Walk this way...

I think I may have just stumbled (pun not intended) across the answer to heel wearing minus the pain.

If you, like me have ever limped home or in my case scarred your feet, making them bleed and blister in the name of fashion this post is for you!

All you need is some tape (preferably medical or masking tape) and a pair of your favourite heels.

The trick is to tape your third and fourth toes together!

Strange I know but it actually works! This technique relieves the pressure and pain in the balls of your feet.

So what's the medical answer behind this strange tip?

Supposedly the nerve that lies between the third and fourth toes is what causes the pain when wearing heels and by taping these toes together you alleviate the strain on that nerve and Voilà!

Heels minus the pain

'That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.' - My Favourite Fragrances

Perfume is something I wear every single day, whether I'm at work, at an event or just lounging about at home.

Fragrance is highly subjective, here are my  own personal favourites.

I am not great at describing fragrance but I will give it a go.

Daisy by Marc Jacobs is a divine, light floral and fresh scent. Of the three, Daisy is the most subtle and the perfect everyday scent. It is hard to imagine anyone not liking this perfume, as it is so delicate. With notes of musk, vanilla, mid notes of Violet Petals and Jasmine and Top notes of Strawberry and Violet leaves this scent is a summers day in a bottle. 

See By Chloe is a particularly sweet scent however as the day wears on, I find this perfume becomes more musky and intense. This is particularly special to me, as it is the perfume my mother wears. The main accords of are floral, woody, musky and slightly fruity. A scent for those who like something a little more intense for everyday.

Both these perfumes are beautiful, however my absolute favourite scent in the whole word is the original fragrance by Chloe, Chloe eau de Parfum. With notes of Freesia, Lily of the Valley, Rose, Pink Peony, Lychee, Magnolia Flower, Cedarwood, Amber and Honey.

This fragrance has been my signature scent since I was 15 years old and people actually often recognise it as my scent.

These three may be my go-tos however, I'm always looking for a new fragrance, so what's your favourite fragrance?

My Go-to

On days that I have a bit more time on my hands, or fancy a change from having my hair down, there is one style I have recently turned to again and again.

The plaited ponytail is a hairstyle that Blake Lively frequently wore on gossip girl, which makes it all the more appealing.

For me, changing hairstyles is another way in which I can play with my appearance and overall style as one does with clothes, accessories and makeup.

I used a youtube video for instructions, so try searching 'braided ponytail tutorial' Most of them are pretty easy to duplicate.
