Wearing | Aztec Diamond

Hello peeps! Long time no see. Or long time no blog? I have been on holiday recently and then I got sick after returning... Boo for sickness. So, I feel like I have neglected my blog for a little bit but I'm back and fighting to get into the swing of things again. I thought I would post a few outfit snaps to show you all what I was wearing on holiday. Holiday outfits are so much more fun as opposed to the boring old Scottish weather and scenery. Having said that, these snaps were taken before leaving for the airport. But anyway, this is my travel outfit post.

Apologies for the bad quality photos, my memory card for my camera decided to disappear so I couldn't use it the full holiday. Major PAIN!!!

Sunnies - Primark £1!!! / Top - Topshop Sale / Kimono / Jeans / Sandals / Watch - Michael Kors / Bag - New Look / Nails - Various Barry M, Topshop and Rimmel Nail Polish

I like to be comfortable when it comes to travelling so I thought that Topshop's incredibly comfy Leigh jeans and a kimono were the perfect combination. I bought this little white top from the Topshop sale and have already posted about it on my blog in my last outfit post. My Kimono is from new look and I love the triangle trim at the bottom of it because it's a little different. My sandals are yet again La Moda's chunky heels but if you can't find them on there, Ebay is a good place to look. I have just painted and decorated clear pointed tips with different nail polishes and little diamontes. Great if you are on a budget as the clear tips were only £3/4 from Ebay. 

Thanks for reading guys, ttyl,

Splurge V Save | Kylie Jenner Inspired

There's no denying that miss Kylie Jenner has turned into such a fashionista! I am always crushing over her instagram pics as she seems to have the most amazing wardrobe! She can be grungy and edgy but also switches it up to become classic and chic. She's such a babe and always keeps it stylish!

This little fashion snap from a couple of weeks ago really got me on the hunt for a classic white boyfriend blouse and sleeveless coat. I love that she has opted to keep it classy and never trashy (Miley should take some notes?). As some of us aren't lucky enough to rock her designer gear, here are some alternatives to this simple outfit that makes a big statement. 

SAVE:

Shirt / Trousers / Sleeveless Coat / Heels 

SPLURGE:

Shirt / Trousers  / Sleeveless Coat  / Heels


I hope you guys enjoyed this Kylie Jenner inspired post, I am really loving her style! Are you? ttyl,

Wearing | Beaches

Happy June everyone. I cannot believe that it has actually hit the middle of the year. Anyways, I am here with an OOTD post today and I am definitely loving this little ensemble. 

I have paired this shoulder-less crop top with my high waisted skinnies and chunky sandals. I know shoulder-less tops were popular last year but I am enjoying this long sleeved, beachy, lightweight crop from H&M at just £14.99! My jeans are also from H&M and are very similar to Topshop Joni's but at half the price. I adore these white chunky sandals from LA Moda. I throw them on with literally everything and they are bang on trend this season. All links with be listed below to what I can find!

The Best Of... H&M

It's no secret to anyone that I'm a huge fan of H&M. It's the first place I head to when I'm in need of a new blouse, shorts or jewellery when I don't want to spend too much money. I will be introducing a series on my blog filled with posts on the best fashion and beauty items from my go-to stores/websites. I am kick starting the posts with The Best Of... H&M as they cater for different ages and people with different styles whilst staying fashionable and affordable.

For SS14 they have a wide variety of amazing pieces! Although I prefer to shop in their stores, when shopping online they create a style guide for you by listing products to match the item you are viewing and also give you similar items if the item you are viewing is out of stock/not in your size. Genius! I will be showcasing just what I mean in the following photographs.  

*As always, click the links under the photos to take you directly to the items!*

 

Leaf Print Playsuit

Grey Boots

Beach Hat

Heart Shades

Lashes

Rose Gold Necklace

Powder Blue Blouse
White Jeans
Sandals

Smoky Palette

Fringe Bag
Ring Stack

Sports Bra

Yoga Pants

Jacket

Water Bottle

My personal favourites from H&M are their summer dresses, accessories, swimwear, gym gear, crop tops, jeans and jewellery which I highly recommend. Click here to view their full website.

H&M also have an exciting collaboration lauching in November of this year. Alexander Wang will be teaming up with them to design and retail what I can imagine will be beautiful creations. I for one cannot wait for that.

Stay tuned for frequent posts on The Best Of... You might find a new place to shop for many occasions!!!

Casual Picks SS14 | Ebay Edit

Some people tend to stay away from Ebay when it comes to shopping online. They think that it is filled with people selling used and practically old items, when that's not the case. There are some great businesses/websites that go via Ebay to sell their products/goods to buyers. For me, I'm always on the Fashion listings as you can grab clothing and accessories at unbeatable prices.

I will be showcasing my casual picks of the moment that will maybe give you some style inspiration. It may also motivate you to browse a site that has everything you could possibly desire. Simple and sometimes cheaper than high street shopping! Here are some Ebay gems that I have discovered that tickle my fancy.

