- [Boho Edge](https://laurakatelucas.com/2016/09/12/boho-edge/) - Despite not getting the best summer here in Manchester, the sun seems to still be trying and we are getting some gorgeous sunny September days before Autumn sets in.

- [A Winter Warmer](https://laurakatelucas.com/2015/11/18/a-winter-warmer/) - I am completely loving this snuggly Tiger Mist jumper at the moment. This is actually my first winter jumper purchase of the season, but I already know I will probably live in it as it's so cosy and comfortable. On milder days this is warm enough to wear instead of a jacket too.
- [Missguided May Must-Haves](https://laurakatelucas.com/2015/05/27/missguided-may-must-haves/) - Missguided is a site where I can ALWAYS find something I want. Without fail.

It all started when she was searching the internet for inspiration and couldn’t find anything that spoke to her; enter Into The Gloss, or ITG as it is now more commonly known. Emily created Into The Gloss; a blog where she interviewed models, makeup

- [Bleach London | White Toner](https://laurakatelucas.com/2015/11/04/bleach-london-white-toner/) - Bleach is a London-based hair salon that made a very successful leap into launching their own product line, and seems to be one of the few brands that offers a range of colours on the more ‘unusual’ end of the spectrum, in the main high-street stores. Having said that, hair that includes at least one

They also do a Jar version of this in some supermarkets,
- [Ace of Spades](https://laurakatelucas.com/2015/04/30/ace-of-spades/) - So life is finally sort of settling back down after my return from holiday. Is it just me or do you find that it always takes a couple of weeks to get back to normal after a vacation? You'd think you can just come back, unpack, do some washing and then you're done. That's what
