Power of the Pastel Dresses.

After doing my 'War of the White Dresses' post, I thought it would be a good idea to do a trilogy featuring different trends for dresses during the Spring. No Spring would be complete without pastel dresses, I have to slap on some fake tan every time though, as pastel colours can really wash me out. I feel like the pastel trend isn't around quite as much as last year, but it'll always be a Spring must.

Now this dress, kills to trends at once! Pinafores are having a massive come back this Spring, and I can not wait to get my hands on some! This pastel sort-of peach colour just looks so cute with the already cute pinafore style. The only thing I would be worried about is that this could be seen as quite a childish colour, so with the pinafore as well, I could end up looking like a little kid! But adding some fierceness to it with a leather jacket would get rid of this problem. Check this out at New Look.

I love lace, especially when the sleeves are sheer. This beautiful salmon colour looks so good with the delicate lace, and the black belt splits up the paleness of the dress. I personally could not pull this off as there is not enough warmth in the colour for it to work with my skin tone. This is from Select for only £16.

This dress is so pretty, it's by far by favourite pastel colour. 

I have quite a few skater dresses, but this has the nicest shape to it that I have seen! Also the colour of it is just beautiful, mint is such a lovely colour. For the summer, with a black waist belt and some heeled black sandals, you have the perfect outfit. You can grab this dress from Missguided.

I think this dress counts as pastel doesn't it?! I don't even care though as I have to include it! Midi dresses are just incredible, I just don't think that I would be able to pull it off so I'm so short, but I'm definitely going to try it out. But anyway, this print is so beautiful and will really accentuate your hips. As it's from River Island it's a little pricey but it's so gorgeous who cares about the price! 

As some of you probably know, Prom season is coming up so when I saw this gorgeous I thought I should show you. This is amazing, the lilac contrasted with the metallic belt just makes the colour pop. Going through the whole Prom process myself I know it can be expensive but this dress being so beautiful and for only £44.99 is a bargain for a prom dress! This could even be worn to a garden party and you'd be the centre of attention, you can get this from Missguided.

Sticking withthe prom theme, if you fancied going for a short dress, this is just as nice as the previous one. The silver embellishment on the waist to the shoulders so just so lovely against the aqua blue. Pairing this with silver accessories would complete the outfit and be perfect for prom. Again at just a fraction of the price of non-highstreet dresses, New Look have done well.

Hope you enjoyed this, stay tuned to see some Neon themed dresses, becciixx.

War of the White Dresses.

Now, it's nearing the Summer and we are finally getting a peak of the very delayed Spring, so we are being bombarded by pale dresses at a frail attempt to show of any slight tan. I love a pastel coloured dress but I'm having a greater addition to white summery ones. They are around everywhere at the moment, I would love to include some from Primark but as they do not have a website I am presented with a problem. So if you're an addict like me then check out Primark!

I love basic, fun t-shirt dresses! This Others dress is just so cool -there's no other word for it- just awesome. I would tell you how to style it but I think ASOS have pretty much done what I have done with the styling. Some high-tops with a beanie is just the perfect way to wear for a t-shirt dress. And it's bang on trend with the monochrome looks.

Cut out maxi dresses are just beautiful and so classy. -You will see that cut out dresses play a large part in this post.- With lace detailing on the top and a gorgeous chiffon skirt, this is my idea of love. This would be perfect with bright shoes and a matching bag just the make to white stand out even more. I think this outfit would be ideal to wear for a romantic Summer date, or a fancy frock occasion. You can purchase this at New Look, -unfortunately it's not in the petite range.-

This really cute and stylish dress is perfect for a posh barbecue, or just to wear out to shopping by styling it down with a beige across the body bag, a long statement necklace and some beige brogues or gladiator sandals. The cut out detailing just makes the dress more interesting to look at by highlight the slimmest part of your waist. This dress is from Missguided.

This dress is so cute! It's probably the prettiest out of this post, but there's nothing wrong with that. The gorgeous embroidery at the top is just so eye catching, especially as the waist section is see-through showing  the pattern of it much clearer. I took a detour from the cut out pieces and went for some see-through lace instead. You can find this on H&M for only £20! -Which I think is a bargain!-

By now you're probably thinking, 'enough with the cut-out detail!' But that's just the problem I can't get enough of it, this time having the detailing on the shoulders gives it a more elegant feel and contrasts perfectly with the slightly sheer sleeves! It is a little pricey at £59 but it is very gorgeous I may consider paying it! This is from the American shop Romwe, but luckily they do free worldwide delivery, so get on it! 

