AD - GIFTED| Are you a major fan of the matching loungewear co-ord sets? Then this post is for you!

SPRING CLOTHES

Now the warmer weather is definitely on its way, lockdown restrictions are constantly being lifted and we can finally go out and socialise with friends, everyone will be looking for outfit inspiration that would make a change from loungewear sets we've been wearing at home. However, loungewear is a must-have essential on spring days, as the weather can easily shift between cool and warm in such a short space of time, it's good to be prepared with wearing something that is suitable for both temperatures.

CASUAL COORDS

FemmeLuxe loungewear has definitely been some of my favourite matching sets to wear throughout lockdown, and on those days where I just want a simple, easy and effortless outfit to throw on and go. Loungewear is so versatile, dressed up or dressed down, there's so many ways to wear it, and still look stylish yet comfy. Loungewear is such a wardrobe staple, all year round. Hoodies, sweatshirts, crop tops, joggers and leggings are all perfect items for everyday wear when you're putting together a super casual outfit.
FEMMELUXE CHOCOLATE BROWN TRACKSUIT
Chocolate brown was definitely the colour of the autumn/winter season, and it's definitely something that's here to stay throughout the springtime. This Oversized Chocolate Loungewear set* simply screams comfort! You can't go wrong with an oversized sweat and some joggers for the perfect casual everyday outfit. On this occasion, I've gone for something slightly different as I would never usually go for this colour, but I'm extremely glad that I did. I find browns super flattering for all skin tones and this tracksuit set is the perfect outfit when you want something easy to through on.

FEMMELUXE CREAM TRACKSUIT SET
To add some neutral tones to my wardrobe, I picked up a Cream Oversized Hoodie & Jogger set*. This loungewear set has a relaxed fit, making it extremely comfortable and perfect for layering underneath or over the top. Cream is a great colour for those who love a neutral colour them in their clothing, as you can pair it with pretty much any colour and it will match perfectly.

FEMMELUXE GREY RIBBED LOUNGE SET
To switch up my loungewear style, this Grey Ribbed Loungewear Set* is the perfect addition to my wardrobe. This loungewear set has more of a slim fit to it, helping to flatter the body, and is a change from wearing big, baggy lounge sets. Grey is an extremely versatile colour so you can pair this with so many things for a cute outfit. I would simply through on an oversized puffer jacket for an everyday outfit.

FEMMELUXE BLUE SLOGAN CASUAL SET
To help inject some colour into my spring wardrobe, I've opted for another loungewear set in this absolutely stunning pale blue colour. This Slogan Oversized Loungewear Set* is super relaxed and very comfortable. This set is really unique and different compared to the ones already featured in this post. The slogan back is a really cool added detail, and the bold text really makes it stand out and get noticed.

So whether you're looking for some spring outfit inspo, WFH clothing or are simply on the hunt for some comfy and super affordable loungewear, I hope this post has given you that much needed inspiration. I know I definitely want to fill my wardrobe with loads more loungewear sets. You can never have too many! FemmeLuxe is a great online place to shop. Super affordable, a huge variety of clothing, good quality and fast delivery, what more could you ask for?

AD - GIFTED | 2020 has been the year of loungewear. The global pandemic has seen many of us in lockdown and staying at home. We've all ditched the jeans and tight clothing in favour for something more comfortable and relaxed. Everybody has been going loungewear crazy over the last few months, and there's no doubt about it that it's been super popular, and it's definitely here to stay for the foreseeable future. Whether you're working from home, Netflixing and chill, popping to the shops or just want something cosy and cute to wear, loungewear is definitely your best friend, and you definitely need to get stocked up!

 Loungewear is so versatile, dressed up or dressed down, there's so many ways to wear it, and still look stylish yet comfy. If you saw my Lockdown Loungewear Lookbook, you'll know I'm a huge fan of joggers - especially from FemmeLuxe! Joggers are stylish, super comfy, and flattering for all ages and all body types. They are the ULTIMATE chill, cosy day essential when it comes to clothing. I've put together 4 different outfits to show different ways that I would style joggers for some simple but casual Autumn/Winter everyday looks.

