THE embroidered velvet Zara dress

Image
Im so glad summer is over. I have several reasons why and Im contemplating writing about it all but for now its too raw. Instead I said to myself to forget the summer, forget the fact I haven't been able to blog for a few months and instead look forward to the future..with the future being autumn my favourite season and the fact I'm pregnant. For me this means a new wardrobe, blacks, Burgundy, velvet... you name it I want it. yes I'm obsessive like that. So much so in August I purchased my first autumn dress.. AND its still available. It could only be from one place..ZARA!! I am absolutely loving smock dresses, embroidery is still going strong and throw on some tassels and you have a winning formula. Its navy in colour with the most gorgeous floral embroidery in oranges and pinks - it definately has that 70s vibe. The first time I wore it (so far only time) I paired it with my tanned cowboy boots.. this dress definitely works well with boots as it is on ...

Sweatshirt with flowers embroidered on the sleeve from Bershka

Image
  Ever since the explosion of floral embroidery I have been in a trance wanting it all. However I have held back and only purchased key peices in fear that the trend will pass and I will be stuck with heaps of clothes off trend. BUT then Bershka dropped this jumper and this was one of those items that I permitted myself to have because it is SOOO pretty! It's like a really light mint colour jumper with delicate detailed sleeves. The sleeves are a light dotty detail with gorgeous floral e,broader in blue, pink and green. The sleeves are bell sleeves which seem to huge this year. I wasn't previously a fan but I seem to like them more and more and it really adds to the style of this jumper. I must say it is very girly and is the epitome of spring. This jumper I can team with distressed jeans, pearls and nude colour palette makeup. I can picture it now.   Great value, gorgeous colour, pretty details and epitome of spring - this is this months must ha...

Embroidered floral plumetis blouse by Bershka

During Autumn I love lace and sheer fabrics, they seem to add a little sass yet you still remain elegant. I am not a massive fan of bearing all so for me delicate sheer fabrics and lace are the one. My latest top is from on of my favourite shops... Bershka. Admittedly I did the ultimate mistake of seeing it in store and then dreaming about it (if this happens to you - JUST BUY IT - you can always change your mind later). Luckily I returned and managed to still get it :) yes big sigh of relief!! The top is slightly cropped, it flares out on the body and has stunning floral embroidered detail (bang on trend) I absolutely love how delicate the embroidery is and it really works well with the dotty sheer material. The sleeves are to dye for - so much detail for one top. I am usually a UK 8/10 but I took a size medium for this top as sometimes Bershka clothing can come up a little small.   Why should you invest in this top? 1. Stunning design - delicate and fu...

Make space in your wardrobe for Zara's Military embroidered jacket inspired by Dolce and Gabbana

Image
I'm toooo excited about this jacket and for some reason my blog has been playing up which has delayed me in sharing it...But... Never fear I am back and Here it is. This jacket literally is my life right now.. From my favourite place ZAra and based on the on trend military style from Dolce and Gabbana it is full of detail, full of class and fashion at its finest! The jacket is nicely tailored and size small fits me perfectly, it looks fitted but there is room for a thin jumper if need be. It's style is military (can sometimes be mistaken for Michael Jackson) but what I adore is that it is the military style mixed with the recent embroidery craze.. So that's basically two trends in one. It's is black which is perfect as I usually find military jackets come in navy therefore this makes it easier to style. It has gorgeous red piping, large gold buttons and gold embroidered prints.   The military look comes in fashion every autumn so this jacket is an ad...

The most desirable reversible bomber jacket from Topshop!

Image
Bomber jackets have been a huge wardrobe staple this year and it looks as though the style will carry on into autumn and winter. High street shops continue to produce more designs with more details but this one from Topshop really caught my eye. I already have an oriental patterned bomber jacket but this one has embroidery which saw a return in summer and will be heavily used this autumn. The details are gorgeous - on the monochrome side there is a large Tiger on the back - Gucci has used Tigers recently on their custom made leather jackets and bomber jackets so this really enticed me. The other reason I fell instantly in love is the fact that this bomber jackets reversible! YES 2 bomber jackets for the price of 1! The other side is a gorgeous electric blue!   Even though Both sides look remarkably similar by design the colours are very different. The black, white and red is incredibly striking and I would probably tend to wear this side more in the evenings. Wher...

It's ALL about the Zara dress - Embroidery is going to be huge next season!

Image
I've started to become quite bored of summer wear and as each season comes to a slow end I am super excited for all the new trends to hit the shops. In recent weeks I have found myself frequenting Zara A Lot A LOT! Their new season trend of all things embroidered has taken over the store like the plague and to be quite frank I am loving it. Their styles are hugely based on the likes of Gucci and Dolce and Gabbana but the prices are a fraction and the quality is great! I've already posted about my Zara bag inspired by Gucci and when I bought that I also bought the most sought after and magical dress I could possible own.   I held off from wearing my dress as I really wanted to wear it for the first time for something special and then I realised I could wear it for my first wedding anniversary getaway in the evening! Just before this day I was reading ES magazine and saw that it has sold out! I couldn't believe it.. When I bought it there were so many - I didn...
