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

  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...

Aviator fashion glasses by H&M

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...

PRIMARK retro 70s floral print shirt - Excellent value for money

Image
New season, new clothes....but this time I'm talking workwear. I love being creative with my workwear, recently I have added ribbons and brooches to up style old shirts and whilst I am loving creativity and the looks I've  created, I fancied something a little more loud. Recently we have seen embroidery and gingham taking over the high street shops and I have been craving something different. PRIMARK... Is where I found this gorgeous chiffon shirt.. I picked it up and knew it would look fab with all black and touches of gold.. There I was ...sold, it's mine. Looking into the details it reminded me of the pyjama look that is hot right now, where the top has black piping around the Edges it definitely resembles the look. It has material attached to create a stylish bow, pussy bows are a massive hit, I'm bow obsessing atm. I chose size 8 - this material /look is meant to hang off you... so I was pleased the 8 looked great as I am usually size 8 -10 in tops....
