Just before we begin, I completely and utterly condemn the act of using real fur for fashion purposes. I would only ever purchase products which use fake or faux fur. I am delighted to hear that the luxury brand Gucci is now stopping the sale of real fur. That is something I'd like to make a separate post about, perhaps. Now that is out of the way, here are some of my favourite leopard print pieces! Winter Warmers - Missguided CoatOne way to make a statement, especially in the autumn and winter season, is a leopard print coat. Not only will it keep you super cosy and warm, but you'll be both trendy and stylish with this little number. Just like the model, this coat can really dress up something such as an all black outfit. It transforms bland to bold through merely one item of clothing. That's one of the main things I love about the leopard print style, it's vivid and allows you to stand out from the crowd. No wonder it's popular right now. The coat is from Missguided for £70, students always get an amazing deal though, a life saviour if you're already drowning in debt thanks to student loans like me! The Night out Edit - Pretty Little ThingIf you wanna go all out for a night out, then the leopard print trend is perfect for you. How glamorous does the playsuit look? Pair it with some black heels or thigh high boots to really give that ultimate wow factor. The bodysuit is further eccentric through the flared sleeves, another favourite statement piece of mine right now. Pair the bodysuit with some leather jeans or even a black vinyl mini skirt and some boots to complete the look. I love that with this particular print, you can be leopard print head to toe or only through one item of clothing such as a top, bodysuit or even a pair of heels or boots. The playsuit is from Pretty Little Thing for just £22 and the bodysuit is even cheaper at £12, if you're freaking out about what to wear for a night out thats soon, stick one of these items in your basket and get next day delivery. No need to thank me! My Style - Leopard Print BootsOk so I am absolutely OBSESSED with these boots, they're so bold. They never fail to lighten up my outfit. It makes my usual black and white colour palette much more desirable and fashionable. I'm surprised I purchased them because they're slightly out of my comfort zone, but since trying them on, I've never looked back. They are perfect for both day wear and a night out with a leather skirt and a cute top or bodysuit. They are for sure my go to boots right now and probably for the rest of the year! I got mine from Pretty Little Thing for £35, there are some similar ones from River Island on the slightly more pricier side of around £60.

So sorry It's been a while, but it's took me some time to adjust to university life. I am absolutely loving it and couldn't be happier with my choice, it's just getting used to the workload (again) after a loooong summer of doing basically nothing. I've been really inspired and feeling super creative, thanks to my course, so thought I'd give an overview of my favourite SS18 shows and pieces! Vesace SS18: Gianni TributeI particularly loved this show because of the concept. The brand created a showstopper through their idea of bringing back the 90's supermodels such as Cindy Crawford (whose daughter also walked the show) and Naomi Campbell creating the biggest media movement of the week. After the death of her brother, Gianni the show was created in his honour and really showed how the brand has impacted the fashion world over the past 20 years. The collection had a really variation, almost as if glamour meets rebel. We had some luxurious pieces, combined with the leather biker look. In short, it really matches Gianni's initial vibe, to be daring. It speaks to those who aren't afraid to stand out from the crowd and as a woman, this is exceptionally empowering. Some of my favourite pieces includes those with a bold pattern work, such as the image above, as well as Kendall's pieces particularly on the runaway. Balmain SS18: The Child WithinIf you know my style well enough, you'll know I'm a massive fan of Balmain. As soon as I think of it, it reminds me of glamour and luxury (and no it's not just because the Kardashian's are known for both promoting and wearing it!). The concept behind the SS18 collection for Balmain is super interesting and personal to Rousteing. The inspiration, allegedly all started with a note which gave a nostalgic look back at how he felt when he walked into Opera Garnier. The collection continues to represent Balmain's brand values, through sequins, crystals and studs, reinforcing my initial interpretation of Balmain, glitz and glamour to the max. Rousteing's described his collection as "mature" whilst there was dazzling reds and vivid colours, this somewhat sensible approach can be proved by reoccurring black and white throughout the pieces showcased.
