TOP FASHION INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS

Instagram is 100% my favourite social media, it is the one I use the most for myself and for inspiration. My style when it comes to fashion is very diverse. I love how sophisticated a long Midi and heels can make you look, but on the other hand my favourite pair of shoes has to be my Dr Martens. I don't want to be define as having one style, it is individuality that makes a person stand out.

These three Instagramers all differ from each other when it comes to style, but they take such pride in the way they carry their style which makes them unique.

LUANNA

Le Happy

Luanna is a fashion blogger, she has a very emo like style but mixes it up to create her own feel and look. She is very well known for her individuality and taste. I love how she mixes a variety of styles in to one.

AMREZY

Amrezy has a very grown up type of style, she looks a million dollars all the time. I think she could make a bin bag look good. She is a makeup artist so her makeup is always flawless. If your a makeup Lover and you don't know Amrezy then you are in for a treat.

NAYANE LEBAGOA

Nayane is a fashion Instagramer and Facebooker. She does have a very alternative style. Her hand Tattoo and her bright platinum silver hair are a few of the things that make her look amazing. In a lot of her posts she does show parts of her body but this is executed so well, it resembles high fashion and class. I love how versatile her look is.

All of these women are beautiful inside and out. They have a creative flare when it comes to their style and are an inspiration not only to bloggers like myself, but to women and girls all around the world.

Rewrite the Royal Ascot Dress Code

We are slowly moving closer towards the Fashion and Royalty Event that is The Ascot Races. The event has gained more popularity due to what guests are wearing than the horse racing. Although it is a top UK Fashion Event, Ascot is known for its strict dress code. However over the years fashion and individual style have been breaking all the dressing guidelines, but there is still an ancient 1940s dress code to Ascot. As individuality and personal style is at the height of the fashion world should we still be encouraging guests to dress as if it is a ‘Back In Time’ theme. Yes I agree it should be sophisticated and classy but there are so many definitions and interpretations of dressing in the presence of royalty. My style varies from gothic to girly. I don’t particularly want to be known for dressing one way, its an expression of yourself and you should choose to explore that in the same way you explore all other aspects of your life.

There should definitely be a length of skirt dress code but I believe the UK as a whole should embrace individuality even if it’s not something you choose to embrace yourself. This is not a rant, just my opinion on the matter. In respect I definitely went for an Individual yet classy outfit for the Ascot Inspiration.



Dress - Givenchy | Blazer – Balmain | Shoes- Sofia Webster| Clutch Bag – Alexander Wang |

Belt - Balmain

 

I did want to look at bright colours but this dress just caught my eye, I absolutely love it and I hold my hands up to the designer. No this is not a conventional Ascot dress but what is conventional these days. I went for a Monochrome colour scheme with a splash of orange. Ascot usually falls on a nice day so this would be perfect with the flowy skirt and the drop sleeves. It obviously has a 1940’s inspiration with the sleeves but there is a clear modern design aspect to this piece. This may not be everyone’s taste but that’s style for you. I love that it has a beautiful low v-neck and the drop sleeves. I think the centre of a woman’s chest, the collarbones and the tops of the shoulders are probably the classiest and most gorgeous part of a woman’s body. To jazz up this dress up I choose a white clean looking belt, some heels with a touch of colour to break up the monochrome feel and a statement jacket. This jacket adds a smart touch to this look with the bold stripes and the pointed shoulder pads, and to finish this off a plain white cutch bag just brings the whole outfit together.

I didn't really feel a need for a head piece as it would be too much with these statement pieces. I would definitely go for nice dewy skin and a curly up do to show off those collarbones.

Don't ever be afraid to be yourself :)

Khaki Swing

Good Afternoon Beauts, 

Apologies that I haven't posted in a few days, I have been up north in sheffield with my family for just under a week. It was my nephews 1st Birthday which came around so quickly! It was so nice to be home but I didn't really have anytime for anything as I was preparing a surprise for my brother James and his girlfriend Nicola, in celebration for Daniels 1st birthday.

