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!

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,

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!! 

My Recent Purchase/Gifts

I haven't done one of these blogs before but I kinda want to give my blog a more personal feel into my life too,so hopefully I dont bore you too much with it all. 

I'll start with what I bought, from H&M (of course with my amaazing staff discount) 

These beauties.... 

Only £29.99 and are real suede, they are sooo super comfy too.

Everyone meet Viv.... 

And this is how he gave me it on the night before valentines day!

Mega cute, aint it just?

I might as well just add in the outfit that I have bought for a wedding I am attending in March, I will be doing a separate piece on this probably tomorrow but I just wanted to show you guys it today to let you see how dapper we will look!

Trend Diary S/S 14 - Global Traveller

My final Trend Diary post! Hopefully you've enjoyed them and I've made them as interesting as I could. Our last ket trend for this seasons is Global Traveller. Think tribal, aztec prints together! Mixed animal prints, flowing fabric, fringing, beads and tassels. Probably the simplest was to describe this trend. 

There is also a strong connection with the macro trend Next Nature for this season,  this is super key for high summer and festival season. 

This little beaut paring is from New Look, caring on the trend of matching top and bottom pieces instead of clashing still totally works with these also harem/pyjama style pants and cute flawy crop top. I feel that New Look always performs highly in the festival style trends! 

I love love love this beautiful flowing maxi from H&M, the almost minty/limey green colour is totally eye popping. Would definitely work on holiday, maybe not so much for T in the Park i think? 

This lovely little sheen t-shirt dress from Urban Outfitters is gorgeous, I love the print and colour of the printed panels, would definitely wear during festival season, with knee high socks and wellies maybe even a flowery headband and loose curls! 

These are my two favourite pieces of this trend, still loving tailoring and geometric cuts! And this gorgey little cropped jacket from Matalan (Yeah I know!! Such a buy) would look perfect with a loose fitting white jumpsuit, big shades and some tribal jewellery! 

With the skirt (from Topshop) just screams this trend with the classing prints and earthy colours, perfect for both high summer and festivals! 

As for accessories this could be a whole segment on its own! There is soo much to choose from! 

These are my four favourite accessories from this trend, I could have picked loads more but thought i should limit to my absolute favs! 

Bag - New Look 

Shoes - Topshop 

Hat and Necklace - Primark 

Hope you guys enjoyed the Trend Diary for S/S 14. I will hopefully be posting nearer the time my take on each of these trends throughout Spring and Summer. 

Love Yahs x

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!

Style Diary

Since I posted a blog not too long ago of some of my ideas for the Summer Sessions Avicii concert in Bellahouston Park, I thought I would share with you all the outfit I chose to wear on the day! 

I decided on... 

A floral kimono from Primark!! (Only £15) 

A plain white cami top from Topshop (£18) 

Levi reworked shorts from Urban Outfitters (£35) 

Silver bum bag from Bank (£12) 

White flower crown headband from Topshop (Sale £4.50) 

Gold chain necklace from River Island (£15) 

Light grey knee high socks from Topshop (N/A) 

Black Hunter Wellies from Schuh (N/A) 

I kept my hair and make up super simple, just using a curling wand on some strands of hair to give it a big of volume and a quick smokey eye since I was partying well into the night!
