Maxi and Mesh

Skirt - Primark £8 // Top - Badley Drawn (through Utter Couture) £45 // Coat - Mango £45 // Shoes - La Moda £18 // Bag - La Moda £20 // Chain - La Moda £10 // Sun Glasses - Fendi £115

This outfit is a carefully pieced number which would be my persona choice to wear for a nice meal out or a couple drinks out. It's sleek and shows skin in the right places. 

I am obsessed with maxi skirts, especially in the summer as a daily essential. But this skirt has hardly made it out this winter so I basically built this outfit around my skirt so I had an excuse to wear it. It's my favourite piece in my wardrobe and it's from Primark.. yes PRIMARK!! Cheap and they look good, so why not. Along with me being obsessed with maxi skirts, i LOVE mesh. This mesh crop top I have featured on my blog before but it fit perfectly with this outfit, keeping the class but showing that bit of skin.

Out of my three winter coats this year, this jacket is my favourite because it's black and goes with everything I own. It transforms any outfit to a classy outdoor outfit fit for winter. I also have a thing for long jackets which is a big trend this winter especially. The best thing is that it was on sale, love you Mango.

Obviously I have worn my new favourite heels from La Moda with this outfit. For so long I have wanted a pair of heeled sandals like this so a massive thank you to La Moda for being amazing as always! I also must credit them for this gorgeous deep purple bag, so elegant and vintage. I was in London on Saturday at the Indonesian embassy with my mother and a few other people and i made my first public appearance with this bag, I think I have fallen in love. I had also bought matching lipstick by Seventeen.

The main inspiration for this outfit comes from the style queen Rihanna. I always have my eye on her fashion. When I put this outfit together I had these two outfits RiRi has worn which have stuck in my mind. The

 shoes, the split leg, the jacket and the crop are shown by Ri are different aspects of these outfits, and cost a lot
cheaper.

Christmas Party

Dress - Motel £58 // Shoes  - La Moda £18 // Bag - Vintage Shop £3

 Christmas work party? Well, Motel is certainly the right place to look for a festive glitzy outfit to stand out on your night out. This white sequin Gabby dress that the wonderful team at Motel sent me is definitely a dress for the festive season; the whole dress just looks pretty like snow. 

I teamed this dress with a gorgeous pair of heeled sandals from my favourites at La Moda. And yes they stock shoes now, how exciting!!! A simple black pair of heels makes sure all the focus is on the dress. I have never worn a pair of heels like these before and I have always thought they would be uncomfortable but these are fit to comfort. Simple, comfortable and not to forget, elegant. 

My next choice of accessory was this cute little black sequin clutch with the chain strap. I actually found this in my mums wardrobe but my god I would not have guessed it at the price she bought it for, what a bargain!!!

Silver

Aside from gold, we have silver. Silver gives you something that gold doesn't. Silver is delicate. Silver is calm. Silver is extremely pretty. I don't tend to buy silver but when this gorgeous little package arrived from Euphoria creations, I was extremely happy.

These two necklaces are from their metal pendant collection, the silver Hamsa Hand and the silver Ohm symbol pendant. I haven't had a chance to wear them out yet because they're so delicate and pretty I wish not to ruin them and just protect them forever. But I will one day because they are too gorgeous not to show off.

Euphoria do many types of these metal pendants such as a buddha charm, pentagram symbol, yin and yang, and crucifixes etc. As well as mental pendants, they have a collection of delicately beautiful gem stone pendants which are worth taking a look at. My favourite is the wire wrapped amethyst.

Gold

My jewelry collection dominates in gold. I love gold, and i wear gold jewelry with pretty much everything I own. Here is a small collection of my gold jewelry. The best thing  about all of these is that they are all from the wonderful LaModa. LaModa are an online company who started off just selling stunning bags at good prices, which is why they attract so many customers. They have now expanded to selling jewelry, accessories and now even shoes. As this company grows, each set of stock they get becomes more and more stylish, so they are definitely one to keep an eye out. Perfect for Christmas presents for the ladies.

