Jumpsuits: The most versatile item in your wardrobe

صورة
Jumpsuits have made a reappearance over the last few seasons and I for one am very happy about this. The jumpsuit was a style I previously used to shy away from; but...  how could I ignore something that is so stylish as well as being so comfortable? Finding the perfect fit is paramount to falling in love with this style. I promise you though, once you find one that you love; you'll never ignore this style again. I recently wore this Ember Jumpsuit from Studio 8 * to Curve Fashion Festival back in September and I've not had it off my back since then! The thing I love about jumpsuits is the fact you can dress them up or down with very little ease! Here are my top 3 reasons why jumpsuits are the best ! Comfortable: Ladies, they are like a posh onesie. What's not to like?  Versatile: Wear with them dressy trainers like I have in this style post or dress them up with killer heels and a clutch bag. Layering: Jumpsuits are perfect for this time of year. You can pile on the ...

How to style a party dress for the daytime

صورة
We all have those party dresses hanging in the wardrobe that only come out at Christmas time or for your best mates, 80s revival birthday party. You know the ones? They are neglected for 3/4's of the year and if I'm honest with you; I totally forget they are there half the time! I was kindly sent a few bits from Simply Be and one of the pieces I thought I'd show you is this incredible * Embellished Cami Dress . I had visions of wearing it during the festive period and spilling bottles of prosecco down it, but when rooting in my wardrobe the other day; it fell to the floor who am I kidding it was already on the floor thanks to my floordrobe and I gave myself the task of turning this statement dress into something a little more wearable. I did this recently with a statement jacket in this post and I enjoyed the outcome I must say!  Wearing a slip dress, wether it's embellished or not screams 90's to me. This is especially true when layered over a T-shirt. Once I...

Buying Glasses Online | Useful Tips

صورة
When I was younger, I lived in contact lenses and hated wearing my glasses. I just couldn't find a shape that suited me and there just wasn't the wide selection of frames that are available now a days.  I had to stop wearing contacts religiously a few years ago because my Fibromyalgia gives me dry eyes and I struggle to wear lenses for more than a few hours now. This is where beautiful glasses come into play. I make sure I treat my frames just like any other accessory I would wear. I take pride in finding fun, quirky frames and where better to do this from than the comfort of your own home? If you have yet to enter the world of buying glasses online; take a look at my tips for finding the perfect pair for you. 1. Is your prescription up to date? If it isn't, you're going to find yourself falling at the first hurdle. Make sure you get your eyes tested at least once a year and keep a copy of your prescription to hand. 2. What's your budget?  The best thing for me abo...

8 Wide Fit Boots You Need this Autumn

It's bootie season! Hurray! I was inspired by Gracie's blog post ( here ) and thought I'd put a post together featuring some of my fave Wide Fit Boots.  Now, I'm not going to lie and say that I'm totally happy with the selection we have available to us; as I'm not. Where are all the gorgeous embroidered boots? Where are all the lace up knee high boots? I have seen so many of these available in standard fit, I'm just praying we get some wide fit options asap! Anyway, I don't mean to be a negative nancy as we do have some beautiful boots available at the moment so without further ado; here are 8 of my favourites... 1. Knee High Boots 2. Silver Brogue Boots 3. Heeled Sock Boots 4. Snake Print Flat Boots 5. Berry Square Toe Boots 6. Perspex Heel Boots 7. Tan Ankle Boots 8. Sparkly Block Heel Boots Where do you like to buy your wide fit shoes from? My favourite stores are ASOS and New Look  but I am *SO* excited to see that River Island and now Boohoo both...

Giving a statement jacket a daytime twist.

صورة
I shot this look a little while back but then September happened & it just went a little crazy for me. Now that it's a little quieter and my LFW looks are all posted; here is my delightful, fringey, pinky look. Take one statement tassel-tastic jacket and team it with casual daytime pieces and you've got a winning look (in my opinion).  I love taking a really 'wow factor' item and dressing it down. This Elvi tassel jacket sadly sold out pretty fast but you can still find the skirt version here. Lets hope they restock it! For an alternative look; try a sequin jacket, slogan T-shirt and jeans. I also love styling a glam kimono jacket in this same fashion. Items previously associated with night time looks shouldn't just be kept for when it turns dark!  The silky satin * shirt I've paired with this jacket is just gorgeous ! It was ironed pre-blog shoot but I somehow managed to make it look like I slept in a tent. Tent Chic...could that be a thing? The shirt is ...
