The Style Bubble

At this time of year its perfect to get out your faux fur coats and really wrap up warm. Each year I love to look for something new but I am reluctant to pay high price tags. Why? Some can be so expensive and when you drag them out the dark depths of your cupboards a year later you might have gone off that look. So this year I purchased my Faux fur from Primark. Yes Primark! I am sooooo pleased with my purchase. I kept dreaming of a dusty pink one but when I set eyes on this light grey I was sold! I have so much grey and I knew I could match it better. I purchased a size 10 as I like it to be oversized, it has a lovely collar and great length where it covers my behind :) Some faux fur coats I feel can't really be worn after Christmas (I know its a weird thing to say) but black faux fur to me screams November/ December. Whereas a lighter colour can take you through to February and gives you a longer life span of wearing it.   For the price I paid I still f...

Autumn to me is all about revamping that work wardrobe. I class it like "Back to school" except I'm not in school.. maybe its more like "Back to work" without the 6 week holiday! Instagram and Facebook are no longer fuelled by friends holiday pictures and instead we see proud parents/ friends/ family members sharing their children first day at school pics. Many people have expressed they start fresh in September like children returning to school.. and I want to put it out there - so do I which means NEW WORK SHOES!! At this time of year I love black work shoes..it works best with all weather types and patent is always IN. The Penny Loafers with pearls where a natural choice. I absolutely love the style of these shoes because: - They 100% remind me of Chanel. - Patent is a classic autumn/ winter must have. - They have this seasons "must have" addition of pearls (this has been mine and my mums signature look for a few years now) t...

Finally boots season is upon us!! Officially my favourite time of year.. I have so many boots but every year I need to get a new pair or two, or three ... ok ok I have already bought two but these are a slightly different style to what I usually buy. They are higher than the ankle and more robust biker style boots. I love the edge they can give to any look and my style for this autumn is to have dresses with biker boots. Why do I have a style? every year I tend to concur up a style in my head and then I go and buy what I can to achieve it. This autumn with being pregnant.. YES pregnant! I have decided I must stay fashionable yet a little more practical. When I saw these boots I love everything about them.. - The length - so versatile they can be worn with skinny jeans/ leggings/ smock dresses/ midi dresses/ skirts.... I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this. I LOVE the gold details on the buckles, usually boots have silver details and the embroidery jus...

To say I am a boot lover is an understatement, I'm one of those people that adores winter for the sheer fact I can glam it up with OTK boots and I do exactly that every year. I love to invest in OTK boots every year as they are a classic trend and I just love everything about them. My latest edition are these beauties from Aldo. So stunning, elegant and rich in colour they really are a winter wardrobe staple and if you treat them well they will last a few years. The colour I have are "Bordeaux" which is a gorgeous deep red. These boots sit over you knee, they have a flat heel and zips at the ankle for ease when putting them on. I love to wear them mainly with tight fitting dresses and skirts with or without tights. This particular colour is my favourite winter colour. Reasons to purchase Elinna boots from Aldo: 1. Stunning statement boots. 2. Comes in 4 colours BUT the pair I have is my favorite. 3. They sit over the knee and have a girly touch...

   Lately I have found I have a paticular style I like to wear at the weekends... Mini skirts, oversized jumpers, knee boots and my maxi duster. With this in mind I have only 2 mini skirts I currently own and really want to expand my collection, I opted for this skirt from Boohoo.com and to be n Honest it was something out if my comfort zone. I know it's currently hot to wear lace up skirts, or lace up anything in fact... So I thought I would order it and give it a go and yes I kept it, it was a huge success. The skirt sits high waisted, it has a zip on the side and a lace up front, oversized pockets and suedette feel in a gorgeous burgundy/ berry colour. I purchased the skirt in a UK size 10 as I wanted it to be a little loose rather than a tight mini skirt, also this helps to have more room on the waist when I tuck oversized jumpers into the skirt. Why head to Boohoo.com now? 1. Available in 3 different colours. 2. Good value for money. 3. Thin material ...

The days are definitely getting colder and now I just want to wrap up warm and feel all snuggled... That's what winter and winter clothes are all about. There is nothing better than warm oversized jumpers and large fleecy blankets, roaring fires and of course your trusty winter hat. I haven't always been a massive hat Fan but over the last year I am slowly becoming addicted... Yes another addiction to add to the long list. This weekend I didn't set out to get a hat but came across one that really caught my eye and after I popped it on my head, pranced in front of the mirror I then joined many other people in the the que and it was all mine.   The hat is grey and black, it has embellishment and the largest Pom Pom. Naturally I couldn't wait to wear it the next day and teamed it with mainly black and my OTK grey boots. Why should you head straight to Primark? 1. Excellent value for money. 2. Classic colours. 3. The biggest Pom Pom and embellishment ...

