Fashion and Style – Best Looks of 2018

Fashion and Style Police was created as a result of my obsession with fashion. I am a lot better now that I am a mother and I have other things to worry about. But I still make out tome for fashion and style and I can help writing about fashion. Last year was a busy year in the fashion category on the blog. I made sure I took as many outfit photos unlike previous years.

Here are some of my best looks from last year.

 

A Slice of Lemon

I took this photo whilst on holiday in Maryland, USA, last year. The lemon long sleeve top by Next and the Kurt Geiger shoes are the highlights of this outfit.

 

 

A Jumpsuit of Many Colours

I am a jumpsuit lover and Femme Luxe came through with this colourful jumpsuit. It is such a beauty, perfect for the summer months. I love the fact that it is super easy to style. It is definitely my favourite jumpsuit at the moment.

This look screams chic. The orange and black look great paired together. I think the highlight of this look has to be the Miss Selfridge black leather jacket. It looks so stylish and chic. Love it.

 

 

Christmas Jumper

I really like this look. The Boohoo Christmas Jumper is the highlight of this outfit. It looks lovely and goes really well with the UGG Boots. I am looking forward to wearing this stylish Christmas jumper over and over again.

This is definitely one of my favourite looks in 2018. I love the XY London blue flats, they look amazing. The Tommy Hilfiger denim shirt is another favourite piece of mine. The pieces and accessories complement each other beautifully here.

This black and purple outfit is another favourite of mine. The Michael Kors Purple bag is one of my favourite in my bag collection. I love everything about the bag. The black one shoulder dress by Femme Luxe is simply beautiful. Looking forward to wearing the hell out of it this summer.

 

 

Wearing a White Vogue Crop Top

I stepped outside my comfort zone with this outfit. The Femme Luxe White Vogue Crop Top is definitely the highlight of this look. I shy away from crop tops normally, but thanks to this Boohoo High Waist Skirt, I made the look me.

This River Island dress is one of the most beautiful dresses I have presently in my wardrobe. It is so sparkly and pretty. I love everything about this piece. Looking forward to wearing it some more this summer.

This orange bodycon dress by New Look is a winner in my eyes. I love the design and it fits like a glove. It is another favourite piece I am dying to wear this year.

Style Tips for the Smart Casual Look

Smart casual is another look I love styling. It is quite easy to get this look right. If you read my last fashion post about rocking the casual daywear look, then you will know all about my love for the trend. The smart casual look is also close to heart. It is another look I found myself styling pretty much everyday some years ago when I worked for an energy company in Manchester.

For those who are not sure what this trend is all about, here is a definition for you. The Oxford Dictionary defines the smart causal look as “neat, conventional, yet relatively informal in style, especially as worn to conform to a particular dress code” Here are some style tips that may come handy if you intend to style the smart casual look –

 

Get a blazer

Rocking a blazer is one of the easiest way to add smartness to a causal look. A blazer has the power to add a touch of class to your regular casual look. And it does so effortlessly.

Knee-length pieces

My love for smart causal became stronger when I became a Mummy in 2013. It is easier to attend an event with twins looking dressed in a smart causal outfit than going all out with heels and minis. The smart casual look is easy to nail with knee-length dresses and skirts rather than minis.

 

Linen works in the warmer months

In the summer, linen works great for styling this look. Opt for chic linen trousers instead of jeans or leggings.

Add a clutch

A stylish clutch adds some more glam to your look. Go for an all-purpose clutch with some subtle beading to get this look right. I am usually not a clutch girl but I have invested in a couple this year, and I am glad I did. They are super handy to have around.

 

Are you a fan of the smart causal look? What do you like about it?

 

 

 

The Kiddies Review Syrup and Salt Clothing Brand

I am always on the lookout for great kids clothing brand for the kiddies. So I was thrilled to discover Syrup and Salt. For those who have never heard of Syrup and Salt, it is an independent fashion label created by Kate Harrison, from her North Cornwall design studio. It is a fun-loving brand with stylish collections. The brand has a unique collection of stunning Sweatshirts, Tees, Kids Clothing and Jewellery.

Syrup and Salt Sweatshirts

The Kiddies had the opportunity to review pieces from the sweatshirt collection for 2018/2019 . My son got the Yellow Kids Sunshine and Waves Sweatshirt, while my daughter got Grey Kids Sweatshirt with Glittery Lightning Bolt (Pink Highlight).

Our mini photo shoot was fun as always. The twins enjoy taking photos, especially my daughter. She has a new pose for every new shot!

We really like these Syrup and Salt Sweatshirts. They are colourful and stylish. I really like the creative designs. The Grey Kids Sweatshirt with Glittery Lightning Bolt (Pink Highlight) is such a beauty. My daughter really likes the glittery lightning bolt with pink highlight. She has worn it a few times already as it complements her existing wardrobe so it is easy to style. The sweatshirt also washes really well which is a plus.

My son’s Yellow Kids Sunshine and Waves Sweatshirt is also very pretty. I love the bright colour, yellow looks lovely on him. The waves design is also very stylish. It reminds me of the summer months, which I am seriously missing at the moment. He has worn it a couple of times as well and it washes very too!

You can grab these Sweatshirts for £30 each on the Syrup and Salt website. They would make great Christmas gifts this season. There are also other Sweatshirt designs available for kids and adults, so there should be a piece for everyone. There are also unique designs of Tees, Baby Vests and Jewellery available.
