This is a list.
A list of all the places I continue to go back to, again, and again, and again. The places I’ve been buying from for years. The things that send me into a small panic when they start to run low. Is it superficial? Perhaps. But these items are my ride or dies.
Clothes
This list could be ten times longer, and rather than list every place I buy clothes, this list is going to comprise the brands I get asked about the most when I wear them. To find out which places are inspiring me at the moment, keep checking my recent posts, as I will share brands and collections as soon as I find them.
Rosa Bloom
The best place to buy sequins. Rosa Bloom creates clothes designed to make you look and feel sensational. The most common question I get asked online is “isn’t it itchy?” And the answer is absolutely not. I have worn jumpsuits, dresses, hot pants and leotards by Rosa Bloom for over 12 hours, and they are as comfy as any loungewear. I’ve been buying from Rosa Bloom for over 12 years, and I will continue to buy everything they make because it’s always spectacular.
Winifred Rose
I have several dresses from Winifred Rose, and each is a head turner – intricate designs, perfectly placed sequins, it all makes for a dress that makes me feel like a goddess walking through starlight.
L.O.M
Gorgeous prints, sexy bodysuits, bright colours, everything I love about clothes.
When it comes to the high street, I actually find it really hard to shop – I don’t like the crowds, and I really struggle to find anything because there is so much there. Shops are over full and I hate the signs of overconsumption. So for all my high street shopping, I stick to shopping online, and I use keyword searches rather than browsing through items until I see something I like. I will search for the fabric I want (tulle / velvet / wool) and filter by the colours I like to wear, and the type of item I’m looking for (sweater / skirt / trousers ) This way I still get to browse, but I get shown more of what I like, and less of what I don’t.
Hair
COLOUR : Hot Hot Pink by Manic Panic
I go through phases with my hair colour, but right now, (December 2025) I have been using Hot Hot Pink for over a year consistently. It is a BRIGHT pink, and if you scroll through my social pages, you can take a look at how it fades over time. Bear in mind that I only wash my hair once, sometimes twice a week, because I am LAZY and I want to avoid having to dye my hair too often. I top it off every 6 weeks or so. My hair is naturally dark blonde, and I bleach it super light before adding the pink.
Sea salt spray
I use Sam McNight Sundaze, but honestly, any will do. It gives my hair texture and stops it flopping back down on itself.
Color Wow Raise The Root
I have a LOT of hair. There is so much, that it tends to collapse under its own weight, this spray, which you apply directly to your roots, works like magic to just lift your hair off your scalp. It just creates instant volume and lift. Magic.
Skincare:
Drunk Elephant T.L.C Glycolic Body Lotion.
I have always had really dry skin on my legs – I’ve tried oils, hundreds of moisturisers, a 3 step skincare routine – nothing worked, my legs were dry and scaly and I was always embarrassed to get them out. Until this cream.
It does a great job of gently exfoliating off the top layer dry skin, and the cream keeps my legs moisturised for a good 24 hours, resulting in smooth legs, free from dry skin and KP bumps – something I’d only ever been able to dream about beforehand. I use this exclusively on my legs, mind you, elsewhere on my body, I switch up the cream I use because I find it doesn’t really matter which cream I use for the best.
Sunday Riley Auto Correct
I have used this eye cream exclusively for the last six years, because it does a great job of depuffing and lightening my dark under eyes. It works. I love it. I never run out of it.
MakeUp:
Pat McGrath Labs Perma Precision Liquid Eyeliner – Extreme Black
I have oily eyelids, and I love a lined lid. It is not a good combination – every eyeliner transfers to my lids, or smudges, or just plain wipes straight off. Everyone except this one. It has a felt nib, which makes it really easy to draw wing, and it glides on with ease and precision, and, as long as I set it with a little powder, it stays in place all day.
Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish:
Sublime Perfection Blurring Under Eye Powder – Light
This is a sheer setting powder that does exactly what it is supposed to do. It blurs your under eyes. But I also like to use it to set my eyeliner, and IT WORKS.
Isamaya Liplacq – Ultraviolet
This is my go-to lip gloss. I love it so much I always have two or three on the go. It has a glittery lilac colour to it, with a light plumping effect.
For a non-plumping version, I use Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer in Icy Amethyst, which I love in equal amounts.
A note about skincare & makeup:
I always buy online, and I look for offers, so that I don’t pay full price. As much as I love these products, they aren’t supermarket prices, so I feel it’s worth the effort to find the best deals before buying.
