Three ways for Thursday

Originally todays post was going to be 'Threeway Thursday' but having thought about it for more than 3 seconds... yeah, not too PG friendly. 

As my yesterday consisting of stuffing my face (hello Nandos) curtesy of my ever genorous boyfriend, and picking up some much needed christmas shopping (sooo behind the times!) I'm currently feeling very full and slightly calmer about the ever nearing pandemonium that is Christmas!

Today, as the title suggests I've put together a requested post showing a few different ways to wear the same item. I loved doing this post as one of my fave things to do is come up with multi outfit choices for each clothing item I have (yes-I know I'm sad)

I decided to base my outfit builds around thiss

gorgeous Boohoo gillet which I've been chucking on over everrrything this Autumn/Winter.

Everything such as:

 Leather and Leopard print for a slightly rock n roll look perfect for drinks with friends or date night.

 Over a Maxi dress to work your summer essentials all year round. Layered over a long sleeved tee once it gets reallly nippy of course ;)

(Applogies for the blurry image here my camera is literally on deaths door - hello Father Christmas!)

With some bright jeans, long sleeved Aztec print and chunky boots for a shopping friendly and cosy outfit.

Which one is your favourite? How would you wear this gillet?
Have a lovely Thursday <3

What I Wore Wednesday - AX Paris edition

Hello chicks! (I was going to add the male version of chicks as well but then realised it was far too rude for a respectable blog like this -coughs-) How're we all doing? I've had a manic day at work followed by a 'lovely' couple of hours completing night-school work - very sleepy girly now!

Before I do my best impression of sleeping beauty though, I have an amazing treat to showcase with you all. I was recently offered the chance to share with you lovelies an item of clothing from the fabulous website AX Paris.

AX Paris are a gorgeous clothing brand that sell a range of gorgeous goodies at good ole high-st prices! A must visit this season with their incredible party dresses (THIS and THIS are my top favourites) AX Paris look set to be right up there with the best this festive season.

For my own little treat I wanted something that would be versatile enough to style casually for shopping, socialising and other festive missions, but smart enough to wear to the office or out for drinks should the mood arise. I think the item I chose really fits my brief, let's have a look :

 And the bundled up in a leather jacket - perfect for the cold eddition :

I'm in love with it.
Big thankyou to AX Paris required!

I found that in terms of fit the clothes run true to size. I'm a generally more of a 6 than and 8 and the 8 on me was slightly loose which I did expect and actually prefer as I think it looks much more flattering than a squeezed in look.
In terms of comfort and wearability I cannot fault this dress, it's one of those rare meetings between style and comfort. My only advice would be that if you're planning on wearing this in the day - layer up! It's lovely lightweight material is definitely goosebump friendly ;)

Get your hands on your very own HERE for just £25.00

Also, keep your eyes peeled ;) I have a VERY exciting AX Paris oppurtunity coming your way soon ;)
Happy midweek!

Monday must have - With a twist

Hello beauties, hope you're all well this rather depressingly cloudy Monday! Another week begins and with less than a month till bonfire night I'm officially getting scared of how fast this year is going!

Todays 'Monday must have' has a little twist. A couple of weeks ago I was overwhelmed with how many of you complimented my little black H&M dress that can be seen here .  As a lot of you commented this dress is so amazingly versatile I thought it was only right to feature it here on the 'Must Have' spot and show you a couple of ways that it could be worn.

Here's the dress : 

 It's on sale for an absolute bargain price of
H&M £12.99

And now here we have a few different ways I thought this dress could be styled :
Outfit 1

 Classic, cute and undenisably chic this outfit is the perfect embodiment of the Monochrome trend that's gracing the high-street at the moment. Spiced up with a gorgeous printed scarf to add a little colour and flair this set could take you anywhere from desk to drinks.
Outfit Two

To me this is exactly the kind of outfit I'd love to be rocking his fall. A little bohemian style with some luxurious Autumnal colours and topped off with the cosiest looking fur gillet I've seen for a long while. Brrrilliant.
Outfit Three

 As well as casual looks this dress is the perfect base point for a fierce rock n roll chic outfit build. The Leopard print booties are ridiculously on trend and that gorgeous red clutch would hold your party essentials in style. Top off with a bright red pout to finish off that party look with pizazz.

Outfit Four

 Look four is an incredibly laid back look which'd be perfect for running errands. The pretty scarf adds a little flair to the otherwise basic colour palett whilst the two toned bag adds a little luxury. Comfort and style - who said the two can't go together?

So there we are my loves - four ways in which you could dress this LBD up or down. How would you wear it?

  Also - if there's an item in particular for any of the sets you're interested in drop me a comment and I'll find you a link!

Have  a good Monday

Friday Feature - Versatility

Hello loves! Happy Friday! Hope you're all well and looking forward to the weekend! This week seems to have gone super fast last time I looked it was Monday and now I'm facing the weekend - lovely! I've begun the much publicised '30 day shred' this week so I'll be keeping you updated on how it goes and getting you checking out my new body lol!

But anyway, today I have a really interesting topic to discuss with you and that is 'Versatility' - the ability to wear one item of clothing in multiple different ways. Now as a girl on a budget I absolutely adore versatile pieces as they meen you can spend less but wear just as much and today I have a great example to show you all, here we are:

The item that I've chosen to show an example of versatility with is:

 This beautiful red dress from Peacocks which at just £12.00 is an absolute bargain and reminds me of the gorgeous Halston Herritage dresses rocked by Sarah Jessica Parker.


Here are some ways I've styled this dress:

Outfit One

 

This outfit has a definite bohemian feel to it and I feel like it'd be perfect for hot summer days or (if you live in England) your summer holidays. The dress would look divine with a tan and the warm neutral colours and gold jewellery would look perfect in the sun. The lovely light material would keep you cool and the lovely bright colour would be perfect for a summery wardrobe.

Outfit Two

 

Then we have this outfit which is far more 'classic' I feel like as long as you don't work in a super formal enviroment this would be a perfect Summer outfit to wear to work. The blazer and simple black ballet flats formalize the dress and help tone it down although the dresses gorgeous colour and material keep it summery and pretty.  

Outfit Three

 

Next we have this outfit which is much more 'glam' the dress would look absolutely gorgeous dressed up for a night on the town with your friends or a hot summer date night! The glamourous accessories help dress it up and that clutch just tops it all off. Also I'm absolutely desperate to own those shoes!

Outfit Four

 

Lastly we have outfit number four which is a much more 'edgy' and rock n roll look. I think this is potentually my favourite as it fits in with my personal style. The elegant dress teamed with the tough jacket and the spikey heels would look amazing for a night out or a glamourous shopping trip (if you can face walking in heels ha-ha) then the funky watch just adds a little more edge to finish the look off.

So there we are - sometimes one item can work for you in many many different ways depending on what you team it with. What do you lovelies think? Do you love versatile pieces or do you prefer to buy different items? Let me know :)
