Psyche Fashion

It's wedding season right now and looking for a dress which is suitable can be an absolute nightmare.  I have spent weeks searching and researching sites online to look for something that I like and want to wear and it comes down to two things. 1 - The dresses I like are only in a size 6 or 2 - The dresses I like are too big and I haven't got the time, strength or energy to have it altered to fit.

One site I did come across in my search is Pysche Fashion, one which immediately had me singing 'Let's get ready to rumble' by Ant and Dec and is actually based in Middlesborough but does sell their clothing world wide through their website and it gets even better, they have a sale on! The sale will start on August 1 and run throughout the month of August. The code is good for 10% off all Sale Items! The only way to get the secret code is to visit the Psyche website via your mobile device (cell phone, tablet, etc.) and it will show up on the homepage! So out the window went shopping for a dress to wear for a wedding. 

If you like your designer labels and the big designers, then Pysche probably has everything you are looking for from Ralph Lauren, Armani, Hugo Boss, Michael Kors, Lulu Guinness, Versace, Tom Ford and so on, literally there is so much to discover and lust over I had to hide my bank cards.  Pysche cater for men, children and women and not just for clothes, you will find watches, shoes, handbags, cufflinks, underwear to name just a few and here are some of my favourite items which I came across:

As you can see, I haven't just chosen items for me, there are also some for the Mister which I think he would like especially the Skull T-shirt which seems to be a running theme for his clothing right now and the Hugo Boss shirt, which is just stunning would be great for work or going out in.  

As for me, well I have fallen in love with the Daisy Jewellery which you might have seen me pinning over on Pinterest and no list would be right without a handbag and in this case it is from one of my favourite designers Ted Baker, not only is this handbag pink (winning) but I really love the chain detail of the handles which continues onto the bag as a pattern.  I also think every beauty blogger I know loves lipstick and I love the Lulu Guinness lipstick keyring, it is a bit quirky but I love it and finally some snakeskin print trainers which would look fab with some skinny jeans and an oversized jumper, one of my favourite items to own and something I need more of.

Have you heard of Psyche?  Have you ever bought from them before?

& Other Stories Floral Memento

There is one store in London that I can happily spend some time mooching about, the kind of store that makes you want to just touch everything because it is so well laid out. Inside you will find a treasure trove of items from clothes, jewellery, handbags and beauty, many of the items coming from Paris and Sweden. You might have guessed it already but it is the beauty part which I really love, there will find brands some really well known brands such as Eborian and theBalm but they also have their own range which is worth checking out, whether it is makeup tools such as eyelash curlers or spoolies, lipstick and blushers there is something there waiting for you.

I really love the & Other Stories body products, there is a huge plethora of scents to devour and Floral Memento, which I was kindly sent in both body scrub and souffle form, I have become obsessed with.

Floral Memento Body Scrub is a smoothing sugar scrub which polishes the skin to not only leave it feeling soft, smooth and incredibly moisturised it also leaves this amazing floral scent on the skin which is just divine. The sugar particles which form the exfoliating scrub are quite small but with a little bit of pressure perform the most amazing job to remove all of that dead and dry skin without scratching the skin. Then there is Meadowfoam Seed Oil which provides great hydration to the skin to leave it feeling velvety soft and smooth.

When it comes to using the scrub, you use it like an other scrub you own and massage it over damp skin and then simply wash it off. A 250ml jar costs just £7 and it lasts for a really long time.

The Floral Memento Body Souffle is absolutely divine and if ever there was a body cream that made me want to use it (I am a tad lazy in this department) then this is it. This whipped body cream is so soft and so smooth it is an absolute pleasure to apply. As soon as it comes into contact with the skin it absorbs itself immediately and leaves behind amazingly soft and smooth skin which smells just delightful. 

When it comes to the ingredients, again Meadowfoam Seed Oil is one of the ingredients as within the scrub but added to that is Vitamin E which acts as an anti-oxident and helps to keep the skin soft and smooth. Shea Butter which nourishes the skin and Babassu Oil which I am told is similar to coconut oil and is used because it offers protection and emollience.

I apply this cream every morning after showering and again it comes in a 250ml tub and it costs just £10.

I cannot rate both of these products highly enough, I am more than determined to make my way through the rest of the range which includes scents such as Fig Fiction, Steel Garden, Lemon Daydream, Arabesque Wood, Moroccan Tea, Frozen Verbena and Belleville Bakery to name but a few of those on offer. Within each range you will also find a Body Lotion, Body Wash, Hand Soap, Hand Lotion, Body Mist and a min hand cream and with prices ranging from £4-£10 they are absolute bargains.

Have you tried any of these ranges and scents from & Other Stories?
