Summer Dress Wishlist

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?

Spring Trilogy: Fashion

Welcome to the final part of this spring series! I have had so much fun putting together beauty, skincare and now fashion. I'm hoping to do one in the summer too and then the rest of the seasons because why not. This seasons trends are bit everywhere, I can't seem to quite understand them but these outfits follow some of the things that are big now or will be big as the months go on this year. Spring is all about dressing pretty, flowery and having clothes that feel light and very floaty - if that makes sense. Whether this be a maxi skirt, custom vest tops or even sandals. 

Glowing Summer Skin When You Are Oily AF

I love a good glow. I mean who doesn't? The summer means only one thing for me and that is bronzed, dewy and gorgeous skin. Well, in my dreams this is how I envision myself looking but when you have oily skin...its a little bit tricky to get that sort of look. But, fear not. I seem to have got the look nailed (well on a good day) which means that my skin can look gorgeous and illuminated but shine can still be controlled.

Why You Should Start Using Argan Oil

As the sunshine makes more of an appereance here in the UK, my hair starts to loose a bit of life. It was time to turn things around and make it not only look healthy but also feel better. Argan Oil might just be the holy grail hair product for everyone and after reading this post, I hope you're inspired to try it out because let me tell you, it isn't called liquid gold for the hair for no reason. 

Spring Trilogy: Beauty

Last week, we covered my top picks for Spring Skincare and this week we move on to beauty. This includes everything from lip balm to nail polish. I think this is a lovely time of year to make little changes in your makeup routine but not too many. The products that I have picked are ones that will see me through the next few months but are still quite subtle.                                        

The Last Leg

I was so torn between calling this post 'The Last Leg' or 'The Final Countdown', but I immediately burst out into song! Trust me, you do not want to hear that. I went with the first option in the end as it works a little better with what this post is about. I am bringing you this blog post today in collaboration with Adexe, a brand that specialise in creating gorgeous watches that are perfect for every occasion, my upcoming occasion being graduation.
