OOTD// Work Wear to Evening

No Comments »

We all know how long it can take us to get ready for an evening out, but for a lot of us this isn't a luxury we have, juggling work life, home life and a social life. 


Here's a few changes you can make to your work wear in 10 minutes to transform your look into a stylish, glamorous evening ensemble. 

Work wear to Evening


Work Wear
If you know you're off out quite soon after you clock off, keep the outfit for work quite simple with a tailored pair of suit pants and a  chiffon shirt. Wear a seamless tank vest underneath, just in case the shirt is slightly see through. Team it with a black blazer. We've gone for a loose peplum blazer, for a fitted and feminine silhouette. Wear a pair of point stilettos. They're smart, chic and versatile. To glam up a very simple work wear look, add a statement necklace. The Ariella Black teardrop Jewel necklace looks great at the office. It's quite subtle, but still making a statement to the whole look. For the office, go for an over sized black tote. This is perfect if you have to rush off, as you can fill your bag with your makeup, deodorant, perfume, etc and redo on your commute home, or if your going out straight from work, reapply in the toilets. Wear your hair in a bun to work and spray with lots of hairspray to hold it neatly in place foe the entire day. 

Evening Wear
To transform your workwear outfit, roll up your tailored pants so that they're ankle length. This gives the look a bit more character and it's less formal looking. Lose the shirt and now wear the tank vest as a crop top. It's a very casual top, therefore transforming the whole look. Pair it with the peplum blazer, which keeps the outfit looking chic, but without the shirt underneath, makes the whole attire sexy and a definite head turner. Change your necklace for a bit of colour. We've gone for The Lydia Jewel Collar Necklace, as the orange is vibrant and summery. Apply a thick layer of lippy in the same shade as your necklace. Swap the large tote for a sleek boxed clutch. We went for this cool and quirky clutch from River Island, giving the whole look a bit of style and coolness. Finally pull your hair out of the bun its been in all day and run your fingers through it, leaving volumous wavy hair. In just 10 short minutes, we have created a completely different look that no one would suspect you've been in all day.

OOTD // TOM FORD FOR LESS

No Comments »

We'd all love to be able to afford to buy looks straight from the catwalk, but for those of us who have a little less disposable funds, it's great when we can recreate those same looks for less. Tom Ford is known for his tailoring, and a slick black suit is the perfect way to wear the monochrome trend this season. We've pulled together pieces from some of the high street giants and added some adornment to give you a top end Tom Ford look at a fraction of the cost!


A tuxedo blazer is great for day or night, work or play! It's fitted shape means it's smart enough for work, but a satin effect collar adds a touch of glam for the evening. We love this Miss Selfridge number for just £20! Tom Ford paired his blazer with a sheer insert top underneath, like this daring crop top from Topshop. Wear them with these River Island black flare trousers for a sophisticated feel. Wider hems are back this season, so even if you usually go for strictly skinny trousers like me, try on a pair next time you hit the shops - you may just be surprised how well you pull them off!

Pointed court heels are a must for any work or play wardrobe, and this Steve Madden pair are to die for. Although at £69 they're a little more pricey than other high street brands, it only takes one look to notice the difference in quality and they're sure to last you much longer, which is great as their style is timeless.

There's a lot of black in this look, so adding some metalwork and jewels is a must! Our Danica Silver Jewel Cuff is so unique and sure to draw in the compliments. If you're after something more edgy than pretty, our Ayra Black Jewel Tassel Earrings are the ones for you. With long flowing chain detail and faceted gunmetal gems, you can guarantee they'll catch anyone's eye.

To complete this look just like Tom Ford himself, add lashings of black eyeshadow and some salt spray for a texturised hairstyle. We adore this Laura Mercier smoky palette and TIGI Catwalk salt spray - both currently in the sales!
