Bonfire night fashion....

I really love bonfire night and love getting wrapped up even more.

So here is my take on bonfire night fashion and how I would keep super snuggly!!


I always manage to keep my torso warm yet always have cold legs! So the last few years I have resorted to leggings under my jeans! Yes I know not very sexy but nevertheless I have warm legs!

I also always layer up on top too. A cool t-shirt, a cute jumper followed by a chunky knit scarf.

THE most important fashion accessory of course is the coat as this is usually the main item of clothing people will see. I have had my eye on a gorgeous Zara coat for a while now (below) but it is out of stock at the moment so I am keeping my eye out for when it becomes available! This would be a perfect winter warming coat with the fur detailing I cannot wait to purchase!

Of course it is also important to have appropriate footwear as often at this time of year organised displays are in muddy fields, a place where you really don't want to wear your best shoes! I often wear a cheap pair of snow boots or wellies as they are easy to clean and if they do end up getting ruined, the cheap price makes it not much of a big deal if they end up in the bin!

I also usually wear a cute hat and gloves making sure im super snuggly and warm.

Most of all bonfire night is a perfect night to have fun spend time with friends and family but most of all to be safe.


Have a fab bonfire night everyone, be safe and have fun!



Love

Getting Shirty... OOTD

What a lovely bit of sunshine we have been having lately.... and then snow.
Last week here up north it was scorching hot.... next minute we have snow, very very strange weather. Therefore very testing fashion wise!

I would of happily worn this outfit out to a beer garden or something and dressed it up slightly with some wedges.

Necklace is Freedom @Topshop
Shoes are ever faithful ASOS!

New Season Fashion...

The high street is awash with gorgeous pastel colours of late, something that really appeals to me. Mainly because it means one thing.... warmer weather! I really can get rather grumpy if I am cold so a bit of sunshine makes me happy!


I am a huge fan of pastel colours in everything, not just fashion. I think they are so girly and flattering that can suit everyone.


Another key colour I have noticed it the rather bright acid yellow. River Island have a number of key pieces to inject a touch of this colour into your outfit, if you are not brave enough to go head to toe in the tangy colour!




Here is a few of my favourites....

River Island £20

River Island £30

River Island £35

River Island £30

I think I will have to be purchasing some of these beautiful pieces!










Lots of Love

All buttoned up....

I stepped out in this ensemble recently, what do you think?

The shirt trend I love at the moment, with tailoring and bows around the collar. So I decided to add this necklace quite high up as a sort of twist on the bow/ribbon thing lots of blouses have going on this season.

Tan coloured long vest H&M

Blouse H&M

Leggings Topshop

Wedge Ankle boots River Island

Long necklace Freedom @ Topshop

I really need to invest in a tripod to hold my camera don't you think?!

O.O.T.D - Denim Shirt

I bought this shirt a while ago and it was sat in my wardrobe for a few weeks before I decided to throw caution to the wind and give it a try. I always imagine a denim shirt to be on a middle aged man teamed with a cowboy hat and a pair of worn cowboy boots... strange I know.


Although with the recent denim trend I decided to give it a whirl and well now I look this look, yes perhaps a little too late but then it always takes me a little while to come round to these ideas! :)


So on to my outfit of the day, this is a little outfit I threw together and thought it looks pretty good. Casual and comfy was the idea!

Denim shirt- Primark
Long T-Shirt underneath shirt- New Look
Leggings- Topshop
Pumps- A small shoe store in Spain.
Blue enamel ring- H&M
Nail polish Barry M Pink Flamingo
Tribal style necklace Forever 21


What do you think of my casual outfit?

Maxi all the way!

When maxi dresses first came on the fashion scene I was a little dubious as I till imagined a long flowing dress as a rather glamorous and 'prom' like attire.

Now with every high street store having their own individual prints and designs of the maxi dresses  I absolutely love them. They can be effortlessly stylish or as dressed up as you like, depending on the material you choose and the design.

I have put together a collection of my favourite maxi dresses that are available on the high street right now from the casual to the little more extravagant.

And the maxi skirts....

A new found love of mine!

I think the maxi fashion is ultra flattering and can hide a multitude of sins! Much better than the mini fashion!

What do you think of the Maxi fashion?

Lots of Love

Topshop recent purchases....

I did quite a big order online at Topshop recently but I haven't bought anything from Topshop for a while so I was quite pleased!


I usually try to think about purchases online before I actually buy them as oh too often I have bought something and thought what am I going to wear that with?!

So a bought a pretty casual outfit and a gorgeous pretty tea dress....

CASUAL OUTFIT

Knitted dark rose tape style kimono cardigan £40

Cream basic scallop vest £15

Black basic ankle leggings £12

white leopard print heart tank top £20

I thought these would make a perfect casual outfits for a uni day or a days shopping!

And the tea dress...

Vintage spot rose dress £46



This dress is gorgeous and in a silk like material, floaty perfect for a warm day and  gorgeous print!

The kimono cardi is a slouchy fit and is lovely and snuggly

The scallop vest is rather see through! But will be ok for a holiday outfit or a summers day, if we get any that is!

What do you think?
