SUMMER IS HERE!

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a long while, unfortunately exams were my top priority for a long while but I am back and for good! I'm happy to say I will be posting every week with a new fashion or make-up tip so  watch this space. ::-D 

I'm also excited to start my blogs at such a vital time of year..... and this I mean SUMMER! Firstly, take a look at some of my top fashion pieces for the summer months. I have teamed baggy, loose tees with skinny jeans and tribal patterned shorts for that festival rock chic look. Also the high pony is my favourite hairstyle this month and I show you how you can work it for all hair types, styles and lengths.

1. Tribal Brights. Burgundy, pink and Black! (READ ON TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN WORK THIS LOOK)

I teamed these pieces together as I thought it was good alternative for those who want to try out new trends but in a more subtle and simple way. As tribal styles are instantly hitting the shops this summer I thought it was necessary to include. With the coloured jeans it appears both girly but laid-back but it ticks all the right fashion boxes.

Top: £6- Select
Belt: (Pack of two, black and brown) £4.99- New Look
Bracelet: £9.99- Argos
Watch: £9.99- Argos

My current shoe crush- shiny patent boots are a great alternative for those who don't want to go for the pricier option of  the doc martins! 

2.  Tribal Crop top

This rock chic girly style is great for those weather mixed days. Although, rain or shine this is a summer essential outfit!

WEDGES ARE A MUST ! These ones are from Primark!

These beautiful brown wedges are perfect for both day and night and are a beautiful fit, comfortable and a footwear savior. I have worn these with long dresses, shorts and jeans but ill leave the imagination and experimentation up to you, there is a ton of wheres these can be worn. 

New Season colours in VOGUE Magazine!

 

DEEP PURPLES! Vampish inspired make-up this October season!

 

A few days ago I got the October issue of vogue so excited to be introduced to the new season line-up and it did not dissapoint. It's also a great time for vampire lovers because dark colours are so in ! And guess who made the front cover, Twilight gurl; Kristain Stewart, WOOP WOOP! I have to say I fell in love with her make-up look here. The subtle dusty pink and purple smoky eye really helps to bring out the vampire in K-Stew and I loove it! To achieve this look I would reccomend investing the one and only "NAKED Palette" If you want me to know a step by step picture guide to achieve her look please drop a comment in the bar below. :D

 

Its all about the statement lips and eyes this season so dont be afraid to dare that red lip and smoky eye!

MY SUMMER HOLIDAY OUTFITS!

 

 

Look glam in these winning numbers!

Hey fashionistas! You may of not known, but I went on holiday for a week to Weymouth and the weather was gorgeous so I was extremely lucky! :) Whilst I was there I took some pictures of all my holiday evening outfits for you to have a look, gain inspiration and see how ive co-ordinated colours and added extra acessories for that glamed-up look.

 

 

Here is my first outfit and ill call this; "Beach babe." As it was a steaming hot day, seriously, temperatures were like 30 degrees?! I kept my outfit simple, free and flowing. I wore this denim styled beach dress - (from Primark- £9.99) with a period drama styled floppy hat-(from French Connection costing me an unbelivable price of £10?! The before price was £25) to add that sophisted appearance! I wore my sunnies from accesorize which cost me £4.50- Cheap I know! They were 70% of; originally were £14.99!

 

 

 

 

This outfit (below) I called vintage chick. I teamed a cream lace top with some burgondey shorts, keeping accessories simple with a gold ring, jeweled bracelet and a burgondey small bag.  This is one of my favourite outfits because it really shouts "girlie girl." Ive never been a girl who wears tons of  pinks so this is another way of creating that edgy girl look without coming across like a barbie doll.

Furtheron, my hair is just a half-up,half down style pined back with a grip. I felt a sleek straight look was perfect as I wanted to make sure all attention was on my shorts. For earings I used gold feathers as I felt gold complimented the cream top and my copper hair, making me stand out.

 

 

 

I wore these shoes with all my outfits displayed! why? well because they can go with anything! These cream gladiator sandals are comfy, flat and scream chic! For the majurity of my holiday I had my nails painted in two co-dinated colours- coral and yellow. I felt the colours are a summer essential. With my outfit above I wore my multi-coloured anklet- and wait... till you judge me and say "that is so out of fashion"! :P I am really determined to bring them back in fashion because I think they are so cute :') So watch this space for more "Kate orginal fashion"


OOO la la, sugar and spice! This little cutie is a lovely white and rose dress teamed with a white cardigan! I love it because it is so girly and sweet, a perfect outfit you can dress up or dress down, wear to a party of any kind, picnic or even a date! You can garantee a flood full of compliments! You cant see it in this picture but I kept my accessories simple with a white tear drop necklace fore that dainty touch!

 

Lastly, here is my current favourite outfit! This one sleeve,cut off shoulder top is to die for! I found this piece of gold in a little boutique and it only cost me £10?! I know, bargain! I love it because the combination of colours on this top can suit all hair colours and skin tones. The floral design glams up this look by far and im loving the dainty detailing on it too. I combined the top with some blue treggings from Matalan (£19.99) to make it smart and then added a few little accessories. A gold necklace and a handmade weaved bracelet!
