Who Wore It?
The Sailor Dress
Dress: H&M (here) | Tights: Primark | Boots: Ellos
I’m feeling a bit rubbish about my photography again hence so few photos in posts right now. Nothing is quite up to standard when it comes to posing and location. At least now we have longer, lighter days and hopefully better weather I can start thinking outside the box a bit more. To be honest I’ve been feeling pretty rubbish about all aspects of life lately and that’s having a huge knock on effect on everything I enjoy…oh well, the only way is up!

Seventies Style
Jeans: Mango at ASOS (dark wash version) | Top: New Look | Ring c/o Hazel and Kent
I’ve come to realise over the last few weeks that I own very few tops that aren’t basic vests or knits, which makes putting outfits together problematic at times. I saw this gypsy style number in my local New Look and couldn’t resist, it was made for pairing with these jeans and as it also comes in a tan colour I might be going back for another.
I think gold jewellery might have gone with this outfit better but I couldn’t wait to show off this statement silver ring from Hazel and Kent (a brand I discovered through the e-tail PR blogger network). I can’t find the exact style on the website anymore but there are similar styles available for under a tenner- such a bargain for such a statement, high quality piece!
First Thoughts on Philosophy
The first product I tried out was the Fresh Cream Eau de Toilette which has quite possibly topped my list as favourite perfume ever. I’m not quite sure how to describe the fragrance- it’s fresh, it’s sweet and it’s delicious and perfect for every day wearing. A spritz of this is an instant mood boost for me, I love sweet scents and this is just sweet enough without being over bearing or sickly. Perfection.
The second product was the Fresh Cream Shower Gel which again has the fresh, sweet and soothing scent of the perfume. I’ve been using this as a wind down at the end of the day, I find the scent ever so soothing and perfect for washing away the stress of the days. I’ve eyed up the Philosophy shower gels before but haven’t been able to get past the price tag, but this bottle is going to last forever and I think it’s high time I adopted a quality over quantity approach to my toiletry buying from now on.
The third and final product in the package was the one that caused the most intrigue. I love a good facial but can’t afford them on a regular basis and don’t always feel in the mood for having someone in my personal space (the same reason I rarely visit a hairdresser). The Microdelivery Peel Kit is the perfect solution to getting the facial experience at home and couldn’t be easier to use, or feel more luxurious. After months of central heating and drying cold air this has bought a much needed glow back to my face. It might be pricey but works out a lot cheaper than heading to a salon- it also looks rather snazzy in the bathroom cabinet which is always a plus don’t you think?
