BEAUTY: Clinique All About Shadow Nude Eye Shadow Palette

With the perfect selection of nude bases and tones of warm taupes, soft pastels and chocolate, this palette is pretty much spot on. The colours blend well together and the palette is compact enough to fit into the tiniest of clutches. I like to keep my make-up simple and let my accessories do the talking and this is just beautiful!

You can buy the palette here for £32

FASHION: Mulberry metallic mushroom bow bracelet

Mulberry is one of my favourite British brands. I recently celebrated my 25^th birthday and was generously given some money. Rather than buy a few nail polishes and clothes from Topshop, I wanted to buy something which would last and would be in my collection for a long time.

I saw this bracelet online and went into House of Fraser in Norwich the next day to buy it in black or red. But I opted for the S/S 14 metallic mushroom because it was a little different and I can wear it with most clothes in my wardrobe.

I love it!

BEAUTY: Selfridges advent calendar

I love the countdown to Christmas almost as much as I love the day itself...Christmas music, chocolates in the office every day and the shopping...oh the shopping.

But last Christmas, the countdown was made much more bearable with the help of the Selfridges' Advent Calendar. Twenty four beautiful, luxury minis made the month fly by.

Highlights include Kiehl's Crème De Corps and Lancôme hypnose mascara. 

I have spent the past six weeks trying all the products and have already bought a few full-sized ones. I will definitely order another one of these this year. Hurry up, December!
