Outfit Post – How to wear a maxi dress

August 18, 2018 By in Fashion, Outfit Post Tags: , , , , , , , , , 20 Comments

I usually shy away from maxi dresses because I struggle to find the right fit. As a petite woman, finding the right maxi dress to suit my body shape can be a struggle sometimes. When the opportunity came for me to pick a River Island dress to style, I decided to go outside my style comfort zone, and go for a maxi dress. I am a huge fan of River Island pieces, especially their jeans. They are all I wear. So I was sure I would find the right maxi dress to suit my shape. And I did. I found this stunning Beige Flute Sleeve Sequin Maxi Dress and it was the right fit!

Maxi dresses are not only great for eveningwear, but their versatile nature makes them a great go-to for daytime flair too. One dress holds the power to switch from date night, to the school run, to shopping or dinner. As an added bonus, it is almost impossible not to look exquisitely feminine in a maxi dress! Because this popular wardrobe item is so flexible, people are often confused about how to wear it. Where to start with accessorising? How to pair it with other clothing items? How to make it work in cold weather? If any of these questions have ever crossed your mind, I’m here to help you rock that maxi-dress, no matter the time of day or year!

This stunning dress is simply beautiful. I love the fact that it is not body hugging. It is such a comfy piece to wear. The sequin embellishment is a beauty to behold. And so is the lace-up v neck and side split. The style of this maxi dress is great for my body shape and with heels, it is the perfect length too!  Styling this lovely dress was dead easy. The dress has the “wow” factor already, so it was best to let it do all the talking. Nothing else should compete with this sort of dress, so all accessories and jewellery wear kept at a minimum. I am so in love with this sequin dress. It is definitely a great party dress. I can see myself wearing this beauty to an event/party.

When it comes to styling maxi dresses, I think it works best when there is a waist-defining design to it. This is why this River Island maxi dress works great because the tie waist keeps the waist defined.

What do you think of this outfit? Are you a fan of maxi dresses?

The Kiddies go to the Ice Cream Farm Cheshire

August 17, 2018 By in Kids Section Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , 36 Comments

We have heard a lot about the  Ice Cream Farm Cheshire for many years now. But we have never had the opportunity to visit the park for ourselves. Well the opportunity and we had the time to spend over 4 hours there. It was a lovely experience. The kiddies had a great time. It was a lovely day out for the whole family. It was so good that I am already planning our next trip!

The school holidays are in full swing so the park is very busy as expected. But we didn’t have to queue up for too long for any of the rides or games. We got a yellow pass as soon as we got in. The pass allowed us get make use of the park at a discounted rate, which was great. The only issue I had with the yellow pass was that we couldn’t use it on many of the rides/games. We have to pay cash, which I found annoying. But asides that, I would recommend one of the passes if you plan to be at the park for hours.

 

Daisy’s Garden

Our first stop at the  Ice Cream Farm Cheshire was Daisy’s Garden. This is right in front of the entrance so it makes sense to start exploring from here. Plus it was free for the kids to play. They had a great time exploring the magical garden. There was a lot to climb, jump on and crawl into. It was so amazing.

Fudge Farm

Once we were done with Daisy’s Garden, we went off to the Fudge Farm to catch the train. The train took us round the farm and the kids enjoyed spotting the farm animals. It was £1 per person to get on the train, and the passes couldn’t be used here. But it was worth the ride. The ride was about 10 minutes.

Silvercone

Once we were done with exploring the Fudge Farm we went off to ride the race kids quad bikes at Silvercone. This was easily my favourite part of the park. I enjoyed riding the quad bikes with the kids. It felt like we were riding proper bikes on the road. It was so cool. The ride was about 5 minutes and it was £1 each. The passes can’t be use here as well.

 

Marshmallow Mould

The next stop was the Marshmallow Mould, which is pretty much like a trampoline in the shape of a mould. The kids loved bouncing on it. The yellow pass could be used here so that came in handy. The kids were bouncing on this for around 10 minutes. They were proper exhausted once their session here ended.

Strawberry Falls

The Strawberry Falls adventure golf course was great fun. The kids enjoyed playing golf (or more like chasing the balls into the holes). The best part about the Strawberry Falls for me was the beauty. The giant strawberries and strawberry water foundation are just too beautiful. It is one of the most beautiful parts of the park. It was good fun and we got the chance to use the yellow pass, which was a great way to save.

We spent quite a bit of time playing golf at the Strawberry Falls because there was a bit of queue. I guess all the other kids were loving the golf course a lot.

Horse Riding

The next activity was  horse riding. They really enjoyed this one. I was a bit worried about this because it was their first time riding a horse, but they were fine. They loved every bit of the ride.

We ended the day by exploring the Fun Factory Soft Play. The indoor adventure play barn was filled up with all sorts to keep the kiddies very busy. After an hour of soft play, we headed to the Ice Cream shop to get some award winning ice cream to take home. If you haven’t heard, Cheshire Ice Cream Farm has some of the best ice cream you would ever taste.

We had a lovely time at Ice Cream Farm Cheshire. And we are looking forward to visiting it again. It was s o much fun. The kiddies had an amazing time and so did we. I recommend it to anyone in search of what to do with the kids this summer or any other time  This is a gem right inside Cheshire, and it is worth checking out.

A Gift-Giving Guide for your Fashionista Friend

August 16, 2018 By in Beauty, Fashion, Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , 11 Comments

Looking for the perfect present to put a smile on the face of your fashionista friend? Keep on reading and we’ll list down some of the no-fail gift ideas that you might want to consider. These gifts are sure to elevate her sense of style and allow her to make a fashion statement.

 

Wristlet

For the times that she does not need to bring a bag, but she needs a place to keep her cash, cards, or phone, a wristlet is sure to come handy, which makes it a good gift idea. Not just any wristlet would do. Stay away from the generic designs and give her one that is personalized. You can have it printed with her name, photo, or an inspirational quote. Check out personalized gifts from Shutterfly, including their wristlets, if you are looking for a unique gift idea.

 

 

Photoshoot

Give her the gift of experience! Make her feel like a celebrity model even for just a couple of hours. Hire a photographer and find locations where you can have unique shots. Make sure to take care of the wardrobe and the props as well. This will be an opportunity for her to show off her style and have it documented in photos. Have the photos printed! You can also print it on canvas. In the case of the latter, be sure to check out Shutterfly’s canvas prints to have an idea of a unique way to give her the photos from the shoot.

Phone Case

If she is truly a fashionista, she will be focused not only on the big stuff but even on the small details. These details include her phone case, which should match her outfit. Look for fashionable phone cases that will complete her look. Choose colors that she will love. Bright colors will be perfect if she has a funky sense of fashion. Darker hues, on the other hand, will be more ideal if she is pulling off a sophisticated style.

 

Nail Polish

Speaking of the small details, more than what to wear, she also most probably frequently thinks about the color of her nails. With this, another gift worth considering would be a nail polish. Give her a set of assorted colors. As they say, nail polish is the new girl’s best friend! Luckily, they are cheaper than diamonds, making them easy to give for the fashion fanatic!

Headdress

If you have a fashionista friend who loves attending festivals or who just likes to be funky at times, a headdress will also make a good gift. This is the less boring version of a cap! It is an ornamental cover to the head, which can be made of various materials, often of bright colors. This will be great for petite girls as the design of the headdress allows it to give an illusion of height to the wearer.

 

Your fashionista friend will surely be happy with the gift ideas that have been mentioned above, which will make her trendy and chic!