The rainbow set is a favourite of mine. It reminds me of sherbet and is so pretty, perfect to wear with an all crisp white outfit. The triple chain necklace and bracelet is my most worn set. I wear it with everything really, mostly an all black outfit and gives it an edgy look. I wore the big  black and gold necklace in a previous blog post and I think it's a gorgeous statement necklace definitely made to stand out. Last but not least, these beautiful earrings in the style of versace are my all time favourites. I have had them for a while now and wear them almost everytime I go out.

The quality and design of these beauties do not reflect on their prices, so I advise you to have a look at all their jewelry. Lots of new stock and affordable prices.

Winter Chic

I find winter difficult to differentiate each daily outfit. This year I have two winter coats, a grey boyfriend coat and a camel trench coat, so there was a real struggle. My prayers were answered when I found this beauty of a coat buried in my mothers wardrobe (I don't know the origin of this coat, it was bought around 20 years ago). Hounds tooth is one of my favourite black and white prints. It's so classic and vintage and it fits perfectly well with my winter wardrobe. I ventured out in town with this outfit. Ideally I would have gone all black but I had no black bottoms that weren't in the wash, but white does it justice as well I think.

Chunky Boots

It is no secret how much I adore these shoes. I am sure many people do. These statement boots take the trend of chunky black boots and Chelsea boots to the next level. Stella McCartney has created the ultimate must have boots. I was sure to put these on my Christmas list, until I saw the price tag, £685. After expressing my desire for these shoes, it has come to light that there is a cheaper alternative which is, EBAY. 

So ladies, click this link and see if these cheap alternatives match your standards. (Beware though, these are distributed from China so will take around 3 weeks delivery). 

Italian Couture

The Italian in me is eager to release. Whether you know it or not, Italian Couture influences are most likely to be hanging in your wardrobe like now. The timeless creations of Italian designers have been demonstrated on high fashion catwalks for many years and it never dates out of fashion. Detail is what highlights the definition of Italian couture; from texture of fabric, to unique and adventurous patterns right the way to the detailed precision of embellishment. It all comes together to create the must-have timeless asset to your wardrobe.

As trends come and go, the importance of staying on top of the trends is a great task. Of course, a style culture as well established as Italian Couture will be the ones to set the trend. Big designers such as Prada, Fendi, Versace and so on have all impacted on the latest trends of today. 

Italian clothing has never been more easy to get your hands on. The expansion of Italian designer shops is large, boutiques to department stores in countries all over the world. Though the pricey attire, it is possible to recreate the flair with many high street brands now being influenced by Italian design. Of course all buyers are seeking for clean cut style, statement pieces, good quality clothes, and in trend styles. Everyone is looking for that signature item to purchase. It's evidently something that can be accomplished all through the year.

So winter is the season that has sneaked upon us. We look for sophisticated statement pieces. Colour blocking was big this summer season bringing vibrant warmth to the heat struck streets. Now as winter approaches, noticeably the large coats in pastel colours, camel and the ever reigning black is this seasons hottest. 

So add some international flair to your wardrobes and flaunt your signature pieces.

Sleek Black Glitter

Dress - Motel £65 ; Clutch Bag - £16 La Moda ; Necklace - La Moda ; Shoes - £40 Topshop ; Sunglasses - £1.50 Ebay

To state out the obvious, I have chopped inches off my hair and given myself a little fro. And look what lovely weather it is, November is treating us well. How deceiving does it look though, when in fact it was about 6 degrees. Aside from that, I've chucked together an outfit with some gorgeous pieces I have been sent by Motel and La Moda. Starting with the main beauty of this outfit, how gorgeous is this dress?!? It has just the right amount of elegance along with elements of a fun party outfit. This slender chic cherry diamond maxi dress from motel oozes elegance. See, I notice how my figure is lightly boyish, I lack curves. But for some reason this dress perfectly pinches my figure in the right places making me feel slim with little curves, and not just cause black is a slimming colour. And this piece is secretly slightly naughty too with a slit up both sides of the dress showing a teenie bit of leg and a slight v line back to it. And the best thing about it is SEQUINS!!! I looooove sequins. So this dress is a must have and may I add, have a look at the other dresses on the Motel website to fill up your party wardrobe and you will never have a night out without an fab frock. I accessorised this dress with a cute clutch and a statement necklace. Both of these were sent to me by the wonderful La Moda. The reason why I love this clutch so much is because 1) It's black and gold, 2) It is easy to hold, 3) It has ostrich skin texture with no harm to ostriches YAY, and 4) It's big enough to fit all your essentials, purse, phone, makeup, the lot. Now, the necklace I think is absolutely frickin' gorgeous. And voila, ready to party.

