When sack dresses work

Whistles Roxanne Dress

I wore a sack dress from Whistles and it was good.

And by sack dress, I mean a nice, loose, airy dress with a teeny weeny bit of shape that stops you from looking five sizes bigger than you are. Sack-style dresses should probably play a big part in my wardrobe here because of the weather, but for some reason or another, I’ve kind of ignored them until now.

As soon as I saw this one from Whistles I knew it had to be mine. Knee-length (almost) + loose-fitting with a little bit of shape + v-neck + high quality, light-weight material = my ideal dress. It’s one of those dresses that you can literally fling on any time but it will still make you look ‘put together’. Know what I mean?

So that’s what I wore to brunch at Roberto’s in DIFC yesterday with Laura and the men, plus a pair of Jimmy Choo flats, a Sophie Hulme bag and ASOS sunglasses. A casual, but ‘hey-I-made-a-bit-of-an-effort’ outfit 🙂

Also, let’s ignore the fact that I am deathly pale at present. I think it’s because I dyed my hair darker during the week and any hint of a tan that was there before has now faded. As a result, I need fake tan recommendations please. I’m all out of Cocoa Brown so I’d like to try something new (and preferably non-messy/extremely easy to use as I am cack-handed when it comes to fake tan).

Back to Whistles for a moment, I think this is going to be my go-to brand now that I’m all grown up! I really like the quality of their stuff, particularly the dresses, so I plan to buy lots more pretty soon (this gorgeous zip dress is totally next!).

And lastly, I bought a new vlog camera! I am so excited about this development! So excited in fact that I made a terrible, not-very-exciting vlog today which I plan to upload later. It’s basically me being all excited about my new camera. That’s it. I’m really going to earn myself some new fans there, eh? Haha! 🙂

That’s all for now. Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend 🙂

Their new Dynamic Skin Retinol is an exciting launch as it’s suitable for entry-level users (using once a week) and experienced users (using several times a week). 

It contains a 3.5% retinoid complex, concentrated squalane and beta-glucan (an oat-derived humectant), so it’s powerful but hydrating and soothing at the same time 👏🏻 

They brought us to @westburydublin to celebrate the launch with the wonderful @louise_dermalogica (she’s patiently answered every nerdy skincare question I’ve ever put to her 😂) and honestly, I can’t believe it’s already over - so here’s a post to help me go back there for a moment.

@beautyofjoseon_official Relief Sun SPF50. It’s made with 30% rice extract so it’s super gentle and particularly great for sensitive skin. 

It’s lightweight, hydrating, not sticky and leaves no white cast on the skin (and it’s amazing under makeup). 

If you’re looking for a new sunscreen, try this. It’s absolutely brilliant 🙌🏻
