OOTD. Monday's a Breeze When the Sun Shines

Hello lovelies, 
Last Monday the majority of the UK saw a lovely summers day. I decided to put on my summer specials and head out for a day of sunshine, ice cream and lovely food!
When the sun shines I always revert back to my classic yellow silk skirt that has a ribbon waist band from Topshop, it feels so girly and floaty, I love it. I usually pair it with a cream silk racer back vest that has a zip down the back which is also from Topshop. On this occasion it was rather warm and a plain white Jersey drop arm vest suited better. My gold necklace is vintage and is from the 1920's, I wear it with everything and anything. The shoes are my trusty 'Gena' wedges from Dune.




I hope you've had a nice summers day.
Love,
Belle.x

Polyvore Favourites.


Hello Beauties,
 I am very aware that it is 27degrees and boiling outside here in Wales although when creating what was meant to be my 'summer wishlist for payday on Polyvore, I could not help but lust over these secret wedge hightops from River Ssland. I then found a beautiful maxi waterfall hem skirt and found a great kitsch moustache printed drop arm vest top to go with them.
I then thought to heck with it, my 'summer wishlist for payday' has gone down the pan. 
And so I just carried on with what I am inappropriately loving at the moment, so I threw some red lippy and nails in to the mix.
I have accidentally created myself a classic, autumnal yet designer outfit not at all fit for this weeks weather. Typical when the sun comes shinning!

I am absolutely loving leather jackets and the leather YSL Clutch range at the moment! 
I obviously can not wait to embrace the winter months!
My 'summer wishlist for payday' is not far behind, I just have to put the red and black aside for a moment ......

Not such a summer's day




Love,
Belle.x

Collection, Way to Glow.

Hello Beauties,
I have been on the look out for a new bronzer for a while. After my Dior skin colour and glow bronzer came to its last legs and with the price far to high to justify I have resulted to searching for a drugstore alternative. After purchasing many bronzers from various brands I think I have found a suitable alternative for my beloved Dior colour and glow, at a mere fraction of the price. 
The Bronzer comes in a quad style pallet, the four colours range from warm to cool. The top left is an off white shade with lilac undertones, i use this to cancel out over bronzed errors and highlight my cheek and brow bone. The top right is an olive based brown shade with green and golden flecks. I use this as the main shade on the apple of the cheeks, this shade can also be used to create a neutral smokey eye along with the off white shade as a base. The bottom left is a warm terracotta with golden flecks, I use this to contour (with a light hand). The bottom right shade is my most used shade which i use to highlight the apples of my cheeks and below the brow bone.

 Collection Way to Glow pallette can be purchased here for £4.19 or from your local Boots store. 
All four colours complement each other and work well with one another. I have repurchased the pallet and I am currently on the look out for the blush version!
Here is 'Way to Glow' by newly re-branded Collection, applied before a night out on the tiles with my lovely ladies and I can vouch that it lasted all night long and provided me with a lovely way to glow!
Have you tried Collection bronzer and blushers before?
Love,
Belle.x
