My First Ever Styling!

Thought i'd keep it in the family for my first 'proper' styling that I was actually able to document and get to tell all you lovely people about! 

I styled an outfit for my younger sister Kelly for her friends birthday party on Friday night. As she didn't have time for tan etc the most important part was tights (as I do live in Scotland and its bloody freezing already) apart from that I had free choice! 

So here is want Kel wore - 

Sorry for the bad quality of photos but it was pretty rushed since she did have a party to go to! But all these pieces are gorgeous separately and super versatile. 

Top - Topshop

Skirt - H&M

Bag - New Look

Necklace - H&M 

Shoes - Primark 

Also apart from looking gorgeous in these pictures she is also sunning it up in Tenerife right now! SUPER JEL!

Thanks to my lovely sister for letting me style her and trusting me to find her an outfit, will definitely be borrowing this one..thats what sisters are for after all!

A/W Trend Alert! A Girls Best Friend.

I'm super excited about the trends with A/W!

Heres a few of my fav trends with some high street items that are just too trendtastic for words! 

Starting with:  
 

JEEEEWELS! As seen at Celine, Dolce and Gabbana and Erdem. But sadly all those beautys have a designer price tag unlike these... 

 

 H&M 

Pair with grey jeggings and light blue heels for a glamorous touch.

 

 

Topshop 

Match this delicate swing vest with a tight midi skirt and gold heels and simple clutch.

 

ASOS

This dress has been on my wish list for faaar too long now! Its by Needle & Thread but sold on ASOS. Sadly with its £150 price tag its out off my reach (even with my student loan) 

lots of love

Autumn Must Haves!

Here's a few of the definte must-haves during Autumn (which is my favourite time of year) 

I can not wait till it gets that little bit colder for my big wooly jumpers, fur coat, toasty hot toffee nut lattees on the way to uni in the mornings! Also I personally believe that I reeaally suit most types of hats and this is amazing hat wearing weather. Fact. You will see a hell of a lot of selfies on the new Style Addict Instagraaaamm! (@__styleaddict) 

1) Boots! 

I have black heeled boots from River Island that I bought last year and they are perfect, they match with mostly everything, are short enough that you can match your ankle socks with your outfit but long enough that they dont look silly with ankle grazer jeans, trousers etc. So yes invest in a pair of ankle boots! 

2) A burdangy lip stick

..what a beautriful colour for this time of year, it works well with the navy and mustard colours that just screaam autumn! I suggest :

MAC Matt Lipstick in shade Yield to Love. 

 

 3) An addictive tv series

In other words invest in Netflixs for all those cold winter nights all youll want to do it lie in bed, put on a face mask and chill out watching a crazy adictive series. I recommend Suits, me and my boyfriend are obsessed with this atm. 

4) A good hair treatment

My hair always seems to go mega mega dry during the colder months, but when I was in the hair dressers I was given the recomendation of pure coconut oil but its in a serum from Savers! Super affordable and cheap will definetly be stalking up on that over the coming months, you just run it through your hair either damp or dry for a smooth finish. But Salon Services is a great place to pick up hair masks too.

5)  My All Time Favourite...Sationary!! 

I went a little mad in Paperchase today buying note books and the like for going back to uni next week! 

I mean how CUUUTE are those little panda highlighters?!

What are your autum must haves? 

lots of love

My Parisian Style Diary

Hey guys, finally got a chance to grab my boyfriends computer for a couple of hours to get a few post done about my amazing trips over this summer. As you guys already know I was super fortunate enough to have spent 3 whole weeks in Madrid. But I also spent 4 days in Paris, France with my amazing boyfriend at the end of July! 

Just thought I'd share some of my looks with you guys...

...I might just actually be an outfit repeater!! But its okay, its holiday clothes, worn in a different country...please tell me its okay!

But i really do adore this outfit from Berska! 

Eeep! My favey Zara silk  Moroccan style dress, looked amazing on the Eiffel Tower at night! 

This dress is actually one of my purchases in Manchester from Topshop, as it has an almost two piece design it definitely flatters my body shape atm! (Which I will do a haul of ALL of the amazing things I bought that weekend)

I am so gutted I didn't get a full length shot of this outfit because I LOVED IT! It was my little H&M striped crop top paired with a white midi skirt and nude heels...I will defs be wearing this again!

Lots of Love,

Summer Outfit Ideas

Hey guys sorry I haven't been on the blogging scene lately, I seem to drop in and out every so often because of work and the like. But I have been itching to write a blog about the pieces I'm going to feature today for a while. They have been on my "Summer Wish List' (mostly screen shots on my iPhone).

Heres a simple but chic way to work bold prints during the summer months whether you are travelling abroad or enjoying the wonderful British summer time! 

Firstly, this beaut white crop top by Pull&Bear, a brand I found on ASOS recently. 

I really like the structured look to the crop top and the little triangle cut out makes it stand out and gives you the opportunity to show of more of your gorgeous tan!

This absolutely fabulous bold print full of delicious-ness skirt is from H&M, their Trend collection is TO DIE FOR this summer! With so many interestingly unique pieces that you wouldn't really find anywhere else on the high street at such a reasonable price.

There is also a crop top with the same print for all you co-ord crazy folk out there! I just think it is a gorgeous classic style skirt that would flatter most body shapes. 

Now for my favourite bit...Accessories! 

I do love experimenting with accessories with outfits because I feel thats what totally defines it.

This LuLu Guinness is just FAN-tasitic (you'll get that pun in a sec). I think with the red print skirt it almost gives off a Spanish dancer vibe and when I saw this clutch it was a must have for this particular summer outfit idea.

