#OOTDS

Hey guys,

today's post is a catch up on my #ootds lately! If you want to see more of what I'm styling on a daily basis check out my instagram profile: instagram.com/dusk_williams

| DRESS - TOPSHOP | SANDALS - PRIMARK | NECKLACES - FOREVER 21 |

The first outfit was for a particularly sweltering day here in London recently, I picked up this topshop dress at a 'clothes swap party' I held recently and I have actually used it so much! Perfect for this heat! I like to layer dainty necklaces like this to make a plain outfit a bit more interesting.

|TOP - TSESAY | TROUSERS - PRIMARK | SANDALS - OFFICE | NECKLACE - MOROCCO|

Next up is a way of styling my uniform piece from work. I had these old printed primark trousers which come in soo handy when styling an outfit in the Summer, I noticed the green on my work tshirt matched in with the khaki in the print and so this tropical themed outfit was born! 

 |TOP - PRIMARK| TROUSERS - RIVER ISLAND|NECKLACE - PRIMARK|

This is a simple, classic outfit for me.. If I can't decide what to wear that day I'll normally end up in a stripey top and a statement necklace.. this top is the one I recently picked up & featured in my Primark haul last month!

|DRESS - TSESAY| BELT - VINTAGE| SANDALS - PRIMARK|

Here's another uniform piece, this light blue silk dress is sooo lovely & it's great to be able to wear it with bare legs & white accessories, finally!  

|DRESS - TSESAY| BOOTS - PRIMARK|

Again, this denim dress from work is a really nice piece, I am glad to be able to style it in a Summer-y way! I like to wear dresses with bare legs and black boots & socks in the Summer, it makes a nice change from sandals and gives an outfit more of a masculine feel!

|TOP - ZARA | CARDIGAN - TSESAY | JEANS-PRIMARK | SANDALS-PRIMARK|

Another stripey tee combo here ;) haha, I am so chuffed to have picked up these double strap sandals in primark for a mere 5 pounds! I have been lusting after a pair of birkenstocks for a while so I was delighted to see these hanging up waiting for me!!

Well, that's all for now folks, hope you liked my outfits! How's your Summer going? 

LOVEEEEE

Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Sea

Hey guys!

Last week Will & I spent a splendid day at Lyme Regis seaside, there's not much better then salty fish & chips sitting on the beach followed by delicious salted caramel ice cream!! After filling up on tasty food we wandered around the town, we particularly like the antique market on the seafront, although we didn't find much this time around, I did come home with a rather dashing pair of pastel coloured shells- a nice keepsake that I have now placed in amongst my jewelry so that it looks like a mermaids loot! We managed to avoid the rain all day too! A day very well spent! 

I think the pastel coloured beach huts & details around Lyme Regis are part of what makes it such a charming place :)

Will climbing about on the rocks!

My #OOTD

My outfit was VERY Primark heavy this day, this is the kind of outfit I like to wear during the British Spring time, florals with simple black basics.

Top, Skirt, Boots - Primark

Necklace - Forever 21

Mmmmm, I'm alllll about them FISH'N'CHIPS! I wish I had them right now!

Well, that's all for now folks. I hope you liked this picture heavy postcard from the lovely seaside town of Lyme Regis, I had a perfect day there :)

We're All Going To The Zoo

Hey guys,

this past Saturday I was lucky enough to spend the day at London Zoo with some of (there are a fair few of us in all!) my wonderful family, and 'rain or shine' we were determined to have fun :). I thought I would share some pics of my day & the outfit I wore! I always have loved the zoo! One of my clearest memories is driving past London Zoo in our old campervan and my dad pointing out the tops of the Giraffes' heads popping out above the fence!

DRESS & BOOTS - PRIMARK, SHIRT - H&M, SUNGLASSES - ANTHRO, COAT - VINTAGE 

Well that's all for now folks! Hope you liked all my silly animal pics and my #ootd & of course I hope you enjoyed this post!

Chanel Cruise 2015

Hey guys,

As the Chanel Cruise 2015 collection just hit the catwalk and I loved it (obviously..I am, like most others, a loyal Chanel lover.. not owner though haha) I thought I'd just post a few of my favourite looks from the beautiful show, I was most entranced by the colourful prints and the little crescent moon tiaras.....

What a dreamy collection again Mr L, big thumbs up and dreams of tiaras & sequins from me...

Hope you liked this post, What did you think of the new collection?

LOVEEEEEEEEE

Little April Favourites

Hey guys!

Today's post is all my favourite things from the month of April! This month has been very Spring-like, it has involved: splatterings of Spring showers & sunshine, blossom falling, sandal shopping, new floral scents, lighter evenings & lots of chocolate eating! 

My random favourite of the month is this book which was a gift from my boyfriend! I am a massive fan of Wes Anderson, I love the style aesthetic and themes of his films, so this book was the perfect choice for me. I highly recommend it, its got some great background stories from the films & some fantastic illustrations. As you may notice I have based the images on a 'Wes Anderson' theme throughout this post, you may also spot some of the adorable illustrations as the backgrounds to some of the following photos!

 My lipstick favourite of the month is 'See Sheer' by MAC. It is a nice peachy red which (as suggested by the name) has a nice sheer tint rather than full colour.. its a perfect lipstick to wear on a warm spring afternoon with a summer dress or a casual outfit :).

