Style Addict in NYC

Hello my lovely people! I again begin my blog post with an apology and a promise to blog more...oops :(. Well in May...yes May and this is the blog just going up now...(such a bad blogger!) I had the amazing opportunity to go to New York with my university for five days and we shopped till we dropped did lots of tourist-y things and ate millions of yummy food! 

So this is me finally putting together a little outfit blog...and what we got up to in NYC. 

On our first proper day, we shopped and shopped and shopped and shopped! I have genuinely never ever been to as many shops as I did, and I have one word Sephora! It genuinely is heaven..I bought lots of goodies that I have been using to the death recently. Also as you can see from the picture I got to go to Tiffany's! I have never seen so many beautifully sparkly things in my life, I never wanted to leave! 

What I'm wearing: 

Hat - H&M

Dress - Miss Guided 

Waistcoat - H&M 

Sandals - Topshop

Watch - Olivia Burton 

Necklace - Topshop 

Earrings - Tiffany & Co 

After a wonderful day of shopping we went up the Empire State Building...which was breathtaking!! I got a little more dressed up as we were going for dinner after...popped on a little Chanel lipstick and pinned my hair up, heres a classic I'm wearing red (Chanel) lipstick pout pic. 

And here is some beeeaaautiful pics from the top of the Empire State building. 

It was awfully windy...but I still have it 100% NYC realness. Obvs! 

Daaaay Two! We started the day with the Sex in the City tour which was aaamazing...actually we started the day with these pancakes which I'm still thinking about. NYC = the best city for pancakes. 

I seriously recommend if you are a Sex in the City fan you go on this tour if you are in New York it was great we saw so many amazing places, got cupcakes and Cosmos in Steve Bar (Scotts? I think thats what its called). 

What I'm wearing:

Top and Skirt - H&M Trend

Necklace - H&M

Shoes - Topshop 

On the day the best ever thing happened...we had a carriage ride around central park!! It is so beautiful.. 

My sunglasses are from Topshop! I love the shape of these I feel they real complement my face shape..haha! 

Day Three... 

Tbh I didn't even get a proper picture of my outfit which was soooo annoying because i loved it! But here is a picture of me having a blast on a boat on the Hudson River! Also my sunglasses where an NYC Topshop purchase - they are Quay Australia and they are beautiful! 

What I'm wearing:

Top - River Island 

Culottes - H&M Trend

Shoes - Topshop 

So glad I finally got round to writing this blog because on a Saturday night all I want to do is sit and think about how amazing NYC is and plan when I am going back! 

Lots of love

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

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!

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!

ASOS Wish List

Just a little quick note of what I have popped on my wish list until pay day. 

Im crazy loving chockers atm, this one especially from ASOS, would be perfect for day and night. 

And to tie in with the 90's Revival Trend  

Again with these jeans! There are so many different styles of these jeans on ASOS for all different styles, whether you want light or dark, faded or acid washed! ALL with rips! Whats not to love? 

The style of these shoes are my absolute favourite for this season and a similar pair on my Valentines day segment. And these are actually a bit cheaper than the Office ones but equally as fab!

Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

This is just a little piece about the outfit I'm thinking about for valentines day celebrations next week, something not too OTT. Casual and very on trend!

I AM OBSESSED (sounding like Kelly Osborn on Fashion Police) with the ripped jean craze atm, needing these beauties in my wardrobe. There from ASOS and only £32! Suchh a steal!? - Link Here!

I need this...mine mine mine mine mine! Sooo high fashion mirroring the likes of the printed sweats from Givenchy etc. Love the fashion sketch print just adds extra chic! 
Très Magnifique!

£19.99 - Zara - Link Here!

I'm dying for a pair of shoes in this style! And after weeks of looking for a pair in black I found these in Office for £65, which is a little pricey but i think you would get a lot of wear out of these! - Link Here!