Loungewear Outfits

1. Slogan Tees & Joggers

Firstly, I've paired some dark green cuffed joggers* with a simple slogan tee. Slogan tees are a wardrobe MUST HAVE. The colour of these joggers just screams Autumn/Winter to me. During the colder months of the year, I definitely gravitate towards more dark, earthy tones to add to my wardrobe, and these khaki joggers seemed like the perfect addition. Featuring an elasticated waist with a hidden drawstring, you can really cinch these joggers in to give you a bit of shape, as the oversized legs might be a bit much for you. To complete the outfit, I would style it with either an oversized leather jacket or an aviator style coat, and some chunky trainers or boots, for a more edgy outfit.

Loungewear Outfits

2. Long Sleeve T Shirt & Joggers

These light blue cuffed joggers* are just the cutest. The colour is simply unreal, a beautiful light blue/green shade which is unlike any other pair of joggers in my current collection. Colder weather means we ditch the short sleeves in favour of long sleeve tops. These joggers also feature a drawstring waist, which is perfect for when you want to tuck tops in. Paired with a borg style teddy coat and some trainers would make the cutest, casual outfit.

Loungewear Outfits

3. Hoodie & Joggers

This is the ultimate comfort outfit. There's honestly nothing better than a cute and casual matching loungewear set. This outfit is the perfect off-duty look for everyday wear. A cute Co-Ord just make you feel more 'put together' and looks like you made more of an effort than you actually have. If i were to wear this outside, then I would team it with an oversized puffer jacket and a pair of chunky trainers for a simple, stylish outfit. You could even style it with a chunky necklace and a baseball cap if you wish to accessorize. If you don't have a grey oversized/crop hoodie and a pair of grey cuffed joggers* then you're really missing out! 

Loungewear Outfits

4. Bodysuit & Joggers

These cream fleece front pocket joggers* are unlike anything I've seen before. The front pockets are so big - imagine how many snacks you could fit in those! Anyway, teaming a bodysuit with joggers is basically the perfect combination. The top half is tucked in and you know it won't be rolling up and ruining the look. To make this outfit more appropriate for the colder weather, I would pair it with an oversized shacket - ultimate cosy vibes - and some trainers or even some chunky boots, for a simple everyday look. 

Whether you're looking for a new Lounge Set, cosy joggers, or just some pieces to revamp your wardrobe with, FemmeLuxe is a great place to shop. Super affordable, a huge variety of clothing, great quality and fast delivery, what more could you want?

AD - GIFTED | Living in joggers ATM? Me too! I've ditched the jeans in favour for joggers, sweatshirts, hoodies and leggings. Of course, loungewear is more popular and more available than ever, now that we are again being advised to spend more time at home in light of coronavirus pandemic. And, with many of us working from home or furloughed, it's important we're all as comfortable as possible during such uncertain times, as well as keeping warm during the colder months of the year. For me, loungewear is the epitome of comfort; you can still feel cute, casual and comfy, whilst looking super stylish and put together. Loungewear might be basic, but it's definitely not boring! There's so many cute styles and sets available, you'll be wanting something in every colour and your wardrobe will be filling up in no time at all!

I was recently kindly gifted some pieces from FemmeLuxe, and wanted to share some lockdown loungewear pieces with you and how I have styled them. Joggers and lounge sets are this seasons essentials, whether you dress them up or down, they are super versatile and some comfy pieces you defo need. If you're looking for a pair of new joggers or a loungewear set, you'll want to keep reading this post as you may just find what you've been after!
Loungewear Outfit Inspo
Outfit 1 - You can never go wrong with a black outfit. Black clothing is definitely my favourite to wear and this combo is the perfect 'fit for everyone. Featuring an elasticated waist with a hidden drawstring and a cuffed hem, these joggers are super comfy and flattering. I've teamed up these black oversized joggers* with a slogan sweatshirt for the perfect everyday look. I sized up in these lounge joggers, so they would be super oversized and comfy. This outfit is perfect for both inside and outside, so whether you're popping to the shops, chilling in bed watching Netflix or even doing an at home workout, this is what you need!

Grey Tie Dye Oversized Sweatshirt Loungewear Set FemmeLuxe
Outfit 2 - Is there anything cuter than a matching co-ord lounge set? If tie dye and oversized is your vibe, then you're gonna need to get your hands on this asap! This grey tie dye loungewear set* is so soft and slightly more fitted to the body, you could even wear these as a pyjama set. You could even wear this out of the house too! Simply pair with an oversized black puffer coat and some chunky trainers, and you're good to go!