Ok so I've been working a lot these past two months, so that means payday equals a lot of shopping! All my fashion fanatics are in for a treat as I have a lot of clothes, shoes & accessories to share with you. I haven't stuck too my usual places e.g. Missguided and Pretty Little Thing, but instead had a blast from the past and went on a shopping spree in Topshop and Mango. It was like my old days of obsessing over and having everything Topshop! Topshop - Sleeve Detail & GinghamI've bought A LOT of tops from Topshop and I intend on buying some more, why? Because I seriously need a new wardrobe when it comes to tops, shirts and bodysuits. Whenever it comes to a night out and I want to throw on a skirt with a nice top, I struggle to find tops to pair it with. Nightmare. We all know there is nothing worse than having a wardrobe malfunction hours before you need to head out the door. Getting ready for a night out can be VERY stressful. I thought I'd save myself the hassle and buy some new clothes so when desperate times causes for me to throw on a top with something, I have a few I can pick from. My favourite one at the minute has to be the white frill hem jersey blouse. The frills really add detail to the item making it both an irresistible purchase and a stand out piece. Now, we all know just how much I love red, as I've mentioned 134839201 times. So it was easy for me to find the lovely bow sleeve top which is perfect for a night out or if you're going for a meal, etc. I've paired it a few times with my coated jeans or my black leather skirt and some boots. It adds a bit of vibrancy to any dull outfit, making it an easy go to if you feel a bit underdressed or want to stand out. Last but not least it the gorgeous gingham top with the bell sleeve detail. I love it simply because of the sleeve detail, it looks amazing and is so on trend right now. Not to mention how comfy the actual top is. Black and white goes with everything and anything, I've been wearing this particular top often throughout the day paired with some culottes and my Adidas trainers. It will definitely be worn more than a few times for University thats for certain. Gingham is still a popular trend, too, so I would get your hands on this little number whilst you still can. Mango - Flower Detail & EmbroideryDon't even get me started on this bag. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to get my hands on it. Honestly, Mango is killing it right now with their bags. I've been super into embroidery at the minute, so it wouldn't come as a shock to you that I would purchase this gorgeous little item. Not only is it pretty, but it's suitable for shopping sprees and carrying on your shoulder whilst you're out and about. It's the perfect size to fit your phone, purse, lipstick and anything extra you want to carry in your little bag. It comes with two different straps, dependant on how long you want it. For me, I usually use the gold chain as it goes more as there is gold detail where you open up the bag too. It's super easy to throw on with outfits and adds much more boldness to your overall look. I'm obsessed with bags right now, I've saw a black one and a red one I must get my hands on before they go. I'm such a shopaholic it's becoming a joke! Adidas Superstar OriginalsI've been wanting to get my hands on these trainers for AGES. And by ages I mean years now, but just never got round to it. First, I struggled to find the right size and then I ended up forgetting and spending my money on something else. As you all will be aware I went to Edinburgh about a month ago and purchased these beauties. I've never stopped wearing them since. You can probably tell because they are quite worn already, the Adidas logo has already came off the inside of the shoe, too. I know they are such cliché shoes, but I don't care because I love them. I can see why they would be popular as they not only go with everything, but look amazing. I've grown to become a huge fan of Adidas, which all started with my Stan Smith's. Another pair of shoes which I wear constantly. I'm sure my Adidas collection will continue to grow. They are super easy to pair with any outfit, especially for day wear. I especially love wearing them with culottes or a jumpsuit. Not to mention just how comfy they are! If you're thinking of buying them I would definitely recommend. Moreover, I purchased a size 5.5 although I'm normally a 6, therefore it meant they were only £49.99 instead of being over £70. Bonus!
