favourite Spring trends

Spring is one of my favourite fashion seasons as well as summer, I love all the pastel colours and floral patterns so i get so excited shopping for my spring wardrobe!

♥ Pastels- they definitely have to be my favourite thing about spring! They are just so fun and i'm so excited to be wearing pastels again! 
Pink bag- missguided £30.99, Blazer- Topshop £65, Creepers- ASOS £89, Dress- missguided £24.99


♥ Coloured pants- This is an obsession at the moment, i love the way that as soon as you put a pop of colour into your outfit it immediately looks really chic and interesting. It looks so nice to just be able to have a white top or a clashing colour top and the pants pull the whole outfit together. Anyone can pull this outfit off, its just so easy!
Bright Blue- H&M £24.99, Lilac- Next £26.00, Turquoise- Topshop £38, Coral- missguided £19.99, Pink- Topshop £38


♥ Chunky Jewellery- Chunky Jewellery can pull an outfit completely together, it's so fun to be able to put a gorgeous chunky necklace or ring or whatever on and it changes the whole outfit to look really girly and flirty.
Ring- missguided £5.99, Bracelets- £5.99, Necklace- H&M £7.99, Studs- New Look £2.99


♥ Neon- I've always looked at neon as looking really tacky and cheap, but now it's definitely growing upon me and i think it looks really flattering having an outfit that consists of really boring colours then having a bright colour somewhere, weather its Jeans, a Blazer, Shoes or a bag... I definitely want to experiment with neons this Spring/Summer!
Leggings- American Apparel £30.00, Dress- missguided £25.99, Shorts- ASOS £25, Jacket- Miss Selfridge £47




♥ Lace- I think Lace just yells Spring! Lace is in every spring and i think it will be for years to come, it just makes an outfit look so cute and girly!
Bralet- River Island £18, Dress- missguided £24.99, Blazer- River Island £50, Shorts- missguided- £18.99


♥ Peplum- I wasn't really to keen on Peplum when i first saw it, but i think it's something else that is growing on me! I think it definitely looks the most flattering when you have a narrow bottom half on like a pencil skirt or some nice jeans or something.
Animal print top- ASOS £25, Dress- ASOS £49, Skirt- River Island £12, Top- £25

Dove Summer glow (for normal to dark skin) 250ml






       
 Boots- £5.69, Superdrug- £3.00

This is my 3rd bottle of this stuff in about a year and a half so i definitely don't think i could live without it! It's great if your like me and you hate seeing your skin pale but yet you don't want to look like an ompa loompa and having streaky fake tan on. This gives a nice even summer glow to your skin whilst at the same time moisturising and nourishing it. 
As it's a gradual tanner i always apply this in the evening so you can see results in the morning (it takes a few hours to actually show up on your skin) then if i want to keep the tan i will keep applying it every night. Also this doesn't wash off very easily in the shower, i guess if you scrubbed it lots with soap it probably would fade quite a bit, but i try my hardest not to scrub my skin with anything in the shower/bath so it won't come off.
Theres only a couple of things that aren't really to rave about, about this product. The first is that it's so sticky and uncomfortable especially when you go to bed with this on, i stick to the bed sheets and i have to lie spread out so that my legs or whatever don't stick together even though it's dried it still feels kinda wet and sticky. The other thing is the smell of it, at first when it's just come out of the bottle and you've just applied it, it smells amazing! But after about half an hour or so, it starts smelling of fake tan which i don't know about everyone else but i personally hate the smell of fake tan, it literally makes me gag!
Despite the downsides, this is the best gradual tinted moisturiser i've used and until i find a better one, i'm definitely going to be re-purchasing this to keep my skin having a gorgeous summer glow!
