Any Size | White Dress

 

As you can see I am missing one size, unfortunately I couldn't find anyone to do size 14 for me, but we still have three gorgeous ladies showing us how to style their little white dress - a summer staple for sure for any size...

Size 8 | Callie from cllrs
I love this dress. Teaming her little white dress with denim is a classic summer look that you cannot go wrong with, popped with her ankle boots toughens the look and keeps it chic and stylish.

Size 10 | Chelsea from Through Chelseas Eyes
One of my fave ever bloggers and regular any sizers, Chelsea looks gorgeous in this 50s style prom dress. It's the perfect summer evening dress, simple accessories and fab wavy hair. Love this look, hello tiny waist!

Size 12 | Ally from Tea Toast and Daisy Chains
Ally is putting a fab twist on the little white dress, putting it with a classic blazer but make the entire look seem very rock and roll. Really suits her and I love the twist on this.

A big thank you to all three girlies, you'll be seeing Chelsea and Ally again next week - be excited!!
If you are interested in getting involved let me know, in particular I need more size 14's for Any Size..! 

What's your fave look? How do you style your white dress?

Outfit | Not a Saints Fan






top: topshop | jeans: topshop | necklace as bracelet: topshop | lips: revlon colorstay suede lipstick in finale

First I need to explain the name. I may have accidently worn this to Southampton on the first day of the Premiership, with my boyfriend - who happened to be wearing an actual Saints shirt. This happened to look like I was also supporting Southampton. So no, not a Saints fan! Just an unfortunate coincidence.

So, I bought this breton style crop top, thinking it would be longer, not a crop top, but there you go. It came like this and I do still like it. Probably not the most flattering on me in these photos but I think it looks nice in real life. I also managed to match my lips with this gorgeous lippy from Revlon, part of their ColorStay Suede Lipstick collection in the shade of Finale. Really seems to match it well!

How do you match your lips and outfit?

Make Up | Baby Lips








Yup, so it happened. I caved to the hype and went and bought myself two of Maybelline's much coveted Baby Lips lip balm. 
If you weren't aware, these have just popped over from the US and the UK has gone crazy over them, which considering they are pretty much just a lip gloss seems a bit much but - are they worth the hype? They give intense care, 8 hours hydration and 20 SPF. There's 6 in the collection, 3 of which are clear and provide different types of care, and the other 3 are tinted balms.

I bought two of the tinted ones, Pink Punch and Peach Kiss. Pink Punch is a lovely baby pink, and Peach Kiss is a nude peach colour with a touch of shimmer to it. Both are silky smooth to apply and feel very hydrating on the lips. They have the real feel of a balm - not a gloss or lipstick an can be applied easily without a mirror - again just like a balm.

In terms of the hype it's received - I wouldn't say it was worth all of it. It's a lovely lip balm, I cannot deny that, and I do really like them and will be purchasing the rest at some point. For £2.99 they are great value and I would definitely recommend them. What I would say is don't expect them to change your life - they really are just tinted balms. But very nice ones.

Have you tried Baby Lips? What's your favourite?

Make Up | Colour Tattoo in On & On Bronze






Yes, I know, I am ridiculously late jumping on this bandwagon. I don't know why but everytime I popped one in my basket, it would find its way back out of the basket before I hit the checkout. So when I popped into Superdrug recently I put it in, and kept it there, telling myself it was about time I tried one! Let's face it, a £4.99 eyeshadow isn't really doing to break the bank.

So, this is a cream gel eyeshadow that is long lasting and comes in metallic shimmery shades. It's also meant to last for 24 hours (as the name suggests). I got On & On Bronze because I tend to wear this type of colour on my eyes all the bloody time, it's very predictable but hey, it works. I do also really want to try Everlasting Navy as well though, I am a navy lover!

So what did I think? Well, it's easy to apply - however I use my fingers and my nails keep digging into it which isn't ideal, but apart from my fingers I just can't get to grip with any other type of brush with cream shadows. Anywho, it glides onto the lids easily and blends like nothing else I've used, it's lovely and smooth. The colour is a gorgeous bronze that helps bring out the brown in my eyes. Longevity wise, it lasts for hooours and what I love most - it does NOT crease. I find cream shadows tend to gather in the creases, but this doesn't at all and I love it for that.

Overall, I am so glad I FINALLY bought this. It's a great little product and I will definitely be picking up more shades.

Have you tried these eyeshadows? What's your favourite shade?

Trends | Matching Lips and Nails





This was purely by accident. I painted my nails my new Barry M shade of Pomegranate, then I popped on one of my new lippys from Revlon, Ultimate Suede range in Trendsetter, and then I looked at myself and OH! Look at me my lips are matching my nails... And I loved the affect.

The most colourful part of my make up is always my lips and nails, so really it should just make sense that it matches. My eyes usually stay a fairly neautral colour, with some black liner somewhere, so really my lips need to be that little bit different. This shade from Revlon is a gorgeous raspberry pink, the right mix of red and pink in a matte, suede finish. Long lasting and oh so incredibly gorgeous. Team that with Pomegranate, from Barry M's oh so durable Gelly range and voila. You have yourself a perfect match.

This is quite a nifty little trend, and one I will defintely be trying again - and on purpose this time! 

Do you match your nails and lips?