  Dogtooth Bralet £6.99 Acid Wash High Waisted Shorts £14.99 Metallic Platform Sandals £19.99 Statement Necklace £10.79 Messenger Satchel £10.99 Fringe Kimono £9.99 9 Piece Ring Stack £1.74 Round Hippy Mirror Sunnies £4.99

Bikini Bombshells

As I have been ever so lucky to escape a miserable British winter and instead enjoy a hot Aussie one, I have had my fair share of beach days lately. Having said that, I will be home and back in Scotland for Summer 2014 and I very much doubt that I will be going anywhere with hot weather. Boo! So, no more bikini buying for a wee while, but that doesn't stop a girl from looking. Online stores have had me green eyed with jealously by the gorgeous new styles and creations of this years holiday collections on super hot models. Let me show you just what I mean...



White Bandeau / White Bottoms - River Island
Lips Top / Lips High Waist Bottoms - River Island
Palm Print Swimsuit -Topshop
Tropical Bikini Set - Topshop
Monochrome Top / Bottoms - River Island



 

 

I love these high waist bikini bottoms, they are flattering on curves and make your waist appear smaller! Fun prints always pack a punch and make your summer wardrobe more exciting. I can see this palm print one piece being popular for pool parties.

One Pieces

White Suit - Missguided
Monochrome Halter Plunge - Asos
Black Cut Out - Asos

 

The classic black or white swimsuit... Or both black and white if you fancy it? Missguided are killing it with their all in one swim wear, I just hope that the material is of good, thick quality to avoid any see-through-ness. How stylish is this deep V monochrome suit from Asos? I'm in love. Lastly we have this black cut out swimsuit from Asos. Which is perfect for you if you want something practical but fashionable. All three pieces are designed with a plunging neckline and will have you looking fabulous this summer! 

Florals

Multicolour Set - Boohoo
Stone Blue Top / Bottoms - Urban Outfitters
Ribbed Top / Bottoms  - H&M

 

The flirty florals. I think that florals are fashionable in any season. But you cannot pack a suitcase for a summer holiday and leave a floral bikini behind. Boohoo have this multi colour bandeau twist bikini, which is guaranteed to make your tan pop. Next we have Urban Outfitters with this beauty of a stone wash blue with floral design. Perfect for sporty shapes! H&M has always been a favourite of mine for a holiday shopping spree and this ribbed floral bandeau bikini is so on point.

 

Let me know if you happen to pick up any of these pieces!

Trending: Co-Ordinate's

I highly doubt that I have been the only one crushing on the co-ords trend currently taking its spot in the world of fashion. They are delivered in many styles and by many brands, spotted on cat walks and our high street's. I personally prefer matching seperate items in an outfit over a dress. It's a little bit more creative. Therefore I thought I would put together this post to showcase some of my favourite's that I have had my eye on. Included will be a variety of various styles so there's bound to be something for everyone. I have quite a few to display but have shortlisted it to my top 15!

The A line & Flair Skirts

Square Print Peplum Top £22 | Square Print Peplum Skirt £18 - Rare London

Dog Tooth Lilac A-line Skirt £14.99 - Missguided

Dog Tooth Lilac Crop Top £9.99 - Missguided

Woven Checked Box Top £12 | Woven Checked Plaited Skirt £15 - Boohoo

This Square Print in Monochrome outfit from Rare London is on trend and easy to accessorise. I have included this pretty pair of Dog Tooth Lilac Set that is easy to experiment with and mix and match with other pieces.

The Midi Skirt and Trouser

Floral Bandeau £12 | Floral Midi Skirt £15 - Boohoo

Green Craze Crop £21 | Green Craze Tube Skirt £19.60 - Stay Sick

Retro Vibes Tie Neck Crop £28.99 | Printed Joggers £31.99 - Stay Sick

High Neck Crop Top £14.99 | Curve Hem Midi Skirt £14.99 - Missguided

Two pieces are so effortless to wear but make a big statement. As you can see, you can go for a busy print if you want to keep it fun and upbeat or simple with a neutral colour such as this elegant High Neck Crop & Curve Hem Midi from Missguided.

The Shorts & Skorts

Black Paisley Embossed Skort £22 | Spaghetti Crop Top £26 - Oh My Love

Brocade Print High Neck Crop £19.99 | Shorts (Not in stock) - Missguided

Sequin Box Top £35 | High Waist Sequin Shorts £35 - Oh My Love 

I just had to feature this Brocade Print Blue Set despite that the shorts currently sold out. The straight cut edges create a more classic, defined look for a formal event. The Sequin Box Top & Shorts are definitely my favourite co-ordinates. They look so edgy and quirky paired together and would also work well with alternatives.

The Bodycon Skirts

Contrast Mini Skirt £12 | Panel Shell Top £15 - Boohoo

Pink Dogtooth Skirt £14.99 | Pink Dogtooth Crop Top £14.99 - Missguided 

Paint Mark Tube Skirt £22 | Paint Mark Crop £18 - Motel Rocks

Cable Quilted Sweat £15 | Cable Quilted Skirt £12 - Boohoo

I am not usually a fan of bodycon skirts, but I couldn't resist these cute pieces. They are also in two superior trends at the moment - Pastel and Monocrome. Spaghetti straps have also been making an appearance on a few of the tops I have chosen. As well as aysemmetric skirts which are unusual and really popular.

Have you been loving any co-ordinate pieces lately?
