SUMMER WHITE

Hello, Everyone :)Today I will bring you a ''little white dress'' outfit. This is the 3rd outfit for my 10 Days of Summer Style posts, and if you are just checking in then it's a series I'm doing during June and July...hopefully I won't go into August with these :D I will try to post an outfit for 10 occasions you are most likely to come across during the summer and give you a little insight into what I would wear to these outings/stayings :) So hope you enjoy the post :) Leave a comment on what occasion you are struggling to find style inspiration for :) Maybe I can help. This will be a ''Datenight'' outfit :)
The last time I wore this dress I was about 26 weeks pregnant and it was my baby shower :) It has an elasticated waist witch made it so comfortable with a tiny bump and now without the bump, the waist is being accentuated. I love a white dress during summer. I just think it looks so pretty with tanned skin, some gold and leather accessories and a nice peachy lipgloss. 
I love the lace detailing of this dress. It is the cheapest brand that you can get but a good lace work always makes an item look more expensive than it actually is. It is so light weight so perfect for those hot summer days/nights. I would personally wear it for a midnight summer datenight :) Maybe add a darker lipgloss and a nice light cardigan or jacket :)
I went for a bit of a bohemian style with the accessories. I also thoguht of adding a belt, but since I am very short (5ft4) I liked how the all white dress just elongated me. And obviously the platform heels helped :D

Hope you enjoyed the post :)

MY LITTTLE BOX UNBOXING



Hello, Everyone :) I received this little cute box today in the mail, so I figured I'll do a little unboxing post for you. I know all these beauty subscription boxes are really popular and there are so many of them out there. I chose this one because it seemed to offer something a little different. And I must say I am very happy with my decision to go for it :)

The July monthly box theme is ''French Riviera'' and its a collaboration box with Sarah Lavoine, a interior designer. Inside there were all these lovely goodies, a pamphlet and a few cards with information about the products. Before I go into detail about the goodies have a look at the packaging....I mean COMEOOOON....it's so freaking cute. The box the whole thing comes in itself is worth the 14 pounds a month :D But I am slightly obsessed with nice boxes anyway so maybe I'm not the most biast person talk.
































In this months box there was:
Keratine Thermique, Blow-Dry Care for Unruly Hair by Kerastase, RPR £19.50
Sunglasses Sarah Lavoine x My Little Box, £18
Sea Salt Fresh Scrub by My Little Beauty, £8.50 for 75ml
Planters duo, £6.50
Nails polish loved by Sarah Lavoine, £6.50 

I am loving the Kerastase smoothing taming milk already. My hair is absolutely crazy and I can just see this being the saviour I need. The blue is such a nice sea blue I can't wait to try it on my toes :D I thought the sunglasses would look weird as my face is big and the sunglasses looked pretty small, but they actually look really cool. Sea salt scrub will come in handy when the sun gets tougher and the only thing I'm not too sure about in the box is the bags? for plants? anything? I don't know :D Maybe they will find good use in the bathroom, but they are not refined enough in their shape for me to put them anywhere else is the house....maybe outside? :D I don't know.
All in all this box is AWSOME and I think everyone deserves a bit of French in their life ;)

All the products (apart from the Kerastase hair care product) are available at My Little Corner and subscription for your own box can be made at My Little Box website.

Hope you enjoyed the post
I am planning to get back in track with my 10 Days of Summer posts...fingers crossed :D 
Stay tuned :)

FRIENDLY LUNCH PARTY

Hello, Everyone :) The second outfit for my 10 Days of Summer Style includes greens, gold and tan colours. I love the combination of green and brown. The pop of gold just adds a little bit of fancy to it. And also it's there because of the rule of 3. I never go for just 2 colours in my outfit as it just looks very dated. I also try to add at least 3 extra accessories or items to my outfit. Either a jacket, a bag, a statement necklace, a hat, scarf... you get the jist. 
The outfit I chose I actually wore for a lunch date with D and O. The only thing I changed was the shoes. It's just not very sensible to wear wedges that high with an active 10 month old :D But I would wear them when I would meet up with friends and could leave him home :D

WEARING: JEANS - forever21, SWEATER - zara, TANK TOP - h&m, WEDGES - select, EARRINGS - accessories, WATCH - Olivia Burton, BANGLE - gina tricot. BAG - new look

Hope you enjoyed the post :)
Stay tuned
