Best of Blush

March 21, 2017


Spring has just begun, apparently, although my frozen fingers and toes tell me differently right now. Even so, the shops are brimmed with spring beauties, pastel colours, lace, frills and my favourite... blush pinks.

Here's my 'Best of Blush' for this Spring.

Firstly this gorgeous pink jacket from Forever 21, retailing at £23, its the perfect way to add a layer and a bit of colour too. Perfectly paired with white or light jeans and a nice casual tee.

Second on my list is this beautiful blush top from River Island, costing £30 its a beautiful top that can be dressed up with skinny light jeans and a nice pair of rose gold and blush heels, or dressed down a little with skinny jeans and flats. Either way, its absolutely gorgeous and will definitely be making its way into my wardrobe as soon as I can get my hands on it!

Next up, by far the most expensive of my 'best of,' is this gorgeous Michael Kors smart watch in rose gold and blush. This baby will set you back a whooping £359 - yep, when I win the lottery, I will defo be trying this cutie out... but for now, I will just stare at my screen and drool.

Light coloured pants and children don't go, in fact, light coloured pants and me don't go. But if ever my clumsiness fades and my Daughter decides that wiping her mouth and hands on me is no longer acceptable.. I might just treat myself to these peachy cigarette trousers, £25 from Miss Guided, they have a really elegant look to them, so if you are child free and don't tend to spill the contents of your lunch all over yourself, give these a try.

Of course there has to be some shades, it is spring after all... apparently the time of year when we start to see a little bit more of the 'big bright ball in the sky,' that thing we call the Sun (it doesn't make much of an appearance here in Britain - but we live in hope!)  So, for when it does decide to come out to play, here's some sunglasses from Zara, just £15.99 and they have a super cool, yet pretty look to them. If I suited sunglasses, I would obviously purchase these, my problem is that I look like some sort of fly no matter what kind of sunglasses I try.

Lastly, these cute trainers are a steal at just £19.99 from H&M, yes, there not branded, so if your a 'label' kinda girl, these wont suit, but for me, as long as the footwear goes with my outfit, I'm not fussed if its got a tick or stripes down the sides or not! I think they also did these in a mint colour (I can't actually remember) but as this is 'best of blush' these are of course blush!

So there you have it, my 'best of blush', let me know if you have recently purchased any 'blush beauties' and share them with me.

My Forever 21 Khaki Best Picks - Under £20

March 20, 2017


I'm a massive fan of the khaki colour. Its bold, its a statement colour, it goes with your staples.. black, denim and white/cream & brown.

I have chosen 4 of my 'must have' wardrobe essentials, and they are all under £20 each, I've also paired them up in outfits to show you how you could wear them.

My first choice is a classic belted playsuit. It has 3/4 length sleeves that are casually turned up, its a loose fit with a nice plunging neckline. The belt ties the waist in nicely to add shape & show of a figure rather than being 'baggy'. I would team this up with a nice black & gold or rose gold chocker combination and open toe lace up heel shoe boots.



Shoes £29.00
Chocker £8.00
Playsuit £19.00
All Forever 21

My second choice is a khaki button front mini skirt, perfect for shopping days, restaurant dates, and when you want to dress up nice without feeling 'over dressed'. The button up front adds a nice amount of detail to make the skirt stand out and add a bit of character. I would pair this up with a nice ribbed high neck top cream or black (either long or short sleeve depending on weather) with a nice layered necklace, brown crossbody bag and brown boots or sandals weather dependant!


Sandals £15.00
Top £9.99
Necklace £3.15
Bag £13.99
Skirt £13.00
All Forever 21

My third choice is the khaki Military Jacket, my absolute favourite for an everyday casual look, (I swear by my military jacket, its the best way to add a layer that is strong and statement without being 'a coat'. I pair mine with absolutely anything! Vest tops, graphic tees, high necks.. you name it, somehow anything goes. I've coordinated this one with a black lace oversized graphic tee, black high waisted leggings and black hi top trainers with a chunky white sole.

T Shirt £15.00
Leggings £13.00
Trainers £14.99
Jacket £19.00
All Forever 21

Lastly I chose a cute khaki top that can easily be work with your jeans, or a skirt and dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For outfit purposes I've teamed it up with black skinny jeans, caged heels and a black leather jacket, perfect for a cinema date or a few drinks in the pub with friends.

Jeans £13.00
Jacket £20.00
Heels £29.00
Top £16.00
All Forever 21

I'm crazy for khaki, no matter what time of year it is, it goes with all sorts and its a nice bold but neutral colour. I can't believe how well priced some of these bargains are, snap them up whilst you can! I

f you have any recent khaki purchases, let me see... A girl can never have too many clothes!
