My dress- V Neck Embroidered Lace Midi Dress in Blue* 

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?

Today's post is a review of these Nursing bras from a brand called Bravado* who specialise in Maternity and Nursing bras. To be honest I wasn't very sure if these would fit me as I have very big boobs but was happy to give them a go and I thought they would come in handy for in the house and through the night if they were a little snug.

Before I was pregnant I was wearing a 30FF and i'm now 27 weeks and already wearing 34GG, i'm still wearing wired bras and having them regularly checked at Bravissimo but finding towards the end of the day they are feeling uncomfortable and I just want to take my bra off. I have been reaching for these non-wired bras whilst i'm at home so that i'm getting a little bit of support.

I opted for the Seamless nursing bra in Latte as this is a very nude shade and I though this would work well under lighter colours which it does. I like that the cups are very smooth and seamless so they are really easy to wear under t-shirts. These have nursing clips which will be perfect for when baby is here as I plan on breastfeeding. In the mean time i've been wearing these around the house on my days off or when I get home from work as they are so comfortable. The straps adjust really easily so you can tighten or loosen them to your desired length. The material is really soft and stretchy so it moulds to your shape.

I've also got the same style in the grey Yoga version which again is so so comfy and really easy to wear as it sits smooth under my clothes. You get a little lift and a nice round shape which I like as sometimes with non-wired styles I think the shape can be pointy.

I've been wearing both styles at home and i've been shopping and to my parents wearing them and honestly they are so comfy and give a little support. My boobs are big so I'm still wearing my wired bras for work and if i'm out for a while as I feel like I need that bit more support but these are great when I just want to be comfortable.

When your boobs are fluctuating it's good to opt for a non-wired bra as it's safer so towards the end of my pregnancy and when i'm nursing I will be wearing non-wired bras all the time and I would recommend the Bravado ones as they are really comfy and easy to wear. They have a good selection of colours, I would say they are practical and not that pretty but most nursing bras are very plain anyway.

Overall i'm really happy with these, the material is really soft and I think they will last well. I will probably buy a couple in the next size as I'm wearing the L and they fit me well now but I expect my boobs will get bigger towards the end of my pregnancy and when baby is here and my milk comes in properly. Based on their size chart I only needed a M so I would say to size up as I went for the L and it fits perfectly. Obviously as baby isn't here yet I haven't been using the Nursing clips but i'll let you know how I get on when i'm using this style for nursing.

I was very very excited when I heard Panache were releasing the Jasmine in a charcoal animal print, I was so excited to see it in real life, so as soon as I did I knew it had to be mine.

The Jasmine is a very similar fit to the Panache Envy which is one of my favourite bras! Its a balconnet bra that gives a fuller coverage. The animal print is gorgeous! I think it looks very classy considering its a animal print bra, the charcoal and black colours make it a very practical bra. You could wear it as you would a black bra. I love the lace, I think its my favourite thing about this bra, the lace just makes the bra look sexier!

The Jasmine has side panels which push the breasts forward and then the seams underneath create a great lift. I love the shape it gives, it's a nice rounded shape.

The Jasmine comes in sizes up to a K which I love as it gives ladies with a bigger bust something sexy but supportive to choose from. I find the Jasmine fits very true to size, I have gone for my usual size and it fits perfectly.

If you have ever tried a Panache bra before you may know the wires tend to come up a little higher in the front and behind the breasts (under the arm) I have a few Panache bras so I know this doesn't bother me at all however I know that this bothers some people. You can see in the photos where the wires come up to so maybe use this as a guide.

You can buy the Jasmine online from www.Mish-Online.co.uk for £28.99 and it comes with a matching brief that looks so comfy!

I'm at home today trying to get some blogging down and maybe some uni work. I go back to uni tomorrow which i'm really not happy about. I seriously can't wait for it to be over. I have a few things to look forward to which are keeping me going. I've booked a weekend away with clint for his birthday, were staying in a cottage in wales which i'm very excited about. Then we have our holiday at the end of June, we are going to Tenerife.

I wasn't going to do an outfit post today, I had every intention of staying in my pj's all day but never mind. I did my hair in this cute festival style braid so then I decided to go for this chic festival look. I love my kimono but i've only worn it a handful of times. I'm hoping to bring it on holiday with me and maybe wear it by the pool etc. I picked this bag up a couple of weeks for my holiday, its such a lovely zig-zag pattern. It's a really nice size so i'll be able to fit my essentials in it. It was only £10 from Peacocks. I had to pick up these jellies from Primark the other day. I've been looking for a pair for awhile, I actually picked these up in Primark in Selfridges Birmingham as they sold out really fast! I had been looking at the JuJu ones but wasn't sure if I would wear them enough to justify spending £20+ I'm not normally one for heels but these are so comfy. I might get a flat pair still but don't know what colour to go for.

So I ordered some new blog business cards last week because I've had a blog make over and completely changed my header so decided some new cards were in order.

I've been following instantprint on twitter for awhile and have been impressed with the quality of their cards that i'd seen other people buy. I was tempted to order one of their free samples but I decided to just go ahead and order the cards.

You can make your own design or pick one of their templates. I made my own little design using some features from my blog design. I added the blue border to make them less boring. I loved my last lot of cards so I wanted to make these ones cute and I'm really happy with them.

I payed £12 for 100 cards which I though was really good, they had a free delivery offer on at the time. I payed alot more for my last lot of business cards for half the amount so I was very happy with my order. I think they are a great value for money.

I would really recommend Instantprint, the postage was very quick and the quality is very very good. I'm so so happy and I think they are a really good value for money.

I need to order some Artist ones for my degree show so I will be placing another order with Instantprint.co.uk
