Outfit Post – Surviving the Storm

We enjoyed a few days of some glorious sunshine and warm weather. But I think we won’t be having any more of those type of days for the next few months. Last week was all about Storm Callum and we had to dig out our warm coats and welly boots to survive the storm. We here in North did not have it as bad as some other parts like Wales, but it was very windy and wet.

The storm has left us with a chill in the air so I am happy I had my lovely thick coat and welly boots ready.

I love this coat a lot. It is a new addition to my autumn/winter wardrobe and I am so into. It looks good. The midnight blue colour is one of my favourite shades. And it keeps me very warm thanks to the extra-thick Nanuk 300 Sherpa fleece.

This lovely and practical coat has a wind-resistant exterior which came in very handy last week, If you want a coat that would provide outstanding warmth and protection against external forces, then you should consider this piece.

The welly boots are wearing are new. They are fleece lined for total warmth and are dead comfy. I loved wearing this pair while the storm lasted. And I feel ready for the cold winter months now that I have this in my boots collection. The welly boots are durable, comfortable, practical, stylish and very affordable at just £34. They are also waterproof with removable insole.

Outfit Post – A Tommy Hilfiger Casual Look

Summer is on the day out. The days and nights are getting chilly with more rain. And Autumn (or Fall like my American friends call it) is definitely on the way in. I would miss the long sunny days but definitely not the extreme temperatures. Autumn is one of my favourite seasons so I am looking forward to it. I love the autumn/winter fashion, and can’t wait to start styling some pieces on her. But for now, I need to publish all my summer outfits pictures on Fashion and Style Police. This Tommy Hilfiger Casual Look was taken some weeks ago. I love the colours styled here. They look so good together.

Lately, I have been so into casual looks. It could be my own way of making the most of the summer season before it bids us farewell until 2019. Or it could just be me wanting to stay dead comfy. I like this look here. it was dead easy to style. I got the T-shirt from Macy’s while holidaying in the US earlier in the year. Everything else I have on is an oldie but goldie.

As a fashion blogger, many would think I shop on a regular basis, which is so far from the truth. With 2 growing toddlers, I hardly shop for myself these days. But when I do, I make sure I invest in quality pieces so they last a long time. That way I have more clothing and accessories for longer.

Style Tip

Go for quality over quantity and save money in the long run.

The 60s Fashion and How to Style It

The 60s spells the era of colour, fun and the free spirit where self-expression was encouraged. Actually the 60s is known for breaking fashion rules. And it’s only natural that the 60s fashion keeps reappearing in the trends today. It has been a source of inspiration for many women. If you’re one to try out some 60s fashion this year, here are some ways you can do that.

The A-line dress

In the 60s, A-line dresses were a hit. They’re comfortable, chic and very colourful. In the spirit of the fun and liveliness of the 60s, the A-line dresses had bold designs.

To steal the look, get yourself a vibrant coloured a-line dress with raised hemlines. Most outfits of the mod style are simple and styled with a pair of pumps or short heeled shoes. Don’t be afraid to choose bold colours to achieve the look.

 

Fashionable miniskirts

The miniskirts were first featured in the 60s. This was in rebellion to the conservative styles that didn’t allow ladies to show much of their legs. Miniskirts were a bold statement of the free-spirited style of the 60s.

To style this look in today’s day and age, pick a miniskirt with bright colours. Feel free to experiment with different patterns and pleats. You can layer your miniskirt with a simple long-sleeved blouse or a crop top.

 

The Hippie style

Although the hippie fashion reared its head towards the end of the 60s, it was a clear sign of what the 60s stood for – freedom. The hippie style is characterized with floral prints, fringing bell-bottoms and peasant blouses.

If you want to copy this style, get yourself a pair of high-waisted flared jeans and a colourful crop top. Another alternative is to get a floral print blouse layered over a denim miniskirt. To add more of the hippie vibe to your look you could throw over a tasseled bag.

 

Introduce bolder prints

The prints of the 60s were striking, colourful and bold. The 60s had a range of patterns and prints from floral to tie dyes to checks and stripes. There was an extremely brave play of colours you never thought could match but there were a lot of monochrome pieces as well.

To pull of this look all you need to do is to go for all the bold and vibrant prints you can get your hands on. Whether you mix and match a pair of patterned bottoms with a solid coloured top or decide to wear the same print from head to toe, you’ll be keeping the 60s vibe alive in your outfit.

 

Embrace brightly coloured tights

Tights were a big thing in the 60s and of course, the more vibrant the colours the better. The tights were worn with miniskirts and short dresses and the colours mainly added contrast rather than compliment the miniskirts and dresses.

To recreate this iconic 60s vibe, get yourself a pair of brightly coloured tights or long stockings and layer them with a cute miniskirt. Experiment with different coloured tights and stockings as well as with different styles of stockings like lace and netted stockings.
