Holland and Barrett - Hair, skin and nails tablets

I have always been slightly skeptical as to whether hair, skin and nails supplements actually worked but having tried the Holland and Barrett ones because they were on offer, I am officially a convert! I was desperate to try some Kardashian endorsed Hairfinity tablets but thought they were a bit pricey, so when I saw the H&B "Hair, Skin and Nails" tablets on sale (120 tablets for only £6) I thought I would give them a try. After only a week of using the tablets, I noticed such a big difference in my hair and nails. My hair looked thicker and shinier, with people actually commenting that my hair looked healthier. I have had a terrible habit of biting my nails from being small but they were considerably stronger and longer after only a WEEK of using these tablets. I am so surprised that they have worked so well but now I am obsessed; I take my tablet every morning and feel like they are making such a difference. Although I bought them on offer, they are so cheap compared to supplements like Hairfinity and I cannot stress enough how much I have benefitted from taking them. Please give them a try girls and let me know what you think!

Thigh High Boots

Thigh high boots are less prostitute and more Paris chic this Autumn/Winter. I coveted a pair in Zara last year but didn’t get round to buying some and so I have made them my priority this winter. As seen on Olivia Palermo and Miranda Kerr, the thigh high is a staple piece of every girl’s AW14 wardrobe. Teamed with a short dress, oversized sweatshirt or to dress up a day time look, they are a versatile and essential purchase this winter.


You can pick yourself up a pair in lots of high street shops including Dune, River Island and Russell & Bromley, but at £20 this Primark (yes, PRIMARK) are an absolute steal for this year’s winter favourites. The heel is quite high considering there is no platform but they are still really comfortable to walk in, a benefit for anyone who needs an extra few inches. The black suede material is soft and may draw less attention to any ‘Pretty Woman’ similarities than if the material was leather… I will let you make your own conclusions if that’s a good or a bad thing. The boots come over the knee and sit comfortably around the thigh without being too tight. I’ve dressed them down with leather leggings and a black jumper for shopping but will definitely be dressing them up at some point soon, perfect for day time shopping or food and drinks at night. At £20 and from Primark (of all places), these particular boots probably aren’t going to last you until next year and I can’t imagine they will be very durable. However, by next winter there will probably be another seasonal essential that I have my eye on and the thigh high will be a distant but wonderful memory. You can check out how I wore mine here
