The Summer Straw Bag Edit

Image
We all love a new handbag, right? Any excuse to purchase a new one, right? Well keep reading! I have you covered. As the seasons change, so should your bags/ accessories.. what looked good in winter may not look good in Summer! So I have ditched my black cross body and recently opted for a floral one (given to me by Krisp) and now I'm on to the Straw bag trend.. one I have been using over for a while now... These bags are EVERYWHERE and if I could have them all I would. I have been watching the trend and a popular choice are the round shaped cross body straw bags which are amazing but I was drawn to this little basket style one and I am so happy with it!! Why a straw bag this summer? They are bang on trend, they complete that summers day look you have longed for and will make a great accessory if you are jetting abroad. The one I chose is light weight, it is fun and it is functional! Need I say much more? I chose mine from Zara, they have a great range when...

The Dungaree Style Edit

Image
Dungarees - you either love them or you hate them. You can look like the coolest person about or a 5 year old and I'm hoping I'm more the coolest person about but I will let you decide. I was out shopping with friend and I was explaining to her that I wasn't feeling comfortable with my style at the moment (I blame the post pregnancy body) and we were having a mooch in Topshop when I laid eyes on these dungarees.. I only tried them on to just try "something different" AND well I ended up loving the style! I tried/bought a size bigger than I am as I wanted the dungarees to be baggy as I felt more comfortable that way.. When I bought the dungarees I had to purchase the top I tried it on with it as I felt it really completed the look. Its also from Topshop and I loved the fact it morphed a masculine style outfit into something a little more girly as the top was cropped and has puffed sleeves. Dugarees look awesome with flatforms (as pictur...

Smoke grey gel nail polish from New Look

Image
Over the last couple of years I have become a super fan of New Looks Gel nail polish. I haven't posted about them before but this weekend I picked up a gorgous colour called "Smoke" and I fancied sharing it. Smoke - is a dark deep grey colour. It's now time to wave good bye to the black nail polish and give red a break. Grey is beggining to really take off is all aspects of fashion and this particular deep grey really adds attitude and sass without being too in your face. This particular range has severL colours and every so often new colours are added BUT I didn't gave this one and do pleased I now do. They offer a 3 for 2 so you can purchase two colours and the top coat polish.   Why do you need to invest? 1. Hottest colour around and on trend. 2. Gel nail polish - it's high in shine and last longer than regular nail polish. 3. Excellent value. 4. Pretty packaging. 5. Great for Spring Get your New Look nails here; Smoke Grey Gel ...

Black Leather - Look Riding Boots from New Look

Image
In the last few weeks I have been on a "Boot Hunt" not a bear hunt... A boot hunt! I have been searching EVERYWHERE to find the perfect winter boots. You may think I couldn't possibly need anymore boots and yes I agree but these aren't for any old reason, these are for work.. So it's acceptable to own another pair, right? ( I keep telling myself that anyway). I had certain requirements the boots had to for fill: - warm - knee length / just under - comfy - black - fit my legs - reasonable price Guess what? These boots ticked every requirement!   I absolutely fell in love, these boots are jet black leather look with gold buckle details. The gold buckle at the top of the boots helps to adjust the size/ width of the boot which is great for me as my legs sometimes look silly in boots as they are quite skinny. They have a zip on the inner side so you can put them on with ease and elastocated back. Riding boots are a classic style and sometimes wit...
