CELEB BOUTIQUE DRESS

Valentines day was very special for me, obviously spending the day with the people I love and also receiving something truly amazing- I am a very lucky girl. I put this dress on a wish list not long ago and obviously someone got a hint! 

This dress is from a site called Celeb Boutique which I'm sure most of you have heard of. I love all the dresses there and now I've had my 1st, i feel like I need another! This dress isn't on the site anymore but there are plenty similar and just as gorgeous on there so defiantly go have a look.

First of all, all I could notice was the colour! Its so bright (I love coral) and just so gorgeous, I actually squealed a little bit. The fabric itself is thick and sturdy - it almost feels like armour when you hold in your hands, but when i slipped into it and zipped it up it felt so well fitting and sculpting yet light as a feather on. It shows off all my curves in all the right places. 

I cant wait to wear this out with the girls or on a special night out. 

Did you get spoiled this Valentines day?

And a big thank you to Jenny who took my photographs.

LOVE ACTUALLY

The worst thing about Valentines day is being single - the 2nd worst thing about Valentines day is being in a relationship and feeling the need to buy something for your special someone on that day. Valentines day for me can become a stressful day instead of its original purpose - to show love to the people who mean a lot to you. This Valentines day, I'm not going to let the stress of the day get to me and just let the people who mean the most to me, that I love them and appreciate them.

To show all my lovely followers how much they mean to me, I organised a photo-shoot with my friend Jenny (who's blog link is here) to wish you all a lovely day. 

Me and jenny have decided that we will do photo-shoots for my blog every Friday which will give a more professional look to my blog and help improve our photography skills. Plus I think it make the clothes look nicer.

VALENTINES DAY NAILS

I've been searching for creative ideas on how to have my nails for Valentines day. I've been looking at heart designs a lot and found this amazing way of creating perfect hearts.

| What you'll need - 2 nail varnishes, plasters and scissors |

Thats it! I found it so easy to do and had great results. I was so happy how it turned out and will defiantly be trying this out with different colours, maybe 2 shades of pink.

Have you tried any new nail art looks recently?

VALENTINES DAY OUTFITS

February 14th is slowly coming closer. I know for me, Uni is at the front of my mind taking up all my energy and time. Now is probably the only time i'll get time to plan for Valentines day before I get fully submerged into my work mode. These 3 dresses I picked out to wear for a dinner, drinks or just a fun date. I love all 3 so I couldn't possible pick which one I like more.

Do you have any idea what you're going to wear on Valentines day? Are you being taken somewhere nice?

WHAT TO WEAR ON VALENTINES DAY

Valentines day.
most girls are stuck on what to wear on valentines day. you need the right balance of no effort and trying too hard. you need have an effortless style that still makes you look classy and beautiful.

here are a few outfits from my own wardrobe i have put together to show you effortless style which can be worn for these different occasions.

1. going out for a meal or watching a show
2. going to the cinema
3. going out for drinks

before i even start girls, you have to remember its only February, and its a very cold February this year - so always remember to have a coat - i would suggest a simple tailored trench coat.
feminine colour, strong colouring and flattering length. perfect for any of the occasions above. the belt around the middle could be changed for a belt that matches your shoes or outfit underneath - Also, something around your waist is very flattering no matter what size you are! it creates an hourglass figure which the guys love!

NUMBER 1 - GOING OUT FOR A MEAL OR WATCHING A SHOW

right, for this you need something that will make him go wow, you need to make an effort but not too in his face. if you have a glitzy dress on, don't have a necklace and wear simple shoes. if you have a plain dress, wear amazing shoes. don't have too much or it will look like you're trying to hard. - remember less is more.
i have chosen this dress to show you. simple, flattering and sparkly! (my favourite part) i would wear nude heels on (a fashion must have at the moment) and thats it. the sparkles on the dress compete it.

i bought this dress from BANK FASHION, from their RIBBON RANGE at £45.
im not sure if this exact one is available anymore but there are plant of these style dresses out there.

NUMBER 2 - GOING TO THE CINEMA

for this one, you need to be casual yet something to distract him from the film. for this one i have picked burgundy ponte treggins from newlook - £19.99, they are so comfy and a good mix of leggins and trousers. i have put them with a gorgeous kimono from H&M, i bought it in the sale for £5! - bargain. 

Kimonos are a fantastic way of hiding those bumps you don't want on show! i love the feel of satin and i adore the way it falls. so chic! i would finish this outfit off with simple flats and normal handbag.
you can find Kimonos from most high street stores, some more expensive than others, but you're paying for quality of the material.
underneath i would just wear a simple black or white top, nothing to fancy. maybe a necklace or bracelet that he buys you would finish the look off nicely!!!

NUMBER 3 - GOING OUT FOR DRINKS

for this theme, Heels is a must, if its a club or bar, you don't want to be the sorest girl there, get him to notice you! my advise, get your pins out! sitting on a bar stool looks the best when you have a bit of leg on show. (just remember to fake tan before) for this look id go for a short yet floaty dress. nothing too tight because you don't want to give the wrong impression.
this dress is short and floaty looks feminine, sexy and casual - its a confident yet safe look. it makes you look slimmer than you actually are! genius!
the cross over give the impression on a bigger bust and compliment the sleeves which slims your shoulders. the belt cinches in your waist and the skirt doesn't cling on any unwanted lumps and bumps. this dress was from USC lulu for £30
i would defiantly match this dress up with a black clutch. i would also put this outfit with my shoes that i put in my previous blog.

PRE DATE - always remember to shave, wax, fake tan, moisturise, the works! never try new products on your skin on the day -  you don't want a rash all over your face on a date!
if your having a spray tan - get it a few days before, you don't want that smell following you around!
another tip - wear the perfume he always comments on. its a familiar smell for him and will make him feel at ease with you on the date.
go for simple natural makeup -  let him see your gorgeous natural face - if he doesn't like that, he's not worth it!
casual hair is a must - long curls or a scurfy ballet bun, I'm so glad this look is in fashion. it takes seconds to do and is bang on trend.

i hope this helps you all, let me know how the dates go!!! i'll put a picture up of my date look on the 14th! 


STAY BEAUTIFUL
