25 Facts About Me Fashion Beauty Blog


When the 50 Facts About Me tag started to surface I was bit like - urgh, who cares and never read them!  Then people started breaking them down to 25, and it caught my attention.  I found myself loving the tags that I read, whether they were fun and light hearted or totally deep, honest and personal - I even found myself going back and reading the 50 factors!  So here I am with my 25...

1)  I've been vegetarian for over 10 years.

2)  I fell in love with Italy after attending a summer school at the British School of Rome whilst at Uni.  I had the best time ever visiting archaeological sites around the city.

3)  This experience inspired me to learn Italian.  I took evening classes after work at both GCSE and AS level.  The courses have finished but I'm still trying to learn!

4)  I don't drink tea.  It's one of my most antisocial qualities.

5)  I always wanted to get a horse called Hazel when I grew up.  It hasn't happened.

6)  I have a scar on my eyebrow (accident as a baby) and on the palm of my hand (bit by an Alsatian).

7)  I did geography A-Level because I wanted to be a weather girl.

8)  I used to hate olives but now I'm addicted to them!

9)  I'm a teeny tiny 5'4.  I wish I was taller.

10)  I live for my holidays.

11)  I don't like my teeth.

12)  Malta is like my second home.

13)  I think I might be addicted to fizzy drinks.  I hate that fact.

14)  I got engaged in Rome.  Chris proposed in italian ♡

15)  I love films, but don't have a favourite  Who could choose just one?!

16)  I probably have enough fancy dress outfits to start a shop!

17)  I'm obsessed with reading.  I love everything from fantasy to thriller, historical drama to chick lit.  I particularly love a series of books - the obsession can last longer!

18)  I'm happy in my own company, but get depressed when I'm lonely.

19)  I was massively into pop punk, metal, rock and ska up until finishing uni.  Now, not as much, but I still hold a soft spot!

20)  I'm really bad with names.

21)  I don't particularly enjoy driving.   It's a way to get from A to B, but I much prefer being a passenger!

22)  I always order the same thing at Wagamama.  No.27 - no mushrooms (I hate mushrooms, which can be awkward when you're vegetarian!) 

23)  I went to Newcastle University and studied Ancient History.

24)  My niece, Sophia, is Maltese.  She's just turned 2 years old and is the most fun ever.  Visiting her in Gozo is my favourite thing to do.  Ever.

25)  I'm half Irish.

Well done if you made it to the end, I hope you enjoyed it!  If you've done this tag, post me your YouTube or blog post links below.  I love having a nosy!

After watching and really enjoying the lovely Sammi Maria's Fashion Tag video I thought it would be something really fun to recreate on this blog!  So, hear we go... Enjoy!

How would you describe your style?
I would describe my style as simple, girly and casual.  I'm very much a high street girl which helps in keeping up with quite a few trends, but I wouldn't for a minute say that all the latest trends dictate my style, I prefer to pick and chose aspects that work for me.  The easiest way to depict my style is actually in my blog post on the Whistles VIP Spring Summer 2011 Fashion Event.  My fave picks from Whistles Spring Summer collection are actually all the type of clothes that I love to wear.





What are you wardrobe staples?
Definitely skinny jeans, I wear them all the time only really followed closely by leggings and more recently, chino style trousers.  I've got skinny jeans in a wide variety of colours, light and dark denim, black, grey, white, pink, peach, turquoise and the list goes on!  I regularly just dress up skinny jeans with a nice dressy going out top and heals for a night out, or to keep in casual and pair of flats and baggy t-shirt or vest.

Most expensive item in your closet?
I really don't go for expensive items and anything that I do have that's expensive was most likely a gift or something that I found in a sale!  Believe me, I wish I could go for more designer items!!  I've probably got a few pairs of boots and bags that are roughly the same price, off the top of my head my Ouska bag is probably among those 'most expensive' items.  This is the only picture I can find showing most of it!


Most wanted item?
This is hard!  And changes every couple of weeks!  If I could chose any designer items they would go something along the lines of this...


Rick Owens Biker Jacket,  Michael Kors Rose Gold Plated Watch,  Preen Gatsby Pleated Dress,  Alexander McQueen Lizard Platform Pumps,  Roberto Cavalli Jasper Ring,  Ralph Lauren Blanket Hobo Bag.
That's not a lot is it?? !

Favorite designer?
Probably Alexander McQueen, an amazing mix of street casual and fabulous decadence! 

How much do you spend on clothes?
This really varies and t be honest I've no idea... is that bad?  I'd probably average less than £100 a month??

Where are your favorite places to shop?
Definitely the highstreet! I really love Zara, H&M, Topshop, Primark, TK Maxx & River Island.

Favorite fragrance?
At the moment Paco Rabanne's Lady Million and Juicy Couture's Couture Couture.  Double yum!

What's your favorite way to do your hair?
You may have noticed from the odd picture on here that I just like a natural wavy look, at the moment I'll just centre part my hair and let it dry naturally into a light curls /waves.  In a perfect world I'd have hair like Jennifer Lopez!

What is your go-to outfit when you have no idea what to wear?
Probably like I said in the wardrobe staples question, skinny jeans with a baggy vest or t-shirt.

One fashion trend you wish would come back or stay
This is really difficult because most of the 'classic' trends that I really love never seem to leave.  Mainly Parisian Chic, but also Boho Festival Fashion... even if only for the summer!

Show us your most prized possession in your wardrobe
I'd probably say that shoes are one of the those that I most fall in love with, here are some of my faves!


Mango Studded Chain Platforms and Miss KG Low Slung Heels
