WHY THE PLAYSUIT IS A SUMMER ESSENTIAL...



Being a blogger, I feel it is greatly assumed that we are all incredibly body confident. As normal human beings, speaking from a personal point of view, this is not the case for most. In past years, especially throughout my teenage years, I have always feared summer clothing because of how exposing some pieces can be. So to find a playsuit that I love and feel comfortable in is, for me, a miracle and it has totally changed my perspective of summer garments. After browsing boohoo.com for some new summer pieces, I discovered this striped playsuit. I fell in love with how smart-causal it is and how the nautical coloured stripes create a fresh, neat, and clean vibe. The great thing about this number is that it can be both dressed up (with a pair of heels and a pretty clutch bag) or dressed for a more daytime look. With this post, I went for the perhaps more wearable, daytime look. I partnered the playsuit with my white pair of converse (always a summer essential!) and my black saffiano Michael Kors tote bag. 



As the title suggested, playsuits are a summer essential, and here are my reasons why...

  • Versatility - A playsuit such as this one can be both dressed up or down depending on the occasion. This means you get your moneys worth as you can style it in many ways - I have so many pieces that I have worn once and in one way only!
  • On trend - Since being originally created in the 1930s, the playsuit has come both on and off fashion scene over the years. However since 2006, this shorter version of the jumpsuit has reemerged in popular high street fashion and has become a staple for most, including myself.
  • Comfortable - Despite being tricky to quickly get on and off, the playsuit is a particularly comfortable garment for anyone who worries about accidental dress exposure... The 'shorts' element eliminates any unwanted shame or embarrassment, so you can walk around in the wind free and confident. Most styles aren't hot pants either, which is fantastic for me as I literally despise any kind of 'short shorts'.
  • Affordable - Don't want to splash out on a new top AND bottoms? The playsuit is ideal, you get a whole new outfit in one!
  • Legs eleven - High waisted styles can make your legs appear longer than they actually are due to the waistband being higher up. 
  • Styles to fit all shapes - Playsuits range in styles, lengths, shapes, and colours! So why not experiment and try out different styles to find your comfiest and most favourable style?



Have I convinced you yet?

If you're still unsure or would just like some more inspo, be sure to keep an eye out on my blog for my own playsuit wishlist that will be uploaded after this post!

CROSS MY HEART LBD...


This slinky black number is a perfect evening dress from the Boohoo Night range at boohoo.com. With its long sleeves and knee length, it'll keep you warmer in the colder weather whilst nipping from taxi to venue. Also with its gorgeous cross over front detail, the dress can look equally stylish by wearing an open coat or with a jacket propped over your shoulders.

BEAUTY: MAC 'IN EXTREME DIMENSION 3D BLACK LASH' MASCARA



 Being someone who has become mildly obsessed with having perfect eyelashes, I have recently gone through many false lashes on nights out, and even considered the currently very hyped about possibility of eyelash extensions. So, you can imagine my excitement when I find a mascara that allows me to achieve long black false lash effect eyelashes without the hassle of glue, falling out eyelashes, or the extra cost each time.

Today's beauty post is all about this MAC mascara - it is pure brilliance. Its formula allows you to volumize, lengthen, and curl your lashes all in one go with just one coat. Just note that, I would suggest that you don't apply any more than two coats of this mascara because it can cause your lashes to look a little heavy and clumpy - not good! Mascara is one product that I really do believe in investing in. There are so many cheap rubbish versions on the market so if you're passionate about makeup and the products you use, I do feel that the more expensive products do mostly achieve better results. This mascara costs £19 which isn't too bad considering it is MAC. As you can see from the picture below, the brush is fairly large, therefore, it would perhaps be tricky for a beginner. However, I find that the wand itself is a great shape for application and easy to hold. 

I was using Benefit's Roller Lash mascara before it unfortunately dried up causing me to branch out to investing in this one. I would say that they are both wonderful, and I highly recommend either to anyone looking for a new mascara. I personally would suggest that someone new to applying makeup would probably prefer the Roller Lash mascara, however anyone who loves their false lashes should definitely check this MAC mascara out!

BEAUTY: NEW YEAR NARS HAUL & REVIEW...




