The Style Bubble

Im shoe crazy. like most women right? Or so I keep telling myself. Recently I've had a lot of time on my hands.. ok when I say time I actually mean I'm feeding my baby and trawling the internet desperately looking for new trends/ key pieces and how to revive my style. Zara is one of my easy go to places when I feel this way - why? well I pretty much love most things they sell.. if I could be their walking advert I would.. well I technically am as my wardrobe is Zara full. So on to my haul.. the other week I did an Instagram story asking my followers if I should purchase 3 pairs of shoes I had seen or just the 1.. the results were 84% said to buy them and following that I had many DMs saying to go for it! life is too short. I only know this too well after last years events and thought why not!! These shoes are ALL in the style of Chanel BUT for a very tiny fraction of Chanels asking price - hence why I could indulge in buying all 3!   I am so in love with Chanel a...

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...

A week after New Years Eve isn't the greatest time to start celebrating your birthday. The days are cold and the nights are dark.. This year I really fancied staying in, who wouldn't want to be curled up on a sofa with a takeaway? My last minute Birthday outfit  After much persuasion on Saturday morning my husband took charge and booked a table at "Rum and Sugar". Then it dawned on me.. I hadn't planned any outfits for the occasion. Scanning through my mind I remembered a few weeks back I had ordered a - Simone off the shoulder bodysuit from Boohoo.com. The bodysuit was only £12 and I opted for black as its one of my favourite colours and can be mixed and matched with everything. It is made 95% viscose and 5% Elastane creating a very slinky feel. At first I wasn't too sure but once I had it on I felt it was very complimentary for my figure. I have previously bought "off the shoulder" tops and i I find they tend to ride up. With this p...
