Purple Reigns

Purple passion, as been all over the runway, i love this look an as i love vibrant colours on my lip this dark purple i must admit had me a little shy, but after trying the tester i coulnt resist buying it. I’m more for value,but i love how mac lipsticks do last. For some inspiration here are few pics,my own and also please you tube my video on how i got the look. dont be afraid to try it, it suits most skin tones.
on my lips: mac Rebel £14…find it here.

Girl Crush of the month..(ALL HAIL QUEEN RIHANNA)

 

 

 

 

ALL HAIL QUEEN RIRI!

This woman can rock any hairstyle what so ever, that my dears takes true beauty and confidence. As much as people love to hate her I have a new found respect for this woman after watching her Oprah interview, not only was she candid, honest and real, she did not skirt around any questions, and a glimpse into how she’s still Robyn to everyone back home shows me how grounded she is. Not only do i now give her fashion credentials I also now respect her as someone to look up to and have doubt that queen b’s throne maybe getting taken in the near future.
Hope you’re all well, what did you guys think of Rihannas look at VMA’s last week??

SPLURGE VS SAVE

Lots of lovely items are popping up this summer and so are trendsbut its good to balance out wardrobe staples with trend, either style is more important than fashion, be true who you are and dont follow the herd, but be a shepard, heres a list of similar items i put together whatever your budget.

ARM CANDY and PARTIES

We all know from instagram and tweeters galore that theres no need to attend a party if you have your own one going on on your wrist, one thing that has become apparent and that i love seeing become more stylish is big masculine watches on women, not only does it add edge but it means you and you boyfriend can co-share on jewellery.

SPLURGE

This delightful find,Marc by Marc Jacobs Henry Glitz Chronograph Watch  can be bought here:

This lovely pyramid bracelet in gold adds classic edge to any outfit and is quite affordable but for a bracelet seems more in the splurge arena. Noir Jewelry Noir for L.A.M.B. Cone Bracelet.You can purchase this here:

SAVE

I love the verstility of this watch not only is it a leather strap bracelet which is curently in trend it is also a watch, i love the black as it is quite classic and the gold accents. you can purchase this here:

The bracelet above is an absoloute steal, its Marc by Marc Jacobs Rubber Turnlock Bracelet check it out here.

 

ANKLE BOOT
The ultimate wardobe staple regardless of season they transition and are therefore a staple, go chic and add a contrasting white lace sock or knee highs with high waisted shorts or a bodycon skirt. two alternatives in price are found below:

SPLURGE
These Rag and Bone harrow booties are the perfect classic and at the price of £292.05 are worth saving the pennies: find them here

SAVE

These are a great find and with studs already what more could you want, tey can be styled similarly but would look great with topshops signature cigarette pants or acid wash skinny jeans from asos. These can be found here or by clicking the picture below

Flowers and gloom

Had to pop to law school today to tie a couple of ends, one reason I praise BPP is there acknowledgement that since the fees are so high they do bend free coffees and hot chocolate.

It’s hardly been a summer but I have taken to making shorts my fail safe go to in hot weather. That simple tshirt is one of my favourites. It goes with absolutely everything.

I have been trying to get healthier for summer but can’t resist a free hot chocolate with full cream. How have your weeks been?

Tshirt: H&M 4.99
Shorts H&M
Shoes: topshop 28
Bracelet: chamilia
Bag: Zara (barely seen)

Got to have a really nice day as my boyfriend had a day off, we went out for a drink and just took silly photos, I’m making him my new blog photographer as he took a great picture of my entire outfit. What did you do this Friday? The Olympic torch is finally in east London, time to celebrate I think.

SUMMER TRENDS IM LOVING ..and some not so much

Loving the pint trend its been around for a while and is still in full force this summer. Zara has some lovely trousers and sheer shirts which I’ll be putting on my hit list for summer. if your not brave enough to bare all, you can wear a vest underneath. the peg leg trousers are also perfect as although they seem out there, the shape and tailoring bring it all in, so they can be work appropriate, or maybe for casual Friday.

Nothing says summer quite like lace and crochet, iv spotted a lovely dress in Topshop and it also comes in a petite size. This texture is great as you can dress it up or down with leather sandals or minimal flats.

Ermmmm yeh lol, i dont know they are just not me, iv seen people in creepers and they look nice, but i just feel like this is attaching a square rock to your foot, comfortable as they may seem, i prefer a chunky heel, rather than a whole chunk of heel.
