Oversized Fishnet ankle socks black - Miss Guided

Image
The fishnet fad is getting bigger and bigger each day and they are being worn all kinds of ways, under ripped jeans, pulled up and worn high waisted, with strappy heels and dresses. It's one look I've shy'ed away from yet I really like the look of fish nets and yes I wore this look a few years back, in fact I had khaki knee high fish nets that I loved to wear and I found them again. BUT it was time to invest and I really just wanted the sock version. It's crazy enough without being too crazy. So whilst I was shopping in Miss Guided - not the online store, the newly opened shop in Westfield Stratford. I asked the girl working and she grabbed me some pairs from the back, lucky I asked! I couldn't find them anywhere else. I've had them a few weeks and today I finally wore them! AND I loved them!!! I rocked them with a gingham dress, jean jacket an biker boots. It was very Rock chic.... One of my fave looks ... I love it looking a bit grungy....

My favourite chokers revealed - Part 2 - Stradivarius

Image
Since I purchased my first choker recently I then of course really loved the look and yes I wanted more! Seriously this trend is so addictive!  I had a long beautiful summers day shopping in Oxford Street a week ago and I wasn't intentially looking for for more chokers but.... After stepping into Stradivarius and my eyes catching sight of  a pack of chokers..I found myself 5 minutes later queuing up and excited as hell. Why excited?  Wouldn't you be if you were purchasing not one, not two but five individual chokers. For me this means five different styles to create and they are all unique in their own way.  They did have other packs but I chose this because: 1. I love the pack is predominately black - I am loving black chokers, they make your outfit more dramatic and fierce. I am most confident wearing black. 2. There is a variation, some big sparkles, subtle sparkles, subtle beading, delicate beading and of course pearls! The pearls on ...

Monochrome in Milan - my third night in my favourite fashion city

Image
I am the biggest monochrome lover going, I seriously love the contrast of the two colours together and in every trip I take , you will always see a monochrome outfit is packed. This year has been heavily about cropped tops and high waisted trousers and I am a big fan of this look. I have recently felt a little insecure about my body shape and outfits like these have made me feel a lot better. Going to a city I am not familiar with I didn't fancy wearing small dresses or even clothes that were too tight because of the humidity that's why for the evenings I had packed two pairs of high waisted trousers.  The White trousers are from Zara (one of my favourite places to shop) they are cropped, high waisted with a white belt attached that can be tied in a bow. I tie the bow on the side as I felt it was quite a lot of material to go into the middle. They have a rouched hem round the waist and feel quite loose until you tie the belt. The bottom of the trousers are not cig...

Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance - Coco Chanel

Chanel boots  Waking up on Christmas morning I didn't expect to be the proud owner of Chanel boots.  Although my husband is frequently reminded of my obsession/ love/ need for Chanel I couldn't believe my eyes, I almost felt like it was all a dream. When I unravelled the beautiful packaging and ribbons there they were! Gorgeous Chanel boots. Apart from sunglasses, make up and perfume this is my first real piece of Chanel fashion. Designers like Chanel tend to come up small, even though I vary between size 4 (37) and 5 (38) in these boots I am a size 5. The boots are made from extremely soft velvety leather. Bang on trend with their chunky heel and above the ankle I couldn't wait to wear them. Chanel boots detail  The boots are classic with their understated signature cc in gold on the outer sides and have a zip for ease on the inner side. I have only worn them once but already I know they will be comfortable to wear on nights out. I look...
