My Love Meets My First Love

Ever since I found out I was pregnant I've been looking forward to this very moment. I dreamt everyday of taking her to see the sea for the first time. For me it is like her getting christened, her meeting the ocean that constantly gives me inner peace was so important to me, and this trip was more than perfect.

Berries & Knits

Autumnal outfits are all I'm thinking about right now, the air is getting crisper but the sun is still warm enough to make you smile as it warms your back. So naturally I have to share more snuggly outfits with you to help you all embrace Autumn and get your knits on. 

I am pretty obsessed with my green tartan skirt from Missguided that I can't seem to stop wearing at the minute, I'm sure you've seen it on instagram a few times. It's a perfect piece to wear with a jumper, a shirt or just a t-shirt tucked in if it's a bit warmer. Ankle boots, knee highs or over the need boots are all totally hot with it too. BIG favourite right now!

And yeah as we know it's getting to the stage when we leave the house it's all dewy and you can see your breath (not the best wake up call) but hey we have to dress for the occasion. Queue heavy knits! Big knits are something I happily welcome into my life, I'm a snuggler not a tolerator, I like being wrapped up. Double knits are even better, over sized jumpers and massive scarves (from fatface and H&M) are ALWAYS a good idea when it's cold and it's like wearing a big hug at all times, so why not? 

Had a super nice day shoot these autumn looks with Griffin Photography, other models Katie and Laura not to mention little Betty the puppy...she melts my heart.

As of October I will be trying to break into something new to keep my motivation and goals on point so keep an eye out for new things!  

Rock Envy Hair Crush

The most fun I've had on a shoot to date was a recent shoot for Rock Envy Hair Extensions. I've never had the need to buy extensions as I have long hair and wearing them to make my hair thicker, had volume and bounce never even crossed my mind...until I wore the Vibrant Auburn RockEnvy Volumiser piece and I fell in love with how amazing my hair felt. It was thick and full, not to mention a perfect colour match to add tones through my hair. With only the highest quality hair used, it wasn't surprising that it genuinely felt like my own hair and I couldn't even find them when it came to taking them out. 

For those of you who use hair extensions for length, volume or whatever reason look no further, I wouldn't recommend anyone else. It was super easy to style into my hair and held like normal hair, it was amazing how the curls were falling as fast as my actual hair into lush loose waves...as you can tell it looks like completely natural hair on all the models. Gorgeous pieces in different sizes for different application and also the most beautiful clip in hair accessories with blue feathers, perfect for festivals. 

Find your perfect extensions on ROCKENVY's website or their facebook page! 

Definitely my summer must have!

Take Me To The Weekend

Like most people I am getting so excited for summer to arrive, warmer weather, sun kissed skin, festivals, beach breaks and longer days. Summer is definitely the best season of the year for fun and making memories.  

Festival season is definitely one of the biggest signs that summer has arrived and this post is all about my festival fashion with FatFace*. Their new season line "Take Me To The Weekend" is rammed with pieces that are perfect for festivals and making sure you rock your festival style. Festivals are my favourite part of summer, along with weekends at the beach and exploring new places with friends. For this feature with  FatFace* I have styled the super comfy Dungarees and the gorgeous Chester Crochet Kimono to fit my personal festival style and spent an afternoon creating a lookbook with Griffin Photography for you all.

These are my first pair of dungarees I've owned since I was little and I'm seriously glad I have them now. Their are amazingly comfortable which is great for dancing around and obviously fabulous looking. I paired them with a lace crop top from NewLook, but you can also style it with bright t shirts, other crop tops and shirts to fit your own style. I like to keep my festival fashion pretty casual and comfy for dancing and getting up to anything slightly random after a few drinks. No festival outfit is complete for me without some hot accessories. For this outfit I chose a bright floral headpiece from Holly Young Headwear along with some jewels to add more colour and a boho feel. Festivals can get a little messy and muddy but these dungarees still look super hot with wellies and are still short enough to avoid mud splashes.

My second festival outfit is based around the Ivory FatFace* Kimono, which I need to add is so soft and beautiful it's amazing for festivals that you want to feel more chilled out at but stay looking awesome. I styled it with my Levi cut off shorts and a tassel top from Topshop. I love floaty clothing at festivals that move with you when you dance and make you stand out and this is an outfit I cannot wait to rock this summer. I changed up the headpiece to a more neutral colour but kept the turquoise necklace, which matches perfectly with my tassle bag I picked up on my travels in thailand. I love the boho vibes that float around festivals lately, all taking huge inspiration from the one and only Coachella festival. I style my outfits heavily around these vibes and my jewellery pieces from Tegen Jewellery fit in so well to this, especially the triangle necklace and silver bangles. 

No matter what your plans are for your summer weekends these two beautiful pieces are a must for your summer wardrobe. Beach days in your dungarees or just a country walk in the sun with the chester kimono to give you some protection, both are a must have for adventures. And remember the best accessory you need with these is definitely a smile and good times, it's all about having fun after all!

Shop these pieces and more your weekends away on the FatFace* website!

Festival Teasers

My life is super manic at the moment but I honestly couldn't be happier with the way everything is going and the amazing shoots that I'm doing. I have a super exciting one coming very soon with a fantastic brand that most of you will hopefully be familiar with. 

It's been a crazy day with a shoot in a spa this morning and this exciting shoot this afternoon. The sun is out and it's such lovely weather I got my gorgeous friend Holly Kenyon (whom I call my little sister) to take some behind the scenes pictures to share with you all and give you a little hint at what's to come very soon, and of course there are selfies! Perhaps you can guess who the brand is from these teasers?

Can't wait to get the final images and share them with you all and especially for festival season it's going to fit in perfectly!
