Make Mine a Midi

Midi Magic! 

I don't think you can get anymore sophistication from a midi dress (or skirt) with a pair of courts. LOOVE! This look is more or less everywhere right now and I can confirm that it is my idea of pure class with a sexy edge!

The spikes on this dress takes away from the straight grey and makes it less boring and flat. I chose to go for a slicked back bun to add to the 'sophistication' and I did have smokey eyes and nude lips-inspired by Kim K of course- but the iPhone camera only stretches so much as far as quality is concerned. So just imagine it! Hahah. I would also say you could go for red lips (or maroon) if you want more of a gothy look and more of a statement, but for this occasion I wanted something subtle.

I've had this dress for a while now but there are so many out there, get shopping!

Thinking Outside the Jewellery Box!

WOW! 
At last, a quiet moment to blog. All those doing A Levels/IB will totally get how I feel! Stress, stress and MORE stress!

BUT, not to worry, it's the last stretch now  AND we're in February-the best month everrr so, I'm happy!! :D

This post idea actually came to me in summer and I just never got round to doing it, its short and sweet and I hope you feel inspired. So much of my jewellery sits there gathering dust, so I could get rid of it or make good use and recycle like I have done here...Think of it as a mini jewellery make over! 

Experiment ladies! 

Using Necklaces as head bands: This was inspired by Khloe Kardashian (see below) use hair pins to secure it and make sure its clean and simple. Tip- be sure to work it and be confident when/if you use it. And also you might want to wait till summer to do this one. 




I haven't had a chance to do this one myself but I think it would be fun and look good. This picture is from the internet  and I'm not so sure I agree with their chosen studs, but who am I to judge ey?!Ok, so this one is pretty much straight forward, spice up shirt collars with different earrings studs to create a cool effect. Wear under a jumper so the collar is the centre of attention. 


This is a simplified version of the last, again not my picture. They have used a chiffon type of shirt here , if you do that be very careful not to loosen the threads. I like the simplicity of this, its a subtle statement so no jumper necessary!

Pink and Blue Will Never Do...

...Because the boys will wink at you! ;P

I tend to wear a lot of simple outfits or black and white and thought this would be a bit of a change.

I don't know why it is, but most people think that winter is all about wearing dark colours, and all you see in the large crowds is a sea of grey. Nooo! It doesn't have to be dull and boring guys! Liven it up with bright colours or even pastels as I've done here.

Here's how to make pastels work in the winter, with just a fluffy jumper and patterned jeans. Can't get cosier than this fur ball! I feel like these jeans show exactly what you should be doing over the holidays: Stuffing your face with lots of sweet treats! You can burn it all off in the new year!

Wearing a shirt underneath this cosy pale blue jumper smartens everything up, but what brings this outfit together is the statement necklace. I love the tribal vibe it gives off, not for any reason in particular though,I think it's worth a few winks! haha ;D
