Outfit of the Week

The rain has ceased, the sun is out and so am I! 

Outfit of the Week



Pinafore: primark £8
Tee: TKMAXX £7.99
Denim Jacket: Levis £40
Shoes: Topshop £55




Bag: Warehouse £39
Statement ring: Primark £3
Cross ring: Adorning Ava £3







I would usually wear both of the pini straps up, but I didn't want to look to preppy and perfect. I wanted my look to be a bit grungy & slouchy with a hint of sultryness to it.

Revealing of Rihanna

It's here... the day we were all waiting for.... getting our hands on the new Rihanna collection at River Island. I am pleased to now share with you my fav pieces and the definite pieces that will be hanging in my wardrobe this season. 






The Occult Print Tshirt dress

£50

This is already sold out online. You have to be quick if you want this beaut dress. I think you'll agree... very Mary Katrantzu.













 Dark Wash Denim Boyfriend jeans.

£50

Slouchy, yet sexy paired with a tank or bralet and stiletto strappys. 
Urban feel with a hint of demure and attitude.

They have that cool Rihanna vibe going on... plus they look amazzzingly comfy.







Khaki Camo Leather shorts

£85

C'mon, we all knew Ri was never goona bring out quiet and conservative. Raunchy and wowzarooney... YES!
And these camo leather hot pants are definately have the wow factor. 

What I love about them, is that I would wear them in the day with oversized knitwear, tights and trainers...maybe a beanie too. 
Or wedges, vest and a clutch... your choice.





G4Life Barely There Sandals

£60

I am literally in love with these girls. Only Rihanna could turn a simply classic strappy into a pumped up urban killers. 

What can I say?

L.O.V.E










Faux Fur Rucksack

£40

I am a little made for ruckies at the mo, and this bad boy is no exception. With graffiti straps and a soft to touch fabric and fur like texture, It ticks all the boxes. 










So, I don't know about you, but I'm marching down to River Island to get me some of these, before I miss out. Fav Piece? It HAS to be all the pieces in the black and white occult pattern. It's such a cool, yet sophisticated pattern that really is versatile. 

Well done Riri.... you've done us proud

Nothing like a little bit of class

Unorganized has been my middle name this week. Usually, I've got my outfit planned, right down to the shade of polish on my nails, but I went to my cousins wedding this weekend and literally didn't have a clue what to wear until Friday. This was a last minute affair, but luckily I found the perfect dress after only 4 hours of searching. And what's more, 20% discount for students... thanks to my sister, meaning I got this beauty for £75 in Miss Selfridge. 


Trying on my dress

Any outfit, isn't complete without a new pair of heels and a clutch...... so I just couldn't resist these. 


Bag: New Look £24.99

Heels: £85 Carvella 


I went for the whole Great Gatsby look. A world of glamour and sophistication... perfect for a wedding. I didn't want a dress that I couldn't wear again and would just be stuck and sat at the back of my wardrobe. 

My original choice was a dusky pink dress, with pleated chiffon in a full but flat skirt, finished with pink stones in a subtle pattern on the front of the top. It was pretty, but I wouldn't wear it on a night out... too conservative looking. Pretty, but not worth the £80 from Coast.

Weird lighting, as I was in the Fitting room
Stay tuned to see the wedding piccies and my complete outfit put together on the big day!

The Style Diaries

Diary entry 1:
 
Hi ladies! OK so here's my first diary entry for my ultimate African/holiday outfits. I thought I'd begin with my travel outfit. I'll give you a tip... I know you just wanna chuck on a pair of sweats and converse, (especially if your flights at a ridiculous time), but the thing is, wear heels! My logic is, if you're wearing a pair of your heels that you will be taking with you... there's more room and weight in your suitcase! The chunkier and heavier, the better! Plus they look good and gets your holiday vibes brewing!
 
Here's how I styled it!

DRESS: Topshop
WEDGES: Topshop £45
BLAZER: Zara £70
SATCHEL: Asos £25
NECKLACE: Adorning Ava £6
                                                     
 
 

I went for a simple pair of tan cross over wedges from TOPSHOP.I paired it with a skater style fitted dress, covered in a bright floral print. It's actually SS12 collection from Topshop (a Tulissa fav), but I absolutely love it and paired with the right garments, it looked bang on trend. The blazer pulled the whole outfit together.
 
 
EARRINGS: Forever 21 £3.99
 
I kept jewellery to a minimum with a simple pair of oversized studs and a black geometric necklace. A large bag was essential, therefore the tan satchel from ASOS was perfect...you can't go wrong with a classic hanging off your arm. It fits all your iphones, ipads, kindles, lippy and mascara (oh and passport) in and still in keep with your chic look. 
 
 
 
 
 
I kept my makeup and hair quite natural, as there's nothing worse than coming off the plane countless hours later with smudgy panda eyes and kinky hair. My key beauty product was my eyebrow pencil from MAC £18. A strong brow defines your whole face, no matter how little makeup you have on. It keeps your face looking defined and perfected without painting your face.
 
More style Diaries to follow shortly..... keep tuned in!
