December 11, 2020 by Erica Hughes Leave a Comment

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, most people had to work from home and minimise outdoor activities. With so many future uncertainties, it is okay to feel anxious and unhappy. Unfortunately, too much worry can drive you into depression. An effective way to uplift your mood is to pamper yourself with luxurious gifts. Here are a few gift ideas that will put a smile on your face:

leather, bagA Gorgeous Handbag

If you love trendy fashion accessories, then you’ve come to the right place. Who doesn’t love a bag to put you in the best mood ever?! For a gorgeous pick-me-up, you can check out sites like Mirta, that offers beautiful, top quality Italian handbags. Bags and leather goods from Italy are famous for their genuine leather and stylish finishes. You can opt for a cross-body design or a handle bag with your favourite colours!  Apart from woven and full-grain leather, you can buy an eco-friendly faux sheepskin handle bag and feel a little bit better about your shopping habits. It’s like getting Italy delivered to your door!

Humidifying Oil Diffuser

Staying indoors for extended periods can dampen your mood. However, a pleasant fragrance can change the environment and lighten up the ambience in your house. That is why you need to invest in a humidifying oil diffuser with light settings to represent various fragrances. Cinnamon perfume is a favourite and has a pleasant holiday scent, so your house will not be stuffy1

Chic Sunglasses

Sunglasses are handy for outdoor activities and give a bold fashion statement. Pamper yourself with a pair of chic and stylish sunglasses. What’s better than an oh-so-glamorous pair of Celine square cat-eye sunglasses, that are perfect for outdoor adventures like walking in the park or going to the beach! You can also find a less expensive, more budget friendly pair anywhere online, there are so many cool sites now offering filters so you can try on products from your home.

Shampoo Scalp Massager and Hair Treatment

Nothing is more relaxing than massaging your scalp or treating your hair. When you cannot visit a beauty salon for a stunning hair cut or massage, you can achieve the same relaxation by investing in a scalp shampoo or leave-in conditioner! You can use the shampoo to exfoliate and massage your scalp when washing your hair. When you apply the shampoo with your fingers, it will to the hair roots and thoroughly cleans your scalp. You can try many treatments from lines such as Aveda, or the Ouai, to name a few.

You can also pair your necklace with matching gold Hoops to make it an extra treat! The luxury associated with a gold piece is a sure way to brighten your mood and it’s something you’ll have forever.

Katch Me

At this time of year as it gets colder and especially now we are in part way through a lockdown, it’s all about warmth and comfort.  Feeling warm and comfortable is great, but I do like to be able to have all that with a bit of style too.  It might seem like having your cake and eating it, but I really think that’s it’s very possible to have good quality, warm, comfortable clothes that look great on too. Luckily Katch Me are here to provide just the sort of clothing that I’m looking for this year.

I’ve really been very impressed with Katch Me’s collection of coats and jackets.  I’ve picked out the most gorgeous black denim jacket with a glorious fake fur collar and cuffs.  Inside it’s fleecey lined, so this is just the thing to keep you warm when you are out and about.  For the ultimate cosy look team up with a big jumper, black denim jeans and black boots. Keep the warmth in with a zip fastening and because it’s oversized, you can fit in lots of layers or a jumper.  It’s got front pockets too to store your things or just shove your hands in to keep them out of the cold.

Loungewear has really become my thing this year and I’ve invested in a lot more pieces, so I can be comfortable when I’m working from home.  For me comfort has really become the driving force behind what I choose to wear at home.  Loungewear can mean a lot of different things to different people.  If you have the heating turned up high, or don’t feel the cold, you might prefer to hang out in shorts and little crop tops.  If you feel the cold though, you’re probably heading for thicker fabrics, covering up and soft, warm cuddly clothes.  Whatever you are after Katch Me have just the thing.

I choose some black joggers with white piping to wear this autumn. These black joggers have a classic straight leg with a comfortable drawstring waist.  Down the side of each leg there’s some white piping.  Team up with a tee and chunky trainers for a comfy and cute vibe. The great thing about black joggers is that they look just as good with a splash of colour or you can go for a more monochrome look if you prefer – either looks great.

Knitwear and cosy fleeces have been another type of clothing that I’ve invested in this season. I’ve picked out this white leopard print teddy hoodie with cuffed sleeves. This gorgeous white jumper comes in an all-over super soft teddy material. This oversized style helps to keep you looking cute but feeling super cosy. Rock this everyday by teaming it with your fave high waist jeans and knee length boots.  It’s so soft, fluffy and cosy, it will make you feel better on the coldest, greyest of days. I’m loving how if feels and looks, plus I’ve had quite a few compliments about it when I’ve been wearing it.

Katch Me

After this year’s gorgeous spring and summer, moving into the autumn season has proved to be a bit of a shock to the system for all of us I think.  Now that the initial shock of the colder temperatures is out of the way, I’ve been looking closely at my wardrobe to see what’s needed.  I’ve been enjoying picking out some transition pieces to take me into autumn and the winter beyond.

A shopping haul is just the way to treat myself and take away all that end of summer gloom: retail therapy wins for me every time. Today my haul is from Katch Me. This is my first time browsing and shopping with Katch me. I’m really impressed that they stock so many amazing items and styles. They really are a head of the curve fashion wise.

Keeping warm at this time of year is key for me and I loved the selection of coats and jackets at Katch Me.  I picked out a supersoft, super warm, teddy bear jacket in a very festive looking dark red. This teddy style jacket is casual and comfortable to wear. I love the easy zip front and generous front pockets which are perfect for keeping hands warm. The oversized fit of this jacket helps to keep you cosy. I think I’ll be teaming this up with either a pair of jeans or maybe a pair of leggings and some boots.

I’m really loving the oversized look this year, so I was after some lounge wear to fit the bill and match this look.  I picked out this fab white oversized ‘Fear’ print hoodie as one of my favourites.  This dazzlingly white hoodie comes in an oversized fit and features a black printed ‘fear’ slogan on the front.  I especially love the idea of teaming the hoodie up with some black vinyl patent leggings and some killer heels.

Next up I picked out a comfy lounge wear set to manage the transition of the seasons to autumn.  It really is a must have for your wardrobe. Super comfy to wear and really versatile I’m loving this super cute grey boxy T-Shirt and joggers lounge set. This grey co-ord features a boxy fit t-shirt and super soft, elasticated joggers. It’s perfect for chilling out at home or out and about, or popping to the shops. The light grey goes with almost any thing, but would look great teamed with black and white accessories.  You can either pick out some white or black trainers for a sporty look or maybe opt for black heels to dress it up a bit.  They are nicely cut and very flattering to wear.

I found all the items were true to size and was very happy with the fit. You really can’t lose with Katch Me prices and quality so why not check them out and let me know what you order.

I hope you have enjoyed this little haul. Check back in soon for more great fashion hauls.
