OOTD: Blue is the New Black

May 21, 2017 By in Fashion, Outfit Post Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , 60 Comments

I have always loved blue, especially the navy/midnight blue shade. I think it is the closest shade to black, a more fancy black if you like. Blue is the new black!

It is the season of dresses, and I am wearing a Navy Blue Chiffon Embellished Short Dress by Quiz Clothing. This stunning blue dress is one of Quiz Clothing’s Occasion Dresses and I think it is a true beauty.

I collaborated with Quiz Clothing to showcase the brand’s new bridal range. I was paired with a blogger – Sarah from Let Them Be Small, and she choose the lovely dress, shoes, clutch and bracelet for me. I love them all, and I think Sarah has a great taste.

I really like this dazzling dress. It is perfect for the party season, a great piece to wear to a wedding or even dinner date. The detailing on the dress is amazing. You can tell a lot of thought was put into designing it. The diamante embellished waist is simply stunning. This dress is definitely a party essential.

The sparkly accessories finished off the look beautifully. I love the Silver Diamante Mesh Courts Shoes. It looked amazing paired with the dress, and was super comfy too!

I really like the sparkly jewellery and accessories I had on here. Wearing the shoes was like stepping into glamour. The mesh outer, embellished with diamantes, these courts and high shimmer heel, helped create the perfect footwear for this look.

The Silver Glitter Envelope Clutch Bag is also a great accessory for this look and any party outfit. I love the glitter fabric with silver detailing, there is something so glam about it. And the Silver Diamanté Cube Clip Bracelet with Diamantes arranged in a chain style bracelet, looks really great. Apart from it being a beauty, I found it easy to put it on and take off.

Victoria Beckham Covers ELLE UK May 2017

April 29, 2017 By in Magazine Covers Tags: , , , , , , , , , 17 Comments

The lovely and talented Victoria Beckham covers ELLE UK Magazine May 2017, and she looks amazing on the cover. Victoria Beckham talks about her family life, building her fashion empire, and working harder than ever in the May issue of ELLE.

Now, this is one issue I need to read. I got a copy some days and I am looking forward to reading it from start to finish this bank holiday weekend.

I love her makeup, hair and outfit. I think she looks stunning.

Here are some excerpts from Victoria Beckham’s interview with ELLE UK Magazine –

Her days as a Spice Girl

“Being in the Spice Girls was so much fun, but I was never the best singer or dancer. I learned an enormous amount during that time, though: the staging, the lighting, the costumes – the package excited me. But I love fashion – this is what I’m genuinely interested in… When I look back at my past self, [the way I dressed and behaved] was probably a sign of my insecurities. I feel quite confident in myself now – getting older doesn’t bother me.”

I can see she is a lot more comfortable as a fashion designer than as a singer, and I am happy for her. She has found her calling, and that is not an easy feat.

On her social life

“I don’t tend to go to parties, but if I do go out for dinner, I like to have a drink and really have fun… I’m really good value at a dinner party – I want to relax and have a laugh. I like to have fun, and I think that often surprises people.”

Yea that bit surprised me as well. Good to know she lets her hair down.

What do you think of this ELLE cover? Are you a fan of Victoria Beckham? Have you read this issue?

Fearne Cotton Covers Cosmopolitan Magazine UK April 2017

April 1, 2017 By in Magazine Covers Tags: , , , , , , , , 23 Comments

The lovely Fearne Cotton is the cover girl for Cosmopolitan Magazine UK, and she looks great!

I love everything about this cover. I read Fearne Cotton had on her regular everyday makeup for the photoshoot, and I love that. She kept it real and why won’t she? She is a natural beauty and she slayed the cover!

I am yet to pick up this issue. I have not had the time to read as much as I should, but I am hoping to make up for that this April. I am also hoping this issue is still available on the newsstands, it looks juicy!

I have read Fearne’s letter to her 18-month old daughter, and I think it is the sweetest thing I have read in a very long time.

Here are some excerpts from the letter –

“No set-up will ever be perfect because life is not supposed to be that way. Speak openly to your partner and always listen. Love them with every inch of your heart, but only if they shower you in the same. Find someone who makes your heart sing and illuminates all your best bits.”

“But you should never underestimate your own unique qualities. They won’t be boring to others if you show them off with confidence. Trying to be someone else is the most transparent illusion of all. Be proud to be you. Now in my thirties I am very happy in my own skin.”

I found her letter so true, it spoke to me. Trying to be someone else does not work (for me anyway), so I don’t even bother. I am proud to be me, and I try to keep it real 100%. Life is too short to be anyone else.

I admire Fearne Cotton’s career and journey in life, and I am happy to see her in a good place.
