What I'll be wearing at London Fashion Week

Since I found out I was working at London Fashion Week I have been so excited planning and shopping. I've spent an awful lot of time checking out what was worn last year you know, cause everyone wants to dress like the celebs in one way or another.. 

By the way notice the heels!! My feet are gonna be killing me most days but I have been purchasing smaller heeled, comfier shoes to try and cope. I was told my clothing was to be smart but fashionable so here we go I have so far packed....

3 statement pencil skirts, leather trousers and top, Black suit, a white shirt, black cami, black and white polo, pink A-line skirt, my favourite cute dot-to-dot white t-shirt, Vivienne Westwood bag, Finlay&Co Sunglasses and 3 pairs of heels!! I got a few bargains in this lot, my silver heels were £6 in the New Look sale, my black blazer was £25 down from £70 in the Urban Outfitters sale and my navy blouse was down to £19 from £39. The sales were in perfect time for my spending spree! Oh and a heads up with this months Elle mangazine you get a 25% off Kurt Geiger Card which I used today to buy my black sandal heels. 

I am taking a lot of inspiration from the beautiful Rita Ora... 

No matter how crazy and out there her outfit is she always seems to look amazing and glamorous especially seen as she pairs nearly every outfit with her signature red lips. 

What do you think of my outfit choices? Is there any celebrities that you love the style of! Let me know I love to hear what my readers think....

Bringing Back My 90's Style

Ok so i've had a lot of comments from my mum over my recent purchases mainly "oh you used to have one just like that when you were little" OR "Oh my god that is just like something I owned".

This inspired me to look at baby photos and I realised that she is right! Everything she dressed me in as a toddler, or I dressed myself in when I fancied looking more normal, was coming back into the shops and has been for the past year or so... So I thought i'd show you just what I mean in case any of you are questioning me! (Be prepared for cuteness overload haha)

So here is me... and yes that is my parents lovely sofa which I seem to match!

And here is my first outfit recreation...
Trousers - Topshop
Sweatshirt - Topshop
Shoes - Topshop
Socks - Topshop

This baby is my little brother who I seem to be squashing but getting a cute photo of the two of us was more important!

My collar underneath my jumper has hit the high street this past year whether its a one top or you are layering to create the look, I love it!

Outfit Number 2
Top - French Connection
Trousers - Zara

OK So you have hopefully noticed this is not me but my friend Nathan but I just had to mention dungarees

Christmas OOTD, PVC

I have wanted a PVC skirt for months but after Rochelle from the Staurdays was photographed in the pink one Topshop suprisingly ran out of my size! However as part of my Christmas present I got a gorgeous Camel coloured one from Topshop similar to Kim Kardashian's.

As much as I love my PVC skirt, (even though my mother hates it), in my opinion there is only one way to wear it. Make sure your top is plain and understated where its a polo neck, t-shirt or sweat shirt.

My favourite thing to wear with mine is my Topshop short funnel neck black top!

What are your thoughts on PVC? Trashy? (mothers words!) Cute? Comment and let me know?

My OOTD for Clothes Show Live

So to follow on from my Clothes Show Live blog I thought i'd share with you my outift choices for the weekend, cause trust me it was a stressful process deciding....With the chance to meet some of my favourite celebrities it was very important to consider what I was wearing, you know, when you don’t want to look like you have put in loads of effort yet really you have been planning this outfit for weeks!

A few factors changed my outfit just days before as I bought my winter coat for this year; this fluffy blue number from Zara and I haven’t had it off since…

| Zara Mohair Coat | available here |

I also got my Christmas present from my Mum and Dad a few weeks early and oh my god it is just beautiful….

| Vivienne Westwood Jasmine Bag |

For the rest of my outfit I took a bit of inspiration from the 90s! Seen as 90s fashion has come back in every aspect it is now acceptable to pair socks and shoes, wear mom jeans and layer t-shirts and shoe string strap and yes.... i did all 3! I went a really 90’s OK but who doesn’t love the 90’s? 

