"You either know fashion or you don't."
- Anna Wintour
I've gone through many fashion phases in my life, well if fashion is the right word, I'm not too sure. Basically, my style has changed a lot since I was a teenager. I remember the days when I was obsessed with mini skirts, then the days when all I wore was sportswear, to my party-loving days in tight bodycon dresses. Now, I'm pretty experimental, I don't have a particular style, I wear everything and anything... so long as it is flattering.
Many years ago, I wouldn't have been caught dead in girly clothes, but today I decided to feature some very feminine pieces to create this chic outfit. I picked baby pink and red, opting for a longline blazer, a frilly midi skirt and a ribbed crop top I finished off the look with perspex heeled sandals and a cute cross body bag, which brought together the colours of the outfit.
A lot has changed over the years, fashionably... for the better.

I'd been eyeing this co-ord from Zara for a while, but wasn't sure whether I should buy it, as of recent I've been overindulging. However, at such a bargain I gave in and bought the set, instantly thinking of the many ways in which I could style it.
I kept things simple, since the print is both bold and bright. I teamed the set with a simple white vest top from H&M and white heeled barely-there heels from Zara. I decided to glam up the look with my gold Michael Kors bag and chic red cat-eyed sunglasses from Forever 21. I finished off the look with red lipstick and contrasting blue nails.

I'm not one for following trends, but I can understand why the Polka Dot trend is hot on the scene right now and why everyone wants in. The timeless classic is one of my favourites, always has been... especially in black and white. So I decided to finally get in on the action and feature a look of my own.
Inspiration - Carolina Herrera
I decided to go for triple polka dot, teaming a large print polka dot skirt from ASOS with a small polka blouse from Missguided and a matching bag from Zara. I finished off the look with cat-eyed sunglasses from Topshop and Gold platform heels from ASOS.

I never did stick to the rules or let the weather prevent me from wearing whatever it is I've wanted to wear. Long gone are the days of waking up in the morning and checking out the weather forecast online. These days I just pick whatever I want; if I'm feeling relaxed and care-free, it's a tee and jeans. If I'm feeling flirty, then a sexy dressy or a cute little skirt with killer heels. On this day I was feeling rather random, so a random outfit is what I went for.
I wanted to be comfy and chic at the same time, but I wanted my outfit to look well presented and somewhat matchy (yes, a new word of mine). I opted for a graphic print t-shirt from MissPap, a maxi faux fur coat from Boohoo and this fabulous fuchsia origami skirt from ASOS. I finished off the look with a black felt Beret from ASOS and killer heels from Zara (which are now available in the sale). Of course... as is now standard with all my outfits... I added a complementary shade of Mac lipstick to add the perfect last touch.

My favourite trend of the Winter is definitely the faux fur coat and as you may have seen from my recent posts I am literally obsessed with them. I've built up quite a collection, in a range of colours and fits; from post box red and oversized to the longline classic black, I really just can't get enough.
When I spotted this amazing baby pink faux fur coat on Missguided I just knew I had to have it, but unfortunately it was not yet on sale. Quite a tease displaying it on the website (when it wasn't available) I thought, but every other day I would go and have a look to see if it had become available, to my delight after a month it was eventually on the site and best of all available in my size. Out came the purse.
I decided to keep the attention on the coat with this outfit, by teaming it up with muted tones. I teamed the coat up with a pink cold shoulder thin knit jumper from ASOS, faux suede leggings from Zara, a black fedora hat from River Island and black pointed court perspex heels from H&M. I finished off the look with more faux fur, a black large stole and a stone and silver cross body bag, both from Zara. Believe me when I say I was as snug as bug.

One of my favourite colours for the festive season is red, so I decided to feature a little something on the blog for the special occasion. But as usual I decided to add a twist. Rather than wearing a typical Christmas jumper or a floppy Santa hat, I decided to sexy things up just a bit; ensuring I would appear on Sanata's naughty list. Hey, what fun is it always being good?!
I opted for this red faux fur coat and slinky deep cut tie front red dress, both from Lotd.com. I added gold platform heeled sandals and a gold caged sphere bag, both from ASOS. I finished off the look with the perfect touch, red bold lipstick. Santa can keep his present, I don't do nice.

I was feeling a little bold and I wanted to feature an outfit that reflected how I was feeling. So I decided to wear this amazing faux fur lime green coat from the Kourtney Kardashian x Pretty Little Thing collection (sold out in Lime, available in Pink), with this simple matching body con dress from River Island (old). I teamed up the perfect duo with perspex heeled sandals from Public Desire, a Silver Large clutch bag from ASOS (sold out) and to tie the look together, a silver statement necklace from Aldo Shoes at ASOS (old). Who knew that lime green and dark purple go so well together?!

I can't remember who said this, but I basically live by it now, well ever since I decided to have purple hair: 'People will stare. Make it worth their while.' and that is exactly what I've done with this OTT. outfit.
Yes, this outfit is literally over the top ('OTT'). Gone are the days of muted tones, neutrals and all black, well, for now anyway. Purple hair has given me a new found confidence. I was never really shy when it came to colours, but I was't one to be OTT.. if I was going to wear a bright colour I'd typically limited it to one piece, but with this outfit I went full on colour.
I teamed up this oversized sweater from H&M (sold out online, available in store) with a green faux fur scarf from ASOS and a green tube midi skirt (old) from Topshop. I finished off the look with funny pink oversized sunglasses from ASOS and perspex heeled sandals from Public Desire... I guess you can say those colour shy days are ling in the past.
