Khaki And Creams

Hope you’ve all had a fabulous weekend – just a quick hello from me and a massive lack of outfit posts – i’ve seriously gotten out of the swing of things and to be honest, this past week, i’ve just been in jeans and a tee. I’m sure once the sun shows his face for a little bit longer, the Summer dresses will be out!  Hope you all have a great Monday!

Casual Days

If you could see the state of my wardrobe right now, you will literally wonder how on earth do I get dressed in the morning. It is shocking. To put an image in your mind - its a cupboard I can walk in it and stretch out my arms both ways. It has 2 rails, which aren't enough, so everything else is piled up on top of each other. It's ridiculous - so getting dressed, at the moment, is quite often 'what's on top of the pile?, Oh that - i'll just put that on.' So back to the outfit - casual outfit to run a few errands - ripped jeans, white tee and a massive cardi to hide all of the packets of crisps that I have eaten recently. That summer healthy living plan I had, hasn't been going that well. Whoops. Don't forget to check out my new blog layout at www.fashionchampagne.co.uk - it will all be back to .com as soon as the host sorts it out! 

Sleeveless Blazer From Select

I've got a massive thing for sleeveless blazers right now and seen and as i've become the laziest getting dressed in the morning person, these really have become some what of a wardrobe staple. They pull together a normal tee and jeans ensemble and they look great on a night out teamed with a dress or smart trousers. They even look fab with crop tops - if you're a bit like me and feel completely exposed in one - then this is for you. Select have some great ones in store right now. They aren't really any cheaper than New Look, however they have more options and I have to say that they do wash better! Don't forget that the new blog is hosted at www.fashionchampagne.co.uk for the time being! 

What do you guys think of sleeveless blazers - will you be wearing them this Summer?

Check It Out

Hello Ladies

I have had a little blog design - which is nearly finished - new posts will be in the new design template, however older posts will be a little bit different - until I can work out how to change it easily. The only thing that is left to do is to re-direct the domain name - which as it turns out - seems to be causing me the most issues. You will be able to see updates for the time being on the newly redesigned blog at the temporary blog url.

Check it out and let me know what you think! Hopefully the normal URL will be working soon. Also there is a new outfit post for you all to look at!

Wedding Season

Wedding season is in full swing right now and I always like to treat myself to a new dress for each wedding. I know this may seem a bit excessive, but it's the brides big day and I love any excuse for a shopping trip. The wedding in question took me to M&S - which is an unusual go to choice for me, however they had some great finds. Case in point - these lace up heels and this beautiful sequin dress. I think with Summer weddings you can go all out with all the gorgeous Summer colours that are on offer. I opted for a beautiful sequin orange dress that I teamed with beige lace up heels and a beige jacket to neutralise it a little bit. I felt all Kimmy K, although i'm pretty sure I didn't look like her ha. You can find the dress here and you should also check out the whole dress range as they have some fab finds - I bought another 2 dresses - Ooops!

Mac Newness

As it's pay day, i've obviously been doing a spot of shopping this weekend - who hasn't. My little shopping spree has been of the make up variety as appose to clothes, Mac make up to be precise. It was new foundation time - so i've opted for the Mac Studio Sculpt - usually I use Mac Studio Fix Fluid in NW25, but I fancied a change. The difference in the foundation is that the sculpt is more of a dewy finish and the fix fluid is more of a matte. I think I will like a bit of a dewy glow throughout the Summer months. Also I got myself Mineralize skin finish in Global Glow, which I absolutely love because it's so so shimmery. The reason for needing a shimmery light bronze is that I am going t Vegas in August and I want to glow in the evenings, actually glow! Currently i'm just using it as a highlighter, which is a lovely sunny glow.  What is your favourite foundation?

This was a good outfit day, but unfortunately was the WORST outfit pictures and also a very bad hair day. This was the only picture that I could salvage, so here you go.

Broken Camera

Sandals Primark // Jeans Boohoo // Cami Topshop // Jacket French Connection

This was the only picture that I managed to take yesterday as my camera battery has got stuck inside and it won't let me charge it. Until I work out how to change that, there won't be any outfit pictures unfortunately. Until that is fixed (hopefully this afternoon), follow me on Snapchat at kirstyba to see what I get up to and follow me to press days and events. Also you can find more updates on Instagram - search fashionchampagne and you'll find me.

Newness

I'm away most of August this year, which I will be blogging about. However it now means that I need to plan all of my outfits and buy lots of new bits to take away with me. First new item being these amazing sandals from Next - aren't they so cute. Wearing them today, so feeling very pocahontas like.

Bank Holidays

I love nothing more than a bank holiday Monday! If only all Mondays could be bank holiday ay! I'm currently watch The Flash in a crab coma, I ate far too much at Bill's today. I was so hungry, I felt like it was a good idea to order 2 breakfasts instead of one! What was I thinking? So now is definitely nap time. Enjoy your day.