My jacket being such a cute blue it looks great teamed with a pair of jeans and there was no question as to which jeans. My Topshop Mom Jeans have been one of my favourite items in my wardrobe since I got them off my sister for my birthday they go with anything and everything.

My t-shirt and cami combi has become one of my favourite looks for winter not only does it look so cute but its also a great way to layer up your camis for winter so you don't freeze to death or they don’t just get shoved to the back of your wardrobe!

Topshop Strappy V-Neck Cami | available here |

| Topshop Burnout Tee | available here |

Finally SHOES! My shoes were from River Island but I found this similar pair on Kurt Geiger! I wore my ankle boots with white frill socks.

| Kurt Geiger Sofie Peep Toe Boots | available here |

| Topshop Lace Trim Ankle Socks | available here |

Finally to finish off my look for the day I used my brand new matte lipstick from MAC that i adore!

Hope you liked my outfit post, would love seem feedback and comments on what you think about the 90's!

Talk about oversized..

So seen as the weather is now hitting a high of 11 degrees in Scotland it time to face facts, its WINTER so I thought I better start looking for a winter coat. I absolutely love the oversize coats that are coming in so I thought I would share my favourite few..

I love this Topshop coat its such a lovely shape and shade of grey
Topshop - £85
Available here

The Tartan items entering the shops will no doubt be in my wardrobe sooner or later
and the green in this coat makes it unique and a bit more quirky.
Zara - £89.99
Available here

Again with the Tartan but I think this is my favourite I love the colours and
the length it would be perfect with most outfits and I am really considering purchasing it.
What do you think?
Urban Outfitters - £145
Available here

Finally this pop of colour could brighten up any winter outfit, i'm not normally a
lover of long coats but I am really warming to them this year.
Asos - £85

Comment and leave links to your favourite Winter coats! I would love to see them :D

L is for Leather

I have always adored my leather jackets, my simple black biker jacket from Topshop and my vintage real leather bomber jacket; which I found in a vintage store in Paris for 25 euros!! With this is mind I had never considered other leather items of clothing until recently. I saw this photo of Alexa Chung on the Vogue facebook page and loved how cute and stylish she looked in a black leather skirt and white shirt. So I began my hunt for one of my own!

This is a Topshop number that I managed to find in the sale for £22 and I have hardly had it off since! Considering I can’t wear heels at the moment I love this skirt with my black ankle boots as I still feel dressy enough without my heels, which is usually a struggle for me!

I didn’t stop there though while in Topshop (shock) the other night I came across these white quilted leather shorts that I absolutely had to have!

Again I love the fact that you can dress them up or down with a simple change of shoes.  They are so comfy (much comfier than my leather skirt!) They are available on Topshop.com here; Quilted PU Shorts

I know there is a lot of stereotypes that sometimes come with tight black leather but I think as long as you pair it up with something simple and cute then you can't go too wrong! 

Let me know your thoughts on leather...

My New Found Love For Dungarees!

My New Found Love For Dungarees!

I recently bought my first pair of dungarees and now the countdown to payday begins to fill my wardrobe with denims ones spotty ones, stripey ones... 

Topshop £38

Topshop Boutique

Asos £45

       
Dungarees were last the height of fashion in the 1990s and were seen as a casual day look, worn by celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, who not only wore them in day to day life but also in FRIENDS as Rachel.  Now celebrities such as Rihanna, Alex Chung, Heidi Klum and so many more and all loving the dungaree trend, with that many big celebrities wearing them it was never going to be long before the high street picked them up!!! 

Simple Denim Dungarees Dressed up with a simple blazer and cute heels. Jameela Jamil has perfectly accessories the usual day to day dungarees into a perfect going out look.

Never thought to wear my dungarees folded down, (I realise that sounds stupid) Rihanna looks amazing as always pulling of street style with her own flare and design.

You'll soon learn that I love Jessie J, she does sometimes go a bit too far but she looks so cute in her wee top and dungarees even if she is brushing her teeth! 

I love wearing mine with my white shirt and heels or boots (depending on the occasion) however the fact I can wear them with pretty much anything means they have become my turn to item when I have no idea what to wear! Can't wait to get more summery with them, especially when I go my holidays :D