If you're a fan of a bronzed glow, you will absolutely love this face set.
  • FULL SIZE 'HOT SAND' ILLUMINATOR -  As the only full size piece in the set, this shimmering illuminator, described as "peach-champagne" in shade, has become one of the few 'warm' toned highlighting products I have come in contact with. By taking the 'warm' glow approach, I find that my face is given more of a natural glow. In my opinion, this product makes my skin appear less 'chalky' than some 'colder' toned highlighting products would, and therefore seemingly healthier. In terms of texture, it comes in a lightweight liquid form - making it incredibly easy to apply without the requirement of any makeup tools. However, I personally do like to use a beauty blender style makeup sponge to apply and help blend liquid products to my face. A little definitely goes a long way with this illuminator, so there is no need to go crazy. I like to just dot it on the tops of my cheekbones, eyebrow bones, the inner corners of my eyes, centre of my forehead, down my nose, my cupids bow, and a little dab on my chin too. Of course I then blend, blend, blend! I do know some people mix it with their foundation then apply it, however, I personally just find this too much for my skin type. I also use it as my little secret to making my collarbones have a little sparkle - particularly on a night out! 
  • MINI 'SOUTH BEACH' MULTIPLE - Described as "light, shimmering apricot" by NARS, this piece is another iconic product. It can be used to add contour or highlight to a skin tone - which is impressive in itself! The multi-purpose stick is mostly for use on your eyes, cheeks, lips, and body. This product is one that you can apply with your fingers and is perfectly blend-able and mistake proof. The pigments of the multiples are gorgeous, and different colours can be used in different areas. I like to use 'south beach' as a bronzing product, so I tend to add it to the contour on my cheeks & on my body in places I wish to contour a little or add a slight definition (i.e. collarbones). Honestly, this is not a product involved in my everyday make up routine: much like the illuminator, I often only wear them on special occasions when I wish to put in more effort than usual and make myself a bit more made up. However, it could easily fit into an everyday routine, if you wanted. At £26 full size, I would probably say try the mini size first and see how you feel about it, unless you're genuinely so sure you need it in your life because it is quite an investment. BUY FULL SIZE
  • MINI LARGER THAN LIFE LIP GLOSS IN SHADE 'GOLD DIGGER' - Probably my favourite of all three products - this high shine gloss will get your lips the attention they deserve. Described as a "sparkling peach shimmer", it definitely lives up to the claim. I am not a huge wearer of glosses at the moment, however some days I just feel like I need a boost on the sparkle and this gives me just that. When you first apply, you may find it feeling quite thick and tacky, but once it settles and you get used to it you'll probably be finding yourself not minding at all. The shine on this product is genuinely brilliant, and I would definitely recommend. 


This 5* iconic product is one that I am actually repurchasing since I have run out of my original. I can't explain to you how wonderful this blush is, and like many, I am a huge fan. I believe this may be the most popular NARS product? If it isn't, then it is definitely my favourite and incredibly popular with myself regardless. The shade can be described as a "peachy pink with a golden shimmer" - it is a stunning shade and completely saves me on many occasions from looking washed out. As a blusher, I use it on the apples of my cheeks to give me that healthy looking colour and glow.  I 100% recommend to anyone who is in need of a good blusher that doesn't mind investing.



I'll admit, I was slightly bias to this product because of its name - which is normally a complete dick move and works out badly, however I genuinely think this duo is beautiful. The shades are very subtle so they wouldn't be good for someone who loves dramatic eye makeup; but for use in an everyday makeup routine, they are simply gorgeous. I use the lighter shade all over my eyelid, and the darker I apply in the crease of my eyelid for more definition. These are natural eyeshadows, so they do blend in well to a skin tone such as my own, yet are also noticeable and not completely pointless.

COBALT BLUE...

Just a quick little post to share the link of my cobalt blue dress (as seen on my Instagram) with you!
Bandage bodycon dresses are my absolute favourite, so I was guaranteed to love this one. I am also pretty impressed with myself that I managed to wear a dress on a night out that wasn't black for once!

THE £2.50 KIKO MANI-CURE...


It is no secret that I love painting my nails and I love having painted nails. I feel so bare without some sort of colour on my hands, so it is fair to say I have gone through a fair amount of different polishes. So far, no other brand has impressed me like KIKO has and here's why...
