So you know, one day it hits you and it clicks that you're at the age where all your gal pals are getting engaged the fact they are actually getting married hits you? Yeah that.
Aside from the fact I'll probably need to hire someone to be my Date for the night my first thought was panicking about what to actually wear. The last time I went to a wedding it was my Dad and Step Mum's which was literally like 10 years ago and I wore a purple number and had red hair (IDK WHAT I WAS THINKING, I KNOW!) Prior to that I wore a little bridesmaid dress back in 1996 when a family member got married - My Granny still has that little gown and I wore it religously every week at her house.
So I frantically started plotting what sort of stuff a wedding guest should wear? I dont like florals or lace and...

I'm Going to LA & San Francisco!
Picture me, sitting in my bed last Thursday afternoon, twiddling my thumbs bored out of my mind. I should be editing a video but Im actually sitting there scrolling through Reddit and thinking about if I want to order a takeaway for the evening. Spoiler alert, of course I did. Thai, was really great.
Anyway a email drops in my inbox asking me if I wanted to go on a trip. Well duh of course I do need you ask twice. So Im off on a jaunt to America again to cure my post holiday blues with the peep’s at Virgin Atlantic.
They were cool enough to let me bring a friend along and after asking around a bit I naturally picked Zoe. Not that she wasn’t my first choice she was just busy on the dates originally but after some wiggling we made it work.
So yeah, we’re off on a 8 day jaunt around California...
Style Update: Gingham and a serious silver wedge
What does one wear for sunny days in Monte Carlo? well, when it's all about yacht dreaming and Ferrari watching, a chequered dress seemed just about spot on. Only thing missing was the picnic basket. I had some mega silver wedges from Hushpuppies keeping my feet comfy as we roamed around town and a sleek pair of Louis Vuitton shades to fit right in with the posh people of Monaco. It was certainly a day, and an outfit, to remember. As I said on instagram, however, I do believe Cher from Clueless would have commented upon this attire as follows: "She could be a picnic in that dress." Too harsh? I love it!

Why to choose Jiji
Classified advertising, being a part of media space, has quickly and successfully changed its location. And moving to the Internet space with further creation of online marketplace was more than great idea. Take, for example, Jiji.ng. Today, it is the biggest Nigerian classifieds, but it started from an ordinary online shopping website. You can find a huge amount of items here sold at affordable prices, and advertisement here is much more effective than large scale advertising.
Of course, everything is not perfect. Classifieds attract scammers as well as they do people who want to sell or buy something. All we can say is that here they aren’t numerous. In addition to low prices, amazing selection and convenience in using, Jiji ensures maximal safety. All suspicious activity is tracked and...

Burberry Prosum
Darlings! I completely forgot to show you my latest designer purchase. My beautiful Burberry Prorsum polka dot gauze dress. Isn't it just dreamy. Sonny was suitably impressed of course. Especially with my shapely pins. No Photoshop needed here thank you very much.

Green Blusher?
I thought I'd tap up a review to go alongside my Green Blusher video which I posted over on Youtube. Just because... well I dunno really but I thought I would. I recorded my first impressions of the product but here is a bit more of a all round review.
So the Lipstick Queen Frog Prince is one of those old school Ph changing blushes that reacts to the oils and stuff on your face to create a "universally flattering" tone.
Remember those green Barry M lipsticks that used to dazzle your pals at a sleepover because you had no idea what wizardry was making it change colour on your lips???!! It's basically like that but in a blush format.
The blush has a really creamy gel like feel to it, much more slippery than your average cream blush. It doesn't dry down to a nice finish either and...

Damn, Jo
Damn, Jo Malone back at it again with another new launch. Wait. Is Jo Malone actually a person? *frantically googles* Ah yes she is. Panic over. Im sure there a brand that's fronted with a womans name but isnt actually a person but I can't think of it off the top of my head.
So once again Jo Malone have dropped a lovely new fragrance in the form of the uber fresh Jo Malone Nashi Blossom. Nashi is Japanese for Pear and well blossom suggests flowers so any guesses what it smells like?
Clean and pretty, it's a fruity floral delight for the nostrils. A lil sweetness with the fruity apple and pear notes but then has a few sharper hums in the form of lemon and then a nice sophist' finish with rose rounding it off. The packaging is adorbs too - If you're going to be spending £60+ on a fragrance...

A return to vlogging
I'll start by saying this - I'm obviously rubbish at keeping up with the whole vlogging thing. I think there comes a point at which you reach "sharing saturation," and for me that was last week. Trying to snapchat, instagram, tweet, Facebook and blog all at one time is a full time job. Oh wait, this is my full time job. So nothing abnormal there, I suppose. Anywho, I've decided to take a step back from a few platforms and concentrate a bit more on video content. So back to vlogging I go.
I had a word with a few vlogger friends who more or less sat me down and told me that my posh interpretations of hotels and cars to video was not what people wanted to see. People, apparently, want to see more of the person behind the camera, when it comes to video. So when you see a person that looks...

Hi, Im Lily and Im obsessed with Quay Australia My Girls. If you asked me what pair of sunglasses I'd want to wear for the rest of my life would be I would 100% without hesitation say Quay Australia My Girls. Because that's a real question people IRL ask right?
Im not sure why I like these cat eyed sunglasses of glory became my favourite style of glasses but they are a style that just work for me. They make my face look less moon faced than usual and I'm a total sucker for a mirrored lens.
I bought this pair from Topshop in Westfield last month but I'm sure you can find them somewhere online, my terrible googling skills are failing me rn. Quay tends to go in and out of stock pretty fast so it's...
The Haute Couture Atelier of Aston Martin
Since starting FFG over seven years ago, I have had the great pleasure of visiting countless workshops and ateliers with some of the world's most respected and cherished fashion brands. I've seen everything from the birth of a Birkin bag to the setting of some of Van Cleef & Arpel's finest jewels. With each visit, I have found a new appreciation for the value of handcrafted goods. The fine art of hand craftsmanship is not a dying profession, but it is one that has definitely grown more scarce since machines have taken over so much of the manufacturing that exists today. So, when I'm presented with an opportunity to highlight a brand that is continuing on in the art of fine creation, I scream my support from every rooftop I can find. Last month I had the opportunity to visit Aston Martin's...
