Hello Style and Beauty Professionals please help Fix Me Up in 2 Weeks

Hi everyone,

DH and I are going away for the night for the first time since 2019. We are going to Edinburgh and will be staying in a nice hotel and eating in a nice restaurant then going to see a show. This is where I really need your help, please 💖 I am 5ft 1 with pure milk skin and a massive stick out tummy with a huge overhang after kids. Oh and 13 stone. Can any of you lovely people give me hair, make up ideas? My hair is really long and I prefer classic timeless looks. Also city day clothes and evening clothes ideas? I want to go all out and really dress up.

Also any ideas on how to look from top to toe ready and debloated in two weeks?

Thanks so much

Sorry just to add that I live in the really rural country so out of touch with anything except Barbour and Joules wellies and basically looking like a scruff.

Budget is completely flexible.

Where in 'Embra' are you going/staying?

MichelleScarn · 19/01/2022 23:58

Old Town, so Royal Mile/rather touristy areas cobbled streets so this may affect footwear choice!

Sheet masks are good for giving your skin a lovely glow.

Thanks both, I am staying in the Scotsman hotel then going to the Dome for dinner then to see the Escape to the chateau family.

Will pop sheet masks on my list thank you.

Have you had a look at annacascarina on Instagram. I've only recently looked at her posts having seen her recommended on another S&B thread. I think she has a very classic style and some lovely outfit ideas for wandering around on a city break.

StarryNightSparkles · 20/01/2022 00:29

Will check her out notaniceperson. Thank you.

Apologies for some reason I can't tag.

There are some lovely dresses on bomshell and they also do some very good support undies from the reviews on there. Might be worth a look?

Drink masses of water, cut down on caffeine and walk outside every day - as far as you can - should cut down on any bloating, and get your feet ready for being on them all day! You don't want to be too tired to enjoy it!

Thanks for the great tips Tanaqui will do those. Will check them out bouncy dog thank you.

I had a look on John Lewis, very, next, boohoo but didn't see anything that would flatter my shape.
