OOTD: Calling the Shots

The title of this post is inspired by the name of the lipstick I am wearing – Rimmel London Call the Shots. I have been incredibly busy these last couple of days, dealing with new clients and life in general. I almost didn’t have the take these outfit photos, but I was determined to find the time, against all odds. I believe when you want something so badly, you find the time for it. No room for excuses this year. I am calling the shots in my life!

Spring is here, and I am loving the sunshine we are getting. It is still more rain than sun, but I can’t complain. I made good use of the amazing weather by getting these photos taken. I hope the sunshine stays.

Every piece I have on is an “oldie but goldie”.  I got this black floral dress last year summer, and I have worn it a few times now. It is dead comfy and so easy to style; one of my current favourites. The brown faux leather jacket is also from last season’s collection, and so are the brown boots. If you are a regular reader, you would spot the black bag and sunnies, I have had them for donkey years, and they still look good.

This is the reason why I like to buy quality items. The more you spend on an item, the longer you have it, that is usually the case with me, especially when it comes to accessories – shoes, bags, jewellery and sunglasses. And that is the reason why I like to invest a little more in them, so they serve me for longer.

I also like to sell my old accessories on eBay, and bags do sell quite well on eBay.

Celebrity Style: Leigh-Anne Pinnock & Olivia Buckland in Manière De Voir

Hey Fashion Lovers! I have the lovely Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Love Island’s Olivia Buckland in Maniere De Voir, and I am dying to tell you all about what they have on.

Starting with the stunning Leigh-Anne Pinnock, she is wearing a lacy white crop top, black choker, and khaki suede zipper legging by Manière De Voir for £45.99.  The most interesting part of this look is that Leigh is actually bare feet! It took me some time to accept that, I kept looking for her shoes! think she is so crazy but cool in a good way, and I love how confident she is rocking this look without shoes. Only she can.

The zipper legging is very chic and stylish. The detailing is spot on, and the khaki colour is a beauty. Leigh-Anne Pinnock slayed this look easily, and I can see myself recreating this look very soon. That light price tag of the zipper legging is very tempting, plus I have nothing like it at the moment.

The lovely Olivia Buckland is also rocking a light grey leather mini skirt by Manière De Voir for £32.99, and she nailed this look. Olivia styled her leather mini skirt with a paint splattered shirt, heeled mules, and a patent leather bag. I love this leather mini skirt a lot. I have nothing like it in my wardrobe, and it is super affordable.

I am also loving the heeled mules. It would be a great summer addition.

I love both looks, both ladies styled the pieces perfectly but if I were asked to pick the look I prefer, I would go for Leigh’s look. Her look is more me minus the crop top (I don’t do crop) and the bare feet (I would likely have some form of footwear on).

What do you think of both looks? Which do you prefer?

Please sound off in the comments section below.

Thanks for reading and have a lovely weekend.
