  • FASHION/ Weekly Style Round Up

    its been such a good week for #celebstyle every day I feel like I’ve let out a little “ooooooooohhhhhhhh” when I’ve opened the paper/Instagram/Twitter and seen someone rocking a great look…I had to narrow down A LOT 

    There aren’t enough fire emojis in the world to express my thoughts on J-Lo’s black dress look….I mean really…age aside, everyone I’ve spoken to can only describe it as “daaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmn” (If we saw a girl in our own city/town wearing a tight dress and no underwear I bet we’d think something totally different! Probably because it wouldn’t look like this) miraculously, I’ve managed to find a similar-ish dress that’s more wearable in real life (with underwear) courtesy of Boohoo.

    The other two looks mind if make me think it could all be in the name. They’re very much ‘Jenny’ looks rather than J-Lo boom boom POW, and I kind of (try really hard) to do the same- when I’m chilling behind I’m Jenny, when I’m out and about I’m very much in Curious Alice mode (I can almost feel those of you who know me chuckling to yourselves as you read this) If only the result was just as amaze eh…dare to dream…anyway….this is such a fab idea for a coord, a cute pair of shorts for the boat partay and a ladylike midi skirt for dinner on the dock. This two piece by Boohoo hits the second vibe really well, add in this fierce lil Public Desire turquoise beauties and you can channel yo’ inner Lopez all day and all night loooooooooong. 

     
    Both of Cheryl’s looks feel a little cold weather (which to be fair, it kind of has been) because of their dark palettes, but they’re fabulous and it just means we can play in them til the end of the year! I’m soooooo into her hair right now; I need to learn how to make mine look that effortless cool at all times.

    I really like this Missy Empire waistcoat to recreate the look on the right, short sleeves (or nothing at all) underneath would make it feel it little more summer-ey for August, and these Ego black thigh highs will make you want to embrace your inner Chezza soldier. Awesome.

     
    Jessie J’s outfit is an unusual mix of Japanese calmness and straight up feisty…I’m totally into it! I can’t see her bag properly but the rest of her outfit is high street fash – the dress is by Top Ship but sold out, luckily ASOS do a really similar one, and these caged heels are in full stock as I type over at Missguided.

    Danni’s style is ideal for the weird weather we’ve had lately- the colour palette is lovely and light for summer whilst the jacket is great to cover up when the chill comes. FYI: this is a long sleeve version of the one I’m currently obsessed with (see here and here if you haven’t seen or have forgotten) so you could wear it as a top/dress as well an make it a huuuuuge value for money purchase. This style/colour can be picked up at In the Style and there are jeans like Danni’s available at Miss Pap.

     
    I know I just said Chezza wearing dark colours felt autumnal but all black just isn’t the same, it’s for all seasons baybeee! Haha. I’m so pashing on Miss Meck’s skater dress, it’s all kind of classy and a little cheeky with those sheer panels. I’m heading to the races in a few weeks and I need it baaaaaad! She’s repping it from her own boutique which is now sold out (sob) however you can get the same deign with a pencil fit skirt from ASOS.

    And so we move from ladylike to sheer frickin’ cool…yes Jenner girls, YES. I’m definitely stealing Kylie’s look for my Vegas trip. You can pick up a similar Top and Palazzo Pants (which I already own and was poised to pack before I saw this) from Miss Foxy.

    Kendall’s supermodel style is NAILED in this look; black and showing off her insane figure. Grab a similarly sassy sheer bomber from Missy Empire, super skinny trousers from Pretty Little Thing and fierce gold stilettos by New Look.

    Hope you enjoyed this week’s celeb looks, don’t forget to also check out my dark florals style post here. Next week will be a holiday related post and perhaps a new regular feature…be curious and check them out!

  • FASHION/ The Dark Side of Floral

    You know when you’ve been waiting to wear an item of clothing, you wake up and think “yup, today’s the day that baby’s coming out”  and then….the weather goes all freak-ass on you when you’re out wearing it. THAT. And that’s e a toy why my facial expressions reflect that in these pics! I left the house in what I now know was a rare and fleeting moment of July sun and heat…I’m just glad I had my duster coat with me for when the wind got up. 

