Valentines Outfits

If you are lucky enough to be heading out on a date this Friday then hopefully this little blog with 2 outfit options will come in handy to inspire your look!

If it is going to be a High Octaine Romantic evening then it HAS TO BE a DRESS!  DIVA is a brand that does sexy dresses with stretch in fabulous cut and colours!  For the style savy out there you may have seen Nigella wearing a lot of this brand in 'The TASTE'

The Opal dress in Scarlet Red £115 (as opposed to the pink in the image)

                     

Add in a fur stole to give it real GLAMOUR this one is in the ZARA Sale £9.99

SHOES to add extra Va Va Voom to your look..... Astro courts form Kurt Geiger £120.00

If you are having more of a relaxed date night then try this great Smart Casual option:

For me a great SC outfit starts with a strong colour and this Ted Baker Alisya jacket £165, does not disappoint on wow factor.

Turn back the sleeve and layer this Sheer panel top from  Zara £29.99, underneath!  The sheer panels give it a sexy edge but the overall shape is casual and not over the top!

To this I would dress down the bottom half with these distressed jeans worn rolled up £46.98 GAP

The wow factor with this look comes from the way you bring it together with accessories!  First off try stacking up several rings and midi rings Topshop and Accessorize have great selections.

Then add in a contrast pop of colour with one of these great Olivia Burton Watches £55 (yes I am slightly obsessed with these at the moment)

 Wearing all these great accessories will be highlighted when everyone's attention is drawn to a statement clutch bag, this ASOS Blurred Lines clutch is £25 and will tie the look together!

And now the finishing touch!

Invest in a shoe that will be super sexy, but also useful for the Spring Summer season ahead.  This Yellow ALDO shoe £60  is just the ticket!

Have an AMAZING VALENTINES...

Tomorrow we discuss the best bars and restaurants for those of you who have not yet booked!

APRES SKI STYLE AS REQUESTED

For Vicky......

First off lets get the footwear sorted! If you are not going to a resort where they drive you everywhere like Scott Dunn!  Then you will defo need footwear that is comfy (after a day in painful ski boots)/warm (SNOW = COLD and chic (one must always look awesome).

My top pics are:
Timberland's Snow boots £131.00

Black quilted snow Boots from Debenhams £28.00

In terms of clothes to pack...  I always think jumper dresses are great options as you can wear them with tights or leggings and will be snug but not too casual!

This Jumper dress is £40 from ASOS and can be dresses up with tonged hair and a RED lip!

Another great option is this Claret Jumper dress £35 also from ASOS  Add in the gold belt or statement necklace and it is instantly dressed up!

For casual, the obvious is a skinny jean and some lush tops but why not try a Leather look leggings £12

Layer a Cami dress over the leggings £7.00

Then layer over this great Sheer lemon stripe jumper £36 from Topshop

or if you want a bot of bling then this Sequin jumper Oasis £15.00

or something more relaxed like this print top from Warehouse £40.

To be worn over the top to give you the WOW factor Faux Fur and knit cape £75 (sold by me also available in brown 4 in stock)

Accessories you need to finish the looks...

Some awesome Sunglasses

Floppy Hat or statement hat of your choice... but this is mine and its only £14.99 from H&M

Last minute shopping for Stylish Christmas outfits...

There is still one day to get that perfect Christmas Day outfit....  so I thought I would put together some  looks to inspire you!   Don't panic if you have over spent this festive season I have created some outfits that are cheap as chips as well as some blow-out options for those of you who have saved a little cash for that perfect outfit!


First of all we should discuss a budget option......  In my wardrobe I have tons of little black dresses that can be easily jazzed up to make them feel more festive.....   Add in a bit of bling with something like this Sequin cardigan from Tesco just £16.

Then add in these fab glitter tights £10 to bring the look together.....

 Alternatively you could add in a slick or RED lips and pop on some RED tights to make the look a bit more festive!!!

A CHEAP LOOK:

These Jacquard trouser £45.00 from Topshop, are a great addition to a winter wardrobe and could easily be worn again with a nice jumper or blouse but when teamed with a bit of glitter will work really well for Christmas day....

Wear it with this sequin blouse £31.20 from Topshop, for a really festive look.... nothing says celebration like sequins.....

Mid Priced:

Sometimes I don't mind splashing out on an outfit that I know I will feel great in and get lots of use out of and this Ted Baker playsuit in festive Green £155 is just the kind of purchase that would fit really well into a wardrobe and is use able all round!!!!

BLOW OUT OUTFIT.......  If I had the dollar this is what I would be wearing on Christmas day:

This gorgeous Alexander McQueen wool dress £620 

Teamed with this J Crew necklace £178

Bottega Veneta cutout shoe boots £495

I hope you get some inspiration from these looks and that you all look fabulous this Christmas.....  Last but not least I want to wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS..... and lets catch-up in the NEW YEAR!!  x x x

Festival Fun

Festival season is still in full swing with the upcoming V Festival, In my home town this weekend.  We thought it would be a great opportunity to inspire you to inject some festival style into your wardrobe.


These are a few of our top festival picks.

Topshop £32 

Motel £45

ASOS £25

Kimono's are a great lightweight piece for any festival. They're easy to pack and jazz up an outfit to give it that summery, festival feel. 

Topshop £45

 Topshop £60 

Motel £48

The floral crown is a huge statement piece this summer and perfect for festivals, as seen here on Katy Perry and Pixie Lott. 

This purple one from Rock 'N' Rose will add a statement to any outfit and is sure to make you stand out from the crowd - £38

Footwear can sometimes be tricky at festivals. Last year we suggested wellies... so you probably already have some ready...  but why not try jelly shoes!  You want to look stylish but don't want to risk ruining your favourite shoes due to mud or your feet getting trodden on in crowds. Jelly shoes are water proof, easy to clean, comfortable and look cute with virtually any outfit. JuJu Jellies come in a wide range of different colours and styles. From £12.99.
