Lacoste UK #StyleInChelsea Blogger Chat with Caggie Dunlop & Rosie Fortescue

Hello my lovelies! I know I've been away a little while - I'm a student ambassador and I've been looking after many, many energetic primary school kids all week. This week I've got high school kids and less hours, which means time to catch up with blogging.

Yesterday evening I was lucky enough to take part in a fashion and beauty chat organised by Lacoste UK with Caggie Dunlop and Rosie Fortescue from Made in Chelsea. I had SO much fun and I loved meeting the other bloggers (Claire, Corrie, Demi & Marleigh). Rosie and Caggie were lovely and it really felt like we were just a group of friends having a good natter together. If you'd like to see what fashion and beauty tips we all shared you can watch the video on YouTube!

Here's what I wore to take part in the chat!

Tweed Jacket: Jack Wills | Top: H&M | Disco Pants: Primark | Moustache Shoes: Primark | Nails: Models Own Bubblegum

Outfit: 50s in the City

Hello lovelies! Today I've got another outfit post for you, and more of what I got up to on my little trip home. I hadn't been shopping with my Mum since Easter and we both desperately missed our shopping sprees, so we spent the day shopping til we dropped in Manchester - my favourite place to shop.

Dress: Primark // Necklace c/o Bellast // Shoes: Primark // Nails c/o KKCenterHK // Cardi: Hollister // Earrings: The Gift Gallery (from Bob) // Watch: Pandora

I hope you like the outfit I've put together here - with the shoes and the dress I felt like I was all set to hop on my time machine back to the 50s and go dancing. It's really given me a bit of an inspiration burst to hunt around for more fifties inspired items to wear!

Going Pin-Sane for Nail Art with #PinItForwardUK

Hello lovies, hope you've had a wonderful weekend. I want to share with you today my love for (and possible addiction to) Pinterest since they've just launched their UK site! I only came across Pinterest this year and ever since making that first pin I've been hooked. If you've never heard of it before, it's a brilliant website that allows you to create online inspiration, mood or idea boards. You can have a board for literally anything you're interested in and can pin all your favourite images and inspirations in one place.

Pinterest is a totally amazing way to gather ideas, get inspiration for projects or simply just to look longingly through boards of beautiful clothes, homes or dream holiday destinations. I'm compiling a "Bucket  List" board with my boyfriend at the moment and I'm also keeping a board of fun kids crafts which I'm sure I'll be dipping in to when I'm a qualified teacher.

My favourite board of all though, has to be my Nail Art inspiration board. I use it to pin not only my own creations, but also tonnes of gorgeous manicures that I just can't wait to try one day. It's an amazing way to get ideas for creating something unique - and there are also some fab tutorials on there too! I just love scrolling through all of the pretty designs.

I absolutely love it and find it so useful for my nail art inspiration, you can follow my Nail Art board or if you don't have an account yet you can click here to register and start pinning!

Nails: KKCenterHK Floral Nail Foil Tutorial

Happy weekend lovelies! Hope you're all having a good one. I've got nail tutorial for you today using adorable floral nail foils* from KKCenterHK. So summery!

Pretty Lovely Flower Sea Hidden Nail Foil Transfer [NNAIL-E28]* 

Cut ten roughly nail-sized pieces of pretty foil. 

Paint on a rough base coat of your favourite nail colour - here I've used Models Own Peach Sherbet* 

Paint on a generous layer of the glue (which seems a lot like PVA glue) and wait for it to go completely clear. 

Pop the foils onto your nails then remove the air and secure all the edges using a cotton bud.

Carefully peel off the foil to reveal the pretty results! 

I think they look so gorgeous - it's definitely a little tricky and my first attempt is a bit messy but I definitely saw an improvement the more nails I managed to do. The key seems to be making sure that the glue is completely tacky and not wet in any places at all or the foil won't stick.

Have you ever tried nail foils before?

Outfit: Delph Sailing Club

Hello lovelies! So, why have I been completely missing from my blog for the last week? Well - on Friday I decided to pop home for a few days to see my family before my summer camp work started in St Andrews this month. Bob came along too and since it was such beautiful weather we spent almost every day, from as early as possible til the sunset, doing outdoorsy things and soaking up the sun.

After a long, hot day shopping in Manchester city centre (post coming soon!), the next stop was where I basically grew up as a child - Delph Sailing Club. Bob hasn't really ever sailed and was interested to see what it was like, so we went along to relax in the sun and watch my Dad racing.

Necklace: Gifted // Dip-Dye Jumper c/o She Likes // Cropped Jeans: Mango // Coral Flats: Primark

I'm totally loving my new dip-dyed jumper sent to me from She Likes. It was perfect to keep the slightly nippy wind at bay - and super soft and comfy too!
What have you been up to in the sunshine? Are you a fan of the dip-dye/ombre trend?
