Style Update: M&S Spring Summer Fashion

You guys have been reading FFG long enough now to know that when it comes to High Street love, I have my favourites. And when it comes to summer looks, this season we are spoiled - in particular with what's happening at Marks & Spencer. I've teamed up with M&S this summer to showcase five of my favourite looks in celebration of the season and I'm pretty much head over heels with every piece I selected from the collection. From beachwear (sorry folks, I'm not actually showcasing myself in a bikini on the site... never have, never will) to nights out in the summer sunshine, there's a little something for everyone here. Remember to have fun with fashion this summer, ladies. Pair stripes with patterns, leather with lace... let your imaginations run wild and have fun. And remember...

Summer Stripes

SHOP THE POST: // JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content. Nautical is a trend I've always been happy see fade into the background. It comes around every year and really has been well and truely done. I genuinely was surprised that it it's actually one of the few trends that hasnt come back around this year. Although, get me being so alternative and off beat by wearing something sailor inspired. In classic LLYMLRS style I picked up this White Pepper dress a couple of months ago and I've been wearing it on and off since. The thing I like about the White Pepper is that their dresses normally speak for themselves. They don't need accessorising or fancy things added to them, they just look cute, cool and fuss free. My little bag is from...

Whats actually in my bag

Zoe did this tag recently and told me that I had to do it. So I turned my camera on there and then and filmed exactly what was in my bag at that second of time. No editing, no bullshit. Just the collection of bits and bobs, receipts and food packets and all. So if you wanted to see what I actually keep in my bag which hasn't been heavily swayed to make me look like some organised Bag God then head over to my channel and give it a watch! Remember to give it a thumbs up if you liked it and subscribe to my channel if you havent already! Like me On Facebook - Follow me on Twitter - Follow on Bloglovin' ...

FFG Eats: Crab Tavern, Broadgate Circle, London

If it seems like I'm spending a lot of time in the City of London these days, it's because I am. I have no plans of packing in the blog and making a go at life as a woman in finance, but it does appear that restaurants these days are targeting this audience specifically. Every new opening I've been to in the last six weeks has taken place with the bankers' square mile. Restauranteurs are not unintelligent people. They don't have to say "show me the money" - it's pretty much easily on display. The new hot spot in the city, however, exists in one semicircle - Broadgate Circle. Built at the foot of the Swiss bank, UBS, this circle is home to newly opened bars and restaurants that can't seem to find enough physical seats to entertain everyone interested. And the scene was no different for the...

London Life: The Ralph Lauren and Vogue Wimbledon Summer Cocktail Party

When it comes to extreme travel plans, I'm trying to keep things real these days. The less the better. But, I think you all know when it comes to Ralph Lauren, I'd happily travel on planes, trains and automobiles to get to any event honoring the brand. Hence the reason I found myself back in London for 24 hours on Monday night - to celebrate 10 years of Ralph Lauren bringing extreme style to the Wimbledon tennis tournament.  On Sunday evening I boarded a red eye to London from New York and arrived a little worse for wear. I was saved, however, by the lovely folks over at super salon Paul Edmonds, as I nearly fell out of my chair for lack of sleep the night before. Yeah, yeah, I know - first world problems. These folks put me right again and for that I am eternally grateful (check out...

Social Media Envy

As people and mainly young women on the internet I think it’s safe to say we all suffer from a bit of social media jealously/envy/anxiety whatever you want to call it. I personally do think envy is a natural an healthy trait to have as long as it doesn’t destroy or consume you. Admittedly I barely go a day without using at least one social media network. Social media has become such a big part of out lives, the way we share details about ourselves and in turn the way we view the people around us. It’s highly unlikely that someone is going to share their electric bill on instagram or vlog themselves having argument with their partner. I estimate about 100% of people purely use social media to share the best parts of their life. I know I do. And I think that’s okay. Just remember that 80%...

Brb, Holiday Time!

SHOP THE LOOK // JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content. So if you're a long time reader of my blog you'll know that me and my family go on holiday to the same hotel every year without fail. I didn't go last year as I decided to have a summer pursuing my own life rather than doing a thing with them. However this year I decided to just go ahead, join everyone and go again. It's only me, my brother, Step Dad and my Mum, so not a whole crew of us (I have a big family) so it should be pretty stress-free and easy going. We're off to Turkey, which is looking to be a super hot, relaxing break. Im totally booking myself in for a Turkish Spa treatment as soon as I get there and then taking up residence right next to the pool to catch some serious...

Hair: How to get sweeping waves

A few months ago you may remember I teamed up with Babyliss and Paul Percival to introduce a sleek look for the hair for fashion week. Well, we just happened to pull together another look and one that couldn't be more opposite to the original. We went from pin straight to big and bouncy with curls and Paul taught me more than a few lessons in the process. For example - do you know the difference between makes waves and curls with your tongs? Prepare to have your mind blown... ...
