WEARING: Cow Print Co-ord!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 29 May 2014 06:49:00 +0000

I recently bought this matching co-ord set after finding it through instagram. I was going for a night out for one of my friend's 21st and was looking for an outfit, I hadn't really seen much I liked and I am obsessed with two pieces so one of these seemed perfect!

I follow a few girls who sell them through Instagram and online and they're all lovely, I love seeing the new styles they create or the new fabric they use. I just think two piece's are so cute for summer, anything matching is good in my eyes! I think handmade one's are even better because you know they're worth the money and they're well made, which is definitely better than some places!

TheHomemadeCloset had various prints and patterns to choose from but I decided on the 'Cow Print' because I thought it would be cool and so easy to style because it was monochrome. I can't wait to just wear these shorts turned up with a little white bralet on holiday!

I wore this for a night out so I dressed it up but it would be so easy to wear just in the day, especially in Spring/Summer, with some white chunky sandals and sunglasses.

I went with simple white strappy heels (which my lovely sister let me borrow) and a chic white clutch (again, courtesy of my sister). I then wore this bright purple lipstick because I thought it would go well with the bold print.

The set was really well made and it's such an easy outfit to just chuck on!!

WEARING: Pastels and Florals

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 19 May 2014 21:18:00 +0000

So we recently got the opportunity to work alongside a new exciting fashion company; 'Missy Empire'. Missy Empire is a UK based online company, with a range of affordable, on trend pieces, the site is updated regularly so there is always something new to lust after! We thought we would show you what we chose and how we would style these pieces up for Spring/Summer.

I chose this lovely cream floral jumpsuit. I actually don't think i've ever worn a jumpsuit (is that weird?!) so this was a first for me, but this has definitely converted me... a whole outfit in one piece? What's not to love, these must make life SO easy.

The print is so pretty, it's almost in a watercolour style which I think makes the jumpsuit much more delicate and feminine... it definitely isn't just flowery overalls!!!

The shape is great, it's very slim fitting which I like but not too tight, I think this is just SO flattering, it lengthens you, so definitely the answer if you want to appear taller!

I decided to pair it with coral accessories to pick out the colours in the print. I wore this coral silk style bomber jacket which made the look more casual and 'edgy' and luckily for me I had these chunky coral flatforms just lying around (well, i've never wanted to wear them because I don't trust myself not to ruin them).

I decided after styling this up that it would be the perfect wedding guest outfit! I guess I just need the invite now...

Jumpsuit - Missy Empire £18.99

Coral Bomber - Primark £10.00

Coral Flatforms - H&M £19.99

Chain Necklace - Primark £4.00

I chose this baby pink jersey cami dress, I like how simple it is and how you can wear it with pretty much everything... I think it looks really chic and flattering and the material is not too thin so that it hangs nicely and isn't see-through.

I styled the dress with black accessories so it wasn't too girly and added some form of contrast against the pastel pink. Both the black faux leather backpack and the faux leather chunky black gladiator sandals are from primark and I think because they both have gold hardware they go well together. I added my fedora style hat and a spiked diamanté necklace, but kept everything else really simple.

The ways of styling this dress are pretty much endless, it would look great mixed with two other pastels for the tri-pastel trend which is really popular at the moment, or it could look cool with some trainers, a leather or denim jacket and a leopard print clutch.

Alice Spaghetti Strap Swing Vest - £9.99

Primark Black Gladiator Sandals - £13

Primark Backpack - £10

Fedora Hat, Vintage Fair - £15

We both really love the pieces we received, the quality was great and they were SO affordable which makes them perfect in our eyes! Every time we check out the site they have new items up, and they are all so on trend right now, they even have a whole section devoted to pastels which we love!

You can also find Missy Empire on Facebook and Twitter, we're big fans of the twitter page because of the weekly competitions they run!! Have a look... they're definitely worth a follow!

STYLING: Gingham Jeans

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 11 May 2014 16:57:00 +0000

So I just thought i'd just show you how i've been wearing these baby blue gingham skinny jeans I bought recently from Primark. They are a total rip off of the Topshop gingham Joni's that everyone seems to have at the moment, which makes me like them even more! They are a really good fit and high waisted too, so it seemed silly not to get them!

The first way i've styled them is with this oversized denim shirt, I love wearing shirts over outfits instead of a jacket or just as a layering piece, I think it can really dress down any look and can make things much more casual. I've rolled the sleeves because I think it makes it look cooler...

