OOTD// Nude Necessities

No Comments »

With the rise of the fashion bloggers, we seem to look up to them for inspiration and this season there seems to be a certain colour palette that's been adopted... nude. It may be plain but it is far from boring with an array of jewellery, macs and stilettos leading the way.



The easiest way to incorporate a chic nude ensemble is to keep the outfit very basic. so the extra accessories are the statement. Start with a rugged loose fit jean. We went for ripped washed denim with turn ups. In contrast, pair the slouchy jeans with a sheer top. In this instance, a loose wrap chiffon blouse works great. You can tuck the shirt into the waist band for a smarter finish.

Wear with a pair of nude stilettos which make the whole outfit look very chic and elegant. If you're not comfortable with walking in such high shoes, go for a strappy sandal or wedge. Bloggers and celebs are going crazy for the boxed YSL clutch, but at a whopping £795, not everyone has the funds, therefore opt for a similar style. We went for the this slick clutch from New Look at a fraction of the price.




To finish off any look, a nude mac works perfectly. Go for a loose slouchy version in the summer months that simply ties round the waist. It really is just for affect, but you never know what the weather has in store for us.

Jewellery should be kept to a minimum and should be subtle, but not take the focus away from the nude necessities, but enhance the look and throw a little bit of character into it. We went for the dainty Ariana Leaf Necklace, which compliments the outfit perfectly.

Finish with a nude lip pencil to make your lips full, yet natural. You can always add a clear gloss for extra luscious lips.

OOTD/ Brighten up your basics

No Comments »

It's really easy to forget about the brights trend this season and go for trends that are easy to pull off. A lot of people are scared bright colours, but it's actually really easy to apply to your wardrobe.

To show you how easy it is, have a look at our OOTD!






We took a simple pair of blue denim jeans and a basic white tee and turned it into a chic bright outfit. Pair you basic outfit with a jacket or coat. We went for a nude relaxed drape coat from River Island. It's thin, so you're not goign to boil up if the sun decides to make an appearance. Nude is a classic colour that never ages. It's our go to item to style up any outfit. Add a pair of light coloured heels. We went for a dusky pink. You could wear a bright pair, but we want the accessories to do the talking, so kept it quite subtle. 

Now this is the bit where you can go crazy with your colour. The Jewel Cluster Earrings are perfect this look, combing bright hues with pastel shades. They're a real statement, so make sure you wear your hair off your face to get the most effect. We teamed these beauties with the sleek Mint Geometric Collar just to lift that white tee. 

Finish your look with a bright lipstick. We matched the shade of pink to the cluster earrings just to tie in with the outfit.

It's that simple. If you keep the outfit simple, you can up the anti on the jewellery and look chic even in bright tones.
