Outfit of the Day: Happy Easter and Life on the Farm

Hi All!

So HAPPY EASTER to one and all first off, I hope you have all enjoyed the bank holiday weekend with family and friends! The weather has been lush and I have taken full advantage by visiting my mom at the farm again. Take note: You will see a lot more postings and photos of my trips up here. I am really getting into horse riding too, so watch out for photos of that!

Me and Richard came up yesterday and enjoyed some sunbathing and relaxing, it was lovely to spend some time together away from the city. He is now back in Wolves now as he had to work today and I am staying until tomorrow.

We hosted a BBQ today also with my family coming to visit which was enjoyable, I sneaked off and took some photo's with Poppy the working dog....

Dress, Cardigan, Ballet Flats: Primark
Belt: Handmade

I do love Poppy she is the most well behaved dog ever, although I am aware she has to be as she helps out with the cows on the farm. I do feel sorry for her being chained up outside :( Thats just the softy inside of me.

Oufit of the Night: I finally wore my feathers

Hi All!!

Another night out means another outfit for you all. This is from last night and I got a tad bit drunk again.. luckily i'm actually NOT hanging today *big grin*

I do however think the absence of a hangover today might have something to do with the Macdonalds I had before bed, the Macdonalds I had for breakfast and soaking up the sun with ice cold lollies? I love the warm weather.

Anyways take a peak at my outfit....

Taxidermy rooster feather cape- Handmade
Dress: New Look


Heels: Barratts

If you remember I posted about these handmade feathers here and I am so glad I got to wear them yesterday! I did get mixed reactions the odd immature 'is that roadkill' joke which I was expecting but I just feel like some people in Wolverhampton haven't got a clue about style, individuality or originality.

Anyone else get that feeling sometimes? About friends, family, hometowns?

All you have to do to enter is either comment on the post stating you would like to enter or do what I am doing and make a post about 'What is in your bag?' So here are the usual suspects that I carry with me on a daily basis....

- Keys - Blackberry - Gucci Sunglasses - Lipsticks/Lipglosses - Compact Mirror -Umbrella - Hello Kitty Purse - Calvin Klein Change Purse - Company Magazine - Tissues - Bus/Train Pass -

Baby Your Baby's Skin With These Green Goodies!

I've been using Burt's Bees Baby Bee Bubble Bath on my son, Westley, since he came home from the hospital 8 months ago. The brand makes a Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash, but it dried out his skin and hair. I prefer the Bubble Bath to bathe Westley because it's tear-free, gentler on his sensitive skin, leaves his hair silky and manageable, and smells so good that I can't stop sniffing him after bath time. Plus, it gets him as clean as a shampoo and baby wash would - and he loves playing with the bubbles!

The sulfate-, phthalate-, petrochemical- and paraben-free is great for babying mommy's skin too. On many occasions, I'll lather up with this product because it smells THAT good. I never let Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Bubble Bath run out in my house. There's always a bottle on standby.

Bath time for Westley!

My son has very dry, sensitive skin so finding a lotion that deeply moisturizes without breaking him out was very important to me. I tried quite a few brands and nothing came close to Lavanila The Healthy Baby Butter. It's a 100% natural body cream that contains Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter and 30 essential vitamins and minerals. The non-greasy formula nourishes, soothes and protect against dryness. I apply The Healthy Baby Butter to Westley's skin twice a day – and when I'm through, it's like I just gave myself an ultra-hydrating hand treatment. Plus the fragrance is really amazing – soft yet intoxicating – like a baby should smell. I love this product so much that I buy 2-3 tubes at a time.

Review: No7 & Poppy King Lipstick

Hi All!!

Product:
No7 & Poppy King 'Allure' Lipstick

It's Purpose:
"The Magic of Lipstick" A new range of lipsticks to suit all in seven luscious shades brought to regular No7 customers. With regards to the shade Allure- "Lip colour is so alluring, it draws people to you and doesn?t have to shout to do this, just whisper. For this look I designed a soft peachy shade, which is similar to a natural lip colour - perfect for women of all ages."

My Opinion:
I was gifted this lipstick to try out and review for you guys. The new range available to purchase in Boots has seven shades; I was given Allure to try out. It came gift wrapped which I thought was a lovely touch although I am aware this is not how it would be purchased in stores. The packaging is what I expected it to be when I first saw the promotional videos of Poppy King introducing it; as I have never seen any lippies with a similar packaging I think it stands out.

It is a lovely peachy shade and feels lovely when applied to my lips. I have to say it is quote sheer but used with a lip liner in a similar shade will make the shade 'pop' a little more. For me to use it it appears quite natual against my skin....

With flash

Without flash

As you may know this is not a shade I would usually buy as I prefer shades such as pinks and reds that I wear on a daily basis. I do however own a few natural shades of lippy and wear them occasionally- not too often, but often enough. I will be wearing this often though I think, what do you think....

I think I will make this a regular look now on those days where I just want to look natural!! A definate thumbs up :)


If you are interested in some more information on the range by No7 and Poppy King then take a peek at this video...
