In the first weekly edit, I'm talking all things pink. It seems to be the colour of SS17, and that excites me greatly!
You don't have to be a small child or Elle Woods to wear pink - there are various different shades that work for everyone. I would team this pink cashmere jumper by Hush with a pair of boyfriend jeans and loafers for a casual look.
That Zara suit? If you feel brave enough to wear it as a 2-piece, it would be a great alternative to a dress for a wedding or special Occassion you have lined up this summer. Or, team the blazer over a pair of jeans or tea dress for a more laid back look.
Embrace some colour in your wardrobe - I'll be doing exactly the same!
2017 is fast becoming the year of US beauty brands launching in the UK, and I am totally fine with that! First we had the news that Glossier will be available on these shores soon (not sure in what capacity, but as soon as I know, I'll report back) and now It Cosmetics have launched their products here.
If you follow me on Instagram and are able to sit through my ramblings on Instagram stories, you may have seen I picked up the Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ and the Bye Bye Under Eye Illumination Concealer whilst I was over in Sydney at the beginning of the year.
I've only been using them for a couple of months, and even then not every day. But, I have to say I like what I've seen so far.
The It Cosmetics Your Skin but Better CC+ cream gives you full coverage - don't be put off by the thickness of the formula; as it can be thinned out with a damp Beautyblender if you're not wanting full coverage.
What I love about it is that it seems to melt into your skin and instantly make you look good! The finish is glowy without making you look like you've been doing a bout of hot yoga (a.k.a sweaty). I've also found that it lasts really well, and haven't had the need to do a touch-up halfway through the day.
It also has SPF 50+ UVA/UVB broad-spectrum physical sunscreen in the formula - perfect for those sunny days!
My only negative thoughts are the packaging. Bearing in mind this is pretty pricey (around £30) I think it looks fairly cheap looking in it's tube - a tad drugstore over luxury, but that's my opinion and as long as the product does what it says (which it does!) then it's all good.
Here's the science part from the It Cosmetics team
Clinically shown to give you 179% of skin hydration, smooth skin texture and enhance skin brightness, this breakthrough color-correcting cream never creases or cracks and instantly camouflages skin imperfections including dark spots. Plus, it’s infused with an advanced anti-aging serum made of hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and vitamins A, B, C and E that work in harmony to diffuse the look of wrinkles, minimize pores and give you a more radiant, supple and flawless-looking complexion.
It Cosmetics UK Launch Info
As of yesterday, you can now buy the brands products online here. There will also be a pop up in Selfridges, London from the 8th June for 2 weeks with a permanent counter launching on the 26th.
See you there!
Just over 90 minutes away, along the coast from Brighton sits the town of Rye, and is where I spent a couple of days late last year with the husband.
From the cobbled streets, independent boutiques, antique shops and tea rooms with windows full of cakes, Rye is such a quaint little town full of history and very old buildings.
Easy to get to from London via train, you also have Camber Sands and Dungeness nearby for further exploring.
Food
Lunch was from Webbe's at the the fish cafe, which sources all their produce locally, and dinner was at The Union which was highly recommended by the staff at our hotel.
There are a fair few restaurants dotted all over the town and nearby that came highly recommended by people and I can't wait for our next visit so we can try some out.

Hotel
We booked a couple of nights at The George in Rye, which is on the main high street in the town. With the comfiest of beds, REN products in the bathroom and Espresso Martini's on room service, my husband basically had to carry me out screaming when we left.
Their food was delicious (highly recommend the salted caramel soufflé and french toast, FYI) and we spent quite a lot of time hanging out in front of their big fire playing board games and drinking tea whilst it rained heavily outside.
Knoops
I think we all know by now, that I love a hot chocolate. Give me a mug of the stuff over coffee ANY day. Which is why Knoops had to have a little mention on here.
The menu is dedicated exclusively to hot chocolates. There's a variety of chocolate to choose from for your base, and then you can jazz it up with extra flavours in the form of spice, fruit or even a herb.
To top it off, they offer homemade vanilla marshmallows.
After two sips, I was on a chocolate high.
The perfect destination if you want to escape the craziness of city life.
The backless shoe is a huge trend this season. Loafers, mules, kitten heels and flats - you name it, they're backless. I'm starting to dip my toe (no pun intended) in to this trend, and I have to admit, I'm loving it!
Here are my favourite styles from the high street
