I cannot believe it's been over a month since I posted my last style/ootd blog post! I thought I'd take advantage of the Blossom and Magnolia trees whilst they are still here and shoot some cute outfit photos. Apart from the white shirt, everything in the blog post is old, and I'm talking a couple of years old... I know it's annoying as it means they're not available to buy (although I'll leave some alternatives at the end of the post), I think it's important to show you that I wear a lot of my clothes more than once. Blogging is great as it means you get to see what's new in at the shops, but in reality most of us don't have the budget or the space for that. I've worn this black dungaree dress from ASOS literally hundreds of times. It's one of my favourite things in my wardrobe, I absolutely love it. I picked up this strawberry bag from Topshop a few years ago and it's just the perfect thing to take with you whilst you're out over the weekend. It's so cute, and so much cheaper than the Kate Spade alternatives, although I would love to be able to buy myself one in the future. If you want to see how I've styled it before take a look at these blog posts from Summer 2015 and Summer 2016 (which is one of my favourite blog posts ever!) Anyway, here's to a happy April!

1. Essie - Fiji nail polish
Most beauty bloggers have had this as part of their monthly
favourite for the last couple of months so it's been a slightly tricky polish
to get hold of and you can see why. It's such a lovely nude shade perfect for
the summer; it'll look great with a tan (if England ever gets any sun) and will
go well with all your outfits and jewellery, as you won't have an issue with
clashing colours.
2. Benefit - Hoola bronzer
Just like the NARS Laguna bronzer this has been on my imaginary
beauty wish list for a while, after using at a friend’s house when I was 16 and I
have wanted it ever since! I love benefit's vintage packaging and just the name sounds appealing.
3. Marc Jacobs - Dot fragrance
This is the latest fragrance by Marc Jacobs and is already
causing quite a stir on blogs; it's said to have notes of dragon fruit, red
berries, honeysuckle and a hint of coconut. The scent is perfect for summer as
it's so fruity and apparently has a real beachy and exotic feel to it. I really
dislike the smell of coconut but I’m intrigued to smell this as the notes are
an interesting combination, not to mention it has such a gorgeous bottle!
4. the Balm - Nude
‘tude Eyeshadow Palette
the Balm is an American brand who similarly to Benefit have
amazing vintage/retro style packaging, which is what first caught my eye and intrigued
me to look further into the brand. This palette was the first product I had
heard about from the brand and I think if I was to buy anything from them it
would be this! Online the palette has been compared to the Urban Decay Naked palette
as it is based around nude/neutral shades. It's quite expensive but has been
rated quite highly on beauty sites, so I think it's definitely a good
investment piece!
5. Make up Forever - Full Cover Concealer
Again another American brand and product that seems to be
very popular with beauty bloggers, I’ve not heard many bad things about Make Up
Forever other than that the products are hard to get hold of for UK buyers and
that when choosing a shade for your skin they can darken once applied, so be
wary of that! The concealer is supposed to be a really amazing full coverage
and buildable concealer. I'm really into my concealers and I’m always looking
for new ones to try so I’m definitely going to have to try this one!
6. Tesco - Tired leg spray
Makeup artist Hayley Fell posted this on her Instragram and
as I currently work in retail I am not stranger to getting tired legs after
working 9 hour shifts. So I was intrigued to see what this was and if it
actually works and apparently it does and is only £3 from Tesco's!
P.s I've done a slight update on my blog, so you can now use

or recipe posts!
