Style B4 Fashion Haul

Not too long ago, I kindly got sent some lovely pieces of jewellery by the online boutique Style B4 Fashion. They are a up and coming online store that I am sure will go far with their lovely pieces.
I have only really got into the jewellery 'hype' this year. If you know me, you will know that I don't go anywhere without my skull rings on (accept work, damn uniform policies). I am a sucker for rings and I do love a good long necklace. I was extremely pleased when Style B4 Fashion sent me pieces that I know I will get plenty of wear out of.



1. Eiffel Tower Necklace (*)

When I first went on the Style B4 Fashion website, the first thing that attracted me was the Paris themed pieces. Having been to Paris a few times myself, I do love the City. I love this necklace because it has a long chain and I am one of these people that can't be dealing with the time and awkwardness it takes to do up a short chain; I'm just lazy and like throwing necklaces over my head. I really like the detail and care it has taken to create this necklace. It it is in good condition and looks more than the asking price. 

2. Question Mark Ring (*)

As most of you know, I love rings. I love rings that are unusual and are different. This ring is a question mark ring and fits perfectly. The colour is gold, but can also be purchased in silver and is a great price at £3.50. This ring fits my personality well I feel as I feel that I am the type of person that doesn't even know what they're doing half the time, so this ring is perfect for me!

3. Moustache Ring (*)

Again, this is a very unusual ring and I like that. This ring is such a statement piece that I think this ring worn without any other rings on the hand will look good. For some reason, the moustache print has been quite big over the last few years. I haven't joined that trend but I do like this ring; I especially like the gold trim as it makes the ring stand out. Also, I love double finger rings!

4. Eiffel Tower Ring (*)

If I had to pick a favourite piece, this would be it.Not only because I love Paris but the rose gold colouring is beautiful and the detailing of the ring is amazing. Again, this product definitely definitely looks more than the asking price of £3.50! This ring is such a statement ring, that I think this will look eye catching enough to be worn on its own without any other rings on the hand. 

5. Eiffel Tower Gold Earrings (*)

I haven't got my ears pierced but I so wish I did after seeing these earrings! Again, they are of amazing detail and a gorgeous rose gold tinted colour. I think they would look adorable when worn! They are in good condition and look more than the asking price. They would great worn on a night out as I imagine they are quite sparkly and pretty!  

Thanks again to the lovely team at Style B4 Fashion for sending me these lovely pieces, expect to see these in future posts.

I am absolutely adoring the pastel trend this season. Like with every trend, I have gone overboard. I literally now own every item of clothing in some sort of pastel shade - all I need now is a pair of pastel brogues, ha!
This post is focusing on how I would style a pastel outfit. I am a huge fan of Boohoo and they have definitely succeeded with the pastel trend. I personally felt Boohoo were ahead of the game with this trend as they were bringing out pastel pieces very early on. 
Firstly is the Lola Cable Knit Jumper. I must admit that I was a little skeptical when purchasing jumpers from Boohoo as I have always found them to come up much smaller on me, however, I was proved that I no longer have to be skeptical after purchasing this beauty. The colour is a gorgeous mint green and it also comes in three other colours; apricot, pink and stone. I really wanted the pink jumper but I had purchased the pink jeans first so I wanted a different colour and now, I wouldn't change my decision at all. This is honestly the most comfortable jumper I have ever owned. It is good quality, true to the pictures, true to size yet enough room to be comfortable, great price, warm and has a lovely pattern. This jumper goes with literally anything. I like to wear it with circle skirts, which I'm sure I'll do a post on in the future. 
Secondly, is the Katie Baby Blush Boyfriend Jeans. Again, I love these jeans. I was a little worried that they would be TOO pink but when they arrived, I had nothing to worry about. They are more of a pinky-peachy colour which I adore. They are feminine but not too much as they have the MOM fit to them which is great as they are very comfortable. The one thing I would say is to get a size smaller as I have found these are just a tiny bit too big for me as I like MOM jeans to be a loose but still a little bit fitted - or maybe I'm just too fussy. They are going to be perfect for the Spring/Summer time and they go with anything. I also think the turned up hems are cute. :) 
I thought I would add a buttoned shirt underneath the jumper which gives this outfit more of a "preppy" feel. I killed two birds with one stone really as both monochrome and heart patterned blouses are both on trend this season. This blouse is from New Look and has a boxy shape and short, turned up sleeves which you obviously can't see but I will probably wear it in another blog post. I am a sucker for collars poking out from underneath jumpers. Unfortunately, the blouse I am wearing must be sold out as it is no longer featured on the website, however, this is a very similar shirt but in burgundy.
On my feet, I am wearing Bass Weejuns Loafers. I bought these on E - bay from an American business shop and I paid about £45 for them. They are usually between £60 - £90 brand new (roughly!). They are so worth the money. They are comfortable and easy to walk in. I had been looking for a "proper" leather pair of loafers for a while around September last year and I came across these in the same month and couldn't resist. They literally go with anything, and being the colour black too. They look great with rolled up trousers and ankle grazers. I think they add a nice preppy, sophisticated touch to the outfit above. Again, unfortunately I couldn't find the exact same pair of Bass Weejuns, however, these are a similar pair. If you don't feel like breaking the bank, New Look have a great range of shoes with these loafers at the price of £34.99 and REAL LEATHER. 
On my fingers, I am wearing skull rings. The amount of compliments I have received from friends, family and customers at work is unbelievable. I have never received as many compliments on anything like I have on these rings. These rings are very unusual and definitely make a statement. One is quite big and one is very sparkly so it catches the light. The big skull can be found here and the sparkly ring found here. That reminds me, I really need to purchase these two rings again for the other hand haha :). 
Lastly, is my gorgeous dark purple coat from ASOS. I bought this in the sale about October time in 2012. I cannot remember how much I got it for, but I remember it was a bargain. I will be doing a blog post on my coats and jackets soon as I own enough to write about them haha :). 

I hope this post has inspired you to purchase some pastel items and they're are some lovely pieces around! How are you styling your pastel colours this season?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. This was the very first time I had my pictures taken for something like this, so I apologise for the sort of awkwardness, hopefully I'll improve haha :). Thank you to my lovely sister for taking the pictures for me. 

Until next time,