Tan Cuffed Joggers FemmeLuxe
Outfit 3 - For this outfit, I kept things quite neutral and styled the outfit around similar colour tones. Nudes and browns are everywhere these days, and definitely some of the top colours of the autumn/winter season. I've teamed a simple nude sleeveless bodysuit with some tan oversized joggers*, for that casual off-duty look. To add some warmth to the outfit, I've paired it with a neutral checked shacket which are super on-trend right now, and perfect for those slightly warmer, autumnal days when you don't need a super warm coat.

Stone High Waisted Seam Cuffed Joggers FemmeLuxe
Outfit 4 - Again, another simple outfit. You can't go wrong with an oversized sweat and some joggers for the perfect WFH outfit.. On this occasion, I've gone for something slightly different. These high waisted joggers* have a seam running down them, which just adds some interested to the outfit, and helps to elongate the legs. A simple slogan sweat is a must have, and this green colour is absolutely gorgeous! Team this with a pair of slippers for at home, or a gorgeous, thick teddy coat and trainers for when you're popping out.

So whether you're looking for some WFH outfit inspo, or are simply on the hunt for some casual, comfy and super affordable loungewear, I hope this post has given you that much needed inspiration. I know I definitely want to fill my wardrobe with loads more joggers and sets. You can never have too many!

AD - GIFTED | Now that it's coming up to Winter and the colder months of the year, my pyjamas and loungewear collection seems to build up and takes up my entire wardrobe. I just can't resist the cosiness and warmness of new pyjamas/loungewear and I'm always finding myself buying new sets as they are all I seem to live in (when I'm not at work at least). I was kindly sent a matching loungewear set* from Hunkemöller, a new brand that I have recently discovered and I am in totally in love! 

Hunkemöller Loungewear

Hunkemöller; a clothing manufacturer from the Netherlands founded in 1886. With over 800 stores worldwide, as well as an online store, Hunkemöller offers a huge selection of lingerie, shapewear, nightwear, swimwear, sports clothing, hosiery and ladies accessories.

I opted for the Fleece Long Sleeved Sweater* and Lace-Up Pyjama Pants* for my loungewear set. I got them both in a size large as I wanted them to be slightly oversized and baggy for the perfect fit. Colour wise, isn't grey and pink just the most perfect and cutest colour combination you can have? I think so!

Hunkemöller loungewear

 I was extremely pleased with the loungewear set I received. The Fleece Long Sleeved Sweater* is one of the comfiest and warmest tops I have ever worn. The colour combination of the light grey and baby pink is so cute and girly, I absolutely love it. The mix of textures on the sweater is really fun and cool, the main part is just normal sweater material, combined with the super soft faux fur panel details on the chest and arms adds extra warmth. Simply ideal for relaxing on cold, winter evenings.


The grey Lace-Up Pyjama Pants* are so super soft, warm and cosy, I haven't taken them off! They are fleece lined inside and feature an elasticated waist, deep pockets, with a nice lace-up detail on the front. As well as having cuffs on the bottom of the legs; these 100% my favourite kind of joggers!

Have you heard of Hunkemöller before? Where do you usually get your nightwear/loungewear sets from?

AD - GIFTED | When it comes to online shopping and styling outfits, I always pick pieces that I know I will be comfortable in, but still look cute and like I made an effort. Whilst browsing the Femme Luxe website, I managed to find 4 items of clothing that I would wear for when I need a casual and comfortable outfit for the day ahead. I've chosen pieces that I feel are must-have wardrobe essentials, that would suit all sizes and shapes. 

Whether you're lounging about at home, popping to the shop, out with the girls or even heading to the airport, I think I've put together 4 super casual yet super stylish outfits.

