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,

Angelina Jolie at The BAFTAs 2014 - THE Tailored Suit

This week is definitely a big week in regards to fashion in the UK. Three star - studded events are being held this week. The events are: London Fashion Week, The BAFTAs and The Brits. Basically, it's all about the London look.
This post is concentrating on Angelina Jolie at The BAFTAs and tailored suits.
The androgynous look is becoming more and more popular with the female population. Style and comfort is becoming a must. Angelina Jolie proudly mixed chic and the androgynous look as one at The BAFTAs this week.

Didn't Brangelina look fabulous together at The BAFTAs?! I remember when Victoria and David Beckham tried to attempt to pull off matching outfits on the red carpet a few years ago  (which failed immensely!) but Brangelina succeed!
Angelina looks gorgeous and definitely rocks the androgynous image and Brad is just looking at her adoringly, aww. The tailored suit that Angelina is wearing is from Yves Saint Laurent. Now, I am probably speaking for the majority of people right now but Yves Saint Laurent isn't exactly affordable, especially if you're a poor graduate like me. But it's okay! There are affordable tailored suits out there!

ASOS Tailored Jacket and Trousers:

ASOS Relaxed Blazer  £35 - found here

ASOS Trousers in Crepe with Slim Lapel £45 - found here

I am a big fan of ASOS' suits. They are smart and can be relied on. The Relaxed Blazer is smart yet casual with its fit. I can imagine it is a comfortable blazer. Sometimes, I find blazers can be quite tight and I can never really feel I have a lot of space to move around in fitted blazers. Therefore, I tend to stick to boyfriend blazers. This blazer would be perfect for a formal occasion yet can be worn with a pair of jeans for example. 

The ASOS trousers in Crepe actually are part of a matching set with a more fitted blazer. But after some consideration, I personally felt the relaxed blazer looked better with these trousers. But, the blazer which goes with the trousers is also listed on the link above if you prefer that blazer. :)

ZARA Royal Blue Blazer and Jacket: 

                   ZARA Buttoned Blazer £49.99 - found here

ZARA Ankle - Cropped Trousers - £29.99 - found here

This is a gorgeous royal blue tailored suit from Zara. Tailored suits don't have to be just black. Wearing this suit, you would definitely stand out from the crowd and would be making a great statement. I am a big, BIG fan of ankle grazer type trousers as they really compliment your ankles and look great with flats and boots. Ankle - cropped trousers are making a big impact on the fashion scene this year. (I own many pairs). I am also VERY impressed with the price of the cropped trousers at £29.99!. Usually Zara can be over priced I feel, but this is a reasonable price! The trousers look great quality too. This suit would definitely brighten up a dull office!. 

So, there we have it. My first blog post. How do you like to style tailored suits? Have you seen any reasonably priced tailored suits? Hope you enjoyed my first blog post (first of many!). :)

Lots of love,
