Dolls Union Launch!

This week was exciting has I was given the chance to have a preview of some stock for a new online clothing website - Dolls Union. www.dollsunion.co.uk

Dolls Union was set up by Alice (wonderlandbyalice), to provide on trend and quality clothing for affordable prices, to ensure anyone on a tight budget can still get in on the fashion antics. All of the stock Alice brought to the mini blogger event was fab and perfect for Summer. The only problem I have now is that I just want to buy everything!

Here's how I styled some pieces - all of which are now available on the website here

Baby Blue Velvet Lace Print Shift Dress

This dress was my favourite item, I love the pastel colour and I think the style and shape would look good on anyone! It's velvet flock/lace pattern gives the dress a unique look perfect for a summers day.

I styled it with a long tassel necklace, to just add an extra detail to the simple shape of the dress. Adding a white blazer, white court heels and a matching clutch would make this outfit ready to wear to a wedding or another special occasion.

Baby Pink Boxy Top

I styled this top with some high waisted jeans for a casual daytime look.With just some simple stud earrings and a gold watch as accessories.

The scuba material is so soft and comfy, I just loved how it felt on! There is a matching midi skirt in the same colour and material available, which would make a great co-ord piece if put together- which  I  highly recommend I love a bit of a co-ord.

At just £6 I think this is well worth the money, there is so many ways you could wear it.

Ivory Floral Crochet Crop Top

I really like this pretty floral cut out top, it's perfect for summer and would look great over the top of a bikini for your hols!

I styled the top with a black bandeau and bodycon skirt to contrast against the ivory flowers. Pair with some black wedges to complete this night time look.

An alternative way you could style this top is to wear over a nude bra and match it with some high waisted denim shorts and a flower crown/headband to get that festival look.

I love all these pieces, there are so many ways you could style them, getting as much wear out of each piece as possible-which means they are a good investment! You should definitely go take a gander on the website and treat yourself to an item or two!

My Top 3 Hair Products!

Hi guys! With the sun finally making its arrival this week I've been trying to look after my hair a lot more and I thought I would share with you my top 3 hair products I've been using to keep it in good condition and to prepare it for the sun.

1.) VO5 Give Me Texture Tousled Style Spray

I mentioned this spray in my last post 'May Favourites', and I still love it. I am trying to avoid using heat appliances on my hair especially over the summer so I find this the perfect alternative to straighteners or curlers. I just spray a couple of inches  from the roots to the ends of my hair and then just scrunch with my hand to achieve a tousled messy hair do. However,the spray does protect against heat so if you did want to use some straighteners or curlers as well as the spray for a more elaborate style, you could do so without compromising the condition of your hair.

2.) Aussie Dual Personality Coloured Hair Protection + Shine Serum 

I've had this serum nearly a year, I cant believe how long it's lasted me! I do use it sparingly though, with two small squirts at a time, using too much can make your hair look greasy. I apply this to towel dried dry hair concentrating on massaging the ends and working up, combing it through with my hands. I find it keeps my hair from being frizzy and dull, giving my hair a healthy looking shine. It was my go-to product on holiday last year, the sun and constant washing wasn't helping the condition of my hair.

3.) Schwarzkopf Supersoft Kids Detangling Spray

After washing my hair it tends to get knotty and hard to comb through which can cause my hair to break and create split ends! I accidentally came across this spray whilst looking at shampoos and thought I would give it a go. I was a bit dubious to use it at first due to the fact it's a 'leave-in' conditioner, I thought it might add weight to my hair and make it greasy. Its safe to say it doesn't add weight or make it greasy. The sweet fruity scent and the way it leaves my hair feeling soft is a bonus to how easily it makes the task of combing through my hair after its been washed! 

This was a lucky find in my local pound shop, here are a couple of alternatives from Boots.

I hope you have found this interesting and that I have given you some inspiration to try new products to look after your hair this summer!
