WEDDING FEVER | SHOP THE LOOK

Darlings, wedding season is here and it's already to die for.

Over the past decade weddings have turned from your traditional white wedding into something a little more meaningful and inevitably experimental.

So whether you are walking down an aisle covered in florals, eloping to Vegas or getting married at your local city hall the opportunities are endless and ultimately chic.

Perhaps you are shopping the new Topshop bridal collection? Or maybe inspired by Olivia Palermo's lace shorts and blue Manolo's? Or maybe you spend your days browsing Pinterest for every inch of inspiration? Weddings are all about you, so it's vital you make it everything that you dream of whether that's expressing your wanderlust desires or making history in a place you call home. 

I seek inspiration in every surrounding and find myself torn with my favourites as the next is always so different from the last. 

The details are down to you and your wedding day is your chance to place your mark on this world and inject your personality into a setting that you fabricate based on everything that you love in your life.

I recently attended a dream Spring wedding. Think florals, pastels and all your Pinterest desires merged into one. Not only did the Bride & Groom, Rebecca and James look flawless but the time and effort placed into making their wedding their very own was unprecedented. The attention to detail was like no other. From getting married in an ancient church to celebrating in a 17th Century manor house, these settings did not fall short of character and spoke for themselves. A navy and pastel green colour combination, paired with a gorgeous array of the finest spring florals provoked nothing but effortless Spring vibes. This was apparent in every inch of detail, from the table settings to the personalised plaques found throughout each destination, epitomising perfection.

I am forever talking about experimentation, and overstepping the boundaries so when it comes to your wedding day why wouldn't you do just that?

It's time to inspire, influence and succeed, a mantra we live by. 

So the next time you dream of running away to Santorini, running to the registry the next day or inviting those hundreds of guests to your castle,

make sure you do it. 

Make your thoughts a reality.

Do we have Spring fever, wedding fever ... or both?

Day dreamer X Nails Inc

Now there is no denying that I have no desire to pretend that I am fascinated by all things Unicorn, like many (unless it's the new Starbucks frappuccino we all want our hands on). HOWEVER, some things are just too good to resist.

Unicorn nails by Nails Inc. are everything. The dream duo featuring a rose shimmer and marble lilac bring our wildest fantasies to reality when it comes to a show stopping manicure. The range is completely over the top and completely unnecessary however brings experimentation into a whole new realm that is carefree yet far from understated. 

Nails Inc. are infamous for their reliable brushes and iconic bottles. Their, 'sparkle like a unicorn' range combines one of our favourite nails brands with an idea that is fun and feisty. Not only do these colours apply like a dream but their colours change in every inch of light.

The holographic presence of Dream Dust and Rainbow Wishes is complimented by its long lasting sheen and 3D pigment meaning reapplication is unnecessary. Whether worn together or individually these colours will never fail to impress. 

If you are seeking something dramatic, powerful and ultimately ravishing these are for you my darlings. After all Spring fling has begun, embrace it.

Well well well my darlings what a busy week it has been, but with that being said it has certainly been a good one. After working like crazy last weekend a little break, after submitting Tuesdays deadlines, was everything. 

I spent my Wednesday evening with Ed Sheeran and needless to say he was a dream.

RULE BREAKERS X COACHELLA

If you find yourself lucky enough to be in the Californian desert over the next two weeks, the place where we all dream to be, make use of it.

Rule breaking is back and it's even more scandalous than you expect. 

Festival style has taken a turn for the better, but will you dare to embrace?

Darling ditch those flower crowns

Braids are all the rage and we aren't talking pretty. It's time things got a little hot and heavy so whether you are weaving your way to magic or creating a beaded situation, go overboard and excessive. 

Didn't you hear gingham is the new floral?

... and it is everywhere. Who would have thought Dorothy style vibes would turn things upside down? Florals are over, and so are you if you dare to wear. Take this print and wear it out.

Slider your way into frolics

Forget boots, they have worn themselves out. The best thing is that their replacement is all the more effortless and not to mention undeniably resistible. You know you shouldn't but whether Kimoji or fluffy, we all know you can't wait to get your hands on a pair of sliders.

Head to toe in jewels my darling

Body jewellery is utterly divine so forget saving your chains for bikini days, the more you wear the better. Take inspiration from Kendall and Em Rata, if there was ever two women to turn to for impeccable style stakes these are a must. Not to mention they are festival royalty. 

Slogan sass

Let your tee do the speaking. Everyone desires to make a statement without even saying a word and now is your chance. Let your sassy attitude speak through your show stopping style just be less offensive and more overly dramatic. You will be surprised how many make the cut. 

Beauty blunder beau

Blues, pink, corals and everything in between. Forget your beauty no go's for just one weekend. Rules were made to be broken at festivals so why stop in your flawless beauty look? If there was ever a time to experiment it's right now, just don't relegate yourself to glitter. 

We talk trends and we talk rules but sometimes we need to take a step back and revise exactly just what we are doing . This is your chance to overstep the boundaries, make it count and take regret off the horizon.

Once you start you won't be able to stop.

 

Spring fling

It's a fresh season my darlings and this year we are leaving our daisy crowns behind and turning our frolics into something a little more extravagant. With Coachella in days, the identity of A on it's way and your wanderlust desires going into overload it's time for our Spring fling to begin.

So get your bikini shopping begun, your fur sliders bought and your destination dreams fulfilled. Spring is when your detox comes and goes, your midweek nights are spent outside sipping cocktails and your wardrobe overflows with footwear other than anything and everything heeled.

We all love an outrageous Summer but Spring is just that little something to keep us going and motivated, after all the strive to slay remains at the forefront of our agenda.

 Everyone says that Autumn is where it begins again but my darlings we are just getting started.

Keep your head up.
We don't believe in falling. 

 

Girl on the go

Life hacks for girls on the go

Always keep a pair of heels in your car or office, you never know when you may need a quick switch.

Dressing up is the new dressing down, never be caught off guard.

Always plan your outfit the night before, it's just another thing you can take out of your morning routine.

Carry your current nail colour with you, chipped nails are not cute. 

Style studio Instagrams are everything, keep up with trends and buy seconds later.

Set your alarm tone as your get up and go song, Crazy in love wakes me up at 4am most mornings.

Set up your online shopping accounts as quick buys, you never know when you are going to need a show stopper last minute.

Don't make lists, just go ahead do it. 

A single cup of coffee a day can set you up, anymore can do the opposite. 

Stay well connected, you never know when that connection will come in useful. 

Don't make appointments if you can't keep them, no one likes flakiness. 

Surround your self by inspiration, a quote a day is a life changer.

Give a girl a break, work hard play hard.
