My Favourite Shops To Buy Rings In 2019

OOTD: Summer Holiday Outfits

 It's almost Father's Day time again, the time when you need to work out what in the world your dad wants. I'm lucky/unlucky depending on how you look at it, that my dads Birthday is the week before Father's Day as that makes it easier for me to choose gifts for both, as everything in the shops is 'Father related'. Hopefully, this gift guide will serve you well and you find something that will be suitable. If not you can check out my Amazon Father's Day Gift Guide I did last year.

*Items marked with a * were gifted to me for the purpose of this post. All opinions are, of course, my own.

First things first: the cards! I like to find fun, original cards to give when I'm buying for anyone. I use Moonpig quite a bit but failing that I try to use various places, as I get tired of the same old in supermarkets like Tesco etc as they have the same selection every year.

   First up, we have these Ladybird Books for Grown-ups from Danilo. The inside covers have some funny little extracts from the books and they are quite an old school relatable subjects which may bring back great memories.

 Next up, if your Father or Grandad have ever been into Only Fools And Horses then these will be the perfect cards for them. One of them comes with a coaster on the front. It's like a little extra gift! They do many more licensed cards so it's definitely worth checking out.

If you are looking for original, hilarious 'inappropriate' cards from a Yorkshire, small, family brand then Love Layla Designs is the one for you. They have a huge range of cards that are funny, rude, daring and inclusive cards to choose from. My favourite is definitely the "Put wood in't hole" one which is what my dad will be receiving this year.

Skincare

If your Father is a beardy man then BRISK Grooming Skincare is a great idea for him! With various types of products ranging from Moisturiser to Beard Balm, there will be a product for him. BRISK is available to buy from Morrisons, Boots & Waitrose.

Another type of skincare you could go for is the Black Leopard. They are an Australian brand that has recently launched in the UK and I have actually mentioned them before in my Valentine's Day Gift Guide this year. If you want to know more about them then definitely check it out.

Food & Drink

Alcohol is always a good shout when it comes to a gift, but if your dad happens to be cutting down on drinking, or just wants to try something a bit different then why not get him some Alcohol-free IPA from Brutal Brewing?  It has 0% alcohol but still happens to have a great classic beer taste.

 Want something that is fun and completely different? These super cool biscuit tins from Biscuiteers may be the right gift for you. They have some awesome options from the BBQ Dad to the Garden Lover Dad and even the Car Lover Dad. And if you don't want a full tin, there are separate options available.

 Personalised Gifts

 I've been loving personalised gifts recently. I love including them on these gift guides, as well as buying them for family & friends and matching the gifts to their personality. My dad, for example, is a beer drinker so this beer tankard will be perfect for him. I kept it pretty simple and put Happy Father's Day DAD, Enjoy Your Beer! Lots of Love, Lucy & Sam. This was from thepersonalisedgiftshop.co.uk and comes with a gorgeous display box. Their options for personalising your gifts are very easy to follow and they have a huge range available.

 Not only is my dad a beer drinker, but he is also a big coffee drinker so a mug is always a good idea. This mug is another personalised gift from The Personalised Gift Shop and is a photo mug. You can choose 2 photos, one for the front and one for the back. I chose a photo of me and my Dad and one of my Brother and my Dad. You can also personalise the text on each one. I just chose a simple Dad for each side.

How cool is this wrapping paper from Pretty Gifted? You can totally personalise this how you want. You can choose a paper colour, font, text foil colour, any message up to 60 characters plus you can choose the font size and an icon to have between each line. I went for the classic Happy Father's Day text and played with some various other options.  It shows a preview of your chosen things so that you can easily see what it looks like and if you are stuck for cool pairings you can check out the inspiration page. Each order also comes with free delivery, luxury gift tags & a gel pen.

 This bottle from Root7 is the perfect thing to carry around with you throughout the day. Whether you want to up your water intake or take your coffee on the go, this bottle has got you. Keeps drinks cold for 30 hours and hot for 20. Plus it's in this really awesome polished steel colour variety (they do have more options if you are looking for something more colourful).

Last but certainly not least is the official England cricket book. This is a must-have for any England Cricket fan out there. With player profiles, world cup history, team analysis and more it's the perfect way to get up-to-date on all things England Cricket related before the Cricket World Cup which is hosted in England this year.

How many of you have a graduation coming up very soon? Well, you are in luck as today's post is all about graduation dresses. I will be showing you a selection of dresses that I received from PrettyLittleThing, and will be telling you what I think about them.

PrettyLittleThing has a huge selection of items available in their graduation collection and I picked my 6 favourite dresses out. So let's get straight into it.

