Outfit: Cute little Elephants


So the weather here in the UK is finally starting to pick up and last week my friend hosted a little get together over the bank holiday. This was the perfect opportunity to whip off the jeans that my legs have been hiding under for the last 10 months or so and show them a bit of sunlight.

I know I’m going to sound like a New Look ambassador here, but honestly just by coincidence it is where my whole outfit if from.

I fell in love with this little skirt as soon as I saw it; I am loving elephant ‘trend’ at the minute. I usually get sucked into whatever animal print is popular, over winter I had so many little things with owls on!

I would have usually opted for a black or white top to complete the monochrome look but as it was a nice day I thought this coral t shirt would be much more appropriate.

I used my trusty Enrapture Totem Styler to create these soft waves using setting 1-1-1 which gives you soft waves suitable for the beach without looking too done.

What do you think? Have you braved going bare legged this year yet?

White Lace

Top: Choies* Jeans: New Look Shoes: New Look: Scarf: Asos

 Show me something pretty and girly and I’m all over it but I love to try and add a bit of edge to an outfit so it’s not so sweet and innocent.

My jumper from Choies is so beautiful and so soft! Do you ever have clothes that you just love to touch, is that weird? Well sometimes I can’t help it and you know you have something that’s good quality when you stroke it all the time haha.

The lace detailing on the arm is super pretty, the first time I wore this people were literally throwing compliments at me and for someone that is as self conscious as me it was really up lifting.
I added a red scarf to give my outfit that extra pop.

I think the little furry photo bomber is a fan of this outfit, what do you think?

Nails: Pinky Brown


Models Own: Pinky Brown

I have been eyeing up the Models Own Beetle Juice Collection for a while now, so when I saw a set of 3 in the ASOS sale for £7 I had to snap them up! The colour I have chosen today is Pinky Brown, and it does exactly what it says on the tin, a gorgeous bright pink with a brown shimmer to it. I absolutely love the effect and I have had quite a few nice comments around the office this morning about them which is always a bonus. The polish applies easily and it only took two coats to get the desired effect, so that’s great for me as I usually get frustrated if they need more.

The Beetle Juice Collection retail at £5 each and are available from the Models Own Website. You can also find them on ASOS and larger Boots Stores. I can’t wait to get my hands on some more colours and would definitely recommend giving them a go if you like pretty nails without much hassle.

Have you tried any Models Own Polishes before?

Happy Friday Ladies! x

Outfit Post: Wedding Guest


The main reason for my recent holiday to Sorrento was my cousins wedding, as soon as I was invited my first thought was 'Oh my god what do I wear!'

I wanted a dress which was pretty and elegant but not something that would cause me to sweat any more than I actually would when I was there (attractive, I know). I found this gorgeous dress from LOVE and unfortunately it was sold out in my size, luckily for me it was in stock on ASOS and I managed to bag a 20% off code! I am addicted to mint at the moment, it’s so summery and the pink flowers gave it that extra pop of colour which looked amazing in the sunlight. I teamed this with a cream clutch bag and sandals to finish off the look.

Dress: LOVE via ASOS
Bag: New Look
Sandals: New Look

The wedding itself was absolutely beautiful, I cried, waterproof mascara came in really handy! The ceremony was at a villa at the top of a cliff then we moved to a hotel for the reception. There was a huge buffet and we danced all night, it was also a bonus that there was an ice cream machine at the side of the dance floor! A great wedding and I wish the best of luck to Mr and Mrs J for the future.



Have you been to any weddings this year? What did you wear?

Outfit Post: Date Night



Top: Asos
Jeans: New Look
Bracelet: Pandora

This weekend I went out for a lovely meal with my boyfriend. I love going as a group with our friends but it's nice to be able to spend a bit of alone time and enjoy a slap up meal.

I Decided to wear this top from Asos which I bought for £25 a few months ago, I can't find the link for it now so 1'm guessing it may have sold out. I love how floaty this is as it can easily hide my 'food baby' once Ive finished and the light material is lovely for summer. I teamed this with black skinnies and black heels for a sophisticated but casual look.

We went to a cute little restaurant in the village next to our town and it had a great offer of 3 courses for £15. I wasn't expecting amazing things from the meal, especially as the bottle of wine we bought cost more than the 3 courses, but I'm please to say I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the food was fantastic for the price, for my main course I had a Fillet of Beef in a mushroom pink peppercorn sauce, which pretty much just fell apart when I put my fork on it. I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it!


Red Wine ♥ Poached Salmon ♥ Fillet of beef

Apologies as yet a gain I demolished my dessert before taking a photo! When will I learn but to be honest I can't resist a Creme Brulee, and it was damn good!

What did you get up to this weekend?
