Hey Fashion and Style Police lovers! Another day, another blog post! The talented Fashion Designer, the talent behind BalmainOlivier Rousteing is the Style Icon this month. I have kept my fashion and style eye on this talent for many years. I love his creations. This man definitely knows what he is doing when it comes to fashion. He has been the creative director of Balmain since 2011, and his amazing Balmain portfolio speaks for itself.

This style icon and talented creative director has made Balmain a force to reckon with in the fashion industry. Having said that, today’s style icon post is all about his signature look.

I am loving his look here. The all black everything with gold detailing is super stylish! I am a huge fan of Olivier Rousteing personal style. He is usually spotted rocking a monochrome look and it works so well for him. I love many of his accessories as well. He has a thing for rings especially and it adds a bit more vibe to his overall look. His Instagram feed is filled with images of his look and you can tell he loves black, whites, polka dots and stripes. His look is a whole new vibe!

When it comes to signature style, the more personal the better. Rousteing stays true to his personal style. You won’t catch wearing bright colours or following the current trends. He sticks to what he loves and it oozes confidence and style. I love his look a lot. He is one of my favourite creative directors ever.

What do you think of Olivier Rousteing as the style icon for October? Are you a fan of Balmain? Do you shop the brand? Please sound off in the comments section below. Also, check out previous style icons.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a good one.

 

 

Embroidery designs and files with Design Bundles

*Collaborative post.

I have always been interested in designing and creating things from scratch. Many years ago, I played around with the idea of becoming a fashion designer. That idea disappeared shortly after naturally. I realised I was not a natural when it came to sewing and designing pieces/accessories. The interest wasn’t really there either. I still remember when a good friend tried to get me into crotchet. She created many lovely little cardigans and blankets for the kiddies when they were babies, but I just wasn’t interested in those sorts of things at all. Fast forward a few years now, we are still in lockdown and there is a lot more time to do many things at home, and I know many people are playing around with baking, cooking, sewing, and a lot more at home. If you are interested in embroidery designs, you will find this post very useful.

Embroidery Designs

Embroidery designs have been around for a very long time and they are still quite popular. The easiest way to describe embroidery is as an art of decorating using materials like fabrics, pearls, beads, sequins, and quills, alongside a needle to apply thread. Embroidery designs are always very eye-catching and artistic. I find them very creative which is why they always catch my attention. You can easily spot embroidery designs on caps, hats, dresses, skirts, tops, blankets, coats, dress shirts, and many more. The designs always stand out so beautifully, which is why I love going for pieces and accessories with some embroidered pattern on them.

Embroidery file formats are the ways in which embroidery designs are saved in a software format or a machine format. Usually. you will need to have an embroidery machine and the right software to transfer files to your machine so you can use the designs. Before you purchase an embroidery design, you will need to find out which format will be compatible with your machine. When it comes to embroidery files, this is where Design Bundles comes in to save the day.

The kids are back in school and the school run is now in full swing. With autumn approaching, this is the best time to ensure you have all your autumn fashion essentials for the school run.

The mornings tend to be cold this time of the year. So a good light jacket is needed for the season. I need a couple of light jackets to get me through the school run especially in the morning. You should invest in some if you are in need of light jackets this autumn. This Regatta Women’s Birchdale Jacket is a great option. It comes with a hood which is so handy, and there are many colours available. It is waterproof and breathable. Also, it has a durable water repellent finish which is amazing.

I love having hoodies at the ready for the autumn/winter season. They come in handy when it is dry and not cold enough for a jacket. I really like this Levi’s Women’s Batwing Hoodie Plain Regular Fit Long Sleeve Hoodie. It is super stretchy and looks like great quality. I am yet to have a Levi’s hoody so I can see myself grabbing this off the Amazon Fashion website very soon.

You can easily find me in leggings even in the winter months. I find them very comfortable and easy to style. When I can’t think of what to wear, my leggings and a top come to the rescue. I wear them a lot on school mornings and I have recently bought some more to add to my collection. This FUTURO FASHION Women’s Full Length Cotton Leggings is a great option. They come in different colours, so there are shades for everyone.

School runs are never good in uncomfortable shoes. Especially when you are all running late and have to work really fast. This Skechers Women’s Go Walk Joy Slip On Trainers is a great footwear for the school run. I have a similar pair and I really like it. It has been with me for many years and still does the job nicely. Sketchers is a great footwear brand and I recommend it to anyone after quality trainers this season.
