REVIEW || STICKY HEELZ - HOW TO LAST ALL DAY/NIGHT IN HEELS





Whenever I wear heels for a long amount of time and my feet start to hurt I get really moody. This can actually ruin my day and make me want to come home early just so I can take my heels off. I will then be put off wearing them for ages and the same thing will happen over and over again.


About Sticky Heelz:

"Sticky Heelz was developed to address the issue of loose fitting shoes.  With around 60% of the population having different sized feet and around 33% with narrow feet, it would be impossible for any shoe manufacturer to make shoes the exact fit for everybody.  They can address the issue by providing half shoe sizes but these are limited to certain brands and styles.  We hear from so many frustrated customers  about how existing products do not address the issue of shoes not fitting correctly, so they just avoid purchasing certain styles of shoes.   But with Sticky Heelz you can love your shoes again! As our unique two part product uses a shoe pad and heel pad that connect to secure the foot inside the shoe." - source


When I came across the brand Sticky Heelz I thought 'hey let's give these a go' and see whether they will change my mind about wearing heels daily. I was kindly sent a packet to try out which I'm grateful for as these turned out to be one of my holy grail products!

I feel that the suction strength is very decent and the pads stay put all day/night. I recently bought some heeled boots (pictured above) and as beautiful as they are, I found them slightly difficult to wear. After applying Sticky Heelz I decided to go ahead and wear these boots all day for uni, and I was not disappointed at all. I came home and I honestly wanted to keep my shoes on - mainly because they look great on - but also because I did not feel pressure on my feet at all.

I highly recommend this product to all who love wearing heels but can't deal with the discomfort and pain of them! You can buy them here for £6.99, but hurry and check out the website for some amazing Valentine's Day offers!

How do you cope with the discomfort of wearing heels? Have you tried Sticky Heelz before?

OOTD || Day At The Beach - Holiday Edition

Hey Everyone!

What have you all been up to? Finishing school? Doing your exams? Working? Well, you all must know by now that I'm in sunny Greece for a few more days so I've been making the most of it while still trying to blog and I've got some really exciting posts coming up once I'm back so make sure you stay tuned!!


I've been loving this high waisted bikini from Topshop so much that I've noticed I haven't tanned my stomach and lower back due to wearing it so much haha! This set actually cost me £1.80 including student discount as the pieces were reduced to £1 each around November time. WHAT?!!! I still can't believe I got myself such a great bargain! It's really comfy and flattering even for my figure where my waist isn't defined. The cute little playsuit is from the Coachella edition at H&M it's sooo pretty and looks great on. H&M have really been surprising me with some of their stuff lately, and I can't wait for their collab with Kenzo as their one of my favourite designers. The sandals are my trusty Primark ones which I've had probably for a couple of years now and they're still in perfect condition. I believe they cost me around £5 so they're really cheap and the quality of them is amazing, especially for this kind of price.

What outfits have you been loving recently? Let me know in the comments section down below!

Missguided Try On Haul

Hiya Everybody!

So, recently I've splurged a little bit on clothes and one of the brands I had shopped at was Missguided. I have made a wishlist featuring my favourite pieces not long ago which you can find here. I will link all items down below under each outfit.


As I'm going away to Rhodes next month, I got lots of outfits which are suitable for both daytime and nighttime wear which won't make me too hot in the sunny country.



Firstly, there's this gorgeous co-ord floral piece which only cost me £7 for the set in the sale! I absolutely love it and I think it'll look gorgeous on any skin tone. 



Here's another co-ord which is a bright orange colour. I didn't think it'll look that nice on me because of the colour, but I think it looks really nice and will be perfect for the summer holidays! Top - £5, Skirt - £5.



Right, I think there's a theme going on here as I had picked another co-ord haha! This piece comes in different colours but this one really caught my eye as I haven't got that many sparkly gold clothes. I especially love the top, I think it's very flattering and would look great with a pair of black skinny jeans in the evening for a night out on the strip. Top - £5, Skirt - £5.





Next up I bought two of the same skirt but in different colours. I chose the burgundy and the black as I think these colours are really versatile and can be easily paired up with different tops. They were quite hard to squeeze into but once they were on they felt comfy. I would recommend going for one size up though, just because the material isn't stretchy at all. Black Skirt - £5 and Burgundy - £5.



And the star of the post - this gorgeous crochet dress. I have been after one of these for a while and was willing to buy the one from my wishlist (here) but why spend £40 when I can spend £10 and get something even more beautiful for less? It fits perfectly and I really love it.

I hope you enjoyed this post as it's something different from what I usually do! 

What are your statement pieces this summer? Are you going away anywhere nice this year?

Lots of love,

#TBT to Barcelona

Hey Lovelies!

So I know I haven't shared many photos from my holiday to Spain with you guys but I have been reminiscing about it for the past few days so thought I'd share my experience with you!
So, me and Kieran went on our first holiday together to Costa Brava this time last year which is just half an hour's drive to Barcelona. Of course we visited the place - it was mesmerising. 


This picture doesn't look as good on here as it does on my iPad, I think it could be because it shrunk to fit in the post as it is a panoramic photograph that Kieran is very proud of taking haha.
I will just go ahead and post some pictures and occasionally mention what I'm wearing, but if you have any questions about a specific outfit/makeup/place then just ask me in the comments below and I will answer as soon as I can!


I'm wearing a white and black swimming costume from eBay, canary yellow spaghetti strap mini dress and black hat from Primark, and Ray Ban sunglasses. I took this selfie on the beach in Costa Brava while exploring the place and climbing onto some rocks!





Look at that highlight though... I felt like the sun! I think I used my trusty MUA in Iridescent Gold. If you haven't already got it you need to go and buy it NOW!




I love Kieran's hair in this. It looks so long! He always gets it cut really short :(

Have you been to Barcelona or Costa Brava before? Did you enjoy it?

Lots of love,
