The Latest

It's been a while but if I'm entirely honest i've enjoyed being able to slob around in my PJ's for the past few days!
I finally (after annoyances with the Post Office) received my In the Style dress from the Lauren Pope range. I originally went onto the site (http://www.inthestyle.co.uk/) because of a discount that they were running through IG and saw the mint shift which I instantly loved.
The dress is a gorgeous colour it's the perfect summer hue with a tan, and i've seen some bloggers looking absoloutely gorgeous in it, however, it's not for me :(
I was a bit shocked at the feel of the fabric at first (the only way I can describe it is like crepe paper) it just really wasn't what I was expecting! And then, I tried it on.
It got stuck at first going over my chest which is a problem I am used to so I soldiered on but it ended up being a tight squeeze! I checked the size label just for peace of mind, and it just said 'L' -arge when the website offers specific sizes. I checked all the 14 measurements and my own and it all matched up/ there should have been more room. It's a real shame :
Pros:
- Beautiful colour
- Nice length 
- Unusual fabric
- Not budget blowing!
Cons:
- Sizing didn't match up.
- Too restrictive 
- VERY see through!
This would (and does) look good on smaller frames, which is something I find myself saying a lot! It's just a shame as it could have so much potential :( Here are some pics to illustrate what I mean (this was a 2nd try on, after a pizza, so bear that in mind haha)
OK so I have alwaaaays struggled with my eyebrows, i've never liked them; they're uneven, I hate their shape and their colour! Just aarghhh!
It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I discovered brow pencils and they've been my saviour ever since,I'm never without one. Just when I thought i'd got it down, I found out that there's brow gels and brow powders too and now I feel completely clueless.
At the moment I have serioussss brow envy on IG and need to have a try around with different products. If anyone has any great starting points it would be really helpful...
I currently use Rimmel's brow pencil in dark brown, but I think it might be too dark for me!
Let me know what you think.
 
Phew! I've finally been able to relax this weekend :)
I've had a rather hectic weekend; after work on Friday I had an hour to be ready to get up to Brighton for a night out...Panic stations! (It was a nightmare, especially as my face just did not want to stop sweating.) This is what I ended up looking like, which tbh i'm quite proud of:
Tried to go for a dark red lip and live outside the box a little! (Barry M)
Also my flower crown is from http://instagram.com/summer_crown
After trawling the shops during the week I managed to find this little beauty to wear from New Look;
I absoloutely loveee it! It's super bright and summery whilst not being too short or see through :)
 Really enjoyed my night out in Brighton and did a hell of a lot of dancing which equalled very sweaty hair! However it came in useful the next day when I went out to Crayford dogs as I just sprayed and scrunched!
My gorgeous top was from http://www.spoiledbrat.co.uk in the sale :)
Overall I had a super fun Friday and Saturday and today my bf managed to find this gem in a charity shop...
 Perfect!
 

 
I thought I would do a 'what's inside my makeup bag' post. I like to keep things minimal and struggle with change, so it's pretty simple!
Inside:
  • Hoola bronzer by Benefit
  • Boi-ing concealer by Benefit
  • Thick and fast mascar by Soap and Glory
  • Sexy mother pucker lipgloss by Soap and Glory
  • Eyebrow pencil by Rimmel
  • Cream eyeshadow by Ted Baker
  • Deep red lipstick by Barry M
  • 'Beatnik' lipstick by Topshop 
I am also using Rimmel's tranlucent powder as a base at the moment.
 I'm looking to buy a new foundation and eyeliner whilst on holiday in Florida soon so hopefully my bag will be upgraded!

I really have to reccommend all of these products! They really do the job and turn my zombie face into something acceptable!
 
A little while ago I wandered into Select after work, mainly because I had ages to wait for the bus; but also because I always think it looks nice in there. Anyway, I saw tonneeeees of bits in there that i LOVED unfortunately I only had limited funds so had to be choosy.
I ended up buying a maxi dress. Now, I don't reallllly do maxi dresses as i'm a shortie but this one fell at just the right point. Also, I don't really do pink even though it's one of my favourite colours! So this was a big deal.
After a few outings and compliments I've decided I really like this dress. I know my arms look huuuuge and it would look miles better without the tummy but I'm working on that!

The sun is shining, the temperatures are soaring and it's the perfect time of year to crown yourself with flowers!
I absoloutely ADORE flower crowns, I have done for a longgg time now and they just make me feel like Ms Del Rey which is never a bad thing (because let's be honest, it's all i've got).
Usually I buy my summer hoard of flower power from Primark and New Look but thanks to IG I found some BEAUTIFUL crowns fromhttp://www.summercrown.bigcartel.com/ IG: http://instagram.com/summer_crown
They are really amazing and really rather cheap! They're foam as well so they actually stay up rather than looking like they've wilted in the sun...
I bought myself a red one (favourite colour...) and a pink and white flower slide, also because of an offer they had at the time I got a blue crown for free!!!
Would definitely recommend these, go flower crazy, it's summer!
The sun was shining this morning and it was a beautiful day, so I thought I would be a bit floral :)
The best thing about this is that it was all a bargain!
Shoes: £8 Primark
Top: £2 Primark
Trousers: £11 Primark
Kimono: £16 Select
It was such a shame it had to rain on my parade (literally!)
