Lounging in lockdown w/ Femme Luxe

(all items in this post have been gifted, however, opinions are my own)

Your girl's back with a new blog post, and a very topical one at that!

I hope you're all keeping well and staying safe.
The World is a very strange place right now, for me personally I've decided to keep my head buried a little, keeping myself up to date with the current situation but not to a point of creating a worried El heap in the corner of my house.

As my previous blog posts may suggest I have a fairly strong love for fashion, and with that comes a love of shopping.
With the current lockdown I have found myself scrolling through my favourite shopping websites a lot more and most specifically looking at loungewear, but I know I'm not the only one - the only way I can justify my shopping habit!

Anything comfy is always right up my street and today I've got some of my favourite pieces ever to show you from Femme Luxe, they're also outfits that won't break the bank, absolute win.

I really am the queen of loungewear, therefore, be assured, you can trust my opinions...





Firstly, we have the beautiful 'Blake' set.
This is a lovely pink off the shoulder loungewear set, and yes when purchasing, it is the whole set. If you're anything like me a matching outfit makes your heart warm whilst making you feel incredibly put together.

If you do love a good set Femme Luxe have plenty HERE in multiple colours and budget friendly prices.

This pink set really is the perfect combination of comfort whilst looking great.
However, if pink isn't your favourite colour like it is mine you can get this in 6 other colours so you really aren't short for choice.

For some real lockdown chic, pair this with some bouncy curls and your fluffiest slippers to make a real impression on your lockdown and isolation partner.

If like me your favourite colour is pink then Femme Luxe's filtering option to look at their pink loungewear sets only is perfect for you.




Not that I have mentioned it at all in this blog post that pink is my favourite colour (lies) but if you don't share my opinion and prefer a little more spice to your loungewear you have come to the right place...

Meet Shani, the loungewear set with a lovely little twist.


Once again this set comes in several colours, 4 to be exact, and really is something a bit more special than your usual loungewear.

If you're anything like me you still like to feel nice in your comfy's and want to impress even if it is just the postman as he delivers the newest additions to your wardrobe. My personal preference when it comes to joggers, is fitted and cuffed, I find these to be the most flattering and this is therefore another reason as to why I love these sets. Flattering loungewear can be few and far between but Femme Luxe have absolutely smashed it with these.

This camel set not only has the different design detail of the white stripe running down the legs and arms, but shares the off the shoulder jumper that Blake also has, once again making this set a little more interesting than most others.


Which of these 2 sets will you be buying?


As mentioned before Femme Luxe sell plenty of loungewear sets, but if you prefer to put your own outfits together don't worry there are even more options of individual joggers and jumpers to attempt to decide from.

Once again I do hope that during this very odd time you're all well and you and your families are staying safe.
I would definitely advise a little online shopping if you need a pick me up, popping on your favourite loungewear set and making yourself feel lovely. There really is a lot of power in looking after yourself and I believe that now more than ever we need to continue making an effort to make ourselves feel special, because we all are.

Have a lovely week and speak soon...

Summer Clothing High Street Wishlist

It's gets to this time of year, the sun occasionally makes an appearance I for some reason I suddenly decide that my wardrobe needs a complete overhaul!
In the Summer months my outfits definitely become a lot more relaxed, with flowing tops, effortless and beachy. I definitely think this is because I just wish that live by the sea and that is emphasised by the Sun and floaty cami tops that are in the shops!

So today I want to share some of my favourite high street pieces that are in the shops at the moment.
First up is this outfit that has been put together on the Topshop website. Now I didn't think at the age of 22 pink jeans would be something I'd ever be interested in again, BUT I am OBSESSED with this outfit. (Like an unhealthy amount, I do feel like I now need the top and jeans!)

I definitely have a recurring theme of cami tops in this post so lets get some more out of the way!
 Vero Moda Stripe Cami - £20                          Topshop Spot Cami - £19

Next up is a pair of good old white jeans, which lets be honest, in Summer, pretty much everyone and their mum is wearing! I think these white jeans would look gorgeous with this *shocker* (another) cami.
 