      
        
        
      Duck faaaaaaaaaccccce 😙  
         

    The material of the jumpsuit feels really nice so it’s been really comfy for running around in, I’m looking forward to making it part of my Vegas wardrobe.
    Jumpsuit Little Bird Boutique/ Duster Coat Pretty Little Thing (sold out but still available in black, similar here)/ Shoes Ego (now in the sale for £14.99)

    FASHION/ Weekly Style Round Up

     I’m into my final week of chill time…this time next week I’ll be getting ready to start my first proper job in 4 years! Exciting yet a little bit scary, I’m on the lookout for the perfect first day outfit as you read. I’ve also been hard at work with my girls organising a fabulous event for the #HullBloggers – we’re becoming quite the force to be reckoned with up in hurrrrr!! Hehe.

    This week’s #celebstyle round up is super simple and encompasses my classic faves- black ‘n white, with a pop ‘o colour.

     
    This is my favourite Cheryl look of this year’s X Factor auditions – simple, classic  and ridiculously stylish to me. This is an ideal example of how monochrome can stand out more than bright colours when it’s done well! I’m totally coveting this Missguided dress which is really similar for my upcoming #Vegas trip, the slack of sleeves will make it cooler for that desert weather (or even just a decent bit of summer anywhere)

    I want Khloe’s hair. Allllllll day loooooooong. This outfit is an interesting mix of casual and glamazon because of the casual top, switch it out for something in a different fabric and POW you’re ready for a cocktail and some shimmy shimmaaaaaaaay. The look is easily created with this skirt by Pretty Little Thing (described as in the style of Kim K, so it must be pretty darn close) and this Top Shop vest knotted up would get that Khloemoney vibe on fleek. Gotta be honest though, I’m not a big fan of these shoes…

     

    Well done for scoring another No. 1 #LittleMix woo! I really like all of their styles as they’re quite an eclectic bunch, but Leigh-Anne is always great to watch for a good evening look. This chic and sexy jumpsuit she’s OWNING is by on of my fave online brands In the Style as part of #CharlotteCrosby Nostaligia collection. One of my fave pieces in the range too! There’s also a black version which you can see here.

    It’s definitely summer in Pixie’s world- the sun even shines at night for her so she needs to keep her sunnies on! I really like this as a funky yet comfortable outfit for a night out- you could dance all night and still feel fierce. I’d go all in on the zig zag and work this coord by Bella Sorella its perfect for summer and dressing down as well as up – sassy heels for the night, funky trainers.

     

    I really like cape-like dresses like Emma’s because they manage to be fitted and chic whilst still having an element of flowyness, always great for warm weather! There’s a dress that’s a good copy (or so the picture suggests) courtesy of eBay for an absolute bargain. Great choice of shoe, I like the bag but I’m not sure I’d have put it together with this outfit, even for daytime…something in an oversized clutch perhaps?

    Vanessa’s style is always super fierce and I’m crushing sooooooo frickin’ hard on this sexy boho vibe (Courtesy of this pic I pilfered from her Twitter, thank youuuuuu!). I’m delserately trying to find the exact match for me but as yet have had no luck! Wouldn’t mind those fringe boots either…or that bag…help me! So far I’ve found this ASOS beauty in a deeper shade that’ll also take you through to A/W.

    Hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s round up, what looks have been your fave? Don’t forget to catch up with my style posts from the week too – Current go to Style and Made in Chelsea, Styled in Hull

  • FASHION/ Made in Chelsea, Styled in Hull

     It’s July so I’m officially breaking the florals OUT. My beautiful friend Emma, the owner of Little Bird Boutique, has the most gorgeous pieces in stock right now which she kindly let me pilfer on delivery day…yippee! 

    Even though we’re now well into July it was a bit chilly when I wore this beauty, a new addition to the #LucyWatson for Shelikes collection, so I’m really glad I had this maxi duster with me.

      
        
     
      The style of this playsuit appeals because the shorts are more culotte style (no awkward clingage to my massive thighs) and the top half is a double layer (cropping at my waist which is more flattering for my pear shape) so I feel good wearing it. The duster jacket has been something else I’ve lived in since buying it, those of you who are #towie fans may have also seen Lydia wearing it in baby blue. It’s crepey and fabulous!

    Playsuit  Lucy Watson for Shelikes available at Little Bird Boutique/ Duster Coat Pretty Little Thing/ Shoe Boots Public Desire

    (If you like this dainty print as much as me, Little Bird also have it in a Sheer Maxi Kimono and there’s a mixi length skirt available from Shelikes direct.)

    Now the floral print is out, expect to see more of it soon. It’s not groundbreaking for summer but it’s a classic I’ll always totally dig!
