OOTD | Summers day

Ill apologize about the bad quality of these pictures ahahaa, I know they're not the best but they are better than none. England is sooo warm at the minuet so thought I''d slap a little bit of tan on my lilly white legs and pick a summery dress out my wardrobe, I'm not really doing much, going to have a walk to work (YES WORK I GOT A JOB) and maybe take Alfie for a walk but not going much further.
It was a bit of a struggle to get a picture of the back of my dress, but I managed with the help of a mirror.

Dress- Newlook (sale) £8.00

Shoes- Newlook £25.00

Bracelet- Newlook (sale) £2.00

I can't actually find anything that I have on in this OOTD online but I have seen the bracelet and dress in store  this week so if you like check it out in your local Newlook. 

Milkmaid Braids | BeautySW

 

Iv seen Milkmaid braids around for quite a while now, probably about a year and I'v seen them a lot on celebrities, Bloggers, and youtube gurus but not so much around and about. I live in Hull, the east of England and im not sure if its just my area and you would see them more in places like London and the bigger cites in England where fashion is bigger and thought of more. 
This hairstyle is really pretty and cute, I think It's a new take on normal braids because sometimes braids can look a little bit childish and as though your Mum has done it for you when you were five... Its also a good way to get your hair off of your face, when your just having one of those days and don't want hair on your face (I have plenty of those). I have worn this for college and some people thought it looked nice but others though it looked weird. 
There is also a lot of different ways to go milkmaid braids, some are done in fishtail plates, some in normal plates, some done neatly and others messily, but I think all of the different styles look great. I have added a picture of a halo braid in there because It's also another great hairstyle, slightly more difficult to achieve to make it look good. But when its done well and in the right way it looks great. 
All i did to achieve my Milkmaid Braids is: Plait my hair into two Fishtail plaits, and pin them both across each other on the top of my head securing them with bobby pins, if you're not sure how to do a fishtail plait, a normal three strand plait will work just the same or look up on Youtube "how to - Fishtail Plait" I have seen some great tutorials. 
Pictures taken from various places.

Manicure monday | BeautySW

 This morning i was feeling a bit crazy and girly, so decided to paint my nails all pastels, I have seen different people painting their nails oddly so thought I'd join in with the oddness' and the pastel craze going on. The colours I used are (from thumb and all Barry M polishes)- Peach Melba, Mint Green, Berry Ice cream, Pink Flamingo, Blue Moon. I have been loving the pastels out the past few months too and though I'd cheer up my boring outfit with my jazzy nails. 
ps, pleas excuse my focus of my camera... 

No.7 Lipgloss in Whisper | BeautySW

99.999% of the time i absolutely hate lipgloss, I think it looks tacks and false, like who has shinny lips, really?  I don't like how it feels or anything and never wear it. Until my older sister bought this one for herself (oopsie) a few weeks ago. It just has a really nice look to it and i think it's the only lipgloss i have ever worn and felt comfortable in it. It didn't bother me when eating or drinking and thought it lasted on the lips for a good amount of time, I did need to touch it up but it wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be. 

I actually can say I enjoyed wearing this one and when i go into stores now I will be able to look at lipgloss a bit more because feel I can wear it more now. I think it I look at a more sheer gloss I will feel better, I know this isn't sheer but its difficulty not bright and in your face, its very much sutler and toned down. 

Please could you give me some ideas on what posts you would like to see on here, I do have a few lined up.
