OOTD: FD. Avenue Racer Back Jersey Maxi Dress In Red

Hi there lovelies. It seems that a lot of you have been out there having fun this weekend due to the gorgeous weather and I hope today that your good times continue today. I have been having a little fun this morning in my garden taking photos of myself for this OOTD post. I was approached by FD. Avenue and asked to choose an item from their fashion website that I would like to review. I chose the FD. Avenue Racer Back Jersey Maxi Dress In Red.

As you can see I got into the cowgirl theme of this look :)

 This gorgeous red dress is a bold yet easy to style piece. I usually have real trouble with wearing maxi dresses as I am between 5ft 2-3. This dress however I am able to wear flats with. The material is 95% viscose and 5% elastane and the length is approx 149cm. I am wearing a size s/m. It is machine washable too.

I like the scoop neck as it comes just low enough shaping nicely around my bust line without showing off my bra. The racer-back is a nice detail for the summer. I wore white underwear under this dress and it did not show through so the material is thick enough not to look or feel cheap, but the dress itself is still lightweight for hot summer days and nights.

This would be perfect for taking you from day to night actually. Flats or wedges would go great with this style and some gold jewellery would make the colour of the dress pop even more. Especially if worn with a tan unlike me :(

This has an elasticated waist which comes up near the bottom of my ribs. I think it's a flattering style that could be worn in many ways for instance with a cardi and flip flops or a kimono and espadrilles.

This dress also comes in shades of Cerise, Navy & Purple. You can purchase this item from FD. Avenue for £24.99 here.

They have some really cool fashion items on their website and with a sale of up to 50% off at the moment I would advise you check them out!

Thank you FD. Avenue for sending this to me for free to review. I will enjoy wearing it this summer :)

Hat ~ Accessorize

Hand/Wrist Jewellery ~ Primark

Jacket ~ H&M

Primark Haul: London

Hey there my loves. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I bought some things in Primark a few weeks ago when I was in London and I haven't yet shown them to you so I thought I would :)

Disco Leggings in Left: Cobalt & Right: Grey ~ £7.00 Each

Now I do love me a disco legging/pant and I probably shouldn't buy anymore, but I can honestly say I love these and I know I will get my wear out of them. I already purchased the black pair here which I wore on a night out a few weeks ago. I really like how they feel on and actually don't mind my legs in them. They don't super suck me in like I imagine the American Apparel ones do, but for £7.00 I really can't fault them. I would like to pick up more of the black if I visit Primark again before they sell out.

Left: Black & Cobalt Baroque Leggings ~ £6.00

Now these I adore. I absolutely love the baroque style of them and the cobalt colour makes them such a statement. These would take a simple top and footwear to a higher place. I find that baroque styles are usually shown in a metallic form on dresses or trousers which is why I think I have never taken to this trend, but these leggings have converted me. I would love it if Primark brought out more colours of these. I can see red, yellow, pink, green and white. I would buy them all.

Right: Black Jewelled Leggings ~ £7.00

I actually bought these in my last Primark haul, but I had to take them back to exchange them as the top of the rubbish Primark bags that garments are put in have a serrated edge which obviously slit across one of the thighs as the assistant put it in. I know these were just £7.00, but I hadn't even worn them so I went back to change them over and here they are. I think they are really fun and will look good with black ankle boots.

Left: Primark Beauty Exfoliating Facial Cleansing Wipes With Cucumber Extract ~ £1.00 for 25 Wipes

I thought these would be worth giving a try as they are so cheap. They smell really fresh as you would expect from the cucumber. I do like to use exfoliating cleansing wipes at the start of my skincare regime to remove make-up and dirt from my face and neck.

Right: Primark Beauty Felt Eye Liner Pen Black ~ £1.50

I used this once the other day and I do love the pigment of it. It starts off as a lighter black, but the more you go over the line the black becomes deeper in shade. This is a very pointed pen liner that bends just a little at the tip. You can either use the tip for a very fine line or draw using more of the tips side for a thicker line. It did not glide onto my eyes when drawing a flick as easily as it did when I swatched it on my hand, but I want to try it again. Great value for the price though.

Opia Gem Cross Hand Jewellery ~ £1.00 (Reduced From £1.50)

I have always fancied picking up one of these hand/wrist jewels. I have no idea what they are called so please excuse me. I like this one as it looks like I will still be able to move and bend my hand comfortably without this annoying me which when I have looked at other ones before they look more rigid. For £1.00 if I don't like it much I won't cry.

So that's it lovelies. I hope you enjoyed this haul. Have you picked up any fantastic buys from Primark or anywhere else you think I might like? Let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all
