Party Season - NYE/Day Outfit

Hi everyone,

I know, I know...I forgot to post on Christmas or before saying it on my lush post but Merry Late Christmas!! Hope everyone had a lovely day and continue to do so over the holiday season..what I didn't do this year was the 'Party Season' Post! I like posting outfits to wear for parties and just girly nights out so I have decided to do one just before 2014 for New Years Eve & Day, I hope everyone likes them and if not just have a look around the sites I have visited and you will be sure to pick one, especially with all these boxing day sales! Enjoyyy... Happy New Year when it comes!! I hope 2014 is good to us all! :)


So I'm gonna start of with NYE outfits because they are kind of more 'Party Season' because there is so many events and parties to bring in the New Year, of course there will be still some going on New Years but most of the time people spend it with loved ones going out for nice meals so there will be a different take but there will be some sparkles still added in...


NYE:

Phase Eight Collection 8 Aretta Sequin Dress, Gold

Black Sparkle Velvet 3/4 Sleeve Bodycon Dress

Madam Rage Red Contrast Peter Pan Collar Tartan Dress

NYD:

Red Crush Velvet Skirt

WITH/

Black Velvet Tee

I think this outfit would be great for a meal out with family or friends.

Mollie King's favourite: Tilly Embellished Shift Dress

I think this dress is good if your heading out later in the night

Floral Playsuit with Long Sleeves

I think this Playsuit is gorgeous for a girly night

Autumn/Winter Weather: What to wear?

Hello Readers,

Struggling to find the perfect outfit for Autumn? or just wanting to keep warm but comfortable and stylish for the cold weather? I have some great ideas for all of you ladies...I am a leggings girl when it comes to this time of year, I don't know about anybody else.. I do where them during summer with dresses the odd time but they aren't longer ones so I can still keep nice and cool with the sunshine, but as we are coming into Autumn- living in the UK especially, the weather can be difficult to work around what clothes to wear? So ask yourself this: In general what makes you comfortable and stylish & what is your weather mostly like at this time of year?! Then you should find a little solution to your fashion problems. Living in Scotland is extremely difficult because the weather is like bipolar and that is genuinely the only way to describe it because sometimes we get really warm in winter, then really bad heavy snow to freezing rain, it can't make up it's mind! So you don't really know if half way through the day it could turn warm and stay like that which kind of sucks, so first of all I would say carry a light jacket with you if you think the day might change or wear a light top with a knitted jumper so it's a mixture but perfect for when the weather changes. I will give you guys a few a ideas of what I have in mind for this season and you can go from there... (also you can check out my winter post here from last year because it may benefit some of you)

ASOS Studded Longline Washed Parka was £90, now £63! Out of stock at the moment but should be soon to go back in for the upcoming season so make sure you 'save for later' 

Warehouse Black Pocket Jegging at £36 you can also get leggings here at £14 but I do know some people prefer heavier clothing because of rain and just getting cold isn't very nice so these would keep you warmer. 

Oasis Floral Print Collar Shell Top at £35 and then you if the weather gets more colder as the day goes on you can put this on over it here which is a black cardigan at £38 and I definitely recommend Topshop for cardigans because I have had one out there for years and they really do keep you warm. There is also the option of a nice jumper from New Look here at £35.

ASOS Aran Jumper Dress at £42 and you don't even need to wear it as an actual dress because you could wear something underneath top or bottom or both and again this mixes up with the weather. 

Lilley Womens Military Lace Ankle Boot in Black at £25 from Shoe Zone, these are my personal favourites when it comes to Autumn/Winter, they last all the way and are sturdy for the snow, what is also good about these boots is that they have a mini - heel on them and they are still comfortable, I really am not a heel kind of girl so this makes up for it, right? I'm just gonna say I'd like to think so aha!

***Part 2 of my 25 things should be up this week***

My new Leopard Print Satchel

I do have a few leopard print bags already but when I came across this a couple of days ago I had to buy it! I got it for just £3 from a local Gala in my hometown, as everyone knows that reads my blog I am a huge fan of everything leopard print and always think you can't have enough so why not add more and that is why I bought this. I think this bag will probably be in stores like New Look and Matalan for any one that is interested in purchasing it. Satchel bags are clearly the 'in' thing now but there also good because in small bags you can't fit things like your books, a huge purse in etc so this bag gives you that space.

My new Leopard Print Fashion Top from New Look

(I done a print screen of this from the zoom in shot on the New look page)

Everyone that has being following my blog will know I am a huge leopard print fan and as I went shopping recently for new shoes I came across this top and my mum bought it for me! I love it. It's got leopard print down the sides and it is sparkling embellished, it has a red strappy heel with leopard print detail and the city behind. The top is from Cameo Rose and I bought it from New look if you click here for £12.99, It's a brilliant fit and it even says on the New Look web page [As Marilyn said: ''give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world!''] - so true, isn't it!? The top is sold out at the moment but I'm sure it will be back in stock soon.

