Better Keep Yourself Clean And Bright; You Are The Window Through Which You Must See The World

I do love a beauty product but I'm no expert, and I have to confess that they come (a close) second to clothes (and shoes)

I usually stick with what I know (Dermalogica) and be done with but recently I've dabbled with some new brands and this one, I think, is worth mentioning

Dr Jart

After reading Vivianna's posts (here) about the Dr Jart BB cream I made a mental note to buy the Regenerating formula as soon as I've used up my Stila Stay All Day 10-In-1 HD Beauty Balm (what a mouthful, and btw it isn't much to write home about either)

Anyways, I had run out of cleanser so I decided to see what Dr Jart had to offer...

V7 Cleansing Foam

A creamy foam cleanser that won't dry your skin out

This luxurious foam removes dead skin cells and debris that can dull the complexion

Easy to rinse off

+ Rehydrates environmentally damaged skin

+ Vitamins complex

+ Antioxidant action

Sold to the lady in the skincare aisle

I've only been using it for a week but I'm impressed already. I use the smallest amount to create a good lather and it removes every trace of make up, leaving my face (literally) squeaky clean

Have you tried any of the Dr Jart products? What do you think?

In Essence, I'm A Sophisticated Cotton Picker

The never ending quest for the perfect long sleeve tee may just have, er well, ended for me yayyy

I was actually on the hunt for another trusty old breton stripe but got distracted by Gap's brave and bold offering; The Essential...

And I must agree, that never a truer word has been spoken. These tee's are perfection personified for me. The neckline is spot on, not too high to strangulate and not too low to be worrying about a pasty decolletage. And the soft, lightweight pima cotton isn't too thin, although the white is a little on the see through side *no surprise there then*

There are five colours to choose from; black, white, neon pink, grey and navy. And at £9.95 each I got four of the colours. One point worth mentioning, I found that they do come up a little roomy, not that downsizing is a problem for us girls right? ;) I am a UK 8-10 and found the XS was spot on for me, fitted but not clingy

Here's hoping they wash up well *don't shrink/stretch*

Today I've layered the grey over the white and worn them with spotty skinnies and ankle boots

Have you found your perfect tee?

Sometimes I Wake Up And Think I Should Start Wearing A Beret, But I Don't Do It

A quick outfit of the day post

Top from Whistles, Skirt from Warehouse, Watch from Toywatch, Boots from Bertie

I should have worn a cute ballerina pump to complete my parisian look *a beret would have been a smidgen OTT* but I decided to toughen it up with my trusty biker boots instead. Plus it's too cold for pumps brrr. I'm hoping I've pulled the look off but I could be mistaken for 

Bonnie *and Clyde* does dancing on ice!

Hope you've all had a good day?

Great Love Affairs Start With Champagne And End With Tisane

Yesterday I took the birthday boy to The Grove for afternoon tea

We were shown to our own private room *we're not sure if we just got lucky or because when I booked I had said we were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday* either way, we were happy bunnies :) And of course it would be rude not to take a doggy bag box home ;)

Where's your favourite place for afternoon tea?

Therefore All Seasons Will Be Sweet To Thee

I bought this dress last Autumn but I just love the fact that I can wear it all year round

Aztec Black Midi Tank Dress from Topshop

 I've been wearing it with my leather jacket, black opaque tights and biker boots

But come summer I'm going to wear it with some gladiator style flats, like this

Fable Multi Buckle Sandals from Topshop

Do you have a dress that works all year round?
