On The Cuff: Stop Water From Running Down Your Arms!

Don't you just hate when you're washing your face at the sink, and the water's going everywhere? It's running down your arms, onto the counter, then dripping on the floor. It's like, damn - I just wanted to wash off my makeup...I didn't need a bath! After you finish cleaning your face, you end up having to clean up the entire bathroom. What a pain, right?

Well, if you can relate then read on...because I found a product that will keep your sleeves dry and your bathroom floor puddle-free. Add this to the "why didn't I think of that" list...

On the Cuff is a set of sponge bracelets that you wear on your wrists. When you're washing your face, instead of the water running down your arms, the sponges absorb the water. The cuffs are one size fits all, so they stretch to accommodate both men and women. When they get dirty, just rinse with warm soapy water, squeeze and allow to dry.


What's even better is that On The Cuff can also be used when washing the dishes, washing your car and cleaning the shower. The only thing I'd change about On The Cuff is the color. The industrial yellow sponge looked kinda cheap and lackluster against my cafe au lait skin. A pair in fuchsia or cerulean would be super chic.

On the Cuff comes in packs of 2 ($7.99) or 8 ($24.99). Both packs come in reusable mesh bags, and the larger pack even comes with a drying rack.

My Top 5 Fav Heels ♥

Hi All!!

Just a quick show and tell post of my top five favourite heels! So here we go.....


Studded Gladiator Heels
I was a big fan of the Dior gladiator heels Sarah Jessica Parker made so popular in the SATC Movie, but never found any that gave me the wow factor, until I saw these. Being someone who never shops in Next, I was shocked when I found these beauts and had to buy them. Only worn them once, but I do adore them.





Silver Stilleto Heels
These are by far a favourite of mine! Any outfit that requires silver heels... I wear these even though I own another silver pair. These used to be the highest heels I owned until recently, and are unfortunately the most uncomfortable by the end of the night! I love the snake skin detail and the soft bit that goes around the ankle. Their scuffed a bit now, shows just how much I wear them!






White Stiletto Heels
No matter how 'tacky' some people may think they are, I believe every girl should have at least one pair of white heels in there collection. Bought from my beloved Primark over two years ago they are another pair I wear alot. They are not too high and very comfy.... they are also the heels I met my fella in haha.


Nude Platform Heels
A one year anniversary gift from my fella.. I have to like these ;) Only joking, I love them! Myy first pair of nude heels and with the combination of a slight platform, peep toe and silver detailing, they might possibly be my most prettiest heels. Surprisingly the most comfortable out of all five.





Statement Heels
You have all seen these in one of my previous posts, the 'Spanish Tickler' heels given as a xmas present from the mother. How cool are these? I don't even know what to say about them except they are very original and stunning! They def make a statement I think you'd all agree.




And there you have it! I own a fair few heels, around 30 pairs, and thats not including flats, boots etc! Finding my top 5 wasn't so hard but I ave many heels to choose from that make me smile when I see them... sad I know :o)
So if you feel to show me your top five heels, go ahead and I look forward to your posts!

Thanks for reading

Winter Wardrobe

Hi All!!



So the weather has been a bit nippy the past few weeks, the snow keeps coming and going and in all honesty, I wish it'd just stay away! I am definately a summer baby, I just can't do the winter very well. So if your anything like me, the following is def a must in your winter wardrobe....



Winter Boots
A must have, and mine would have to be my Dior Moon Boots. These were a Christmas present from three years ago, and I a def grateful for these. The hibernate or the majority of the year and only come out in severe winter weather and especially when it snows. They are so comfortable and teamed with either skinny or baggy boyfriend jeans I am kept comfy and warm!





Earmuffs
I have these in both cream and black, I am constantly wearing them. My other half thinks I look ridic, but I dunno about you, but my ear get sooooo cold in the winter, that and my nose are the worst! If I could wear a nose warmer I so would! I found this photo of some earmuffs on the net, I just think they are so fluffly and cute.




Chunky Knitwear
Whether its a cosy jumper or scarf, their a great addition to a winter wardrobe and most likely make it. I loooove my snood so much, this one is from River Island and I bought it in 2008 since then there are now quite a few of them around... and even for the fellas! I love how you can wrap it around your neck about 9874767 times haha!


The other obvious additions to a winter wardrobe are gloves and hats, but we knew about that already haha :o)


Thanks for reading!