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...

  Trending right now is all things embroidery, on dresses, jeans, boots, tops, bags...the list doesn't stop! I have really embraced this trend and every time I see something new I really want it.. I am trying not to go too overboard but it is proving to be hard. My latest addition to my embroidery collection is this gorgeous jumper from Bows Boutiques. It's absolutely stunning - the floral detail of colours - green, red, blush pink and nude are a great contrast on the black jumper. The extra special detail for me was the faux pearls and diamonds that are intwined with the embroidery design.. The embroidery isn't all over the jumper which is nice as sometimes having too much makes it more difficult to style.  The jumper has a lovely round neck, ribbed and baggy oversized style, it can be worn slightly off the shoulder. It's great to wear with a pair of jeans and boots to look smart casj at the weekend OR can be worn for a dinner date with faux leathe...

Every year (make a mental note of this) you NEED faux leather trousers in your wardrobe. Why? They are a classic trend every autumn/ winter. They are hot. They are stylish. They can replace your trusty black skinny jeans. They immediately add an edge to your look. Need I go on? This year I have myself took my own advice and invested in a new pair and this pair is from Topshop. And I love them!!! They are tight fitting, high waisted and they have a zip on the side... Do not get me started about the gorgeous warm lining.. Great for this time of year. This time u styled my faux leathers with all black, a gorgeous sheer top and my Chanel boots - very rock n roll biker chic. The trousers would also look great with a oversized chunky knit and flat studded boots, the beauty of these trousers is that you can literally wear and style the, how YOU like. Why you should be investing in faux leathers from topshop? 1. Great price - mid range. 2. Slim fit - they reall...

Every year I love to purchase the latest "in" red lipstick/ lip colour. My collection is quite large and I always tend to steer towards a nice designer red... You could say it's my yearly treat and I find it's well worth it. Saturday's purchase admittedly was an impulse one but its one I am soooo glad I got my hands on! It's new for 2016, it looks so pretty AND it's limited edition. Presenting to you the NEW Diorific Matte Fluid - colour 004 Luxury. This gorgeous lip fluid, looks like a gloss (initially) but you will quickly learn it is more of a lip tint. This colour looks much better after 2 - 3 layers depending on how red you want to go.. I love my lips to be bright red so I went for 3 applications. It's incredibly easy to apply and can double up as a cheek tint which is a fab idea if you have limited space in your clutch on a night out. Why should you invest in Diorific Matte Fluid? ...

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...

Kiko has to be one of my favourite brands, This year it has taken over my makeup bag - I have already bought so much from there and cannot speak highly enough about my brow pencil (already blogged about) or my crayon gloss pencils. Every now and again KIKO run promotions and this is when I found this lipstick. It was a few weeks back now but it's one of those colours that was just coming into season and really caught my eye. For most of this year I have been creating fuller lips with different nudes and really fancied something a little different. The lipstick has pretty silver packaging, very simple, stylish and elegant. It's called - unlimited stylo 12 - burgundy - this lipstick is not only a gorgeous colour but is also long lasting, it has depth and can either look extremely glam or a slight hint of goth - it all depends on how you wear it. I wore it on Friday with all black, a band tee and simple makeup, I felt abit gothic with all the dark deep colours and...

Are you a boots lover like me? If you answered yes - keep reading! I realised just this weekend, funnily enough whilst wearing these boots that Autumn is one of my favourite seasons... Why? The gorgeous colour leaves, green, golden yellow and red all delicately lining the roads is one of many reasons but also the chance to buy NEW boots!!! I love boots. Ankle boots, knee boots, over the knee boots, flat boots, high heeled boots, studded, buckles.. You name it, I love it! I normally stick to black boots and periodically I purchase brown boots but this season I am seriously addicted to burgundy/ dark red so guess what... I bought burgundy boots!   These boots are just gorgeous.. They have gold buckle detail and it's not just for show you can adjust these to your ankle size. There is also a zip on the inner side of the boots to be able to get them on and off with ease. I am usually a size 4 (37) and these are true to size and fit me perfectly. Top 5 reasons to pur...