If you ready my previous blog post, you will be aware I've really grown my confidence over the past few years. Looking back, I'm amazed I'm open (and loving) to wearing Vinyl. In fact, I am absolutely obsessed. It's such a statement piece and more to the point, it's suitable to style both day and night. I wanted to share my love with this new trend and reveal to you how I would pair it with other items too. Alicia Roddy - Black Vinyl Mini SkirtThis is such a perfect look for a night out, very sleek and sexy. I think vinyl is so statement and bold, I love it! It reminds me of Cat Woman in her tightly fitted one piece (#girlpower)! All black everything means you can never go wrong. I really enjoy the different choice of material, lace paired with vinyl is the perfect, vivid look. Moreover, who can go wrong with a gorgeous velvet prada bag? This is one of the most amazing ways to pair vinyl, especially if you're planning a night out with the girls. It's a step up from the classic leather skirt and I absolutely love it. There's so many options in terms of vinyl including mini skirts, boots, trousers or even dresses, depending on how confident you are in such a statement trend. It's so interesting seeing the way bloggers style this look, if you read my previous post looking for inspiration is a perfect way to evolve your style. Red Vinyl - Statement PieceWhat screams statement and dangerous more than RED and VINYL? I have been obsessing over red vinyl mini skirts. There are in so many of my wish lists currently, perfect for winter weather with tights, boots (thigh-high) and a jumper. Speaking of knee high boots, can we just talk about the red ones in the second picture from the 2015 Fall Christian Dior catwalk. Leather pants have always been popular, so Vinyl pants would of course be instantaneously stylish! Much like the first photo, you can really dress down vinyl pants with the graphic tee and some chelsea boots or loafers, for example. To dress vinyl up you could go all out with a statement vinyl dress or if you don't want to feel like you're the centre of attention a cute vinyl mini skirt is so popular right now. I would love to get my hands on one.
Ok so you might be slightly confused by the title of this post, but don't worry as all will be revealed. I wanted to create this because I've been thinking a lot lately about how much my style has evolved throughout the years which has all been very much down to my confidence levels. I'm aware that there will be a lot of people, like me, who are afraid to leap out of their comfort zone. I think todays post will be a combination of how you can go further with styling clothes and purchasing items, as well as how I grew my confidence which ended up heavily influencing my style. My Story - The Confidence BoostIt's easier said than done. That's the first thing I want to say. People who don't have much confidence in themselves often get the advice that you simply have to get yourself out there and whilst that's true, you can't always boost your self esteem with the click of a finger. When I started high school I really struggled to be outgoing and get involved in class as well as socialising. Whilst I did make friends I found the process incredibly difficult and stressful. Sometimes I would avoid going out or going to events because it was so out of my comfort zone, it worried me. I never really had much confidence in myself at all, which is hard in a school environment. Whenever I went to parents evening it was always 'She works hard and she's doing really well, but I wish she would get more involved in discussions and answering questions' or at least something along those lines. I heard that EVERY YEAR for five years from at least one of my teachers. I know that I was my own worst enemy. I wouldn't answer any questions or involve myself in a debate because of the fear that I was wrong or that I would be made fun of for saying a stupid answer. That my points were always wrong. I didn't want to be centre of attention with everyone watching. The problem with that is I am actually quite opinionated, but just in my head. I would constantly want to get involved but the words never seemed to come out. That sort of anxiety, the beating heart and the sweaty palms. It's mentally draining worrying about messing up or saying something wrong, to have those thoughts (often daily) is so exhausting and really effects your outlook not just on life, but yourself. At the end of the day, as I grew older I knew it was all down to my confidence. Even my teachers knew that was what held me back. I actually have to thank my Literature teacher for helping me realise I can do it and I am good enough. When I finally realised my confidence held me back, I knew something had to change. If you don't like the way you are or if you want to grow as a person, you have to change your ways. It was only during sixth form that I really started to become more involved. I realised the problem and I tried extremely hard to allow myself to be more outgoing. Sometimes that drop in confidence stops you from some really amazing opportunities or even something as simple as making new friends. I've always been quite hard on myself. Growing up in an era which has been surrounded by the rise of technology meant stereotypes allowed you to believe you had to look or be a certain way to be perfect. A lot of girls edit their photos or distort their face to something unrealistic to fit in with what society deems normal. I must say, I'm a victim of the whole 'instagram' popular and selfie thing. There has been times where if you don't get the amount of likes you normally do, you feel that you don't look good enough. For me, it doesn't surprise me that mental health has become a serious problem considering the pressure we have, especially girls might I add, to be perfect or to look and act a certain way. To accept yourself, you have to drill it in your head that to be you is an absolute