I love the dresses with a sweetheart neckline and then a lace high-neck following down the arms, -so obviously this dress was going in the post as soon as I saw it!- What's just so amazing about it is the lace detailing is actually lace daisies which just makes me love it more! It's such a feminine dress, so if you wanted to toughen it up a leather gilet would be perfect. You can get this on Missguided, and while you're there check out this gilet from George!

This last dress is very unusual compared to the others, it almost reminds me of a nightie my Grandma would wear, but it pulls it off. Like the previous dress, there is a sort of sweetheart neckline but with sheer sleeves a chest which is very sophisticated. The collar embellished with pearls, I think, takes it across the boundary of a nightie to a really pretty Summers day dress. You can pick this up at ASOS.

Hope you liked some of these dresses, becciixx.

A spring jacket.

Now Spring is here -sort of- but you've got to make the most of the trends, especially the bright's, because before you know it it's going to be over. I don't really tend to stick to trends, I try to just wear what I want, even if it would be considered as last season! It's always very difficult to stay away from trends as all the high-street shops follow them, but I have no problems with following this trend as -to quote my blog- you got to love it! 

My favourite thing about this jacket is the contrast between the bright coral and the knitted sort of texture of it. This in my opinion is the perfect spring jacket -for now anyway, until I get my hands on a yellow or mint jacket-. It's the perfect tone for me, as during the day the redness in my face can start to show through my foundation and bright colour can start to blend in with my face, which is not a good look! However this jacket really compliments my skin, so if you have pale skin that has a redness to it, this would probably be perfect for you too.

Just to make this jacket even better it has gold studding along the trim of the lapel, this just adds to the sophistication of it -as it's all in the details.- The zips on both sides of the jacket are a great twist rather than having the standard pockets that most jackets have.

You may have noticed I have avoided telling you the price and where it's from, simply because this is the cherry on the cake! It was £18, from George at ASDA, does it get any better than that!? If my memory serves me correct it is also available in black with white thread running through it, if you'd rather go for the monochrome trend rather than the bold brights.

I will soon have a Lookbook on my youtube featuring this jacket, so if you want to see it in action then check out that soon! 

Hope you're doing well and I'll speak soon, becciixx

Ted Baker Sunniess.

I love love love sunglasses, so when my boyfriends mum surprised me with a little early birthday present I was over the moon! I spied these Ted Baker sunglasses in Tkmaxx and fell in love with them, the rounded style is just my favourite -been after them for donkeys years!- The tortoiseshell effect on them is also fantastic, it makes them not too black but also not quite brown, which is perfect as I am pretty darn pale! And obviously being Ted Baker was a pretty big bonus, as Ted is just ma fave and all my sunglasses are from Primark!

Tkmaxx is just fantastic, I could spend hours looking in there, but they are particularly good for sunglasses. As most things are in Tkmaxx because they have faults or are last season, this does not effect sunglasses, as I think they are just timeless and don't really go out of fashion! -Basically you always have to prise yourself away from them before you buy like a million!- Due to being in Tkmaxx through I fault or otherwise, they are always much cheaper than the RRP. Not sure how much the sunglasses cost but the are definitely a whole lot cheaper than being in Ted Baker  I've seen Steve Madden shoes, Gucci sunglasses and even some beautiful cheap wedding dresses!

So if you live in the UK and haven't been into a Tkmaxx, it's definitely worth having a nose around to see what you can find! And if you're from the US then I'm pretty sure that your equivalent is Tjmaxx so lucky you haha!

Be back soon, becciixx

Floral Nails.

Now I have to admit to you that I am a nail art fanatic -you will definitely find this out along the way- as I will keep you posted on all of my nail art exhibition if you will haha. Yellow is rapidly becoming my spring colour; whether it's clothing, a slick of yellow eye-shadow, or in this case nail varnish. And clearly nails in Spring would not be complete without a floral twist! These are 100% my ultimate Spring nails -I'll be saying that next week about some other design-.

Before I got into nail art I would have been completely baffled about how to attempt to create small dots with such a large brush that you get with a varnish. But in reality it's very simple, you can just get hold of some RIO nail art pens, the ones that I use have nibs at one end and a very thin brush at the other. They make creating nail art much easier for the even the rookies of nail art, therefore making it more enjoyable too! Similar RIO nail art pens can be purchased here.

For these nails I used BarryM's 'yellow icecream' for the base and used the RIO nail art pens in metallic pink and white.

I have recently found that BarryM have released their own nail art pens, -which I am very keen to get my hands on- I'm not completely sure if they have actually been released yet but I have seen reviews of them everywhere but I can't find them on Boots or anywhere!

Lovely sharing with you, until next time, becciixx
