Style Edit: LBD Take Two

Hello everyone! I thought I’d share another style edit with you today, this one will be a bit different to my usual outfit posts though, as I’m at University at the moment and it’s hard to fit in photo shoots, I thought I’d share some photos of an outfit I wore on a night out recently. Enjoy :)

What I’m Wearing

Dress – River Island

Lipstick – MAC

I was inspired by a blog post from SheWearsFashion (linked here) and had been on the lookout for a sheer, black maxi skirt and black knicker shorts for so long but I couldn’t find a sheer skirt without an underlay. Then I stumbled across a beautiful dress by River Island on the Asos website with a sheer overlay which was even better than what I was looking for initially. This bandeau midi dress is basically a figure-hugging body with a sheer, lace overlay (I won’t lie, there’s not much to this dress, it’s definitely a style statement, not something to wear for warmth and comfort). Another reason I love this dress so much is the bandeau shape, which I find really flattering because it shows the collarbone and décolletage. If you like this dress, grab it while you can, it’s now on sale at £48.50, down from £65 (I bought mine at full price, don’t you hate it when you buy something and then you see that it’s been reduced?!) For full impact, I would always recommend wearing with a postbox red lipstick, there is no more classic a combination than an LBD and a red lip! I’m wearing Mac’s Ruby Woo in the pictures; definitely my favourite matte red lipstick of all time, and definitely worth the price!

On a side note, the sunglasses pictured above are literally my favourite purchase of all time, hence why I was wearing them inside the house like a crazy person. I am so ready for summer now, mainly so I have an excuse to wear these glasses, I’ll definitely be featuring these in come style edits when the weather gets warmer. My friends all say I look like Willy Wonka but I think they’re AMAZING, so I’ll link them here if you like them too.

Let me know if you liked this post or if you prefer my photo-shoot style edits more.

Day Trip To Cheltenham

Hi Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend :) It was such beautiful weather in the UK that I didn't want to waste it sitting inside the house, so on Sunday I went to Cheltenham to soak up the sun and do some last minute, pre-holiday shopping. If you've never been before I would definitely recommend you take a trip there, there's a huge range of shops, including some amazing high end stores on the promenade which I love going into just to lust at items I could never afford (Karen Millen is my favourite for this). There's also some beautiful areas to walk around with gorgeous, Georgian houses and amazing parks.

One of my favourite places to go at the moment is Whole Foods in Cheltenham, it's basically a massive supermarket and restaurant which only sells really healthy, organic food and produce. As I'm trying my best to eat really healthily, we decided to go to there for lunch which was AMAZING! I had brown rice sushi with salmon and avocado, I'm obsessed with sushi at the moment and it was honestly the best sushi I've ever had!

I also needed a few bits for my holiday so went I went into Boots (the one in Cheltenham is massive and has two floors) just to buy a few essentials and I also bought a gorgeous sun hat from Accessorize, I actually first saw it in Tanya Burr's 'Summer Fashion Haul' video and thought it looked amazing so I'm so glad I managed to find it. I'll put a link in the 'What I'm Wearing' section below so you can see it on the website.

I took a few pictures on the day which I'll put below, so I hope you enjoy them!

What I'm Wearing

Hat - Accessorize

Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters

Classic Co-ords

Hello everyone! For my second blog post I thought I'd show you one of my current favourite outfits to wear on a night out...enjoy :)

What I'm Wearing

Top - Missguided

Shorts - Missguided

Boots - H&M

Ear Cuff - Accessorize

Glasses - Urban Outfitters

I absolutely love these co-ords, they're so flattering and the Aztec detailing makes them really on trend for SS14. They're actually on sale on the Missguided website at the moment so grab them while you can, they were reasonably priced to begin with and they're an absolute bargain now that they're discounted. These co-ords combine two trends that I love; crop tops and high wasted shorts! The fact that they are black with detailing on the side panels makes them so slimming as it draws the eye downwards and they only show a small amount of your midriff which is very flattering as its the slimmest part of most women. I wear these out so often, if I'm ever having trouble finding an outfit or putting things together for a night out, this is such an easy option because the top and shorts go together so there's no worrying about what to pair it with.

What's your go to outfit for a night out?
