New Bits & Bobs


Hey sweeties,

I thought I would show you my latest small buys. There won't be many hardly any hauls until my birthday because I'm currently saving up,which is the worst experience of my life, for items that I've been wanting for some time. Anyway the purchases...


My first item is another Celine bag look-a-like. The mini Celine luggage tote I absolutely adore (the link to one is here) but its around £900.I wanted a new black bag so I thought I would buy a similar one. I was scared about it being big but it isn't that big,which I'm grateful for. Although I like the outside the inside is horrible. It looks tacky but I think it will be ok when I have my stuff in it. It also comes with a strap that you can take on and off. I bought it for £16 not including shipping.There were many different colours but I prefer black and I bought it from Amazon.








My next items is a printed scarf. I love this scarf the minuted I saw it. The material is so soft and silky and the print are very rich colours. The scarf is small, even though it's folded in the picture. I really wanted it so I thought I'd tie it on a black bag because It would really stand out. It may sound dumb but It would look nice on the bag above and on all black outfit. I bought it from a vintage fair for £3 and there a lot of other bits and bobs that looked cute.


My last buy is these London Rebel shoes that I bought through ASOS. I've never really bought any pointed shoes but they're in for the spring and even though they are black I'm still glad I bought them. They're similar to the ones that I wanted from Zara but I bought these for £20 but the Zara ones are more expensive so they've gone off my wishlist. They are suede so they look quite light in the picture. They're flats and as you can see a strap. It's another versatile item because they're black but if it was another colour I think they would only suit some outfits.
                    











That's all that I've bought so recently. I just wanted to say thank you for the 1k+ views and it's crazy that people actually read the stuff I write. Thank youuu.

Fashionista Friday-Adriana Gastelum


Hello sweeties,

This week for Fashionista Friday is Adriana Gastelum or you may know her from her blog,Fake Leather. She's 24 and a style blogger from Mexico since 2010. Her blog has gained so much popularity over the years and now you see her on various advertisements. The link to her fashion blog is here. It's worth checking her 'shop my closet' link on her blog because there are some amazing items there but a lot of them are out of stock.

As usual I pick 15 but Adriana has 150 pages full of her outfits so if you like the pictures below definitely carry on looking through them on her blog.

Her outfits:






If the blog name doesn't give it away you obviously knows she loves leather. I'm usually not keen on baggy loose leather trousers but in the third set of pictures the first outfit,starting from left to right, she makes them look so nice and in the next picture you see her leather again. She is one of the best for layering. I don't know how she layers leather jackets and a coat and not boil to death but she does it.  You see in several outfits she does a lot of layering,she uses her dark denim shirt as her base in a few outfits.

I'm in love with tartan/plaid coats,I almost love all of them,and I adore the one she has (in the second set of pictures) because the colours are different. Another thing I want from her is her knee high wedge boots they just seem so perfect. She even manages to work double denim very well but some people may disagree.

That's all for this week,if you want me to do a Fashionista Friday on your favourite fashion icon comment below and I will definitely do it. Have a nice day guys.

My February Favourites (Part 2)

Hello guys,

As I said I'm here with part 2 of my February Favourites. These favourites are based on my most used items in my polyvore sets so like my virtual favourites.I've managed to put a lot of them together on one page but there's still some that are not are left. Some of these items I want hence me using them so much in my sets so it's mixed with my wishlist. You can find my sets and more of my items on my polyvore,the link is here.

My most used items:

I'm pretty sure you won't want me to talk about all of them because you'll get bored so I'm going to talk about some.

On the first column,starting from right to left, is a Topshop coat. I love this coat just everything about it,I'm not sure if I already talked about them but I need this coat. In the same column is the acne jumper. In my sets I've used this jumper differently eg on lace dresses,on jeans and with knee high boots and shorts however Acne clothing is expensive so It's just on my favourites.

On the second column is Topshop blue black jeans,I love these because I think this colour works well with all black and the fact it's high-waisted so you can tuck tops in or you can wear it normally. I just love these bags full stop.I really want the Celine mini luggage tote,which is the second bag, because it's so simple and versatile. There's loads of different colour combinations but it's around £900,hurts I know.

On the last column are the shoes that I love. The third boots are the Alexander Wang Sunniva Suede Ankle Boots which I've used so much in my sets. I've used them with shorts,jeans and dresses. The Asos sandals I've mainly used under skirts or shorts,more in my summer outfits.The rings I've used a lot because of their simplicity.

That's all,If you wanted any more info about any of these items or links just comment.Have a nice day.

My February Favourites (Part 1)


Hey guys,

I wanted to show you my favourites from February I know we're in March but it went so quick that I didn't even realise. I've also included my beauty favourites. Anyway on with my items.

  
This is my favourite dress that I own. It's from Urban Outfitters,I adore that shop, and I bought it for £38.00. It's straight down and it's quite loose but it doesn't make you look bigger than you are. I've never had these types of dresses before so It was a nice change. I do love my prints and Urban Outfitters do them really well so I basically want everything when I go into that shop. The print is bright in contrast to the black,Urban Outfitters can be expensive so be warned.I wear it with my boots and leather jacket.

