Ebay Wish List #2

Here is the second eBay post and it's focussing all on holidays! I've been on a couple of holidays this year and a kimono was definitely at the top of my shopping list. Whether I wore it over a bikini, over a top and shorts during the day or over a dress for the night time it came in handy every day. What's even better is, it double up as a blanket for the airplane, they can always get a bit chilly! What did I ever do without one?

You know the rules for these eBay posts - everything must be under £20 and I've stuck to it! Which one of the three is your favourite? I love those heels and they even come in a selection of colours! You can never have too many shoes, no matter what anybody says!

What Zoe Did #4

After a long and both relaxing and busy month, my blogging mojo is well and truly back and we'll ease this in with a round up of the previous month via Instagram.

If you're not already following me, but would love to see my updates of food, kittens and cocktails then check my profile out at @zoeskerrett!

I'll not ramble on to much but the past month I've either been having fun on holiday, eating out, drinking cocktails or working - some of which I love, and some not so much. You can tell which is which by looking at the majority of the pictures - I'll leave that for you to decide.

Also I've got a few ideas lined up for What Zoe Says in the up and coming weeks and months, plenty of duty free beauty reviews, the one and only eBay post with some absolute steals and perhaps some advertising slots for you to get your blog known! If you'd be interested in this, give me an email using the link in the sidebar and I'll give you some more information!

What Zoe Did #3

Can you believe we are nearly half way into July? No, me neither! Here's a little Instagram collage of what I've been up to in the month of June. As you can see it includes plenty of food and cocktails - as it should do!

How I Keep My Eyebrows In Shape

Eyebrows are one of the most important features on your face - they frame your face and make you look all in proportion and 'finished off' if you know what I mean. If I could only use one make up product, forget mascara, blusher or lip balm, mine would be my HD Brow Kit!

Naturally, my eyebrows are the lightest, most see through things ever and without a bit of powder you can't even see them. Fab. For the past few months I've been getting them tinted: once HD style and twice just a wax and tint as a 'top up'.

HD Brows at the salon is a seven step process including a tint, wax, thread, tweeze and trim. Personally, I love going through the whole HD process but I don't think it's necessary each time, perhaps just three or four times a year with a tint and wax in between.

As you can see in the pictures, they are a little bit pink, especially between my eyes but the colour difference and shape is much more defined! It has been a little over five weeks since my last wax and tint and I'd not touched them with tweezers since - the hardest thing to do when the stray hairs start popping up all over.

I also got my eyelashes tinted for holiday, I like to have mascara on to open my eyes up but during the day when you're sunbathing or in and out of the pool who wants to be worrying about the dreaded panda eyes?

How do you groom your brows?

OOTD ft Dollface London

This weekend me and a few of the girls went over to Manchester for a night of cocktails, cocktails and yet more cocktails. We stayed in a lovely apartment with beds the size of a house - okay maybe that was a slight exaggeration, but seriously they were huge!

The lovely girls at Dollface London kindly gave me some gorgeous jewellery for the occasion - a gold double band midi ring and a silver unicorn necklace. You may think that silver and gold don't go together but to be honest, this is 2014 and we should never stick to the rules?

The dress, Topshop, actually belongs to one of my housemates - it's great living with my two best friends as I've gained two new wardrobes! Finally the shoes, a chunky black pair from Garage. The champagne is an optional extra to the outfit but if I'm honest, it's the best accessory you can add!

Summer Ready With Quiz Clothing

The perfect summer outfit includes anything bright, anything floral and anything white. I've picked out an outfit from Quiz that incorporates all three of them in order to look summer ready, show of your tan and make the most of any sort of legs-out weather we may have.

As soon as I see the bright clothing coming back into the shops I immediately start to feel summery, I want it all and I want a bronzed tan so I can feel my best when it comes to baring a little more skin than I would the other ten months of the year.

With Quiz Clothing I've picked out a bright lime summer dress and paired it with a black floral kimono and some white chunky platform heels.

This zingy citrus coloured dress has a contrasting PU leather trim around the neckline and sleeves making it look sophisticated and smart. When paired with this floral kimono the colours all pop together and it's always nice to have something to cover up with - you know what the weather can be like in England. Well, actually you never know, one minute there's gorgeous blue skies and the next you're frantically trying to find some shelter as the heavens have opened!

Finally, something that always give us confidence, especially when showing off our legs - heels. This white faux leather pair are extra chunky and you know what that means, they're easier to walk in! Hooray for all!