This dress has got to be my top dress for comfort, it is a cotton swing dress so it is very comfortable to wear whatever the weather. I bought this right before I went on holiday and it became my go to dress when getting ready and bumming around the pool. It does have drop armholes and sits just above the knees. It is slightly long for me as I feel loose fitted dresses below the knee can easily make me look quite stumpy but as this sit right above the knee, I don't think this has that effect. As I said, I have worn this dress very casually around the pool and the apartment in Turkey when getting ready but this simple shift dress can easily be transformed into an elegant evening outfit with some heels. These black sandals are perfect for this look as it is a simple choice but very effective.

I am all about buying pieces that are multipurpose, I would wear this with some Dc Martens and a trilby hat,  some sandals and a bold necklace or some jewelled flip flops and a smart blazer. They are just a few examples to show how versatile this dress can be.

The only critique I have on this dress is as it is cotton it can stick to you sometimes showing all parts of your body, however thats not always a bad thing.

Dress - Boohoo | Black Block Heels - New Look 

You can see this dress as part of my March Fashion Haul/Lookbook | Boohoo | H&M | Primark | Chockers | Just Fab on my Youtube Channel.

I hope you like this dress as much as I do, it is a great key piece to have in your wardrobe and it is only £10 so you can't really go wrong. It is from Boohoo and it is called the Freya Drop Armhole T-shirt Dress.

Floral Vamp

I have been in love with this two piece since I bought it! It is a pink embroidery Bra-let and Midi 60's inspired Skirt. It is one of my favourite outfits that I have in my wardrobe. The material is so beautiful and the embroidery is stitched to perfection, although it is a little heavy but that it to be expected with this much detail. The purple, pink, blue and green metallic detail contrasts incredibly from the plain black background, it reminds me of what a magical garden on the planet of Pandora (Avatar) would look like. 

The Bra-let is very low cut which I am not use to wearing, I did start to feel like my boobs were trying to escape, but I was at a bar all night and there was no accidents. I would advise to wear a Bra-let like this around people you trust or attach a button or clip of some sort. Unfortunately I experienced this the hard way when some idiot thought it would be a clever idea to unzip it in the middle of a town centre. It wasn't my brightest moment but we live and we learn, not to be friends with arseholes that it! It is perfectly comfortable and I am able to wear this without a bra so the support is very important.

I love 60's inspired Midi Skirts like this one. I just think they are so feminine and elegant, perfect for any shape or size. This one is a size 8 and I do think if I was any bigger I may die from suffocation. I am normally a size 10 but my waist is a size 8 or smaller so it does get a bit difficult when buying clothes that sit on my waist. Buying high-waisted jeans or a bikini is a like having a fight with myself. 

CURVY PROBLEMS!

With this two piece being so vibrant and decorative I needed my accessories to tone it down so I went with a simple pair of black Sandals and a black Bum Bag. This Bum Bag is probably on of my favourite things at the moment. Yes it is small so I couldn't take everything out with me however not having to carry anything on a night out is a like dream. It goes with everything, whether you want to go casual or smart, its just the perfect little bag especially to have on holiday.

I decided to go for a very dark vampy look with my makeup. This dark purple lip and the smokey eyes just add an ounce of depth and an almost gothic-like edge to this look. I think it all work so perfectly especially with those loose natural waves.

Cobalt Blue

This was an outfit I wore out to dinner with Alex on Holiday in Turkey. This Midi dress was such a bargain, I bought it last year for a wedding when I realised I had nothing to wear and was in a major rush to find something. It is cobalt blue with a mesh strip around the bottom of the dress. It can be worn casual with some flip flop or smart with heels, which is the option I went for.

I teamed it with this long yet light pale grey cardigan, some black block heels and a black clutch bag. Elegant and sophisticated. 

The dress was an amazing price at £9.99, it was a great day when I found this especially as I had nothing to wear to a wedding the next day. Organisation was not on key that week.

I wore my hair natural with a bit of water and hairspray and natural makeup, a hint of green under the waterline and a pale pink lip-gloss.

I do apologise about the poor quality images as they were taken on my mobile phone as was running late and Alex was trying to boot me out of the door! GIRL PROBLEMS!! I really liked this look so I felt I needed to share it with you guys.

