Wedding Fever - The Perfect Summer Wedding Dress

As soon as summer hits and the weather picks up, you know it's wedding season! That calls for a new outfit, new accessories, new hair, new nails, the whole lot!

Searching for the perfect summer wedding dress can be a daunting experience if your as picky as I am: is it suitable, too short, too long, etc... But look no further Chi Chi Clothing has the perfect dress for everyone. With various styles, colours and lengths to suit any wedding or event!


I love Chi Chi Clothing, they are so on trend delivering quality occasion wear that's easy on the pocket! I was lucky enough to be sent this gorgeous dress to style.
So here I have created two summer wedding looks. My first look is for the casual wedding using modern accessories to keep the look contemporary. My second look is a more formal, classic look pairing the dress with a vintage clutch and gloves, throwing on a fur shrug or even a shawl to cover the shoulders when it gets chilly. 


Look 1:
Fluffy Bag / River Island , Floral Headband / Folkster , Nude Heels / New Look

  

Look 2:
Clutch & Gloves / Vintage , Sunglasses / Topshop
Nude Heels / New Look , Fur Shrug (below) / Vintage


Sorry I have been missing in action this month as I'm only just back from a fab holiday in Orlando, Florida! 
I'll get a mini holiday blog post up in the next few days for you lovely readers so you can have a goo at a few holiday snaps!

Hope you liked my latest look, and the best news is this dress is now on sale!
Get it here (click) before its gone!!!

So...?

Feels like I've been transported back in time! This 90's favourite is making a big comeback with more and more fabulous new fragrances available, there's a scent to suit everybody! I was lucky enough to be sent some products by So...? to review. 

 
 
 
So...? Fragrances Eau De Toilette 30ml / €6.95 , 50ml / €9.95 , Body Fragrance 75ml / €1.99
Available from Penneys, Superdrug and selected Pharmacies

The So..? original fragrance has to be my favourite! The scent is so fresh and delicate, with notes of orange flower, rose, jasmine, vanilla and sandlewood. It's so girly yet not overwhelming, it's perfect for everyday wear!

So...? Sexy is one of the newest So..? fragrances available. The packaging designs are fab, I love the fishnet design on So...? Sexy. The scent is similar to the original So...? fragrance with notes of mandarin, rose, jasmine, sandlewood and musk but with a flirtier fruitier edge. Perfect for everyday or evening wear!

Even though these fragrances are Eau de Toilette the scent lasts for ages and is released beautifully from the skin throughout the day! 

However as for the body fragrances, I'm not a fan of body fragrance (I even try to avoid scented deodorants). I think they end up smelling very overpowering, very chemical and stale. I highly recommend spending the extra few quid for an Eau de Toilette which will smell much better and last much longer. 


Those of you who know me know I love my luxury fragrances! But after trying the So..? Fragrances again after all these years made me remember that you don't have to fork over big bucks to smell fabulous! These purse friendly, stylish fragrances are the perfect everyday scent and they even fit in your handbag! What more could you want!

Have a great week!

Shoe Unboxing With River Island Part 2

 
 
 
 

I'm madly in love with my new summer sandals from River Island!

I suffer from weak knees and find it very painful to stay in heels for long periods of time! But the front platform, the chunky heel and the cushioned sole make these shoes incredibly comfy! So comfy in fact that I can wear them all day and all night long pain free and without moaning! 

They look fab for summer BBQs or nights out on the town with pretty sun dresses and tan leather accessories to match (a belt or a clutch bag). 

I know that these will be my go to shoe for summer nights! Plus they come in loads of different colours including metallic gold, pastel pink and white! Oooo tempting!

Have a great week!
