Hello you beauties!

It's not very often that I actually write fashion posts as for some reason I tend to focus more on beauty, so I'm trying now to bring more fashion related posts to you all.

Today I want to discuss colour, and what colours I like to wear and what I usually avoid. Everyone always talks about what colours suit certain people and what colours they should avoid, and I always believe it depends on your eye colour, hair colour, skin tone, etc... I don't know if you all believe that too but that's my opinion on it.

Colours I usually tend to avoid are green and yellow. I just don't believe that they are very flattering colours on me. I have blue eyes so I feel like if I ever wear green then it clashes too much and just doesn't look right.

Also, I'm a very pale person so I feel that whenever I wear yellow, especially a light yellow, then it washes me out. Which of course is never very flattering - who wants to look paler than they are!?

However, there are many colours that I love to wear and feel very comfortable and confident wearing. My favourite colour to wear is definitely purple, but that is probably more due to the fact that it is my overall favourite colour and not the fact that it actually looks good on me.

One colour that I especially love wearing is red, because with my blue eyes I just feel like it is very complimentary and also makes me feel confident and empowered.

I also love wearing blue, especially a dark blue because I believe that blue (just like black) is a colour that anyone can wear and not have to worry about. It works with anything but can still brighten up an outfit if you don't want to wear black, or want to wear a black top but do not want a whole black outfit.

What colours do you like/dislike wearing?

I'll be back next week with a new post for you all.
Byeeee!

Hello you beauties!

When the weather is warm, we all know how important it is to dress appropriately but still look great. So I'm here to share with you what I love to wear during the summer days!

1. One thing I love wearing in the summer months are simple short sleeved t-shirts. They can be of any sort. At the moment, I have one t-shirt in particular that I am obsessed with - it is a simple striped t-shirt that I bought from Primark for £3. I am also loving wearing Harry Potter themed t-shirts as I am a massive Potterhead. All simple t-shirts like these are great to wear with a pair of leggings, which brings me onto the next point...

2. Cropped leggings! I rarely wear any other trouser/skirt typed items other than leggings, but sometimes it gets a little bit too warm to wear the full length leggings. So I purchased some leggings that come to just below my knee which I don't find too warm for the hot weather. They're great to wear with anything.

3. Summer dresses! I'm not usually a dress sort of person (for confidence and practicality reasons) but sometimes in the summer I do wear the odd dress here and there. I love wearing very pastel and summery colours like bright blue and pastel red/pink and they're great for a chilled out day with friends and family.

4. Playsuits are my ultimate go-to during the summer months. They're really relaxing to wear but also look super cute and you can even get away with wearing them for a more formal event! I love white and blue playsuits but I also have a pink floral one that I absolutely adore.

5. Anything with floral prints are a must for the summer months. Of course, because I know I see a lot of flowers around once we get into Spring and Summer and these sorts of prints make me feel extremely girly too.

So they're my 5 go-to clothing items for summer this year! Tell me what you like to wear during the summer!

I'll be back on Wednesday with another post for you all (hint: it works well with this post!)!

Hello you beauties!

From the title of this post, you can probably guess that today's post is something a little different from usual. Yes, that's right, I'm finally bringing you all a fashion post!

Just over a week ago, I received a message from Boutique of Molly (www.boutiqueofmolly.com) asking if I would like to blog for them. Of course I said yes! So I ordered my item and it arrived on Wednesday (in its little pink parcel).

This product is priced on the website at £26.95 and then you pay £3.99 for delivery, and I would say this product is definitely worth the money.

Now, I have to say, the product is slightly different that I thought it would be - it does look slightly different on the model than it does in person. However, I still love the product and would see myself wearing it.

The fabric is light meaning that it is great for these warmer days we are experiencing, and the pattern is very grown-up and sophisticated. I would probably wear this for a meal out, though I do plan to wear it to college on day to see if I get any compliments.

My only issue with this product is that it is a tiny bit tighter than I would have liked it to have been. I got the size above my normal size anyway as I usually like a bit of extra room, but I could've done with two sizes bigger. It still fits okay and I'm sure I can make it work one way or another.

The website is so easy to use. Each section is clearly stated, and it is easy to navigate between pages, There are not tons of products on this site but I feel like that made it harder for me to choose what to get - I literally wanted everything!

I will definitely be buying something again from this website. The quality of the clothes is great, the price is reasonable, and the people that work there are just so sweet! I am so happy to be working with them!

Make sure to check their website out: www.boutiqueofmolly.com and let me know if you have bought anything :) Don't forget to tag your #BOMselfie on Twitter and Instagram!

I will be back on Wednesday with another blog post for you all.

Hello you beauties!

My name is Lauren and this is my blog... Instaura, meaning 'Make-up' in the beautiful Latin language.

Within the past couple of years, my interest in make-up and fashion has risen dramatically, and I love writing too, so I thought - why not make a blog!? It'll be fun and I hope that you all enjoy reading this.

I wear drugstore make-up so, whilst my make-up may not be the best, it is certainly affordable for those who are strapped for cash.

I have also started subscribing to beauty boxes so I will be bringing reviews of those every month :) I hope that persuades you to buy one or just give you something interesting to read.

Before I jump straight into my make-up and fashion posts, I will be giving you something to let you get to know me better. So I can be a friend, rather than just someone who writes blog posts behind a computer screen. But these will be the next couple of posts, not this one.

So I hope you will keep reading my posts as I continue to write about what I love, and hopefully what you love too.

Thank you!!
