Dot to Dot

1. River Island Spotty Tappy Dress (link here) - £25.00

2. Black Fluffy Jumper (E - bay)

3. Dr Martens Polley Shoe (link here) - £90.00

I feel that I look slightly awkward in these photos haha, so I apologise! I had just come back from a manic driving lesson with my dad.

 At this time of year I think everyone faces the dilemma of what to wear because the weather is very hormonal. This is why I love layering with a jumper without looking too overdressed or under dressed. 

In this post, I am wearing a navy blue polka dot dress from River Island which I purchased via ASOS as then I can get free postage, yay! I love polka dot; it's girly and cute. Not forgetting that this dress has a peter pan collar and I looooveee peter pan collars. I wore a black fluffy jumper which I purchased from E - bay over the top. I love this jumper as it is fitted and can be worn with various of things, definitely a big staple in my wardrobe at the moment. I love how the collar from the dress sits perfectly on top of the jumper. 

I wore my Mary Janes Dr Martens, so this adds to the cuteness. Like all Dr Martens, I advise to purchase a smaller size as they tend to come up a little bigger. These are the first pair that actually fit me properly as I purchased a size smaller. I always feel like I should be at Primary School when I wear these shoes but they are adorable after all. 

Until next time,

Let It Roll

1. Lazy Oaf  Let It Roll T - Shirt (link here) - £40.00

2. MOTO Gingham Print Joni Jeans (link here) - £38.00

3.  (Similar) Dr. Martens Aggy Strap Ankle Boots (link here)  - £57.96

4. (Similar) Topshop Boxy Fur Gilet (link here) - £65.00

Firstly, I apologise for the lack of make up I am wearing in these photos. These photos were taken on a very busy day and I went without wearing mascara, I have realised mascara helps in many ways.
Onto the outfit. As the weather is slowly improving (yay! However, it is currently the type of weather where I don't know what to wear or not!) I thought I would go without a large, heavy coat and opt for the faux fur gilet which I feel is appropriate for this type of weather as you don't feel too overdressed or under dressed. I bought this gilet from Ebay a long time ago, but there is plenty of similar ones around, I just linked a Topshop one above. These gilets are very versatile and can be worn on any occasion and can be thrown on over anything.
 I have recently purchased the Let it Roll crop top from Lazy Oaf. The price of this is £40 from Lazy Oaf but I managed to purchase this on Ebay for twenty - something pounds. (I love Ebay me). I have also noticed this top on PersunMall a few weeks ago at only £16 but when I went to buy it, it was sold out :( I think it's always best to do a little search before paying £40.00. I saw this top on another blogger and I instantly fell in love with it. It is a cropped fit, so I'll probably wear it with high waisted bottoms. It has such a nice tartan print to the neck line and on the sleeves. The Let It Roll and dog image just adds quirkiness to it.
I paired this top with my Gingham Joni Jeans. I purchased these jeans around about the same time I purchased the Let It Roll top. (Yes, I purchased them from E-Bay, shocker). I think I may have to order many more pairs of Joni jeans as these are soooooo comfy and have a very flattering high waist! And I'm wearing gingham (shocker again). I love the gingham print this season. On my feet, I am wearing Dr. Martens Aggy Strap boots. These are not in sale anymore, however, I have managed to find some fakes for you if you're interested. They look no different to the originals from the pictures (link is below the pictures). I love these boots, they are super comfy, look great with anything and are different. The only negative is that they take an age to do all the buckles up and do the zip up but it's all worth it!
So, this was my first outfit I wore out without a big coat, I felt naked. BUT BRING ON SUMMER.

Until next time,

It's All About The Velvet

Velvet Burgundy Wine Oversized Shirt purchased from Wanderland £18 - website found here

Urban Outfitters BDG Velvet Leggings in Paisley - sold out but found here

Dr Martens Chelsea Boots £65 - found here

 One of my weakness trends of the year is velvet. I call it my weakness trend because I overbuy on the stuff. I just love the texture and feel of velvet - it just screams the 90's!
I am wearing an oversized burgundy wine coloured velvet shirt. I bought this shirt a a year and a half ago from Wanderland who have a boutique shop on ASOS Marketplace. This is the type of clothing I like to wear when I just want to throw an outfit on and feel comfortable yet stylish. If you love the 90's trend, you should definitely check out Wanderland on ASOS Marketplace as they have so many bargains and gorgeous pieces. The link for Wanderland on ASOS Marketplace is listed above.
I purchased the BDG Paisley Velvet Leggings in September 2013. I have received so many compliments on these leggings. The print is gorgeous and really distinctive. They are great quality and the velvet material still remains after many washes. Unfortunately, these leggings have now sold out online, however, you may be able to find similar pairs on E - bay or at other retail stores.
I have paired this outfit with my Dr Martens Chelsea Boots. I adore these shoes. These are my most comfortable shoes that I own. I purchased these via E - bay as they are quite pricey from the Dr Martens store; there are always a pair listed when I check on E - bay, so if you want a pair, it may be best to check on E - bay if you don't fancy paying Dr Martens prices.
Thanks for reading. On Monday I will be posting my Gingham wishlist.

