Leibster Award

Thank you to the lovely Kathryn Briggs from the wonderful blog, Bags to Boot, for nominating me for the Leibster Award.

This is the second time I've been lucky enough to receive the award, so not to bore everyone again with more facts about me, I'm just going to answer Kathryn's questions (I'm not sure how many times your mean't to do the whole process but I love reading other people's answers to these kinda questions!)

1. Why did you start blogging?
My uni course recommended it. I'm studying fashion journalism, so my blog is a good sample of my work for prospective employers.


2. If you had to wear only one brand for the rest of your life what would it be?
Oooh tough one! If I had unlimited funds it would be Chanel. Otherwise it would be Topshop.


3.Why did you choose your blog name?
Having dropped out of uni the first time around (long story), when I went back I was a bit older than the rest of my course mates. Plus I don't really like clubbing, and my joints click when I move, so I was nicknamed Granny...


4. What's bee your best moment as a blogger?
Reaching 100 followers for sure. It's lovely to think people are actually reading something you've written. That's the dream for a journalist.


5. What's your favourite song at the moment?
It's still Thrift Shop by Macklemore. Think it sums up my life pretty well, haha!


6. What do you do outside of blogging?
I'm a student, an intern at a magazine and I work in a high street store.


7. Where's your favourite place in the world?
A little beach near where I live.


8. What are your summer plans?
Not much, working on my dissertation proposal, interning and (hopefully) earning enough money to pay the rent.


9. Best thing you ever bought?
Probably my laptop, or the box set of Gilmore Girls (I love that show more than is healthy).


10. Worst thing you ever bought?
Oh I don't know! I often regret buying things but I can't think of anything at the moment.


11.  What's your favourite blog to read?
I do love reading What Olivia Did. She has an amazing sense of style.

What's in my handbag?

A quick post today to show you my everyday handbag essentials.


(from left to right) 
1. Neutrogena Hand cream (the best hand cream out there) 

2. Revlon ColourBurst Lip Butter

3. Blue Biro (something an aspiring journalist should never be without!)

4. Sunglasses (waaay to big for my face, I bought them for a £1 from H&M for a 60's photo-shoot and use them for driving)

5. Paperchase Diary

6. Accessorize Purse 

7. Paul & Joe Lipstick

8. Polos

9. Nivea Lip Balm


These are my top three lipsticks/balms that I always carry around. The Nivea lip balm in Soft Rose is brilliant. It keeps your lips soft while providing a really lovely pink colour and shines like a gloss.

The Paul & Joe lipstick is really soft and sumptuous. These peach/coral tone (for some reason it looks pinker than it is, in the picture!), is a really pretty nude colour for everyday.

And the Revlon ColourBurst Lip Butter  in Sugar Frosting is a lovely colour, not to dissimilar to my natural colour, so I just use it to gain a little shimmer.
