The Topshop neon blazer

Another weekend, another outfit post! This weekend consisted of catching up on emails, hanging out in Fun City with baby and going for afternoon tea. Not too shabby, eh? Thankfully, the weather has started to cool down here now so I’m really beginning to embrace wearing blazers again. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been wearing them all summer but not without some (sweaty) discomfort.

This one is a new purchase from Topshop. I’ve been perving over it for a few weeks now because I like the boxy shape, the crepe material and the blinding neon colour. I paired it with a swing dress from ASOS, one I bought quite some time ago which is now on sale, naturally! I usually veer away from swing dresses as I prefer a more structured look but this one is quite nice. It’s not entirely shapeless and the buttons are cute, plus I do love a bit of swing action. It makes me feel ridiculously girly 🙂

The rest consists of my usual bits and bobs; Wang Rockie bag, Kors watch and some bangles and bracelets from Whistles plus my now borderline battered Aldo sandals. Hope you all had a lovely weekend 🙂

How I create big, textured, tousled hair ☝️ How I create big, textured, tousled hair ☝️ 

Step 1. Dry shampoo, disperses evenly throughout the hair. I’m using @amika Perk It Up at the moment. Leave it to sit for a minute, then work in with your fingers. And then brush through.

Step 2. A curling wand. I use @instylerireland. Grab big sections and twist away from the face. For bangs, I like to pull forward and down, and then wave away from the face. Leave hair to cool for a minute or two. 

Step 3. Texture spray. I’m using @lovekmireland Doo Over here. Lift sections of the hair and spritz underneath. Don’t spritz on top as this will weigh down and mattify the hair. Do this evenly throughout your hair, and then work in with your fingers. 

Step 4. Root lift. I only ever use @oribe Dry Texturising Spray for this. I’ve never found anything as good as it. Again, lift up sections of hair (but only at the root), and spritz underneath. Do this evenly.m throughout - about three sections on each side of the head. Then spend a good minute working in with your fingers. 

And there you have it. Big textured, tousled hair 👋

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and National Su May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and National Sunscreen Day is on May 27th, so let’s talk about sunscreen 🧴 

☀️ Wearing sunscreen every day is the single best thing you can do for your skin. It’s the BEST anti-aging ingredient on the market.

☀️ Broad spectrum sunscreen reduces your chances of sunburn, of developing fine lines and wrinkles and pigmentation. It also gives your skin the opportunity to repair itself from damage that has previously occurred.

☀️ The way to get the stated SPF protection level on the bottle is by applying two milligrams of sunscreen per centimeter squared. That’s a solid amount of sunscreen. Make sure you’re applying a good dollop; a handful; at least a two finger amount. 

☀️ Apply liberally to your face, neck, chest, backs of your hands and your ears (and any other exposed skin!). 

☀️ Always use a standalone SPF. Using moisturiser or foundation with SPF is no good. The amount you put on your face will not give you sufficient coverage.

☀️ There are so many great sunscreens on the market, but the best one for you is the one you’ll actually use every day. Find one you love, one that feels good on your skin and works well under makeup, and stick with it.

Did you know Ruby Woo was created by accident? 💋 
The MAC team attempted to tweak the formula of Russian Red (another classic) and Ruby Woo was the result. It was launched in 1999 as part of a new lipstick collection called Retro Matte and has been a bestseller ever since! 
One of my all-time favourite, forever and ever lipsticks 💄
