NYFW

Hi guys! 
So it's currently New York Fashion Week and we're loving some of the collections on show.
One of my personal favourites was Monique Huillier's designs:

I absolutely love the use of bright, vibrant colours as well as the soft, ivory/ cream dresses.

I've therefore decided to do my own take on these outfits but at a more affordable price.

 
First off is this outfit which is all from ASOS. ASOS is my absolute favourite place to shop online. The majority of items are very affordable and with free delivery you can't go wrong.
Trousers: £22
Jumper: £38
Shoes: £18


This outfit is also from ASOS. I've chosen two pairs of shoes as the outfit can easily be made a bit smarter- although it is arguably quite a smart outfit anyway.
Shorts: £35
Jumper: £25
Heels: £17.99
Flats: £12.99

The colours are bold and outgoing on both outfits and so the quieter person may shy away from this style (I'm more of a muted shades girl- occasionally with some bright colours) but why not try something new?! Bright colours can often make you feel more confident in yourself. 
And I know autumn and winter are coming, but lets pretend it's summer for a bit longer!

What do you think to today's post? Should we do more takes on NYFW designs? We'd love to hear from you!

Love,

M's OOTD

Hi guys!
Today is my first day of art college and myself and B thought what better way to start my days for this first week with an Outfit Of The Day post and B is planning to do the same when she starts Uni!
So for my first week of college I will be posting my outfits- I'll only do my first week because, like everyone does, I'll start repeating my outfits and you guys will have no want to see them twice!


So I know I said I was painting my nails a bright colour because I wear subtle clothing, but this top is a one off! It's pretty much the only super bright item I own, but I absolutely love it! It is £45 from ASOS.
My shoes and jeans are both from Primark. The shoes were £6 and the jeans were £11.
And last but not least is my handbag, which was £14.99 from H&M, and it's my new college bag so I'll pretty much be using it everyday this week!

Hope you liked this quick post!
See you tomorrow,
Love,

Danni Minogue - All Black Beauty - How YOU can achieve this look.

Hi guys, so today we are doing a post on fashion. We initially created this blog to look into styles and outfits that we have spotted celebrities sporting that we love and how you can create the outfit for yourself from many stores and brands at a reasonable price. 

 We personally think that Danni looks incredible aged 41 and love this photo that she posted on instagram. 


Danni's look is very chic rocker and can be applicable all season round, even at up and coming festivals in summer, the sunglasses just finalise this incredible look.

Bowler hats are most definitely a "this season trend" and are very vintage. 
The all black outfit gives Danni and any individual a slimming and continuous shape. The black heels also elongate your legs, this is further benefited by the high waisted leggings.

Danni was photographed supported this look with a classic oversized black bag.

How YOU can achieve this look.

We have gone four a black V neck top from River Island - £20




Moto Black High Waisted Jamie Jeans, the sizing is based on waist and leg measurements, allowing you to get a more accurate fit - £40.00 ( B actually has these jeans in a light denim blue, they are stretchy, not stiff and very comfortable, a brilliant purchase)


As well as leather jackets you can also get faux leather jackets. Leather jackets can be pretty pricey but they last a long time both in durability and in the fashion world and so are definitely worth the investment.
Vero Moda Leather Look Jacket- £38 Asos



Peeptoe Platform Boots £24.99 - Lipsy Kansas 

H&M - Bowler hat. £7.99


Gold and Orange sunglasses add subtle colour to the outfit, we found these ones at £4.99 from New Look, however we are aware of Primark doing similar sunglasses at £1.99


We have struggled to find a Jacket like Danni's with the cream/white collar, therefore we have incorporated the cream/white into the bag. - £14.99 - New Look


The link to purchase these products online are all below, in the same order that they appear in the post
http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/accessories/orange-and-gold-print-pilot-sunglasses_270174880 - Sunglasses
http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/bags-and-purses/black-contrast-button-winged-tote-bag_265913709- Bag

We believe that bold accessories would suit this outfit well and to focus the accessories more on the hands and arms, not so much the neck as a plan neckline looks lovely with this outfit.
Below are a few that we recommend.

These three rings are from Asda and a £5 a pack (yes thats right, £5 for a pack of three rings!) are ideal to alternate with this outfit and many more. -http://direct.asda.com/george/womens/jewellery/3-pack-assorted-rings/G004403740,default,pd.html



This overlay v section bracelet for £8.99 from Topshop would be brilliant to pair with this outfit. The arrows are soft however could be perceived as spikes relating to the "rocker chic" theme.

Don't forget that you don't have to purchase the items above from the stores we have recommended, shop around and you may find your own or even have the item at home.

 If you have any of these items at home you can create this outfit and once items like this are purchased they are always fabulous to add to create another outfit. If you are a student don't be be afraid to ask about student discounts, many of the stores do them, so its worth it, you're worth it!

What do you think of this look? Will you be giving it a go?
What "celebrities" would you like us to do a post on next?
Let us know
Love

P.s - the reason we haven't posted the full Topshop links for the items is because the direct links to the items are far too long. Sorry!
