Date night

We all know the stress of trying to figure out what to wear for a date. 
How do I wear my hair? What make up shall i wear?  

It's more stress full trying to sort out the way we want to look, than it is going on the actual date!!

Well... it all depends on where you're going, out for dinner, to the movies or just for a coffee. They all have different ways you should dress. You wouldn't go for a coffee wearing what you would wear on a night out - Or, would you?!

Coffee or laid back date

If you're going on a date like this, you don't want to go too over the top. Keep it natural and smart but casual. Wear something you feel comfortable in so you feel more relaxed.

Ripped skinny jeans

Bardot top

If your being wined and dined on your date, then you will want something a bit more dressed up.... A nice dress and heels or even a fancy jumpsuit.

If your not sure where you're being taken, opt for something in between, a little bit dressy but still smart and casual.

Open shoulder dress

Strappy lace up shoes

If in doubt, flats are always a good option, they are comfy and with so many cute styles to compliment your outfit... You will find something for you.

Whats the most memorable date you've ever been on?

Festival guide

Festival season is here!!
 Which means good music, amazing friends and very muddy fields.

If you're heading to a festival this year make sure you read on to find out the essentials.

What to wear...

Most of the festivals in the UK are in the summer so it will probably be quite warm, but it rains A LOT so make sure you've got some waterproofs and wellies. At night it still gets pretty chilly so be sure to have hoodies and warmer clothing for the night.

Clear raincoat

Hunter wellies

Sleeping...

If you're staying over at the festivals you need to have these essentials. Make it a comfy place you can retreat to after a long day of dancing and having fun. An airbed with a couple of duvets and pillows and cuddle up with your besties to keep warm.

Accessories

If you have your phone with you and other personal items invest in a bum bag, they have soared back into fashion and will stop you loosing your important stuff.

Earplugs to drown out the noise at night, some people just don't sleep at festivals so if you still want to catch your beauty sleep, you will need a pair.

 Earplugs

Socks and lots of them! If it rains your socks are not going to last the day.... No one wants trench foot from wearing wet socks all day!

Knee high socks 

Its the UK so we all know it will probably rain. So make sure you've got a fab umbrella to keep dry.

Swimwear for everyone!

Swimwear is one of those items that you love to look at but can never find anything that looks or feels right. There are bikinis, tankinis, one pieces, strapless and multi way, the list is endless. 

First if you want a bit more cover and want some extra support you want a one piece. There are lots of colours and patterns to choose from they don't all look like the ones you had to wear for swimming lessons in school.

If you want to cover up but don't mind not having any support a tankini would be a great idea for you.

Now if you want that all over tan and to show off your body, you need a bikini!

If you were blessed with a slightly bigger chest there are lots of stores that stock bigger cup swimwear.  For example ASOS fuller bust DD+ have a great range. Its not just bikinis either there are full swimsuits too.

Make sure if you're in the sun you apply lots of sun cream, drink lots of water and make sure to have breaks in the shade!

Summer rain

Now hear me out on this one but when you don't want to ruin your nice shoes in the rain but its also way to hot for wellies, what do you do?. Crocs! Don't panic i don't mean the ones that we all famously hate, they have some that look like actual shoes and best of all wont get ruined in the rain.

Wedding guest outfits

When your a guest at a wedding it can be difficult trying to decide what to wear. You want to look good but not too good as all the attention is to go on the bride.  do you wear a hat? Do you wear something bright or keep it simple with black? Sit back and let us help you figure it out! 

For a wedding you want to keep your look classy and avoid very short mini skirts and dresses. Also avoid anything to revealing as it is a wedding not a night out on the town. keep your make up simple and fresh with a paler lip and not to dramatic on the eyes.