Until then,

My favourite outfits from The Brits 2014

As stated in The BAFTA's post, this week is a hectic time for London and Awards Evenings.
On Wednesday night, The Brits were held at The O2 Arena in London. It's one of the biggest nights in the music calender but eyes were more on what the celebrities were wearing rather then what they were winning.
There were plenty of amazing outfits, yet there were some pretty bad ones. But, this post is about the outfits that I personally liked. I would just like to state that I own none of these photographs. I will source where I got them from.

Firstly, is the forever stylish Fearne Cotton. Fearne hardly ever puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion. Prada was the outfit choice for Fearne at this years Brits. The dress resembled a metallic look. Metallic clothing is going to be a huge trend this year and Fearne carried this trend off superbly. Fearnes' outfit was simple yet stylish with her silver bag and matching heels. If only this dress was from Fearnes' "Very"collection, then we could afford it :(

The next outfit I really liked was by Peaches Geldof. The outfit that Peaches wore was extremely simple but she pulled it off well. Even though Peaches is a mum of two, she rocked a gorgeous toned stomach (which I'm very jealous of!) in a black crop top and black leather skirt. And what's more?! Peaches proudly supported a high street retailer as this outfit was from none other than River Island!! (Yes, us mere mortals can actually afford this :) ) The clothes from River Island listed below are not exactly the same as what Peaches wore but are similar pieces.

River Island Black Leather - Look Pencil Skirt £30 - Found here

River Island Black Cami Crop Top £6 - Found here

Pharrell Williams is my next choice. The musician traded his trusted Vivienne Westwood hat for a classy Lanvin suit. The tuxedo was a sliver glittery colour. The trousers were tapered at the hem which I thought, suited Pharrells' frame and look. Pharrell finished off this outfit by donning black patent brogues. This is a very classy look, which I feel is a great trend for men. However, I spoke to soon about the hat. Pharrell performed his signature song, "Get Lucky" with Nile Rodgers, where Pharrell saw it to be a great opportunity to bring out the headpiece. All I'm going to say is, 'What a hat.'

Vivienne Westwood Mountain Hat $614.82 - Found here

My next two choices are going to be written together as I think they are wearing similar outfits. (Well, kinda). Beyonce and Lily Allen both wore sparkly, glittery numbers. Let me focus first on Beyonce. This may get me into trouble (I apologise) but I'm not going to hold back on my opinions as this is partly what my blog is for. I feel Beyonce is somewhat overrated (I'm sorry!). Beyonce is a great singer but I feel people treat her like a Queen. Saying that, Beyonce and Jay - Z are one of my favourite Celebrity couples. Beyonce, as always, looked gorgeous in a glamorous outfit with a reported 400,000 Swarovski crystals. The star wore a sparkling floor - length green dress which was by Vrettos Vrettakos. The dress was long sleeved and suited Beyonce perfectly. As I'm sure the majority of us can't afford the price tag, I have found a similar dress at Motel Rocks. It is the Gabby Sequin Plunge Back Dress which is £58 and very sparkly indeed. Lily Allen also wore a long sleeved sparkley dress. Again, this dress suited Lilys' figure and had a vintage vibe to it with its' turtleneck style and long length. The dress was a black number by Norrell; it was simple yet elegant.

Motel Deluxe Gabby Sequin Plunge Back Dress In Iridescent Green £58 - Found here

Lastly, my choice is Ellie Goulding. There have been articles floating around that Ellie Goulding and Kylie Minogue were the worst dressed at The Brits, however, I disagree about Ellie but DEFINITELY agree with Kylie. Ellie Goulding dazzled fans by arriving at the Ceremony in a dress fit for a Princess (quite literally). Elie Gouldings' dress was by Vivenne Westwood. The gown had a sculpted pink bodice with frothing white layers of netting from the waist down. This dress really complimented Ellies' figure and I felt the colour suited her.

These were just a few of my favourite outfits from The Brits. I just wish I could afford them! 

Tomorrow I will be doing a post on how I style my velvet pieces together. 

Until then,
