LIFESTYLE: POPPYFIELD PHOTOSHOOT

Outfits: Amelia- Dress ; Next Cardigan - M&S Me- Dress: New Look Cardigan: Primark  


We went along to this beautiful poppy field the other day and took some photos of Amelia. We love being outdoors and it was nice to wander around the field and get some nice photos of us all. I think we are all getting so bored of lockdown now and i'm trying to plan little trips out but it's so hard when places aren't fully open or don't have toilets. Amelia is potty trained so we've been bringing her potty out with us but it's hard to be out for longer than a couple of hours. We have a couple of National Trust days out booked for next week which i'm looking forward to. The weather is hopefully going to pick up a bit next week too so we might be able to go round and chill in my moms garden.









LIFESTYLE: NEW YEAR, NEW ME!

DRESS: FEMME LUXE FINERY // BAG: ACCESSORIZE // BRACELET : DAISY LONDON // BOOTS: NEW LOOK 

How gorgeous is this dress from Femme Luxe Finery I have it in 3 colours and i've worn it so much over the festive season as it's so easy to wear and it's super warm and toasty because it's so thick and cosy. 

Today I'm starting my diet and want to try and loose some weight. I'm doing it for the health benefits and for a better mindset. I'm going to be following a slimming world/ healthy eating plan. 

This year i'm also going to concentrate on my mental health as I feel like this has taken abit of a back seat. I'm going to spend more time on myself like taking a bath, reading a book just some time for me. I feel like I burnt myself just before Christmas. 

I also want to concentrate abit more on my relationship with Clint as I feel like we haven't really had much time to ourselves recently. We are planning a few days out and just want to spend some time just the two of us. 

Happy New Year 













FASHION: MY FAVOURITE SUMMER TRENDS

We have been having some seriously gorgeous weather so I wanted to share a few of my favourite summer trends and picks from the highstreet right now!

I've always been a lover of a good summery dress and I tend to wear a lot of dresses throughout the summer, I have actually found myself reaching for comfy tshirts and jeans or culottes right now so I need to buy a few nice dresses for the summer months.

I love this Khaki shirt dress, I think this would look fab with some tan sandals and a pretty round straw bag. I love midi length dresses and think they really suit me, they are also perfect for the UK as sometimes it's warm enough for a dress but I don't necessarily want to get my legs out. 

Here's another lovely midi length dress, this one is a little more casual. I'm loving the whole buttons down the front trend this summer. There's some really gorgeous tops and dresses with pretty button detailing on which is such a nice addition to a casual top or dress. I love this rust colour as it really suits me and is a nice transitional colour from summer into autumn,

I love this plunge tie detailing on these dresses and tops right now, I think the bow detailing is so lovely and again add's a little subtle detail so a nice simple dress or top. Head over to www.upbra.com to check out their line of Upbra® Cleavage Enhancing bras, they use the new patented ActiveLift® technology to give more cleavage to smaller cup sizes and more lift to women with larger cup sizes, better than any other bra. These dresses will look so much better with a well fitted plunge style bra that gives a great cleavage.

I love this pink /blush culotte jumpsuit and think it would be gorgeous dressed up with some high sandals or dressed down with a pair of flat sandals for the days time.

I love sandals and I always buy a few new pairs of sandals each summer. I work in retail and wear sandals every single day of the summer even if it's raining as they look good with my work dresses and my feet get too hot in anything else. I love these Rose gold sandals, they would look soo good with any of these outfits, I really like these little black western sandals too and would pair these with something like white polka dot tie dress.

I don't know what it is about dungaree dresses but every year I want to get one. I think they look super cute with a little stripe tee and a pair of converse, the perfect summer/ festival trend. 

So yeah i'm loving these summer trends and these are so bits that i'm loving right now, I really want to buy the Rust midi dress and I love the mustard top with the white button down midi skirt. What are your favourite summer trends?

FASHION: BOOHOO POPPY ASYMMETRIC DRESS


DRESS: BOOHOO* // BAG: ACCESSORIZE //  SHOES: NEW LOOK // BRACELET: DAISY LONDON // SUNGLASSES: PRIMARK 

How gorgeous is this dress from Boohoo.com?  I think it's such a lovely versatile piece. It's a midi length and a skater style. It's an asymmetric style so longer on one side than the other. I'm quite short but I think the length is really nice and the shorter side sit's quite nice on the knee. It's a scuba material so has some stretch to it and I found it true to size. It has a belt which brings it in at the waist making which is very flattering.

