Top ten fashion faux pas

Thought this was interesting from The Metro this morning...

Rant


So I have just seen the most ridiculous thing this morning. The beloved Michael Kors handbag, chucked on the tube floor. 


That's right, an uninterested girl who clearly does not value this bag enough to place or even throw it on the floor. The dirty Piccadilly tube floor, that thousands of dirty feet walk across on a daily basis.

Infact if she does not value it enough, happily give it to me!

Fashion faux pas, rant over.

My top 10 Christmas jumpers

Yes that's right. You know you want one. Well I have put together my fav top 10!

My favourite jumper has to be Missguided's black jumper. It is not too much in your face but adorable with simple reindeer prints in the middle. You can't also go wrong with the price too.

Time to get festive!

This week a particular pair of heels has caught my eye. With the Christmas period creeping closer, I think they are just a tad appropriate.

Laconic Party Stiletto Heel Women's Pumps With Solid Color and Cross Straps Design
These stiletto heels that caught my eye are from an American website called Sammy Dress. What it is even better is that they ship worldwide. If you are American and you are reading this, obviously you would not have that problem, but for the Brits it is something to consider. From dollars to pounds they are priced at £10!

I also love that they have a shoe size converter, just to make sure the right size is ordered.

Uggs

I love uggs. But the moment I experience my first stain on them; my heart brakes. 

Surely they should come with stain protector? I mean you pay enough for the sheep skin. To be fair I have had my grey uggs for near enough a year so to have one stain now I guess is a bonus. But I still would prefer no stains. 

In school I am not ashamed to admit I wore fake uggs. I had no money at that age, and no mummy and daddy were not going to spend 200 pounds on boots. I guess now that is why I value them more. I save-up and treat myself. 

The funniest thing about the fake uggs was when they kneeled to the side. Anyone could tell from a mile away they were not real. Ugg sign or no ugg sign. 

Anyways back to the subject. I do think they are worth it though. Not only for the most obvious reason of keeping
my feet warm, but they are also comfortable. I was hesitant when I was told to purchase a half size smaller but three uggs on, I prefer uggs any day.

Jeez Louise

Phwoarrrr!
I might not have the boobs for this but what a dress.

Bodycon Midi Dress with Multicolour Print, £24.95


Not only do I love that these two patterns come together as a dress but I love that it is a midi length. I have not seen anything much unique and I am fed-up of these typical catty dresses. This is a killer dress! This monochrome pattern, but with a red and green twist, separates the colours being just a plain dress. I would not say it is the most sophisticated dress with the cross cleavage section, but it is definitely a dress to turn some heads. 

If this pattern was a midi skirt, I would  personally probably struggle to find a top. I would probably go for the obvious choice of a plain white or black bralet top, however I love that this is a onepiece. The crossover keyhole top joins a stretchy material, which is probably even better for a curvy customer. 

Nude heels blends-out the black and makes the shoes stand-out too.

This weeks top buy

I have been feeling down in the dumps this week, so what better way to cheer a girl up than some retail therapy! Yet why is it whenever you have money, you find nothing. But when you do not have money, you love every single item in the shop. 

I did however manage to find and fall in-love with something. 

This cream faux fur is in my eyes perfect for winter. Not only is it soft but I'm in love with this unique bowler bag, from River Island. Coming from a rather obsessed bag person, this has got to me the most out-there and eye-catching, for the right reasons. 


Why settle for the typical black bag? 
And if not you can find this from www.riverisland.com
Or visit the store and see for yourself for £40 


Did I mention how soft it is!?

Marilyn Monroe

Picture of Marilyn

I am in love with this Marilyn Monroe dress from Lucy Meck's boutique. I am even more in-love with the price. This dress has been reduced from £32 to £20!

http://www.lucysboutique.co.uk/

Very Made In Chelsea

Day or night this dress is perfect!


Missguided, £24.99

This collared dress looks stylish with boot heels and a bag for a night-out or even a hot date. The white colour  collar helps break-out the black, and as for the bracelets, they are toned-down to emphasise the dress.
Personally, I would say gold or silver jewellery would work better with this outfit, but not on the neckline, as the collar is statement enough.