Long sleeve sweatshirt dress
Black Digits Printed Slogan Oversized T-Shirt Dress - Adele* 

Everyone loves a good T Shirt Dress. They are the perfect outfit go-to when you don't really know what to wear. Dressed up with heels. Dressed down with trainers. It's the perfect centrepiece for any casual and comfortable outfit. Pair with some simple accessories and you're good to go. I've opted to add a belt to help add some shape to the outfit and really cinch it in towards my waist, as without it I think it's slightly too baggy for me and doesn't flatter the body too much. In terms of footwear, I would wear some classic old skool vans to tie in the monochrome colour scheme, which I think just make this look more sporty and stylish. Just a perfect everyday outfit that's super quick and easy, and you still look great.

Oversized printed hoodie
Black Gold Lip Print Hoodie - Kasia *

I am all about comfort. Sometimes way little too much. I love loungewear; joggers, t-shirts and hoodies are my go-to when I'm chilling at home. An Oversized Hoodie screams 100% comfort. The perfect clothing item for when you want to ditch the tight clothes and just want to be cosy and lounge around the house. Teamed up with some cycle shorts, leggings, joggers or jeans, as well as a good pair of chunky trainers and you have a super casual outfit for when you just need to pop to the shops or even the perfect airport outfit. A great off duty look for the girl that loves comfort over style.

Navy Shirt Dress
Navy Rolled Sleeves Shirt Dress - Noa*

An item of clothing for that perfect smart casual look is a simple Shirt Dress. Another wardrobe must-have that can also be dressed up or down, and you still look like you made an effort with your outfit choice. Shirt dresses are made for day-to-day dressing, they are so versatile in terms of styling, as they suit all body types, shapes and sizes. I picked out the Navy Shirt Dress which I think is a colour that would suit all skin tones, and is also a very classic and more formal colour. The shirt dress comes with a material belt that helps draw in your waist to help accentuate your figure and really bring you in at your smallest point. I would definitely team this dress with some trainers for a more casual daytime outfit or a pair of heels if you're going out for the night, depending on the look you are going for. It's the perfect dress for your next date night as well. Super cute yet super classy sophisticated.

Khaki loungewear tracksuit set
Khaki Loungewear Tracksuit Set*

Finally, you can't get anymore casual with a simple Loungewear Set. Loungewear is the perfect choice for when you want to be cosy and comfortable at home. A super relaxed slim fit style but still looking cute, what more could you want? I probably wouldn't wear this Femme Luxe set out of the house, I'll just keep it for my pyjama collection. Thrown on with some cute slippers or fluffy sliders and you got the perfect chilling outfit.

Overall, I was really impressed with both the sizing and the quality of the pieces I picked from the Femme Luxe site. I think my favourite outfit would definitely be the Oversized T Shirt Dress. It's probably the easiest and most comfortable outfit I have put together and it still looks like you made a huge effort with your outfit. You can dress it up or dress it down, making it such a versatile piece for your wardrobe, whether you need a daytime or evening outfit.

AD - GIFTED | When it comes to fashion, Autumn/Winter clothing is definitely my favourite. Think coats and jackets, leather trousers, check shirts, hoodies and cosy jumpers. You name it, I've probably got it! In this post, I've put together 3 simple yet stylish outfits that will carry you through the rest of the year, with the main item of clothing from KATCH ME's winter range. So if you're in the need for some Autumn/Winter inspo, look no further!

Autumn/Winter Casual Outfits

You can never have too many coats and jackets. Puffer coats, shackets, leather jackets and denim jackets, all Autumn/Winter wardrobe essentials, and pieces you can wear year after year as they never go out of style. I picked up this Blue Oversized Distressed Denim Jacket* that I think is the perfect addition to any autumn outfit, especially on those warmer days where you don't need such a heavy, thick coat. This denim jacket is the perfect piece to team with an all black outfit for that pop of colour.

Autumn/Winter Casual Outfits

Secondly, leather trousers and leather leggings. A MUST HAVE! PU and faux leather are perfect for any occasion, and a great way to take outfits from day to night. I opted for some Black Faux Leather High Waist Slim Fit Trousers* as these are super versatile when styling, and can be teamed with anything to make an effortless outfit. Think bodysuits, checked shirts, oversized jumpers, cropped tees and blazers, the outfit inspo is endless!

Autumn/Winter Casual Outfits

Finally, loungewear. Autumn/Winter clothing is all about comfort, and loungewear is the perfect addition to any wardrobe. Think oversized hoodies and cosy joggers, you wouldn't want anything else to chill in, and still look super stylish. A Grey Oversized Hoodie* is what I've teamed with some black jeans, a pair of trainers and an oversized puffer jacket for a casual everyday outfit.

