I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenttyyy twoo

Soooo yep. Tomorrow is my 22nd birthday. The big two-two. A decade since I was 12, carefree and in year 8. 

Blimey, I feel so old. 

Once you hit 20 life seems to go so quickly, and every week, and month and year blurs into one. Looking back over the past 4 years since I turned 18 I know I have changed monumentally, and yet also I don't feel that different. I look different, act different, have different interests and goals in life, but so much has remained the same. My friends for example. I've had a certain group of friends since I was 13-ish, and since sixth form my entire extended social circle (excluding my gorgeous uni friends) has remained pretty much the same. I love that, but it's weird thinking about nights out with the same people which happened four years ago now. 

Anyway to mark the date, I thought I would share a few old birthday pics that I found! I don't have too many that I can easily get to, but enjoy the ones I have found! :D

Are YOU a fan of Topshop/ Adidas' StellaSport?

The fashion blogging world seems to have blown up over the past few days about TopshopXAdidas' collaboration StellaSport. With a tagline like "think high performance technology wear in statement silhouettes and explosive colours" they have created high expectations. Indeed I have seen bloggers tweeting/blogging/instagramming this collection to kingdom come, and so I must say, I was intrigued.

#JustOliviaNYE

If you've been following me on twitter at all recently, you will have noticed me spamming your feed with my New Year's Eve plans & preparations. New Year is my favourite celebration, I just love the excitement, seeing all your friends who are home for the holidays, and yes I love the glitter!

Every year we seem to have an amazing soul who hosts a massive house party where everyone is welcome, and this year my friend Ellis hosted an incredible cosmic themed one. It was insane, and everyone went all out with their costumes. Beforehand I went for drinks at my friend Katherine's, and us lot all wore bright wigs, and looked like we were in a band. It was amazing.

Anyway, I thought I would share with you the best from my NYE hashtag, and a few pictures from the party. I would love to hear how your various New Years Eve's were, and what your resolutions are? My resolutions are to connect more to people and to look after myself better!

HAPPY 2015!

Pep Up Your Winter Skin


Happy Sunday everyone! Today has been wet & dreary, and I'm ill as well, and this has got me thinking about my skin and skincare routine. Winter is notoriously harsh on skin, and even worse on already dry skin such as mine. 
Changing weather, the cold, heating, illness - these all contribute to wrecking my skin, by drying it out more, congesting it and breaking it out. However this year I have found a few great ways of pepping my skin up, and I want to share them with you!
