chlo.d.manon bardot top how to style uk fashion pretty girly summer style

I threw this outfit together in about five minutes. That isn’t a humble-brag in the slightest, mostly because I’m surprised that I actually managed to throw something together in about five minutes. I was running massively late to catch my train to London, had no outfit planned, had to do my makeup in about five minutes – the epitome of actual-mess-twenty-something-who-needs-to-get-her-life-together. The only solid aspect that I knew would be part of this outfit were the shoes.

Which sort of sums my life up really.

It was also the outfit I wore to the Blogosphere Summer Tea Party, although I didn’t get any shots of it in beautiful London streets from any of my blogging babes I saw throughout the day – opportunity horrifically missed because the weather was far nicer down in the city rather than the oddly-too-bright-overcast we’ve had recently. Thankfully the sun came out enough for me to persuade the sister into venturing out into the wilderness that is our garden – it’s incredibly nature friendly – and get some snaps.

Props to me for finally hitting gold member status on yesstyle finally. Although for an aggregate points system it’s probably not the best thing in existence because whoops for spending money when I’m not actually employed. Whatevs. I picked up this beautiful linen bardot top from there (along with that fab oversized tee I love so much) from the Korean brand Chlo.D.Manon, because it spoke to me on the website, I kept thinking about it, and you know when that happens it generally means that not long after it winds up in your basket and then on its way to you? Yup. It’s perfect as a summer top, light and breezy, looks good tucked into shorts (a la the modelled shots on the website) or a skirt. I adore the tie detailing on the sleeves, and it’s square cut enough that it looks pretty as the bardot style or worn on the shoulders.

Which happens often because as much as the bardot style is wonderful and pretty, with tops the sleeves don’t half migrate back up your arms.

The skirt is an old forever21 style, really pretty and floaty and one of my favourites to pair things with in summer. It’s seen a lot of different combinations since it’s been in my wardrobe, and always gets a lot of compliments. It was part of the more ‘boho inspired’ lines when it was available, so if you’re testing those style waters without fully committing to the boho trend, a skirt might be the way to go to add a little bit of that to your wardrobe while still getting a lot of wear for your pennies.

Any sort of shoes that look like ballet shoes and I’m likely to really really want them. Unfortunately I’m not anywhere near close to getting a Vivienne Westwood pair of Rocking Horse shoes, but eBay options are there to see if I’ll wear things or not. I got these last year and absolutely love them, plus they’re wearing really well for eBay/China buys. With the rocking nature – the base of the heel is cut out – they can be a little tricky to walk in at times, but they a fun shoe to have.

#협찬 Using the right sunscreen for your skin ty #협찬 Using the right sunscreen for your skin type is *drum roll* actually very important -- and I'm not just talking about SPF levels for different skin tones. 

Choosing the right sunscreen helps to avoid irritation, breakouts, and makes you more likely to apply it regularly, which gives your skin the best chance at avoiding things like melanoma (skin cancer) and premature aging. 

Determining your skin type >>
For me, finding my skin type was super easy. S E N S I T I V E. I'm horrifically eczema prone (have a whole series on my blog about this), and lean towards a routine that is simple but hydrating, staying away from too many actives. It's the reason I take forever to put up skincare reviews, because I have to check for reactions, or develop contact dermatitis from different ingredients. 

BUT - that's not all. See, I lean towards Sensitive-dry, which is why my skin care, and my sun care, focuses more on hydrating products. 

What determines your skin type? How much oil (sebum) your skin produces daily. 

Dry >> 
Does your skin feel tight? Less elastic?  Does it become rough or flaky easily? Dehydrated? Not a lot of shine in your T-zone? Then your skin type is probably dry. 

Oily >>
Do you get really shiny during the day? (Especially in your t-zone) Do you suffer from (manageable*) breakouts, blackheads and/or whiteheads? Then your skin type is probably oily. 

