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 :)

Styled With Glamour Wears... Off the Shoulder

Another monochrome outfit you are probably thinking but I can't deny I am still in a bit of a colour phobic phase so is probably one of my personal favourite combinations. Another of my favourite trends at the moment is off the shoulder tops, there is just something so feminine about showing off the collarbone area. 
I paired my floaty top with peg leg trousers to balance out the fabric on top and finished off with my rather beautiful but to be honest not the comfiest heels. I bought the heels for my prom not that long ago and I knew they wouldn't quite last me the whole night but I couldn't resist them anyway :) 

I am wearing TOPSHOP top, ASOS trousers and heels, DIY bag and POPWATCH watch.

Summer Time

I'm back and pretty much free for summer now until I start uni in September, so fingers crossed I will be able to post more often. Since the weather was so lovely today, me and my sister went to our local park to take some photos among the trees and sunshine. Wearing a bit more colour than usual with this floaty cami and my Birkenstock style sandals which I am currently rather obsessed with. I never thought I would wear sandals like this as my feet are rather narrow but they fit just right and are just so comfy. 

I am wearing H&M top, TOPSHOP skirt, NEXT sandals and bracelets from Portugal.

Styled With Glamour wears... Pearl Choker

These culottes are going to become a bit of a regular on here, I have a little bit of an obsession with them at the moment. But I am looking for a navy pair to expand my collection so hopefully you won't have to get bored of seeing this black pair. 
This look is all about the accessories with a plain black base and a cheeky peak-a-boo back jumper. Starting with the necklace, of course a take on the Chanel pearl choker so when I found this high street version I couldn't resist as well as some matching earrings. Finished with delicate rings and my new watch which with its snap design and bright white colour is just a little bit of fun.

Styled With Glamour Wears... Culottes

It finally feels like summer so out come the sandals and pasty limbs. I am taking a break from revision to show you my mid-exams treat with these culottes. I always find online shopping a good distraction from revision even if it isn't so good for my bank balance but anyway I am sure writing about how difficult a-level maths is is not going to be at all exciting, so I will just leave you with this look. 
Adding a splash of colour with this printed blouse, which is just a beautifully draped shape. Black all round lets the greens and blues pop and the relaxed culottes and clutch make this a really comfortable summery look perfect for the heat. Finally finished with study leave hair (read: I rolled out of bed like this)

Enjoy the sunshine, I will hopefully be back to more regular posting soon when exams are over and I have regained the will to put on nice clothes rather than pyjamas :) 

I am wearing ZARA blouse and sandals, ASOS culottes, MUK sunglasses and DIY clutch

Styled With Glamour Wears... Navy and Black

Little bit of a photo heavy post today but I just love this dress. Hasn't been quite warm enough to wear it out much yet but I am hoping I will be able to wear this outfit to my friends 18th tomorrow.  I have to say I am very picky when it comes to dresses and I rarely find one I really like. I like dresses to be easy to wear, the sort of dress you can just pick up, throw on and feel good. And that's how this dress feels to me, it is floaty, sexy at the back in a really not overly sexy way and being a mixture of both navy and black perfect for a slight colour phobe like me. 
Anyway I will leave you with this quote, hope you have a lovely weekend wherever you are...

Modcloth- Uniquely You Campaign

Modcloth- Uniquely You Campaign. My Wanelo collage here and above.

Given this dress image by Modcloth, I knew I wanted to create a look suitable for a summer evening with a bit of an edge to contrast with its beautifully feminine shape and pattern. 
Left to Right:
1- Black peep toe booties- chunky boots contrast floral dress while adding height.
2- Sheer ankle socks- Cute yet sexy addition to the black leather boots, sheer socks visable out top and toes of booties.
3- Wrap around watch- beautiful wrap around watch with leather strap matches boots while adds a classic edge with simple white and gold face.
4- Gold cuff bracelet- adding a glamorous edge with a touch of metallic with this cuff bracelet.
5- Floral tea dress- Beautiful floral base to outfit
6- White leather jacket- matches white base off the dresses floral pattern yet leather fabric adds a tough edge to create a perfect evening look.
7- Circle glasses- fun circle sunglasses fit with vintage style of the dress.
8- Velvet clutch- picking out the mustard colour in the dress, this velvet clutch adds a touch of colour to the look while the velvet again builds on the vintage style of the dress.

All above from Modcloth

Styled With Glamour Wears... Pastels and Black

Long time no see. I have been so bad at posting recently, its almost exam time (monday's my first exam...eek) so juggling revision, school and just life is a tad hectic. But I finish school on Tuesday, which in itself is just too sad/scary to think about, so being on study leave hopefully I will be able to post a bit more in my revision breaks. 
Anyway enough about revision, the sun is finally making an appearance here so I am trying my best to add a bit more colour to my outfits, starting with this look in a nice sugary pink. Sadly not all colour I had to finish with black accessories including these sandals which arrived yesterday. I really love the 'ugly' sandals trend for summer so when I saw these which are a good mix between pretty with the gems and ugly with the chunky straps, I had to order them. 
Hope you have a lovely weekend, I'm off to enjoy the sunshine and of course fit in some revision...

I am wearing FRENCH CONNECTION jumper, ZARA skirt and sandals, MUK sunglasses, LINKS bracelet and DIY bag.

Flashback...

Bit of a flashback post as I found this look which I didn't post when it was taken. Although I think this was last summer I would still wear this now and the background is super pretty making a change from where I usually take photos.

I am wearing MISS SELFRIDGE jacket, NEW LOOK top and skirt, WAREHOUSE bag and CARVELA trainers.
