OOTD: A Summer Dress for July

July 26, 2017 By in Fashion, Outfit Post Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 46 Comments

This is the first outfit post of July, and it is all about the summer dress. I have been meaning to feature a July fashion outfit post in weeks but I have not had the time. I took these photos weeks ago, before our summer holiday, and then forgot all about them. Good I still have some days left in July to post them.

One thing I love about the summer season, apart from the holiday bit, is the summer fashion. I love the fact that I can rock my sandals and show off my legs. I live in dresses in the summer months. They are super stylish and very comfortable. When dealing with the heat wave, the last thing I need on is a pair of jeans, or anything else that would make me even more hot and sweaty. Light, airy summer dresses, like the black floral summer dress I have on, works for me.

Almost everything I have is an Oldie but Goldie, and has been featured on the blog before. The new bits are my handbag and my Fitbit Charge 2 bracelet. If you have been reading Fashion and Style Police for a bit now, you would know all about my love for handbags. And if you didn’t know, you now know! I love handbags a lot; I am always looking to add more to my collection, and this beauty right here is the newest addition. Another confession, I am also a huge fan of Michael Kors handbags. My fan girl bag collection is growing, and I love every one of them.

This gorgeous bag is the Michael Kors Scarlett Large Tote. It is a soft pink shade, which I think is so pretty, but it also comes in black.

I love the design and look of this bag. The gold-tone exterior hardware and hanging charm is just so beautiful. I am in love!

The Fitbit Charge 2 bracelet is also new. I got this some weeks ago, after my old Fitbit Flex broke. I prefer the look of this Charge 2, and I am hoping this lasts a lot longer than the Fitbit Flex.

Summer Designer Dresses I Want

May 27, 2017 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 40 Comments

We are currently baking in the sunshine, thanks to the crazy heatwave! The weather has been painfully warm for a few days now, and it looks like the sunshine is going to hang around for a bit longer.

With the weather being so warm, it feels like summer is here already, which is fab for dress lovers like me. When the weather gets dead warm, all I want to have on is a dress. Wearing anything else usually does my head in. Wearing a dress keeps me comfy and stylish, so it is a win-win in the summer months.

I have been doing some online shopping for some dresses to add to my wardrobe this summer. I recently stumbled upon OD’s Designer Clothing website, and I am loving some of the fancy designer dresses they have in stock. If you know me well enough, you would know how much I like my designer labels, so this post should come as no surprise.

Here are a few of the summer dresses that caught my eye  –

 

Frieda Red W Ted Baker Dress

I love this striped Ted Baker dress. I think it is so stylish. It would be a great dress to wear to a wedding or any glam event. It would be easy to style as well. I would style this with a pair of black or navy blue shoes and clutch bag. I could also pop on a fascinator for a WOW effect.
W Love Moschino Dress

This is one lovely looking dress. Moschino slayed it with this beautiful piece. It is bang on trend and super stylish. It can be dressed up or down, which makes it an excellent choice for those with a capsule wardrobe. I love this dress.
Rebecca Rhoades ‘Ivy’ Mini Dress

What is summer without a little black dress to party in? I can never say no to a little black dress, so this piece naturally caught my eye. I adore this little black Ivy mini dress by Rebecca Rhoades. I love the style and cut of the dress. it would look amazing with a pair of heels and some simple jewellery. It can also be dressed up or down, which makes it even better.

Vivienne Westwood Anglomania ‘Ash’ Dress

It would be a dream to have this Vivienne Westwood piece in my wardrobe. It is a great piece to have this summer. I like the design of the dress, espeecially the ruffled scoop neckline.
 Ted Baker ‘Eleese’ Skater Dress

So I saved the best for last with this stunning piece here! This orange Ted Baker ‘Eleese’ Skater Dress is definitely my favourite summer dress here. I love skater dresses because they suit my bodyshape. I have quite a number of skater dresses already, but I want this too! I love the colour of the dress and the fitted waist.

How to Sleep in this Heatwave

May 26, 2017 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 22 Comments

The weather has been dead warm for the whole of this week, and I hear it is going to get even warmer in the next few days. Saturday is predicted to be the hottest spring day ever as temperature is predicted to hit 32.2C (89.96F), so be ready to roast!

I like it warm, but not too warm. I struggle with extreme temperatures, and this is now extreme. There is no air at all, it is so still and so hot! I feel like hibernating.

Getting decent sleep is almost impossible more. With all the many issues going on around the world and in our personal lives, we have enough on our plate to keep us up at night already. Just look at what happened in Manchester some days ago, with the suicide bombing that killed over 25 people, and injured more than 50.

Money issues is another thing that could keep us up all night. There is nothing else than can chase sleep faster than red bills that won’t stop coming. Thankfully, there are now options to help sort out our finance worries, so we don’t have to lose sleep over them. Companies like Northcash Loans can help when the going gets tough. But this heatwave has just added to the list of things that could really affect our sleep. But the good news is that I have found a way to tackle it. Here are some tips that might you get some decent sleep while the heatwave is at its peak –

 

Leave your blinds/curtains shut

Leave your blinds/curtains shut during the day will help keep the bedroom cool. Most experts agree with the ideal bedroom temperature being between 15 and 19 degrees. Anything over 23 degrees or below 12 degrees is likely to disturb your sleep.

 

Put your Pyjamas in the Fridge

Put your pyjamas in a bag and place in the fridge an hour before bedtime. This will help you stay cool.

 

Take a Cool Shower

Taking a cool shower just before bedtime to keep you cool too.

 

Stay Thankful

Regardless of whatever issues you may have, be it family or finance issue, there is someone out there wishing they had a bed to sleep on, so stay thankful. Think of all you are thankful for before bedtime, no matter how small. You can jot them down if you can as well. Being thankful improves our mental wellbeing, which helps us sleep better and feel fantastic.

 

Pillow Mist

A pillow/bedding mist could also help you snooze easy. A Lavender pillow mist works fine for me. Clean bedding and pyjamas also help me feel very snuggly.

 

Reduce caffeine and fluids

I stay away from caffeinated drinks 5 hours to. bedtime, and stop taking fluids an hour to bedtime, just so I sleep well without any interruptions. The last thing you need is to fall asleep, and then wake up to use the toilet, and struggle to go back because of the heat.
