HOLIDAY MUST HAVE/TWO PEICE BARGAIN

 

Two piece | Miss Selfridge 

Bag | New Look

Shoes | Vivienne Wetwood

So I fly out to my favorite place again tomorrow, Milan. So I will be over the next week posting all things fashion from the fashion capital itself so keep posted.. As per everything is a mad rush as I've left everything last minute.. I'm only just starting to pack!!! Here's my holiday must haves..

 My love for matching two pieces is still going strong even more so now after finding this beauty a while back in Miss Selfridge. I'm a lover of high waist clothing.. Jeans, shorts, skirts if you’re petite like me I recommend high waist clothes as they elongate your legs and with the right pair extremely flattering!

This two piece was such a cheeky bargain I think I paid £10 in total as at the time the offer was buy on get one free although I bought this a few months ago I did see that they still have them in sale. So if your quick you can still get your hands on a set it also comes in a turquoise colour too..  They are ideal for holiday with a pair of jeweled sandals or you can dress it up a little like I have and pair them with a small heel and clutch.

APPEALING | OOTD

Jumpsuit | Miss Seldridge
Jacket | Topshop
Shoes | VW
Bag | New Look

Again another jumpsuit post as I cant get enough of them I find them so easy to wear. This one is much more dressier than the previous one I've posted. I purchased this lover from Miss Selfridge last month in the sale. It's a lovely tailored fit and is ideal if your a bit on the short side like myself. The only thing that I'm not to keen on is the sleeves which you can't see but that have a short butterfly flare. I recommend a long jacket especially if your around the same height as me as I tried on a short jacket and it did not go at all made me look even shorter plus a longer length jacket gives off a more polished look. As usual I couldn't resist the Viv's as they go with absolutely everything!

ALL BLACK EVERYTHING

So if you me you will know that I am a lover of all black. Today was a really busy day at work, I knew I would be I my feet all day, so I knew I needed too dress comfortably, yet appropriate for work. The jumpsuit I'm wearing is from Warehouse, which is fairly new in.. If your I've of them people like me that sits and stares ate the wardrobe thinking what to wear this jumpsuit is the answer. I have had my wear out of it already as it can be teamed with anything for any occasion. I must be honest and say this jumpsuit can be worn well by any shaped women, small, slim or large by the way it's made and the material it's made from. As you can see I have gone for the casual look and teamed it with a long tailored black jacket and my newest sandals purchased from Zara. To add some sophistication to my out fit I carried a croc effect monochrome satchel.

Jumpsuit | Warehouse | £46
Sandals | ZARA | £19.99
Bag | Linea | £45

HONEY I'M HOME

Whyyyyyyyyyy hello there babyloves! Hope all is good!! Wow, again it's been far too long and again I am sorry busy is not the word but I'm back and ready to smoother you all with everything fashion.

So recently I've been working on personal and fashion styling any spare time I have from work I've been travelling getting involved in shoots and I love everything about it. Here's a few BTS pictures of what I've worked on.

BLOCK COLOURS

These pictures were taken on a shoot I styled in London, The model Flossy carried off the clothes effortlessly. The theme of the shoot was block colours (creating an outfit with individual vibrant colours bouncing off each other) This styling job was given to me at short notice in which I had a total of 3hrs to purchase 7 whole outfits. Due to the limited time the one shop in particular which saved the day was hands down ZARA. Mostly all the items of clothing purchased were Zara the rest  purchased from Next, H&M and Vera Moda. Colour blocking is a must do this summer and I highly recommend Zara as the place to shop for these outfits.

WHITE ON WHITE

This has to be one of my favorite styling jobs which I did in Blackpool, I couldn't have asked for a better team. Tasha Ellis from Jadore Models was innovative, quirky and bought life to the shoot. White on White was fairly straight forward the concept was simple, White everything was all over the high street so I had no trouble shopping this shoot. 

Top 3 stores on the high st for the all the white look.

Mango

Topshop

Primark

If you want to see the final edits from the shoot have a cheeky flick through my website.

Will keep you updated with more BTS shots soon.

AQUA AND JC PASTEL FAVOURITES

Following my recent blog post on Pastels thought I'd do another one on my personal favorites...

I have a growing collection of AQAQ clothing in particular dresses as I have been buying there pieces for the last year or so. I absolutely luuuuurve AQAQ they create the most exquisite, structural, defining attire yet feminine at the same time. I would strongly recommend for any lady who enjoys wearing refined clothing to try Aqua. Bare in mind that Aqua clothing can be expensive but worth every penny due to the quality of the clothing.

 

 AQ/AQ  £100

 www.aqaq.com

I bought this dress a while ago whilst it was full price It did go into sale the last time I checked I'm not too not whether it is still on the AQ/AQ website however keep a look out on asos and possibly ebay. I haven't had a chance to wear this yet beauty yet as soon as a little bit of sun comes out I'm definitely wearing it accompanied by these beautiful...

JEFFERY CAMPBELLS (JC)

which speak for themselves. Unfortunately I do not know the price or where they are actually from as my partner gave me both pairs as a birthday present. I taught him well didn't I girls :)  Although  I have previously purchased JC's on karmaloop you could try this website and see if you find them or anything similar.

PASTEL TAKE OVER A/W 13

Heeeeeyyyy babyloves! Another way overdue blog post, apologies for how long I haven’t blogged for, working 7 days a week and studying definitely got the better of me. So, where I have been … Well  I’ve started my new job at House of Fraser as well as working at my current job and I’m also at London School of Styling undertaking a fashion styling course which I absolutely love so as you can imagine I have been extremely busy and haven't given my social life and blog much TLC.

  Candy floss pink

So as you all may have noticed trending this A/W is pastels in particular coats which are noticeably over sized with a boyish silhouette. The most popular colour is candy floss pink especially in coats personally I'm not a fan of the colour pink in general, however I have found some beautiful pieces on the high st following this trend. This trend was one of the styling briefs I was assigned to do from London School Of Styling a few weeks ago  ‘Pastel Hitchcock’ inspired by Alfred Hitchcock. I found that shopping for this brief was quite difficult as I struggled to find complete outfits with the exact shade. I spent the whole day in Birmingham city centre and out out of all the shops on the high st Topshop was the best shop for this trend so if anybody is shopping for anything of fhe pastel shade I recommend Topshop 100%. Here are some of the pieces I got hold of all from the High St.

 TOPSHOP

TS Fluffy Swing Boyfriend Coat £89


TS Fluffy Pelmet Skirt £35

FOREVER21

 

Metallic Disco Skirt £14.99 SALE
Metallic Court Shoes £19.99 SALE
FOREVER21

How I Wear Pastels...
   As I've already said before I'm a little bit obsessive with one tone outfits as I think the overall look adds so much more sophistication to any outfit.  Mint Green and Powder Blue are the shades I go for when it come to wearing pastels as these shades I find suit and compliment my dark complexion rather than pinks and yellows as they seem to make my skin complexion seem a lot darker than what it actually is. I  have blogged these outfits before so if you want to know about the outfits in more detail  you can find them in posts Pastel Me and Milan OOTD2.

GET THE SUIT LOOK

Apologies for the overdue blog post! So last weekend I was lucky enough to receive an invitation to a fashion show at the Portugal embassy during LFW. As this was my first 'real' fashion show experience it exceeded my expectations and more. The decor, music, runway, photographers everything was just how imagined. 

Obviously my battery died because that's what happens to me every time I go to London, I'm convinced the place hates me!  

The only picture I got during my travels,

My traveling essentials.

Anyways here's a brief description of the shows...

The first show consisted of a combination of digital prints and light weight fabrics that were almost three dimensional off the body. The colour palette was very clean crisp whites with a splash of neon throughout. The second show was more ready to wear and defiantly my personal favorite collection out of the two. The garments were stunning with lightweight fabrics used throughout the collection which oozed beauty and class.

So this is what I wore...

If you know me and have read my blog posts you will know my obsession with the one colour attire so this is what I did here. The best thing about planning this outfit was that I didn't give a second thought about looking over dressed which is obviously the best feeling! I wanted to go with a classy, clean look.

I chose to go with the colour cream as I feel that if your wear it properly It can really add a dash of sophistication to any outfit, in my case I chose to wear it all over! The top is actually off white but with the cream tailored jacket I added against the top and trousers you could never tell as it gives the illusion of a 3 piece suit which I love. I decided to lead with black finishes (accessories,shoes,bag) as I felt it polished the outfit perfectly.

Jacket, Next
Top, H&M
Trousers, New Look
Shoes, Sole Boutique
Bag/necklace, New Look

Get the look yourself! If you want to get the three piece suit look go and grab three of your best pieces from your wardrobe in the exact same or similar colour of your choice. Make sure one of these is your best tailored blazer as you can't create the suit look without it! Get routing through your accessory drawer and pick out your best statement necklace fit your shoes and bag around your choice of accessories. Play around until you get the best remember to keep it clean, classy and simple!

MUST HAVES/ZARA SALES

 Zara in store sale is a no go for me I try and avoid it as much as possible, it’s too much for me and guarantee I leave the shop stressed and sweaty because I can never find anything in my size.  So this time round I decided to shop online and I can proudly say there were no sweats.

 Loafers - £15.99

 Black loafers I believe are essential in every woman’s shoe collection they are a classic shoe that are never out of trend. These are my 5^th pair of black loafers and are by far my best they are more ‘dressy’ in comparison to my others which I love as they add they polish up any casual look and for £15.99 I cannot complain, I think there are a few more left online last time I checked so get searching and clicking.

Blue heeled sandals - £19.99

Zara’s basic heeled sandals are a MUST they go with anything and everything possibly one of the easiest pair of shoes to style. I already have the black pair and I love them so I obviously had to purchase the blue ones in the sale for £19.99.

The second pair I actually got brand new off eBay, I’ve been trying to find a nude tone pair of heeled sandals for a while and these are better than what I expected. The truffle pleats in the centre defiantly add elegance to the shoe which is always the right look to have. The only negative I have on the Zara heeled sandals is that the heel tips are easily worn down (that’s why you get a spare pair) If you have a pair I advise that you take them to the cobblers and get a metal heel tip, I paid £3 for mine in the cobblers in the Pavilions in Birmingham city centre and I’ve had no problems :)

 Parka, £19.99

I was in desperate need of a new parka as my last one is years old and is losing it colour so when I spotted this baby right here reduced to £19.99 from £69.99 it was obvious I was going to make it mine.  Usually parkas don’t fit upper half properly this is a XS at fits me perfectly it looks much better on than off too. Everybody needs a fresh parka in their life again so if you’re an XS your in look because the last time I checked they were still in stock.
