Red Suedette







So it's clearly no secret that I'm slightly in love with the 70's trend and I'm pretty sure most of my recent posts have started this way so I can only apologise for not showing much versitility but we're still on trend so it's all good. I'm so happy to add this beauty to my suede collection especially as it's so different. Mostly suede pieces are creams, browns and blacks so I guess for that reason alone I'm pretty in love with it. Adding a simple top underneath and chunky platform boots keeps this outfit super casual but it also has great potential to become a super edgy 'going out out' outfit with a pair of killer lace up heel/boots and leather jacket. Another awesome thing about this dress is the A line shape which is perfect for most shapes as if your smaller you will be enhanced but if your curvy like me it will fall over your curves perfectly. It's lightweight, detailed, bang on trend and a beautiful rich colour for Autumn.

Give it some Flare


I think it's safe to say that I am 100% obsessed with the 70's trend and what says 70's more than flared jeans. A lot of people tend to avoid flared jeans as they think they can be swamping but it's quite the opposite. Of course it would be fabulous but you don't need legs like Kendall Jenner or Lily Donaldson to pull the flares off. Carry on reading to see how any shape or size can pull off the flared look. Don't get me wrong I was very dubious about trying flares as I am only 5'5 but like I said above you don't need killer legs, just a pair of killer heels. I picked these beauties up from Glamourous  for £32 which I'd say is a pretty sweet deal as they are extremely versatile. Not only are these perfect for the Autumn and an awesome statement piece but they are stretchy (Love heart emoji) so still really comfortable when you've had one too many roast dinners. 

My tips on how to wear flares:
  • Don't be afraid to turn the hem up on your flares so you can wear them with flats for an every day look.
  • Aim for a slim fit around the waist, hips and thighs with the flare splaying out from the knee.
  • If your petite then you will look best in bootcuts as large flares can overwhelm your frame.
  • If you carry your weight on your legs, bum or tum then wider flares are absolutely perfect for you.
Don't be afraid to step out in flares girls...it's just about finding the perfect ones for your shape.

Essential Wednesday






What can I say about an easy Wednesday look other than it's easy. It's so simple to create a causal but sleek outfit with an oversized jumper, ripped Jeans and lace up heels. Heels can really pull a causal outfit together especially if your wearing super ripped Jeans which can look messy. This slouchy knit jumper is perfect for this season and isn't too thick so your easily able to team it with anything else. These pieces are simple staples to have in your wardrobe as they are so versitle which means you will have never ending fun with styling them. Sometimes it's great to keep it simple. Enjoy the rest of your week my lovers.

Nudes







Camel colours are always awesome for autumn and is such an easy colour to dress up or down. I went all out with the different shades of camel which makes a really neutral but strong outfit. Firstly I have to start with this beautiful suede skirt from River Island; when I saw this I expected it to be really stiff, thick suede but its surprisingly thin and stretchy which obviously, makes it really comfortable. I teamed it with this ribbed turtle neck top; this top is perfect to make any outfit pop this season especially with the high neck which is a lot hotter than the weather right now.

This furry textured jacket/coat is one of my favourite purchases this Autumn/Winter. It was an absolute steal at only 25 quid from Primark and was totally worth it. Not only do I love the colour as it's so chic and classy but the short fur makes it a bit more edgy and fun. The tailored jacket keeps it super flattering and really easy for it to be part of your outfit and not a separate piece that is just being used to keep warm.

Finally we have these killer heels from Boohoo. It may not be sandal season but I really couldn't resist them. I mean just look at how beautiful they are. The lace up to above the ankles makes these incredibly easy to walk in as your feet are supported 100%. I'm not saying you could run a marathon in them but they are probably the most comfortable heels I own. Go and have a sneak peak at Boohoo's new season because it is looking awesome.

Forever Retro







Retro clothing is one of the key pieces in my wardrobe right now from oversized shirts to boyfriend jeans which makes it suoer easy to create a casual outfit but today I styled a more smarter retro outfit. With an oversized shirt, fedora had, chocker necklace and pencil leg trousers you have a simple and easy smart retro look. When styling an oversized shirt that will be the base to your outfit so if you are wearing a loud print shirt then loads of accessories aren't necessary. Retro clothing is a great way of expressing yourself so don't be afraid to try something different. There are so many retro clothing stores out there so check out my favourites below. Keep it edgy ladies and gents.

Review: Bourjois Velvet





Hey you beautiful lot. Today I will be doing one of my favourite things and that is of course a cheeky review. I'll be having a natter about Bourjois's Rogue Edition Velvet in colour Don't pink of it number 10. 

So lets get down to business. Usually with matte lipsticks they can be quite heavy on your lips but of course as the name suggests it's extremely velvety and creamy. It doesn't just dry out making you end up looking like one of Kylie Jenner's extremely matte cars. I can't say enough how long lasting, bold and rich this product is. I also really love how simple but effect the bottle is, I may be easily pleased but the packaging is really elegant and rich looking. If I'm honest I can't really praise this enough and I genuinely can't wait to get my hands on the other 11 colours. 

If I had to give you one not so good thing about this product would probably have to be the smell. It's not a problem at all but it is a little odd. I definitely wouldn't let that put you off though as I does go as soon as it's applied. Price wise; it was nine pound which is few bob more than your Maybelline or Rimmel but on the other hand a hell of a lot cheaper than your Lime Crimes or Mac's so price wise I'd say it was pretty middle of the range. Finally when applying I would suggest to use your finger to get a softer look. 

I hope this helps you guys. Go and get your velvet on  below and I will see you on Thursday.
