The Style Bubble

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...

Winter is slowly disappearing and our wardrobes are soon set to make a transition to spring and we all want to know what the next trend is and I can safely say that Polka dots are set to make a come back and take over the fashion scene. In past years I haven't felt that I am a strong fan of Polka dots BUT this year I am just as crazy for polka dots than polka dots themselves! Why? Polka dots are fun, stylish and can be mixed and matched - whether you choose to dress them up or go casual the polka dot trend has your back..it is an easy, fun and flirty print. so to kick start this trend in my wardrobe I spotted (get it?) this top on Zara.com - the main reason I fell in love with it was the fact its monochrome polka dots. Also it looks vibrant, fresh and great value. Initially when I unboxed it I wasn't too impressed as I thought it would be more like a t-shirt style long sleeve top but instead its loose and soft and I much prefer it this way. The first time I st...

Im embracing autumn like theres no tomorrow. Im already on my second pair of ankle boots - admittedly I bought them on the same day.. I really couldn't help myself. I do have an issue where I see something, decide not to get it and then spend ages thinking about it and how I should have bought it - do you do that? This is how the story of my Zara boots begins.. I saw them in passing when I went to Zara to buy a jacket and I thought I would be really good and not over indulge. Then I couldn't stop thinking about them. I stalked the website and finally returned in store where I grabbed them and ran to the till point. Why did I have to have them? They are sturdy and robust.. and as my sister would say "they look like real bother boots". This autumn I am aiming for that biker chic vibe, my focus has now turned to my maternity look and I am loving chunky boots mixed with dresses.. no doubt as it gets colder I will opt for chunky boots, leggings and oversized...

Back in January my best friend and I discussed attending The London Fashion Week Festival, we both haven't been before and thought it would be a great day out. I was extremely lucky as she bought me my ticket as my birthday present, the silver package and upgraded to front row tickets for the catwalk... So you can imagine I was extremely excited. Upon arrival we were given wrist bands and our package included Vivienne Westwood designed tote bags. As we entered we were 40 minutes away from attending the "Trend" catwalk show so we decided to scope the place out... We saw a few stools and then headed to the show. Scheduled at 4pm we had great seats and it was all very exciting. The show was all about the ruffles and print trend all of which could be purchased at 108 The Strand. The spectators were all taking pictures and filming the show, it was a great atmosphere and I fell in love with two outfits - the red trousers, embroidered jacket and lace top (a...

Do I wear glasses? No I don't. These are my latest fashion accessory. It is a strange one as roughly 5 years ago "Geek chic" was all the range and at the time I had fake thick rim glasses which I loved. Geek chic has recently been revamped with a 70s look. The glasses need to be aviator oversized frames and I found mine at H&M. They are gold frames with a small touch of tortoise shell on the arms of the frames and look very retro indeed. Although I probably look semi ridiculous I really like them!! The only thing I would say is that you shouldn't really wear them for too long. They make a great statement and really add to the look I created at the weekend. Why should you channel your inner 70s? 1. Hottest trend right now. 2. Excellent value for money to get the look for less. 3. Adds intelligence to your look. 4. Great for an evening out if your heading somewhere trendy. 5. Can also be worn daytime. Get yours here; Aviator...

This weekend was my birthday and like every girl on their birthday - you want something new to wear (any excuse!) However I was in a predicament - it was a surprise where I was going and I didn't know how to dress. Of course being Christmas and new year I had left it late to purchase an outfit. I raced to Westfield on Friday night and looked for 2 hours and left empty handed! I'm not keen on sales and everything and everywhere was ALL about sales. until I remembered a dress I had seen in H&M a week back and I think it had stayed on my brain because that was what I wanted all a long. So Saturday morning I went back and bagged the dress.   I literally love it. The rose colour, the velvety feel, the wrap front, not too tight, bow detail and bell sleeves.   For a spontaneous outfit I would have to say this was the best and I'm so glad I went for a dress as the surprise turned out to be a surprise unicorn birthday party for meeee :) Reasons...

This lounge suit could be a serious game changer for your wardrobe and not just for this season! Lounge suits are timeless and this one from Bowsboutiques.com is the perfect combo of stylish and comfort. By the way I love both aspects. I have bought a couple of tracksuits this year but they tend to look super casual and sometimes I want to feel comfy but still look stylish. Bowsboutiques.com gave me this gorgeous one and I have a feeling I am going to get soooo much use out of it. It comes as a two piece suit, it's soft and elasicated. The top is oversized and the bottoms are tightly fitted and has a popper button on the sleeves and a cluster of popper buttons down each side of the top which is lovely added detail to the lounge suit.       When I wore my lounge suit I wanted to look a little rock chic so I wore studded biker boots and a black choker. This suit is great to lounge at home, pop to the shops or style with heeled boots, the options are en...

This weekend was my first weekend I truly became excited about the change in weather.. In London it became much colder than recent days and I kept thinking its time to layer up! I am a MASSIVE fan of over the knee boots (OTKB) they are a classic style each autumn/ winter and this weekend I created two looks with my flat OTKB's. I currently own 4 pairs - 2 are flat with one pair being grey and one pair are black lace ups, I also have two with heels - one dressy and one with chunky rubber heels I purchased last year... See mine are old but it's a great reason to invest... I wear them all year after year and the beauty is all high street shops stock different styles and colours.   I decided to keep the same theme for both Saturday and Sunday and that was; - chunky knit jumper - mini skirt - over the knee boots - maxi duster coat From my pictures you can see that I alternated  my skirt and jumpers for each day.. Cream chunky knit jumpers are awesome for Autumn/ wi...

As you might of guessed I am a HUGE fan of Bershka.. I love the shop and can't get enough of their trends each season. Some trends however I like to keep classic and "The Trench Coat" truely is a classic every autumn. The coat was used during the war and created specifically for soldiers and was mad iconic by top designer brands (are available in their stores in different designs all year round) Whereas the high street shops realease their trench coats late August and early September. When I saw this one from Bershka I really loved it... I mainly want to use it for work but no doubt I will be rocking it at the weekend too.. Here's why I reccomemd this trench coat from Bershka: 1. Classic style you can wear each autumn therefore you need to invest in a good quality Trench. 2. Good value and good quality - this in my opinion is mid range. There are quite cheap trench coats and also some very expensive ones.. This is your in between. 3. Classic colou...

Every time I go away or my husband goes away I tend to buy/ receive a new perfume... So much so my collection is growing faster than I'm using them.. And my beautiful glass shelf in my bathroom is becoming quite congested! My recent purchase and new found love is a special perfume by Marc Jacobs and the beauty about this one is its too precious for my glass shelf and instead has taken pride of place on my dressing table... Ooh special I know! The perfume will now always remind me of my trip to Santorini as it purchased it on the way back as a little cheeky treat and this perfume is - Marc Jacobs - Decadence. Decadence - meaning " unrestrained or excessive self - indulgence" That's exactly what this perfume is, its pricey, it comes in a gorgeous green velvety box with gold writing. The actual bottle itself is pure luxury.. And resembles Marc Jacobs iconic shaped bag with a gorgeous gold chain and a black silk tassel.. Can you see why it deserves to be on m...
