The detailed dress...

May 17, 2012

I ADORE this dress! It is beautiful and perfect for the festival season. It has beautiful lace embellishment and would go so well with a leather jacket or chunky-knit cardi. I think these type of dresses are a must-have as they are such a good wardrobe staple. Although white, this dress does not wash out pale skinned people (like me!), but it would also look great with an amazing tan! (tan review coming soon...)! Knee high socks and wellies, or ankle boots and socks would again, work really well with this dress.
Dress-around £25.99 ZARA.                  




All Patterned up...

May 14, 2012

Today I just wanted to show you my amazing new find! These beautiful leggings from Urban Outfitters were a bargain and go well with so many things. When it comes to pattern on pattern clash you have to be brave and wear contrasting patterns- one thing you want to avoid though is looking like a clash gone too far! Pairing these leggings with a simple striped shirt and jumper really work them to the best of their ability. Adding Vans makes this casual and completes this look. I have to say I LOVE my Vans. They have honestly got to be one of the best pairs of shoes I have ever bought. I wear them all the time and they are so comfortable! Yes, I agree they are quite expensive, but they are SO worth the money. Also, they come in so many different colours, and if you are willing to splash the cash, then you can get loads if different colours and patterns to match the clothes in your wardrobe!

To infinity and beyond...

April 28, 2012


I just wanted to show you guys this amazing new top that I bought at a bargain price. It is an amazing space print top that looks incredible and works well with so many other pieces. This kind of top could easily come from Urban Outfitters or Topshop and cost a small fortune, but I found this in the one and only Primark! At £6 this has to be one of my best bargain buys. Skirt £19.99 New Look, Heels £7 TKmaxx and Top £6 Primark.


Festival Fashion.

April 21, 2012

I'm sitting here in my lace dress and knitted cardi writing and dreaming about how much I'd like to be at a festival right now. Seeing as this is not possible I thought I would give you my guide to festival fashion so that when festival season is upon us, you can make sure you are looking festival ready!
 Firstly, I have an elegant dress from Whilstles. It has beautiful embellishment which makes this dress so elegant. This is not classic festival wear but, I think it would work so well as it is unique and you would look beautiful. The only thing you wouldn't want to do, is get Glastonbury's iconic mud on this £125 dress!

Second I have a classic festival combo. A beautiful lace detailed dress with a chunky knit cardi and boots. This look would work really well with a flower band in your hair and maybe some wellies if it is really muddy and you don't want to ruin your amazing boots!


1: Dress £125 Whistles and shoes £7 TKmaxx.
2: Dress £25 Zara, Knitted cardi Hobbs, Leggings £5.99 H&M and Boots £15 Office.

Pleats.

March 24, 2012


I just wanted to share a couple more outfit ideas using this skirt. I think it is so versatile as it goes with so many things. For the day add retro tees and gladiators and for the night add elegant blouses and heeled boots or clogs. Skirt throughout £19.99 New Look.

Coastal elegance.

March 24, 2012

This look screams coastal elegance as it combines a beautiful outdoorsy parka and a flowing and girly skirt. I love this skirt. After I bought it I read a review by Lauren Lavern about the lemon version of this skirt and she said that 'the pleats are really Prada.' I totally agree with her and think that this skirt could be designer and yet it is from New Look and was a bargain! I've seen the lemon version of this skirt in ELLE highstreet aswell, so when I bought it I felt like I had my hands on some talked about fashion! I find the pale pink skirt works better for me though because of my pale skin tone and the colours that I wear. The length is good as it is not so long that it creates a stumpy effect.

Skirt £19.99 New Look, Jumper around £9.99 H&M, Parka M&S, Tights £4 Primark and Boots around £30 (in the sale) Kurt Geiger.

Top Button...

March 20, 2012

I can't believe how long it has been since I last blogged! This outfit is so cute and quirky. It mixes different colours and accersories that work really well together. For example the hat mixed with the dark leggings make this outfit click and work. The boots are a flesh colour and work really well as a neutral base. REMEMBER- add LOTS of jewellery, add a parka for colder weather and do the top button up to make it look preppy!

Fresh Ideas.

March 03, 2012



Seeing as spring is now upon us I thought I would share with you some outfits that are fresh and look great for the new season. This outfit uses a checkered shirt which is in my view, a wardrobe staple. A pair of denim shorts works really well with this outfit because of the texture and colour. A simple necklace, a few bracelets and rings is all you need to accessorise this outfit. A big trend this season is minimalism. I think this outfit fits well with that trend because it uses simple pieces put together to create an amazing outfit. Adding simple brogues keeps this outfit minimalistic.
Shirt £10.90 (in the sale) Hollister, Shorts £28 Moto at Topshop, Tights £4 Primark, Shoes £30 Topshop and Necklace Handmade.