Hello lovelies! Hope you are all well!
A while back now, I asked on Twitter is anyone would be interested in seeing my guide to a pamper evening, and I've just got round to writing it up now.

From time to time, we all have those long, miserable days where we've been stressed, whether it be from work, school, college/uni or just general life problems. Now and again, I think its important to make ourselves feel better and give yourself a little pamper to perk us up! A little "me time" is definitely in order as a way to de-stress, relax and refresh ourselves.

I've devised my 10 tips for My Guide to The Perfect Pamper, so lets get started!
1. Run a Nice, Relaxing Hot Bath
This is probably the best way to relax and take a time out from life! With a few luxurious bath products, some gorgeous scented candles and some dimmed lights, this creates the perfect calm and relaxing atmosphere.
I love using the Radox Bubble Baths! They have some absolutely gorgeous scents and all help to make you feel calm and relaxed!

2. Remove your Make Up
Removing your make up after a long day is a must! This allows you to remove all the dirt and grime you skin has had to deal with and puts the day behind you. Its also important to cleanse and refresh your skin, and give it a little boost!
I generally remove my make up with the L'oreal Micellar Water and the L'oreal Cleansing & Perfecting Milk.

3. Use a Hair Mask
We all want soft, silky and healthy hair, and using hair masks is a great way to help achieve this. There are so many different hair masks on sale, each doing a different thing, each smelling differently and each specifically for certain hair types, so this is something that EVERYONE can do! Using a hair mask once or twice a week gives your hair a luxurious condition and helps make it healthier and stronger! 
Hair Masks that I've been loving include the Naked Rescue Repairing Hair Treatment, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle and THIS ONE Hair Replenishment Mask.

4. Apply a Face Mask
I absolutely love using face masks! They help to improve the appearance and feeling on the skin and helps to remove all the dirt, impurities and extra oils. Again these come in all sorts of variations from gel masks to clay masks etc, all different scents and all different skin types. 
I've been loving the Una Brennan Tea Flower Clay Mask and the Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask.

5. Cosy Loungewear
I think that cosy loungewear is a must for a pamper evening! We all want time to relax and de-stress, and some cosy pyjamas or a onesie is the perfect attire! These just allow you to be warm and comfortable and enjoy the evening ahead!

6. Paint your Nails
This is pretty much an optional step in a pamper session, but its one that can make you feel happy and make you feel good. Painting your nails can be quite time consuming, but when you have an evening to relax, this is the perfect task to carry out when wanting to relax and be calm!

7. Grab a Nice Drink
Enjoying one of your favourite drinks is the perfect way to relax and feel comforted! Whether it be a cheeky glass of wine, a warm drink or whatever tickles your fancy, having something you like is a great way to feel relaxed and is a perfect way to feel pampered.

8. Treat Yourself
Whether its doing some online shopping, ordering your favourite meal from the takeaway or indulging in your favourite food and drinks, treating yourself after a long and stressful day is the perfect way to make you feel better!

9. Skin Care Routine
Having a continuous skin care routine is the best way to keep your skin looking great and healthy! This is perfect for refreshing yourself and revitalising your skin. Maybe for a perfect pamper evening, try choosing a product you wouldn't normally use or buy, to give your skin that extra boost of hydration and moisture!

10. Cosy up in Bed
The best way to end a perfect pamper is to cosy up in a nice, freshly made, warm bed! This is by far the best way to feel relaxed, comfortable and to end the day. Whether you like to read a book, watch a film, write up a blog post or just generally browse the internet, this allows you to settle down and create a nice atmosphere ready to sleep. Maybe lighting a few scented candles, having some comfy cushions and a super soft blanket throw is the perfect way to feel cosy and warm!

So these are my Top 10 tips to the perfect pamper evening! Obviously these don't all have to be used when you need a little pick-me-up, but including a few of these after a long, stressful day is the perfect way to make you feel better and to cheer yourself up!

What are your tips to the perfect pamper evening? What products do you use when pampering yourself?

