Style Edit: All White Party

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you have a fabulous New Year. I’d also like to apologise for the lack of blog posts recently but I’m planning to blog more regularly from now on. Christmas is over but the party season is still in full swing so I thought I’d share with you some New Year’s Party outfit inspiration. Enjoy!

What I’m Wearing

Skirt – River Island

Top- PrettyLittleThing

I built this outfit around the gorgeous white leather skirt from River Island which is an absolute steal at £25. It reminds me of the super-tight bodycon skirts that Kim Kardashian often wears and it looks a lot more expensive that it is (always a bonus!) I think a lot of us are guilty of over-wearing our staple ‘little black dress' and I certainly wear far too much black so I thought an all-white outfit would be nice change. I’m absolutely loving off-the-shoulder or Bardot style tops at the moment too, I think they’re so flattering and feminine as they show off your collarbone and décolletage. This white one is from PrettyLittleThing.com, they’ve got some amazing clothes and shoes on their website that I haven’t seen on the high street and they often have really big sales on so it’s worth saving the website into your bookmarks! I find it's often more interesting and more flattering to wear separates in the same colour rather than wearing a dress in one block colour because showing a small section of midriff draws the eye to the smallest part of your waist. I hope this has given you some style inspiration!

I’d love to know what your plans are for the New Years. Let me know in the comments :)

A Summer Wedding

Hello Everyone! Last month I had the honour of being chief bridesmaid at my big sister's wedding, it was an absolutely beautiful day and I can honestly say it was the best wedding I've ever been to (even if I am slightly biased) so I thought I'd show you some pictures taken on the day to give some wedding style inspiration to anyone planning their own wedding. Enjoy :)

The wedding was held at Stockbridge Farm Barn in Sherborne which was the most beautiful location for a summer, countryside wedding. The inside was very rustic and was decorated with twinkly fairy lights and bunting which made the venue look so magical. The crockery was vintage and mismatched which suited the venue perfectly and every guest had their own miniature teacup and saucer which was so cute and kitsch! There were also vintage looking cake stands filled with little cupcakes and scones and wedding favours of little paper bags filled with old school sweets, everything was delicious and I probably ate far too much cake and sweets for one person.

The grounds of the barn were absolutely stunning and even though there was a torrential downpour the day before the wedding, thankfully it was beautifully sunny on the day which made for some lovely pictures of the venue.

Our hair and makeup (including the bride's) was done by a lovely local makeup artist called Kirsten Sare, her website is www.kirstensare.co.uk; if you are from the Dorset area and are looking for a make-up artist or hair stylist for any event then I would definitely recommend you look at her work.

Seamless Tights - Pretty Polly

The whole day was perfect; it was a quintessential English wedding in the countryside and I'm so thankful that I was involved. I hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures and hearing about the day.

Style Edit: Candy Colours

Hello everyone! I thought I'd show you another piece I bought from the Missguided website which is now on sale! Candy colours are a classic trend for summer and this sweet polka dot dress is one of my favourite from the Missguided collection.

What I'm Wearing

Dress - Missguided

Flower Crown - Newlook

Necklace - Newlook

Denim Jacket - Topshop

Sandals - Boohoo

This dress isn't for everyone; it's very feminine and reminds me of a dress that Ariana Grande would wear. However, if you wanted to tone down the sugary sweetness, you could create an interesting contrast by pairing it with a studded denim jacket and cut out boots. The dress has an under skirt made of netting which gives it a 50s rockabilly feel while the cut out side detailing updates it for SS14. The puff ball skirt means that this could be worn by almost anyone of any shape because of its very flattering a-line shape which skims any problem areas. You could wear this to a summer picnic or even pair it with some white heels for a cute party look.

What are your favourite candy coloured summer items?
