I’m officially over winter. Spring can’t come soon enough. This weather is getting a little bit tedious now and I’d really like to give my wardrobe a refresh and get some spring-like items in there. But, it’s about 4 degrees and raining so I’m having to settle with a wishlist!
My Boden Dream Holiday Wardrobe
According to me it’s not too early to be thinking about my holiday wardrobe. Hands up if you’re tired of hiding your toes away in ankle boots and shielding your legs from the sun in black skinny jeans. I’m with you! Anyway, to bring a little sunshine into our lives we booked out summer holiday to Greece and I immediately starting thinking about what I’d packed away into my ‘summer box’ and got very excited. This them prompted a little bit of online browsing, naturally, and I’ve come up with a complete holiday capsule wardrobe from the lovely lot at Boden.
Outfit Of The Day: Layering Up
Here you see the so called fashion blogger who hardly ever posts outfit posts in her unnatural habit. An outfit photo! I used to do quite a few outfit posts but due to lack of confidence of getting all the crucial bits spot on, (the hair right, the face right, the awkward expression not looking too awkward etc) I kind of gave up.
4 Tips To Look Good On A Night Out
It’s can be so stressful trying to get ready for a night out; there’s so much to worry about. But, read these tips and you’ll soon feel more confident and be ready to look your best!
Focus On Your Eyes
Depending on what you’re doing, the eyes play a big role. If you’re going on a date, you know there will be a lot of eye contact. Well, there should be, if he isn’t making eye contact then that’s a bad sign! Anyway, you need to focus on your eyes and make them look bright and beautiful. If you’re handy with eye makeup, you probably know a few tricks that will make your eyes stand out. If not, why don’t you get a friend to do it for you and make you look gorgeous. Or, how about trying out some coloured contacts to make your eyes stand out even more. They’ll leave your date mystified by the brightness of your eyes; he might even make a comment about them. There you go, you look beautiful, and you’ve got a conversation starter!
The Minimalist Edit: Joules
When you think Joules, you probably think florals and polo shirts, right? Well, of course, that’s what they do really well but there’s also some really lovely, well-made minimalist pieces that I would love to have in my wardrobe. I think with brands like this you have to look past what you think you know about the brand, who you think wears it and actually look at the awesome quality of the clothes.
Orange You Glad It’s Valentine’s Day?
Seeing as Valentine’s is a Sunday this year, I’m sure most people will be celebrating on Saturday night and indulging in a lazy Sunday morning. What’s better than fresh pyjamas, clean sheets and breakfast in bed? Not a lot, if you ask me! I love this Floral Pyjama Set, also from New Look. Shop New Look‘s Valentine’s Collection for tons of gorgeous dresses, heels, lingerie, and nightwear.
2016 Fitness Goals With Boohoo FIT
Hello, February! We’re well over the hump into the new year now and there’s no more January need to get on it in the gym, right? Wrong! I’m almost four weeks into my ‘Clean Eating’ Challenge and so far I’m loving it and I’m also really enjoying the gym at the moment because I’ve still got the Crossfit bug bad. Here’s me popping some deadlifts and kettlebell swings on a Saturday morning before an absolute insane WOD that wiped me out for the whole day.
Building My Capsule Wardrobe: 1
I’ve always loved fashion and style but have kind of struggled with the classic cliche of having loads of clothes but not actually knowing what to wear mentality. I’m fed up with it now and after watching & reading Anna from Vivianna Does Makeup’s capsule wardrobe videos and posts, I checked out Un-fancy, the blog she got her inspiration from and I decided to give it a go.
My Sale Picks Under £50: Tops
Even though I’m trying super hard at keeping a capsule wardrobe (post to come soon all about this!), the browser in me finds it really hard to not peek into the sales of a few of my favourite shops. Here are my fave sale picks of tops under £5o right now!
Reiss Champagne Fine Knit
A Zesty OOTD With Baukjen
The Sian Roll-Neck Jumper in Lime is the most recent addition to my (capsule, we’ll get on to this later) wardrobe and it’s definitely brightened up December for me! This super-soft oversized knit has been the answer to so many days where you either don’t know what to wear or the contents of you wardrobe doesn’t inspire you. The quality is fab so it feels really well-made and high end and so makes your outfit feel way more expensive than it is, even when you’re just in your favourite jeans and trainers like I was.
