  • FASHION/ Wedding/Races -Part 2 – Lacy Skater Girl

    I needed an outfit to wear to tea at The Ritz on my birthday (as organised by the Mr, good job!) after being let down by my original choice. I’m soooo glad, as this was perfect!

    You can’t get much more flattering and girly than a skater style bottom and lace waist panel to highlight your womanly bits! This is very similar to a dress by Philip Armstrong (as worn to High profile race days) but at an absolute bargain price from AX Paris. I completely adore it! And, as with most of my faves, this one also comes in quite a few colours (I have it in another colour which you’ll be seeing very soon no doubt). My chic look is finished with a quilted (Chanel-esuqe dare I say?) shoulder bag and my go to saviour clip in bun (how did I style my hair before it?!?!)

    This is one of my fave dresses of the season – i adore pastel colour, skater style and off the shoulder top (no tan lines, woop woop!). I was inspired a little in the styling by Lilah Parsons by adding a chunkier necklace (my face lips,mmi sure you recognise them by now!) and Converse to make the dress a bit more casual and ‘ghetto’. However, I also popped on a pair of cork heels and my quilted RI bag and wore this to a wedding recently too, so very versatile. The dress comes in sooooo many any colours (I’ve insta-picced a few of my faves below) I badly wanted the mint version but it sold out in my size, boo!

    The bag was a Christmas gift from my mum (embarrassingly for her, she got the colour of my eyes wrong!). It goes everywhere with me from uni to the beach! I like that it’s from a local company as it shows Hull (City of Culture 2017 y’all) has some great talent and entrepreneurial spirit.

  • FASHION/ Celeb Style Round Up of the Week

    I have a very eclectic taste in fashion and style, I like things sometimes even I don’t expect to! There’s been so many people whose outfits I’ve enjoyed this week, but I’ve just picked a few to share

    Street Style

    20140720-084528-31528497.jpg

    Olivia and Miranda are two of my faves, so stylish and elegant. Why am I not one of them?!?! Sigh.

    Evening Style

    20140720-084807-31687274.jpg

    The Whitmore is another of my fash crushes on this side of the pond, always nails it! And can we just take a moment to remember that Amanda is in her 40s and still looks totally bangin’ and summery in this colour printed masterpiece.

    Wedding Style

    20140720-085027-31827258.jpg

    As I said, ’tis the season, and I’m totally not disappointed! My jaw was on the floor when I saw Roch’s frock in the paper this morning at Frankie’s wedding (cannot wait to see the pics of the new Mrs Bridge, congrats!) those shoes…. Mich is doing the best sort of publicity by wearing a dress from her own Lipsy collection (www.lipsy.co.uk) which will surely be sold out many times over by the end of the summer as a result.

    Coming up next week will be some more wedding/race day looks, so keep you eyes peeled!

    I wore this for to the Doncaster races back in March (and the weather was just as glorious then if you can believe it). There’s something about it that’s so different, yet so classic about it, and I think this is why I can see it in my wardrobe for a little while yet! And….it’s extremely purse friendly. It would also look fab paired with a block heel for the grass surfaces at racecourses, and I really like that my bag has that Chanel vibe with the quilting.

  • FASHION/ Lippy

    My lips necklace as featured (in pink and silver) in a couple of my previous posts is in the Filthy Gorgeous sale frenzy, so check them out. They don’t have a website as yet but you can find them on Facebook and Twitter (@filthyGORGEOUS4) and if you live locally they will even deliver, service or what! I like to support local businesses as they bring something different to the community, so be sure to tell them Curious Alice sent you when you visit…