I could be wrong, in fact, i'm probably wrong... i'm just a big rolled sleeve fan!!

Little theme here, with the oversized denim... I bought this cute little 90s style cami vest from Primark and thought it would be a really simple way of wearing the jeans, with white accessories, and then layering up with a massively oversized slouchy denim jacket.

I've also paired the jeans with other pastel items, I think they look so cute put with this fluffy lemon turtleneck jumper, the colours compliment each other so well and the shape of the jumper just dresses the jeans up the perfect amount. I also styled them with this textured pastel pink top, which I think is such an easy way to wear them but still looks put together.

Gingham Jeans- Primark £13

White crop- Primark £2

Oversized Denim Shirt- Thrifted

Birks- Primark £5

Cami Vest- Primark £4

Denim Jacket- Thrifted £7

Lemon Turtleneck- Primark £10

Pink Textured Top- New Look £12.99

Sunglasses- Primark £2

With all the outfits I have been wearing my new wannabe birks, I just love them and they are perfect for my spring wardrobe because I don't actually own any other white shoes, plus they literally go with everything!

LOVING: Birks

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 08 May 2014 18:27:00 +0000

So, we have both seriously jumped on that Birkenstock Bandwagon, me however, i'm on the cheats wagon. I got Birkenstock knockoffs (Birkenknocks?!) and I just wanted to share them with you! I really LOVE them, they look so similar and they're a really cheap way of following the trend... They probably aren't half as comfortable as the official's but I can face that for a fraction of the price! They are sooo flattering on your feet though and literally go with everything. I will say though, they aren't as easy as I thought to walk in, maybe that's just me?!

Apparently you have to develop the 'slider walk'... We shall see!

WEARING: The Nineties Getup.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 07 May 2014 20:27:00 +0000

I'm travelling back to the 90's, I feel like I should be on the set of '10 things I hate about you' or 'clueless' here, all I need is Skechers and a Prada backpack! Anyway, I hope you like this outfit, I saw this button up (down?) gingham dress in H&M and I thought it was really cute and simple. Because it was sunny but not too warm I went for the 90's vibe and decided to layer the white ribbed topshop crop top underneath, I added my white one-strap birks, my oversized topshop gold chain and my new pastel-pink faux leather jacket which I loooove.

Gingham button slip dress - £9.99 H&M

White ribbed crop top - £8 Topshop

Pink PU jacket - £25 Depop

The Future Is Lilac

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 02 May 2014 13:29:00 +0000

Soooo... I've done another wishlist, pastels are huge right now and I love the idea of mixing girly lilacs, mauves and pinks with futuristic metallics and holographics. I love the idea of contrasting the super girlyness of loads of sparkly diamondy jewellry and a full tulle midi skirt against the sharp moderness of these holographic booties or a holographic backpack. Everything here can just be mixed and matched with such a cool, on-trend result every time!

White Hot & Citrus

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 21:02:00 +0000

I am loving citrus brights teamed with all things white and all of these would look a so good on a lovely tanned bod (if only). I am in love with these ASOS white sandals and they may just have to be my very next purchase! White I always think looks so chic and brights are so summery, this post is making me crave sunshine! I love it and want it all!

I've been loving... co-ords!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 20:15:00 +0000

Outfit 1/Two Piece: Primark/Chunky chain: Forever 21/Cleated Sandals: la moda /Coral Clutch: Boohoo

Outfit 2-/Two Piece: Choies/ Frilly Socks: Miss Selfridge/Jellies: New Look

Outfit 3-/Two Piece: SheInside.com/Watch: Olivia Burton /Flatforms: New Look/Leather Backpack: Grafea

So I know these three outfits are definitely wishful thinking from me, but I can dream right? I just love two pieces at the moment!! I have chosen three printed ones because I think they are really cool for spring/summer plus, prints are always on trend!!

The first two-piece is my favourite, surprisingly its from Primark, which, being the one of the biggest fans of Primark (along with my sister) makes me love it even more!! I've seen this palm print on loads of pieces recently and I think its a cool twist on the floral trend, and great for holidays! I've decided to keep this outfit simple and dress it up, this would be great for a night out! I've paired it with a chunky gold chain necklace, a simple coral clutch and a pair of chunky black sandals, which, surprise surprise... are also on my wishlist!

I love the tailored cuts of all three co-ords, I think the simple shapes even out the wild prints. The second outfit I have styled in a more casual way, I have chosen to pair it with some white frilly socks (socks are apparently big this season!) and some red jellies. I love jellies and I think they are a really easy way of making an outfit cute and casual, and the red matches perfectly with the print.

