OOTD

The weather has been perking up a little as spring has came in so it was time to get rid of all the layers and start with lighter more summery clothes. I have recently purchased some white skinny jeans after almost a year of debating to get them and a light blue striped shirt which is perfect for a light overlay. Both of these items are from H&M which has recently been my favourite shop to shop in.  

The jeans are h&m's high waisted super skinny jeans which I feel have a perfect fit to them and are definitely  
a winning pair of jeans. I feel that white always adds a classier more stylish look whatever the occasion and throwing a simple black top and shirt adds some contrast to the whole outfit. The light blue shirt is perfect to just throw on top of an outfit as its so light and just adds an extra layer for that breeze. The black top adds contrast to the outfit as the lace detail just mixes up the textures a lot more. The laced see through back makes the outfit more summery and classier depending what event its for. 

I paired this outfit with some white vans which I have recently been bought as a gift. A simple pair of trainers just adds a casual simple look to it and I feel they are a perfect summery staple shoe, which also is comfortable which just adds to the perks of vans. 

You can easily mix and match with this outfit whatever the weather, add a coat for colder days or remove the shirt for warmer days. Either way this outfit is bound to look stylish whatever the weather. 













Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it.

Insta Natural product review

So I've been lucky enough to of being sent two wonderful products by Insta Natural, to use them and review them. Both products which I was sent include Argan Oil, which is a bonus as I've heard great things about this oil.

Firstly I was very happy with how fast it arrived, been based in Florida I didn't expect the products to arrive to the UK in a few days, fast delivery is always a bonus to any business. The packaging of the bottles were simple but effective, the packaging to any product is important as it needs to look good and catch the buyers eye and this product definitely has this advantage. 

I received the 'Organic Argan Oil for hair, face, skin and nails' and the 'Hyaluronic  Acid Serum.' Both of these products worked miracles on my skin and I saw a big difference with in days of using them. I personally preferred the serum as it wasn't as oily as the other product and took less time to dry if I was in a rush. However both of them worked well together and I would recommend them to anyone that was interested in finding organic products. I applied both the oil and the serum onto my face in the morning and before I went to bed. The good thing about these oils was that you could apply make-up over the top of them, which made my mornings easier as the serum acted as a base/primer. Both the argan oil and the serum made my skin so soft and I realised it did prevent spots as I very rarely got any break outs. My skin felt clean, fresh and healthy after using the products from Insta Natural. Once I run out of them both, I will be purchasing them again and even invest in some of the other skin care products that they have on offer. 

Insta Natural offer a wide range of skin care and body and hair care items, so there is something on there for everyone. None of their products are rested on animals and all products contain vegetarian or vegan ingredients. However one of their products '100% Pure Emu Oil' is derived from animal just to warn any vegans or vegetarians.

The prices are very reasonable and if you spend over $25 you get free standard shipping. You can purchase their products through Amazon or their website which I will leave a link to them below.

Never to cold for a dress

Finally an outfit post! I thought it was eventually time to get my camera out and take some photos of some of my favourite outfits to share with you guys. This is a complete stab in the dark for me but I hope you enjoy reading this post and who knows you may want to see more. 

It's been very cold here in England at the moment, yet me being me I can't stop wearing dresses. As long as I have a coat and some tights then I will bare the cold. I have recently bought a dress from Ark which I have being loving recently. There's so many ways in which I can style it and I can wear it during the summer months to, practical? I think so. 

So this post is showing just one way which I have styled it recently, but if you like this style of post I am willing to show you other ways in future outfit posts. The dress which I have bought is a skater dress which has a high neck line, rolled up sleeves and a rouched waist which helps give the look a more flattering feel. As it's been quite chilly, I would normally style it with a big boyfriend coat with a chunky knit, however this time I've gone for a more fitted light coloured coat which is from Primark (£15) 

You can't go wrong with some black boots, chunky or not they will go with almost anything and sometimes just give the finish off to a look. This outfit I've gone for my black leather cut out boots with a small heel. (From Ark) I feel these boots give me a little bit of height but are the right size so I can wear them with comfort. I've been quite a plain Jane at the moment and haven't really been to bothered about wearing many accessories. However since Christmas I have been wearing my Olivia Burton watch a lot. This was a Christmas present off my parents and I fell in love with it instantly. Olivia Burton does a wide range of different styled watches and what I love about them is that they aren't over the top they just look very suttle of your wrist. I feel this just adds something to the outfit, so be prepared to see it a lot more in future posts. Wow and to finish guess what? I gave in and bought a fedora hat.I did just buy it from Primark as that way I haven't spent a great deal on it if I don't wear it much. I do feel very classy whilst wearing this hat haha so I guess this is why I styled it with this outfit. 

Less of the talking now onto the photos (I will get the hang of it soon)

2015 Fashion Inspiration

So happy new year everyone (bit late sorry) I said one of my new years resolutions would to be write on my blog more, that didn't work too well. But never to late.

So what's best to start the new year blog with my 2015 fashion inspirations. This year I'm going to be buying more colourful, out going items of clothing which I hope inspires you and  I guess inspires me more as a person. 

Spring is approaching and the weather in England can be very mix and match but for when the suns out (if it ever does) then this outfit is perfect for the time and can even be perfect for colder summer days or you can even change certain bits to fit warmer days. 

So here goes first up is the pencil skirt. 






I love how a pencil skirt can be styled any way you want, its so versatile. A skirt like this would look fab with either a chunky long knit, an over sized top or even just a strappy top in the summer. Dress it up or dress it down either way it will look great as an all year round thing. 


Secondly I'm going to have to go for the slouchy style. 



