Best Boots

Image
So now winter is well and truly on it's way *sob* it's time to start looking for those perfect winter boots! I always find it difficult to buy boots because I tend to wear brown more than black, but I do wear a lot of dresses with tights. Once you decide on the colour you then have to choose a style. Do you want ankle boots, riding boots, chelsea, brogue, heeled, flat, hidden? Leather, suede? Studs or no studs? Laces or no laces? The list can be endless, so I have been browsing some of my favorite online stores and have found that  Nelly.com  is my go to place for the best boots this winter! Take a look at some of  my best picks and see what you think! These gorgeous studded boots are a bargain at £51.95, you don't often see boots with contrasting soles but these work really well. They also come in grey which are stunning too! Find them here - http://tidd.ly/f188f49b Fitting in with the grunge trend that has hit this season these pu leather capped bo...

Passion for Fashion!!

Ok so I was lucky enough today to receive an email to enter a competition for money super market to style some outfits using my favorite online retailers. The aim was to create five different Autumn/Winter looks that I thought would suit the given titles all for under £200. These were party, casual, outdoors, first date and office. At the end of the competition there will be one winner for each category who will win £200 to buy their winning outfit, the overall winner will get £1000 to buy each outfit and an I-pad! How cool hey?! So here are my outfits! My selections have come from my most loved online retailers, Missguided, Glamorous UK, Asos, Very and Lavish Alice. Check out the competition here  http://www.moneysupermarket.com/home-insurance/passion-for-fashion/  . Party This look I aimed to create a classy but chic party look. As the seasons are focused on Autumn/Winter I knew that bare legs needed to be contrasted with a higher neck and blazer. (For temperature...

This is a mans world

Image
Hi guys, so I realised lately that not a lot of fashion blogs take into account the poor guys out there, lost in fashion world. It's easy enough for us girls to log onto each other blogs or instagrams or simply chat about what we should wear. But what about the guys? Now I have a lot of male friends but don;t ever go clothes shopping with them, purely because men and shopping never mix well in my eyes. It's been years since I've had a boyfriend and if I take my dad shopping I end up suggesting clothes that I think would work on a 22 year old not a 50 year old. So I have decided to give the confused style guys of the world some tips. Many may think girls don't know how to dress guys but believe me, I spend equally as much time looking at men's style as I do women's. There is something about men's style that interests me. Designers such as Stella McCartney focus on using male tailoring in her designs creating some of the most beautiful blazers and jackets...

Nelly review

Image
Hello everyone! So today I am finally going to review my beautiful clothes I was lucky enough to receive from Nelly. As I have said in previous posts Nelly is an online store that originates from Sweden and is now moving to the UK as well. A few plus points about the website and brand to begin with: - The website is really easy to navigate your way around. - The models are all healthy weights and sizes to give a true look of the clothes. - The range of designers and brands sold is amazing. - Prices are fantastic! - The look book and inspiration pages are really helpful with inspiring ideas - The styling is STUNNING! So here goes, can I just apologise for the disgusting pictures of me (I hate having my picture taken but you needed to get a true idea of what they clothes look like, hence why I look terrified) Now when I was asked to review these samples, I was lucky enough to pick the clothes myself. At the time the weather was actually summery so I opted for an ...

Nelly Natural eye kit review

Image
Ok so you may have to bear with me on this one because this is my first real beauty review. Luckily I have received some samples from Nelly to review and being a fan of natural make up, this set appeared to be perfect. Nelly sell their own range of make up that comes packaged in very cute and girly boxes (which lets face it is a big selling aspect) http://nelly.com/uk/beauty-women/beauty/make-up/nelly-beauty-678/nelly-natural-eye-kit-678049-12/ With the image and design of the packaging being quite modest I think the make up becomes a lot less intimidating. Some companies over power their products almost forcing the customer into feeling over whelmed if they aren't completely sure how to use it. This however offers a simple way of suggesting possible ways of combining the different eye shadows.  Below was one of my favorite things about the product. I think it always make a huge difference with a product when something slightly quirky is added to the design. Any woman tha...