As for the day, team this dress up with black tights and ankle boots, and this dress can be pulled-off anywhere and everywhere.

If you are struggling to find boots, try these quilted heeled ankle boots from Asos at £40

I would even say black ballet pumps or black converses may even do the trick too. This dress can go from either a chic evening-out or casual wear in seconds.

As you all know and probably do not need reminding, it is frikin freezing in the UK, so what better way to finish this outfit with, but with a jacket?

My choice is an Aviator jacket. Not only am I huge leather jacket fan, but with the white fur on the collar, it is just perfect, and I can imagine warm.

Black (Black) Black Longline Aviator Jacket  | 288123901 | New Look
This jacket is on sale at the moment at New Look for £29.99 so grab them fast!

Invest & Avoid

Leather is deffo hot this season. And let's face it, so are pencil skirts (maybe due to the advantage of not needing to shave half your leg) 

Now combine the two...

Bingo 


Introducing the leather pencil skirt from Asos for £86.66 
It may be a bit pricey for some but I'm sure this hottest piece of fashion will catch up to the rest of the high street. 
I would definitely recommend investing in this. 

This may not be exactly what I'm getting at but here is Towie's Lauren Pope pulling off a classier look with a red leather skirt. 



Miss Congeniality's Sandra Bullock too 

Now as for avoid....


I really am not a fan of velvet. Velvet blankets maybe. But velvet clothes? Not a chance. I know it is creeping more and more back into fashion, but in my opinion, I shall be avoiding this 100 per cent.

No! What are you doing!

Do not get me wrong, I am a big fan of Helen Flanagan. She reminds me of a young updated, Marilyn Monroe, with her blonde hair and red lipstick.

Besides having her face tattooed on her inner arm...



However, I have to say, while I love her, her style and her hair, with and without extensions, this outfit for her sisters 21st did not do it for me!

Smart casual: The actress finished off her outfit with a pair of platform boots

Hair up or down was never a problem for me, as even with a doughnut in her hair, she looks effortless stunning, but this outfit was a fat let down. I am a massive fan of leather jackets, do not get me wrong, and I can see why the shirt was wrapped round for a rough Rihanna edge look, but it just did not work. She should not let her stylist control her night-out outfits as she could not have got it anymore wrong.

The metallic Topshop skirt was not the problem, because teamed-up with tights and ankle boot heels is perfect on a Winter night out. The leather jacket would have been the only choice of coat that would have looked-well in this black chic outfit, as well as the baggy top. But like I said, WHAT WAS THE NEED OF THE SHIRT!

Party time: Helen appeared to be staying off the alcohol after driving to the restaurant

The clash of the red and blue checked shirt, and the black Burberry signature print tote could not have clashed anymore. I am a massive bag lover fan, so yes I am in-love with this bag, but just not with this unusual outfit.

Struggling?

If you are like me, who rely's on the High Street for a dress on a night-out, or website's like Missguided, but struggle to find anything you love, but settle for a dress you like, well no more!

There are other places to shop. Just because they do not have a fancy add, does not mean they are not any good.

On a day-off, which was rare, I came across this website, www.pinkboutique.co.uk

Pink Boutique is a celeb inspired internet based clothing boutique, based in the UK.

What I love about this website, is not only the fairly cheap price, but the uniqueness of the clothes. They're different, and stylish, and I even brought my sisters birthday outfit from them!



The one on the right!




This simple but stylish outfit does not even cost a lot. And with a simple gold chain, the monochrome colours look stunning.

These aztec leggins are just £12.95

Crystal (Clear) Gold Diamante Bow Necklace | 293419990 | New Look

If you wanted a simple necklace, these bow diamante necklace is just £5.99 from New Look.

However, if you are an accessory lover, you will love these bold statements...

Gold (Gold) Gold Twist Chain Necklace | 281970993 | New Look
This gold twist necklace is £6.99 from New Look

Gold (Gold) Gold Stretch Chain Choker Necklace  | 279443593 | New Look
And this is £9.99 from New Look
