Hello Sugarpies!!! Today's blog post is on this gorgeous floral Audrey Hepburn inspired  "Lindy Bop " dress. I have owned this beautiful dress for awhile now and it is also one of my favourite purchases from " Lindy Bop ." If you have not heard of " Lindy Bop " before , it is a brand that has an online website that sells gorgeous vintage inspired dresses! From your 1940's wiggle dresses to your 1950's swing/jive dresses . Vintage lover or not , I guarantee there will be a stunning dress that will catch your eye at "Lindy Bop ."
I fell in love with the floral Audrey inspired dresses  , I just couldn't help myself , so I was a little cheeky and bought two dresses. One in the colour Turquoise and one in the colour Red.

July Favourites ( SUMMER 2014 )




Hello Sugarpies!! I hope everyone is well :D Today's blog post is my July favourites. I don't often upload favourite blog posts , as I also seem to forget or before I remember to upload a favourites post it is the middle of the next month lol...So I am really happy I  had some time to upload a favourites post early this month :D

xoxox











My New Look statement necklace has been one of go to pieces of jewellery this month. I absolutely love this necklace , it is a fabulous piece of jewellery that can glam up any simple causal outfit to give it a little spice.

 £7.00  ( Bought in the winter sale 2013 )









 I have never used Batiste dry shampoo before. I have seen a lot of beauty bloggers and beauty gurus recommend this dry shampoo.  So when I was doing some last minute shopping before going away on my holidays I picked up the batiste floral dry shampoo to take on holiday with me , as I didn't want to dry my hair out by washing it to much. This dry shampoo is amazing!!! It is so handy to have a bottle of this on stand by... Perfect for just freshening up your  hair and smell is divine. 


SUPERDRUG £1.50
BOOTS £2.99
BLOW £1.28







Primark hand gels are my favourite hand gels!!! Sugar Candy is my favourite scent. There are so handy to have around and at £1.00 you can't go wrong!







On the days I wear my make up , Bourjois healthy mix foundation has been my go to foundation this month!!! Perfect full coverage , but feels very light on your skin and gives your skin a gorgeous healthy glow!! As a pale girl I struggle to find a foundation that matches my skin tone , but the shade " Vanille" matches my skin perfectly!!

TESCO £8.05
SUPERDRUG £8.99
FEEL UNIQUE  £9.99







Lately I have been obsessed with flowered head crowns!!! Super cute and adorable hair accessory to wear , and perfect for the summer season. I own countless flowered head crowns , but this gorgeous light pink is my favourite. Super pretty and girly!

Primark - £3.00  






Gariner ultimate blends avocado oil and shea butter repairer shampoo and conditioner is definitely a shampoo and conditioner I would recommend! If you are someone who bleaches /dyes there hair like myself , or have damaged dry hair , this shampoo and conditioner is perfect for you!!! This shampoo and conditioner leaves your hair feeling soft and smooth which helps restore natural  oils into your dry hair! It has done my hair wonders.

SUPERDRUG - £2.79 ( Shampoo )
SUPERDRUG - £3.89 ( Conditioner )

That Simple Navy Dress.... ( HOW YOU STYLING SERIES ) 4 Different Ways #1




Hello Sugarpies!!! I hope everyone is well :) I recently came up with an idea for my blog to do a series called " HOW YOU STYLING" Every 2 weeks I will upload a blog post on one simple clothing item . Which will show 4 different fun ways of styling that clothing item at a completely affordable and adorable way.
So here we go.. :D  My first blog post on my " HOW YOU STYLING SERIES"  


This Week's clothing item is a simple navy jersey bodycon dress which I bought from BOOHOO for £8.00

See Below how I style my outfits up!!!



Look 1





A Pop of colour is always a good way of styling up any simple outfit! Coral is a  perfect colour for the summer and is very complimentary against the colour navy.
To style my outfit , I added a neck scarf which I bought from a local vintage shop for the bargain price of £3.00!!! I also added my coral bag which I purchased from Primark a couple of years ago for £7.00! Keeping an outfit fun , stylish , and classic remember when adding that" pop of colour" not to go to OTT. A couple of accessories to your outfit do the trick perfectly!

Neck Scarf - Local Vintage Shop - £3.00
Bag - Primark - £7.00
Shoes - New Look - £22.99

Look 2






Stripes!!! If you are not confident at adding a pop of colour to your outfit yet .. Then why not try stripes!!! A simple and timeless look which works well with any basic colour. Stylish and classic.. Add a statement necklace to your look and that is all you need for a funky but sophisticated look. Over my dress I added my striped Zara long sleeve crop top which I bought in the sale last year for £12.00 , to create the illusion that I am wearing a pencil skirt instead of a dress!! Add that statement necklace , some cute heels and you are good to go!!! 


Crop Top - Zara - £12.00
Statement Necklace - Boohoo - £6.00
Heels - New Look - £15.99

Look 3





Like standing out from the crowd ? Vibrant, bold and making a statement... Add a bright patterned blazer to jazz up your look and I guarantee all eyes will be on you. For this look I went with a bright floral blazer which I bought from Primark for £13.00 and added some cute red bold wedges to complete this look.