Leopard Print Peplum Top - £19                                  White Joni Jeans - £36

To finish off we have the perfect square neck swimsuit, beautiful Summer dress and an obligatory denim mini skirt!

What is your style like in the Summer? Does it change from you Spring or Winter style?

Nike Thea's

Now you're probably wondering why on Earth am I publishing a post specifically about my Nike Air Max Thea's but all will become clear.....

I had initially seen these beauties in a YouTube video and on Instagram (as most of us millennials do) and decided I needed them. I began thinking of outfits and decided they would look insane with a pair of faux leather trousers, or to be fair even with blue jeans.

The UK's weather has been a bit all over the place recently, we had some stunning sunbathing worthy weather in April but then those 4 days were followed by, of course, April showers! So I've been wearing these whenever I can because it's definitely not warm enough for sandals but I'm bored of Winter shoes. I'm currently living in these and my white converse at the moment because at least they are bright colours and are slightly more Summery.

However, my only issue with these is you CANNOT get them wet! Don't let it rain on them, because you will end up with raindrop patterns on the front sections of the trainer.


I'm not exactly sure why this happens or if I just have a faulty pair of Nike Thea's but on the front section of the shoe I now have some very faint, lighter marks where the raindrops have landed. I have been very careful with them since so there is no new damage and the old damage isn't particularly noticeable.

Nike Thea's are generally around £94.99, which even though these beauties are incredibly weightless AND beautiful I have to admit I'm not sure I'd spend that much on them purely because of the water issue but these particular pair were £55 which is A LOT more justifiable for a brilliant pair of shoes!
What are your favourite pair of shoes to wear for when the weather can't make up it's mind?

What's In My Bag // Mulberry Lily

I think it's fair to say that I've never really been the girl to constantly take a handbag everywhere I go, I just find they get in the way and can be restricted.
HOWEVER, I am the girl to constantly look at pretty handbags and to lust after them.

I posted about my beautiful Mulberry Lily handbag 2 years ago, but if there is a handbag I will wear without moaning it has to be this beauty.
I've always loved Mulberry, they're so classic and elegant, but if you want to read more about why I bought it then you can do so HERE or if you fancy getting some tips on what to consider when buying designer read THIS POST.
This bag has actually gone up by £100 in the past 2 years up to £795, and I was lucky enough to purchase it for £485 at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet.
Maybe now I should actually get on with the post and chat about what I keep in my handbag!
I did realise after taking all the photos that I had actually left my phone out of the shots but that is probably fairly accurate because it probably spends 60% of it's time in my hand.

This bag can fit in a surprisingly good amount of bits and pieces so I can keep all essentials and extras in it at all time.
The first thing has to of course be my purse. As I said earlier I've nearly really been one to carry around a bag and that also applies to carrying around a massive purse and therefore this Louis Vuitton Key Purse is PERFECT. I can fit all my cards, coins and notes inside without ruining the shape.

Next I carry around my Olympus E-PL7 because it's just so lovely to have something that can capture such incredible images but doesn't weigh a tonne. I'm also still supporting the iPhone 6 so that doesn't have the best camera.

Next up is just some makeup bits for tops ups.
I carry around my powder which has a handy mirror and also my favourite ever lipstick which is MAC's Hue Lipstick.

Finally, I've taken to chucking a pair of sunglasses in my bag because the British weather has been so temperamental recently it's been going from Sunny to rain in 0.5 seconds!
The ones I've been opting for recently have been the Quay Australia and Desi Perkins collaboration in High Key - Gold which is pretty much a rose gold and conveniently matches the hardware of my Mulberry!
What is one thing you have to have in your handbag?!

There's Really No Need To Break The Bank

You know those items that you just fall in love with in the shops, online or on social media, but then see the price tag and start to feel a bit faint? Well this post is here to help with that yearning you have for the excruciatingly expensive piece that you can't live without but also can't bare to part with the money over.

I have trailed the internet to find some dupes of some on trend items that would potentially break the bank but are also here today but could be no longer in fashion tomorrow. I do think spending that extra money on a designer piece is best done when buying a classic or staple that you can use forever!

Therefore here are some items for when you'd rather be a bit spending savvy:
