5 holiday outfits
Monday, June 17, 2013
I'm feeling pretty shattered today (late nights and early mornings really aren't great for me) but there's nothing like a bit of blogging to keep you awake! Does anyone know what's happening with Google Friend Connect? I've heard that it might be staying but others have said otherwise - it's all a bit confusing to be honest!
I have to second my friend, Katie's, recommendation of Vampire Weekend's latest album by the way - definitely have a listen when you get the chance as the songs are actually really catchy (in a good way).
Also, there's only one day left to enter my giveaway to win a dress and a bag so enter here if you haven't already.
I've only got a month left until I go away on holiday and it got me thinking about different holiday outfits. I picked out 5 ideas, let me know what you think...
top - New Look, skirt - vintage/buy it here, sandals - Topshop, fan - present
1. I really like this simple outfit. I don't tend to wear midi skirts much (as being only 5'4 means that they tend to make me look quite short if I'm wearing flats) but I think when you're on holiday it's much easier to get away with it. I've had my sandals for a while now. They're nothing special but they're unlikely to go out of trend (are there even trends for sandals?) and will keep me going for at least another summer. How lovely is my fan?! You can't really see in this photo but close up the detailing is so nice!

2. I've never actually owned a pair of high waisted shorts before now, so the prospect of pairing these with shirts and t-shirts is rather exciting! I think it looks great with this shirt (approx £3 - such a bargain!) though the shirt can also be worn on it's own as a beach cover up as it's quite big. Another pair of worn out sandals (I can't even remember when I bought them) but good enough for the beach or the evening.

3. I really like pairing a casual t-shirt with a skirt or pair of shorts for a more summery look. This skirt is by far one of my favourites (another bargain). Again, you can probably tell by now that my summer shoe collection is very old and limited (I actually sellotaped these together last summer and they're still hanging together just about!) but I can't bear to throw these ones away as they've got some really nice beading on the top.

4. I really do like this shirt and I definitely think it would be great as a beach cover-up type of thing. It's got really nice embroidery detailing at the bottom which definitely adds a bit of interest to it. My bikini is new, from Motel, and I'm completely in love with the print and colour.
top - New Look, skirt - old/modified, necklace - bought on holiday, sandals - Topshop
5. Last but not least, I haven't had the chance to shop you my new top yet in an outfit post (a bit too cold for that) but this is how I would style it if the sun was out.

What have you all been up to recently?
What I've been liking at the moment...
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
I was going to do an outfit post for you today but then I looked outside and decided against it. Next time I will trek outside even if there's wind and hail, I promise! I thought I'd show you some things that I've really been liking at the moment . Here are mine...
(checkered crop top - Yayer, green crop top - Roksanda Illincic, shorts - River Island, belt - John Lewis, shoes - Topshop)
1. Crop tops
The chances are I'll only have about 3 days this summer to actually wear a crop top since the weather's so rubbish here in England. Who knows, maybe this summer will be hot and sunny - I'll report back in a few months time. I really love this trend though at the moment. I keep seeing crop tops on other people's blogs and it's given me loads of inspiration.
(black top - Yayer, purple top - Topshop, Shoes - Topshop, necklace - Oscar de la Renta, skirt - Helmut Lang)
2. Off- the - shoulder tops and dresses
I don't know why but I really love this style. I guess it sort of makes an outfit a lot more elegant and can be mixed with something completely not elegant such as the boots above and look amazing.
(top - Givenchy, shoes - Jeffrey Campbell, skirt - Temperley London, belt - Oscar de la Renta)
3. Sheer fabrics
You can never fail with a plain sheer top. I'm pretty sure this trend will never go out of fashion due to it's wonderful versatility and ability to glamourise any outfit (if worn right that is!).
(dungarees - Boohoo, shirt - Todd Lynn, shoes - Jeffrey Campbell, bangle - Kate Spade)
4. Dungarees
Partially inspired by my friend's recent purchase of a very lovely pinafore dress. I really really want some dungarees now!
What items do you really like at the moment? What are you looking forward to wearing?
Style icon: Blake Lively
Friday, February 8, 2013
I've always loved Blake Lively's style. To tell you the truth, I don't know much about her. I know she's in Gossip Girl (I've never seen it, is it any good?) but apart from that I'm not very familiar with her work. She has caught my attention though for having amazing style. I often flick through a magazine and find myself drawn to something she's worn on the red carpet or to an awards ceremony. If anyone knows how to pick a good dress, it's her. Whatever she wears, she seems to look stunning. She's clearly a fan of Marchesa since a large majority of her dresses seem to have been designed by them, and so am I - out of all of her outfits I'd say they're my favourites (I have this obsession over volume and texture!). Not only does Blake Lively wear great dresses, but her other outfits (such as the one below wearing trousers) look brilliant too.
What do you think of her style?
4 outfits for spring...
Tuesday, February 5, 2013
So I've been browsing shops online to come up with these 4 outfits for you just in time for spring (can't believe how fast time flies!).
After seeing so many other bloggers wearing clothes from Choies.com I decided to have a look at it and found I was in heaven! The clothes on there are all (literally all of them) amazing and not badly priced either hence why I included so many in this post. If you haven't seen it already, I'd recommend taking a look.
What do you think of these outfits?
