Holiday Essentials
So I jet off to Greece on Friday for a long weekend as a surprise for my dad's 60th Birthday. The amount of phone calls we have shared where I have almost blown the surprise should go down in history! But, so far so good and he doesn't suspect a thing! I just wanted to share a couple of the things that I'll be taking along and obsessing over whilst I'm there.
Porter Magazine
Monica Vinader Fiji bracelet
Clarins instant light complexion perfector
The Little Deer sunglasses
This is not ALL of my packing, but that lot is too much of a mess to share with you, so you get the edited version instead!
Have a lovely weekend and I'll be posting some holiday outfits once I'm home.
Thank you so much for reading

To the Max
The maxi
dress has taken the Summer season by storm, kicking the mini and midi dresses
little butt out of our walk in wardrobes. Not only are they the perfect garment
to throw on with a pair of flip fops for the school run, but dressed up with
some statement jewellery and a pair of heels for a night on the town.
Maxi dresses
have not only graced the high street retail outlets, but also the red carpet at
some of the most prestigious events on this year’s social calendar. Fabric can
be made for comfort or structure, lightweight or embellished and every colour
from the rainbow palette.
Dark neutrals and colours such as
black, chocolate brown, deep plums and green minimize and make you look taller.
However colours that are similar to your skin tone works equally well in
elongating your petite body frame.
Prints need to be scaled to your
body frame - so avoid large patterns. If you're a petite plus size opt for
medium scale prints.
If you have a full-figure
body, larger prints complement your frame
without making your curves too obvious in comparison.
·
If you're petite and/or skinny, smaller prints
will suit you best without overwhelming your stature.
·
If you're petite and a plus size you
can wear medium and some large sized prints as long as they stretch vertically
to create a lean line.
·
Short statures are easily
affected by colour-blocking, it makes
them look shorter and wider.
·
Long, vertical prints are great
for elongating and slimming down any body figure.
Make sure the straps of your maxi dress compliments your bust size by keeping larger busts
supported with adjustable straps. For smaller busts wear a bandeau or halter
neck strap to accentuate your curves. We all love how many varieties the maxi
dress comes in, always keeping us in style, effortlessly.
Are you loving the maxi?
