  • FASHION/ Clashing it up…. #selfie

    Just a quick post today on my way out to get some more style inspiration! As I mentioned Carrie Bradshaw is one my ultimate style icons, so today I thoughts I’d try and channel a bit of her in my outfit. In true Carrie style my outfit is a total bargain buy, but unfortunately unlike Ms B I haven’t been able to finish it off with a pair of Manolos! But my cute block heels as just as good I reckon.

  • FASHION/ Sleeves? Nah….

    I’m all over sleeveless jackets this season (a fact that seems lost on my hubby). Here’s how I’m styling mine….

    The sleeveless jacket is boyfriend style, so keeping the rest of the outfit more fitted is a must to avoid looking bulky. I’d add in my black mini satchel or quilted bumbag before heading out.

    The white jeggings are the famous Eden by Dotty P, I struggle to get normal jeans to fit so these are my absolute saviour! I have them in a few colours, they’re as easy on the bank balance as they are on fit.

    It’s going to be a scorcher today so I better add my sunnies!

  • FASHION/ Mono Magic

    I. Adore. Monochrome. There, I said it! I’m still partial to a splash of colour, but I firmly believe that the right monochrome look can actually make you stand out more. This playsuit is exactly what I mean (any it’s also one of my fave prints EVER) and the lips necklace is so quirky:

    Necklace – Filthy Gorgeous, Hull (find them on Facebook and @filthyGORGEOUS4 )
    Sunnies- Primark

    This shirt dress ticks so many boxes for me – it’s not see through, the lace and button detailing make it girly, and it’s soooo comfy! I always get a lot of compliments when I wear it, daytime and evening:

    My other fave prints are tartan and gingham, so this dress is my cheeky lil go to when I want to feel fashionable and casual:

  • BLOGGING & LIFESTYLE/ Makeover time!

    I enjoy a cheeky restyle now and again, I think changing it up can be fun and also give you a little kick up the butt in life. So I’ve given curiousaliceloves a teeny weeny up life inspired by a lovely wedding I attended yesterday. I was seated at The Mad Hatter table, wonder why….

    20140629-134210-49330724.jpg

    I’ve been a busy little diva shooting some brand new looks (with the help of Mr Alice, he’s in the pic below!) which I hope you all enjoy seeing over the next few weeks.

    Until then, Stay Stylish fashionistas

  • FASHION/ Park Life – The Festival Edit

    It’s that time of year again…Glasto is here! I’m not hitting any festivals this summer (sob) but I enjoy looking at the fashions, so I’ve created some festival looks of my own. Cover ups and sunnies, it’s all here….

    Dress to Impress
    A cute little spaghetti strap dress is everything – cute, playful and light to walk around in

    Let Me Take a Celfie
    You may have realised by now that I’m partial to a cheeky slogan tee! And where else better to take a selfie than a festival to remember how much fun you had? The shorts are lightweight cotton and super comfy

    Batter Up!
    No festival look can be complete without a pair of cut of denims..I struggle to get any that fit me well, so mine are some I butchered from a pair of old jeans. The crop top gives the look so e 90s retro cool, and my baseball jacket is all kinds of awesome and very warm when it gets a bit chilly watching the night time acts. The jacket was customised for me by my friend Alison’s company Threader’s Boutique – as well as jackets they do t shirts and fab pictures. The up do is definitely going to be needed after a couple of days of dry shampoo-in it in a muddy field, and for those days I get down on my knees to Lauren Pope for bringing me the clip in bun!

    Colours in my Hair, Don’t Care
    Festival season is the ideal time to go a little crazy and experiment with different hair looks, so I had a play with some hair chalk and embraced a little slime green/ baby pink a la Katy Perry

    So many looks, so little time…think that means a Festival Edit part 2 may be in order for later in the summer. Hope you enjoyed this one in the mean time!
