What I Wore | Foxy

 (dress - ASOS, jacket - New Look, leggings - Primark, boots - Choies)

This is the most amazing smock dress ever, I just love the print on it! It was originally from ASOS and it's just gorgeous. Here I wore it with my aviator jacket from New Look, some tights and my Choies cut out boots. It's a very simple outfit but with such a beautiful print, I don't think there's much else to do really. What do you think? x

Footwear | Metal Buckle Cut Out Boots

Choies Metal Buckle Cut Out Boots £77.99

You would have already seen these boots all over the internet, in blogs and whatnot because who doesn't own a pair? They're a dupe for the Balenciaga Ceinture Ankle Boots which I first saw on Rumi Neely about a year ago. My sister also started sporting a similar pair about the same time but I decided not to get a pair until a few months ago. Again, these have been all over the high street but most of them were very chunky so I opted for the Choies ones which by the way are still available today. Not as cheap as the New Look and River Island ones but it's made of real leather and they're so comfy, I think it's worth every penny! Although I've worn these a good amount of times over winter, I will most definitely still be sporting them over spring and summer with shorts and dresses. How about you, do you own a pair of buckled cut out boots?

Lush Bombardino Bath Bomb

 Lush Bombardino Bath Bomb

I don't often go for baths as I am more of a shower girl but ever since I've gotten into beauty, I've become more and more open to the idea of it. That plus a bunch of bath goodies from my sister and voilĂ  I'm converted! The stuff she got me were all from the Christmas collection and I've only just gotten around to using them. Most of these will no longer be available but they often have equivalents in their permanent range and who knows they might bring out the same stuff again this year? 

First off, can we just appreciate how cute this little thing is, it's impossible not to smile when you look at him! On the Lush website Bombardino is describe as: "This little fellow takes his inspiration from an apres ski drink traditionally made in the Italian Alps with eggnog, brandy and whipped cream. Our version of the Bombardino is just as rich and creamy, smelling like a lemon meringue pie. With added cocoa butter to soften your bath water, Bombardino will leave your skin feeling silky and soothed."

Once I dropped this in the bath, I noticed it wasn't as fizzy as I thought it would be probably because I have had it for a while or because I expected too much from my very first Lush bath bomb. Regardless, it isn't the most exciting bath bomb out there as it pretty much just turned the water yellow. It definitely smelt good, as most Lush products do, but it was more on the sweet side with a hint of citrus. I agree with its claims of leaving your skin feeling silky and soothed, however once you get out the bath, you're left with shimmer/fine glitter all over your body which really bugged me. The shimmer pretty much stuck to my skin and whatever I touched for a good few hours. The other problem I had was that this stained the bath pretty badly, so I had to try and scrub it off instead of just relaxing once I've finished. So yea, overall I'd say it's an okay bath bomb, good in some ways but it's not for me just because of the shimmer it leaves on the skin and the hassle you have to go through after using it. Not necessarily wowed but I understand how some may really enjoy this product. Have you tried Bombardino, what's your thoughts? x
