Missguided Bandage Midi Dress






Just a quick blog post of my weekend outfit, this Missguided dress is gorgeous, the material is thick which is so flattering and the nude colour compliments my tan. Missguided dresses as you can probably tell from my blog are my favourite as are not an outrageous price like some other high street shops and also they do small sizes which can usually be a problem for me as I can never get dresses small enough. However this dress does come out slightly big on me, I would recommend buying a size smaller than you would usually buy unless your quite busty (obviously I have no boobs).

Summer nights


Summer fashion is my absolute favourite, piecing together different pairs of shorts and crop tops is so much fun. Finding these gorgeous missguided shorts in sale was such a fab find, I love them so much, the gorgeous lace at the bottom compliments the pattern and the silky material makes them perfect for summer nights. 
The heels are river island, who I have to say definitely do the best heels. I adore white shoes and also they are so so comfy due to the chunky heel, which to me is so important as painful feet can easily ruin my night out. 
I'm also wearing a topshop peplum crop top which you might not be able to see so well in my picture is patterned lace. As it's black and quite simple it goes with so much and can be worn in the day and evening.

My 'Lush' Locks






I've had a couple of people asking me about my hair so thought I'd write a blog post to give you the low down of how I've acquired long blonde hair. Blonde hair is a struggle as the colour fades goes yellow often and the damage bleach does to your hair is awful. My hair extensions are Lush hair and are fantastic, I've found with hair extensions it's better to just spend the money because it is worth it. More expensive extensions have more hair and don't damage as easily this means you not only have to buy new ones less often but you also only have to buy one pack. I hate putting hair extensions in as it's time consuming and they never feel right so I'm constantly playing around with them. However one of my friends gave me the brilliant idea of sewing wefts together, this means that you have less clips in your hair to move around and fall out. I think this only left me with having four strips to put in, two at the back and one each side because I ended up sewing three wefts together to make a one single thick strip. 
Now to keep my hair blonde, blonde, I use a silver shampoo one or twice a week which I leave in for 5 minutes before washing out, I use the pro:voke touch of silver shampoo. It is amazing and I'd reccommened it to anyone trying to keep their hair from yellowand dull hair. Although I'd advise when using this make sure you use a treatment conditioner after as it can dry out your hair, I use a conditioner with Moroccan Argan oil in by Loreal Paris Elvive as it does the job perfectly and leaves me with shiny soft hair, 
Another quick tip is only brush your hair extensions with a Tangle Teezer, as this stops hair falling out the extensions which makes them last longer. Tangle teezers are defiantly worth the money, I've been trying to grow my natural hair and was recommended to only use this to brush my hair and it's been 100% making a difference. You can also use a Tangle Teezer when you have extensions in the brush your hair as it doesn't pull out the clips and works a treat. 

Lush hair extensions : clip in 18" Full Head colour 18/613
Pro:voke : Touch of silver shampoo 
Loreal Paris : Elvive smooth-intense anti-frizz conditioner (enriched with Moroccan Argan oil) 
Tangle Teezer : can get these from boots.co.uk

Hope some of my tips and advise help girlies,

Missguided obsessed









Just a little post with my all missguided outfit, I am completely obsessed with this shop. It's so cheap and I can always find something on there for whatever occasion. AND they are always doing next day delivery for free which is so good for someone as impatient as myself. Hope this gives you some ideas for a weekend outfit.

All White Everything




Hope this outfit gives you some style ideas for spring guys, add some white jeans and a cropped top and it's perfect for day and night as white jeans add style and elegance to any outfit. I am so in love with these beautiful topshop sunglasses although they are not at the cheap end of high street sunglasses at around £16, they were a must have so I just had to treat myself.

Fake tan that changed my life


Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan Mousse by Marissa Carter 


I honestly hate fake tan, it smells, it's sticky and it comes off as soon as you shower so re-applying is a regular occurrence, however Cocoa Brown's one hour fake tan has genuinely changed my whole experience. I can not fault it one single bit, it drys quickly, it smells nice and it only costs around £7. 
I also find with fake tan that once I've applied, waited the dreaded 24hrs then washed it off, none of the fake tan is left on my skin. I've used every fake tan you can think of, from Fake Bake to No.7 to St.Tropez to St. Moriz and nothing stays on, and even the ones that do, go patchy after one wash. Even fake tans I've paid a ridiculous £38 for do not last longer than two washes. I've read loads about not buying a shampoo with oil in because it takes off the tan, but as someone with bleach blonde hair I need Moroccan oil to keep my hair from looking like a horses mane. Not only does cocoa brown stay on after shampooing in the shower but I also do not have to wait the dreaded 24hrs I usually do to keep as much on as possible. You can genuinely have a shower an hour after applying which means my poor boyfriend doesn't have to sleep with a sticky and smelly orange version of me. Although saying this, this is one of the only tans I've used which doesn't smell horendous and is not sticky for hours after, it does dry extremely quick. This means that if you do want to sleep in your tan to make it last even longer and go even darker you are able to. 
The best thing of all is the beautiful colour it gives me, unfortunately I was not blessed with olive skin, with a ginger dad I am extremely pale, this means that I can not use dark fake tans as it just looks too orange and obviously the most important thing about fake tan is that it looks natural. Cocoa Brown leaves a lovely brown colour with no orange in sight, I would suggest for those who want to look extra brown to apply, shower off then re-apply.

Spring weather

Spring weather is so unpredictable so it's so hard to plan an outfit that's going to be right for the whole day, so my plan to combat this ongoing battle with the weather is slip on some spring jeans and socks with sandals and then I'm prepared whatever the weather. I am absolutely in love with white at the moment so white sandals and white cropped tops are filling this springs wardrobe.
