Mulberry Bayswater Bracelet // Puppy Update //

The weather was incredibly temperamental today, so I really didn't think I'd be able to get the photos I needed...But luckily we got a small bracket of sunshine here in the 'Shire so I was able to get these snaps - YAY!


I am in love with this H&M "Basics" Dress...It's a stripe, no shock there really! I'm 5ft 7, a very medium height, some lengths completely shrink me, but this is the perfect length to give the illusion of a few more inches, hazaar! 
If the wonderful English weather would realise that it is the end of May, and it should be blimming warm..*vigorously shakes wrist* then I wouldn't have to be wearing my Primark Fleece tights, but I'm going to Florida next Saturday so this dress will definitely be coming - Minus the fleece tights! 


This is hat is a Topsop beauty! I feel that they are the shop to go to for hats on the highstreet, season after season they nail them! Although it is an A/W 14' throwback, i'm bringing it right into S/S 15'. I really haven't gotten as much wear out of this as I should have over the past few months, but no time like now eh!?


This Mulberry Bayswater bracelet has to be one of my favourite pieces of jewellery, its classic and the signature Mulberry clasp just takes it to a whole new level. I've had my eye on this clasp for a good while now and when I received it for my 21st in December, I was over the moon! Needless to say, I wear it every opportunity I can!

Now, who wants to see the Puppies!?


They kept on trying to sneak into my photos, and they're just too cute not to feature them! They're getting so big, why can't they stay puppies forever! I'm dreading how big they're going to be when I get back from America! :(

Simplistic Stripes//


I have been super inspired lately by Pinterest, I tend to pin very simplistic, minimal looks as that is where I am aiming to take my wardrobe. I want to invest in pieces that are timeless that I'm able to reuse and re-jig season after season. The Parisians have totally nailed this ethos, so I tend to search "Parisian Fashion" or "French Fashion" and needless to say a lot of stripes, black, and leather tend to appear.


I recently did a little bit of Asos shopping and picked up this striped top, paired with black jeans, and loafers create a totally effortless look. As this is England we are talking about... a jacket, or cardigan is an essential, so again think simple. Duster coats and trench coats work beautifully with simple pieces, finalising the effortless chic the Parisians do so well.



In terms of make-up, again less is more so for this look it's just a quick sweep of mascara and eyebrows and your set..


In other news, I have become stupidly obsessed over "Dance Moms." How amazing is that show?! The bitchy-ness is on a whole new level..it' great!
I've also started getting my goodies for my holiday next week, i've been watching lots of "What's in my travel bag" on YouTube, and making lists..It's all very exciting!

Vaseline Spray & Go Review


I'm the first to admit I am not great at the whole moisturising my body thing..Firstly, I'm lazy, secondly I HATE that slimey mingin feeling it leaves on my hands and well... on my body for the next half an hour/fourty minuites..Its just not for me.

So when this was launched last year I was over the moon and thought "YES WINNER, THIS IS RIGHT UP MY STREET"...so off I went to Boots, only to find they wanted £7 for it. I get it was just launched  and all that jazz, but crikey was it liquid gold or something?! I was not a happy camper.

So fast forward to now, still a lazy moisturiser, but haazaar its not £7 any more - Thank the moisturiser gods! I was picking up some deodorant in my local Superdrug and noticed that they had the Vaseline Spray and Go on sale for £3.99...thats more like it!
Obviously I jumped at the chance to get it, and I am SO glad I did!

There are 3 in the collection currently, an aloe vera, a coca butter and this oat based one. If i'm honest it was all a bit of an exciting blur for me so I just picked any up and got to the counter, but i'm pretty happy with the one I did buy! 
This is the PERFECT lazy girl moisturiser, the spray feature..I mean why didn't anyone think of this earlier!
It dispenses just the right amount of product, you simply hold the bottle 4 inches away and spray!
It is not greasy, and sinks in within 30 seconds - 1 minute which for me is pretty ideal..I can literally just spray and go..get my post shower comfy clothes on. 

Have you tried any of the other Vaseline Spray & Go products?

Don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin' - I'm going to be hosting my first giveaway really soon so keep you eyes peeled for that! 

Til' next time..

QUAY - about last night - Sunglasses!

If you follow me on twitter you'll know i've had a strong urge for another pair of sunglasses, and especially the QUAYxSHAY.
I am in LOVE with Quay sunglasses, they offer such a varied range of sunglasses that really do offer everything, from minimal chic to retro..they honestly do everything!
I've had my eye on a pair from the range they did with Shay Mitchell ( Emily from PLL ) who just happens to be a huge babe..mini girl crush going on here..but I just haven't seen them being stocked on any UK websites which is a total sucker. 


Instead, I chose these bad boys. I spotted them on Asos for £22 and I had to purchase! These are the "About Last Night" style, they are soo different to any sunglasses that I already own and the blue reflective lens just sold it for me! 
Asos do stock a small selection from Quay, but from what I can tell they often change which styles they do sell. Which can be a bugger, for instance these are no longer on the website but you can get them straight from Quay here.


I am quite the sucker for a tortoise shell print on sunglasses. I think they really compliment my skin tone - especially when I have a tan! 
As the sunny weather has buggered off and we're back to wind and cloud i've not really had much of a chance to test out the UV/Sun Blocking they provide, but I did wear them yesterday when we had a brief snippet of sunshine and they provided excellent blocking from the sun - good news!


How cool is the reflective lens - I love these and will certainly be getting my use out of these this summer!!

Have you got any of the Quay selection!?

Until next time..