Autumn'ness

Black Polo Neck - Charity Shop £2 ; Skirt - Topshop £35 ; Scarf - Harrods £145 ; Coat - TK Maxx £29 ; Bag - La Moda £20 ; Shoes - Topshop £40 

Autumn is a month to dig out all the earthy colours. I only wore this outfit to 6th form but I particularly enjoyed it so I thought I would blog about it. Funnily enough, most of this outfit I had found whilst burying though my parents wardrobe. I always find the most amazing clothes from my parents no joke!! Like this Topshop skirt was a purchase my mum made many years ago. I found it about 4 years ago and stole it from her (with permission) and have never worn it since and I don't regret it. I love this skirt, it's so cute and makes me feel really like the girls in 'Clueless'. The scarf is apparently my dads favourite (sorry dad it's mine now), but it seems to go with everything and i love the colours and the tartan print which is very in this season. So it was 5 degrees, I managed to stay fairly warm today in my polo neck top and my scarf keeping my neck warm and my trench coat which looks thin but isn't actually bad at keeping me warm. Although, I do need to invest in some gloves, my poor fingers took the pain of the icey air. 

     

Tartan Trend

White shift dress, $48 ; Topshop black coat ; Dr. Martens black army boots ; Linda farrow glasses, $445 ; Pieces black circle scarf, $27 ; Elizabeth arden lipstick ; Yves Saint Laurent fragrance ; Grey nail polish, $14

Tartan is the trend of the season. The Scottish print is dashing the high streets of Britain in these cold autumn months. Here is an outfit idea, a little tartan dress with some cute black docs and a plain jacket would be a perfect autumn winter outfit. 

Black and Gold

Karl Lagerfeld black open front cardigan ; La Garçonne Moderne relax t shirt ; STELLA McCARTNEY black ankle booties ; Vagabond boots, $145 ; Vintage jewellery ; Janis Savitt yellow gold jewelry

If only i had the money but this is my ultimate wishlist to own these beauties. As you can tell I love black because it' so effortlessly classy. And the only way to accessorize with black garments is with gold jewelry. The symmetric bracelet on it's own is so simple yet does so much to the outfit. This Versace inspired pharaoh necklace is  so simple and really stands out on top of the black t-shirt. 

Pretty please is there a fashion God who will make these items appear in my wardrobe!

Black with Badley Drawn

Mesh Crop Top - Badley Drawn (uttercouture.com) £45 ; Jeans - Topshop £29.99 ; Black Buckle Boots - New Look £29.99

You can never go wrong with black and you can never go wrong with mesh. Which is why this cropped mesh top is the perfect purchase.

Sequins and Socks Rocks

Silver SASA Dress - Motel £60 ; Grey Coat - Topshop £79 ; Boots - New Look £29.99 ;  Socks - Primark £1  

So I got sent this gorgeous silver and black SASA dress from Motel (click hebsitere for website) and it has made me fall in love with sequins all over again. Sequins is definitely the embellishment of the season as it reminds me that there isn't long until Christmas now!

This little number is a perfect dress to wear for a night out on the town with a pair of black boot heels. However, I am not due to have a night out for a while, so I wore this sparkly number as a casual day time number, and the upside is that it sparkles lots in the light (yay)! With a snug boyfriend coat, knee highs and boots, it's the perfect Autumn outfit.

Happy Late Halloween - PEACE
