Sugarhill Boutique Bunnykins Sweatshirt || OOTD

Bunnykins Sweatshirt* - Sugarhill Boutique || Shorts - River Island || Boots - River Island || Ombre Tights* - DKNY  

Spring is definitely saying an early hello which gives me the perfect excuse to ditch my heavy winter coat and opt for some luxurious and warm sportswear style sweaters. Not only is the classic sweatshirt soft to the touch and makes perfect Sunday attire, they also come in all sorts of cute and girly designs. The sun shining today made it the perfect opportunity to bring out my Sugarhill Boutique Bunnykins Sweatshirt. 

This sweatshirt brought to you by Sugarhill Boutique is quite simply stylish and the cute reoccurring bunny print makes it adorable; As we all know spring and bunny rabbits go hand in hand. I love how sweatshirts can be either dressed up or down and I decided the Bunnykins needed dressing up today, paired with my fashionable ombre tights, black denim shorts and platform boots  which turns this causal item into something a little bit more glamorous. 

Are you a fan of sweatshirts? Whats your favourite piece of Spring clothing? Be sure to let me know in the comments below.

In LOVE With Fashion || LOVE Charity Match

In Love With Fashion has always stood out to me when it comes to an online clothing store as they always have amazing clothing on sale for great prices. Not only is the clothing just lovely, their pretty playsuits have always been a favourite of mine!

Whats really good to see is companies getting involved and doing their bit for Charity and Love are certainly putting on quite the charity event. At the end of this month Love are hosting a charity football match in support of The Prince's Trust and The Arsenal Foundation down at the Finchley Wingate Stauidum. Being the girly girl I am I don't immediately jump for joy when someone mentions the word 'football' (beauty and fashion are more my thing), however this is no ordinary football match! The football match which will take place on the 29th September has one team filled with celebrities and they will be playing against a team full of Arsenal legends all in the name of charity! 

Some of the celebrities lined up include the gorgeous Callum Best, yummy Laurrie Duncan (Callum of Hollyoaks) and Liam Gilmore (another Hollyoaks hunk!) who are to be under the wing of Jermain Defoe, who will be the celebrity team manager. Now like I mentioned football isn't really my sport of choice, however I do know a thing or two about the game including that complicated off-side rule. What I also know is that this game will be filled with some pretty gorgeous men running around a football pitch for our entertainment and all for a good cause - What is not to enjoy? Not only will it be a football filled day, but In Love With Fashion are also showcasing some other talents including some of London's best dance troops and cheerleaders. Now if you know me and read my blog you will know that being a cheerleader myself, this is right up my street and if you ask me every football match should have some cheerleaders present to get the crowed pumped up for the game ahead.

In Love With Fashion don't stop there with their treats for the day, they are offering three lucky bloggers a chance to attend this special football game with VIP tickets, a ticket to the after party and £100 of in-store credit - WOW! If you would like to know how you could get your hands on a pair of those tickets all you have to do is click the link below.

In Love With Fashion - Love Charity Match

Being the fashion lover I am, I thought I would bring this post back to what I love and if I was lucky enough to win tickets to attend this charity event this is something that I would wear. 

Images from In Love With Fashion, River Island & Topshop

As I mentioned In Love With Fashion have on sale some of the prettiest playsuits you can get your hands on and I have fallen in love with their 'Love Black Crepe Eyelash Playsuit', the cutout detailing on the back is gorgeous and the lace detailing on the front is a lovely added touch. As the weather has dramatically changed in the last week and Autumn now feels as though its in full swing, I would pair this playsuit with these chunky platform boots from River Island and these cute bird tights from Topshop. To accessorise I would add this statement daisy necklace also from Topshop and pair the outfit with this 'Black Ribbon Shaker Hat' from River Island. This outfit maybe a little dressed up for a football match, but with an after party to go to and celebrities about a girl would need to look her best, right?

With all the fun that this charity event will bring, it's important to remember that its all for a good cause. This event will be raising money for the Princes Trust, a youth charity that..

'...helps disadvantaged young people to get their lives on track. It supports 13 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed and those struggling at school and at risk of exclusion. Three in four young people supported by The Trust move into work, education or training.'

So if any of you would like to go to attend this match, show your support and raise money be sure to check out this link.

Good luck to every one that enters and I hope In Love With Fashion can help raise awareness and money for this charity.

Lots of Love

Hair Tutorial || Boho Bun

The summer months are just the perfect time of year to allow us ladies to be a little more carefree with our hair and wear it a little messy. With the summer being festival season, I think big loose curls and messy boho buns are the perfect way to style your hair. I always find it a little funny how us ladies can sometimes spend ages tweaking and adding products to our hair just to make it look messy. However styling your hair a little messy doesn't have to be time consuming and today I want to share with you all a completely fuss free way to achieve a simple boho bun.  I am a huge fan of the messy bun but sometimes I want a bit more umph and volume to my buns and the hair donut is a fantastic hair tool that can be used to achieve quite a few looks. If you would like to recreate the look in the top picture then read on...

