"You gotta have style. It helps you get down the stairs. It helps you get up in the morning. It's a way of life. Without it, you're nobody,"

Well I think it is safe to say I've got a thing for co-ords. I don't know when it started and I don't know why, I just know it hit me hard and I'm a little obsessed (ha ha... just at little...honest). But seriously, can you blame me? A good co-ord to me is a God send. I always have trouble picking what to wear with what, so when you can have this problem resolved with a co-ord, where you're only left with decided what bag and shoes to wear, it really does help a lot. And that was exactly the situation with this co-ord I bought from Zara recently.
With its pretty emrboidered mterial in cream and navy, I wondered what would pop against my new favourite co-ord. I decided to go for something bold, but not to overwhelming, as I didn't want to detract from the beauty of the set. I decided to go for green, teaming up a green duster from Boohoo with a matching green cross body bag from Topshop. I finished off the look with perspex heels, bold red lipstick and oversized sunglasses... just to add a bit of glam.

"You either know fashion or you don't."

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've built up a little bit of a reputation as a colour block lover, surprisingly with some of my blogger friends referring to me as the 'Colour Block Queen'. Not wanting to be dethroned, I decided to put together another colour block outfit, featuring two colours I've long loved; Cobalt Blue and Dark Orange. I decided to keep the pieces simple, so the focus is primarily on the colours, as oppose to anything else.
I opted for this cool long-line tie-front kimono from Boohoo, teaming it with skinny fit trousers from Primark and a matching studded bag from MissPap. I finished off the look with my favourite perspex heels fro Ego Official and a pretty layered necklace from Pretty Little Thing.

I love co-ords, in fact I love anything well matched. I've also got a huge crush on red right now, I think a lot of people have... as it is big on the catwalks and on the hughstreet, and has been for many months. I'd been longing for a well paired red outfit for a while, so when I spotted this belted blazer on Pretty Little Thing I knew I had to get it and find the perfect bottoms to match.

I wanted to keep the look clean and simple, casual but stylish. I love these looks from singer Fergie and supermodel Bella Hadid and wanted to achieve something similar. I decided to pair the blazer with red leggings, also from Pretty Little Thing and perspex heels from Ego Shoes. I finished off the look with cool red cat-eyed sunglasses from Forever 21 and this cute red and pink cross-body bag from Zara.

Now, I couldn't just narrow it down to a single pair of heels when it came to the amazing collection of perspex heels over at Ego Shoes. There's such great variety; from different heel heights, to different colours and styles... how is one suppose to chose just a single pair?! So I thought, for this weeks pick I'd break the rules and show you my favourite 9 perspex heels (yep, 9). Well, rules are made to be broken right...??
Fancy getting your hands on any of these hot heels, head over to Ego. You can thank me later.
Happy Shopping!
