NYE Outfit

Hi Guys, 

I just bought this very sparkly skirt from Missguided and thought it would be great for New Year's Eve. Might be a bit early to start thinking about it, but I'm sure you all are! 

Sparkles are always big around the holidays, something to do with festivities and parties I think. 

I put together a little outfit of what would I think would look great with this ensemble and here it is...

I never ever wear heels, not that I dont want to, just being 6 foot tall is a bit of a hinderance! 

I loveee these peep toe ankle boots, they make it look a bit more wintery than just plain black heels. 

The long sleeved crop top is very 90's (which is very now) and covers up some skin, classiness and warmth preserved, as well as complimenting the peplum with a bit of midriff, but not too much! 

Some contrast nails would set off the colours a bit more, a chose this shimmery red because its a darker colour and the shimmer matches the skirts texture.

I'm also loving nude lipstick at the moment. I bought some from Boots today, got home and had left it in the shop! so sad. 

Smokey eyes would look great with the colours and perfect if you're going out. 

Light jewellery would top it off, but not too much as the skirt is already the statement piece. 

Finally a bit of bubbly and you're set for the New Year! 

This would also make a great Christmas party outfit.

I was going to save it for NYE but I know I'll be tempted to wear it next week for the end of term! 

Hope you like it!

My dream holiday wardrobe

In a couple of weeks I will be jetting off to Cape Verde with the Mother. I am beyond excited to get some sun and just relax. I have bought a couple of bikinis from Primark and I will be taking my charity shop sunhat and my finders keepers aviators, and as much as I love a student's holiday wardrobe, I can't help but think how the other half spend some dosh on their vacation attire.

Here's how I would spend mine (below). A few designer bags, bikinis, various accessories and some pampering products are the perfect essentials in a lavish closet.

My personal favourite is the Yves Saint Laurent red bikini, I love the colour and the fifties high waisted style, with the gold buttons, this would give anyone the confidence to be a beach knockout!

I would be living the life in luxury! All I would need now is my own jet to get me there.

Office Girl

 For the past three weeks I have been doing a bit of work experience in a couple of offices. I don't have a very smart wardrobe so when I found out the dress code was 'smart-casual' I hit a bit of a dilemma. Despite my lack of pencil skirts and fitted suits in my closet, I do have a good selection of blazers. Whilst putting outfits together I realised how easy it is to smarten up a look with the add of a blazer. Below are a few pictures (rubbish Photo Booth quality) of some of my office looks with three different blazers from my wardrobe. I actually got snapped in the top one for a street style blogger so I'm guessing the look worked!

 I teamed my shiny black Topshop Skinnies with a Blanco printed top and my black blazer.

 I chose coloured burgundy Topshop jeans with a simple black top and my cotton pink blazer.

 Finally, I put my blue H and M jeans with a navy top with my tweed H and M blazer.

 Simple Black 

 Drape Pale Cotton

Dashing Tweed

I created this mood board (below) on the Polyvore website to highlight a few of my favourite blazers of the season. I went for the two biggest shades that are trending, Bold & Pastels with a mixture of stand out tones from each.

 Topshop, Zara and H and M all have a great selection all at good value so even if your not strutting round the office photocopying things, I think a blazer is a must have for this spring/summer. Its easy to co ordinate and it's something light to slip over any outfit.
