FASHION: SUMMER FASHION PICKS

14 May 2018

PLAYSUIT: QUIZ US // STRAW BAG: TOPSHOP // SHOES: OFFICE // TSHIRT: RIVER ISLAND // STRIPE JUMPSUIT: BOOHOO // ROSE GOLD SHOES : BOOHOO // ORANGE TROUSERS: RIVER ISLAND // POLKA DOT PLAYSUIT: BOOHOO

It's starting to actually feel like summer woohoo! I'm feeling very inspired and really want to go out and get some new summery additions for my wardrobe. I thought i'd share a few bits and pieces that i'm loving right now!

First up how cute and summery is this playsuit from Quiz, it's gorgeous! I love the green and white and think you could easily dress this up or down depending on what accessories you went for. They have a really good selection of playsuits and dresses perfect for the summer. Quiz is expanding to the US for any of my US readers.

Next up is this jumpsuit from Boohoo, again I think you could dress this up or down. I love stripes and I would add some colour to this by wearing a brightly coloured bag and shoes.

How gorgeous are these Rose Gold sandals from Boohoo. I love the colour and the style and think they are such a versatile piece to add to my collection.

These Orange paper bag trousers are a little out of my comfort zone but absolutely gorgeous! I'm trying to be a little bit braver with my clothing choices. I feel like i'm a little bit stuck in a rut with my fashion.

Straw bags are so on trend this summer so this cute lobster one from Topshop would make a lovely addition to any bag collection.

This cute little tshirt is from River Island and I tried it on the other day and it's just lovely. I love the pearl detailing which makes it so cute and a little bit nicer than your basic white tee.

The polka dot playsuit is from Boohoo and I'm just a little obsessed with polka dots right now and I love a good playsuit so i'd love something like this.

I'm loving mustard right now and recently bought a similar pair of mustard shoes, I think they add a really nice pop of colour to an outfit, you can see how I styled my pair of mustard sandals in my latest outfit post.

FASHION: BRITISH SUMMER WISHLIST

11 August 2017

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.

MY BIRTHDAY WISHLIST

12 August 2016

Bardot Top: Topshop // Cami : Topshop // Hairdryer: Dyson // Sponge: Real Techniques // Choker: Johnny Loves Rosie // Becca Palette: Space NK // Birkenstocks : Jones Bootmaker // Watch: Johnny Loves Rosie

My birthday is fast approaching! I'm going to be turning 24, I don't know where the years are going it's just flying by. This is going to be my first birthday since we've had the flat so I don't think our budget will stretch to anything too expensive. I thought i'd put together a wishlist and share a few bits i'd love to get for my birthday this year.

The Dyson hairdryer is out of our price range at just under £300 but would be such an amazing gift but very unrealistic. I love getting new clothes for my birthday, there's a couple of tops in Topshop that have caught my eye. I've wanted the stripe cami for a while now. I might go on a little shopping spree with my birthday money and pick up some new clothes. It would be nice to get some new clothes that actually fit, my wardrobe is full of clothes that are too big for me now. I watched a video about this new Real Techniques Diamond sponge today and it looks amazing. I've been thinking about picking up a make up sponge for a little while now so I might get one with my birthday money and give it ago. I already own a pair of Birkenstocks, i've been wearing them so much at work recently but I want to get a white pair, this pair from the Jones Bootmaker website would be perfect. As you know I went along to the Johnny Loves Rosie blogger event last week, you can read my blog post here. Since then i've been browsing their website as i'm loving their products. In particular I love this watch, I spotted it at the event it's gorgeous and I really want a choker, I love how dainty this one is and it would be perfect with lots of outfits. The Becca Palette is gorgeous and I love how pretty this is. I use my Becca Champagne Pop highlighter every single day so I think this palette would be such a great addition to my collection.

I love putting together wishlists and I know Clint always checks out my wishlists for some inspiration which I think is so cute. I always book a week off for my birthday and we usually go away on holiday but this year I think we are just going to chill together and do a few day trips etc maybe a weekend away so send over some ideas and whats on your wishlists right now?

FASHION: SUMMER WEDDING OUTFIT IDEAS

14 July 2016

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.

FASHION: JD WILLIAMS KHAKI SHIRT DRESS

17 May 2016

DRESS: JD WILLIAMS* // SANDALS :TOPSHOP (OLD) //SUNGLASSES: QUAY AUSTRALIA

Yesterday the weather was gorgeous so we headed out and took some outfit photos, i'm struggling taking outfit photos because of the shifts i've been working and them clashing with Clints shifts. This khaki shirt dress is gorgeous, it's so easy to throw on and I think it looks very summery with my sandals on. I think you could easily wear it with jeans/ leggings with a jacket in cooler weather. We spent today just running errands really. We had to do some food shopping and nipped to home bargains.

