The Boiler Suit Edit - AW18

Image
The Boiler Suit I think this new trend raises some eyebrows and is slightly like marmite - you will either love it or hate it and thats OK. Not every trend is for everyone but sometimes you need to break out of your comfort zone and be more like The Style Bubble! Last week I hit the shops in search for some new items for my aw18 collection, I'm done with summer shopping and I'm moving on to next season. Don't get me wrong I am sad to see summer go but equally I am extremely excited for the prospect of chilly mornings/ OTK boots and dark lipsticks. Back to the boiler suit.... There I was in Stradivarius trying on a pair of Shorts and an oversized hoody and honestly I hated it.. The skorts were tight and showed too much and the jumper was lumpy....I just feel like since Aria my body has completely changed and I'm constantly trying to see what works for me- I picked up the Boiler Suit just to see what it would look like..not thinking I would actually go home w...

Gucci logo T Shirt by Gucci

Image
  Finally. It's time to tell the story about my Gucci T-Shirt. Those that love Gucci (like me) will have seen this T-Shirt is their latest advertisements and it has created a "lust have" desire amongst fashionistas and bloggers. When I first saw it online I thought should I? Should I not? I then opted against it - even though I absolutely LOVED the retro and "used" style and instead treated myself to something else. A few weeks later it played on my mind so I went back to Gucci website only to see that there was roughly a 3 month wait on arrival of this t-shirt... So again I shyed away. What happened next?? Well call it luck, fate or pure co-incidence... I was visiting Selfridges and I was only just saying to my mum about the Gucci T-Shirt and the fact the men's version was cheaper than the women's. So we just casually looked at the t shirts and suddenly there IT WAS! Right before my very eyes. I couldn't believe it. I grabbed it. Wo...

Oversized long sweatshirt with poplin sleeves from Zara

Image
Currently - on trend are jumpers that appear to have some form of shirt attached to it and I LOVE it!! Especially this one purchased from Zara as its soo differently and yes I lov bring different... It needs to have a wow factor otherwise it's just another jumper to the collection. I was just a the counter when this beaut jumper caught my eye and I ran, got my size and threw it into my pile, Why did it catch my eye? The colour - it looks so fresh. The combo of the crisp white poplin sleeves against the mink jumper. I love neutral colours and this is perfect to wear during the transition of winter to spring. The second reason was the fact I saw some bits dangling off of it and yes I love stuff like that. Either it makes it more girly or adds a hint of "fashionista" - turns out the dangly bits were the ties rouching the poplin sleeve. Does it look dramatic? Yes! Do I need it. Yes! It's mine. Due to bad weather and other outfit choices I haven't te...

Roberta ruffle layered crochet blouse from Bows Boutiques

Image
If there's one thing I really really love... It's ruffles! I am seriously mad about them. They are girly, fun and pretty. Sometimes I feel I don't wear enough girly clothes as I like to keep my style simple and elegant. This top is from the lovely Bows Botiques and is full of ruffles - I just couldn't resist!! The top is totally versatile - I wore it to Afternoon tea with tight black leggings and black boots but this top would also be perfect for nights out with a black pencil skirt and black heels. I definately recommend you wear something tight on your bottom half as the top is fairly loose and full of big ruffles. I am a UK size 8/10 and I wore the 8/10 size and it fit me perfectly. At the front the ruffles stop the top from being see through but at the back the top is plain (no ruffles) and you can slightly see your skin/ black bra straps through the crochet. But be reassured it's not obvious /not that see through and still classy. The top flare...

The Classic cut long Trench coat from Bershka

Image
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...

A little spray of luxury - Decadence by Marc Jacobs

Image
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...

This Autumn / winter grab yourself a hat from H&M

Image
If there is one accessory you MUST HAVE this autumn/ winter it's a hat. Not your typical beanie hat with Pom poms but a gorgeous and super stylish wool hat. I got mine from the Divided range at H&M, when the lady asked if I wanted a bag I said "no thanks I will wear it now" I literally couldn't help myself I love it so much, I walked out the shop with it on. My particular hat comes in 3 sizes which is great as everyone's head sizes vary. It is premium quality of felted wool which is fab to keep your hair warm.   I just love the edge it gives my outfits and can't wait to really be creative in the coming months. Do you need a hat this a/w 16? Your answer is yes and here's why you should buy yours from H&M: 1. It comes in black - this is the best colour as it goes with everything and you can really get your use out of it. 2. Excellent value for a hat. 3. Made of felted wool which will keep you warm and also has a grosgrain band ...
