Beach Essentials
Thursday, May 17
It is starting to become that time of year again where people are jetting off on their holidays, whether it be to another part of the country you live in or somewhere else. A getaway is a getaway and everyone needs time out to relax, eat lots of food and spend some time on the beach. I usually leave all my holiday posts for August, but this is probably the best time to publish as the holiday season has pretty much started. Today's post is all about my beach essentials, I love spending time by the sea and when you're armed with these essentials you will not want to leave.
Spring Instagram Ideas
Tuesday, May 15
Ahh Instagram... the platform that promises so much but delivers nothing. At the moment, I am finding it really hard to grow on the gram and I think a lot of others are too. However, I am not letting this get me down, and this month have committed myself to thinking about the platform positively. This means posting when I feel like it, posting what I want to and making sure that I am happy with the content. See a trend with all of this? Its all about me. Your instagram feed should be for you and no one else, post what you like who cares! This post, is a little list and a few ideas about what you could post if you are having a bit of a creative block.

Summer Dress Wishlist
Sunday, May 13
We have officially booked our summer holidays, so the countdown is on! As a family we are going to the gorgeous island of Oahu, which is in Hawaii!! The four of us are obsessed with the show Hawaii Five 0 and we have always wanted to visit, so after saving up for months and months we're actually going this summer. I could not be more excited to spend some time in the sun! With the holiday booked, its time to start buying and getting the wardrobe ready - I find that this time of year is the best time to buy things after July everything seems to go pretty downhill.
The amazing site that is Quiz had just extended to now be available in the USA! Here in the UK, Quiz is an amazing place to buy all kinds of clothes from casual to formal and they have a gorgeous range of summer dresses too, that are perfect for any trips away and any occasion you have coming up. There are so many on the site that are gorgeous but these are my top picks:
> Blue and Red Floral Dress (Top Left) = I love the print on this dress, its advertised as purple but to me it looks more blue. It has a tie knot front which makes a little different from your usual summer dress. This would look amazing paired with sandals and a straw bag (which I really need to get!).
> Navy and White Bardot Dress (Bottom Left) and Striped Bardot Dress (Bottom Right) = Bardot dresses are going to be so popular this season and rightly so, not only are they comfortable to wear but they look stunning both in the day and during the evening when paired with some heels and a nice throw over.
> Red Dress (Middle) = There are a couple of reasons why this dress stood out to me, firstly the high neck. I love how formal this makes it look and it adds some length to the whole dress. The other reason is the sleeves! Just look at them, so frilly and perfect to wear in the evening. Red is also such a pretty colour to wear when you have a tan.
>Floral Print Skater Dress (Top Right) = This dress is perfect to wear either on holiday or for a summer party, even weddings! Its a off white, almost cream and features a gorgeous floral print. The off the shoulder style dress will look beautiful with a pair of tassel earrings and some wedges. I think I might just have to hunt this one down, slightly in love with the colour combination.
> Polka Dot Dress (Middle) = Is this not the most gorgeous dress? Polka dots are such a classic print to wear and if floral isn't your cup of tea then this is a great alternative. It has frill sleeves similar to the red one which adds some jazz and would look perfect in the evening.
I am ever so slightly in love with all of these! Which is your favourite?
