6 'British Summer' Late-Afternoon Outfits

Hello beautiful people, I am presenting you with 6 Mid-Afternoon summer inspired outfits, which I think is perfect for our British weather. As you are all probably aware the British Summer weather is pretty poor at the moment - but hopefully soon we will see the sun proudly sitting on a blue sheet. Within my outfits I demonstrate a running theme of dark floral's, and bold neutrals. This theme is ideal for our British summer, especially within the late-afternoon to evening, out at the village pub with family, or having tea n'cake with your friends in the garden. 

Black Lace Bralet - Urban Outfitters 

Mustard Sheer Top - Topshop 

Black Lace Collarless Shirt - Urban Outfitters

Levi Denim Shorts - Thriftshop 

Button Down Denim Skirt - Asos 

White Floral Wedges - Clark's 

Black Heeled Sandals - Clark's  

Wonderful individuals, the mustard yellow sheer top and the Levi shorts create a casual and elegant look, perfect for a British summer late-afternoon, where bare legs as when else can you do so, and finish with a pair of chunky wedges! The next outfit is a little more elegant and totally suitable if there's a chill in the air, the black collarless shirt co-ordinates nicely with the black heeled sandals, balancing the whole outfit - the denim skirt is in style at the moment, and is lovely in Britain's sun as it keeps us slightly warm, but having bare legs help to cool us down if we get too hot.

People of the world, this next outfit is a dark floral playsuit, perfect I think for our British summer, as you can have bare legs, but the black and white contrast makes it feel slightly more warmer for Britain, you can get a similar playsuit from any high street shop. They are very simple and easy to wear. Style with trainers, to create a casual look. The following outfit is really cute and simple. Having a dark floral blouse tucked into a black denim A-line skirt is very flattering, bare legs is perfect for the summer evenings, finished with a pair of traditional black sandals, the sandals create a casual look.

Grey Sports bra - Calvin Klein 
Rust Pinafore Dress - Urban Outfitters 
Black Sandals - Topshop 
White linen shirt - New Look 
Grey & White Striped skirt - New Look 
Black leather-look Loafers - Topshop 

Bonjour, I think these last two outfits are my favorite. Firstly, pinafore dresses have completely returned back into our generation, and they are now modernizing them by using cord material and bold colors - which I love. These are perfect for summer, especially in Britain because they are slightly heavy and provide you with slight warmth. I styled mine with a Calvin Klein Sports bra, which I love and starting to collect, and my very comfortable Black flat sandals, which you will be able to buy a pair from any high street brand. The last outfit is supper cute and pretty, a white linen shirt, totally screams summer, as it keeps you cool! and a statement skirt, which basically draws your eyes into the outfit. I casually put some black leather-look loafers with the outfit, to not make it too fancy. 

I hope that you love my outfit ideas for a British summers late-afternoon - give me some feedback to tell me what you think - and follow me on Instagram 'elizabeth Goodrick' & also follow the co-star 'just_eve'.

Making A Simple Stuffed Heart

Hello, wonderful people. Stuffed hearts are super cute gifts, which you can make as personal as you want. You don't necessarily need a sewing machine, but I have got to say it would make this task a lot easier. Lovelies I will demonstrate the steps as simple as possible...

... Get as sheet of A4 paper. Fold through the longest part of the paper, and draw a half heart shape. Then cut it out. You should end up with a perfect heart template!...

... Depending on how many hearts your planning to make, work out how much fabric you predict you will need, and remember you chose any material you like. Beauties, draw around the heart template twice per heart onto the material, and simply cut out the fabric hearts... 

... From the fabric, cut out a 30cm by 2cm piece (this will be your stuffed heart handle) you can also use ribbon, if you prefer. Along to 30cm's fold in 0.5cm from both sides and then fold together, secure by stitching along the 30cm's...

... This is the tricky bit crazy people. Put the two right sides of your fabric together, pin secure. Start sewing at the point of your heart, and stop just before the half way point. Place inside the 'handle' which is set into position, leaving some excess out from the heart. Then put material back over and carry on sewing...

...Stop sewing about 3cm's before you reach the hearts point again. Bring the heart back to it's correct manner. Give your hearts a quick iron, so they are neat and crisp...

... finish by stuffing the hearts (can use from pillows) and securing the open hole by a quick hand stitch. 

I hope that your result is fabulous, it can be a lovely gift. If you want you can also add some lavender into the stuffing, so the heart smells nice as well.
