16 Unmissable Reads, The Best of the Blogosphere (April 2018)

In my Best of the Blogosphere this month I have Barbie hair transformations, an 80-something lingerie model, greyhounds on bicycles, truly stylish MOTB outfits and more!

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

Spring has finally sprung, hurrah! After what seemed like the longest winter ever, we’ve gone from the depths of winter to scorching heat (UK-style) in little over three weeks. But we’re back to spring and that means April showers. But I’m not complaining – the blogosphere seems to be more positive generally as a result of the new season which I’m embracing with open arms.

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