I think its a lovely dress that you can easily dress up and down. I've styled it with a leopard print camera bag and my tan heels. These heels are quite casual so perfect for that day to night look. I've styled the outfit in quite a smart/casual way, I think this would be perfect for those summer events like weddings, the races or afternoon tea. 

I think this is a dress that you can wear with a chunky cardi and tights in the cooler months and on it's own with sandals for a day out or even with a nice pair of heels and a clutch bag for a night out. 

The only thing is the colour isn't what I expected, I do like the colour but on the website it's more of a mustard shade but in real life it has a greenish tinge to it which was abit disappointing as I preferred the colour shown on the website.

FASHION: SPRING WISHLIST 2018






The BEAST FROM THE EAST may be here but fear not Spring is just around the corner (isn't it?) I hope the weather starts to warm up soon because i'm bored of being cold.

Here's some transitional pieces to see you into Spring 2018. First is this gorgeous Pink cardigan from River Island. I'm loving pink right now and this cardigan is perfect to layer up and keep warm but the perfect spring colour. I love the cable knit detail on the arms, it's so cute.

I spotted this bag in Accessorize at a blog event I attended at the Bullring Birmingham Accessorize store. I just love a backback and this lovely blush pink colour is just lovely. Very nude/ natural so will go with everything. Adds a little colour to any outfit. I think backpacks are going to be on trend into spring/summer.

I'm loving this blue floral shirt dress from Fashionworld.co.uk . It's just such a lovely print, i'm a big fan of the blue stripe detail on the shirt too. It ties at the waist so is super flattering. This would look perfect with bare legs and some cute little tan boots like these ones from Office or you could wear it with jeans or leggings if you don't want to have your legs out.

This stripe jumper is from New Look, i'm loving all of the contrasting stripes. I think stripes is such a spring trend. I love the different shades of pink/ peach and the black and white breaks up the colour which is lovely.

How cute are these pink trainers, i've been looking for a pair of blush pink trainers for a while. There's so many pairs to choose from, I love the suede puma's and I've seen a cute pair of converse. I was just browsing Office and spotted these gorgeous Ted Baker pumps, they are lovely just such a lovely pair of pumps perfect if you like to wear a comfy shoe, I think these would look lovely with a nice pair of blue jeans.

FASHION: BRITISH SUMMER WISHLIST


Today's post is a British summer wishlist, we've been having some rubbish weather the past few days so I thought i'd pop a few warmer pieces on my wishlist and share them with you. As you may or may not know i'm pregnant so some of these bits are maternity wear however some bits are not and just normal sizing.

I'm loving this blush pink colour right now and I love this pink skater maternity dress from Topshop. It's just a pretty colour and would be very easy to wear, you could even wear it with tights and a cardigan in the Autumn months.
I've included this Tiba and Marl changing bag/ weekend bag as I really like it and have been looking for a nice changing bag, I like that it's black and would go well with everything. It's a really good size so would easily fit all my bits and pieces for baby inside and would be a great hospital bag. 
Next is this really cute top from New Look, this isn't a maternity style but it would go over my bump and this top is a steal! It's only £7.99 so if you like it go and order it because it won't be around for long. 
I need some new maternity jeans so i've picked out these ones from Topshop as I don't have any blue maternity jeans and I like the ripped knee and distressed look of these and they are in the sale. 
How cute are these little sandals from New Look, the look so easy to wear, maybe not weather appropriate for all the rain we've had but so cute for those warmer days. 
Another blush pink item I know!! This cardigan from Asos is so cute though, I love the colour and it looks so snug and comfy perfect for those colder days, it would be easy to throw on over some jeans and a cute t-shirt. 
Finally, it's coming up to my birthday and I usually ask for a new watch, I haven't been wearing my watches much recently but this Olivia Burton one is so cute, I love the little bee's and the grey strap is very versatile and easy to wear. 

So that's my wishlist for this month, I will be putting together another wishlist next month for my birthday month! Let me know what you think of these bits and send over links to your wishlists. 


OUTFIT: WHAT I WORE TO MY CHRISTMAS PARTY


DRESS: THERAPY c/o House of Fraser * // SANDALS: ZARA // NECKLACE: ALEXI *//WATCH: ROSEFIELD 
BAG: ZARA // BRACELET: MICHAEL KORS* 

So it's Christmas!! That means Christmas parties, work do's and New Years. This is one of those perfect dresses that's a great all rounder! 