AD - GIFTED | How long has it been since you've had a relaxing pamper night? Especially with the current lockdown and everything going on in the world, it's extremely important to take a step back and enjoy some time to yourself, and there's nothing better than a self care pamper evening. Obviously one of the most relaxing and unwinding things to do is have a nice hot bath/shower, but there are a few other steps you can take for the ultimate pamper. So treat yourself today by checking my list of self-care tips to get inspired.

winter drugstore skincare

1. First things first, skincare. Is there anything better than taking your makeup off after a long day, and just feeling extremely refreshed and revitalized. I like to use a hot cloth cleanser to take off any makeup, as its extremely gentle on the eyes for those who wear mascara, eyeliner or eyeshadow. I would then opt for a facial exfoliator, or a face wash with my cleansing brush, for a deeper clean, even followed up by a face mask for that super skin detox. This leaves my skin feeling super soft and smooth. Finishing up with any products that I would use in my skincare routine, depending on my current skin needs. During the winter time, I'm ALL about hydration and getting that skin glow. Moisturising creams, serums, oils are winter essentials, and don't forget that lip balm!

winter haircare

2. Next up, haircare. Washing, drying and styling your hair can seem like such a chore, but applying a luxurious hair mask beforehand makes it so much more worthwhile. Hair masks that make my hair silky, smooth and shiny are my absolute must haves, as well as leaving my hair smelling delicious. I make sure to brush my hair thoroughly before applying my hair mask, and make sure each strand is covered from root to tip, and leave it to get to work for as long as possible, sometimes even overnight! I've also recently added the OGX Kukui Oil duo and The Hair Boss Overnight Serum to my haircare routine, and my hair has never looked better. So soft, nourished and super shiny.

3. After having a nice warm, relaxing bath/shower, it's a must have to put on some super cosy and comfy loungewear/pyjamas. Oversized is a must have as there is nothing worse than tight, uncomfortable clothing. I recently posted some super comfy loungewear finds from FemmeLuxe - think oversized joggers and cute matching co-ords!

4. Creating a cosy environment is an essential part of making your evening super relaxing and calm. Make sure to be lighting some candles, grabbing all the fluffy blankets and cushions, you could even hang up some cute fairy lights. Having a cosy environment around you can help to de-stress and give you a break from your daily routine.

organic india teas

5. Something that I've been including recently in my pamper routine is making a warm, relaxing drink. I've really been enjoying the Organic India Teas* and found these to really help destress and unwind during the colder evenings. My favourite is definitely the Tulsi Pomegranate Green Tea*. Infused with Pomegranate and Hibiscus flowers and the tangy flavour of Raspberries is a delightful combination and the perfect drink to have in the evenings. Tulsi is a great addition as it rich in antioxidants and can help to boost your immune system. The Organic India Teas are extremely relaxing, warming and delicious, and a must try for those who love green tea or even if you want a break from the usual coffee, tea or hot chocolate!

6. One part of your self care evening should be treating yourself to your favourite foods and drinks. There's nothing more comforting than ordering/making your favourite dishes, followed with a glass of your favourite drink to lift your spirits. There's so many great choices, whether you're a lover of pasta, pizza, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, the options are never ending, and there is always food to fit your mood.

7. Finally, get comfy and sit back and watch your favourite films/series. Whether you pick something from Netflix, Disney+, YouTube or just something on the TV, it's the perfect way to spend the rest of your evening. I'm currently watching Orange Is The New Black, and I'm hooked!

AD - GIFTED | Are you looking for the simplest yet stylish casual outfits that you can wear on an everyday basis? If so, you'll love these outfit ideas I've put together from FemmeLuxe!

Choosing an outfit for any occasion is the last thing you want to spend hours doing and wasting your time worrying about. For me, the best and easiest way to make putting your outfit together is to pick one item and style the entire outfit around that item. Knowing that you have a collection of staple pieces in your wardrobe that you can pair together for any occasion is a must have, and makes putting together outfits that little bit easier. 