Normal >> 
Is your skin neither oily throughout the day, and doesn't feel dry, or tight, or often irritated? Your pores aren't too noticeable, and you rarely have breakouts? Then your skin is probably normal! Lucky you :) 

Combination >>
Are you oily in your t-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dry or normal skin on your cheeks? Then you have combination skin <3. It's a little harder to care for, because you're often trying to battle with contrasting products 
(my tip: you're gonna want a sunscreen that's suitable for 'all skin types' ;))

So, now you know more about skin types, scroll through for my picks for each, and my current favourite sun screen <3 

Let me know your skin type AND your current sun screen in the comments below, and don't forget to #applysunscreenaddprotection <3

#협찬 Q: what’s the most important skincare s #협찬  Q: what’s the most important skincare step?
Fii’s answer: SUNSCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!! 

This is a question i get asked quite a bit, and my answer has been the same for ages. The step in my skincare I absolutely never skip is: sunscreen. 

So I’m really excited to be taking part in @wishtrend ‘s #ASAPchallenge: #applysunscreenaddprotection 😊 This challenge is to help build the habit of applying sunscreen DAILY for 5 weeks. It takes 28 days to form a habit.. so let’s do this together ^^ 

There are some great perks for wishtrend users for taking part with me too! For everyone who posts content during this challenge, you get 1,000 wishtrend points and 3 promo codes to pick up your favourite wishtrend products 😊 And!! we get to protect our skin from sun damage and early signs of aging 😚

what do you say? 
Also what’s your ‘never skip’ skincare step?

this cute (deceptively large) place is @for_tourists_dotori_garden by Anguk station, and i had a great afternoon enjoying the atmosphere with great company and great baked goods and i’m not at all noting the aesthetics for my own future cafe 🤭

꿀팁 - if you search 분좋카 on instagram then you’ll find a bunch of very aesthetic cafes around seoul that all have a great atmosphere (분•위기 좋•은 카•페 = 분좋카) ❤️❤️

{ #ad #협찬 #gifted } Vegan skincare is on the r { #ad #협찬 #gifted }
Vegan skincare is on the rise, and I received these beautiful Vegan Lip Butters from @melixirskincare_kr ❤️
Melixir is vegan, sustainable, and cruelty free, that has a range of products that are great for sensitive skin like mine :) 

I’m absolutely loving the easy wearability of “04 Dewy Rose”, and the agave infused formula is great for my lips (guess who doesn’t drink enough water…). 

“05 Red Velvet” is a buildable red, that isn’t too harsh or bright for those days you want a little colour, but don’t want to faff about with lip liners ❤️

📌 you can find melixir products at Amazon (worldwide), or if you’re in Korea, Olive Young and Melixir’s website ❤️

What’s your favourite lip product these days?

#협찬 #광고 skincare for glowing skin when yo #협찬 #광고  skincare for glowing skin when you don’t have time for extensive routines? i’m loving the @klairs.global fundamental line :) 

named because it’s formulated to take care of your skin’s fundamental needs, this is a great line to reach for when you’re busy, or just need something simple to satisfy your skin. 

cream: 
the fundamental water gel cream is super light weight for easy absorption into the skin. it’s packed with green tea for vitamin e, antioxidants and calming, which with the way my eczema has been recently i def need.

mist: 
the fundamental ampule mist os a great product to have to top up when your skin is feeling dry, or as layered with 7 skins. it’s got so many nutrients to make your skin feel refreshed and hydrated. 

eye cream
i’m always a bit hmm over eye creams that don’t have actives (like retinol or derivatives) but i’ve been reading about the benefits of using peptides for the under-eye area specifically and i’m not saying the results are magic, but i’ve seen an improvement when i’ve been using peptide formulated products in that area. so. jury is still out but i’m not mad. 
#the formula of this cream is also super thick and creamy so it feels really nourishing 😇🫶 

overall it’s been a great experience so far, and it’s definitely made me remember why i liked klairs products way back when i started blogging ❤️
