OOTD - Misha In wonderland

“There is no better designer than nature.” 

― Alexander McQueen

Dress- Asos - another similar here

Although this dress looks nothing like the one Alice wore in Alice and wonderland, fall I can think about when I see it is the book/film, the dress is so enchanting and whimsical it would be hard not too link them. The colours are so earthy and merge well together there are two differing styles on the website with the other being slightly darker and with more of a floral print (both linked above) I do prefer the other colour however they are on low stock at the moment and only hold it in a size 14.

This Ultra drop waist mini dress is in fact only available in the petite range at Asos which is designed to fit women of 5'3/1.60m and under, however I am 5'7 and although the dress is a little short it still covers everything and doesn't look like it wasn't intended for a person of my height. I applaud Asos for creating such a unique dress, currently everything looks the same and it's always nice once in a while to choose a piece that breaks the mould, as famously said by Dr. Suess (who relates greatly to Alice and wonderland)  - "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?".

OOTD - Miss Marble

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn” 

― Orson Welles 

Dress- Motel Rocks// Boots - Chockers

I absolutely love this dress from Motel Rocks, the skater/babydoll style is cute and girly and the colours of the tie dye marble print are so flattering especially on darker skin tones. This dress is perfect for the warm weather as the material is light and flowy. 

Tie dye is also very much on trend at the moment it's definitely in the stages where it's over populating the highstreet stores and getting slightly annoying like studs did a few months ago but it's predominantly on shorts and T-shirts and mainly dip-dye, so this dress is still individual, and you're almost guaranteed you won't see anyone wearing a similar dress to this on your travels.

Review - Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder (Universal)

Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder (Universal)

An invisible powder which sets your makeup, whilst diminishing the look of fine lines and imperfections 

In the UK - John Lewis, Space NK, House of Fraser, Liberty, Selfridges, Harrods, 

Harvey Nichols, Fenwicks. (For other countries check the website here)

£29

I love this product and would definitely say it's worth the high end price, the reasons for this are -

*I can apply my make up horrifically, but the minute I put this on top my make up look flawless, more natural and soft.

*It sets my make up perfectly for almost a full day.

*It is completely invisible and you don't look too matte or powdery 

*It's illuminating and livens up dull and dreary skin

 (particularly used over under eye concealer to fully eradicate dark circles) 

* controls oily skin, a great alternative to the oil controlling blotting papers which I don't particularly like as I feel they remove your makeup 

*I have acne prone skin and this has never affected it at all, it is suitable for all skin types including sensitive as it Talc Free, Paraben free, non-comedogenic and oil free. 

*Although it is invisible it does seem to lighten your makeup, currently I like this as my foundation is too dark for me so it's perfect, but if you want to keep the same colour i'd suggest The Laura Mericer powder in Translucent rather than Universal (same price) 

* The container isn't the best because every time the lid is opened a lot of powder escapes and is wasted. The Translucent setting powder container is deeper and tends to keep more of the product in it, I haven't used the Translucent but I've been told by a woman on the Laura Mercier and friend who has, that they are practically the same apart from Translucent looks better when applied to darker skin tones. 

The brush I apply this with is the real techniques Powder brush (sold at Boots). 

I really recommend this Universal setting powder, (or the Translucent powder), I needed something to set my makeup and instead of going for the Mac fix plus (which I've heard can irritate your skin if it's sensitive), I thought i'd try something different. I am so glad I did as I now adore this product, it has earned it's place in my everyday makeup bag and I use it most days and every time I have somewhere nice to go on an evening. 

 I'm considering putting it in a different container so I don't waste as much,or trying out the Translucent powder either way i'm definitely sticking to Laura Mercier setting powders. What's not to love about a product that rescues your makeup's appearance on a day when it just wont go on correctly or doesn't look right

(..and we all have those days !!)

OOTD - Vintage Floral

Dress - Zara/Ebay// Heels - asos 

So first things first, this gorgeous floral tea dress was only £7 !!

 It's originally from Zara but I bought it from the magical land of eBay (where prices are incredibly low) . I'm not sure if this is a copy of the Zara dress, it came with the tags on, but the seller has a lot of them in stock ranging from size 6-12.

I definitely have expensive taste but I can't deny I also love a bargain, 

and this dress was such a great find for the summer. 

It's a modern twist on a vintage style with the colours, the pattern and the 50's kick out skirt. Paired with some heels or sandals I'd say it's ideal for a garden party.
