Tropical Paradise //

Sunday 21 August 2016








 If you pack just one type of dress this holiday,  make sure it's this versatile beach cover up from Primark. There are literally hundreds sauntering around their stores, with enough sass to make even the most experienced jet setters check themselves. From tribal-inspired prints, to floral motifs, stripes, checks, embroidery and everything in between, these summer dresses are an absolute staple. When it comes to styling these  dreams, think fedoras, high-leg gladiators, and layer-upon-layer of delicate jewellery.


Available from Primark/Pennys for just 15e



Bow Bow Bow //

Saturday 20 August 2016



A pretty bow blouse that is impossible to keep crease free? Hardly an excuse to stop me buying it! Baby blue ? tick. Stripes? tick. Love at first sight? tick.





My New Look grey sandals have been perhaps one of my better buys, I have worn them to death as they are so comfortable and also easy on my bank account too. 


Happy Weekend!

Rosie For Autograph //

Thursday 18 August 2016





Many high-street collaborations prove to be a flash in the pan, but Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Rosie for Autograph partnership with Marks and Spencer is a relationship that has stood the test of time. Beginning with lingerie in 2012 and expanding to include a fragrance, activewear and sleepwear, the latest chapter is a full make-up collection launched in February this year and has proved to be a huge success. Focused upon a neutral, flattering palettes of pinks, browns, creams and soft metallics inspired mostly by the hues used in the lingerie collections, the products are designed to be easy and practical to use. 

Rosie has said that her philosophy with make-up is enhancing what you already have and feeling really naturally beautiful, she has remained heavily involved throughout the design process, and was the driving force behind the rose-gold-toned packaging and vintage-inspired palette. A little Charlotte Tilbury inspired perhaps?!
