The Nightshirt

Everyone keeps describing this dress as a nightshirt but this is what makes it so great, the style of a shirt dress and comfort of pyjamas all in one. I can feel it will be worn on repeat all summer.

I have also recently got Instagram so feel free to check it out here, I am hoping to use it to show more of my fashion design work which is my true passion as well as illustrations too. I can feel myself getting addicted following Dazed and ID as well as designers I love like Marques'Almeida and Christopher Raeburn all mixed up with the adorable images of cats and dogs I can find :)

Have a fabulous weekend...

I am wearing TOPSHOP shirt dress, DR DENIM jeans, MISS SELFRIDGE shoes, FIORELLI bag and PRIMARK sunglasses.

Frills

I am not really a fan of fussy details in clothing so frills isn't usually my thing but when I randomly found this skirt at home I was surprised how much I liked it.  Worn with a simple jumper and trainers its an easy outfit for a spring day. 

I am wearing M&S jumper, skirt found in my loft, DIY bag, TOPSHOP trainers and PRIMARK sunglasses. 

Grey Skies

A grey outfit for a grey day...

I don't really enjoy playing with colour in my outfits, I prefer playing with textures and fabrics. Like here where I have mixed suit-like trousers with soft knitwear and leather. 

Posting on here has been a bit irregular recently, still juggling my foundation course, portfolio's and interviews at the moment, but its nearly over, just one to go now- eek- then its decisions on where to go next year. I am thinking of doing a post or two soon more on my work and designs rather than just outfits, so see you with some new things soon.

I am wearing MISS SELFRIDGE jacket, WAREHOUSE jumper, ASOS trousers and shoes. 

Little Bit Cold Outside

My christmas skirt is back in a more casual set up with long layers and a cosy scarf. As you can probably see it was rather cold when we took these so really I need a big warm coat. The wonderful sacrifices of fashion though. 

I am wearing MANGO jumper and scarf, TOPSHOP skirt, MISS SELFRIDGE shoes and DIY bag. 

Snake Boots

Another simple everyday outfit, this time a black and could be oatmeal, could be beige, combination, showing off my new boots. I love their snake print and are so easy to wear to liven up an outfit. What's even better they were £15, which as a student, is a fab bargain. This will have to be short, I have a portfolio to finish and an interview tomorrow (eek), see you soon...

I am wearing ZARA jumper, TOPSHOP jumpsuit and bag and M&S boots.  

Styled with Glamour Wears... Over the Knee

So christmas is over for another year, I am still feeling full yet I am sitting here writing this slowly making my way yet through more chocolate. Thank god for shift dresses like this one here, perfect for covering up any christmas tummies. Wearing black and blue again, a bit of an undecided mixture, which I really like, mixed with my over the knee boots which have been fab this winter- I love anything you can hide an extra layer under.

I am wearing H&M polo neck, WAREHOUSE dress, NEXT boots and FIORELLI bag. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I like to dress up on christmas day not because I am doing anything special, to be honest pyjamas would probably be more practical all day, but just because this is a season where we get to fill our houses with sparkles and cheer. So this year I am going for metallics with this silver skirt which created some fabulous Marilyn moments when taking these photos. 

I hope everyone has a magical christmas, filled with happiness, good food and maybe some pressies too. Lots of love and merry christmas xxx

I am wearing TOPSHOP skirt, M&S jumper, MISS SELFRIDGE shoes, DIY bag and ROYAL LONDON watch

Bonobos Winter Style Challenge

Looks for Bonobos' Winter Style Challenge. Sometimes outfit coordination between you and the man in your life is key especially as the christmas party season arrives so here I have styled looks to accompany Bonobos' new collection of mens suits. I chose two of their winter looks which to me felt like the perfect outfit for a winter or christmas party. I went for dark colours and wintery textures to compliment Bonobos' beautiful mens suits. Finished with heels and minimal accessories for a glamorous style reminiscent of Bonobos' sleek suits. I just need to convince my boyfriend to get one of their suits now...

