14 Unmissable Reads – The Best of the Blogosphere (April 2017)

In my Best of the Blogosphere this month I have creativity boosters, husbands styling their wives, the rise of ‘Instagram face’ and more! 

(In case you’ve not seen these posts before, my Unmissable Things to Read post is a monthly round-up of things I’ve seen, watched and liked in the blogosphere that I’m sure you’ll love too.)

It’s been a crazy week for me with having won the Individual Fashion & Beauty prize at the UK Blog Awards (and still being in shock about it) – Friday’s #SaturdayShareLinkUp post will tell you all about it, meantime you can see what I wore here!

Do have a read of these great links – you never know who or what you might discover that makes your day/week/month!

Last year Katy wrote about how she failed at her lifelong dream and quit – but she was perfectly okay with doing so.

Monika let her husband loose on her wardrobe to style her and he created this (pretty fabulous) outfit.

The crippling rise of ‘Instagram Face’ – where makeup looks have become totally homogenised – is discussed in this revealing (and very worrying) article.

From surrounding yourself with creative people to taking time out, Vicki has 5 excellent creativity boosters.

Abbey has written an open letter to new bloggers telling them how not to let brands and PRs take advantage of them (it’s amazing that the examples aren’t piss-takes – they really happened).

Have you stopped to take stock and think about how proud you are of yourself lately? Rachel did, and wrote about it here.

I’d not heard of she-sheds before, but now I’ve seen them, I want one.

The best of the Over40Collective this month

This is a section where I share the best post from each member of the O40Co. Enjoy! 🙂

As an ex-makeup artist, Michelle knows a thing or two about what should go into a makeup kit for beginners (and don’t worry, it’s not all designer brands).

Annette has found beautiful handmade shoes made specifically for women with bunions – a problem that a lot of us have.

Lisa has been thinking about her style flock – and she is most definitely a parrot (not a pigeon) in this glorious multicoloured jacket.

Liz does Town and Country style so well in pretty pink Breton stripes.

Michelle has restarted her weight-loss journey and has been refreshingly frank and honest about how she ended up putting on the extra pounds (and what she’s doing about them).

As a Highly Commended (runner-up) at the UK Blog Awards Nikki has written about what it’s like to be a finalist – and the fantastic night itself.

And a few Not Dressed As Lamb posts you perhaps missed from this month: Lady in Red: I WON at the UK Blog Awards!!, Smart, Versatile British Tailoring For You and the Man in Your Life, The Importance of Visibility of Older Women in Fashion and When You Hate Photos of Yourself.
