Topshop Unique at London Fashion Week SS14

I love Topshop and as it is one of my favourite places to shop, I thought I would have a quick browse to see if there was anything to more to add to my endless wishlist. When I was looking, I managed to find a link to the video of the show of their collection at London Fashion Week and as my favourite model Cara Delevingne was on the thumbnail, I couldn't not watch it.

I fell in love!

Designs included beautiful v-neck summer dresses, light cotton fabrics which made the models look effortlessly cool & fresh and modern patterns such as geometric & cut-out stars; think images from Morocco & Africa.
The sun dresses came in emerald green, midnight blue and marigold which were the designs which stood out to me the most.



These are just some of the outfits walked down the runway. I hoped you like them as much as I do and hopefully one day I'll get to watch one of the shows!

Review: Palmer's Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze Body Lotion


  Palmer's Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze Body Lotion is a gradual self tanning moisturiser - many people have hyped about it for a while now so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon.

Firstly, it has quite a light consistency which makes rubbing in easy, it sinks into the skin very quickly and the pump is very handy as it doesn't make any mess.
The tanner is great as it gradually builds up so you can achieve your desired shade without going too dark - I usually apply it for 2-3 days in a row to reach the colour I want because if I did it everyday all the time, I would look like a wotsit/chocolate bar.
The only thing I could fault about it is the smell - I hate it! It's very sweet, biscuity and over-powering, however it does the job and I would happily repurchase.

Morning Skincare Routine


As I haven't done this yet, I thought I would do a post on my skincare routine (and the products I use) I currently do every morning. I have been using these products for a while now and I absolutely love them, however they may not suit everybody's skin type (I have normal/combination skin). I would definitely recommend these though.



Firstly, I squeeze out a pea-sized amount of Clinique Liquid Facial Soap and lightly massage into my face (I usually run my hands under the tap though before so the product lathers up better). This gently cleanses my face without being too harsh on my skin.



Next, I will pour some Clinique Clarifying Lotion onto a cotton wool pad and carefully wipe around my face - avoiding the eye area as it will sting. This removes any excess dirt/oil the face wash may not have removed, but also it leaves my skin feeling refreshed.



Finally, I squeeze out a pea-sized amount of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion and massage into my skin as it can get quite dry otherwise. This is a light lotion which is ideal for everyday as it is not too heavy or thick.

I hope this update was helpful and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it :)
