Grasping Summer

Warning: this outfit of the day post features sunshine and a summer maxi dress...in September! It felt odd to have such a hot and glorious day at this time of year, but you will hear no complaints from me. I decided to share this outfit with you, mainly because a sweet elderly lady stopped me in Waterstone's Llandudno to say that she thought I looked beautiful, which made my day! So, below are the pictures. Enjoy!










Dress: Matalan | Bracelet's: Accessorize | Rings: Cut Out and Keep | Flip Flops: Matalan | Hair Flower: Claire's Accessories | Handbag: Matalan

Statement Necklaces

Anyone who knows me personally, or who has followed this blog or my YouTube channel for some time, will know how much I adore statement necklaces. I feel they can add zing to your look on the days when you don't feel like playing up your make up, or are rushed for time. Not to mention perking up an otherwise simple, dare I say "bland", outfit choice. So, this post showcases some of my very favourite statement necklaces that I own. What's your take on statement necklaces: love, loathe or indifferent? Let me know!

Daisy Nails


I am an avid follower of Vic's blog at www.hashtaggollygosh.com and she recently posted about her camo and daisy nails. Needless to say I saw them and fell in love! I wanted to recreate them entirely, however I'm so snowed under with MA work right now, that I don't really have much time to dedicate to blogging/YouTube and beauty or fashion stuff generally, which is making me a bit sad to be honest. So I had blue nail polish on from the weekend and decided to put daisy's on top of that to save some time. All I did was apply more of Barry M's Cobalt Blue to the tips of my nails where I had nail wear, then added some daisy's using a dotting tool and white and yellow polishes, both by Rimmel, then the Barry M top and base coat. You could also use a kirby grip or a toothpick and any polishes of your choice. I'm happy with the results and I can only improve on my nail art as I'm still an amateur!

Would you rock daisy nails for summer? I can see me putting daisy's on coral polish for a boho look in the summer. Would be pretty for festival season! (Not that I can go to any this year, annoyingly!) Also, please let me know what you think of the new blog layout!
