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

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!!

Little pieces of happiness!

Since it's such a horrid day today I thought id bring you all a little piece of happiness that you could add to your spring (if we can even call it that) wardrobe. 

A while ago a lovely friend of mine told me all about this website that makes gorgeous handcrafted locally produced pieces of jewellery. 

Dogeared was created in 1991in Souther California. So even though we don't get much sun here, who says we can't get it delivered right to our doors and wear it everyday!

I though i'd just pick out a few of my favourite pieces, not just from the new February Collection but their classic pieces too. 

What I love most about these necklaces is not just the gorgeous dainty pieces but also the messages that you can give with the gift, I do love the significance of this little one. 

Giving 100 wishes to someone is just so cute. 

I really love the design of this necklace I think it would sit beautifully with any outfit. 

And I'm a big believer in karma!

This necklace is from there  February Collection, it is 18K gold. So if you feel like splashing out a bit i'd say definitely go for this one. 

Of course I would pick one with a skull on it! I've been dying for this bracelet for ages now, again would match almost everything and it is in fact gold dipped! Even better. 

This little beaut is "packed with positive energy" and the coral colour of the stone keeps you bang on trend! There are a few pieces from the "happy gem" collection that would suit different people, its well worth a look.

All these and more are available right now on dogeared.com and also for faster delivery some of their collection is also available on ASOS! 

Competition Time!!

Hey guys as a little celebration for the new look of Style Addict I have decided to run a little competition. What I want you guys to do is put together an outfit that incorporates a trend that I have spoken about in the S/S Trend Diaries. 

So either - 90's revival, Global Traveller, Modern Romance or Nature Girl. 

  

All you need is the internet and a free collage maker (you can get one online) and then post it on the new Style Addict Facebook page with a description. Like and share the Facebook page. (THATS SUPER IMPORTANT). I will narrow the applicants down to the top three and then it will be put to Facebook for a public vote.

An example of what I've done (you have probably seen it on Facebook already)

You could say this is for the Modern Romance trend.

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!
