I love New look for underwear, you can always rely on the shop to have great fitting sets for great pieces. In particular I'm a huge fan of Kelly Brook's range and even own a few items from the collection myself. I expressed my love for this range in a previous post which you can read here. I've picked a few of my favourites from the site including some from Kelly's range. The first is my favourite and for both pieces it costs you £25 which is amazing for such a pretty set from a "celebrity" range. I love the lace detailing and the classic navy colour. The next set (which is also part of Kelly Brook's range) is this girly black and pink set which you can pick up for under £20. The sizing in the range goes all the way up to an F cup, which perfect for you girls who struggle to find nice bras in your size. The last is a really pretty floral set which you can pick up at the bargain price of £13 for both pieces! These are just a few that I spotted but there are so many more sets and individual pieces on the site and that can find from New Looks Lingerie range.

If you've been following my blog since its started you may have noticed that I love Kelly Brook. So when I heard New Look were releasing a make-up line with her I was very excited. The combination of two of my favourite things how could I not be?! That's without mentioning the extremely cute packaging, polka dots, bows and rose gold, it's every girls dream. For a celebrity line this make up is VERY reasonable I got both of these products for £5.38 (with student discount) which I think is a really great price, they would make lovely stocking fillers or secret Santa gifts. The line includes; a mascara, a brow kit, nail varnish, lip-gloss, a highlighter pen, eyeliner, bronzer, blush and two eyeshadow quads.

So I went into new Look and noticed they had some of the products by the tills so I picked up a nail varnish and lipgloss. I picked up in the nail varnish in the shade Ace which is such a lovely sparkly black, which will be perfect for christmas parties! I'm forever adding a glitter topcoat on top of my nail varnishes, so for this shade to have glitter already in it is perfect. The varnish itself is pretty good, I only needed about 2 costs and I got good coverage, I got lots of glitter on application too. The line has loads of other nail varnish colours including a really nice navy called "A source says".
I'm not usually a lip-gloss kind of girl but this shade was just too pretty not to buy, It'll go perfectly with one of my favourite lipsticks (which is Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in Asia), I really like pink nudes like this. The lip-gloss smells very nice which is a nice touch as quite often lip products can have a bit of a chemical scent to them, this lip-gloss smells a bit like marshmallows which just makes me want to eat it! The only thing about the lip-gloss that i'm not too keen on is the applicator, I find it a bit awkward to use, I'm not too sure whether that's because the length of the handle or shape of the brush.
Have any of you managed to get your hands on any of this line, I'd love to know what you think in the comments below.
To many women and girls buying new underwear can often be
seen as a dreaded task. You don't want to get hot and flustered whilst trying
to find the right bra for you, whilst being restricted in a tiny changing room
where any minute you feel the curtain may fly open and expose you to everyone.
I understand I did not like it either especially during my younger teenage
years when going bra shopping with your mum was the worst thing ever.
However it now seems to me that having nice underwear is
just as important as having the right outfit and with so many shops now having
affordable lingerie sections there really should not be all this hassle it
should be something to love! In the last month two of my major "girl
crushes" have announced their collaborations with high street shops, the
first being the painfully Gorgeous Rose Huntington-Whiteley who is
collaborating with M&S. The second being the beautiful Kelly Brook (who is
debuting her second range for New Look.) Both of these ladies I am proud to say
are English and are showing us that you can still feel amazing in underwear
without having to pay a crazy amount at the tills!
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's collection for M&S helps
update the brand slight "mumsy" reputation and has a mixture of
gorgeous soft pastel colours, silk, lace detailing, twenties shapes and
styling.
Rosie says in her promotional video for the brand 'We’ve struck a good balance between being young and modern while still
being classic and sexy but it’s feminine. I hope people enjoy it in that
way.’ With regards to help designing the collection she says to have been very hands on when picking out the materials and how she wanted the collection to look as a whole, as one of the flawless Victoria's secret girls I am sure she is no stranger to knowing what fits and works well. With an impressive 33 pieces in the collection there is bound to be something for everyone. By the look of it she's done an amazing job and this collection is sure to be a sell out, the collection will be available from selected stores from the 30th August and online from September.
Kelly Brook's second collection for New Look promises to be
just as successful as her first. With pieces which contain details such as cute
polka dots, lace and the 50's as her inspiration, it seems the collection is
bound to be a success. With an amazing figure like hers Brook probably has her
fair share of not being able to find bra's that fit and support her properly so
this collection is available from a wide range from size a 34B to 36F. The
collection has also been designed to help flatter all sizes and shapes so the
vintage style pieces help to do so. Kelly Brook says "I am so excited
about my second lingerie collection. It’s gorgeous and feminine with a few sexy
pieces thrown into the mix. I hope everyone loves it as much as I do."
Selected pieces are already available to buy from the New Look website and will
hit the stores soon.
Are you excited for either of these collaborations? Let me know in the comments below.
I
brought this bikini from my current favourite high street shop New Look, for
just under £24 with student discount. I love it so much as I have
found with Kelly Brook's products with New Look they always fit me so well and
again this bikini is the perfect fit! I love Kelly Brook as she is a woman who
isn't stick thin and still has an amazing body and still manages to have boobs,
a bum and thighs, I just think she is a great role model for girls! So being a
girl that isn't a size 6 Victoria’s Secret model it's great to find these bikini’s
as I feel Kelly Brook would design something that she would want to wear. This
bikini is so flattering with the frills on the bottom part
to distract the eyes from any wobbly bits you may have and I love the
design of the bikini itself it's the perfect mix of the 50's and the current
trends, Navy also tends to suit lots of skin tones and looks great with a tan!
Here are a few more I like:
Whenever payday comes or my student loan delightfully pops its self in to the bank account the one thing I always end up buying is underwear! I am completely obsessed with it, it can just make you feel so much better if you are having a rubbish day and you know that you have your favourite bra and knickers on, (well this is the case for myself anyway!) There are so many good high street shops such as Topshop and New Look that offer really nice underwear sets or separates for a pretty reasonable price & both offer student discount. Here's a few of my bras favourite from the high street this week.
1. New Look £14.99, 2.Topshop £18.00 & 3. Kelly Brook for New look £14.99
Some more of my favourites but this time from a few more expensive brands, they were so pretty I could not help but put them in this post, my favourite from this lot has to be the Elle Macpherson Obsidian it's so pretty, I love the lace detail and the grey and dusty pink work so well together!
1.Elle Macpherson Intimates - Obsidian £65.00, 2.Ultimo - La Femme £34.00,
3. Agent Provocateur - Lorna £85.00 & 4. D&G - £72.00
(1,2 & 4 are all available from ASOS.com)
I hope this post has inspired you to go out and treat yourselves to a new bra or underwear set, I know come payday I certainly will.
