FASHION | Cats Eye Sunglasses



Glasses I'm wearing - ASOS Cat Eye Sunglasses With Contrast Highbrow
Mango - CAT-EYE STYLE SUNGLASSES

Ray Ban- Cats

Urban Outfitters - Metal Tipped Cats Eye Sunglasses




The sun is here! Yesterday evening Joe and I went to Hove seafront and had a skateboard, then had a few drinks on the beach. It was bright so I got to wear my cat eye sunglasses! I really love the cat eye look and thought it would be nice to have a change as I usually wear big bug eye sunglasses. The ones I'm wearing are the same as the ones I put in the ASOS £100 Blogger Challenge outfit I put together. I've got a lot of comments about the glasses, and am glad I took the plunge. I wouldn't have had the guts to wear them this time last year but I really am trying to step out of my comfort zone more and more, as I get slimmer. Instead of being the girl with the big baggy black clothes I want to be the girl who wears what ever she wants.

Anyway there are some pictures of me in my glasses and a few other cat eye glasses that I'm eyeing up.

Love Lilla xx

LIFESTYLE | Weekly Portrait #3


I promise one day I will wear make up in my weekly portrait! The sun is out today which is amazing, so hopefully it'll stay that way! Now I need to think about buying a few summer pieces. This week my younger sister is graduating and I am so proud of her so we are having a graduation dinner with a few family members. I'm also going to the Curvy Kate bloggers event this week so I will let you know how that goes! Have a good week :)

Love Lilla xx

LIFESTYLE | Make your garden gorgeous!

Summer has finally arrived (OK, so I'm being extremely optimistic) and we Brits love nothing more than soaking up every last ray of sun outdoors; which means BBQs, trips to the beach and long summer nights spent in pub beer gardens!

There is just something about the long summer nights that makes people want to get together – so this is the perfect time to make sure that your garden is dolled up in time for those summer nights.
The design team at 20six  have come up with three of our favourite outdoor products to ensure that your outdoor area sparkles in the sunshine: 

Maria Leaf Screen

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the Maria leaf screen is made up of a selection of colourful polypropylene ‘leaves’, crocheted together to create a natural looking, decorative screen.

Jerry Lamps

Made from recycled silicone, these colourful lamps will not only light up your outdoor space, but they are virtually indestructible – so you don’t have to worry about them accidentally being dropped, kicked or tipped over while your punters are around.

Flora Chair

When it comes to outdoor furniture, the colour choice is usually brown, silver or black. But if you want to add a spot of colour to your back yard; this colourful armchair – with its continuous back and arm rest representing flower petals – is a perfect piece for any outdoor space.

HAIR | Hair today, different tomorrow

As some of my Twitter followers already know, tonight I am getting Ombre hair. I have been loving the summery feel of the look and the possibility of getting some colourful bits on the ends. Last summer I embarked on 30 days of no heat  and after nearly a year of improving the condition of my hair and growing it out, I feel that it is in good enough condition to dye it.
Where in the past I would have done it myself (hence all the damage in the first place!), my colleague who is a hairdresser will be doing it for me at her home (saving me the crazy salon prices). The photos above are the images I have given her to show the look I want. I will post the finished look over the weekend. Let me know what you think :) Many of these celebrities uses human hair extensions to instantly get the look, for quality human hair extensions, visit: Human Hair Extensions Online.
If you're on Pinterest you can also look at my Hair board.
