Okay... here goes!  I was extremely nervous about filming my first ever V-log but I knew it was something that I wanted to overcome so for my first ever V-log, I review two of Simply Be's Spring/Summer collection: the floral print woven front sweater and the peplum hem textured skirt.


My First V-Log - Review of Simply Be Spring/Summer 2014 from Felicity Hart on Vimeo.

Along with the V-log, I have also taken a couple of photos to show how these items look as a complete outfit, and as you can see, they are really lovely! Thank you Simply Be! :)

Today's "Outfit of the Day" features a feather print maxi dress from Simply Be.  Technically, this dress belongs to my mum but one of the bonuses of being a similar size is that I normally borrow all her clothes!  This feather print maxi dress comes in two lengths and two base colours but I think the black is a much more flattering tone. The dress is still available on the Simply Be website at £35.  Unfortunately it isn't in the sale at the moment but they have plenty of sizes left in stock and I think that price isn't too bad for a maxi dress.  I've seen second hand branded maxi dresses sell on ebay for over £25!!

I am wearing a UK size 18 regular length (52 inches) dress and I have combined it with a bright green shrug/cardigan from George at Asda (size 16) and a bracelet that my mum bought me on her "find a bracelet to match the peacock dress" hunt.  The bracelet is from Wallis and was reduced from £14 down to £3!  My mum is a bargain hunter and that's probably where I get it from!

What glorious weather!  It has been absolutely gorgeous the last few days here in this part of the UK which is fantastic because it means I can keep wearing dresses and skirts.  Today's outfit is a dress that I have had for a year or two however I noticed my local Select have been a bit naughty and brought it back out for this summer on the sale rail!

This black and cream dress is made from a slinky stretchy fabric but has an almost floaty feel about it.  It has a variable hem line and a line of black lace near the bottom.  With quite a plunging neckline it works for both day or night.

To complement my dress, I have added a short black cardigan which is great for any colder evenings.  Jewellery wise I have chosen a gold coloured statement necklace from Wallis and black and gold feather earrings from New Look.  Finally, the outfit is completed with my extremely high heels from Next.