Everyone needs a little black dress and with the Cold Shoulder trend still going strong this is just perfect.

The material is lovely, it's a stretchy material but it's not your usual jersey style dress. 

The length is great and would work well on most heights, i'm quite short so it sits on the knee but it's a decent length for most people. 

I teamed the dress with my favourite heels from Zara, I think these look great on a night out. I wore my new Rosefield watch and my Michael Kors bracelet which I wear for special occasions. 
I love my little black bag from Zara, it fits my phone and debit cards perfectly. 

 I curled my hair using my Lee Stafford Long Tong to finish the look and went for a natural smokey eye with a dark nude lipstick, this is Mac Taupe which is a matte finish.

This dress is actually on offer right now on the House of Fraser website and they have stock lots of other dresses from Therapy too so check them out here.

OUTFIT POST: LOVEDROBE DIAMOND PRINT SKATER DRESS



DRESS: LOVEDROBE AT SIMPLY BE * // BELT: H&M // SANDALS: PRIMARK(OLD) // SUNGLASSES : PRIMARK // CHOKER: JOHNNY LOVES ROSIE * // WATCH: JOHNNY LOVES ROSIE*

Another outfit post!! I've been trying to get back into outfit posts for a little while now. The weathers been lovely recently so there's really no excuse apart from I just haven't had the time. 

Today i'm wearing this skater dress from Simply Be, I thought i'd team it with a tan plaited belt and some little tan sandals and think it looks so good. The dress is a light chiffon material and has a black underskirt layer. Simply Be have lots of other plus size skater dresses on their website as well as this one. I have been a huge fan of skater dresses for a long time as they always look flattering on my body shape. I've got big boobs and big legs/bum so think the skater style suits me. I wear a lot more body-con and fitted styles now that i've lost weight but I still feel a skater style suits my shaping. I love the cold shoulder style of this dress and think it's so flattering, I really want to add a few more cold shoulder style tops/ dresses to my wardrobe (late to the bandwagon) I wasn't sure about the colouring of this dress when I un-packaged it however I think it looks so much better on and I think with a decent tan it would look incredible. The colours are actually perfect transition shades and will be perfect for Autumn. You could easily pop a pair of tights and a chunky knit cardigan over the top of this dress and pair it with some suede effect chelsea boots!! 

I've popped on another new choker from Johnny Loves Rosie which I love, I think chokers just add a little something to an outfit. I feel it makes the dress more boho style and would be a perfect festival outfit. I'd team the dress with some suede effect cowboy style boots and a tassel bag for that ultimate festival vibe! 









FASHION: SUMMER WEDDING OUTFIT IDEAS

With the summer upon us and the school holidays are about to start and so is summer wedding season. I thought i'd put together some outfit ideas for him and her. 

I love dressing up for a wedding, it's an excuse to go and and buy and whole new outfit. I picked out some pretty summery dresses. Pastels are always a good shout for a summer wedding. This pretty floral dress from New Look is a gorgeous print and a really pretty colour. I find bodycon styles like this are really flattering on me as I have an hourglass figure. 

These pale blue shoes from Topshop are so pretty, I love the colour and the wooden heel is lovely, I think they would be really comfy, perfect for a wedding.

I picked out this stripe dress from Topshop which is a lovely shape, I am a huge fan of  stripes. I'd wear this with these gorgeous strappy sandals from Kurt Geiger, these are such a stunning pair of sandals which you could wear time after time. 

I love this embellished bag from Accessorize, it's perfect for the summer wedding/ prom season. 

For the Guys

When it comes down to outfits for mens for weddings it's all about that perfect suit. There's some really lovely suits out there so I thought i'd share some inspiration with you. 

This Noose and Monkey suit is a really classic style I love the contrasting Velvet Lapel and I love the skinny fit of the jacket. It's a really nice quality suit that would be perfect for any occasion. Noose and Monkey have some really unique suits and shirts so check out their SS16 lookbook here to see their latest styles. 

I'm a sucker for a grey suit, this one from Topman would look fab with a nice skinny fit shirt and a grey bow tie like this one from Noose and Monkey. 

A pair of brown/ tan brogues are a great staple for any summer occasion, you can pop them on with any colour suit and they look smart but trendy. I really like brogues and think they are a classic style.

I love a check shirt, with a nice blazer to dress it up or on its own with jeans/ or trousers and some braces for a more casual occasion.
