My Favourite Apps

Merry Christmas Eve from Miami!  I hope everyone is enjoying the festivities and getting excited for the big day tomorrow.  It's so different being here than in London where I have spent every Christmas so far!  Follow my Instagram to keep up with my 3 week America trip @wonky_lauren

Today I thought I'd share with you my favourite apps.  So if you're chilling out today or maybe a little bored waiting for tomorrow then try these out!

Pingit from Barclays

I bank with Barclays and this is their online banking app with allows you to check your account balance at any time which is great for when I'm travelling so I don't overspend! You can also send money or transfer it via the app.

Blogger

My website is powered by Blogger so I downloaded the app on my iPhone and iPad which I find great for adding photos straight from my phone.

Three

My phone network is with 3 and this app allows me to keep a track of my data allowance, minutes and texts.  I also love the network 3 because I travel a lot and it doesn't charge me anything extra to use my phone abroad.

Whatsapp

I have a love/hate with Whatsapp but with my boyfriend living in America it's a great way for us to communicate without getting a hefty bill.  I also really love that you can make calls on it, I only discovered that recently!

BlogLovin

I don't use this as much because I prefer the website but it is good for when you're on the go or travelling.

Facebook/Instagram/Twitter

I put these altogether because I think everyone and their dog has accounts so no need to explain.  Feel free to follow me @wonky_lauren or search Wonky Lauren on Facebook :)

National Rail/Tube Map

Living in London I get around a lot on trains and tubes so having this app is essential to helping me get to places.

Around Me

I've had this app for years now and I still love it.  It basically lets you know all the places around you and even works abroad.  I use it for calling cabs when I'm in different parts of the country or for finding places to eat in Europe or America.

Sky+

I don't get a chance to watch much TV during the week so I record everything and watch it at the weekend.  This app allows me to record stuff straight from my phone.





Dream Days

I used to think apps like this were stupid.  Until I was in a long distance relationship and now it's nice knowing exactly how many months/weeks/days I have until we reunite!

BBC News

I rarely go on here but I like getting notifications of big news reports pop up to keep me in the know.

iTorch

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

eBay

I buy and sell on eBay every now and then so this app is good for when things are about to go off but you're on the move.

Minicabster/Uber

Both great apps for booking cabs and comparing prices.

Prezzo

My favourite restaurant.  I know, so cheap and cheerful but I love good Italian food and I could seriously eat here every week.  This app keeps you up to date with all the offers and new menus.

Moldiv

I use this app for putting photo collages together.

Currency XE

This is a great currency converter app and so quick and easy to use.  I use this where I travel a lot or buy things online from the US to send to my boyfriend!

Picfx

I use this app to create cool effects on my photos such as sparkly bits etc.

What are your favourite apps?  I'm always looking for more to download!

My Favourite Looks From Fashion Week

Last month was 'Fashion Month' with showcases and catwalks taking place each week in different locations across London, New York, Paris and Milan.  Although I have been attending London Fashion Week for several years now, this time around I was in California and unfortunately could not attend any shows. However, that did not stop me from catching up once I was back from my trip to check out all the latest trends.  I was also browsing the   Esprit website   and noticed they had some awesome pieces just like the trends seen on the runway last month. Here are some of my favourites that I think are going to be hot this season and where you can copy the looks for less! Floral prints at Gucci.  You can shop the look for less here . All black at Marc Jacobs.  Shop the look for less here . Bows at Chloe.  Shop the look for less here . Sparkles at Alexander McQueen.  Shop the look for less here . Not only does   Esprit   do runway trends for

New Year, New You

As with every New Year, we make resolutions (you can see mine in my last post) but I think for most of us it's about becoming a newer and better person than we were last year.  I've come up with a few ways we can make little changes to become a newer and better you. New Hair I've said in many of my posts how much I like to change my hair and you can read about my hair dying experience here and my hair extensions experience here .  However, it needn't be a drastic change, just a little trim and some subtle highlights .  Whenever I change my hair I always feel like a new woman! New Wardrobe The New Year is probably the best time to invest in some new clothes because there are so many sales on.  You don't even have to spend a lot of money, I love affordable brands such as Esprit which do really on trend pieces at high street prices.  With a new wardrobe you will not only feel better but look better too!

How to Wear a Pink Lip

Wearing a pink lip can sometimes be quite hard, especially if it's a rather bright and vibrant shade but I think it looks so lovely for this time of the year. My favourite shade of pink is Impassioned by MAC .  It's very bright and has such a creamy texture that it glides on really well and stays put for quite a few hours.  I find I never have to wear a lip liner with this one either. When wearing a pink lip I think it's important to get the rest of your make up right so that you don't look washed up and colours don't clash. So starting off with the skin I would get myself nice and tanned.  My favourite tanners at the moment are the Superdrug Solait tan in dark and also Tan Truth which you can get from Sally's Salon Services.  Where I have just come back from Ibiza I have still got a bit of a tan so every few days I use the St Tropez Everyday gradual tanner and this helps top up my tan slightly. Then you've got to get the make-up right so
