The Week of Mirror Selfies!

Hello all you lovely people! I know it is amazing two blogs within DAYS of each other, I promise I'm not dying. Just distracting myself from horrific dissertation writing. If you follow my fashion Instagram ( @dreamingoffifthavenue ) you will have had the blessing of viewing these pictures already so you can stop reading now. I have been trying to up my style game within the last week, for a while I was getting super comfortable with my style and not pushing myself to wear new or different things (there is only so many times that you can wear a Yeezus top and Topshop Jeans). Also, since October I have been on a bit of a weight loss journey and getting closer to my target weight has giving me an extra boost of confidence to wear more fashion-forward outfits. *big round of applause* I was on a buying ban...yes! a buying ban since the 28th of December so I splurged a little at the end of January...which in a way makes the ban completely pointless. I may have a slight addiction. But if that addiction means I'm looking fierce AF, who gives! 

Outfit One -

I love this outfit! Took a little style inspo from my pal over at www.vogueandcake.com who suggested layering a big fluffy jumper over this ankle length Zara dress that cost £9! BIBLE! The jumper is H&M Trend (surprise, surprise) and I'm sure the belt is from H&M too! I felt super on trend with this and got so many compliments too! I just felt as though it really showcased my figure in the best way. 

Outfit Two - 

This coat is genuine LIFE! I got it from the Topshop boxing day sale for £35! You can't really see it great in this picture but I have a Weekday long black shirt on with some ripped Topshop Jamie jeans and my Stan Smiths (easily the best shoes I have ever ever bought!). 

Outfit Three - 

Sorry for the lack of face...it was a hard day and I may be cheating because this isn't a 'mirror selfie' but I AM LIVING FOR THIS BOMBER JACKET!!! Which is from H&M Trend obvs. A basic black polo neck cause why the hell would you want to take away from all the sequins!! Topshop Jamie Jeans and my fav Stan Smith's. 

Outfit Four -

 

Again with the Jaime Jeans....sorry guys but they are so god damn comfy! I feel like this outfit also showed off my figure really well and made a 7 o'clock start in work that little bit easier as I was feeling fierce AF! I love this little Mango shirt that I bought when I was in Madrid last year, its super light weight meaning that it works well for layering too! These boots make me feel super sassy like more than the emoji chick! They are comfy but also high enough to wear on a night out (which I have done often, which equals no crying feet). 

Outfit Five - 

You guys will NEVER EVER guess where this outfit is from...I'll give you three chances 1) H&M Trend 2) H&M Trend and 3) H&M Trend! I'm not even sorry, I don't know why but I felt like some sort of Hunger Games extra with this on, maybe because of the lack of black? The only criticism I have about the trousers is the waistband, I wish it wasn's elastic. I guess I could cover it with a belt but I don't know for comfortable that will feel. And again with the Stan Smiths, I am soo original. 

Outfit Six - 

 

I am so gutted I didn't get a better picture of this outfit, but unfortunately,  White Russians are way more important that outfit selfies. Although I must congratulate Bloc (a bar on Bath Street in Glasgow) on their awesome outfit selfie mirror! This H&M Trend fringe suede jacket is an utter dream, it makes any outfit look super on trend. Underneath I have a V-neck grey t-shirt with my black Joni Topshop jeans and I bought one of those skinny black scarfs which I feel completely upgrades this outfit and you will defiantly be seeing this again. 

I hope you guys all enjoyed this post! I really enjoyed writing it and taking multiple pictures of myself. 

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

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!

Outfit Ideas - Back to Uni

I tweeted and instagram'd an outfit idea this morning that was very chic, black and white with gold accessories! 

I've been searching for this hat for weeks now and I'm so glad I found it on Missguided this morning! Also the beautiful mid length black skirt from Zara is so versatile and can easily be worn on a night out too! 

The gold chain necklace...one big tip here - EVERYONE should own one of these! It just goes with everything and they are so in right now, the one I have used on here today is from River Island but I have seen them in most high street stores recently. 

Outfit One of my back to uni segment - 

Chic Grunge 

Cut out boots - Office 

Black Frill Socks - Topshop 

Celine T shirt - Ebay

The Killer Kimono

Never thought you’d be channeling Mulan into your end of summer wardrobe it seen to be all over the high street atm, and we are all dying for one! Perfect to throw over shorts and a cotton cami to wearing with jeans and pumps, I have also seen them paired with maxi’s which completely changes the look for a much more oriental feel. I’ve seen this trend blossom in the likes of Topshop, Zara and River Island.

Why not try sticking to the neon trend with one of these little beauties, with a white cami and denim shorty shorts?

Also these particular kimonos have got the matching shorts, so is the office’s temperature is rising why don’t you opt for a spin on the classic short suit and go a little more East.

Topshop - £65 (each)

Matching shorts - http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=12556&catalogId=33057&productId=11437721&categoryId=220489&parent_category_rn=208529

Other types of kimonos available!
