been eating quite healthily throughout the year and have made improvements but I know I can do better.
Get fit ✓ ✗ I've been exercising as often as I can but have also noticed that with the days getting shorter I have lost my motivation. I joined a gym this Autumn and am trying my hardest to find the time to work out.
Take a trip to America ✗ I didn't manage to visit America but I still had the chance to travel to a few new places in 2015.
Save money ✓ I've done much better than I thought I would. Tristan and I have made a couple of plans for the future and I am excited to start saving money properly!
Be more organised and productive ✓ Keeping a diary, making lists and having a calendar have made my life so much more organised. Every Sunday or Monday I am planning my week and writing down little tasks. I never thought that having a notebook would help me to become more productive.
Blog more ✓ ✗ Sadly, I haven't been blogging as much I would have liked. I've been working more on the appearance of my blog lately and after some help from Tristan it looks much more professional!

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck. My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair. Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