My favourite fashion piece of the month is this vintage belt, I bought this a long while ago in a charity shop and I have rekindled my love for it this season! It is reversible so it can be worn as a dove grey belt or a white belt, it also has both gold and silver in the buckle making it my most versatile accessory!

My scent favourite is a more recent purchase but is definitely an instant favourite - The Orla Kiely perfume! I found my bottle in none other than the trusty TK maxx and bought it without even sniffing it! Luckily its lovely, floral and fruity but not too sweet - the perfect spring scent!

I hope you liked this post, as you may be able to tell I am working on my blog presentation a little bit so I hope you like the new style too! How was your April? Have you got any particular recommendations?

LOVEEEEEEEEE

A Selection of Outfits

Hey Guys,

Today's post is a selection of outfits I have worn over the last month or so. I have been edging towards warmer weather dressing but still haven't delved into the bare legs genre yet (It'll take more than 'slightly sunny' England is offering at the moment to get to that point methinks). However, I have been adding more pastel colours & lighter fabrics to the mix, which is very welcome..I am delighted to finally pack away the heavy knit jumpers and bulky winter coats till October!

 Suzy Bishop

 I wore this dress as soon as it arrived, I was so pleased to receive it! It's the 'suzy' dress from vintagestyle.me and I think its ADORBALE. It's perfect for spring & so totally Suzy (Suzy Bishop from Mooonrise Kingdom - if you haven't seen it yet...just....just go watch it now ok?) And yes I do dress like I'm 12 occasionally..

Dress - Vintage Style Me

Tights & boots - Primark

YeeHa!

Next up is this gorgeous shirt/cardigan hybrid I picked up from Collectif in the sale. I love Collectif but find I can only really excuse buying clothes in there in the sale! This shirt is so perfectly cowgirl-esque and I have a little obsession with cowboys so it is my new favourite thing!

Shirt - Collectif 

Jeans & brogues - Primark

Sunglasses - Anthropologie 

Leather Jacket - Miss Selfridge

Florals for Spring - Groundbreaking

I got this vintage floral midi skirt at a vintage market in Dorset. It came as part of an 80's co-ord which is so diviiiiiiiiiiiine and I can't wait to wear the set when the sun comes out! But, for now I shall suffice styling the lovely flowy skirt with black accessories. Get ready to see a whole lot more of this skirt through the Spring & Summer!

Skirt - Vintage

Top, Shoes - Primark

60's Mini

 This skirt was another bargain picked up (by my dear Mama) in the River Island sale... River Island is SOO hit or miss, sometimes I go in there and hate all the over the top patterned embellishment and sometimes I go in and lust after every last thing! Anyway, this skirt is like my 1960's DREAM, I have paired it with black again as the sun was yet to rear its head..however, I'm unsure my pins are nice enough to wear such a mini skirt without tights anyway!!

Keeping it Casual

Last of all is this 'casual' 'everyday' type outfit, I have this jersey drapey tee for uniform from work and its super cosy - it also has a zip up the back so it can be worn the other way around as a cardigan! What a dream! I've paired it with my normal black skinny jeans, black chelsea boots combo!

I hope you liked this post, leave your instagram names down below for a follow so we can snoop at each others OOTDS asap! :)

March Favourites

Hey guys, 

A belated favorites list of what I loved throughout march: 

Lush 'No Drought' Dry Shampoo

Starting with 'No Drought' dry shampoo from lush, this is a godsend!! I don't really get particularly greasy hair (I know - I'm a lucky girl!) but on the second or third day after washing my hair tends to flatten out at the top - particularly because my hair is quite thick and heavy so it gets weighed down. I tried this powder dry shampoo from lush and found it brings texture and volume back into my roots without looking white or too dry - perfect for last minute dash out the door pick-me-ups! (Plus its only 3.75 for a little pot!)

Lush 'R&B' Hair Moisturiser

Next, also from lush, is this hair cream. I love this spicy citrus-y smelling cream to keep my frizzy ends at bay - I avoid putting it near the scalp despite what the tub says! The cream smooths out dry hair and leaves it soft, shiny and smelling delicious - seriously, most of the time I just use this as hair perfume!! 

Maybelline - baby lips in 'Punch'

On days when I feel groggy or having been working long and hard and just CAN'T BE BOTHERED (preach,sister) , I love the maybelline baby lips balms - this one is in Punch and it leaves a nice pop of pink on the pout  but also feels really smooth and nice.

Sleek Contour Kit in Medium

I have gone back to this old favourite recently! After my MAC mineralize skin finish powder broke me out (not a happy Dusk at all) I love the matt ashy contour colour which doesn't leave any orangeness on the face and the middle colour is a lovely shimmery highlight 

Real Techniques Contour Brush

And, to contour with I have gone back to using the Real Techniques contour brush, the dense-but-fluffy texture is perfect for blending the ashy brown into my cheekbones, temples and around my nose, leaving a natural look!

Plimsolls

The only fashion favourite this month (sorry!) has been a pair of plain plimsolls (I have white & black). I am not usually a casual shoe wearer but these bad boys have been perfect for days when I am running around London carrying my huge makeup case with me!! Plus I bought them for 4 pounds each at Shoe Zone.. yep that's right, I said it...Shoe Zone..!!!

hope you liked this post, what have you been loving this month? I need some new clothes shop recommendations.. leave your tips in a comment! :) 

LOVEE
