A Blush for Spring/Summer

When the seasons change I like to mix up my make up and try new things. If you have read my blog for a while you may already know how much I love the Clinique cheek pop blush I have. I have the shade 'peach pop' which is as the name suggests a peachy shade. I love 'peach pop' so much and it is my go to blush, so recently when I was thinking about getting a more pinky shade for the spring and summer months I headed straight for the Clinique counter! So this is how I ended up getting 'plum pop'. 

I was a bit worried about it being to dark for my pale skin, but what I love about this blush is that it is so easy to build up the colour, so I don't have to worry about having stripes of pink across my cheeks! Although I still wear 'peach pop', 'plum pop' has now become my go to blush and I think it is the perfect shade for this time of year. So if you also want to mix up your make up for Spring/Summer this is the perfect blush to try! 

What is your favourite blush for Spring/Summer?

Spring Wishlist

1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10

With the weather warming up and it well and truly feeling like Spring, I have been a busy bee by putting together my Spring wishlist! I love Spring time and it is also my favourite season for clothing! There are always so many pretty pieces out at this time of year and I have seen so many beautiful things in the shops at the moment. Of course because of this I have quite a long list of things on my wishlist, however I put together 10 things for a 'mini' Spring wishlist to share with you! 

What is on your Spring wishlist?

Friday Five

Easter blossom wreath I Bunny egg cups I Chalkboard bunny stickers I Personalised decorated jar I Easter biscuits

With Easter on the way what better than to have an Easter inspired Friday Five post! I love Easter time and all the extremely (or should I say 'egg'streamely!) cute things that are out at this time of year! I have been loving scrolling through Not on the Highstreet at all the lovely things they have for Easter and I have put together five of my favourite things - which was quite difficult to do seeing as I love so many of the thongs they have! 

My favourite thing would probably be the very pretty Easter blossom wreath. I think it would really brighten up a room and gives a real spring feel too. My very close second favourite would be the Easter biscuits, they would be the perfect gift or to have to serve to guests and family that come over to visit. 

Which of these is your favourite? What things have you found that have got you excited for Easter?

Favourite Things About Spring

Pastel colours
Pastel colours are my favourite colours! I love it when spring arrives and I can wear lots of pretty pastel clothes, and of course pastel nail polishes (especially pink)! 

Pretty flowers and blossoms 
I think spring flowers are so pretty and it is always so nice to go outside and see pretty flowers. This year my favourites would have to be tulips! I also love seeing all the blossom on the trees.

Better weather 
The weather slowly starts getting better and the days get longer, meaning we see more of the sun! Even though there is still a cold wind and quite often rain, there is still those sunny bright moments and days letting you know that summer is on the way.

Spring makeup
Much like a change up in clothes I like to switch up my makeup. Of course as I have already said I like to wear pretty pink polishes, I also like wearing softer, lighter coloured makeup.

Friday Five

For this Friday five I have put together five shoes for spring. It is always nice to get some pretty new shoes to wear when the weather gets warmer and your feet don't need to be hidden away in warm shoes. 

Calais laser cut heel - Miss Selfridge

These shoes are so pretty. I love the laser cut detailing on them and the little flowers are perfect for spring and summer. Also with the neutral colouring these shoes can be worn with many things.

Cream gem stone two strap sandals - River Island

These gem sandals are perfect for adding that bit of glam to an outfit and with the neutral cream colour these sandals can be worn with plenty of things! These are also great for wearing into the summer months too.

Sandal with edging - Zara

These pink sandals from Zara would be lovely to wear on warmer days in spring and again can be worn into the summer months as well. These are great everyday shoes and the pink can help add a pop of colour.

Jade green heel - Office

These heels would be great for a a more formal occasion or used to dress up a more casual outfit. Maybe not the best shoes for wearing all day, but perfect for heel lovers! 

Mint green pointed slingback pumps - New Look

These mint green pumps are perfect for everyday wear during spring. They could be worn with almost everything, from shorts, jeans, dresses and skirts. They are also a lovely way to add a pop of pastel colour to an outfit.

Which shoes do you have your eye on for spring?
