What to wear on a Night out In a Casino.

2013-10-04T06:35:00.002-04:00

Casinos have a certain imagery that is heavily associated with elegance, glamour and finery. This can be argued as being down to films, television shows and of course more recently, the live tournaments that have grown steadily in popularity over the years. Due to this specific notions we have of these establishments, it's important that if you're considering on opting for the real-deal, you might want to give some consideration about what you want to wear.

This is because casinos, while not necessarily having any dress codes as such (although very high-end establishments more often than not do), you still want to make a good impression and give off the right air about yourself and the company you keep. Therefore, if you're planning for a big night out you might want to leave the overly casual attire at home and decide upon something a bit more formal. This doesn't mean that you have to overdress or overdo your look, all it means is to try and get the balance between casual and smart.

A perfect example for men would be a casual suit, nothing too flashy or overwhelming but something that's smart yet comfortable. Furthermore, women might want to think about a short cocktail dress with some strappy heels. Although it is slightly more formal, it has the casual edge to it, which says that you're here for a good time just as much as to play. That being said, if you're out with business associates or simply want to make a big statement, you could take a more grand approach to your dress code and opt for the classic tuxedo for men and an LBD for women.

The key to what you chose to wear is finding a balance that’s both classical and glamorous. To get a clear sense of this you might want to try some online casino live dealer streaming that is available from certain websites, such as JPC. This innovation streams live coverage of real dealers dealing your chips and cutting your cards just as they would if you was in a big, high class establishment.

If you cant decide what to wear to the casino then you could play the best online slots games in the UK at JackpotCity.co.uk/online-slots/ and sit in the comfort.

Julia Sarr Jamois.

I feel like as of recent, and due to my admiration for Solange Knowles, I have fallen in love with Julia Sarr-Jamois, street style star, and fashion editor of Wonderland Magazine.
I do not know what it is. No. Actually I do. It is a list of things. It is that large mane; full of curls (due to her half-French, half-Senegalese heritage) it is her ability to radiate effortlessness, through her quirky yet simple style. It is her ability to make me want to pretend I am making very important calls whilst my brother takes a series of pictures of me.
What really gets me excited is the pairing of a simple, casual tee and a skirt with an unexpected print or colour, I love the way she deals in her basics, she livens them up, yet without making, her outfit look overbearing. Her style is just versatile; you can wear her outfits to your local Sainsbury’s as well as to a fashion event. By pairing her trainers with short, pleated or neon skirts, she is able to give what is thought to be feminine outfit an urban edge. Her style is also comfortable. Due to her bright coloured trainers, she is able to look at ease and laidback yet stylish.
Here are the favourites.

Hi there!

I’m Benita, an avid stalker of fashion, style, and art, I also love food, and would probably eat anything. As a sixth form student who dreads Mondays, has mini breakdowns every now and then, I always find ways to indulge in what I love most. This means that when I’m trying to avoid the ever growing piles of coursework, you’ll find me on Tumblr, fashion blogs, magazines seeking inspiration, in charity shops and markets, reading, eating, blogging, drawing and dancing (behind closed doors).

Here on Tabitha, I’m given the chance to share with you guys, little bits of my world and me. Living in London, I’m immersed in culture and creativity, my style is mostly inspired by what I see outside my front door. I will mostly do style posts, bits about London and inspirations, with hope that you are inspired along the way.

Hey guys,
Lately I've been drawn to the traditional black or white way of dressing, or in other words
monochrome.
I decided to mix the laid back, chilled vibe that comes with this beanie, with my chic go
to buckle boots. These boots are high enough to give me some height, yet low enough to be walk in.
The sun finally decided to show its face, prompting me to put on my black mini skirt, this skirt is fast
becoming my favourite, originally it was massive and pencil shaped. After rolling it up a few inches
and turning the slit to the front, I am left with a more structured skirt that does not drown me.
I think a simple white tee is the perfect foundation for any outfit; if I am stuck on what to wear; I
simply throw this on and build up my outfit from there. Here I decided to add some bling with my
treasured gold chain, whilst draping my vintage biker over my shoulder to add some much-needed
toughness.

Beanie: H&M, White tee: George at Asda, Gold chain: Brick Lane Market, Biker: Greenwich Market,
Skirt: Charity Shop, Buckle Boots: Greenwich market.

Guest Blog Post: South East London Street Style

2013-06-17T10:14:00.000-04:00

I absolutely adore London street style, it is what inspires me the most, I love the way people can
revive forgotten pieces of clothing by styling it according to their taste. I love the sometimes uncoordinated way Londoners put clothes together and how the lack of effort in some outfits instantly evokes coolness, or how the structure in others immediately sends out a chic and sophisticated message. I love the variety.
Therefore, after doing some street style therapy, here some of my favourite pics. Enjoy!

