Fashion: Pregnancy bump dressed up in Piloto

With a wedding to go to and being 7 months pregnant, I found myself in a dilemma! 
The dreaded trawl through various websites and stores to try find something that was chic,and stylish, that would fit my ever increasing bump, and that I could wear again post pregnancy, was I chasing the impossible? 
I have never been a massive lover of maternity wear, although in the 3 years since I had my daughter it's come a long way think Topshop, H&M,and Isabella Oliver. 
Still on this occasion nothing ticked all the boxes so I turned to the ever faithful Net A Porter for some luxe inspiration - Peter Piloto had just launched their "for Target" range and I found this perfect piece for under £100, matched with my skinny black waist belt, my ever faithful mid height black pumps and little clutch and voila!! 
Now I can't wait to wear it again on my holiday (post pregnancy) with these electric blue shoes.

Beauty: Faking it

I don't consider myself an authority on much, but fake tan is absolutely something I know EVERYTHING about. I have been 'faking it' for 20 odd years and have tried every different fake tan product on the market. I have also tried and tested all the recommended exfoliators, mitts and moisturisers that go with the various tanning products available.  


So what do I look for in a fake tan? First and foremost a product that is easy to apply and dries streak free. Next up, a beautiful olive tone, I do not want to look like I've been tangoed. Another must is the smell - I do not want to smell of Digestive biscuits while it 'develops'. Finally, a tan that lasts and doesn't start going patchy when it wears off.


I can honestly say after trying pretty much all of the fake tans out there - Sienna X, St Tropez, Fake Bake etc that Xen Tan is the only one that actually delivers on all of the above. I use the 'Deep Bronze Luxe' colour, but there shades to suit every skin type. Best of all its available at Space NK in Cobham so you don't have to go far to get that perfect golden glow...

Fashion: THE STAPLE - the white shirt

This is the season of the white shirt, and seasonal non trend if you like. We think this is something everyone should have at home. Its versatile, timeless and every year it evolves in a very subtle way, keeping it classic and a safe bet. 

From sleeveless, to feign stripes; boyfriend fit, to slim fit; there is something for everyone. It is the wardrobe essential that will carry you through every season effortlessly.

Fashion: Maxi skirt crush

Here at Stylekt11, there is one item of clothing that we have all had a long term crush on - the maxi skirt. It is just so versatile. Team it with either a loose fit tee or jumper. Won with flats, they are the ultimate in daytime chic, but pop on a pair of heels such as these beauties from Salvatore Ferragamo and its an instant evening outfit.

We are in love with this maxi from Malene Birger. Its fabric, the cut and its colour are all perfect for Spring and would absolutely see you through Summer when teamed with a loose fit vest such as this one from Gap

Clockwise from top: Contrast-back tank, Gap £14.95; Flat sandals, Sam Endelman @ Harvey Nicols £140; Heels,  Salvatore Ferragamo @ mytheresa.com £539; Maxi skirt,  Malene Birger @ net-a-porter £175.