Styled With Glamour Wears... The Puffa Coat

I don't know what it is but these days the sort of clothing I want to wear is the kind of thing that I would never have worn about two years ago. Puffa coats is one of those things. I never used to like them, I found them unstylish but now I totally love them. I decided to get a short puffa coat as being rather tiny I didn't want to head toward the michelin man look. I also like this one as adds a hint of colour into my looks without being too OTT. Plus totally style aside, its actually waterproof, probably the first coat I've ever bought that is...

I am wearing ASOS Ellesse puffa coat (I bought it here), TOPMAN t-shirt, ASOS trousers, DOROTHY PERKINS heels and DIY bag.

Styled With Glamour Wears... Subtle Textures

Bit of my favourite colour mix here of navy and black with a splash of white thrown in for good measure. In my uni project at the moment I have been looking at textures a lot, specifically boro and other Japanese textures, so I think this is translating into what I wear. I really like the texture of this top, it stops it from being plain, combined with the pleats.

See you soon...

I am wearing TOPSHOP top, DIY skirt and clutch and ZARA boots.

Styled With Glamour Wears... Sensible Shoes

Back with black, my typical combo. I have found that my outfits are tending towards a more casual look at the moment and this outfit is no exception. These are my new sensible shoes which are proving fabulous for my commute to college- not been a single blister in sight and I like the almost masculine look they have (my boyfriends brother bought a pair almost exactly the same just after I did)... Have a lovely weekend :)

I am wearing MISS SELFRIDGE leather jacket, ASOS top, DIY slip dress, POPWATCH watch and TOPSHOP shoes.

Styled With Glamour Wears... Oversized and Comfy

Oversized and comfy is becoming quite a staple for me at the moment and this dress is the epitome of that. It is rather like a massive sweatshirt so is great for this between summer and autumn phase when the temperature is very undecided. Finished with simple accessories while I can still risk wearing sandals.

I have a few posts lined up, being weirdly organised for me, including some LFW street style from when I visited Somerset House yesterday for uni. So stay tuned... :)

I am wearing MONKII dress, NEXT sandals, POPWATCH watch and DIY bag.

Styled With Glamour Wears... Leather and Blue // The Reality of Exam Results

Been a crazy past few days, I am super pleased to say I got my A-level results yesterday and that all the hard work paid off. I got my grades and I am off to uni soon, wooo, reality of it all is sinking in and I am feeling rather happy.

I bought this little blue bag as a celebration to myself today and paired it with a leather and black outfit. My usual favourite combo. See you soon... :)

I am wearing M&S jumper, FOREVER 21 skirt, NEXT shoes and FIORELLI bag

Styled With Glamour Wears... The Boilersuit

Oh the boilersuit, probably not something I ever assumed I would wear let alone just as a fashion statement. Well this isn't exactly a boilersuit, more a jumpsuit that definately has similarities to an actual boilersuit, but is  lightweight, ties at the waist and looks fab with heels... what more could you want with an all in one outfit :)

I am wearing NEW LOOK boilersuit/jumpsuit, TOPSHOP necklace, ASOS heels and DIY bag.

Styled With Glamour Wears... White Midi

Oops a second monochrome outfit in a row, what can I say it is still my go to colour combo. A bit more of a chilled look today with flat sandals and a tshirt. This skirt has been my project of today, it started this morning as my nans size 18 almost maxi skirt and is now my much more flattering split midi. I still need to create a bit of a lining for it as it is rather sheer but I am pleased with the (almost) end result. This skirt shape is one of my favourite designs, having already made it once before here back in April. Although this time was more of an alteration than making it from scratch, it fills the white skirt shaped whole in my wardrobe. 

I also wanted to mention I got a new blog header, woo finally...I have been wanting one for a long time so got my talented uncle to create one for me and I really do love it, the cool font and star is much more me, so big thanks to my uncle :) 

I am wearing MISS SELFRIDGE leather jacket, TOPMAN tshirt, DIY skirt, PARFOIS bag and NEXT sandals.
