I have been shopping the sales online, and it has been great. There are quite a few bargains up for grabs now so get in there now if you are looking to add some pieces to your collection. Some stores that currently have the spring sale going on are Debenhams, Illamasaqua, and Matalan. These stores have also added the new spring/summer collection to the stores and online, so it is worth popping in or browsing online, to see what is on trend at the moment, or you could just wait for me to wear it on here, lol.

However, I should add that knowing what styles and designs are in vogue does not mean you should go all out and shop all new collections. You can add few pieces and accessories to your existing wardrobe, to update it and give you new pieces to be excited about, and you should be able to style those few new buys with your current spring/summer pieces. The secret of having a stylish wardrobe is to avoid impulse buying. Always shop with your current wardrobe in mind, just so you buy pieces and accessories that would complement what you do have already. Shopping until you drop every season is not healthy or wise, that is why I always go for quality over quantity. I need my clothes and accessories to last longer than a season, that is why I am very selective of where I shop, you won’t catch shopping in many stores, names withheld to protect the innocent.

So over to what I have on, I am wearing a Navy Blue Ditsy Tea Dress. This dress is one of the new pieces I got in the spring sale some days ago and I love it. This dress is the TRUTH. I adore the colour, the floral print, the length, the way it feels, everything about this dress I love. I will be wearing this stylish dress a lot. It is so easy to dress up and down, a great choice.

Duchess of Cambridge Covers British Vogue June 2016

We have royalty on a magazine cover this month. The elegant Duchess of Cambridge, is on the cover of British Vogue for June 2016, and she is looking beautiful as always.

This is a very different cover from Vogue. I must confess I was expecting to see another supermodel, so seeing the Duchess on the cover was a pleasant surprise. This is the first magazine shoot, she has ever consented to and I am not surprised she agreed to do Vogue. The Princess of Wales, Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother, and the Queen have all been photographed by the Vogue team over the past 100 years. Also, Princess Diana appeared on the cover of British Vogue in 1994, so it kind of answers why she decided to appear on Vogue. Following in their footsteps I guess.

 

“It’s a huge honour and incredibly exciting for us to have HRH The Duchess of Cambridge featuring on the cover of British Vogue and as part of our centenary issue,” Vogue editor-in-chief Alexandra Shulman said today. “For me personally it has been a wonderful experience to have had the opportunity to work with her on this, and I am immensely proud of what we have produced. This special issue of the magazine is very close to my heart as it had to reflect on 100 years of British Vogue, and so I am hugely grateful that we have been able to continue with our tradition of outstanding royal portraiture with these pictures.”

I love the fact that the Duchess of Cambridge is dressed casually in these photos photographed by Josh Olins. She looks like an everyday girl next door, which I find refreshing. I love her hair a lot. I think she can give Jennifer Aniston a run for her hair money any day. I haven’t bought a Vogue in a while so I can see myself buying this issue. What are your thoughts? Will you be buying?

Happy new month everyone. Welcome to the beautiful month of May. I hope this month is better than the last for all of us. To celebrate a new month, and all the beautiful things happening on Fashion and Style Police, I am giving away a small jar of Classic Orange Splash Yankee Candle.

This candle smells a lot like oranges, so if you love the sparkling aroma of oranges, you would love this Yankee Candle. I have recently fallen in love with candles in general, and so far, so good, I am sold on Yankee Candles. I have tried a few now, and I think they are the best in the market, and they are loved by many, so I thought they would make a lovely giveaway.

Yankee Candles come in a variety of sizes and fragrances, so you are usually spoilt for choice, but I find the Orange Splash Yankee Candle very delicious, for lack of a better word.

I find candles very relaxing. My idea of good ‘me time’ is; a nice warm bubble bath, with a good book, a nice glass of Prosecco, warm indoor lightening, and a sweet-smelling candle. Candles play a major role in my relaxation time, they help me unwind and leave my home smelling amazing. Are you a candle lover? Then this giveaway is for you.

The rules of this giveaway are very simple as always:

  1. Follow me on Twitter.
  2. Retweet this post.
  3. Leave a comment telling me how you like to relax and remember to leave your Twitter name, very important.

This giveaway is open to ALL. It ends on 16th May at 10pm. The winner will be chosen at random and announced on Twitter, the following day, so keep your eyes peeled.

Good luck everyone, and if you are in the UK, enjoy the bank holiday.