Wrapping Up For Winter - Fashion must haves!

Are you starting to feel the cold air in the mornings when heading to work and college? I definitely am, so I thought I would make a winter checklist of all the clothing I just might need during the chilly season. Not too expensive, but definitely not so cheap that my new jacket turns out to be so thin that I get drenched in the rain, I’ve tried to go for a happy medium on the prices.

I know most people now prefer online shopping, but I do like going the odd trip into town, because I can try my picks on there and then rather having them delivered to my home, hating them and having to return them, only to go through the whole cycle again. If you think I’ve missed anything from my checklist just leave a comment and I’ll add it in!

there is no such thing as ''never too much'' / Leopard Print Style

          

Sooo..I've never done a post with me on it(as in picture) since starting blogging as I don't feel too comfortable with putting pictures up of myself for obvious reasons when you see the above photo. I have told all my readers that I adore leopard print and thought I'd show a little of my love for it to you guys, I didn't bother with any make-up or my hair so be-warned! I have on a leopard print top with a peter pan collar, leopard leggings, leopard bag and brown winter boots(even though we still have autumn to go, living in Scotland sucks as we get winter practically everyday haha) so you gotta wrap up warm! If you have any leopard print posts or loves then feel free to leave a comment with links. I just wanna also say that it doesn't look that good in the picture but if you see someone wear it in person it will look much better, sorry for the blurry pictures - I have a rubbish camera!

Miley Cyrus and Kylie Jenner's White Lace Skirt

Recently Miley Cyrus and Kylie Jenner were spotted out and about wearing two different white lace maxi skirts, Miley had hers over a short white skirt and Kylie chose to put hers over a pair of white shorts that you can see her other friend had on as well but chose not to wear the white lace maxi skirt over them. I much preferred Kylie's look though. I really love these skirts because it means you can mix and match and also put them over other clothings. My favourite was Miley's though as her's was an actual skirt underneath but I would of preferred it if they made the inside skirt at least a bit longer because it looks like her it could be more like her knickers by how short it is! You can get this lace skirt in black and white at New Look. It would also be good for the summer because it will keep you cooled down.

Amanda Holden shows off her new black and white leopard print heels

Amanda Holden was spotted leaving the Britain's Got Talent auditions in a pair of eye-catching black and white leopard print heels, the pair had quite abit of heel on them but they still looked pretty comfortable to walk about in. I am a HUGE leopard print lover and had to blog about this! I do notice that Leopard print heels are becoming really big in the fashion world right now and alot of celebrities are showing them off when they get papped out and about so it's no surprise, but I really thought these were gorgeous.You can buy them in stores now, I am not a fan of buying heels online because I can never get my size right, so I do prefer going to the store, Check out New Look and Debenhams or any top stores you know that sell good heels.

In the trend: Leopard Print Leggings

Leopard Print Leggings have been in trend for quite a while now, It's certainly a hit with the celebrities as you can see above with the likes of Cheryl Cole and Miley Cyrus. I adore Leopard print as you would know from previous posts but these are definitely my new favourite, I bought a pair from New Look and they look really nice on, you can see a vary of styles for leopard print leggings on there too, there was a red pair not that long ago and Jesy (From Little Mix) had them on during the time she was spotted out & about when on the Xfactor, they look really nice too and I am sure they will be back on sale soon just because of christmas everything is near sold out. Amy Childs at the top has a totally different style with see-through slashes in the middle right down to her ankles which also looks pretty nice.

Newest Trend : Peter Pan Collar

'South Bow Print Peter Pan Collar T-Shirt'

'Camel lace peter pan dress'

'Blue peterpan knitted tunic dress'

'Cream lace peter pan top'

I love this style, It makes us girls look super cute with that 'peter pan collar' and it's good that it's not just dresses and tops, you can actually get them in jackets aswell, but i would wear that for something special or just for a non rainy day. I love the laced look with them collars aswell and Lace is such a massive trend right now too, has been for quite a while, especially with blouses. 

Boots, Boots, Boots! Where to shop?! Have a look here...

ASOS  - Crepe Lace Up Ankle Boots  : £56.00

Oasis Stores - Rosario Western Leather Boot : £75.00

New Look - London Rebel Ribbon Brogue : £34.99

These are just some examples, but you can try places like H&M, Matalan, Dorothy Perkins, Lipsy, Monsoon, Topshop, River Island - High street fashion basically and you will find the perfect boots you are looking for! I know alot of people sometimes forget when they go out- what shops to go into, what i do sometimes is take a little note, and just pop in each shop have a scan and if nothing seems to shout out "TAKE ME" then go to another shop and do the same, I'm sure you will find something that will make those legs look sexy!
