#DISNEYADULTS!
Day 1
So we arrived at Disneyland Paris bang on in the middle via the Eurostar! I had no idea that you could arrive directly into the Disney Village and not have to change trains at all. It only took us less than 3 hours as well and that three hours was needed to catch up on my nap! When we reached our station (Marne-La-Villée) and dropped our bags off at the Disney express counter - where they will take your bags and drop them off at the hotel for you so you have more time at the park! Such a smart idea! We made our way to the hotel then checked into our rooms. We stayed at the Disneyland hotel and it couldn't of been more magical! It even smelled like candy! Even better, you could buy the Disney room fragrance to transform your home with a nostalgic atmosphere. To our surprise, our rooms were filled with ears, giant Mickey gloves, chocolates, champaign and more! I was so thankful and overwhelmed by the goodies and we hadn't gone into the park yet!
We finally made our way into the Disney park and headed straight to Discovery land for food. I had to try the Darth Vader burger which was made with black dyed buns! It was so good! I need to go back and try all the other burgers too. To be honest all the food I had there was incredible! So no complaints there! After a ride on space mountain and the Buzz lightyear later blast we then got into our allocated section to watch the parade. This guys, you really have to go and see for yourself. It was so magical that I was lost for words and got pretty emotional whilst watching everything. You really do relive your childhood dreams and imagination. Whilst your favourite Disney character is dancing around and singing you really couldn't help it but get so happy! I think my favourite was the Alice in Wonderland float!
After the parade, I quickly went to my room to freshen up and got ready to head to the fireworks show. I've never seen anything like that before so was so excited to see the show. We got to stood pretty close to the sleeping beauty tower as well which made everything incredible. Perfect little huddle to see everything. Standing right in the middle of the crowd full of families and even couples just made it more magical. Everyone singing along, dancing - it was Disney that bought us all together! Just that thought alone made me again (pretty) emotional! But of course in a good way! It's something that all of us grew up with or is still growing up with. And to always have that in common with another person is pretty unbreakable. The show of course, was intensely five stars. I loved how the animations were projected onto the castle and all the stories and songs they included. Not to mention how amazing the fire works were! I didn't expect it to be as big but the ending literally blew me away!
After the fireworks show, we then headed to eat at Inventions. A buffet style restaurant with all the food you could think of that tasted so good! Especially the greens and the lamb chop that I had! We dined with some characters too which was a bonus! Oh and don't forget dessert! I was pretty full but couldn't miss out on the chocolate moose!
Day 2
So on our second day, we headed straight to the Walt Disney studios park! It's more movie based and had so many rides that I wanted to go on! We started off the morning with a kick! On the Hollywood Tower of Terror!
I have been waiting to go on this ride ever since it opened and after patiently waiting, we got a chance to go on and was able to film our reactions! You can view it here in Leanne's vlog! Other rides we did was Ratatouille,Parachute drop ,Crush's Coaster, Rock'n'Roller coaster! Finished off the day with a cocktail session at the Cafe Fantasia then dinner at the California Grill! Again, highly recommend both the places for food and drinks!

Day 3
Our final day :( We headed to brunch then off to a little outlet shopping village (similar to Bicester Village) which was about 10 minutes away. I didn't find any goodies but the other girls did and I put my hands up in saying I was a bit of an instigator! So after we shopped, headed back to the park and went of a few more rides as our train didn't depart till the late afternoon! We went straight over to the Indiana Jones ride (wasn't my favourite - bashed my head way too much!) and Big Thunder mountain! Really loved that one as it lasted longer than I expected! I really couldn't be more happier that I went with these gorgeous girls, thank you so much The Blogger Program and Disneyland Paris for this amazing opportunity! I am so grateful for this! Disneyland really isn't just only for kids! It's for adults too! #disneyadults

Who ever said you can't pair navy and black has no idea what they are talking about. I think people are still skeptical about pairing the colours together but I personally love it. Especially when you have a super comfy knitted two piece and such a bold shape coat - why not pair it together?

Transitional dressing with H&M
With the colder weather creeping in, it's getting harder for us to dress accordingly. Whilst we do get our share of rain and wind we do also get a dash of sunshine. So for this transitional period I wanted to show you guys 3 ways to style this H&M light jacket - perfect for the unpredictable weather and great for layering!
For the first look I opted something thats suitable for a meeting. I'm often up in London 3-4 times a week and on the go so don't want to overdress incase the weather warms up. I've paired this checkered dress with the lightweight jacket to keep it rather casual and finished it off with some military boots to match the 'Girl Army' trend. With the dress and jacket being really thin - I can feel comfortable moving around without getting hot.
This outfit is perfect for a shopping trip. Even though you might be indoors for most of the day, you don't want to put on a heavy weight jacket or something thats really insulated. Keep it casual with high waisted jeans, basic tee and your go-to white trainers. I find this combo also perfect for dog walks, museum trips and a good old lunch date. You can even wear the jacket over your shoulder too for an ultra chic look. The key to this outfit is to mix casual pieces with a lighter outerwear option which is great for on the go.
For my last outfit of course I had to finish it off with an all black one. I opted for my culottes, turtle neck top and super comfy trainers. This is perfect for school and is easy to put together in less than 5 minutes! This jacket is perfect to have in your back to school wardrobe for sure, you can dress it up or down and layer scarves on top if the weather gets colder.

Everything in the range is super affordable and great for transitional dressing.

Kicked off my LFW with an all black outfit by my favourite designer - Alexander Wang! I've been saving to show you guys these pieces and wanted to wear them for the first time at fashion week! These are my absolute favourite pieces that I own by him at the moment and I was even lucky enough to attend his store opening party and go to his after party with him! Yes - I fan girl so hard but didn't get a photo with the man himself as my anxiety got the best of me and could not move!
Thanks to ELLE UK for capturing my outfit!
My make up storage!
So as you guys may have seen on my instagram and snapchat, I've been obsessed with my new make up storage! I've waited years for a Kim K inspired make up cube and I finally found a great company that does them! I spent my afternoon organising my make up and for someone who was never into 'beauty' I'm starting to get more enjoyment out of it and wanted some place to keep my make up tidy. With out this cube before - my make up was all over the floor and in the bathroom. This beautiful cube is from Glamour Living. A company actually based in the UK! Everything is handmade here and the quality is insane!
On the site there are 3 choices of sizes to accommodate how much make up you have. I know I didn't have as much as a usual beauty blogger but I decided to go for the biggest size so that I would have space to fill it up over the next few years. When it arrived it came in a huge ass box and I thought that I wasn't going to be able to fit it in my room but thank god it was just padded up! With these vibes being made of acrylic Plexiglass, you have to be extra careful when unwrapping it and placing on the surface. I treated this cube like it was my child and did not want anyone to touch it besides myself - starting to be a crazy make up lady now. I just love how classic, minimal and organised everything is! It also comes with dividers as you can see above which makes life so much easier. I've actually just ordered more dividers to separate more items in the draws too.
I've also got the brush holder - which I've turned half into what it's actually meant to be for and the other half I'm storing all my lip liners in. I thought it was a pretty good idea as I didn't have as much brushes as I though. Also the same for my make up collection. By organising everything I thought I had way more but surprising myself I've only filled up about 1/3 of the cube! This excites me though - I've been buying more make up to fill in and play around with so look out for a beauty haul coming soon!
So if you are looking for a minimal way to store all of your beauty bits (maybe even jewellery too) then definitely check out Glamour Living! Other than cubes there are also perfume trays and lipstick storage! Also get 10% off with my code