Greenwich and all its glory:

Being a 17 year old Londoner, I’m always looking for ways to be ‘cool’ and ‘unique’. A trip

down Greenwich is one of those ways, especially in the sunshine. Greenwich in the sunshine is

immaculate. I guess what I love most about is the energy- it is so homely, it feels like a little private community, a little village where everyone knows everyone. There is this buzz everywhere and everyone seems at peace with their lives, This buzz is especially rooted deep within the markets,which are immersed with one off pieces and vintage clothing.This is accompanied by intricate jewellery and accessories- think vintage store meets car boot sale. At the clock tower market, you will a variety of stalls, from clothing to jewellery to antique furniture to vintage records, with rusty, yet cool metal signs.

Yet the main market is located deeper in Greenwich, here you will see anyone who’s anyone from food lovers, chefs to a wide range of artists. People go there to this to share their creativity; I especially love the abstract artwork, spray painted t-shirts and homemade soaps (the scents literally take to you to a different place)
Also many of these creative talents are nurtured in the kitchen.
Halfway down the market, I’m hit by a truckload of spices almost beckoning me to come, and, as a avid lover of food this was close to heaven.
There were foods from different parts of the world from Peruvian to Jamaican,and while waiting anxiously for your food; you have the delight of sitting by the local benches and watch it being made.

One of my favourite vintage stores is the small yet unique Beehive.Whenever I am in there, my head is just filled with inspiration, all the pieces there all have something to say. It is split into half, one half being a clothing store, the other half, selling vintage records, compiling the main attractions of vintage life. Similar clothes are allocated together, so they are easy to access if you have a specific item in mind. As a typical vintage store, wild, bright colours from different garments are merged together, everything is quite misplaced. There is a £10 rail, where you can find, brightly patterned and pastel coloured jumpers, or 50’s and 70’s dresses. The vibe is awesome as usual, with the workers offering help and their own sense of style that reflects the shop itself.

As Greenwich is historical and I am quite a nerd, you will always see me wandering in the museum. I love learning new things and discovering history, the layout is so light and open, with wide spaces for activities and relaxation. Just outside the museum is a little cafe, set outside against a backdrop of running children, a massive park and (on a good day) Sunshine! You’ll also see me in queen Mary’s House and the Royal observatory, I often go there because of the range of prints, and timeless designs, I’m always left inspired.

Keep and eye out for more of Benita's post , coming soon! x

All white, all night.

We recently popped along to the Oasis S/S Press day. We were met by a room bursting with beautiful florals, pastel colours, pretty shapes and all things associated with sun. I especially loved the 'Wonderland' collection. If you, like me, are a girl who would run to the hills before wearing bodycon and appreciates a good prom shaped party dress, then this is the collection for you .They have also teamed up with a London Fashion Graduate to incorporate their designs in to some ready to wear items. High five for wearable art!

Neck Bling. The one true downfall for my bank account.

We also went along to the Diet Coke/ Marc Jacobs launch in BT2. Lots of fun was had there. I HEART my bottles, and have happily added them to my collection of previous Diet Coke collaborators.
Here is Louise with our gorgeous pal, Julianne.

The BT2 Window. Hella Cute.

Shooting with the Gorgeous Simona from Catwalk, behind the scenes shooting for issue 4 of tabitha.

We had so much fun shooting this and can't wait to show you all the finished pics!

Cara and a Pretzel. Just 'cause.

Any vintage junkies, head to the Davenport Hotel in Dublin tomorrow and Sunday for The Spectacular Vintage Wedding Fair!

And just for the day that's in it....

I saw Wonderland Magazine post about this store earlier, so being nosy I decided to have a peek at their website.

Bad Mistake. I now need / want EVERYTHING on it. With prices that would rival most high street store, and a simple ,chic aesthetic, I think & Other Stories is definitely my new favourite place* to shop.

*this title changes daily.

Here are some of my pics from the site....

"When Life Was Exotic"

2013-03-04T17:27:00.001-05:00

Will there ever come a day when editorials do not excite me?!I doubt it. The stories, the moods, the colours, the clothes, the locations, the list goes on. Ideas coming to life. Certainly not brain surgery by any means but we all have interests and passions that influence us from songs, to books to art to fashion and many other things. That's why I am such a huge fan of Grace Coddington's work for example,(we're always referencing her work on this old blog of ours!) she is the Queen of styling, creating magical stories over a couple of pages of Vogue each month.

This editorial from Vogue Japan caught my eye this evening, it is so beautiful, it deserves it's own blog post. Perfect inspiration for Spring. :)
