Summer sizzle...

Whilst this summer has been a bit of a washout so far (I am holding out for some nicer weather this week!) a rather welcome sunshine package dropped through my door a couple of weeks ago. Aussie never fail to get it right when it comes to putting a smile on my face and this latest parcel was no exception...

I love purple and orange together!

When I opened the box I was greeted with the most heavenly smelling bag filled with all kinds of Aussie goodies.


I am going back to Italy in August and I cannot wait, I had such an amazing time last year and I know that this year is just going to be even better, especially as we will be spending more time in Rome! (EEK!)



I love the limited edition bottles for summer this year, the colours are so pretty and make me feel really summery. My favourite out of these has to be the leave in conditioner, it was a lifesaver last year in the heat, especially when I was spent all of my time either in the pool or sunbathing!


MINIATURES! I love mini toiletries and Mark often has to drag me away from the travel toiletries stand as otherwise I would buy absolutely everything, just because it's small. My mum and sisters have already bagsied some of these and I get the feeling they will try and snaffle the full-size bottles too!


This summer you'll find me at the pool, Aussie towel in tow to save my sun-lounger. I now want a purple bikini to match my Aussie bag too, any recommendations? 

Are you going anywhere on holiday? What makes your summer sizzle?
 

Ballerina bun...

I wore this outfit on Saturday night and I was totally overdressed for the pub, but sometimes it is nice to get dressed up for no reason at all and I would rather be overdressed than under-dressed! The main reason why I wanted to wear this dress though, was because I unearthed it in a box which we hadn't yet unpacked (along with some other wardrobe favourites which will be reappearing on here soon)

Dress: Miss Selfridge, tights: Sainsburys, shoes: Office
I bought this dress in 2010 in one of the infamous Miss Selfridge sales and I originally wore it for Christmas but it has been pulled out for various family meals since because it is just so pretty. I love the blush pink/nude coloured underskirt and the swooshy skirt skims nicely over a food baby (always a win in my book!) 


I usually wear my hair up with this dress as the collar is such a feature and I used my doughnut hair ring to create a truly mahoosive ballerina inspired bun. This hairstyle is potentially a bit severe but the wispy bits I couldn't control made me look less scary (I hope!) Also another hairstyle to add to my very limited follicular repertoire, I never know how to mix it up...


My new favourite make-up look, liquid eyeliner and a nude lip, I will get better with liquid eyeliner, I will!


Do you prefer being overdressed or under-dressed? What do you wear to the pub?
