Embroidered Fields

The perfect autumn dress...is this even a thing? I think of big knitted sweaters, nice tight jeans and maybe a bobble hat when autumn rolls around but the perfect autumnal dress DOES exist...

Put Spring Into Your Step

This year I have vowed to do much more fashion posts as I love them and miss shooting so much. This is a post I've been so excited about sharing because I just LOVE this outfit and the cute booties that go with it. Not to mention the absolute bargain piece in this outift...

Sorel In The Snow

While the cold weather is still around we are trying to keep as warm inside as we can, I'm here to say DON'T! Get outside but still stay toasty this these beautiful boots from 

Sorel Footwear.

Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018!

The last post of 2017 and what a year it's been for me, my life and the blog...

Summer Into Autumn

Summer is coming to an end and I'm ready to welcome in my favourite season with snuggly jumpers but I do like to keep an element of warm weather in my outfits for as long as I can. Queue the perfect Summer to Autumn sandals.

Sunflowers & Gingham

This is one of my favourite outfit posts this year, not because it's the best but just because it was a gorgeous sunny day spent in a field of sunshine flowers...

Sandy White Jeans

 A crazy busy week at home didn't let me shoot as many posts as I'd like but I had to do these white jeans, after years of loving from a far I committed and SO glad I did.

Frills and Waves

Our time in Cornwall was so wonderful we hardly shot any posts but this one was a last minute squeeze before we headed home. We spent our last morning on the beach in the sunshine so why not shoot this gorgeous blue dress?

May The Sea Set You Free

 An unintentionally 'Poldark' looking shoot back at home on Gwithian beach, one of my absolute favourite beaches that I visit every time I go back and the perfect place to shoot this gorgeous blue maxi dress...

Be A Wildflower

So sorry I've hardly posted recently, but...well...life. And it's been so gloriously warm we've been trying to enjoy it and just soak in the memories of this amazing summer. But I'm back talking about the perfect floral dress.

Sunshine Fields

Today is FiveFootFour's THIRD birthday! I can't believe how crazy and fast these years have gone and if someone had told me where I'd be now when I started I would NEVER have believed you (and it's exactly a week till my birthday...ahhh) I wanted to share a super pretty post with you today to celebrate...

My Wild Bird Love

Firstly I'm SUPER excited about this post and to be working this amazing brand. So many brands out there lack a strong behind them but Wild Bird is all about the Mamas and supporting each other, you get swept in the history of Taylor Gunn who created this wonderful product you feel part of the story yourself. I can honestly say because of this brand I have made friends in so many different countries because of their loving little support group.

My First Mothers Day

If someone said this time last year that I'd be celebrating Mothers Day myself in 2017, I would have thought they were mad. Little did I know that it would be one of the most special days I'll ever have. 

OOTD

You can spend so long looking for the perfect pair of jeans and dare I say it...I've found mine. I love ripped jeans and I'm not  massive fan of jeans if they aren't. Pretty sure I have one nice pair of non-ripped jeans that now I hardly wear. These jeans are so comfy, super soft denim and just fit like a dream. 

Distressed Love

Hey my loves, so yes I have taken a bit of a break from my fashion stuff lately to address some things I felt I had to around the subject of motherhood but I am so excited to slowly break back into my fashion posts.

Starting off with a trend that I'm a bit obsessed with, distressed clothing. I wouldn't say I have one certain style like most bloggers, as somedays I like to wear floral playsuits and the next I'll embrace my inner rock chic and this distressed trend has slipped its way into my wardrobe. 

Knitted Winter Bump with Dorothy Perkins

Autumnal Floral with Dorothy Perkins

Autumn is such a beautiful time of year, it has to be a favourite season of mine. I'm lucky enough to share this season with my growing baby and the wonderful people at Dorothy Perkins. This month I'll be sharing my favourite maternity picks from their maternity range. It can feel impossible to find nice fitting and flattering clothes when you're pregnant but DP has my back.

Starting the series of posts off with the sweetest embroidered top that matches this season perfectly. The flower details reflect the wonderful colours of the falling leaves and adds something different to your maternity outfit, not to mention its super comfy. I really recommend wearing loose shirts and dresses so your bump is comfy as can be and helping to flatter your growing bump.

I've found this top is great for everyday comfy wear but also dresses up beautifully with some heeled boots, long necklace and curled hair for some glam mum to be hair! 

Underneath this sweet top I'm wearing DP maternity leggings that are over the bump. Keeping your bump a bit warmer and giving you a little bit of support, I cannot get enough of over the bump leggings. Another big must have! 

