Beauty: Pregnancy Facial

So, another baby on the way and a three year old running around... doesn't leave much time for the afternoon slumbers I had in my previous pregnancy. This week I found 5 minutes to myself and decided to book a much needed facial. My skin this time around is much more problematic. The pregnancy glow I experienced with my daughter, is just not happening. 

I went along, on high recommendation, to Seven in Ripley and I'm so glad I did. I was warmly welcomed and accommodated (arriving early and seen early). After entering a tranquil room with candles and soothing music, I laid down on the most comfortable warm bed. Katie was very attentive, making sure I was completely comfortable throughout.

I had 60 minutes of cleansing, exfoliating, hydrating, stimulating collagen; you name it my face experienced it!! Maybe  one of the nicest facial experiences I've had. I even drifted off to sleep for a few minutes! I left with my face feeling nourished & purified and me feeling relaxed and glowing. I can't wait to go and treat myself again at this hidden gem of Surrey. 

Fashion: Luxe Tee

As soon as the sun begins to shine, I get very excited! This is the UK though...so rather than get too carried away, I ease into Spring by just changing the top half of my outfit. 

Topshop Luxe tee

H & M 

My jeans are my biggest daytime staple, so I just need to transform my top. This luxe tee from Topshop is perfect because its made with a slightly thicker jersey. You can get away with wearing it on its own, with jeans or add a little bit of cool by wearing these comfy H&M shoes. Et voila, cool spring look DONE!

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers day to all you stylish Mummies,

Beauty: Mascara marvel

Wild about beauty Jack Black mascara and eye liner

Mascara is one of those things that once you get a good one you stick to it for as long as you can. However, it eventually clogs up and you buy a new one. Disaster - it has completely changed. The search for the right one begins again.

I have had relationships with mascara that have lasted and lasted and then come to an abrupt end.

My current relationship is with Wild About Beauty's 'Jack Black mascara'. It has been going for 12 months now (which in mascara world is good) and I am now on stick number 3!

What does this tell you? It tells you that its formula has not changed since its launch, that it genuinely does what it says on the tin - it goes on perfectly and leaves lashes long and thick.

The brand is one of my favourites. The co-founder make up artist Kim Jacobs swears that the brush has to have a plop sound - which it really does! 

Why am I talking about this now, because recently I have started wearing mascara on its own. I am normally an eyeliner AND mascara kind of girl, but used alone this mascara really does the job and brightens the eyes. I have never had so many compliments.

Fashion: Fashion fix Friday

Gift Guide: Mothers day...what we're lusting after!

Here at Stylekt11 we thought we would pick out a few pieces we are lusting after to help with your Mothers Day inspiration (or casually leave our blog up for your hubby to find!)

Scarves:
One of our favourite accessories is a scarf - you can use a scarf in so many ways, for fashion, religion, as a coverup on the beach, on a bad hair day you can channel Amy Winehouse and wrap around it your head. The right scarf completes any outfit, but most importantly it serves as such a great gift since they suit everyone, come in many different colours, styles and patterns. Whether you buy an inexpensive one from the supermarket or a silk blended designer piece from the helm of prints that is Liberty, what woman wouldn't want a beautiful scarf for Mother's Day?

Fashion Jewellery
Earrings, the bigger the better! The perfect way to make an outfit pop with the simple insertion of some danglers. Whether your Mum is a hoop, a bright jewelled, or a boho dangler kind of gal…..again, on any budget, fashion jewellery is the perfect way to say I love you Mum!
