OOTD: Styling Shades of Blue

Shades of Blue Image

Blue is one of my favourite colours ever. There is something so cool about the colour blue. I can’t quite explain my love for the colour but I am so in love with it. There is something clean and clear about the colour blue. Many pieces and accessories in my wardrobe are blue in colour and I like it that way but I have to start to reduce the amount of blue items I do have for the sake of variety and options.. In these photos, I also have a few shades of blue in the background. Can you spot them? Lol..

I find blue so easy to style, and that is 1 reason why I wear a lot of it. Here are 5 ways you could style your blue pieces and accessories this summer:

 

Pair with White

You can pair your blue piece with white like I did in this outfit post. A blue top paired with a white skirt or pants always look good.

 

Add Pair

Or you can team up your blue piece with black for a better contrast. Denim paired with black always looks spot on.

 

Wear Stripes

Summer fashion is all about stripes, and the colour blue always looks amazing when paired with stripes. So go for it! You can draw inspiration from my outfit here.

Matchy Matchy

You can always go matchy matchy with blue. Denim on denim always looks fabulous. Just add some black pumps and you are good to go.

 

Prints

Blue always looks good paired with prints. Blue prints on a white base looks effortlessly chic.

OOTD: The Monochrome Look*

I am currently obsessed with black pieces, like you should know already, with me wearing this sexy Miss Selfridge Midi Black Dress last week, and this elegant Lace Black Dress by Phase Eight, last week as well. Black has an amazing slimming effect, suits all body types, and is so easy to accessorise. What is there not to love right?

How is the weather at your end? My end has been fab. I am loving the sunshine, I can feel summer approaching, and it is getting me in the mood for a holiday. Thomas Cook has some amazing deals on at the moment, with offers like £100 off a Las Vegas trip, £150 off a return trip to Orlando Florida, and many other cool offers. I think it is fair to say I deserve a proper outside the UK holiday, so I will be looking into booking a holiday soon. Speaking of holidays, have you got any planned for the rest of the year?

Now back to this outfit, I got this monochrome short sleeve T-shirt dress some months ago. It is one of the spring/summer newbies in my wardrobe, and I have worn it quite a few times already. It is one of those tops, you can dress up and down easily, which makes it one of my favourites at the moment. On lazy days, when I can’t think, I can just throw it up with a pair of leggings/jeggings and flats, and I am a good to go. You need everyday pieces like this in your wardrobe, they make life a lot easier some days.

Amy Adams Covers Marie Claire April 2016

The lovely American actress and singer – Amy Adams is the cover girl for Marie Claire April 2016. This magazine cover caught my eye. I love the hair and makeup, Amy looks beautiful as always, and her striking pose finishes off the look beautifully.

I have had my eye on this woman since I saw her in the Catch Me If You Can movie and she has been on my radar ever since. I find her very interesting to watch and I think she is so pretty. She does not look her age at all (Amy is 41 years old), and I admire that about her. I hope I look this stunning when I am 41 years old.

Amy Adams wears bra by Palace Costume, skirt by Max Mara, shoes by Miu Miu and earrings by Sonia Boyajian.

 

Here are some facts you may or may not know about Amy Adams:

  1. She was born in Italy.
  2. She once worked as a waitress.
  3. Meryl Streep taught her how to knit.
  4. She loves a bit of Karaoke.
  5. She is one of seven children.
  6. Her mum use to be a competitive body builder.

Apart from Amy being on the cover, the other features look promising. I am loving the sound of ‘Sleep Training for Adults’ and ‘Standout Fashion Looks for Now’.

However I won’t be getting this issue because for £3.99, I will expect to get a lot more than the topics I am seeing on this. I see Marie Claire and Elle as fashion magazines, unlike Cosmo and Glamour, that are a more of lifestyle magazines. So for a fashion magazine to have just 1 fashion topic on the cover looks a little worrying to me, but then again, maybe the editors at Marie Claire are moving towards the ‘Lifestyle’ niche. I guess more issues will tell.

What do you think of this cover?