Black & White

Hi My Loves, I am absolutely in love with these trousers, they are a very thin silk like material and have a very unique pattern. They come high waisted but they are easily worn more on the waist. I bought these specifically for my holiday as I knew it was going to be cooler in the evenings. It is a matching set but I wasn't too sure it would look too much with the top as well. The set is such a good price at £20, the trousers being £12 and the top being £8 which I purchased from Tesco's so it caters for all shapes and sizes.

To glam up this outfit I wore these black block sandals, a tied vest top and a black bum bag which is one of my favourite things. A dark eye, a bold pink lip and a slicked backed Fishtail Platt adds a bit of colour and edge.

Blue Butterflies

I don't always like going out in high heels especially on holiday. Flip flops and sandals are the way forward. This butterfly dress is one of my favourite summer dresses. The butterflies are such a vibrant blue and it has cut out triangles on the waist. Not that I tan well in the sun but the white looks so nice even against slightly tanned skin which then makes the blue butterflies stand out.

I decided to go for the comfy option with these double black buckle flip flops and a long slouch grey cardigan. Both the dress and cardigan are very light weight so perfect for a casual evening holiday look.

I wore my hair in a crown braid with a bright red lip which looks elegant and pulls this look together.

Holiday Smart

First of all let me apologise for not posting for a while, I've been a little busy with work. I am now on holiday in Turkey, so I am currently laid in sun by the pool, sorry if it's rubbish weather in England :/ 

Last night was our first meal out and I've got to say I wasn't best pleased with my lasagne, however me and Alex grouped with my Nana and Mum who are on holiday as well. Drunk Nana is always an amusing experience. 

I thought I would go for more of a smart casual look for my first outfit of the holiday. It's a little chilly in the evenings so this long cardigan kept me warm but is very light weight. Even though it's grey the colours complimented each other very well, allowing the orange crop top to contrast against the outfit of choice. For accessories these black block sandals and this black glitter clutch just pulled it all together.

I hope you like this outfit, it's a nice and summery but it could easily work in any season. I bought these white jeans in the winter so it's all about personal preference.

Chiffon Shirt Dress

Recently I have been shopping for holiday clothes as I am going away to Turkey in a few weeks. I bought this chiffon shirt dress from Primark and I am absolutely loving it. I have not worn it yet as everything I buy I am saving for my holiday. This dress is so feminine and elegant and I am so glad I picked it up, I wasn't too sure whether it would look too old or suit my shape. It is a soft checkered chiffon material in dark blue and white with buttons all the way down the front. It comes with a navy slip as it is quite see-through and a slimline tan belt, whether you want to keep the belt depends on personal preference but I think it breaks up the blue, adding a nice contrast for this floor length piece.

The dress is very low priced as Primark is known for and only costs £13.00. I have seen other floor length shirt dresses in higher market high street shops like Topshop and River Island and I can imagine they will be at least triple the price. I put on some strappy black block heels from New Look but I think I would definitely like to try some tan heels to match the belt and pull the outfit together.

I think this piece is very versatile, you could dress it up with some heels and a clutch bag, wear on a sunny day with some sandals as it is very lightweight and loose, or wear for work with some smart shoes. When I buy clothes especially for a holiday I like to choose pieces that are versatile as sometimes the weather can turn on you or something can happen which you don't expect, so call this my safety option.

I put my hair up in a little messy bun so you are able to see the whole collar of the dress and how well it fits on the shoulders. If you like dresses like this then I definitely advised to check this dress out. I am so happy with this purchase and at £13.00 you just can't complain. 

Have a good week!

Casual Drinks

Casual drinks with friends, you don't want too look done up or too casual. My usual method is jeans, heels and a nice top. Its easy yet elegant, especially when your in a rush which is a normal thing for me as I always end up being late.

DIY Two Piece Matching Set

The hype over matching two pieces inspired me to try and make one myself. This matching set was made from a dress I bought from Primark for £2. The dress was a size 14, two dress sizes bigger than my size. The print on the fabric is so vibrant and it would be great for the summer. It is a unique piece and you wouldn't have to worry about someone else wearing the same outfit.

