Top summer sale style picks


Weather aside, it is actually summer.

I'm hoping any day now we will get the glorious sunshine and tropical heat we've been waiting for... 

But until then why not treat yourself to some top summer sales picks so at least when summer does arrive, your wardrobe will be ready ;-)

My birthday



Another year older, another year wiser... so they say!

Last Saturday (June 4) was my birthday and I spent the weekend celebrating with friends and family, and having a fabulous time.

My mum, sister and best friend travelled to Nottingham for the day, and then us girls headed out in the evening to party hard before catching a train back the following morning feeling slightly worse for wear.

I spent a few days chilling back in Northampton, enjoying the sunny weather, eating lots of yummy food and catching up with my dad which was lovely.

Now it's back to reality and the depressing realisation that I'm a whole year older (boo hoo!) but I'm aiming to make the most of the next 12 months and instead celebrate the fact I've lived for another year!

Beautiful cards, gifts and birthday cookie!

Spring wardrobe detox

 


It’s that time of year when the days get lighter, the temperature warmer and floral/nude shades make an appearance on the high-street once again.

Now is the perfect time to declutter, spring clean and start the new season fresh – and where better place to start than with your wardrobe?

Here’s some tips on what to do with those winter woolly jumpers and thick tights, and a few fresh spring styles to replace them with.

1. Declutter


-First up you need to make space. Set aside a few hours to go through your wardrobe and remove any clothes which won't be required in warmer weather, e.g: thick jumpers, big coats, thermals, etc, etc...

2. Storage vs donate


-Now the tricky part: to keep or not to keep? Is the item an investment piece/timeless classic/still wearable next winter? If the answer is no then get rid! The aim is to declutter so anything that no longer serves you should be donated to charity or gifted to a lucky friend.

                            

3. Replace


-Let the fun begin! Hopefully you've cleared plenty of space in your closet so now you can rediscover last season's stored favourites and of course... hit the high-street for a few new things to reward your hard work.

The Met Gala is easily one of the most glamorous, exclusive and show-stopping events of the year, and is the perfect opportunity for the A-listers to get dressed up and show off their jaw-dropping beauty and amazing array of designer dresses.

At $25,000 a ticket those who are lucky (and rich!) enough to attend show the rest of us how glamour is really done, and leave us feeling extremely jealous when we pour over the beautiful pictures the following day!

Here are my favourite looks from the night...



Kerry Washington



Joan Smalls



Jennifer Lopez



Behati Prinsloo



Beyonce



Candice Swanepoel



Gigi Hadid



Karolina Kurkova



Kate Beckinsale



Kendall Jenner



Kim Kardashian



Miranda Kerr

Reece Witherspoon



Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley

Which look was your favourite? Do you think any one looked particularly amazing?