blessing. Nobody is going to judge you for who you are and if they do, they aren't worth your time anyways. I've spent a lot of time feeling as though I'm 'too shy to be friends with them' or even perhaps feeling like I'm not pretty enough. It's something I'm overcoming as I mature and looking back, it's amazing to see how far I've come. In year 13, I actually involved myself in class discussion, I answer more questions and I even got through individual presentations without messing up the words or having that rather embarrassing shaky voice. It's all because I'm more accepting of myself. If you realise your worth, your confidence for sure maximises a HUGE amount. Even when you find yourself having a shit day or feeling like you look like absolute shit, mentally list five good things about yourself. Find something that lifts your spirits and distracts you from your own negative mind. For me, that's YouTube and fashion itself. People like Zoella actually really inspire me because she isn't afraid to talk about her anxiety if it means it helps others and I see a lot of her in me. Things you enjoy help you to take your mind off things. Even blogging, it really helped me to release my thoughts and further my interests. I feel confident making blog posts and its what I love doing. Find a hobby! A good group of friends who care about you is also so important, you need that stability and support around you. Don't be afraid to make new friends if that's what will make you happy. It's like a breakup, you have to distract yourself because feeling sorry for yourself won't help you move on. To be confident means you need to get yourself out there. The fact I went and did an interview for my course at University was such an achievement, they offered me a place and I'm so glad I trusted myself to feel good enough. Two or three years ago, that would of been like living hell for me. I might of even backed out because its so out of my comfort zone. Whilst I hated it, these interviews, presentations and discussions really helped me to normalise myself to being able to speak up and realise that my points and thoughts aren't stupid, but absolutely valid. Styling - My Personal EvolutionFashion is a huge deal to me. It's the industry I want to be in when I'm older and it makes me happy. It's my biggest interest, hence why I have a page dedicated to fashion on my blog. Fashion communication screams my name. Mixing fashion and media is what I'm good at. It's my thing. Blogging is my thing. That's why recently I've noticed how far I've come with my style. Even two years ago I wouldn't DARE to wear red because it was too bold and it might clash with my hair. I literally stuck to black and grey, boring right? I probably wouldn't of ventured into puffed sleeves and wearing trousers, no way. Anything statement would embarrass me, anything a little bit out there would be an absolute no because people might think I look weird. It's all changed now. I have a style that's personal to me and colours which really define who I am. It's funny to think that my wardrobe is now flooded with an array of red shades and I've even wore statement wide leg trousers out on a night out (as above). It proves to me that my confidence is really evolving. Believe me, to think negatively about yourself is draining. Living your life that way is miserable and you have to do everything you can to change that, but always be aware it will take a while. It's baby steps. For me, my favourite motto is: If you like it, wear it. Who cares what other people think, if someone says something it won't matter in a couple of days. They don't know you and at the end of the day, no two people have the same taste. It's like attraction, you might like a boy with brown hair and blues and your friend might love a guy with blonde hair and brown eyes. Imagine if we liked all the same people?! So why shouldn't it be the same with style? If you like something, buy it. Don't think twice. Style is saying who you are, it defines you. To shy away from it is disowning yourself. A few tips. Start with selecting colours you like or you think will suit you. I've always loved red and khaki, therefore I started with buying a red top or a khaki bodysuit. I tried it, I loved it and I kept buying more red and more khaki. It's a process. If you aren't confident buy a few items at first, even one, then once you feel comfortable buy more. If you like a trend, find a colour or pattern you like the most and go from there. You don't have to choose a crazy statement piece if you aren't comfortable with it. Adjust yourself to it and you'll end up feeling as though you could try something more bold. Puffed sleeves, don't choose the extreme if you're fearful of it! Go little and then expand (literally). I found following bloggers and even copying an outfit or styling items similarly helped me to explore the horizon. If you've bought an item and you aren't sure how to style it with other clothing, search it on google or look at bloggers with a similar item and see how they've done it. For example, a gingham skirt. I wanted one and checked out Lissy Roddy on instagram (one of my fave bloggers) as I knew she had something similar. It helped me to see what would go to complete the look. What's more, bloggers will really help you to seek inspiration. Follow styles you love and it will spark you to find your own style. Always remember It's baby steps. You don't have to go from 0-100. Take your time with your style, find yourself and what you like. If you feel your wardrobe is rather... plain, then stock up on accessories to try to add some extra detail to your overall look if different patterns and textures scare you. And for the lovely people who lack self esteem in their body, don't be shy! Get yourself out there. Who cares what everyone else thinks, as long as you're happy with yourself that's all that matters. We should all have body confidence, wear what you want regardless. Go wild.
