Spring Feeling

Hello Spring...about time too, it felt like winter lasted forever. I'm overly keen to see the warmer weather arrive and outfits requiring less layering. However with the fresh crisp wintery winds and evenings, it's still the perfect time to accessorise perfectly with HollandCooper beanies.

This is one of my current favourite Spring outfits, fresh but snug, everything you need to look sweet in Spring. This cable knit beanie in Biscuit is so cute and warm it's perfect for spring outfits in the colder days and with it's paler colour looks a lot more neutral and earthy. I don't usually wear or look good in beanies but I can't stop wearing this gorgeous one! Paired with a fresh white shirt from Jack Wills and their high waisted blue jeans (always go for the high waisted) make for a clean cut outfit for the colder sunshine. With the hat, shirt, jeans and bag it makes for a fresh colour palette which I love in outfits.

As it's still pretty chilly I find taking my gorgeous Preloved Boutique Truro tote out with me, fits everything I need in for a day shopping. A light jacket or scarf, mittens, make up and of course my camera for blogging photos, it fits everything, compliments the outfit and adds another natural tone. It does help when your hair is the same colour as the bag so you can't really have an outfit it won't go with. I have been using this on my little trips to London which fits all my essentials in that I don't want to put into my suitcase. It's a total lifesaver. 

Finishing my spring outfit with my favourite little everyday ankle boots from Topshop which are now reduced to £30 (they are super cute and comfy definitely not a deal to miss) 

I don't really do well in winter as I hate the cold and wet weather but now the sun is shining more I have some lush outfits to blog and they will be up very soon! Some seriously fluffy outfits coming your way! FiveFootFour is out of hibernation! 

Winter Wondering

Exploring and finding new places to adventure is something I've always loved doing and as the crisp winter air finally hit, it was time to venture out in the cold and feel properly alive. We stumbled across these old remains of a house and decided to shoot you a blog post on one of my favourite winter outfits. 

White is always a beautiful colour to wear in winter. I for one am totally guilty for wanting to do all-black-everything everyday of the week but I need to branch out into bright colours when the rains and the cold sets in. This is one of my all time classics, my cable knit jumper from Jack Wills, it's super warm and great for layering when it's freezing. I wore a little shirt underneath so I had a pastel colour poking out by my neck so my pale skin doesn't totally disappear into my sweater. (Funny but serious)

It was of course another perfect opportunity to show off my Fairfax & Favour boots that I can't get enough of, The quality of them is just amazing and totally worth every penny. The option to personalise them and fit the colour to your outfit with the interchangeable tassels on the zips is such a beautiful quality these boots have. (you've already seen the colour pop of the blue in my snowy blog post but I just adore them)  I really can't wait for spring so I can show these babies off in spring wear. The tan colour brings the outfit to life and stops it from being completely dull.

My jeans are my safety net, everyone has that one pair of jeans you wear till they die...and even then you still wear them because you can't bring yourself to throw them away. Thankfully these jeans are not done yet but they are my favourite. As i'm petite it is a total nightmare trying to find jeans that fit all your measurements but honestly these JONI jeans from Topshop fit like a glove.

I'm dying for the warmer weather so we can do more fun blog posts with brighter colours and sunshine but I have some totally different experiments coming this year and over june there will be some really new things I haven't done on the blog before, I'm so exciteddd...roll on summer!!! 

How To - Festival MakeUp ft. House of Fraser PT 2

Part 1 was all about how I got this look using make up from Mac Cosmetics and Urban Decay from House Of Fraser* but now it's time to show you how I top this look off for festivals this summer! 

My obsession with headpieces is growing super fast so I have to involve some favourites that I'd definitely wear to festivals, you can't stand out without one. Paired with one of my favourite playsuits by Jack Wills (I honestly wear them to festivals because if you fall over no one is going to see your pants, little Crystal tip right there) and my all time loves, my brown suede wedges from Topshop, the comfiest wedges I own.

Both head pieces are by Holly Young Headwear and the first is just amazing. Feathers and sparkles, can't get much more festival than that. I love it and it's super comfy to wear, adding a twist to the make up and complimenting the light smokey eyed look. The second is just the sweetest, it reminded me of Snow White. EVERYONE wears floral crowns to festivals now so why not mix it up with some gold apples and mini pink flowers? It's so pretty and turns my make up look into something more magical. Even though the make up look isn't in your face (excuse the pun) it's just subtle and laid back, no one wants make up running down their face when dancing because you caked it on. These products are perfect for the natural smokey eye and a whisp on colour on the lips. After all, less is more. And with some added patterns, heels and headwear you're all set to take on any festival this year! 

BIG thankyou to House Of Fraser* for setting me this exciting and super fun challenge, hope you enjoyed the read and visuals.

And thankyou to the lovely Jade Berry for taking all the photos! 

Cutesie Blue

Happy hump day everyone! Hope you're all having a good week and looking forward to another bank holiday weekend. The weather is slowly getting better and I'm so excited to start spending hours on the beach having BBQs, exploring new places and staying on the beach till sunset. All the best things about summer are yet to come, including our favourite summer outfits. 

You guys have seen this dress before but it is one of my all time favourites because it's just so comfy and super cute. Baby blue is definitely in this year and with its sweet little petticoat underneath it's the perfect dress for summer occasions. I wore this back on my 21st birthday but we all have items we never get over and keep wearing whenever we can. This little blue beauty is from Jack Wills and they always have the prettiest summer dresses that you can wear over and over again and last forever, just like this one. Perfect for a casual look for prom, a wedding, a ball, a garden party or just dinner with family and friends. They are after all one of my favourite brands for a reason and their timeless pieces are definitely part of that.

My Jack Wills Story

To anyone who knows me they will know Jack Wills has always been a brand close to my heart and a pretty big obsession for me, so you can imagine how excited I am to be blogging about them right now! YAY!

I was lucky enough to be sent a little voucher from Jack Wills and was asked to show them what I bought with it, so whilst in london i popped into the store just off Carnaby Street to have a browse. I never struggle to find things I want in here. Ever since I was 14 Jack Wills have been my number one brand and a day out for me would be going into my nearest store up north with my Dad (he's also a big fan) and having a shopping day. It's a totally different shopping experience which is why I love it so much, I genuinely want this interior for my house. 

After chatting to some lovely employees and telling them about my blog etc we did a little photo shoot in store as I knew you guys would love it and another way to introduce you to this amazing brand if you haven't heard of it before (I seriously hope you have though). A big thankyou to Harley and Holly for making me laugh so much and helping all afternoon and being fabulous models and the lovely Sian for taking our fun photos! 

After obsessing over JW for the whole of my teenage years blue and pink are my absolutely favourite colour combo so i opted for some new pink and blue joggers for the gym. SUPER comfy, soft and just lush! THANKYOU Jack Wills for them! 

I have also followed my childhood dream this year and applied for the Jack Wills Seasonnaires again, so super duper fingers crossed I get to spend summer with some amazing people representing this Fabulously British company!