 

 

I bought this dress specifically to do this DIY as it was only £2 so if anything went wrong I wouldn't loose anything. I tend to do this a lot. This was quite an easy task and anyone could do this as there is no sewing machine involved. If you have a sewing machine then great, but if not that isn't a problem.

 

I wanted to completely change the dress but some steps are not necessary. If you want something sweet and simple then this DIY is perfect for you. The great thing about matching two pieces is that they are multi purpose pieces, you can style the skirt and top together or with different outfits.

 

Please watch the video tutorial below for a step by step guide to how I made this two piece.

 

 

The materials you will need:

 

Dress

Pins

Scissors

Needle Picker (Optional)

Clothing Hem

Iron

Black Material

Card

Foam Material

White and Black Thread

Needle

Three Press Studs (Optional)

Hook and Eye (Optional)
 

To make this DIY easier I would definitely consider not cutting out the back of the crop top and only using material for your belt as it will be easily washable.
 

I hope you like this DIY and make sure you rate and subscribe to my channel for more videos!

Valentines Evening

Black Crop Top - Toshop/Midi Skirt - Miss Guided/Shoes - Topshop/Jacket - H&M

When February comes along most couples either go out for dinner or have a cosy night in together. Mine and Als valentines day was a real last minute thing. I am a little sceptical when it comes to Valentines as its become huge commercial holiday as everything increases in price so it can become a very expensive night out. I believe you should show your love to your other half on a daily basis and not make it more apparent for one day although I will not deny valentine surprises are really nice.

Every year Al choses the restaurant and plans everything so this year it was left to me and its safe to say I left it a little late. We ended up going to the Italian Restaurant Prezzo. The food was really nice, I had Prawn Chilli Linguine and Al had Crab and Lobster Ravioli in a creamy sauce. 

The prezzo we went to was a small restaurant so it was relatively quiet, enabling us to have a nice meal and just be with each other. After all thats what its all about.

I hope you had a lovely Valentines Day whether you went out, had a cosy night in with your other half or spent it with Friends and Family. The day is a bout love no matter who you chose to spend it with!

See you soon!

DIY Lace Heels

If your anything like me then you love shoes, my wardrobe is in the process of being transformed in order to fit more in! I can honestly admit I have a bit of an obsession! I can't really remember the first time I tried a pair of high heels but I bet it was funny. Strutting around in your mums heels! My other obsession is definitely being a crafty person, I like to transform anything I can into something that's my own, whether I'm creating something from scratch, transforming an item or adding a crafty touch.

 

My first YouTube video is a DIY video of transforming these nice classic heels. I bought these from eBay for a cheap £6. I have only worn them once as there slightly too big for me! They have just been sat in my closet for months so I took it upon my self to come up with ideas that would make them look unique but in season. I didn't want to replicate something I had seen, I just wanted to create something that would transform them and increase there value and appearance; but on a budget.

My priority was to try something that would challenge myself within DIY Fashion and look completely different to the original. As you can see in the above images I applied lace all over the shoes and added a black trim around the shoes. The trim makes them look very high quality, it's always the smallest details that matter.

 

To do this you will need

 

Shoes - eBay - £6

Lace - Craft Store - 0.5 Metres £2.25

Black Trim - I used black elastic as it had a very silky shine - Craft Store - 3 Metres £2.10

Soft material to line the inside on the shoes - Already Owned - You can use any type of material just make sure it's soft

Cuticle stick and some tweezers - Already Owned - You can purchase these from most drugstores if you don't own them.

All Purpose Glue or Fabric Glue - Crafts Store - £2.00

Black sharpie or permanent Marker - Already Owned - You can purchase these from most Craft or Homewear Stores if you don't own them.

TOTAL = £12.25

 

Please checkout this DIY video tutorial and a number of different DIY Projects on my YouTube Page.

 





 

If you like this DIY please let me know what you think to these shoes and whether you would buy these in a store or any thoughts you have on this DIY.

See you soon!
