One colour.

Silde split top: Warehouse. Trousers: New Look - Old (Similar). Necklace: Zara - Old (Similar). Patent shoes - Old (Similar). 

I'm all about dressing in one colour.

Head to toe, including matching lipstick and all.

I would say, that if you're going to rock one colour and one colour only, there are a few rules that  will help make the outfit work:

-Vary textures (Knits, linen, leather, silk.. The options are endless),

-Use different shades of one colour, such as burgundy, red, oxblood etc,

and last, but by no means least,

-Break up bright colours with complimentary accessories.

And now you're ready!

Would you rock the one colour look?

Black dress.

Dress: Warehouse.  Jelly heels: Melissa (Old).

I definitely think the phrase 'Business in the front, party in the back' applies here.

I'm sure regular readers will remember from a previous post, that i'm a sucker for all things backless.

Another thing i'm a sucker for, is simple outfits when going out.

There's nothing I love more than a dress that does all the talking.

As you can see, a lovely black midi dress with sheer overlay and a nipped in waist. You really wouldn't need much in terms of accessories.. Simples! 

Vitamin C.

Vitamin C Range - The Body Shop.

I adore pretty much anything The Body Shop has to offer and when I discovered the vitamin c range..   I fell in love.

Here's a few of my favourite products from the range:

Skin Reviver:

My new love affair all started off with this product, which is a true treat. It can be used as a primer underneath make-up, or simply used alone. I tend to use it after the microdermabrasion, as I think they pair together perfectly! 

It makes my skin feel revived, healthy and glowy.. And who wouldn't want that?

Microdermabrasion:

I'm a sucker for an exfoliator. 

I use this product once or twice a week, for a deeper cleanse. This is more of a harsher exfoliator than others I have tried, but leaves your skin feeling sparkly and throughly cleansed. 

Glow Boosting Moisturiser:

A product for dull, tired and grumpy skin (They should've just labelled it.. 'A product for Vanessa!'). This moisturiser has a gel like consistency, and with only a small amount, you have more than enough to cover your face in its entirety.

Instant Glow Enhancer:

The actual product is a lovely peachy shade, which can be used as a primer underneath make-up, or just on its own. As with most, a little goes a long way and I tend to use this on its own, just for when my skin needs a little pick me up.

There are various other products in this range and I truly can't wait to try them out!

Have you tried any of the products in this range?

Khaki.

Jumpsuit: Zara. Sandals: ASOS (Old).

Now, there's a colour that has been calling out to me this season and that colour is *drum roll please*.. khaki. I bet you weren't expecting that, what with it being the title of this post!

 It's a gorgeous muted colour, which pairs so well with a wide spectrum of colours and looks delightful on everyone.

I've also seen jumpsuits and playsuits doing the rounds, but I never feel like they'll suit me. 

That's until I spotted this loose fitting, backless number. It's a lovely lightweight piece, that can be dressed down in the day, or throw on a pair of heels and dance away.

I also feel like being a curvier girl, it still provides me with shape, but doesn't cling to much!

What are your thoughts?

Bohemian flapper.

Dress: Zara.

Do you ever see a dress, or other item of clothing and think "That is so me?!". Well, this is what happened when I was strolling through Zara recently. Was I on the look out for another dress? No, no I was not. But, when you hear the call.. You truly need to answer it!

When the weather permits, I shall permanently be draped in floaty dress. I also hope that it will be warm enough not to cover these dresses with other items, but hey! I am realistic, this is England after all. So a delightful longline jacket would pair delightfully.

Of course, when i'm not prancing around my garden, I shall adorn my feet with lace up sandals. But until then.. 

Three smoothie ideas.

Who isn't making smoothies right now? 

If you answered no, then you truly need to start. It's a great way to add fruit and vegetables to your diet, in a fun and tasty way. My favourite part about it.. The experimenting! 

I have made some truly divine creations and some that were akin to drinking sludge.. Mmm.

Here's a few of my tastier experiments:

(All served over ice!).

2x Bananas,

a handful of dates,

2x tbsp of Chia seeds,

1x tbsp of cacao powder,

1x tbsp of almond butter,

1x tbsp of cinnamon powder,

1x tbsp of maca powder,

and

Almond milk.

1x banana,

1x clementine,

a few sprigs of mint,

a handful of frozen summer fruits,

coconut water,

juice of half a lemon, 

1x tbsp of chia seeds,

and

1x tbsp of acai powder.

1x banana,

a handful of spinach,

a few springs of mint,

juice of half a lemon,

1x tbsp of wheatgrass powder,

1x tbsp of chia seeds,

a handful of dates,

coconut water,

and 

a splash of lime cordial.

Sheer & Black.

Sheer black maxi: H&M (Similar).  Textured crop: New Look.  Textured midi skater skirt: Topshop (Similar).  Lilac satchel: New Look.  Cut-out lace up heels: New Look, Sold out (Similar) and (Similar).

There's something about an all black outfit that makes you feel like you're rather sassy indeed.

I saw this sheer maxi in H&M and it pretty much had my name on it. It's a lovely lightweight shirt, which would be perfect for a night out or even as a cover up on holiday. As i'm not blessed in the height department, it's a tad too long, but once I throw on some heels, we're good to go!

The current cut-out/lace-up shoes are the shoes of the season and they are dreamy indeed. 

Are you a fan, or are you a fan? I love them!