Ahhh! Don't you just LOOOOVE IT! 

Finally a little pair of black strappys from Zara, with such a thin ankle strap it won't cut off your legs and make you look short, it will actually extend your legs as straps almost "wrap around" the foot instead of cutting it off. 

These little add ons will just give it that vava vooom you need for maybe a night time affair 

MAC Lipstick, I mean I am no make up expert but you really really can't go wrong with Russian Red MAC lipstick! 

Pull your hair up in a high messy bun and put on a pair of these honeys! 

... 

If only eh! A pair of Dior sunglasses! 

There will be many more of these blogs to come guys! Since I am preparing to head to Madrid for 3 weeks during summer to study of course outfit choices will be my main priority! So there would be a few little post purchase blogs, and if any of yous have been to Madrid let me know of super fashionable places I can visit!

Soo Delish!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while! Been so busy with work and uni, but thankfully that's university all finished for the summer so I'll be getting back to my weekly posts! 

As you may know from my personal social media sites I am going to Paris in July with my boyfriend. So trying to find outfits for our 3 night stay in Paris and our 2 night stay in Manchester is proving difficult since I want to buy about 100 different outfits and all with shoes to match! So every week I will post a Paris Wish List and maybe some information on what we will be doing in Paris, where we will be eating, shopping and having an amaaaaazing time! 

Also recently I found this beaut website called Yumi, that sell the sweetest little dresses perf for summer! 

Just like this flowery number! Which also comes in a dusty pink colour, but I do particularly love this blue its so on trend right now! and its down from £55 to £44 right now. 

Perfect for walking around Paris on a sunny day in July, don't yah think?

Paint Box Delights

Since it is such a wonderfully sunny day in Glasgow I'd thought its keep it bright and happy by letting you guys know how to keep bang on this seasons trend of "Paint Box Delights".

Im gonna show you guys a few key pieces to me the total painted lady!

This trend has been seen all over the Catwalk from Celine to Chanel.

With this gorgeous Chanel pantone palette quilted bag, a unique twist on a classic piece. 

Also this outfit from Celine Ready to Wear collection, totally thinking outside the "paint" box! 

AND!!

As I was researching for this blog I came across this amaaaazing amazing buy!

A complete doppelgänger of the Celine skirt in PRIMARK FOR £8!! 

There are two key places I have seen doing this trend very very well and thats ASOS (of course) and Zara, the leaders in fashion trends. 

Zara has this amazing skirt that's not only incorporating the paint box trend but  also the asymmetric laser cut trend. All for only £39.99

There are so many items from ASOS I could have chosen, tried to stick to my favs. House of Holland nails! In Tie Dye!!! 

And this trend doesn't just include paint look clothes also bright colour blocking and painting prints!

Like this Peter Jensen Julie Sweatshirt With Diana Ross Print!

BEAUT! 

Hope you guys enjoy!

Hot Products From FRMS

Totally loving this Glasgow based boutique, that absolutely capsulate the latest trends and classic looks and here are a few of my favs that work so well with the up and coming trends for spring/summer.

Firstly, I'm totally obsessed with this burnt orange shift dress, super easy to dress up and down! 

Might as well put together with these two beauts for a perfect night out! 

 

I'm loving this little floral peplum top with the white collar addition, beaut with a midi skirt and strappy heels in almost any colour would match with this. 

FRMS are perfect for dresses for a night out, for any shape or style. This one is my particular favourite. Could dress this up with overlay of grungy jewellery and huuuge spike heels or would be lovely for day time, paired with black tights, buckled boots and a crop leather jacket! 

AND ITS ONLY £11.99 

I think just from this blog you all know I do love a good jumpsuit, and this contrast one is so flattering for so many shapes, as its black and cream, mostly any coloured accessories will work great! 

NEED NEED NEED this in my wardrobe, who wouldn't feel totally high fashion in this beaut cape. Which could be wore with mostly any outfit, on any occasion and look amazing! 

So please guys could everyone go and check them out whether its their website

Or if you live in Glasgow go visit their boutique 

Trinity House, Crow Road, Lennoxtown, Glasgow, United Kingdom

Best of the Oscars 2014

It is only fitting that I choose the best looks from the Oscars red carpet last night, and believe me it wasn't all that difficult to choose. From me red carpet looks are always better classic and simple, most of the time a fashion risk is a fashion disaster! (there are obviously a few fabulous exceptions). 

Might as well start with my absolute favourite dress from the night wore by Lupita Nyong’o, gorgeous baby blue Prada Gown. IN LOOOVE 

Could I really do a blog on fashion at the Oscars and not include the most gorgeous couple on the red carpet that can really do no wrong! Angelina's dress is Ellie Sabb totally classic and perfect.

Do we expect anything less from Hollywood royalty? 

Now this one really surprised me, a "dar horse" we could say? This beautiful McQueen worn by Sandra Bullock, I do just adore navy on the red carpet. So complimentary. 

Another star that worked the navy gown so perf last night is Amy Adams, not as amazing as Sandra's but beautiful. This gown is by Gucci.

Could I really do a blog on fashion at the Oscars and not include Jennifer Lawrence? Hollywoods Golden Girl. Im not 100% on this, I mean I like it but just don't LOVE it, which is so annoying because I could have died last year when she wore the gorgeous princess looking Dior dress, I mean maybe she is just trying a bit more high fashion which makes sense I'm just not loving it. Btw this is also Dior. 

Hope you guys enjoy!

Wait a sec! How could I do this!! Write a blog on the Oscars and not include this amaaaazing picture! Anyone else loving this? 

Love it!!
