Snake kimono



Hey guys!!!

I am really sorry that i have not posted in a while, i have been so so busy with uni work and have pretty much been in lounge wear for the past few weeks as i have been up to my eyes in multiple different projects so my outfits have certainly not been blog worthy!

So this is a smart/ casual outfit that i wore to my best friends birthday meal, it was a casual evening out so i didn't want to get fully dressed up so i jazzed up a simple black crop top (Primark) and black (Levi) jeans with a long grey snake skin print kimono (boohoo.com) and some really cute black lace up heels (primark). I find just by wearing a cute pair of heels can change the way an outfit looks and how you feel in said outfit so dramatically! 

To finish off i wore my MAC Relentlessly Red lipstick which just added a pop of colour to this outfit! I also accessorised with a silver statement necklace and my Kate Spade envelope looking clutch bag!

I will try my best to post more!! I hope you like this post, don't forget to check out my past posts!!

See you next time.

Hey guys!! How have you all been?! Today's post is a kinda belated payday wish list (slash) what I really want for the next few months as A/W approaches!

So the first three images of the most recent online purchase that I have made from boohoo.com. I LOVE lace up items at the moment and faux suede, and especially when they are together! So these three garments arrived this morning.. don't you love that feeling you get when the doorbell rings and you know that its a delivery for you.. its so exciting, but opening it is the best part, its addictive and makes me so happy to have these newbie in my life (sad I know)!! These boots are just below knee height, they have a zip down the back so they are easy to put on/ take off and have lace up sides so you can loosen them slightly if they are too tight tot begin with- they are also VERY comfy and easy to walk in I have seen these sold in quite a lot of other online shops e.g. public desire for the same price. The second item is the faux suede 'chocolate' brown lace up front dress, this is so so soft and would look really good either dressed up or down! The last item that arrived this morning is the black high neck long sleeved lace up back crop top which looks so cute on and will go with so much of my wardrobe, if you would like me to post about how I style it then please let me know!!

So the next items in this list of my A/W wish list, are all from missguided. I'm loving khaki and rust coloured things at the moment as you can tell as most of these are those colours. The first item is similar to the black crop top that I have just told you about with the lace up feature with its lace up sleeves which I just so cute! I have also previously blogged about my love for wide leg trousers which I'm still loving for the next seasons, as well as culottes, I recently bought myself some white culottes from primary (which is risky because I don't trust myself wearing white things because knowing me ill ruin them) but I'm loving these pinstripe culottes as they are still summery but also great for autumn as if you're like me and really don't want summer to be over yet they keep the summery vibe alive!

I remember Bella loving the kind of shirts that are next on the list last year and this year I'm loving them too as shirt dresses as they are so simple yet make a real statement and are so easy to dress up with the new lace up boots that is at the top of this list or some converse to dress it down.

As I have also previously mentioned, I am loving khaki and rust colours this season, they are just so bang on trend and colours that I wouldn't usually wear but I can't get enough of them right now! I'm loving this khaki sleeveless duster style jacket with matching trousers, I love this sophisticated coord outfit and it needs to be in my wardrobe when payday comes around!! Same with these rust wide leg trousers, they are so nice and they're even better that they're high wasted and would look lush with my black lace back crop!

The last thing on this list is the beautiful double tassel rust faux suede jacket that I can't imagine being the best in the rain but lovely in the cool autumn breeze. This is an ultimate MUST for the up and coming season!

If you have any questions/ suggestions, as always, let me know and i'll catch you on my next post!!

Turkish Delight

Outfit 4
Outfit 3


Outfit 5.
 Hey guys! I hope you have all had a glorious summer!
I am back from my holiday! I went to Turkey for the first time (with my family)!
We went to Fethiye, Calis Beach which was so beautiful and definitely one of my favourite places to go! While we were out there I took photos of most of my outfits so I could show you guys what I wore on trips out or for the evenings, the outfits here are the my top 5 favourites, as I went for two and a half weeks, that is an awful lot of outfits to blog about so I have chosen my top 5! Bella will be doing a post on some of her favourite outfits in the next couple of days too!
 
Outfit 1- This is the outfit that I wore on the plane to Turkey, as I have said before I am a big fan of wide leg trousers and these are the perfect things to wear on a plane as they are so comfy and are basically like wearing pyjamas, these ones are from Tesco! I wore them with a white Miss Selfridge bell sleeve off the shoulder crop top and black Birkenstock sandals.
 
Outfit 2- My second outfit is what I wore on the first night of being in the glorious Turkish heat, wearing again a wide leg garment this time being my monochrome palm tree culottes from Primark combined with my Primark ribbed off the shoulder crop top and Birkenstock sandals, I also used my cute tassel clutch that I bought in H&M.
 
