Look and Feel beautiful with Adore Me

Everything in Weymouth is pretty beautiful at the moment. The sun has been shining, the garden is coming into flower, my pain is getting less so I'm needing less medication, and our little house is all clean and tidy again after the departure of the beautiful but messy retriever that we have been doggy-sitting.

I find that as summer arrives, I take notice more than ever of how I present myself. The sun and heat just make you want to look and feel your best. So, at just the right time, I was inspired by the brand Adore Me, after discovering some of some of their beautiful collections.

My look is usually bright and bold and influenced by different cultures around the world so I took an immediate liking to their Spring Brights collection. The deep pinks, vibrant teals and sun drenched yellows are totally my style.

Aren't they just beautiful? Both the blue and the coral pink go perfectly with my usual looks.

At the other end of the scale you find their classic and very feminine items which are perfect for a more romantic, special occasion. One of my favourites is from their bridal collection. It is the perfect combination of dainty and pretty but I like that they haven't stuck to the traditional pure white and instead added the touch of dusky pink that gives it character.

Classic, dewy skinned, natural makeup is the perfect partner for this pretty chemise because it doesn't take away from the delicate nature of the garment. I also think it is a great option when you are fair skinned like me.

I would definitely recommend taking a look at the Adore Me website. Their ranges are beautiful and their prices very reasonable.

Do you own any Adore Me pieces? Where do you shop hen you're looking for beautiful and affordable lingerie?

Fashion Vouchers Christmas Party Outfit Blogger Challenge

I love a little creative competition every now and then so when Fashion Vouchers emailed me to tell me about their christmas party outfit competition I just had to enter.
What you have to do is select a retailer from their shop list and build an outfit from that one merchant for £100 or less. Fashion Vouchers work with loads of shops so it was actually pretty hard to choose just one but in the end I picked Missguided because it is my go to shop for bang on trend, affordable clothes and shoes.

I went for a fairly simple outfit that combines several big winter trends using studded clothing, deep red garments and statement jewellery.

Dress: I went for this pretty red bandeau dress with a black studded belt because I think it is more festive than the typical LBD and adds instant warmth. £24.99

Tights: Badlt edited onto the dress in the collage I know! I went for opaque 120 denier tights to contrast against the red dress and to bring the dress into winter. £5.99

Shoes: Taking inspiration from the belt I chose a pair of bold, stud detailed shoes which add an edge to the look whilst not looking out of place. I chose suede effect as I think the matte black works better with the tone of the outfit and the red sole detail also ties in with the dress. £32.99

Clutch: As with the shoes, I wanted the clutch to tie in well with the rest of the outfit so went for a black, studded design. The gold chain strap makes it easy to carry and the envelope style gives plenty of room for essentials whilst looking smart and on trend. £19.99

Necklace: Finally, one statement piece of jewellery completes the look and stops the bare shoulder and neck area looking too exposed. I felt that a baroque, lace design worked well with the slightly gothic red and black yet still looked pretty and feminine. £9.99

The total cost of my Missguided christmas party look comes in at £93.95 in total.

What do you think? What sort of look will you be rocking this christmas? Are you a fan of Missguided?
