How I would dress my other half

Whilst I love Lee's style and like the clothes he wears, he does tend to stick with the same style clothes and will rarely try or wear clothes that differ from his reliable style. Even though I like the clothes he wears and find his style attractive there are at times where I wish he would step out of his bubble and try a different fashion style.

Often I have admired a t-shirt or pair of trousers and thought that Lee would look amazing in them but if they do not fit in with his reliable style he has been reluctant to even try them on. As he is a little obsessive about sticking with his style – his motto being if it ain’t broke don’t fix it – and does not like change when House of Fraser recently asked me how I would dress him for the day I thought at least I can virtually give him a make-over.

Dressing the bump – House of Fraser dress review.

As my bump has grown as my pregnancy has progressed, the challenge to find clothes in my wardrobe that both fit and are comfortable has become increasingly more difficult.  Whilst I thankfully have a few staple maternity clothes from when I was pregnant with Bug, my maternity wardrobe could do with a refresh. The fact that I am also now pregnant with the summer months to come, whilst when heavily pregnant with Bug it was the cold winter months that I braved, I am dire need of some summery clothes that are stylish, comfortable and can accommodate my bump.

As I am desperate for a few new items of clothing that will be perfect for my growing bump over the coming months, I was delighted when House of Fraser sent me a new dress from the House of Fraser range of Plus Size Dresses.

Adventures on Autumn days,

We love being in the great outdoors. Throughout the year we love any excuse to get outside to explore and play.

To me ever season has its own special charm. The beauty of each season is a wonder to experience and we love nothing more than having adventures in the great outdoors as we bask in the beauty and magic that each season has to offer.

 At the moment we are relishing Autumn. We are enjoying Autumn days spent having adventures in the crisp Autumn air. We love kicking crisp golden brown leaves and hearing the crunch of leaves underfoot as we enjoy long walks, escapades at the local castle ruins and hours spent playing at the park.

During Autumn as we edge ever closer to Winter we dig out our wellies and waterproofs for wet Autumn days for lots of fun puddle jumping and walks in the rain and our woolly jumpers for the dry, yet chilly other Autumn days when we enjoy our adventures in the crisp, fresh Autumn air.

For our recent adventure in the great outdoors when we enjoyed the beauty that Autumn has to offer on a lovely dry Autumn day when the sun was shining beautifully and the air was fresh and crisp, Bug wore a new outfit courtesy of House of Fraser.

My red carpet beauty look.

In celebration of BAFTA season, House of Fraser have invited bloggers to create their own red carpet beauty look.

Whilst my own style and beauty skills may be a little lot lacking most of the time especially thanks to so little time and energy needed to beautify myself plus a severe lack of funds to have a spending spree on make-up, beauty products and clothes, I love everything beauty and fashion related.  I admire other people’s style and beauty and especially love this time of year when I can check pout the beauty and style trends hitting the red carpet at the BAFTA’s.

As I love watching the beauty and styles seen on the red carpet when I heard about House of Fraser’s Red Carpet Beauty Look competition, where bloggers have a chance of winning a £100 House of Fraser voucher for creating their own red carpet beauty look I had to take part.  Being a huge fan of House of Fraser was a driving force in me entering this competition along with my hope of taking better care of myself.  As I want to look after myself a little better I thought this competition would be a great starting point so I thought I would be brave and take a step out of my comfort zone of not taking photographs of myself and dedicated some ‘me’ time in an attempt to beautify myself and create my own red carpet look.

Whilst I love the classic, glamorous Fifties inspired style often seen on Angelina Jolie and Dita Von Teese thanks to a very limited make-up bag I simply did not have the make-up to attempt to achieve a timeless red carpet look with pale complexion, cat-eye liner, fully bodied lashes and bold red lips.
