Nailing the Knee High Trend

صورة
Ever wanted to wear a style or trend but been too scared to try it? This was me when it came to knee high/ over the knee boots. I've always wanted to try them but when you are graced with chubby legs like I have; it's hard to find ones that fit. You might have wider calves or thicker thighs or chunky ankles, either way the knee high boot has previously been a tricky style to work with. Thankfully, the likes of River Island , Asos and New Look have all come through this autumn/winter and there are plenty of styles to pick from. Here's a little look at how I recently styled my wide fit knee high boots (currently out of stock). I like the medium heel on these particular boots and the fact there is a tie at the back so you can secure them. These boots don't really budge either. Some styles slip down your leg but so far, so good with these. I have linked some very similar ones below, as well as my other fave picks this season. Photography by JKGPhotography 1.

How to take a party dress from day to night

صورة
The festive period is nearly upon us (it's kind of already started for some) and it's more important than ever to make sure you have lots of festive pretties hanging in your wardrobe; ready for all those christmas parties!  I spotted this gorgeousssssss velvet dress   whilst browsing on the Marks and Spencer's site recently and couldn't resist buying it. I seem to have become fully addicted to M&S this year!  When I first tried this dress on, I envisaged wearing it on a night out but I spotted it hanging in my wardrobe yesterday and thought I'd challenge myself to style it for the day time. Take a look at how I styled it for the day and then by loosing the jacket/trainers and adding some heels; I took this look from day to night.  - Daytime styling - Layering is key ! It's cold out there at the moment so layer your party frock over a roll neck or even a fine knit. Add a fancy bomber jacket . I love bomber jackets like this floral style because they are c...

Styling a statment coat | Part One

صورة
I am normally very decisive when it comes to my purchases, especially when it comes to clothes. I tend to spot something, and if I can envisage wearing it a lot; I buy it. Sometimes it isn't even as "complex" as that. If I like it, whether I can afford it or not; I buy it. When you come across something that is a little bit/a lot more out of your normal price range; I think the process tends to be a little more thought out. I go back and forth a million times, justifying the purchase. This is exactly what I did with this Statement Coat .  I took to twitter and asked the masses. The general consensus was to buy the coat but I sat and thought about a few things...  Would I wear the coat a lot this autumn/winter? - yes Would I wear the coat in years to come? - yes Do I already own something similar? - no Can I justify the expense? - yes... no... maybe? Can I style this coat in a number of ways? - yes The last question lead me to think how I would wear this coat for its first...

We don't always need to flatter our figures.

As women we have been conditioned to believe that the only suitable way of dressing is to flatter our figures. We've been told to accentuate/conceal parts of our bodies in order for us to look good. For me this "style rule" is a load of rubbish and I want to try and show you, that you shouldn't have to exclude yourself from trends or ignore certain styles; just because of your body shape. I love boxy, over sized pieces and I am often drawn to these far more than the figure hugging, body con styles we so commonly see in plus size fashion. If I cast my mind back to the start of my blogging career; I lived in body con dresses. Tight dresses were my "thing" and I didn't really experiment with the shape or cut of tops/dresses. I feel like these "unflattering" styles weren't as readily available to us as they are now and as my confidence to experiment with trends/styles grew; so did my need to try different shapes. I think my love of oversize sty...