Keep your eyes peeled for the next post on my Dorothy Perkins Maternity wear coming very soon!

BabyMel Changing Bag Review

The world of baby business is seriously just that...a whole new world. Trying to prepare for a baby when you have literally no idea seems way too impossible sometimes. Now nearly at 29 weeks I'm getting the first time mum paranoia about getting hospital bags and baby bags packed just incase she decides to show up early. Easier said than done though I might add.

The never ending world of changing bags was definitely drowning, especially if you want a classic style. So many changing bags are over the top with patterns and lean towards women more than men, but I didn't want to force a pink patterned bag on my other half when he takes her for a walk (however hilarious it might have been). 

Coming across BabyMel changing bags was an absolute relief. Stylish, simple and chic bags that are perfectly unisex, loads of storage space and suit our grey iCandy pram perfectly, they ticked all the boxes. I know I am going to overpack everything until I know exactly what I need so a large changing bag with loads of pockets was a must and the gorgeous Ally bag in tan was the obvious choice. 

Features:

It's a brand new arrival to BabyMel for their A/W16 collection. The water resistant and easy clean bag comes with a padded changing mat, perfect for on the go changes or when you're out visiting family and friends. There is also a built in insulated bottle compartment on the side which keeps baby's bottle upright and warm or cool for up to 4 hours, I have a feeling this will be a god send in itself! A built in long shoulder strap that transforms to stroller straps so you don't have the fuss of wrapping them around the push chair handle and getting in a tangle. With all the pockets for easy organising this will be super handy when on the go and your little one is screaming for that toy that will be neatly tucked inside instead of having to stop and rummage through a, what seems to be, bottomless bag of never ending mess.

As a first time mummy I know this bag is already going to suit our needs perfectly and hopefully will help me to be more organised along the way and without being over priced the Ally changing bag comes in at a very reasonable £60.00! It's a must have from me for your everyday bag for baby.

Autumn Green

It's getting chillier but still warm enough that you don't have to go crazy with your layers. An over sized jumper, leggings and a snug blazer from Sporting Hares is all I need while the leaves all. 

I've tried and tested this gorgeous Beauchamp Blazer and it keeps out those wintery winds wonderfully. I love a blazer this time of year instead of a coat, keeps your outfit a little lighter and always looks gorgeous with a heavy knitted scarf and hat when the icy winter finally comes around. 

I'm wearing the Paddock Green blazer but there is a stunning range of colours for all year round that will fill your blazer gap in your wardrobe. With it's snug tailored fit the details add the experience of wearing this jacket. The Beauchamp blazer is a wool-blend with a taffeta-silk lining, velvet under collar for that snap of colour and wooden buttons. I honestly can't wait till I can wear this without a baby bump underneath so I can reap the full benefits of a perfectly tailored jacket again.

If you're looking for a winter blazer this christmas look no further and make sure you put this on your christmas list! Shop the full colour range here and start dropping the hints!

Skulls in Space

It's Halloween weekend, a weekend you get to dress up and be as creative as you can/can be bothered to be. But what outfit is complete without the perfect accessories?

For all your halloween needs and inspiration I'm talking all about these beautiful silver skull hoop earrings by Naomi Crook. I will be wearing these probably forever with basically every outfit because I just love them so much. Quirky and stand out jewellery is always so much more inspiring than pretty sweet, pieces that anyone can wear. Naomi Crook Jewellery ticks every box for unique jewels whilst keeping it beautiful and original!

Obviously I'm not going out this weekend but receiving these gorgeous hoops inspired me to do a halloween look to go with them. I chose an easy space make up look using Illamasqua eye shadow, white paint, Naked 3 palette, Stila eye liner and Benefit Rollarlash mascara. Keeping it dark purples and deep reds makes the look blend together like far away galaxies. I loved creating this look and it was super fast to do. Blending colours together to make a milky way look and adding in a bit of black eye shadow for depth from the Naked palette, then adding shimmer with Naked 3 and on my lips. Adding detail with white stars with body paint and a thick liner wing to create a good eye emphasis. And of course glitter brows...because why not, it's halloween? 

I loved this look with the earrings adding that little bit of glamour and keeping to the halloween them. The perfect earrings for this weekend, but also for everyday of the year for those who love some good quality skull jewellery. Naomi makes all her pieces by hand at her home and creates pieces inspired by japanese style. For those that love the unique jewellers she is totally for you! 

You can contact her through her Facebook page or her Instagram as her website is currently under construction! So excited to wear these in more outfit posts and show off their versatility!
