In the meadows

Outfit:
Cut out meadow printed dress - c/o Lashes of London
Black slouch clutch bag - Next
Black strappy gold heeled sandals - c/o Boohoo

I've never been on for low cut clothes as let's face it my chest is nothing really to shout about and I don't like showing off my legs with bum skimming dresses. So this cut out midi dress had my name written all over it. The length is perfect and the cut out stomach helps to stop me looking too frumpy. I love the pretty summery pattern and the sturdy material. If you're going to do bodycon it has to certainly suck you in and boy did this make sure none of my lumps and bumps were showing.

I'm wearing this for a day out at Newmarket races followed by seeing Madness later on tonight. It's to help celebrate my mother birthday - she's certainly milking turning 50 as her actual birthday was back in May and we still have Claridges for Afternoon Tea in August. There's a huge gaggle of us traipsing down to Newmarket in a karaoke, booze filled, furry-lined, party minibus. It seems like when we do things we do them in style. I predict a day/night of carnage with my mother's friends putting my best friend and I to shame and showing us exactly how it's done.

This week i'm loving - S5 Replenish Serum

S5 Replenish Serum for Dry or Scarred Skin - c/o

I've never really had terrible skin or suffered from acne but when I do get the rare spot it seems to always unfortunately scar my skin. It leaves awful blemishes and doesn't really look very nice. This serum claims to reduce dryness, maintain elasticity and improve scarred and damaged skin. At £44 it isn't the cheapest product to try but thankfully it's an investment as it does exactly what it says on the tin. I've used it everyday in the evening after I've deep cleansed my face for over a month (I think - I'm useless with timing!). I leave it it sink in for around 10 minutes before I apply my moisturiser. I was a bit nervous it would make my face feel greasy at first because it's a oil but once the moisturiser has been applied all is fine and dandy. I must admit I'm not over keen on the strong smell but that's just personal preference and I'm willing to overlook as I've found it's made a difference. My scars on my face have significantly faded making them hardly visible and the dryness around my nose has improved too. The bottle seems to last forever as you only need 3-4 drops on a cotton pad to get even coverage. The cost per use will certainly even out and the 44 smackers will feel like small change. I'm now eager to try other S5 products.

Have you even tried anything from the S5 range?

The American Dream



Pizza takeaway or indeed any sort of pizza is by far my favourite food to consume. I'd eat it for breakfast (cold pizza mmmmm), lunch and dinner if I could get away with it and it wouldn't make me the size of a house. So when Dominos got in touch offering me a voucher and a party pack to help celebrate the fact they've just launched two new pizzas, The New York Deli and The Carolina - very aptly named the American Legends. I was very much on board with the idea. It just so happened the party idea coincided with the fact it was my boyfriends birthday so we had a mini celebration in the garden. My dad and I got into the spirit of things and decorated the garden with all the bits and bobs - I was very much impressed by the sheer quantity of products and garden ended up looking pretty snazzy.

So down to the most important thing which was how the pizza tasted. We plumped for the New York Deli as I'm not a fan of mustard nor BBQ sauce on a pizza. The frankfurters, ground beef, ham, onions and crispy onions went down a treat. It had just the right of meat on it without being overpowering and the base was a dominos perfection. I'm not much of a fan of deep pan to be honest and dominos in my opinion has the right amount of dough. I find the thicker the dough the more greasy thus making you feel fuller quicker. I'm all about shoving as much pizza in my gob as possible. No Dominos order is complete without the garlic pizza bread - it's what dreams are made off! I may have picked the biggest piece of the bunch...

Thanks so much to Dominos for the pizza party - it made a Tuesday night much more exciting than usual.
