This cover is all shades of amazing, like really. Glamour got this April 2016 cover so right this time. The lovely Alexa Chung is the cover girl for this issue, and she looks divine on it. I am loving the pink background, it is so girly and pretty. Her green Gucci bomber jacket is so stylish, and the Fishnet tights, she has on, is sure to catch any eye. Underneath she has on an Archive by Alexa knit, a piece from her new 31-piece collection with M&S.

I have always been interested in Alexa Chung. I find her very fascinating, so I am eager to get my hands on this issue. Alexa Chung is like a fashion goddess, she knows her onions as far as style is concerned and I envy her wardrobe. I wish I could take a sneak peek into her wardrobe, I am sure I will be mesmerized.

In this issue, Alexa talks about the struggles of dating, what she really thinks about Donald Trump, and the irony of being labelled a style icon. I find it funny that she does not see herself as stylish. I guess that is what I find interesting about her, she doesn’t see what we see.

Enough of Alexa now, I am also very interested in reading about Ella Woodward, the blogger behind the very successful blog – Deliciously Ella. She is also the author of the fastest-selling cookbook debut of all time. Ella invited GLAMOUR Associate editor – James around to her West London kitchen to cook up an easy, week night supper that literally takes a couple of minutes. I am certain the thousands of food bloggers out there will be grabbing a copy of this issue. I like to know what makes successful people tick, as you know by now, so buying this issue is a no brainer really.

Will you be buying a copy of this issue? Sound off in the comments section please.

Thanks for reading.

 

 

 

Product Review/Giveaway: CaseApp Laptop Skin

March 8, 2016 By in Giveaways, Lifestyle, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , 20 Comments

Hey peoples. It is another week, and I have another product review/giveaway post for you, and this time it is for the gadget/tech loving people. If you are obsessed with your laptop, phone or tablet, and you want your device to keep looking pretty, with no scratches or bumps, keep reading this review post.

The lovely people of CaseApp got in touch some weeks ago and offered to send me a custom-made laptop skin. For those who haven’t heard of CaseApp, it is a Swedish brand, that specialises in custom designs for your phones, tablets and laptops. This brand allows you to design your own case or skin, so it is personalised for you. You can select the background and collage of your choice and even insert a clip art, or a text like I did. Check out my custom-made MacBook skin for £24 below:

I settled for a New Italian Marble background because I like keeping my gadget cases and skins simple, and I think anything marble is classic and always looks so pretty.

Here is what I thought about the whole experience with CaseApp:

 

PROS

  1. I found the CaseApp website very user-friendly. It was easy to navigate, and quite straight forward.
  2. It was very easy for me to design my laptop skin. The various backgrounds, collages, and clip arts, were just a click away, with no hiccups.
  3. There is a wide variety of backgrounds, collages, and clip arts, to help design the custom case or skin, so there is something for everybody.
  4. I got a confirmation of my order as soon as it was placed with estimated delivery times, which was great.
  5. My delivery arrived quicker than expected, which was fab.
  6. The prices are quite affordable. You can get a custom-made iPhone 6s case for £19, that is what I call a bargain.

CONS

None

I can’t fault the CaseApp skin I received, it is well done and of good quality. The service was also amazing.

If you are in love, I have a 20% discount code for you – STELLA20CA, so get shopping.

What do you think of personalised cases and skins? Is it something you are interested in? If yes, then you are in the right place. Have a look at the CaseApp website, and tell me which background you prefer the most and why.Then follow me on Instagram – Fashion and Style Police and follow CaseApp too.

The winner will be randomly selected, and will win a free code to design a case or skin of their choice.

This giveaway is open to UK residents only, and it ends 15th March at 10pm.

Goodluck guys.

OOTD: I Can Smell Spring

Spring Outfit Image

A change in season is always a big deal, as far as fashion is concerned, because we fashion lovers get to rearrange our wardrobe and usher in pieces for the new season. I love spring because it has the perfect temperature, not too warm or too cold, but it is the endless rain that comes along with it, I don’t like too much. I also love the fact that I can still layer up light pieces in spring. This weather makes styling outfits a lot of fun.

This black dress by Accessorise is a lovely addition to my spring wardrobe. It is a Lace Insert Tassel Maxi Dress and it is my only maxi dress at the moment, not had one in ages. This versatile piece is the perfect maxi dress. It creates an effortlessly chic look, and the elasticated waistband with adjustable tasselled ties, means the sizing is quite flexible too, which is great for petite ladies.

I love the fact that this piece is so easy to style up with a jacket and high heels like I have done here, or dress down with flats for a walk on a beach.

Speaking of beaches, I am badly in need of a proper holiday. It feels like I havn’t had one in ages. In an ideal situation, I would want to visit Dubai again. I visited the beautiful country some years ago and it was the best holiday I ever had, followed closely by my Miami holiday. The issue is, flights are so expensive these days, it is almost impossible to go away nice, so I always end up visiting a country in EU, but let’s see how it goes, fingers and toes crossed. Do you have any holidays planned for the year? Where are you off to?
