Khaki Swing


Good Afternoon Beauts, 
Apologies that I haven't posted in a few days, I have been up north in sheffield with my family for just under a week. It was my nephews 1st Birthday which came around so quickly! It was so nice to be home but I didn't really have anytime for anything as I was preparing a surprise for my brother James and his girlfriend Nicola, in celebration for Daniels 1st birthday.



This dress has got to be my top dress for comfort, it is a cotton swing dress so it is very comfortable to wear whatever the weather. I bought this right before I went on holiday and it became my go to dress when getting ready and bumming around the pool. It does have drop armholes and sits just above the knees. It is slightly long for me as I feel loose fitted dresses below the knee can easily make me look quite stumpy but as this sit right above the knee, I don't think this has that effect. As I said, I have worn this dress very casually around the pool and the apartment in Turkey when getting ready but this simple shift dress can easily be transformed into an elegant evening outfit with some heels. These black sandals are perfect for this look as it is a simple choice but very effective.

I am all about buying pieces that are multipurpose, I would wear this with some Dc Martens and a trilby hat,  some sandals and a bold necklace or some jewelled flip flops and a smart blazer. They are just a few examples to show how versatile this dress can be.

The only critique I have on this dress is as it is cotton it can stick to you sometimes showing all parts of your body, however thats not always a bad thing.

You can see this dress as part of my March Fashion Haul/Lookbook | Boohoo | H&M | Primark | Chockers | Just Fab on my Youtube Channel.

I hope you like this dress as much as I do, it is a great key piece to have in your wardrobe and it is only £10 so you can't really go wrong. It is from Boohoo and it is called the Freya Drop Armhole T-shirt Dress.

Chat Soon Lovelies!

Floral Vamp

I have been in love with this two piece since I bought it! It is a pink embroidery Bra-let and Midi 60's inspired Skirt. It is one of my favourite outfits that I have in my wardrobe. The material is so beautiful and the embroidery is stitched to perfection, although it is a little heavy but that it to be expected with this much detail. The purple, pink, blue and green metallic detail contrasts incredibly from the plain black background, it reminds me of what a magical garden on the planet of Pandora (Avatar) would look like. 


The Bra-let is very low cut which I am not use to wearing, I did start to feel like my boobs were trying to escape, but I was at a bar all night and there was no accidents. I would advise to wear a Bra-let like this around people you trust or attach a button or clip of some sort. Unfortunately I experienced this the hard way when some idiot thought it would be a clever idea to unzip it in the middle of a town centre. It wasn't my brightest moment but we live and we learn, not to be friends with arseholes that it! It is perfectly comfortable and I am able to wear this without a bra so the support is very important.
I love 60's inspired Midi Skirts like this one. I just think they are so feminine and elegant, perfect for any shape or size. This one is a size 8 and I do think if I was any bigger I may die from suffocation. I am normally a size 10 but my waist is a size 8 or smaller so it does get a bit difficult when buying clothes that sit on my waist. Buying high-waisted jeans or a bikini is a like having a fight with myself. 
CURVY PROBLEMS!


With this two piece being so vibrant and decorative I needed my accessories to tone it down so I went with a simple pair of black Sandals and a black Bum Bag. This Bum Bag is probably on of my favourite things at the moment. Yes it is small so I couldn't take everything out with me however not having to carry anything on a night out is a like dream. It goes with everything, whether you want to go casual or smart, its just the perfect little bag especially to have on holiday.

I decided to go for a very dark vampy look with my makeup. This dark purple lip and the smokey eyes just add an ounce of depth and an almost gothic-like edge to this look. I think it all work so perfectly especially with those loose natural waves.
