Must have!!! (Under £50)

Hey. I came across these gorgeous pieces on my shopping shenanigans and thought to share them with you guys. 


I'm absolutely in love with these dresses from H&M. They are classic, gorgeous and super affordable. The fit and quality is great too. Drape/wrap dress, super flattering! Love them!!! 
 

I am also seriously crushing on these Zara coats!!! Winter doesn't have to be dull with a gorgeous colourful & warm number. Love these too. And again, I think they are super affordable especially for Zara. 


With the festive season coming up, I'd love to find myself a lovely metallic (preferably gold) clutch. I love the top 2. They are so chic. But I love the colour on the bottom 2. Sigh. Why do we have to choose in life??? Self control!!! 
Top. New look. H&M. 
Bottom. Both TKMaxx

I love the midi pencil skirt trend. I'm not really sure it suits me but so many ladies I have seen rocking this trend inspire me to jump on the band wagon and if I do, it will be with this high waisted number! I have been drooling over this Zara skirt for the longest time! 


When it comes to shoes, I always have a pending wish list. I never get enough!! My current obsessions are these babies. I actually bought the ox blood pair but had to return them because they didn't fit. :(  I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of the yellow (chartreuse) pair. I so hope they are as beautiful as they are pictured. 
And these orange sandals....OMG! I had to have a thorough talking to myself to practise some self control and leave them in the shop. I promise you, they are even cuter in real life. But it's November! How do I justify barely there sandals?? Il find a way because these are screaming my name. Knowing me I'd sooner get the sandal than the coat. Smh. 
Ox blood- Dorothy Perkins 
Yellow- Miss Selfridge
Orange- River Island. 

So these I my current hot picks! Maybe someone will see something they like!!

Leather & Plaid.

Hey!!! I wore this outfit a few days back out with my sister in law. I'm not very much into midi skirts but I loved this ox blood pleather (faux leather) skirt at first sight. 





The A line shape and high waist is rather flattering and it really is a great skirt for this cool weather. 



I paired it with this matching plaid shirt and simple nude heels for a trendy autumn look. 

Take care.

Pumpkin Spice.

Hey. I had a lovely day out shopping with a dear friend today and it was such a lovely day. We got some coffee, (pumpkin spice latte for me) which made me realise how well into autumn we are. 



I'm usually a bit matchy matchy so this was a bit different for me. Four solid different autumn colours. Burgundy skinny trousers with a cream blazer over a burnt orange vest. 

I would say I finished the look off with these simple chic nude heels, but I think the inspiration for the whole outfit started with the shoes and worked it's way up. I have added a outfit set to show the colours a bit better because I wasn't too pleased with the pictures. In need of a good new camera!

Work Mode.

Hey!! I'm late with my blog posts but I have just been crazy busy lately. I wore this a few days back on a day out shopping with a client. My personal styling and shopping experience is growing and so am I in it. It's a humbling and motivating experience learning (practically) the styling needs of other people. 


I choose this simple outfit of skinny beige/khaki jeans with a white camisole. I added this bright red blazer for a pop of colour which always brightens me up. 



I finished off the look with leopard print heels and a black bag for a chic and sassy feel. 

I like to dress simple but well especially when meeting a client because I always think "would I take style advice from a badly dressed person?" Lol. 

Take care.

Neon crush.

Hey. I love this neon yellow dress I got this spring. I wore it once to a wedding, so I was so happy to wear it again after so long (I had lost weight so it didn't fit right). 


The fit and colour of this dress is just superb. It finds and accentuates curves like no other. Maintaining the greatest balance of fun, sexy and classy. 



I wore it with my Aldo heels, picking on that neon yellow!! And to commit, a gold and neon yellow link bracelet. I have a handful of dresses that make me feel AMAZING and this one is high on that list. 

Hope you had a great weekend. 

Take care.

Crispy Cream!!

Hey!! Today I chose to wear these printed trousers (that I really don't like). They were an online purchase that just wasn't right. But they are here anyway so I tried to make the most of them. 


I paired them with a matching green top and for a contrast I added a crisp cream blazer and cream patent heels. 



I completed the look with a two tone cream/black clutch for a smart casual look.

Fresh florals.

