Guest Post - Summer Lookbook - Kimberley-xxx

Hello Everybody, It's Kimberley here from Kimberley-xxx . After speaking over Email for a while, me and Beth thought It would be a great Idea to do guest posts on eachothers Blogs. I love the idea of guest posts and I think blogs are a great way for people to meet and discuss beauty or fashion related things. I know if I get excited over a product and tell a friend or my sister etc, they are nowhere near excited as I am, yet I know I can rant to the blogger world, or speak to another blogger and they get the same excitement too! As our topic we chosen, a lookbook sort of idea of what you would wear on a hot summers day and this is what I have chosen.

I love this outfit I have chosen, and actually everything is from New Look. I am a huge fan of New Look, I think near enough all of their products are so good for how inexpensive they are! This dress is a favourite of mine and I actually have one very similar! I also love how denim jackets are dresses look paired together. I would half roll up the sleeves though to show of the bracelets, and maybe a bit of tan (depending if it's even been hot) Here in England its highly unlikely. The main colours that stood out for me in the dress is the orange, I love neutral colours and I feel the orange isn't too overpowered so that's why I picked it as the main colour as you can see from the bag and bracelets.

As you can see from the image, I went for a simple bun. Bun hairstyles have been so big the past year, and I personally love them. You can wear them neatly like the image above for a cleaner look, or you can wear them messy but they still look wearable. I would wrap the flower garland around the bun for a more summery look. For the makeup I have left it quite clean and simple, I really love the topshop makeup and I haven't personally tried the lipsticks but this colour is beautiful. I would also recommend using a BB Cream in the heat and it's alot lighter on the skin and I personally think foundation doesn't last well in the heat so I much rather use a BB Cream. For Nails I have chosen a coral colour by essie which I think is beautiful. I was going to pick a nude, but it's summer, bring out the colours!

I hope you all enjoyed reading this guest post, I had a lot of fun creating it! Check out my blog at http://kimberley-xxx.blogspot.co.uk and also have a read of beths guest post on there too! I hope that me and Beth will do something similar to this in the future because it really was such good fun!
