Just a very quick post to show you all the gorgeous new addition to my wardrobe! I'd been eyeing up this studded clutch in Zara for some time, though hadn't actually mentioned how much I loved it to anyone other than a very bored Chris who'd ben dragged round the shops. Well last week my mum surprised me with one! I was so shocked, I actually thought I'd told her about it! Just a bit bigger than a large purse it'll be perfect to wear for a night out or a meal. I can't wait to feature it in an outfit post soon!

I received this little cutie in the September Joliebox - side note, I've been subscribed to Joliebox for some time, but never posted a review of the contents. Is this something you would like to see? Anyway, I nearly didn't review this product as it was plastered all over the internet over the summer and I wondered if people needed another review, but I've been pretty much addicted to balmi since I got it! I received the strawberry flavour, which is yum and alone makes you want to regularly apply the product!
The most exciting thing about the balmi lip balms has to be the packaging. Very much based on the famous EOS lipbalms, which I've never tried but have always been slightly attracted to the unusual design. The spherical mould makes application so much easier and well, fun! Others have mentioned it being more hygienic than a pot, I'm not too sure about that - it does go in direct contact with your moth after all, but I like the idea!
Most important of all I've found the lip balm to be really effective! Containing shea butter, antioxidant rich vitamin E and jojoba oil, my lips are in great condition at the moment and it's definitely down to balmi! Balmi also contains an SPF of 15, perfect!
Have you tried any of the balmi lip balms? I'd love to know what you think in the comments below!
To do: Find winter coat - check! I know the khaki jackets with contrast leather sleeves are ALL over place right now, but I love them and couldn't resist this one with the faux-shearling lining when I spotted it on missguided ! I was SO torn between this and one with gold glittery sleeves, also via missguided, but decided to go for this for that little bit more warmth in the winter months.
I also picked up this fab navy checked shirt, purely for the cute little studs! It was perfect for the chilled out day I had today - a little drive around the Yorkshire countryside, visiting the swans and ducks and a wander around a pretty local town. Though a studded shirt could never be classed as boring, I loved how the whole look was jazzed up even further with my trusty old AA disco pants!