Outfit 3- So my third outfit is what I wore to the massive Fethiye market- this day was boiling, I mean I can handle the heat- I love the sun and the hotter the better but on this particular day it must have been about 40 degrees, it was so damn hot I couldn't even be bothered to shop!!! But I'm glad I wore this orange halter neck crop top from ASOS with my trusty monochrome pompom Primark shorts, again with my Birkenstock sandals and a black bumbag from Tiger.
 
Outfit 4- so my second outfit I have blogged about before, but it has made my top 5 holiday outfits because I love these Missguided shorts so much! I wore them with a Missguided black off the shoulder crop top and again.. my Birkenstocks with my tassel H&M clutch bag. I also wore a little sun necklace that I bought in the mountains whilst on an excursion trip! (helping out the local trade and all)!!
 
Outfit 5- My fifth and favourite outfit of the holiday is what I wore for my brothers birthday meal. This gorgeous faux suede off the shoulder tassel playsuit is from Missguided (of course), it is so comfy and soooooo soft I couldn't help but stroke it all night! I also wore it with my Birkenstocks as they were the comfiest shoes that I took on holiday as we had quite a walk down to the promenade to the restaurants and shops.
 
I don't know if you guys have noticed but I love off- the - shoulder garments.. I have only just realised how much I wear them! (Incase any of you were wondering, the bikini I'm wearing in the second photo down is from River Island, but I bought it last year so I don't think it will be around anymore!)
 
I hope you have liked this post on my favourite holiday outfits, Bella will be doing one on her faves too as I have previously said!!!

D.I.Y Louboutin's

 
 

 

 
Happy Friday guys!!
 
So today's post is a little different to my previous ones! It is my 21st birthday in September and I really wanted some fab shoes, so I had been looking at ones online... especially admiring Christian Louboutin's infamous red soled beauties! Obviously I can't afford the real thing so I decided I would make my own for so much cheaper !
 
To begin with I shopped around for the 'perfect shoes' that will go with my birthday dress. I finally found them in the Next sale for a whole £16 from £32 (ish)!
 
I then researched the best way to paint the bottom of shoes and found that using wall paint and clear acrylic were a popular thing to use as well as a simple nail varnish and clear top coat- so I decided to use nail varnish as it would be cheaper!
 
When it came to painting the soles of my shoes, I covered the fabric around the sole with masking tape to avoid getting the paint on to the rest of the shoe. I also made sure there was no dirt on the soles before I painted them so I gave them a quick clean with soapy water which did the trick.
 
The nail varnish I used to paint the soles of these shoes was a 'Miss Sporty' red in the shade 150 (which was £1.99 a bottle I think), I got two bottles (one for each sole as the bottles are only small and need more than one layer). I then painted each sole with two coats- leaving each one to dry before I added another coat.
 
I then left them over night before adding two layers of 'Collection Top Coat' (which was about £2.99). I decided to use a clear nail varnish to keep the red on as if my nail varnish can stay on without getting chipped after working or washing up I think it can stay on the bottom of some shoes- even if it doesn't last that long!
 
Once the clear had dried my own Louboutin's were finished! I can't wait to wear this next month, and I will be doing a post on my birthday outfit- including these beauties! I hope you like this post- if so let me know and I can try and do more like this!!
 
Have a lovely weekend!

Sisters in Summer





 

 

 
 
Hey guys, I hope you're week has been good so far! Today's post is slightly different because I have got my not so little sister Bella involved! She will be writing about her outfit too! This week we are up at our Grandpa's and his garden is the perfect place for a photo shoot! As my previous posts have been just about my outfits, this was really fun too shoot so if you like this, I will do more including Bella.
 
Today I wore my trusty floral Missguided scuba trousers which are the comfiest things to wear, I have teamed them with a white Primark off the shoulder crop top, white sandals, my cute Asda sunglasses and the black handbag. I love wearing these trousers as they go with any kind of white, black or nude crop tops and they are so easy to dress up or down! I like to role the bottoms of them up for a more casual look.
 
 
Hey everyone, its Bella, so I thought I would write to you about my outfit, which I hope you all approve of. The trousers I have worn are from the wonderful Tesco and when I wear them I feel as though I am wearing pyjama's, they are that comfy. As the trousers are printed I thought I should team it up with a simple yet elegant top which is from Miss Selfridge and also is very comfy. It is off the shoulder and the material is very soft and was worth the buy. My glasses are from Accessorize and I love them. The lenses are mirrored and I love them as they go with everything. My lemon bag I brought in the New Look sale for £6.50! BARGAIN! I love it as it is funky and it brings a simple outfit to life and adds some fun. The sandals I wear with this outfit are Birkenstock style gold sandals and they are the most comfiest sandals I think I have ever worn. I brought them last year in River Island and I wear them all the time and they go with most things. I think this is a simple outfit which is made funky and fun with the accessorise and shoes.
 
 
I hope you have liked today's post, leave me a comment or email if you'd like us to do more of these double posts!! I have added links to the garment and shop lists above with either the same item or ones that are similar.
