New In: Ray-Bans

by Adele

Ray-Ban Silver Mirror Aviators c/o www.sunglassesshop.com

Happy Monday Lovelies! How was your weekend? Did any of you catch the amazing London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony?

We've been experiencing a spell of hot weather in the UK over the last week, so you can imagine how delighted I was when these fabulous Ray-Ban Aviators arrived at my door, just in time to make the most of the glorious sunshine!

When sunglassesshop.com contacted me to partner up with them, I had a good browse round their fabulous, easy to navigate website.

I was impressed with the broad range of branded sunglasses they offer (think Chanel, Dior, Prada & Tom Ford) & they seriously have one of the best ranges of Ray-Bans I've ever seen!

Such an iconic brand & style, I'd had my eye on these mirrored bad boys for a while!

Delivery was free (within the UK) with the sunglasses arriving the day after I ordered them. Communication about my order from the customer service team was timely & informative.

They also offer a 30 day returns policy, for easy exchanges or returns if your order isn't quite right.

I now feel like I belong in Top Gun, reliving the 80s!!! If you follow me on instagram & Twitter (@intotheblonde) you'll already know I've been wearing them loads...

Are you a fan of Aviators?

Mixing Metallics

by Adele

There was a time when mixing gold with silver in an outfit, or in jewellery was a big No No, yet now I find myself comfortably being able to mix up the metallic pieces in my wardrobe.

One of my newer pieces I literally haven't been able to stop wearing is my new Filippa K metallic tee thanks to nelly.com. The fabric is uber soft & it's just so easy to sling on with any of my coloured denim.

I'm afraid I'm a little behind on outfit posts. I actually shot these photos & posted on instagram before our break in Norfolk but have only got round to showing you guys now. Still they say better late than never!

I was wearing...

metallic tee c/o nelly.com

jeans Topshop

scarf Oasis

clutch & ballerinas Zara

sunnies Marc Jacobs

earrings Vivienne Westwood

watch Rolex

bracelet Miu Miu

ring Alexander McQueen

nail varnish Chanel Holiday

TGIF! What have you got planned for the weekend?

I'm excited that my parents are coming over to meet Hugo!!

Bacon + Mature Cheddar Straws

by Adele

Whenever we have friends over for drinks I love to make some homemade, easy to eat nibbles to accompany them. I've got a few fail safe recipe's that are quick & easy to make (remember this post & this post), super delicious & always help the drinks to slip down easily!!

This recipe is no exception & will guarantee to be a hit with your guests. For extra ease, use the ready rolled puff pastry & use the finest quality bacon you can lay your hands on to give the most flavoursome results.

For vegetarian options, it's easy to omit the bacon, or for a nice alternative try sprinkling chopped mushrooms on top of the cheese.

Leopard + Studs

by Adele

Happy Tuesday Lovelies! I'm back from Norfolk feeling totally re-juvinated after a lovely long weekend.

This outfit was shot before we went away, just before I nipped into the city for some retail therapy! I'm still massively loving peplum & couldn't wait to wear my new seasons purchases.

Quick update on the Fake Tattoo's (posted here). The one on my shoulder has now completely worn off, but did last 10 days. The one on the back of my ankle is still going strong. I'm impressed with how well they have lasted, considering on top of all the normal daily wear & tear, I swim 6km during the week, so they have had to withstand a lot of chlorine & splashing about in the pool!!