A hair dounut - 

(Choose a size on your hair length and how big you would like your bun)

Kirby Grips/Bobby Pins 

A hair bobble

A hairbrush 

Your favourite hairspray

Step One: For maximum volume and for easy styling I find that creating this hair style works so much better on second or third day hair. This way your hair isn't as soft and it makes wrapping it around the hair donut so much easier. I thought I'd pop a picture in of my sexy just got out of bed hair... I did whack in a load of dry shampoo just to freshen my hair up before hand and just give my roots a bit more volume.

Step Two: Take your hair brush and comb your hair into a ponytail, I find it much easier to comb the hair back neat and tight as it makes messying it up a lot easier before trying it up. To achieve more of a boho look I tend to go quite high with my ponytail so that the bun will sit quite nicely on the top of my head.

Step Three: Before tying my hair up with a hair bobble, I will always use my fingers to loosen up the hair at the front - This way my ponytail wont look too perfect once its held in place with the bobble. 

Step Four: You just want to place the hair donut around your ponytail, so that it's ready for the hair to be wrapped around it.

Step Five: For a more messy bun I like to backcomb the hair at the very top of the ponytail. This step is not essential, but I find that it creates a little more volume and gives your bun a more boho look to it for the finished result.

Step Six: Wrap your hair evenly around the donut - Keep twisting the hair around so that the donut it completely hidden and out of sight. For a a neat ballerina bun a hair bobble could be used here to secure the hair, but as this is a messy bun I use plenty of bobby pins/kirby grips to hold the bun in place. As I don't want to bun to look too perfect, I pull out little stands of hair as I grip and go along just to give it that boho look. I find that the more flyaway hairs you have, the more it looks as though your not even using a hair donut - When I wear my hair like this people often think that its all my own hair underneath that bun which is always a nice little plus.

Tip: Don't worry about being too perfect when placing your pins, it's a messy bun!

Step Seven: Once you are happy with the way your bun is looking, you will want to hairspray it to hold it all in place. When it comes to hairspray the Schwarzkoph Got2Be Happy Hour Hairspray is one of my favourites - It's a great hairspray for keeping your bun in place all day; It's not too heavy on your hair either, nor does it coat it so much that the hair feels crispy or hard. If your not wanting to wash your hair the next day, this hairspray is easily brushed out so restyling your hair is ever so easy. I also love its purple and blue ombre packaging - Amazing!

Step Eight: If your really wanting your bun to look cute, girly and summer ready then add some accessories - When it comes to hair styling I'm forever reaching for flowers as they just because I love them. For this tutorial I've added an elastic floral headband from River Island around the bun and secured it with some grips. I think this just completes the look and gives your hair festival boho look... and it is as simple as that!

I am forever reaching for this hairstyle ladies, not only does it look good, but it is so easy to do and takes me no more than five minutes to style - Perfect for those of you who are on the go in the early morning. I love how this type of hairstyle doesn't have to be neat or perfect which is what makes it so easy. Each time I style my hair this way, my bun always looks a little different and I'm forever adding different accessories to jazz it up a little. If you decided to give this ago please let me know, I would love to know how you get on. 

Are you a fan of big messy buns or the hair dounut? I would love to know your thoughts!

OOTD || Little Mistress Embellished Halterneck Maxi Dress

Dress C/O Little Mistress* £65.00

When it comes to summer fashion, the maxi dress should be a staple item in everyone's wardrobe. I have a huge love for the maxi dress as they are just so easy to wear, look beautiful on and they are an item that will suit almost all body shapes and sizes - However it can be a pain if you a little on the shorter side like myself, if the maxi dress comes out, then so do my super high platform wedges. When I want to dress up for something special I usually opt for detailed skater dresses or if I'm really going all out, an eye popping body con.  However there comes a time where a girl needs to look classy, elegant but have an outfit that's eye catching all the same and if your looking for such an outfit, then this gorgeous embellished halterneck maxi dress from Little Mistress is just perfect.

I adore this maxi dress, as you can see from the pictures its a little too glamorous to be worn as an every day outfit, but would be perfect for something that requires you to dress up a little. The halterneck of this maxi dress is heavily detailed with its gold beads and it really makes the dress eye catching and unlike any other maxi dress I've seen. It almost looks like a statement necklace which is part of the dress - How fabulous is that? I also love how the bottom half of the maxi dress is made from a light chiffon material which is sheer so your able to see the shorter underlay of the dress underneath - It's a little tricky to see this in the pictures, but I find that it just gives the maxi dress that glam look making it perfect for evening wear or a special occasion. 

I love how this dress looks on, all I need now is to find the right occasion to wear it - If your going away on holiday then this would be a perfect evening dress to take away with you. If your looking to make a statement this summer then you can find this stunning maxi dress from the Little Mistress website HERE.
