The Colour Block Maxi Dress

When you're going on holiday you always think you've not got enough holiday clothes. I find myself thinking what on earth do I wear? Well for the past year the maxi dress has been the ultimate holiday saviour (yay!) it's the dream item of clothing (well for on holiday anyway) you can be wearing no make-up and have your curly beach hair and still look amazing! the maxi dress just completely transforms your outfit! I've started to have a collection of maxi's now. The ones I bought last year still look as great this year too so I'd invest in a couple of these bad boys maybe 2 or 3? or you could just go all out and get like 6 like me...



My most recent maxi dress purchase was a last minute one from Desire Clothing for about £14 I think it was with the 10% discount code available to all fashion-train readers when you type in 'fashiontrain' at the checkout. I don't think you can get more of a bargain for such a gorgeous dress!



Yes this dress really was £14! It's very on trend right now, who can resist a colour block maxi dress? It's elasticated at the top so it's a great fit around the bust area and it'd be very flattering on curvy body shapes too. For a night out wear with a denim jacket and wedges (depending on your height) and for a daytime look just team it with some sandals if it's sunny!



I don't think i'd genuinely wear something like this but I wore this all the time, especially to the beach with some sandals whilst I was away!



I teamed my outfit with some white sandals. I don't think i'd have ever worn white sandals either, but they look amazing. So elegant and smart and they look ten times better than a tan brown pair (yay!)



These sandals cost me just less than £10! They were in the sale how could I not buy them?!



Can you really go wrong with an glamorous outfit like this, perfect for your holidays for under £25? Yes that means more spending money! (wahoooooo)

Bikinis by Very.co.uk

I'm back! Yay! back to blogging, back to normal back from my holidays. I think when you go away you become more and more obsessed with how you look on the beach. If you're like me you have a few bikinis and you alternate depending on your mood. Now the more I know about fashion the more I see that there's a bikini for your body shape not just one you like the pattern of. I hope I don't become too conscious about what I wear on the beach and I hope to find bikinis which I feel comfortable in.

I really love the amount of swimsuits available at very.co.uk and I'm falling in love with all of the styles and patterns... here are some of my favourites.



*all bikinis are available at very.co.uk*



Which ones your favourite? My favourite is the first bikini love love love the pattern! for my holidays next year I can see myself going on a hunt for the perfect bikini!

My New Hair by Regis Salons

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to get my hair cut by my local regis salon! I absolutely love my new hair.



(this is my old hair curled it was very long!)

If you remember my hair is very long and I've never really dyed it so I fancied a change & this is my new hair!



They curled it at the salon too which was fab, I have purple highlights underneath and they took about three inches off!



I love my new hair and i've had so so many compliments for it. The purple has faded a bit now but it's still quite bright and the new layers in my hair are great too. It look fab curly now so i'm going au natural more often!

I just thought i'd write about my new hair and my trip to my local Regis Salon because I had such a great service and picked up loads of tips to keep my hair glossy and shiny! (yay)

Hello Pixie Knitwear

I suppose you think I'm mad right now, posting about a cardigan! But I suppose at this time of year, in England it's either really hot or really cold. But anyhow, I thought I'd show you all my latest purchase from Pixie Knitwear!

It's a gorgeous cardigan and I love love love the bows on the front!



I kind of have a love/hate relationship with cardigans, like i didn't expect this cardigan to be as big and chunky as it is! It works well as a blanket and let's put it this way, this winter I will NEVER be cold!



I love the big arms on this cardigan but I think I would love this cardigan even more if It was a bit shorter in length. I love how unique this cardigan looks and how eye catching it is though!



What do you think of this cardigan?

Oasis Vintage Collection: Biscuiteers

A few weeks ago, I was sent the coolest press release ever! I seriously think more companies should come up with ideas like this... Pippa from Clashingtime was an intern at OASIS HQ, we've been following each others blogs since we both decided to make one!

It was lovely to receive an email from her asking for my address to a few days later to receive a delivery and I really had no idea what it was!



Instead of being sent an email with a press release of the new vintage collection, I received it in the form of biscuits! These were genuinely the nicest biscuits ever...









Need I say anymore? I had to photograph them quickly I really wanted to eat them! They were so so so so so so so good!



Which is your favourite dress from the collection?

Holiday Snaps

Recently I went on a holiday for a few days in Wales with some friends! It was so much fun and it was great to just explore wales and go to the beach whenever we wanted. I thought I don't do many 'personal' posts so maybe it's time to feature one!



As soon as we got to wales we were on the beach, it was lovely and sunny!



We decided to walk across a bunch of cliff edges? I don't know what else to call them... can you spot me and Lydia? we look like small dots...



Later on that night we then went back in the sea at about 8/9pm and had a BBQ on the beach too. It was something i'd never do normally and to be on a beach at 8pm watching the sun go down whilst your in the sea is beautiful! Also the beach is so peaceful too as nobody is on it at that time!







I like the sea more at night I think. The last photo of me and Lydia looks like a postcard! I had a fab time in Wales and there are lots more photos, but these are just my favourites!



Have you been on holiday lately? Are you on holiday?

A New found love: Nail Art

I love going to blog events, as the people there have the best nails ever! And also because some of the time you get a free manicure too.... but recently i'm becoming more and more interested in nail art. I think it's because of the amount of colours which are out now and how reasonably priced nail polish is. I love Barry M and Models own nail polish especially!

These are just a couple of photos recently...

(sorry this ones an iphone photo some of you may have seen this photo on the facebook page)



My leopard print nails. They took a while to do but I absolutely loved them!

And most recently at the NEXT christmas press day. I just had to take a photo of Kristabel from iwantyoutoknow.co.uk's nails! Aren't these amazing!



She said the aztec print took her about 3 hours to do.

& Finally I had my nails done at the Press event... I just couldn't decide on a colour... so why not have 5?





What do you think of my nails? Have you been more experimental with your nails lately? Let me know!