This one is more a pipeline dream then an actual product that I'd be able to buy for Vday (unless I won the lottery) I do looooove this Micheal Kors bag, the stand out colour is perfect to jazzy up a plain outfit! And its all yours for only £310! - Link Here!

And finally some bling! This chunky chain bracelet comes in at about £50 but sooooo worth it, would match everything! Already thought about 5 different outfits I could wear it with! - Link Here! 

Hope you enjoy this look!

Cami Crazy

One of my favourite pieces this A/W. Super easy to dress up or down. Whether its textured, silk, cotton...these are available in so many different styles to suit almost everyone. And is available at a range of prices. 

Pair with a slick leather jacket, super tight skinnies and killer heels for a fantastic night outfit. Or with a pair of cute ripped skinnies, and an over sized knit. 

Fluffy Fringe Cami 

Strappy V-Neck Cami 

All Over Beaded Cami 

Eyelash Lace Cami 

Check Print Cami

Red Velvet Cami 

These are just a few of favourite styles atm, but im sure that will just keep growing and growing! 

A/W Trend Diary

Here's a quick essential guide to keeping on track with the A/W 2013 trends.

Tartan! 
This is something you MUST invest in this season to stay bang on trend, this look was seen all over the catwalk from the likes of Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Mulberry.. 

Mulberry 

Christian Dior

Versace 

And if like me you cant afford these exact looks well here is a few alternatives to keep you right on trend without breaking the bank. 

I LOVE these little tartan ankle strap heel with the perspex sides from BooHoo.com, keeping with the tartan trend but also with the strappy heel makes these shoes so versatile, you are able to wear then with skinny ripped jeans or a tight black midi...almost too many excuses to wear them! For £20 can you really say no? 

These are perfectly paired with a crisp white crop shirt, or an oversize woolly knit or a cute pair of chelsea boots. From Topshop for only £25.

Cute cropped duffle style jacket from Zara for £109 

Punk!

Now who doesn't love a bit of punk, bring out your inner bad gal. This look was seen on designers from the likes of Chanel, Saint Laurent... 

Chanel

Versace 

Heres some more cost effective looks to keep you going all winter long! 

Black and white printed T from Topshop by Maarten Van Der Horst, pair this with super skinny jeans and some metallic footwear! 

Loving this waisted spike belt from ASOS, perfect with a girly skater style dress to punk it up! 

Could you get more punk that these Dr Marten shoes! Which would pretty much match everything, well i'd find any excuse to wear them! 

Suit Up! 
Looking at classic structure skirts, paired with oversize jumpers and matching print suit set! Which can definitely go from office to nightwear effortlessly. This look from designers such as Victoria Beckham, Erdem, DKNY, Burberry Prorsum.. 

Burberry Prorsum 

Louis Vuitton 

DKNY 

Key pieces to stay on trend from the high street. 

This sweet little piece from Zara just screams this look, match it with a structured skirt, tights and boot for a cute and bang on trend look.

This leather look pencil skirt from ASOS is perfect for this look and so versatile for everything, another one of those pieces that would go with mostly everything for day and night, office and party! 

This beautiful matching set from Topshop just gets my fashion senses tingling! Both easily wearable pieces by themselves but together they are like some sort of power couple! If you are looking for head turning reactions in the office then go for this, paired with loafers or even strappy 'barely there' sandals to easily flow from day till night. We might as well party those cold winter nights away!

Oversize Outerwear 

This could be easiest trend ever! Who cares what your wearing underneath as long as your coat is oversize and fabulous! This look was dominating the catwalk with the likes of DKNY, Chanel, Valentino all showing this look

Valentino 

Chanel 

DKNY

And again, heres some high street goodies that will keep you right on trend! 

I love this over size coatigin from ASOS the colour matches so many different pieces and would look flawless with most styles! A coatigin is definitely on my wish list this winter! 

I'm most definitely loving the colour of this oversize masculine studio coat from Zara. 

This blazer from River Island just screams this trend, with the check running through it brings in the tartan trend too! Also this is a super easy piece to dress up and down too which is great!