I don't know how it came along, but OH MY GOSH I have been adding and saving to so many wishlists left, right and centre. I have so many trends and items I am absolutely loving, it's hard to say no to buying them. FYI I have no self control with shopping. I think one of the main reasons why is because autumn and winter is coming (well, almost) and if you know me well enough you know they're my favourite seasons to get creative with my style. Summer is for bikini's and that's about it. As I've gotten older I've became more confident with exploring the horizon. It began with experimenting with colour, then it tried out new trends other than jeans and now I'm just spending on anything and everything. One new love I have found is in trousers, something I've been wary of testing out because I'm used to skin tight jeans. The fur lined jackets are merely exciting because it makes me feel like winter is almost here and I have a fair few to show you. Wide Leg & Cigarette TrousersI just LOVE trousers. They've become my thing and I fully anticipate I will be wearing them for the whole of winter. First of all they'll be comfy, second of all they'll be smart, trendy and easy to throw on with other items of clothing. I've loved the wide leg trousers for so long now, I even wore some on a night out (no that did not end well, mud and dirt everywhere). What's good about them is that you can dress them up or down. The striped trousers can certainly be worn with a classic slogan tee for a super casual look. Perhaps to dress up wide leg trousers test out a bandeau top, if you need inspiration head over to my blog post where I pair the idea and it looks amazing. I wore white wide leg trousers with a red satin bandeau. I loved it. I think cigarette trousers are so smart and professional, perfect for work wear. I would definitely pair them with blouses or shirts and perhaps a basic tee if It's a super casual day. A turtle neck would go well with cigarette trousers in the winter, comfy and smart. Fur Lined Jackets & PinkI've loved these for so long! I've wanted one for a good year now and never bothered to buy one, sad times. Well it's different this year because I have my eyes on the second jacket from ASOS, once I get paid it will be straight in my basket. It's so gorgeous and perfect to slip into when winter comes. A perfect and trendy throw on when the UK promises it's super cold weather. I would wear this usually with some jeans and a simple top such as the striped top above. Whilst it might also look amazing, I see faux fur and straight away think COMFORT, how warm will it be? I know the pilot jackets and parka coats were so popular last year, something I'm still disappointed in not getting my hands on. Last year was all about the 'Oh I like that, but I'm too scared to buy it for myself and actually wear' hopefully it won't be a repeat this year. I love pastel pink (or anything pink) so this is the perfect jacket for me. I cannot wait to get my hands on it. That's all from me. I hope you're enjoying these blog posts where I reveal my favourite new trends and items of clothing, I'm currently thoroughly enjoying creating them. As you can tell I'm super excited for the next two seasons and cannot wait to go crazy online shopping for loads of new stuff. I'm a shopaholic, I know.
I've been obsessed with online shopping at the minute, my addiction is creeping up on me again. I have so many items in my wish lists I've lost track of the things I wanted in the first place! Considering this, I thought I'd reveal what I'm loving at the minute, including some sneak peaks of some possible autumn purchases. I really enjoy creating these style of blog posts, so expect many more. The top edit - ZaraDespite being weary of white, It's taking lead in my Zara wishlist at the minute. It's always good to explore your horizons in terms of style to figure out what fits you and your personality the best. I am loving sleeve detail right now, evident from my choices especially the puffed sleeves, it really makes the look more vivid and trendy. I chose red striped blouse because it can be worn for both formal and casual wear, switch it up from a day in the office to an evening meal or drinks paired with jeans and heels. I am also really into the ruffle look, it really makes it a statement piece. Embroidery is something I've been drawn to for a couple of months now, so it would be weird if it wasn't included. The first image looks absolutely mesmerising with the jewels and pattern work added, perfect for occasion wear. It looks both elegant and classy, as well as being an absolutely jaw dropping item! The Rise of the LoafersI've been noticing loafers for a while now and I haven't been too sure of them, but they've really grown on me now, I want a pair for every occasion! They are such an easy throw on to dress up or dress down your look and they're popular everywhere ranging from high street to affordable brands. People are very hit and miss with the likes of the fur loafers, but its secretly my guilty pleasure especially the Gucci fur Loafers. I love the shoes more when they have lots of detail to them, but plain black suede loafers are perfect to throw on with any outfit. They are such a statement piece and look both classy and stylish. A lot of these loafers are from Ego Official and Kurt Geiger, two of my absolute favourite shoe stores. That's all from me! I hope you've enjoyed my post today. What are your opinions of Loafers? I know they can be quite hit and miss, more so with the fur loafers for sure. Another item I've been looking at is coats (I know that it's still summer) but I get super excited about autumn because it's one of my favourite seasons for fashion. In fact I'm sitting here thinking about how I can pair my new coat with loafers and one of the gorgeous Zara tops or blouses.