I love these Quay sunglasses that I picked up in TKMaxx, I really want to get myself another pair.

This shirt dress is from JD Williams and also comes in Black and a Burgundy shade. They also have a sleeveless one which would be perfect for the summer!

JD Williams have a huge range of summer dresses to choose from so be sure to head over to their website and check them out.

BEAUTY: PRETTY IN PINK THIS SPRING

13 March 2016

The sun has finally greated us with his presence, spring is here! I thought i'd share a few products that I think are perfect for spring. I love wearing pinks in spring and adding that glow to the skin.
One of my top picks for spring is Glow in Polished by Topshop, this is a gorgeous highlighter which you can use on the brow bone and cheekbone, aswell as any other areas you wish to highlight for a really subtle shimmer. It's such a gorgeous highlighter and so affordable. Clarins always have amazing Spring releases, check out my blog post featuring my 2016 favourites. The Clarins Instant light lip perfectors* are such a gorgeous natural lip color perfect for the spring. They are so soft and lovely on the lips. I absolutely love my Urban Decay Naked 3 palette when I want to use pink eyeshadow however I thought i'd share a couple of my Mac favourites, I love expensive pink, this is a gorgeous dark pink with gold shimmer. This is one of my absolute favourite eyeshadows. I picked up Mac Bouffant this time last year, I think it was a Limited Edition shade but this is a lovely light pink, it's a really light natural colour. I thought i'd pop the Nars Multiple in Undress me* in this blog post aswell, this is a gorgeous pink shimmery shade. I haven't used this much at all and would love to use it this spring. I thought i'd include the Ariana Grande perfume aswell, I've been using this loads recently, it's a nice sweet scent which is perfect for spring. I got this for Christmas and started using it a few weeks ago. I've been reaching for it everyday, it's such a lovely spring scent.

BEAUTY : MY EVERYDAY MAKE UP

22 January 2016

I've been working alot recently so my make ups been pretty boring, just an everyday make up look so I thought i'd share some of my favourite everyday products.

I like to start with my base so right now i'm using the Vichy Dermablend foundation in Porcelain* as my everyday foundation, it's good coverage and really easy to use. It blends so easily which is great for when your in a hurry in the morning. I like that this is a little lighter than my usual foundations because it looks really natural. I'm using the Urban Decay Naked skin concealer to hide any blemishes and then the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer for under my eyes to cover those dark circles.

Contour and highlight. I pretty much reach for this Nars Limited Edition palette, inside is the Laguna Bronzer which is perfect for everyday as its a matte ashy shade and then I have a choice of Blushers and the highlight all together again making my routine faster.

My favourite mascara right now, but it's nearly all gone is the Make Up Forever Smoky Lash *, it gives you nice fluffy smokey lashes. I love it. wish just a couple of strokes my lashes are long but full. I'm still loving the Topshop Kohl liner, I struggle as my eyes are sensitive but this is a lovely creamy liner, it lasts a good few hours and is a bargain. And another trusty faithful is the Rimmel Exaggerate eyes liquid liner, I only buy this liquid liner, I find it easy to apply and again I know my eyes won't react to it.

For my brows i'm using a mixture of the NYX Micro brow pencil, I picked up some NYX bits from The Clothes Show and now you can get it from Selfridges yay!! I'm also still loving the Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade to fill my brows in.

The Urban Decay Smoky palette is my new go to palette for everyday and there's so many shades to choose from.

And my favourite everyday lip colour is still Velvet Teddy from Mac, which I will need to repurchase soon as mine is looking a little worse for wear.

FASHION: OUTFIT POST - TOPSHOP FOREST GREEN DRESS

14 January 2016

DRESS: TOPSHOP // JACKET: NEW LOOK // SCARF: PRIMARK // BOOTS: NEW LOOK *

It was so so cold today! We went into Birmingham to look for a rug, we didn't manage to find anything. I know what I want but I don't really want to order one online as i'd like to see it in real life but i've looked everywhere. I love this green dress from Topshop, I have it in Black aswell, I picked up the Green one in the sale and the Black one was full price but it was only £20 which is a bargain.

I'm loving my outfit posts at the moment and I hope you are enjoying them.
