FOOD: The Pigs, Edgefield

Nothing beats spending a Sunday afternoon in a country pub as the wind and rain take over outside.
On Sunday, my boyfriend and I went to The Pigs in Edgefield, North Norfolk for pudding club.

 

The concept is simple: £6 for as many desserts as you can eat! The pudding table looked like something I need to replicate in my own home, pronto!

 

 

We spent the afternoon nibbling on Eton mess, Bakewell tart, and rocky road

 

 

 

The pub was gorgeous and we will definitely go back.

BEAUTY: Autumn nail paints

We shouldn't wish summer away but there's something comforting about September. I love the bronzed trees, late sunsets and, of course, the fashion. Sandals make way for boots, bikinis are swapped for biker jackets and then there's my favourite part - scarves.

I love autumnal colours from oxblood to charcoal grey to emerald green. My favourite autumn nail paint is Victoria by Nails Inc, a beautiful deep plum which goes with everything and has been a staple in my collection for years (I have repurchased so many times!).

Here is a small selection of my favourite colours which will adorn my fingers this fall...

Essie Leading Lady. A gorgeous cranberry/plum glitter. Love.

FASHION: The Whistles biker

 

My spending habits have changed as I have got older; gone are the days when I would emerge from Primark two brown bags of goodies heavier and £50 lighter. Instead, I am trying to invest in my 'grown-up wardrobe' by buying timeless, classic, statement pieces which will hold their value.

Don't get me wrong, I am not going to blow £1,000 on a white shirt because it's a wardrobe staple, but I am trying to be smarter with my dollar.

I'd fallen in love with this Whistles Mila Biker Jacket on ASOS. I decided to wait until payday and it's a good job I did - instead of forking out £95 I picked it up for £45. It's gorgeous, soft and versatile.

BEAUTY: Liz Earle botanical shine nourishing hair oil

I'm a huge fan of hair oils. I use them on dry or damp hair for an added glossy boost.
I loved the L'Oreal elixir oil and after I used it up I switched to MoroccanOil light which I also liked. But I thought I would try something new and picked up the Liz Earle botanical shine nourishing hair oil. I haven't tried much from the brand but I am an enormous fan of the cleanse & polish.

It's very lightweight and it works wonders on my hair. It also comes in a glass bottle which adds a touch of luxury. My only gripe? The scent. But at £15 for 50ml it's a decent buy and one I would recommend.