It's good to be back on my fashion post, I must admit I've missed speaking about my favourite subject. This post has been a LONG time coming, I've been slowly deciding (and capturing) my favourite summer outfits, although admittedly most of them are more suitable for a holiday abroad as most of these looks were from Zante. Totally off topic, but I miss it so much! Hopefully you look my choice of outfits as much as I do. 1.Denim Embroidery & Vest TopsMy first statement outfit is very casual. This is perfect for an evening meal which is exactly what I wore it for on the last night of my holiday. I am such a huge fan of a denim skirt, especially with the lovely embroidery detail the skirt I purchased has on it. It has lovely flower detail with a hint if pastel pink and green meaning a nice light pink top would go perfectly with this skirt. I chose my stripped vest top as even at 9 O'clock at night in Zante, it's still pretty hot. I paired this with some comfy white sandals which went well with my top. I think this look would go even better with the lace up sandals or wedges for another outfit choice. What's so good about this skirt is it's suitable for any season, I wore it constantly in winter with black tights, my stripped pink and white jumper and my favourite pastel pink pom pom hat. 2.Stripped Tops & Jewelled SandalsWe have to talk about this top, I LOVE it. In fact I think I might of spoke about it before, that how obsessed I am with it. I bought this off the shoulder top from Missy Empire and literally goes with anything. It's perfect for day wear and evening wear making it very practical and completely worth its money. What's more, I've been completely obsessed with the off the shoulder look. I paired this with my white denim shorts, a black velvet choker and As wit my nude flip flops with jewel detail around the straps. Like my other outfit, I would also pair this with lace up sandals or wedges. You could wear this in the UK with some simple black jeans and heels for a more dressed up look! 3. Gingham & White DenimI love this look. Like my second outfit choice, Missy Empire does not fail to impress me. I love LOVE this gingham off the shoulder top. Although it can be somewhat fiddly due to having to tie the front top into three bows (and the straps are way too big for me and can't be adjusted DESPITE being a size 6) it's worth it because it looks amazing on. I think this looked amazing with the white denim shorts and my strapped white sandals as it's a casual smart look, perfect for the occasion which was going for a meal before an eventful night out. In Zante it's still very hot in the evening so definitely bring along with you shorts and short sleeved tops or at least comfy ones. Gingham is so trendy right now so I'm sure you can find this gorgeous top on Missy Empire or many, many other clothing stores. I decided to go for a bold red lip with this look as I feel it looks much more complete and adds a pop of colour to it! Leaf Print & Ripped DenimSo (as I'm sure you can tell) this look is much more suitable for a night out in Zante, which is exactly what this look was for. I paired a gorgeous leaf print bodysuit with my ripped denim shorts which provide extra detail through the pink pockets, although you can't really tell from the photos. Unfortunately my shoes aren't super flattering because I didn't want to take any shoes that could possibly be ruined so it's not worth commenting on, although they are from Puma but very VERY old now. I'm talking a good three years. I like this outfit because it's super jazzy and is super party friendly. I think there is so much detail through pattern and colour, as well as being paired with my metallic bum bag, so essential when you go to the strip in Zante. Ensures you avoid pick pockets and getting money or phones stolen in the clubs, safety first kids. I've been obsessed with leaf print since last summer so this is one of my favourite looks from my holiday. P.s. aren't the mini mouse ears super cute? That's all from me! I hope you've enjoyed this fashion based post. I've missed these type of blog posts, I feel as though it's been forever since I spoke about fashion. In terms of Zante it's definitely smart casual for restaurants and casual for nights out. Especially if you go to events such as paint parties.
