Outfit of the Night: Mesh Midi Dress

Hi Gals!

I never say 'gals' by the way haha! Okay so after my slight obsession as mentioned in my previous trend post I went out and ordered myself a mesh dress...

ASOS

I'm not gonna lie just before I left my home I felt tad bit naked, but I kind of put it to the back of my mind and even though I got some 'oh my' looks on my night out I am hoping the high street latches on to the trend soon so I can purchase more items.

What's even better is my fella was 100% supportive of the dress (complete with bandeau and knickers) and really took the mick out of me for practically going out in my undies. Its great to have a boyfriend who likes to show me off rather then be insecure and try and get me to change clothes.Because lets face it, there's no way I would change!

Do you think you could wear something like this?

Trends: Sheer Dresses

Hi Beauts!

The Autumn/Winter trend includes one of my favourite styles of clothing in recent times. The sheer, see through or mesh dresses - whichever you want to call it - I adore it! But be careful this style can range from elegant to tacky in a heartbeat.

These are some looks I really like...

What are your thoughts?

Welcome 2015 lets make it a great year!

Hi Everyone!

A very belated Happy New Year to you all.... I hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and New Years? Mine was a very enjoyable period and I can not believe it's over for another year so quickly. I am so happy to be going into the new year with a new job and high aspirations for a successful year. Anyways, here's a bit of info of what I got up to.....

On Christmas Day I wanted to do something really different so I did some Rudolph inspired make up. My family really do think I'm a bit mental, but if you can't do things like this every now and then for a bit of fun then when can you?

I also had a New Years Eve 90's fancy dress party to attend and I really wanted to do something different to the usual cliche type ideas, so I decided to go as Scar from Disney's The Lion King. Again it was a really fun make up look to create......

I am so looking forward to future opportunities to create new fancy dress make up looks so keep an eye out for those posts.

OOTD: My working wardrobe!

Hi Ladies!

I wanted to share the great news that I have now got a new job which I am so happy about! I have left my ex employer after four years and couldn't be happier, my new career is still within Recruitment however I no longer have he words 'administrator' 'assistant' or 'receptionist' within my job title - I am now a Recruitment Coordinator and looking forward so much to taking a step in the right direction on the career ladder.

So in light of this I wanted to dedicate a post to what I wear to work as the office dress code is smart/business dress which is a great change to my former work place which was a sort of casual/anything goes.

Here is a round up of some of the outfits I've worn since being at my new place, I always work around a staple item each day...

Tartan Dress

I love this dress - I got a few compliments on it too - it's just the right length and teamed with a cardigan or suit jacket helps smarten it up a touch more

Dress - Primark

Cropped Trousers 

These nude trousers go well with so many different tops but this week with the bitterly cold weather I decided to wear this simple jumper (that goes with SO much by the way) and then the finishing item is a statement necklace

Trousers - River Island

Jumper - Primark

Shirt - George @ Asda 

Necklace - Primark

Red blazer

I love this blazer and I think the shades black and white go really well with it and make the red POP!

Blazer - ASOS

Top - River Island

Belt - Primark

Skirt - Primark

Lace Dress

This dress is so cute, I have never been the biggest fan of lace until this year and the nude underlay is lovely. I have some nude heels and flats that go really well with this

IMAGE COMING SOON

Dress - Primark

I am definitely looking forward to sharing more smart outfit combinations and I hope you will keep checking back for them. If not make sure you follow me on Instagram and let me know!

Avon UK Domestic Violence Campaign - #Wall of Silence

Hi Everyone!

This year the world of social media has really been helping everyone acknowledge a heap of charities for well worthy causes such as the Ice bucket challenge for ALS , the no make up selfie for breast cancer, selfie with your dog for the Manchester dogs home and many many more!

Although I have taken part in the majority of them when I heard about this great campaign that Avon has started I had to write a blog post to accompany my selfie and donation because it is something that I rarely discussed and it touched me. Avon UK are running the #wallofsilence selfie campaign in aid of  Domestic Violence and I am shocked that I did not know about this sooner.

This is my 'SHHH' selfie and for every selfie with the hashtag wallofsilence, Avon will donate £1....

Avon UK launched its Speak Out against Domestic Violence campaign in 2009 and has raised more than £1.5 million for charity partners Refuge and Women's Aid. Learn more about Avon UK's support for women's causes here.

I have experience domestic abuse myself - I have been head butted,  man handled and emotionally/mentally abused by an ex partner. Until this day he would never admit the violence he made against me, infact he told everyone that I had made up him head butting me the night it happened which upset me greatly. However when we broke up he did apologise for mistreating me as a boyfriend - whether this includes the violent/emotional abuse I do not know but at the time I didn't listen to family and friends. I went back to him and I shouldn't of. I never spoke out about it again - until we broke up. But everytime I see domestic violence on a show or a friend comes to me because of something they have experienced I can not help but be deeply touched by it all because I have been there too.

Not many people speak up about it - men or women - and we really should! So I wanted to let anyone know who is reading this now that you can speak up about your experiences; to your family, friends, to me if you have to, my email address is available so I am more then willing to give any advice I can.

If you are experiencing domestic violence, or think you know someone who might be,
please reach out and get support:
www.refuge.org.uk | www.1in4women.com | www.womensaid.org.uk

Please help spread the word and share your selfie!
