Anne Marie Lodge, @ReallyRee
Ree started her blog, ReallyRee.com in 2010. She had a passion for all things beauty and wanted to share it with as many people as possible and a blog seemed the ideal way of doing it. She was thrilled and surprised when she initially started to get her first few readers to the blog; now those few readers have grown in to half a million readers a month and Ree blog has become the biggest beauty blog in the UK and one of the most trafficked in the world. Ree called the site ReallyRee because she felt she wanted to keep it real for her readers and always write about beauty in an honest and accessible way for ordinary people like her who just wanted to look their very best.
Our Mission: To keep beauty and style real for all our readers

After graduating with a First Class Honours degree in Fashion Management from the London College of Fashion, I established my career within the luxury British fashion house; Mulberry. Working within the Marketing department, I was constantly infatuated by the world of fashion and luxury, as well as my love for beauty, food and travel so I spent my evenings searching endlessly through Pinterest and Instagram for visual inspiration. I craved all things stylish and so in August 2014 at the age of 19, I decided to start Fashion Mumblr, this creative outlet that Im now head-over-heels in love with! Since then I have transformed this little passion into a full-time business and am honoured to be pursuing my dreams at the age of 23.
Im a little obsessed with anything visually appealing, so youíll find all kinds of details here, from pretty home snippets, to my favourite beauty products and I hope you will find something that you love. I hope youll also enjoy my curation of my favourite details over on my new shop section too!

I’m Victoria a thirty something Essex girl who enjoys sharing her love of all things beauty and lifestyle here at Florence and Mary.By day I work full time in London in an industry as far removed from beauty as you can get but at weekends the copious amounts of tea and spreadsheets are replaced with wine and playing with lipsticks.
Blogging has been part of my life for over five years and in that time my blog has developed and change with my interests, some of you may even remember my crafting endeavors and car boot sale hauls.
Now I’m more likely to be sharing the details of my latest holiday, a new burger restaurant or the latest contouring product. Moving into beauty blogging has been a great way to discover brands both new and old and put the products to practice in the ‘real world’ whether that’s make up that’s easily applied on the train or testing whether that foundations claims to last 8 hours will see me through a day in the office and a night out in a club.
I also love Flamingos and Pineapples, I know not why but I do and they will pop up from time to time and keep sending the links of products you see, I love how many of you think of me when you see something.