Hey!!! I have been a bit unwell lately and now I'm feeling a lot better, I thought I would cheer myself up with a fun, floral and happy look. 



I opted for my lovely floral mirrored skirt. I love that each time I bring it out, I have a new idea or a new colour to wear it with, that always seems better than the last. 



I added this light knit jumper to suit this chilly weather and my current most worn shoe. I am trying to break these in since they are still fairly tight and uncomfortable  so I wear them any given chance especially on shorter days or around the house. 



I completed the look with a cluster of pearls for a lovely feminine look. 

Hoping you are well. 

Take care.

G4LIFE???

Hey. So the Rihanna for River Island collection dropped on 12 September. Sadly I wasn't too excited by that because her last collection was a bit of a mess. (My opinion). I thought for a high street collection it really didn't relate to the high street consumer. Anyway, I was hoping this new collection would be improved, though I still don't think I'm a G4LIFE. Lol. So I managed to get to River island today...and I left with nothing!!! 





Her collection is suitable for the young rebellious types (very true to who she is right now) and gladly I'm past that stage. I kind of got a modern day Aaliyah from the collection. It's all weirdly nice...just not for me. My favourite piece, that I'm considering buying are these boyfriend jeans, mostly because I love the dark wash denim. They fit quite well too. 



I like the print on this dress. Really cute. But the back slash...not so much. And it's a bit too mini for my liking, but I can see this look great on someone else!! ( if you have a body like Rihanna's!! 😕)


These camo sandals are cute!! Really cute!! I just didn't feel like they were worth the £60 price tag the come with, more so considering all the other killer heels in River Island's current collection. 


This dress/tunic is weird to me. It just isn't making much sense. I really hated the sleeves on it. The leggings though, I LOVE! 


So am I a G4LIFE??? Are you a G4LIFE??? I can't wait to see how people will dress the pieces in this collection up. I just think it sort of fits a certain 'niche' but there are creative fashionistas out there!!!

Date night.

Hey!! I always look forward to having a good night out with my Boo and as he is off again soon I decided to pull out another of my favourite dresses for Saturday night. 


I bought this Tricolour dress several months ago while shopping for a wedding outfit. I thought it was an amazing dress. However I lost some weight in the run up to the event and ended up in another dress because the fit of this one wasn't happening. 


Fortunately I have gained weight again and it fits (almost). I was left with the crisis of which shoes to wear but ended up deciding on the nude heels...they are pretty, with sparkles and are by far more comfortable than the red. 


I really felt pretty in this dress. I love its mix of colour and would dress it with some black wedge peep toes for a casual day look. Have a good week.

Head wrap kind of day!

Hey. So I was having a really bad hair day and for the first time ventured out with a head wrap. I absolutely love head wraps...on other people! It felt odd on me..my small head felt vulnerable. But what is life if you don't try new things! 


 So with my animal print red edged head wrap safely on, I wore this simple black chiffon dress. I love the ruffles and the cut out on the front. Very flirty and feminine. 


 
I finished off the look with my trusted white shopper and these toe cap heels! First time wearing them, and I won't even lie...they were rather painful but I'm hoping they will break in soon because they  are so pretty! 

Take care.

I love shoes!

Hey!! So I'm a shoe addict and I spent this bank holiday Monday just relaxed going through my regular stores online for my next shoe purchase!! I love that there is loads of new autumn/winter stock now so quite a lot to choose from. 

I spotted these toe cap ankle strap court shoes at River Island. I found them oddly interesting. I prefer the grey/black pair. Take that ankle strap away and you have a Awesome shoe. 

I also love these Zara vamp heels. The heel isn't too high so they are very comfortable as a regular basis type of shoe. I got the white one as an impulse buy but wish I'd waited coz the black is Gorgeous. So if anyone wants to gift me...:)  
 
Then there is this Miss Selfridge edgy embellished sandal. The detailing on this shoe is just amazing. Love it!!  

And for those edgy days...I love these Zara sandals. I think they would look really cute with an edgy flared dress or simple black leggings and oversized top. 

And my personal favourites...I love love love these court shoes from River Island. They are just so simple and so Me!!! If I could I'd just get them all...but....well. 

Hope it's been a good long weekend. (Where it applies) lol. 

Take care.