Happy Saturday. I'm currently extremely buzzed because in TWO DAYS I will be turning 18. Yes, that's right. I will be an adult in just two days. I'm both nervous and excited. But enough of that for now, that all comes later on. Today I wanted to give a review on Sarah Ashcroft x In the Style because O M G. I am in so love with the collection. Stylish and SleekBeing a collection that is released just before summer, a lot of her styles are holiday essential. The first two images are perfect for a holiday night out or a throw over for your walk to the beach. The ribbed material is perfect for a comfortable feel (if you're all inclusive that's exactly what you'll be needing). Not only has she brought a collection suitable for day wear, but you can jazz up your wardrobe with some trendy going out clothes such as the sequin cropped top. The cropped detail is very Sarah, if you watch and obsess over her like me. She often cuts her jumpers to create a cropped look. I love the choice of colour, copper, as its extremely popular and looks amazing teamed up with sequins. I would wear this with a pair of high waisted jeans and some heels to a restaurant or for a night out. Comfortable yet glamorous. Something else I love is her embroidery on her clothing, such as her Denim jackets. She's also added in slogan phone cases, which are absolutely everything. Sequin and Satin VibesThese next few images pretty much sum up my current obsessions. For my birthday I was constantly typing in on the internet 'Satin dresses' and 'Sequin dresses' well, she's given me everything I could ever need. Despite not choosing some of her looks as my birthday outfit, her style is perfect for occasional wear. The nude pink satin dress with a gorgeous silk material is absolutely jaw dropping and would be perfect for a birthday occasion. The cropped tee gives mermaid vibes which I'm ALL about this year, any festivals you might have coming up, pair this top with a pair of denim shorts and you're ready to go. I am SO obsessed with the colour that seems to get lighter with reflection. Last but most certainly not least (in fact, it might be my favourite piece) is her pink co ord set. What girl can say no to under boob? It revealing and daring. I love it. The top is matched with some high waisted trousers, which seem to be widely popular right now. I bought my first pair of white wide leg trousers in October and NEVER looked back. The pink colour is absolutely amazing, it further creates a vivid look making the outfit perfect for a special occasion.

Hola, loves. I've missed fashion blogging BADLY. Whilst doing my A-Levels it's no surprise I lost my creative spark, in fact I was very demotivated. I wasn't even all that excited for my holiday which, as we speak, I'm currently in Zante either hungover or relaxing on the beach burning. Ginger problems. I'm making my blog posts and scheduling them for the week in advance so I have no excuse for not posting whilst away. Today I wanted to preach my current favourite trend, mesh detail and metallic detail which I was (sadly) too late to buy for my holiday otherwise I would of being wearing mesh and metallic EVERYYTHING. A Statement PieceIf you don't love this style then you're lying. Simple. It's amazing and PERFECT for a holiday. I love how stylish and statement it looks, giving off a great vibe. I am obsessed with the first image with a silver metallic cowl neck top. I'm sure it reminds everyone of Kendall Jenner's famous 21st birthday pitot which sparked a new craze. I love that the two tops are a bit revealing, if holiday's aren't for daring and out there clothing, I don't know what is. I love the rose gold look which has been so popular this year, alongside copper everything. This top is perfect for a holiday because it means you won't get too sweaty, I've had my eye on it for a while now. Sexy VibesI LOVE black mesh. It looks really sexy and played down, perfect for a night out. It glams up any casual jeans completing your overall look. The transparent detail means that you can buy a gorgeous bralet and show i off underneath the mesh top. The first top is perfect for a rather revealing cleavage and perfect if your boobs aren't, lets say, HUGE like mine because you can experiment with different bralet's. I would definitely go for a red lace bralet with the first long sleeved top alongside some coated black jeans and red heels giving a bold pop of colour to the outfit as well as a statement choker. Embroidery DetailIf this doesn't scream holiday vibes I don't know what does. How cute are the pineapple's which add extra detail to the mesh top. One of my favourite thing about this co ord is the hint of colour on the mesh which is a sort of purple/pink. Much like the model, I would go for a black underlay as you don't want to clash the colour of the mesh. Perhaps a bright pink bralet might further jaz up the look, after all holidays are meant for going all out, am I right? This look again isn't too covered so you don't sweat to death, but the mesh detail might cause for the material to stick to you if you sweat too much, so maybe this is a look for the night time when the weather is a little bit cooler. That's all from me! I hope you've enjoyed today's post. I'm so happy I'm able to get back to my fashion blog posts, which I love doing the most. What do you think of mesh and metallic detail? Personally I'm all on board for it.
