Celebrity style steal: Demi Lavato

I realised I haven't done a celebrity style steal post in quite a while so I have a couple lined up for your viewing pleasure. Floral and leather is one of those perfect fashion combinations. Get a nice girly floral dress and 'toughen' it up with a leather jacket and some biker boots is autumn/winter is perfection, unfortunately the boots and jacket are a pretty safe bet in the English climate in spring/summer to.

Demi Lavato has got it pretty spot on with her Topshop floral dress, leather jacket and black opaque tights. So much so that it inspired me to create my own version using a recent Primark purchase. This denim look floral number was a nice round £10, its a great fitting dress with a cute print. The only negative is it does crease quite easily but most things do don't they?

Dress & Belt - Primark / Shirt - Primark / Leather jacket - eBay / Bag - Tesco (old) / Rings 

I decided to add a little collared shirt underneath as it just looked a little boring without that little bit of quirky detail. And I added a simple belt to give the dress a bit of shape.
Hope you've enjoyed my lastest celeb style steal? Do you like to 'edge up' your florals?

Thanks

Outfit of the week #9

Hello readers, hope everyone's had a great week I'm feeling good after literally just finishing my last assignment for Uni this year (And it doesn't even have to be handed in yet, go me). Now looking forward to a Summer English summer of relaxing (when I'm not at work), blogging and lots of shopping until the dreaded third year in September.

So its outfit of the week time again!! I'm not even sure I'll still be able to fit into this dress after the weekend of eating me and Luke have had. It all started off with fish finger sandwiches for Saturday lunchtime (quite possibly my favourite thing!). Followed by all you can eat Chinese buffet in the evening with my Moomin Mumma and Step Dad. Then onto Sunday pub lunch with the Father and we're currently waiting to be picked up by Lukes parents for an evening at Frankie and Benny's, phew! So it looks like I'm eating dry rice cakes for the next month.

Dress - Shelikes / Necklace - Primark / Boots - Matalan / Bag - eBay / Jewellery  - selection from ASOS/Prmark/H&M

This particular outfit I wore to the pub lunch with my Dad. I know pretty much everyone has one of these dresses or something very similar but it is cute and a snip of a price at  £15 from Shelikes. I teamed it with lots of gold accents and studs cos that's just how I roll. I'm still not brave enough for bare legs so I stuck with my faithful black opaques, although I did add some cheeky little frilly ankle socks!

Hope you like

Thanks

In May Kylie wants....

Black wedges / grey drape back top / studded white bag / brown shoe boots / white hi tops / floral shorts / necklace

I've got some serious love for Matalan at the moment! I haven't shopped there in aggggeeees but had a little browse on the website at the weekend and Loved what I saw. Their shoe range in particular is gorgeous, I could have done a wishlist solely on their shoes. How amazing are the brown shoe boots, I need them in my life, but annoyingly I can't find them on the website again. Definitely going to head to my nearest Matalan asap and hunt out some (if not all) of these pieces.

Thanks

Outfit of the week #8

I mentioned on my last outfit of the week post that I was going to a wedding reception and here is what I wore! I decided to be a good girl and recycle a dress I had previously worn for a wedding last year. 

I was lucky enough to pick up this gorgeous cobalt blue dress in an ASOS sale last year. The colour is gorgeous and it has a sexy little cut out back too, whit whoo!

As it's a plain dress I teamed it with my lovely ornate collar necklace that Luke's Mum and Dad got me for Christmas and my bargaineous clutch also got another outing (so worth the £6). I haven't got a shoe shoot today as I just wore a rather uninspiring pair of black wedges.

       

Dress - ASOS (old) / Clutch - M&CO / Necklace - Gift / Ring - c/o Henryka * / Bracelet  - Topshop / imPress nails - c/o Broadway nails *

Check out this gorgeous green amber and silver ring that the lovely people from Henryka sent me!

It's boomin stunning and I can't stop wearing it, so pleased. It went fabulously with my gorgeous imPress nails (see review here). I'm love all the amber and silver rings on their site, especially this cherry amber one and this one too. Henryka do a great range of gorgeous jewellery so do check them out. I think something from their range would be a great gift for someone and I have my eye on a couple of bits for my Mum's birthday later in the year.

I also managed to get my hands on one of MUA's new power pouts, which I'm wearing in these pictures. I brought the 'Runaway' shade which is in coral packaging but as you can see comes out more of a reddy colour, its really good though! If  you would like a proper review post then let me know.

And finally I had a very exciting tweet and email from infashiononline.com informing me that I had won their bloggers competition. They had been keenly reading my posts for the last month and I also sent them a series of draft posts looking at some of their shoes and luckily they loved my writing style and content so I'm now going to be their official blogger. So watch this space for infashiononline posts and more importantly the shoes they'll be sending me each month, wahoooooooo!!!!

Thanks

imPress nails

A little review today as I was very kindly sent some imPress nails to try out.

I have wanted to try these for a while but never got round to buying any, usually because Barry M nail polishes are calling me away from the fake nail section. So was very pleased when they dropped through the door one morning. I decided to use them this bank holiday weekend as they're not really practical for work and I also had a wedding reception on Sunday so these went perfectly with my blue dress (Outfit post coming on Sunday) And yes I'm very imPressed *ahem* with these stick on nails.

They do look very pretty in the nail polish pot and you also get a little prep wipe to clean your nails and a tiny nail file *cute alert* to sort out you own nails (you don't want them longer then the imPress nail, obvs) and to also file down the fake nail just a touch when they're applied  You get a variety of sizes so you can choose the right ones for you and there's 24 in a pack so I have enough for another occasion, yay!

The nails are so easy to apply I won't humour you with how I did it! Initially I was scared to do anything with my hands but once I had them on a little while I soon got use to them and carried on as normal. They looked fabulous and I couldn't stop looking at them all weekend. And yes they lasted all weekend with very minor chips on some of the ends towards the end of Monday. I did wear them to work on Tuesday but they're certainly not practical in my line of work (I work with young children) so I took them off this morning otherwise I think they definitely would have lasted the full 7 days the packaging says.

I'm definitely going to be purchasing some more of these, I love the product, they looked great and they lasted much longer then I thought they would. I think they'll be great for a week off work or they'll be brilliant to wear on holiday rather then taking loads of polishes and remover.

Have you tried these, how was your experience?

Thanks