 PLT / Black Velvet Draped Wrap Detail Bandeau Maxi Dress*

First up we have this gorgeous black velvet dress. It is floor length and has a long slit up the slide. All the way up in fact, so if you aren't as confident you could wear some safety shorts underneath like I generally do with most skirts and dresses. It has a low cut and is strapless, this stays held up by the boning in the top half. This gave me a great shape and I felt all sucked in but I personally would add straps to this as I don't generally feel comfortable in strapless dresses, it's probably just my lack of boobs meaning there is nothing to hold anything up. I would pair this with a nice pair of black strappy heels and a statement silver necklace to finish the look. 

 PLT / Mustard Lace Bardot Wrap Midi Dress*

Next up, we have this beautiful yellow lace dress. The colour is so striking and really stands out. I love the shape of this dress and it hugs me perfectly. I believe the sleeves are meant to be off-the-shoulder but, again, because of my lack of chest the front part kept falling down when I had the sleeves off-shoulder. I combatted this by putting the sleeves on my shoulder so everything stayed in place and I think it definitely still looks good this way, better in my opinion. This dress is a little bit sheer so stay away from black underwear (nude underwear works perfectly) other than that I love it. This yellow dress could also be paired with a statement necklace, maybe in gold to make the outfit really pop.

PLT / Dusty Pink Floral Print Frill Detail Midi Dress*

For my third piece, I have this stunning floral ruffle dress. It's in a lovely shade of dusty pink and has roses printed on it. I'm in love with this one. I'd say looks wise this is probably my favourite. I love the big statement shoulder ruffle details and it also has a belt to bring in your waist. This can be removed but I chose to keep it tied at the back like it came. I think for this dress I could have sized up as it was just the slightest bit too tight but overall I felt very classy and sophisticated wearing it. A pair of dusty pink strappy heels would work well paired with this one.

PLT / Bright Blue Satin Puff Sleeve Bow Detail Bodycon Dress*

This next dress is definitely the shortest of the bunch and is in the form of this blue satin piece. I love the sleeve and chest details on this one as they seem to be what is on trend right now if Instagram is anything to do by. I do feel again this dress was made for bustier ladies or straight sized in mind as the bottom half hugged me perfectly but there was a lot of extra space in the chest area. I do feel it did cling a little bit too much for my liking on my stomach, but overall I still really liked it. I think this one would look good with a little silver choker to finish the look. 

 PLT / Sage Green Printed Long Sleeve Wrap Dress*

The fifth dress is definitely my favourite in terms of how comfortable I feel in it. It is this green floral wrap style dress that is a shorter piece. The neckline plunges down in a slightly ruched style and is a really pretty detail, but personally, I would wear a bralette or vest underneath for my own comfort level. The waist area is looser than the previous dresses but I would potentially wear a belt with it to bring it in more. I think I might even wear this dress to an evening meal I have planned this week.

PLT / Lilac Satin Trim Detail Bardot Bodycon Dress*

Last but certainly not least, we have this lovely lilac satin dress. This one is similar to the blue dress in that it hugs just slightly too tightly on my stomach so I should probably size up on this one. Also if you look, the entire skirt area is see-through on those lines which means you can see my underwear. When I come to wear this dress I will definitely put on a little nude slip underneath to avoid any underwear embarrassments. Again it's off-the-shoulder but I felt a lot more secure in this one as it didn't feel like it was slipping down at all. I would probably again pair this with a silver choker necklace and a silver pair of strappy heels.

So, which of these 6 dresses were your favourite? Let me know in the comments below, also let me know if you have a graduation coming up and what you will be wearing and while you are here why not check out some of my other fashion-related posts?

OOTD: Summer Holiday Outfits

We all know I'm a ring lover and that I own a fair few, we are talking over 150 rings here! So today I'm going to be talking about various places to buy rings that are my favourites for 2019. I shop for rings on tons of websites so hopefully, there is something here for everyone.

Firstly I have to start with Shop Dixi. If you have been following me for a long time you will know I have been a longtime fan of this brand and own a lot of their jewellery pieces. They do a lot of gothic/boho style rings that are very unique and are great talking points. They mostly do sterling silver rings that stack really well.

Next up we have Forever 21. If you are shopping on a budget then Forever 21 is a great place to get stacking ring sets as they include assorted rings in small-big sets so effectively you are getting more for your money and will have a bigger choice of rings to pair together.

A really popular place to buy rings from is Pandora, every Christmas I see queues out of the door at every Pandora store, and rightly so as their collection features so many gorgeous rings. They do a lot of classic style rings which include dainty rings and also statement pieces. Each one is an investment piece and they make great gifts.

If you are looking for something completely different, why not check out Rogue + Wolf? Their collection is mostly black, gothic style rings that have very witchy and enchanting vibes. They are 3D printed and are definitely the most unique style of rings I have ever come across. If you like the shapes but aren't so keen on the fact that they are black, they also have a collection of silver, steel rings.

Last, but certainly not least we have Not On The Highstreet. They have a huge collection of rings all from various designers that are not as well known as some of these bigger brands I have mentioned, because of the many designers they definitely have something for everyone and all occasions. They even have sections with personalised pieces which always makes a great gift.