    





My next item is my current moisturiser. I purchased
this from Body shop and I love the consistency of it. Obviously with a good cream must come with a divine smell,which it has. I usually apply this when I come out the shower or when I feel like my hands are dry. Body shop have really good products for the body,I like how a lot of it's natural and that helps me because of my sensitive skin.                                                                        
         




I love this chubby crayon/lipstick. I've used it so much that the writing has rubbed of but I found out what it's called and it's the 'Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain.' I needed a new lipstick and I wanted to go for different colour so when my friend told me to get it I was happy with the product so thank you. It comes out as a deep purple and I apply it with powder underneath for it too last longer. It is in the colour 'Crush Beguin.' It moisturises my lips and it stays on for a long time. I want to try the new matte versions they look so nice.



I've already posted about these before but I never got to wear them until recently so this is a short review for them. They aren't leather which I knew but I find it annoying how the material is prone to marks. For me the height of the heel is enough for me to wear casually and my feet don't hurt until the end of the day. They are comfy and H&M do great chunky boots. They fit to size because previous boots I've had had been small on one boot,it was weird.














This is a terrible picture I apologize,my camera was acting up. This denim shirt is from Zara and I bought it for £16.00. It's dark denim and slightly boyish. It looked big on me buttoned up so when I wore it I left it open and wore a black top underneath. This was the the first time I really layered up with anything and the denim shirt was one of my layers,along with a top and my leather jacket,I boiled. It's really casual and easy to wear. I want to buy a jumper so I can wear them together because I like it when a shirt pokes out from the bottom of the jumper.






That's it for February. I'm also making a post on my Polyvore favourites for February which will include the items I've used the most in my sets and I've fell in love with,it will be Part 2. That should be up this week and Fashionista Friday so look out for them both. I hope you liked it and thanks for reading.

Fashionista Friday-Alexa Chung


Hey sweeties,

This week is another one of my street style crushes,Alexa Chung,she's a model/presenter/journalist. She wins frequent awards for her style and has rubbed shoulders with the best of designers.I would describe her style to be edgy,unique and cute and she is always up to date with the latest trends.

She is very pretty and just to put it out there she dated Alex Turner and they made such amazing couple,anyway her casual outfits that she is snapped with are very simple and cute. When she attends fashion weeks or catwalks she is usually sitting front row with her unique outfit. She usually wears a lot of dark colours and simple prints and they work so well. Let me please be her.

Her street style:





On the first group of pictures,starting from left to right, the second outfit must be one of her well known ones because the jumper and the leather work so well together and it's just amazing. If you look her shoes are always on point and I love the heels that have the fur on them,they're cute .I'm pretty sure would die for that grey coat she has on in the first group of pictures (fourth outfit). Her leather skirts are nice and they look so good when she styles them with a jumper.

That's this week of Fashionista Friday and just to let you guys know sorry for the lack of posts this week my WiFi was down (a.k.a my death) and I'm struggling to think of any posts to do so do comment if you have an idea. You can also follow my polyvore the link is here,I'm very active on there due to the fact that I'm addicted to it and yeah. I hope you have a nice day.

Fshionista Friday-Jennifer Grace

Hello guysss,

A fashion blogger this week.Jennifer Grace is the founder of Native fox the link to her blog is here. Besides being pretty she is a style blogger.

Her outfits on her blog are pure simplicity and sophistication. She sticks to one or two colours for her whole outfit.She's always update with the key items accessories like bags. Most of the time she has a designer bag,which I adore but sadly can't afford even a fifth of them,to finish of her outfit.

I think because she keeps her outfits simple that some people may not like them because they find them boring but I think what she does is great.She has over 20 thousand followers on bloglovin' but I'm not surprised. She's also very active on her Instagram which you can find on her blog.On with the pictures...

Her outfits:





You can see she has a soft spot for her designer bags. She has the ones I love like the Givenchy Antigona,Celine and Chanel. She wears a lot of black,which is amazing, and her prints are simple so I lover her style.

I hoped you liked this week's post and you can also follow my blog through my bloglovin' the link is here.

Brit-licious

Hey guys,

If you didn't know it was the Brits here yesterday. For those who don't know what the Brits they are,it's a award show celebrating musical achievements. It was amazing night with performances from Ellie Goulding,Arctic Monkeys,Beyonce, Bastille and many more. Few of my favourites won which I'm very happy about and just to let you know,yes Beyonce did look like perfection as per usual.

Events like these come amazing outfits even the men looked on point. If you didn't watch it and you love music I suggest you watch it now. On with the best dressed...

Here they are:



With the Brits being yesterday these are not all my favourites because some have not been posted online yet. Any who even though Beyonce just performed and didn't stay for the night she looked amazing when performing, I need her genes like right now. Alex Turner looked very dapper along side,Harry Styles and Tom Daley they definitely were at the top of their game. You should really watch Alex Turner's acceptance speech it  were hilarious due to his drunken state.Elle Henderson looked  mature from her X factor tme and very beautiful. Nicole really rocked the leather and black look and she also changed again for the after party.

There it is. My favourite outfits from the Brits 2014,vey Brit-licious.Congratulations to everyone who won the awards and a even bigger one to my favourites
