I have not done one of these posts in probably a few years but nonetheless, here are my favourites for the month of January (and the tail end of December too). 

1. Mango bag 

This is definitely a dupe for the Alaia 'Le Teckel' bag but I just loved the silhouette of it and I have been looking for a deep chocolate brown bag for the longest time. I love that it has 2 little zips which can be used to get in and out of the bag, the long straps are so beautiful, and the faux croc texture just adds a little interest. 

2. L'occitane hand cream 

At first I could not justify spending over £20 on a handcream but honestly once I tried it I understood why everyone has been using this one in particular for years. I really like the fact that it does not leave your hands feeling oily or greasy but instead it deeply nourishes your hands. 

3. Silkie hair comb  & 4. Lush 'curl power'

I have wanted an acrylic hair comb, in particular in tortoise shell, for the longest time purely for aesthetic reasons, of course. Since getting my hair cut this has been really useful in detangling my hair because of its wide teeth. 

Ever since discovering I have curly hair I have been trying to condition and look after my curls and this has been amazing for it. First of all, it smells amazing to the point where I want to eat. Second of all, it leaves your hair feeling super hydrated. Third of all, I am all for supporting businesses that use natural ingredients in their products. 

5. Huda Beauty lip gloss in 'bombshell' 

I love the way this gloss looks on your lips and the colour is absolutely gorgeous. It pairs really well with nudes, pinks, and browns. Its not sticky at all and lasts really nicely throughout the day.

 Here are a few things I have been recently eyeing for quite sometime online: 

1. Summer Fridays dream lip oil - 'Blush dreams' 

Lip oils are all the rage and have been for quite sometime, I love the look of this one and have seen it floating around on Instagram. It looks perfect for when you want a little something on your lips and being able to apply it without needing a mirror is always a bonus for me. 

2. BYFJ - Naila abaya 

I absolutely love the Winter 23 collection from BYFJ which includes their thicker winter abayas that can be worn as an abaya or a coat on top of your abaya or clothes. This one in particular is super timeless with a built-in wrap-around scarf. 

3. Daisy - triple bead chain bracelet 

Now as someone who is slowly starting to build her silver jewellery collection after being a gold girlie for as long as I can remember to match with my wedding bands, I love the look of this elegant triple bead bracelet from Daisy. They have it in gold too, which is beautiful. 

4. H&M - textured slingbacks 

These look so pretty for the upcoming spring months and because of the small kitten heel they look incredibly comfortable to wear. I like how they are quite simple in texture and colour because it just means you can wear them with so much more, dressy or casual. 

5. Mango - double strap bag 

I like the minimalist structure of this bag and it most definitely gives The Row Margaux bag vibes with the clean leather look and long strap handles. This is a lot smaller than that bag, nonetheless, it looks great for pairing with daytime or evening outfits.