I was recently kindly gifted some pieces from FemmeLuxe, and wanted to share some essential wardrobe clothing items that everyone needs to help create some simple casual outfits and how I have styled them with other items I already have in my clothing collection for everyday wear.

womens everyday casual outfit styling maxi cardigan

For my first outfit, I've put together a very simple, effortless look that can be easily taken from day to night. Throughout autumn/winter I've been a huge fan of leather look/faux leather trousers and jeans, and have seen myself reaching for them more over normal black denim jeans. However, the real star of the show for me in this first outfit is the long stone maxi cardigan*. This is something that I've wanted to add into my wardrobe for a while but haven't quite found the perfect one, until now. The nude coloured cardigan fits into my wardrobe pretty well, it's a super versatile colour that will go with many outfit options. Knitted cardigans are the perfect piece to complete a simple outfit, for when you don't want to wear a heavy, thick coat. I know it'll come in handy during the warmer spring and summer days, when you need a light cover up for the cooler evenings.

womens everyday casual outfit styling black tracksuit

If a two piece tracksuit isn't the epitome of casual clothing, then I don't know what is. Especially whilst being on furlough, loungewear has been my absolute go-to daily attire, simply for its comfort, but still looking cute and put together. This black loungewear set*, featuring a simple oversized crew neck sweatshirt and black cuffed joggers, both have a relaxed fit, making it very comfortable to wear all day long. I like the fact this two pieces comes as a set, but obviously you can wear each piece individually with other items in your wardrobe. An all black outfit is a definite winner from me anyway!

womens everyday casual outfit styling grey joggers

Joggers are an essential wardrobe staple for me, especially during the current climate with the coronavirus pandemic. They are an item of that everyone probably has in their wardrobes, and are extremely versatile when it comes to incorporating and styling them in an outfit. Grey high waisted joggers* are an essential with me, you can style them with various bodysuits, crop tops, t shirts and sweaters for the ultimate chill look. I was drawn to picking these joggers as I felt the ruffled paper bag style waist just added that extra detail and interest to a plain pair of joggers.

womens everyday casual outfit styling black faux leather trousers

Finally, outfit number 4, another all black outfit. This time, something a little more smart and dressed up, but still suitable for an everyday, casual look. If you hadn't guessed by now, I love an all black outfit. I find them to be so effortless, stylish and flattering on any body shape and size. I think mixing materials and textures within an outfit really helps bring it together and make it stand out, which is what I've done here. A simple cotton high neck bodysuit paired with some faux leather high waisted joggers* is a match made in heaven. A running theme throughout these outfits has been some chunky black trainers, and I also think these are a must have shoe.

So whether you're looking for some outfit inspo, or are simply on the hunt for some new sites to purchase some new clothing items, I hope this post has given you that much needed inspiration. I know I definitely want to fill my wardrobe with loads more stylish and versatile casual pieces. You can never have too many!

The first lingerie set I picked up was the Pretty Polly Lola Push Up Plunge Bra* and matching Cheeky Shorty*, in this gorgeous deep Dark Red colour. When it comes to lingerie, red is definitely one of the sexiest and boldest colours you can go for, and it is something that definitely suits every skin tone. The bra features some of the most beautiful floral lace pattern I have ever seen. The addition of the silver Pretty Polly initials is such a cute touch, without being over the top.

Next up is something a little more seductive and daring, the Mapale Lace Plunge Body* in Black. This is a truly stunning lingerie piece. It's sexy in every single way possible! The bodysuit includes a V shape Plunge front that is super flattering on any body shape. With gorgeous floral lace designs on the front and fishnet panels up the side and all over the back, it's simply stunning.

The final set I chose was the classic Lepel Fiore Padded Plunge Bra* and matching Thong* in this gorgeous Midnight Navy Blue. This stunning bra has such a beautiful scalloped trim with a plunge front, which helps give it the most flattering fit possible. The soft, pretty lace is delightful, along with lace up ribbon features on both the bra and thong! Such little details, but they make the lingerie set look so luxurious and sophisticated. With a super comfy fit and affordable price, this set is such a classic piece for everyday wear.

Overall I'm extremely happy with the pieces I was kindly gifted. Finding styles that fit and flatter the body can be very hard, but I'm totally in love with what I have chosen. The lingerie fits so perfectly, they are super comfortable and just make you feel extremely good about yourself when you wear them. Whether you opt for a basic style or decide to totally go all out, your lingerie collection will never look so good.

What is your favourite piece from my haul? Where do you buy your lingerie from?
