At the end of August I'm off to Lanzarote on Holiday for a week (woo!!), but unfortunately that means I can't post, unless I scheduele. Rather than schedueling I thought maybe it would be nice for my followers to do some guest posts, allowing you guys to both find some new blogs to read or maybe gain some new readers for your own blog!

The plan is to have a guest post every day for the week, meaning I have 7 spaces!

If you'd like to get involved email me at lucycole97@gmail.com with your blog and your post idea, it can be anything from an OOTD, to a wishlist or review! Remember I'm a Fashion, Style and Beauty blog, so if you have something that fits that catergory, get in contact! We can exchange a few emails and I will ask you to send me the HTML of your post so I can scheduele it on my blog!

I'm not sure how many people will want to get involved but obviously if I have more than 7 I will have to turn some down! :(

Hopefully some of you are interested, so I hope to be recieiving some emails soon!!

Trainers Envy

VANS // ADIDAS GAZELLE // NIKE BLAZER // PUMA CLASSIC // NIKE SATIRE // NIKE AIR

Recently I've been stocking up on clothes for when I start Sixth Form in September. I've been after a pair of low top trainers for a while because I find all my jeans, although skinny, are still baggy at the ankle and just look awful with my high top nike blazers and converse. I'm pretty sure my skinny jeans will be on me for 90% of the winter so I'm justifying treating myself on some trainers for that very reason. I adore the Nike air's, they remind me of the typical 'chav' but I can't help but love the look of them, especially with the mom jeans. I also thought these Vans were so cool, I can never resist a bit of galaxy/nebula print, although at the moment I'm feeling a bit more classic, either the Adidas Gazelles or Puma Classics, probably both in black. What do you think?

American Dream

TEE & SCRUNCHIE - PRIMARK // BELT - DADS // SHORTS* - OASAP // SHOES - OFFICE

I feel so damn American in this outfit. I wanted one of these baseball style tee's for a while and found this beauty in Primark for £6 which is perfect considering I probably wont wear it next year. You could also get away with wearing it as an oversized tee/dress if you wore a black bodycon dress underneath because it is pretty long. I went for a more vintage vibe by adding my OASAP oversized shorts, my dads old belt and a scrunchie.These photo's were so hard to take, the sun was popping in and out every second and it just wasn't going right for me. Thankfully I found a few half-ok ones.

We own the night

TOP - H&M // SHORTS - ASOS // BAG - ALIXPRESS // SHOES - OFFICE

Finally I have a tripod!! I've had a play around with these Portrait photos, let me know what you think of them. Do I keep with the portrait photos or landscape photos? Also, do you prefer only one or two photos or a few more like this one? Let me know please!!

This outfit was what I wore last Monday, I went with a few friends to the park just to soak up some sun! I have finally photographed my Levi Shorts I got in the sale last year. I've worn these SO many times this summer and just haven't got round to picturing them. I love the patchwork on the pockets, they're high waisted which I always want in a pair of shorts, and they safely cover up the bum. They're my ideal shorts and I'm pretty sure I'll continue wearing them until I no longer fit! I love this vest, the lace is so cute but I wish I got a size bigger as it's a bit tight to put on, I wouldn't wear it with anything not high waisted either because it's fairly cropped, but not cropped enough to be a crop top.. if that makes sense?

We seem to have a theme here... food. A lot of it.. Not much has happened this week, we've got two new little fluffy things in our family for two weeks as we're looking after my mums friends dogs while she's away. That's three cavalier king charles running around the place!! I made the most gorgeous brownies a few weeks ago and I'm still not sure whether to post a recipe on them? I don't know if it would be a good move seeing as this is a fashion and beauty blog after all, not a food one! Let me know what you think.
