With Autumn well and truly established, there's only one solution to making ourselves feel better about the darker, colder nights - and that is the trusty Prosecco bottle!
If you're like myself, there's no better time than when a cheeky glass of prosecco is embedded in my hand, sipping away gracefully with not a care in the world. I was so happy with my prosecco inspired treats from ijustloveit.co.uk that I couldn't wait to set up my own prosecco palace. After having a snoop on the website I quickly began to fall in love with pretty much EVERYTHING. The thing that caught my eye, was the special touch, being able to have everything personalised or engraved - this makes a gift or self treat all the more better!

They have something for everyone, all ages and all styles - with summer being over there is so much more to look forward to.. we're talking bonfires, toasting marshmallows, soup, hot chocolate, warm coats, fireworks... how cosy does that sound?! Quoted from ijustloveit's website, autumn is the time to bring out your favourite mittens and embrace the hot chocolates and mulled wine. You can make the most of staying at home with some beautiful new home gifts.
Just a little extra fun tip - October is national pizza month! Say WHAT?! Celebrate this delicious month in style with an all time fave personalised rustic pizza plate from ijustloveit - I can't wait to see the pizza selfies!


What better way to spend winter evenings?

Fur, Fairy Lights and Prosecco.

Following my last post Valentines Gift Guide for her, I thought it would only be right to include the guys too - after all they love presents just as much as us ladies! So guys, if you're reading this, you know what to do - send it over to your lady and hope for the best. Having a boyfriend for 3 years myself I know trying to find a gift you think he's going to like is very hard and I always love reading gift inspiration posts in hope of finding something he's going to like. So here goes...

A Nice Shirt - This is always a winner! Men always need a smart shirt so this is bound to make him smile. It doesn't have to be a mega expensive shirt either, this one is from Topman and is the perfect crisp white shirt - great with a pair of jeans and some smart shoes.

Music Speaker - GREAT IDEA. You can pick up little portable bluetooth speakers pretty much everywhere, including Tesco's so you don't have to go out and spend a load of money on a good present that someone will love. They are great for listening to your tunes in the shower or wherever you please!

Headphones - Headphones are always a good present in my eyes. Everyone always needs an extra pair of headphones.. they are so easy to lose, get tangled up or break. The headphones featured in this post are from Apple. Similar here.

A New Wash Kit Bag - Handy for the travelling man who wants to rock up with a fancy wash kit. Everyone needs somewhere to put there toothbrush and deodorant, they travel in style too you know?! I picked this one up for Jon from Primark and it looks just as nice as a real leather one.. perfect present for the fashionable man.

A New Book - A book is a great present if you're really stuck for choice. Everyone loves a good book every now and again so buying a book from your partners favourite celebrity or idol is always a very thoughtful present! Jon loves Top Gear and all of the three presenters, so Jeremy Clarkson's new book was a fab choice.

Their Favourite After Shave - Men love there spray just as much as us ladies love our perfume, so don't forget to treat your man with a fresh new bottle of his favourite after shave - a very great and thoughtful present that he's bound to love! The one featured in this post is the gorgeous Paco Rabanne 1 million Eau De Toilette spray.

T-shirt, Underwear, Socks & Hoodies - If you know your other half well enough to know there style clothes is always a good present. You can't go wrong with a new t-shirt or hoodie, everyone always needs more of those and guess what? They make the perfect gift too! Jack Wills have a great variety of t-shirts and comfy wear, so I'm sure you'd find the perfect thing.

Playstation/Xbox/Computer Game - I'm definitely not saying you need to go all out and buy your other half a brand new gaming device, as that can be awfully expensive (by all means buy one if your budget allows you too, I'm sure they would love you forever!) Most men already have one and are obsessed with playing it a lot.. *eye roll from a girlfriend who knows the playstation struggles* so buying a new game or some points is always a good idea. You can buy gift cards with some xbox or playstation gaming points (don't ask me) and I'm sure they'd appreciate the kind gesture of us trying to understand the obsession. A win win situation all round!


I hope this has given you the Valentine's inspiration you needed, and I hope you all have a fabulous day. Make sure you let me know what you all get up to! I'm sure they'll be a cheeky post about how I spend my day.

Until next time,
Love, H x

It's that time of year again when we're thinking of that little something special to get our other halfs for Valentines Day. Today I thought I'd do a little gift guide to inspire you ladies out there, who need to point the clueless partners in the right direction (send them over to me girls!) And for the male readers who fancy surprising the lady in your life with a gorgeous Valentines gift. I have to put a little disclaimer in here to say, you don't have to go out and buy all of these products, these are just a few little gifts I'd love to receive myself, and have enjoyed using/having, and want to share with you hoping to give you a little inspiration.
Spreading the joy of gift giving throughout the lands!

Instax Mini 8 - This is FABULOUS. I absolutely love this little Polaroid camera. It comes in a whole range of different colours too, so if white isn't your thing they have black, pink, yellow and even blue - how lush is that! You can't go wrong with a pink camera. It's perfect for capturing your memories and not having the stress of getting it printed out afterwards because it just pops out of the top and you can watch it develop and keep forever. A photography fanatic's galore!

Zoeva Rose Gold makeup brushes - If you've seen my recent post on the most beautiful makeup brushes you've ever seen, you will know how gorgeous this set is. (If you haven't I suggest you take a moment to go and read that so you can see the full beauty.) For any makeup crazed fabulous lady you can't go wrong with a new makeup brush set - it will make her day. If you know she/you don't need the whole set you can just buy individual brushes from the website too! Wonderful.

Flowers -  You can neeever go wrong with a beautiful bunch of flowers. When someone buys me flowers I am happy for days! I absolutely love it. Flowers are for every occasion, or for those random days you feel like giving someone/yourself a little pick me up. They instantly make the room better, smell nicer and are gorgeous to look at. The Perfect Gift.

A New Mug - If you're like me and have a slight mug obsession, then this is the perfect gift for you. If you know your other half loves choosing the right cup for the occasion when making themselves a cup of tea, this gift could put you right up there in the good books. This anthropologie mug is beautiful, and I absolutely love using it. It adds a personal touch too because your initial is on the front.

Anna Von Bergmann Cord Disc Bracelet - I recently received the most gorgeous handmade cord disc bracelet from the fabulous Anna Von Bergmann and I love it. If you're all caught up with my blog posts you would have seen the review on this gorgeous bracelet. I love the simplicity of it, it's so elegant and pretty and will go with everything. You can have the gold plated disc hand engraved so you can add your own personal touch making the gift all the more special.

Zoeva Eye Shadow Palette - Eye Shadow Goals. "The Princess Palette" has every rose gold and neutral shade you could ever need for creating the perfect golden look. It comes gorgeously packaged and is the right size to fit into your makeup bag. Its lush! The eye shadow names give it that extra magical touch.

Topshop & Charlotte Tilbury Lipsticks - If you're looking for a little present, I think lipstick is a good place to start. If you know your partner loves all things makeup you can't go wrong with a new lippy. My two favourite places for lipstick at the moment are Topshop and Charlotte Tilbury - both lovely and have a great variety of colours. For the colder winter months I've been using Topshop lipstick in the colour Beguiled. The packaging for both is gorgeous and is sure to make any lady happy.

I hope this guide has been helpful and given you the inspiration you needed, it's only 14 days away so let the shopping commence. Let me know if you have any other valentines gift idea's.. Or any winter products you've been loving.
Love, H x