Finally I have chosen this geometric print, which I think is really cool and could be worn day or night! I have styled this, with chic white accessories to keep the outfit really simple. I have chosen some 90s flatforms from New Look, a lovely Olivia Burton watch and this amazing leather rucksack from Grafea which, by the way, is so out of my price range, but lets pretend not!

I hope you liked the outfits! Its safe to say I definitely want them all now!!!!!

It's a Spring Thing

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 19:29:00 +0000

Okay I got seriously overexcited in the brief sunny patch of weather we had...Anyway, as always everything I've bought is vaguely impractical for British weather, but I'm a vaguely impractical person with little to no self-control so here it goes…

I thought I’d do a little post on some of the lovely things I’ve picked up recently.

The first thing I want to show you is this bikini, which I am completely loving and cannot wait to wear! It’s from Primark and was a steal at 11 pounds in total, I have a big thing about high rise bikini bottoms at the moment, I think they are so flattering and look really cool, sort of fifties inspired. But I think the pinstripe white and neon coral really gives it a modern look. This would look amazing with a great tan, sipping a cocktail on a yacht in the south of France… or you know, the more likely option of, lying on a beach, sarnie in hand, in sunny Spain!

Next, are these jeans, once again they are both from Primark (I am obsessed with hunting around Primark). These two pairs are so pretty, and I think look much more expensive than they cost! As you probably know gingham is everywhere right now and these pastel blue pair are great for spring, and they look great teamed with other pastels. The floral pair really remind me of the china print trend that was in last year, but I love them all the same, I think they'll look really cool with a slouchy grey vest and some Birks. (Gingham £13, Floral, £13)

I bought this second bikini, I really love that it's mainly this lemony colour, I thought the tropical floral print was really cute as are the little frills on the bottoms, also the shaping of the top is great for making the most of your booblets! (Peacocks, £11)

Keeping it pastel, I picked up this colour block clutch from Primark I love the mix of the mint and baby pink, it would look great against an all white outfit. I also bought two more cami's; the peach is from Matalan, and the lemon is from Primark, the quality and fit I'd say is on a par with the Topshop cami's and so much cheaper! I think Cami's are simple but always look really classy and they can be paired with just about anything! (Clutch, £4, Lemon Cami, £4, Peach Cami, £6)

I won this lilac polka dot midi dress on eBay for about 25 pounds, it's so lady-like and lovely, kind of reminds me of the polka dot dress Julia Roberts wears to the polo in Pretty Woman, this would be great as a wedding guest dress or could be worn in a more casual way. The nude and white strappy block heels I got from Matalan for 15 pounds and the gold and black beaded necklace was 3 pounds from Primark.

Last but not least, is this pretty little skort, only six pounds from Primark, the fit is great and the print is cute, and so wearable I absolutely love it!

Leopard&Lilac

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 21:11:00 +0000

Asda Dress
Warehouse Leather Jacket (Similar here)

River Island Loafers
Michael Kors Parker Watch

Just like everybody else this spring I am seriously loving pastels. The pastel trend is one I literally cannot get enough of, I spend too much time procrastinating over pastel shoes, pastel bags and pastel separates, then realising they probably aren't the most practical piece for my wardrobe. Although not practical, it doesn't stop me buying them.

When I saw this lilac dress I could not resist it, not at £16 anyway!

I am so glad I bought this and I think it looks great paired with a leather jacket and tights, skater dress shapes are so easy to wear too! I can't wait till its warmer weather though so I can wear it with bare legs and chunky cleated sandals. This would probably look even cooler with a pastel pink leather jacket... not that I need a pastel pink leather jacket, saying that, I think my sister might have just bought one! Perfect!

Intro.

Hello.

We are a couple of blogging newbies, two sisters from the South-West of England who thought we'd finally try our hand at blogging. Having watched YouTube videos and read blogs for years, we have now decided we want to jump on the bandwagon. The one on the right, in the loud eighties leggings is me, Korin, and I am now 23 years of age. On the left - rocking the classic nineties 'do, the fountain (which has had a bit of a come back recently!), is me, Georgie, I am 21.

As you can see we have been true fashion icons since we were small.

As girls that grew up in the nineties we are loving that jellies, co-ords, dungarees and everything we wore from the ages of 1 - 10 are "totally trendy" right now!

If only it all still fitted us!
