Flower Power

Helloooo my lovelies!

Now I know that it's getting colder and summer is officially over but today's post is a little bit of a throwback to my Portuguese holiday where the warmth of the day would stick around into the evening and it was acceptable to wear shorts to dinner. I thought I'd show it to you for 3 reasons:

1) Maybe because you'd like to try it out and tough out the cold.

2) A number of my followers are abroad where it is now turning to summer so this would be slightly more relevant to them. 

And 3) Because it was too cute not to share! ;)

I have been having a bit of "writers' block" for the past few days, which is rather frustrating but after having a good think about it I thought I'd tell you why and how this whole look came to be...

It all started when I became addicted to the new Kim Kardashian game, now,now, let's not judge! It's actually pretty good, I even got my mom hooked...shhh don't tell her I told you! ;P Anywhooo, it started with the hair, Kim has this sleek look(See picture below) so I decided to copy it, unfortunately with the humidity after one minute of stepping out my hair began to frizz so the pictures don't do it much justice aha.

The clothing itself was one of those accidental outfits..you know, after experimenting with different tops(my suitcase was literally crop top galore!!) different shoes you finally come across one that actually works! Who know a yellow belt wouldn't clash with the floral top?! I've had these shorts for a few years and I usually dress them up a bit formally, so to have this relaxed look I was quite pleased with myself! Just be careful when you're eating not to spill!! 

I'm starting ramble now so why don't you take a look for yourself and let me know your thoughts! 

P.S I have one more lovely summer look and after that I cannot wait to start Autumn/Winter14!! 

No accessories 'cos the tops enough! But perhaps a small chain would be just fine :) 

With not too much belly showing, this is definitely dinner appropriate!

Everything Is All White

Ahhhh yes, its all white (right) now! Before I talk about the outfit I first have to tell you the meaning of this title. As many of you have probably seen by the numerous posts on Facebook expressing my excitement, I'M GOING TO UNI!! After all the stress and anxiety waiting for results I couldn't be more relieved and hence the play on words for "Everything is alright". The obvious use of white is..well my outfit is white(ish) so I thought this would be rather fitting! :D Okay, explanation over, let's have an look at this holiday outfit!

Holidays are a time of relaxation and comfort, let me tell you: This is one of the most comfortable outfits I have ever worn, no joke! After having already been on one holiday I was a bit broke so I was limited with what I could buy, obviously this called for a trip to Primark and an unexpected trip to Tesco, prepare to be amazed! Excluding the shoes, this whole look is probably about £25! The thing about Primark is you just have to look carefully, thats where I found these amazing flowing white linen trousers, perfect for day and night. 

With Kimonos being a trend for summer, I literally searched high and low to find one I actually liked and Tesco came through with this detailed white kimono. I have to admit they didn't have my size but this worked out even better because I got one about 5 sizes up and it flows beautifully. Don't judge me but I actually feel so empowered when I walk and it blows in the wind- like something out of a movie!

Okay, and lastly, the bandana, my new statement piece of the summer, perfect for keeping those fly aways back. I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of these in my posts.

Here's my all white-ish look, no fuss and super laid back for a relaxed holiday or weekend look! :)

Dogtooth Meets Turtle Neck (3/3)

Well hello there!

Its been a quiet few weeks, I know, but I'm here now and I have many looks stored up from my holiday which I cannot wait to share with you. We're gonna have to leave those for later because I still have one more look to show you from my photo shoot and I totally saved the best for last! At least, it was my favourite look of the shoot, would love to know which one is your favourite-if you've forgotten the others just keep scrolling down after this post! :) 

There are a number of reasons why I love this look, from head to toe it's just so ideal for a lovely summer evening out. So simple, yet so elegant, AND it wasn't pricey at all!  Dogtooth has to be my all time favourite print, its so classy, especially on coats and a skirt like this one. However, if done wrong or if the print is on a completely wrong clothing item your look can go from 10 to 0 in seconds! Luckily, after months of hunting for the perfect dogtooth item I found my beautiful pull and bear body con midi skirt and it couldn't have been more flattering. 

This skirt is so versatile so you'll probably see another variation of how I wear it pretty soon, I can't get enough of it! Here I tried to keep the look as elegant as possible and I thought nothing better than a high neck/turtle neck crop top would do the trick. Showing minimal midriff to give it that sexy edge and the sleeves keep it fuss free as the summer nights don't quite require a coat, but you still need that extra layer. 

Lastly, the hair and make up, ahhhh I just love a gigantic bun! This took the stylist a TON of hairspray and lots of layered back combing...yeah,my hair didn't like me so much when undoing it :/ Worth it though ;) And the lipstick... you all know by now that I luuurve me some black and white with a pop of colour! This orangey/coral makes a nice change from the red. 

I did warn you that I had a lot to say about this look, and this is me keeping it short! ;P Let me know what you think :) Xxx

Jewels were minimal, I borrowed this snake ring from a friend and the necklace has bits of leather intertwined -sorry I didn't get a close up so you'll have to squint haha.

You can't see my shoes, but I'd advise either a pair of black courts or black barely there heels.
