I started the year rocking this sparkly Quiz dress. The dress is one of my favourite pieces at the moment. It is a great party piece. I love how it sparkles and hugs my body like a glove. It is so easy to fall in love with this beautiful dress. I always get lots of compliments when I have it on.

If you need stylish party pieces with an OK price tag, you need to shop at Quiz. The brand has some of the most beautiful party dresses around.

 

 

Staying Warm this Winter

This is another look I really like. The sparkly cardigan by Apricot stole the show. The Russell & Bromley shoes look so good with the outfit. I guess it is easy to see why I like this outfit. Apricot is another fashion clothing brand I really like. I highly recommend them.

What do you think of the look?

This lemonade look is another favourite of mine. I love the pop of colour thanks to the NEXT cardigan. . The glittery scarf by M&S is one of my favourite. I also love my Kurt Geiger denim shoes. This is one look I can clearly see myself styling again and again. It is such a girly look I think.

 

A Skrit for Spring

This spring look is another fashion favourite of the year. Like I have said many times, I like wearing dresses and skirts in the spring/summer months. I find them very comfortable and stylish.

This River Island skirt is so great for the current season. I love the floral design and the crotchet top from BlackBetty is super stylish too! This outfit was put together so effortlessly. I love it.

 

 

Styling A Bodycon Dress

This is my most recent outfit post and it is no surprise that is makes the list. I love this New Look Bodycon Dress a lot. I am usually not a fan of bodycon dresses at all. But this stunning dress impressed me. The Michael Kors sandals suits the dress a lot, like many other sandals would do.

 

What do you think of these outfits? Which is your favourite and why?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5 Steps to Styling Shorts this Summer

Shorts are a cute and comfortable addition to the outfits to wear during the summer. They are casual and perfect for the warm weather. However, styling shorts is tricky. Here are 5 steps that can guide you on how you can style your shorts the right way.

  1. Select the right kind of shorts

The most popular kind of shorts people wear during the summer is denim shorts. They are cute and they look great with almost any coloured top. However, those are not the only type of shorts out there.

Shorts can come in different colours, patterns and lengths. In fact, there are shorts for almost every occasion. What you need to take note of the most is whether your shorts are comfortable.

 

  1. Choose a suitable top

When it comes to choosing the right top to complement your shorts, there are so many options out there.

You can style your shorts with a t-shirt, like your slogan tees. You can fly your t-shirt over your shorts or tuck them in to accentuate your waist. This is particularly suitable if you have an hourglass figure.

Crop tops are another option you can go for when styling your shorts. However, crop tops are not for everyone. You need to make sure that you’re in shape before you wear them.

An unbuttoned white or baby blue shirt also looks amazing with shorts. It adds a lot of definition to your outfit. A long-sleeved shirt helps to balance your outfit out.

 

  1. Play around with layering

Your outfit doesn’t only look great when you throw a cute top over your shorts. There’s so much you can get from your outfit when you play around with the right kind of layers.

You may think that just because the weather is hot you can’t add a piece of clothing over your top. The layers can help to add some contrast to your outfit and also give your ensemble some balance. Since your shorts are obviously short, you can layer it with something longer to balance it out.

Layer your top with a long light jacket, blazer, kimono or even replace your top with a long-sleeved shirt. The length of the sleeves will balance out the shortness of your shorts.

 

  1. Define your shorts with the right shoes

What kind of shoes go with a pair of shorts? For a casual look, ankle strap sandals would make a great fit especially if you’re wearing denim shorts and they are perfect for the summer. Another casual option is a pair of sneakers for your shorts. To add a little class you can put on your favourite high-heeled shoes.

 

  1. Finish it off with alluring accessories

An outfit is not complete without the right kind of accessories. First up is a belt. Most people don’t use a belt for their shorts. It really isn’t compulsory that you should wear a belt, but it could work as a good addition. Another set of accessories to style your shorts is a long necklace over your top to put emphasis on your shorts and a nice clutch purse.

 

Will you be styling shorts this summer?

Spring Jewellery Gift Guide

Jewellery is my thing. I love my earrings, watches, rings and bracelets. These days I go for the less is more approach when it comes to jewellery and accessories in general. I also go for quality over quantity. So I rather have a few quality pieces than a lot of junk that won’t look good after a few wears.

I have been lusting after a few items on F.Hinds and I am dying to spoil myself. If you go on the website, you will understand what I mean. These guys stock some of the most beautiful pieces of jewellery I have ever seen. Here are a few of my favourites on the website.