 

This is one of my favourite looks which just looks like you've made an effort but you know secretly it hasn't took you long at all. So this is a mix mash of items of clothing and different styles. Again these are easy to style and look great in any weather. 


So lastly its shoes, this year I think some lacy heels is on my must have list. I think they look so elegant and just complete an outfit for a occasion. Either black or if they have a splash of colour, you will find they just give that edge to the outfit. 



For flat shoes one of my favourites are the Chanel flats from the Spring 2015 collection, sadly I won't be making a purchase on these as they are way above my budget (cries) but I will show them anyway,and some similar ones which maybe fall into my price range. Anyway these have to be the most gorgeous looking shoes which will add class and style to any outfit. They are very elegant and sleek looking which is everything a girl wants in a shoe. 



So that's some of my main 2015 fashion inspirations which I hope has helped some of you out a little. 

Thank you for reading and see you soon!

Healthy breakfast idea / Lifestyle

I thought I would do something different this week and do a post on one of my favourite healthy breakfasts. I like to mix up my breakfast ideas up a little everyday and try to stick to being healthy. This is one of my favourite ones to have which fills me up and it makes me feel good about myself, I can assure you that this breakfast will set your day off to a good start.

The thing I love about this breakfast is you can change the ingredients to suit your taste or even change it everyday so you have a wider variety throughout the week. I will show you how I make it and the alternatives you could use. I hope I give you inspiration to try this yourselves, enjoy!


So I begin with the Jordan's fruit and nut muesli which I add a handful to the bowl. I love the different tastes in this muesli as there's plenty of variation. However this is just my taste and what I like so don't be afraid to go and look at the other types of muesli out there, in the end you've just got to find what you prefer. 




Next I add some chopped mixed nuts into the muesli which I just bought from sainsburys, I just think they add flavour to the whole of the meal. There are other alternative nuts out there so just look in your local supermarket and there surely will be a nut you like. If you have nut allergies or just don't really like nuts you could add an alternative, something like  a bit of extra fruit or just leave it how it is. 



I then add some sultanas these are just the sainsburys basic ones as there cheaper yet are just as good as the pricer ones and how often I use them this works better for me. However you can of course buy the pricer sultanas or raisins, just which works best for you. Sultanas have many health benefits and taste amazing. Sultanas provide you with vitamins and minerals and are also a great source of energy, which you need in the morning (well I know I do aha) I just add a few to the bowl to add texture and flavour. 



To finish the toppings, I add some blueberries. I normally change the fruit everyday to add variation. These are again basic blueberries from sainsburys, again there are other blueberries available these just work best for me. If you don't like blueberries try a different fruit you like. Don't be afraid to add as much chopped up fruit as you want, that's the best thing about this dish, you can add as much or little as you want, just whatever you want to do, you do, it will taste great anyway!




Last but not least its the main ingredient and it finishes the dish off perfectly. This is the Alpro coconut milk. This is definitely the main taste to this dish and it makes it taste so good. I love the Alpro range they have so many different flavours and they are all so good for you they all have natural ingredients in. By adding this to the dish all over it makes it feel refreshing and just adds that little extra to it. Again you can use normal milk if you prefer.



Now all that left to do is serve and enjoy! 




I hope this post was useful and gave you inspiration on different healthy breakfast ideas. Thanks for reading! Enjoy if you make this or something similar!

StripTeas (Detox Tea)

Just a small post (as I'm very excited) about the tea I received in the post from stripteas.

I was lucky enough to be sent out the 14 day detox pack which includes the morning, daytime and night time tea. I will be posting a review after the 2 weeks have finished, but I was just so excited I just had to show you all. I was very impressed with the time of delivery. They sent it out and 2 days later it arrived, so you definitely cant fault the delivery. I opened the parcel and I was amazed at how colourful and attractive the packaging really was. The packaging had instructions for use, ingredients and just as a plus it had small quotes on which was a really nice touch.

I chose the berry flavoured daytime tea as that suits my taste the best, however there are multiple options of flavouring to suit everyone. So here's some photos of the tea, look out for a review in the next 2 weeks to really get a feeling of what its like.

Enjoy:

Autumn welcomer

                 

I absolutely adore this outfit, it not only looks great but it's comfortable and easy! It's a perfect outfit that you can layer items with to suit the weather and occasion. I'm really into monochrome at the moment but hey who isn't? This oversized shirt is so versatile, you can wear it during the day smart or casual and can dress it up for the evening. A pair of dark coloured jeans and some chunky shoes are the staple piece of this outfit. I've really being loving dark chunky shoes at the moment, especially loafers, I feel these topshop ones really finish the outfit off, I also really love the big fedora hats as well but I've been on the fence about buying myself one for a long time as I'm scared I won't suit it, personally I should just buy one and not care what anyone thinks but I'm to much of a chicken..oops. Anyways I love how they just finish any outfit off and make things look so stylish and especially for autumn it's just the right kind if hat! Last but not least is the two items I have managed to purchase for myself which is the burgendy lipstick from H&M and the navy large purse which is from Accesorize. I think the lipstick is perfect for A/W and is great for any occasion. I would definitely recommend the H&M lipsticks as their so cheap and such good quality, I will defiantly be looking into purchasing more. The purse is rather large (the picture doesn't do much justice) but I can never resist to a good looking purse. I was lucky enough to have a voucher to spend in their and that just caught my eye as soon as I walked in. 

For more wintery days you could layer this outfit up with a big chunky knit or a boyfriend style coat and layer it with a big chunky scarf and a beanie, whatever suits you this outfit can accommodate absolutely anything, however this would defiantly be how I'd style it!
