One of my fave 90s songs is from this film (French for ‘ready to wear’ check me!) by Ini Kamoze. Feast your eyes on its greatness

So for ages I’ve wanted to get the title put into a slogan top – it’s fashiony, it’s a slogan, it’s me! Rock on Ruby gave me the perfect opportunity
when I picked up this at their event a couple of weeks ago

Perfect casual look for a rainy Saturday afternoon methinks. I’ve been wearing my jumper to absolute death as well so I may need another soon! You may not be able to see in the light but my pumps have sparkly stones on the toes which add a lil bit of off duty glam.

There have been some beautiful celeb style looks this week everywhere around the world, but most have come from The Big Apple where NYFW is in full swing!

Nude, Pink and White Tones

I never thought I’d need to know the phrase “snakeskin Errrthang” but thanks to Kim, now I do! Kendall’s Celine dress is lush but I wish she’d have put a lighter coloured boot with it to keep her look tonal. Danni Armstrong looks the most beautiful I’ve ever seen her (though she looks great most of the time anyways) you can steal the same holiday style by checking out @toriasboutique on Instagram. And I’m just gonna say it – now she’s Kesha (not Ke$ha) she looks da bomb dot com! And my fellow Northern girl Dani Lloyd looks elegant and girly as always. Nicely done ladies

Black n White

My fave colour palette of all time! I may with others every season, but this is where I’m loyal. Sienna, Blake and SJP are SERIOUSLY smokin hot mamas, Blake literally had her baby weeks ago and looks like that?!?! I need to have what she’s having please! Dakota Johnson looks exactly like ‘Ms Steele’ when she becomes Mrs Grey – a little sultry and suggestive but still with a hint of innocence. Even though critics have panned it and I know it won’t be the book (because that would be porno) I’m looking forward to see what they e done with it.

Darker Tones

I like Katie Holmes’ look but can’t help thinking it’s not really her, no? But kudos to her for trying something new, that’s what fashion is allllllll about. And again Kesha, you’re killing me here! Great mix of girly lace and tough biker (who doesn’t like a great biker jacket to give an outfit a good edge) the dress was pretty spectacular standing but there aren’t good enough pics which is a shame. Ferne is a girl after my own heart – fiercely chilled style, and with the fact that she adores fashion and food as much as me. I just wish I’d have thought of her blog name (Fashionable Foodie) first, it’s great!

Hope you enjoyed the round up, I have a busy week writing about Bonnie&Clyde, rapture fiction and hitting LFW ahead!

2 of my current obsessions are funnel neck tops and over the knee boots. You’ve seen I’ve been living in my black thigh high boots but now they have competition from these navy stiletto beauties! I’ve been wearing them allllll the time, much to Mr Alice’s annoyance as he has to keep backing the car up to avoid grass so my heels don’t sink in the mud!

I’m really into this tile print on the dress – kind of cool mix between retro and modern geo. I think accessories need not apply with this look as the dress shouts loud enough.

Dress – Top Shop http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/dresses-442/checked-bodycon-tunic-dress-4017718?bi=1&ps=200
Boots – Pretty Little Thing https://www.prettylittlething.com/sanari-navy-suedette-over-the-knee-heeled-boots.html

I was going to do a Style Picks post from the Grammys at the weekend, but to be honest there weren’t that many looks that I went nuts for this year. Mucho disappointed! But I ADORED Taylor Swift’s dress and was pretty impressed by Nicole Kidman’s demure yet fierce cut out LBD.

Hope you like this look, thanks for reading

I had a cheeky lil trip to Manchester this week which allowed me to indulge in three of my main passions – I got to eat (a LOT) shop with my girl Alex (aka Champagne and Lemonade) and have some fun at the Rock on Ruby blogger event. And I had an awesome time!

Outfit wise, I wanted to do something casual and easy breezy. I didn’t get a proper shot of me in it so I took a pic when I got home. I had a couple of issues with it sadly – my jeans waistband was digging in halfway through the day because I was a naughty girl and ate far too much cake over brunch, and my plimsolls (which I put on to be fashionably sensible as I knew I’d be walking lots) ended up rubbing on my feet and giving me awful blisters! Note to self, trainer socks next time

Head to toe Top Shop

The event itself was at The Font in Manchester, an awesome bar with a wide selection of very cheap and yummy cocktails…which everyone had to sample, just to check they were nice…hehe. The ROR ladies decorated our area to be kitsch and quirky, right up my street. Checked table cloths, retro sweeties/cakes and lots of slogan tees…blogger heaven for Curious Alice!

There was also a clothes swap as part of the event which was a great idea (and one I’m definitely stealing for the next #HullBloggers event in the summer) it was really nice to see my clothes get new homes and I’m looking forward to see how you lovely blogging babes are gonna style them up! I managed to pick up a cute clutch bag that I’ve had me eye on for a while, not only a slogan but DOUBLE slogan! Thanks Michelle for bringing it

And of course, I couldn’t leave without picking up some official ROR goodies. I pre ordered a couple of bits to collect on the day, here’s a sneaky peak but I’m not showing my slogans until I style them into upcoming blog posts!

Typically, I was too busy chatting to everybody and forgot to take some proper pics of people! I managed to take a couple of giddy silly piccies with Alex at the end of the afternoon

I had a great time with everyone, already looking forward to the next one!
