HOW TO STYLE // SUNGLASSES IN WINTER

No Comments »

As winter draws closer and the weather gets a little less warm, it's tempting to stuff your entire summer wardrobe in your attic and not leave your onesie for the next few months. But whatever you do, don't hide away your sunnies! Just because it's colder doesn't mean the sun isn't around. There are several reasons why you should dig out your sunglasses. Firstly, when the snow arrives it will reflect the UV rays, meaning you'll need to protect your eyes. Secondly, they will protect you from the wind and the dust it blows around. Plus, they're good to hide under after a hectic weekend!


In winter, it's best to stick to simple sunnies rather than bright summer colours or prints. Our Black Round Cat Eye Sunglasses - as worn by Megan from the Briar Rose blog - are easy to mix into any outfit with a quirky shape to help you stand out from the crowd. Hint: they're currently in our sale for only £4.99 so get yours before they're gone!

Fur capes were a bestseller this time last year, and they're back again in both soft and shaggy styles. We love this black cape as it features a pretty ribbon bow to add some embellishment to your neckline. Another item back with a bang is the riding style boot. They scream country style and will keep your toes toasty! Wear with classically printed thick houndstooth leggings and a layered effect top to complete the look.

For an extra bit of accessorising, our Ayla White Jewel Encrusted Bracelet is sure to sparkle in the sunlight! Paint your nails in a smooth shade of pastel - like this Models Own lilac nail polish - to introduce some colour with minimum effort.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

HOW TO STYLE // THE NAVY TREND

No Comments »

Navy seems to be everywhere this season, with Cheap Monday and Temperley London both featuring the blue hue throughout their AW14 catwalk collections, but navy can seem a little daunting to style. Previously, mixing black and navy has been deemed as one of the ultimate fashion no-no's, like wearing pink and red together, making it difficult to know what colours to wear navy with. However this year, the tables have turned and every other designer was seen showing how to style the colours together effortlessly. We're here to show you how you can do the same!


If you're not quite ready for wearing all black and navy, breaking up the colours with other monochromatic shades is a good way to ease yourself into the trend. Adding hints of navy through your make up and accessories will be sure to keep you on trend and add muted pop of colour into any outfit, day or night. We've styled our Lena Navy Floral Jewel Collar - a steal at just £14 - with nail polish to match. Try matte polish for the day, or metallic for the night!

Every girl should own a crisp white shirt, whether you wear them for work or play. We love the embellished collar on this shirt to help add even more sparkle to your neckline. If you want to recreate the same look, why not try taking an old piece of jewellery and applying it to the collar of one of your old shirts?

Black leggings are another must have item for any wardrobe, particularly in the autumn/winter season. Purchase thick pairs (think jeggings style) that will not only keep you warm across the winter months, but also flatter any figure. If you'd prefer something a little different, look out for pairs with quilted, snakeskin or mesh inserts like the ones we've chosen.

Fur gilets are perfect for autumn/winter - both a statement garment and sure to keep you cosy! Pick one up in grey for a versatile piece of outerwear. We also adore these grey Vans slip ons; they're so easy to wear - not as casual as lace ups and simple to dress up. Add a classic black leather bag and your favourite silver watch to complete the look. We know we'll be rocking the navy trend with pride this season!

OOTD // BONFIRE EMBELLISHMENTS

No Comments »

As we begin the last month in Autumn, there is a question that looms over all of us...how can we stay cosy and fashionable at the same time? With Bonfire night just two days away, we've put together the perfect stylish yet sensible outfit to help you survive the cold!


We absolutely adore the Eliana Woven Chain Collar - a steal at just £10 - as it's easy to work into your day and night wardrobes. 

No wardrobe is complete without a fur gilet. They can be worn with anything from shirts to dresses, and are sure to keep you warm without hiding the rest of your ensemble. We've paired ours with a neutral jumper and belt to cinch in your waist and create some curves. Black leggings are always a fail-safe option, but if you want to add some pattern, why not go for a monochrome check print? Grab your trusty black bag, buckled riding-style wellies and dark red lipstick (oxblood is one of the top colours this season) - you're good to go!
