Blogger collaboration...

I am so stunned at the amount of amazing feedback I have had about the garments that are available on my website and want to thank everyone for all of their support! 

Through social networking sites, Twitter in particular, I have been able to get in touch with fashion and beauty bloggers that have kindly agreed to write a post about one of my garments and have shown how they would style it. 

Here is a glance at one amazing blogger that I find really inspirational and check her blog regularly for style tips!

Hannah has styled the leatherette T-shirt with the contrasting white sleeves (that is available on the website here and you can pick it up for only £6.99!) brilliantly and has kept to the monochrome theme all the way through with key statement pieces. 

Take a look at the full blog post at:

Thanks again to Hannah for this amazing post! :)

Shoesday

Even though I did a wish list last week of all the shoes I love, I wasn't intending on going out and spending all my extra dosh on new shoes! And shoes that weren't even on my wish list! Ha!

But wait until you see these, you won't blame me ;) 

These beauties are from good ol' Primark! As soon as I seen these bad boys I just had to get them, and they are so on-trend! I have actually been wanting these for a while now and I kept finding myself gazing at the Topshop website drooling over the ones for £68. There are also some cheaper ones from Daisystreet for £25 but these were such a steal at £12 each!

And of course, I couldn't make my mind up which colour to get so just for the easiest option, I got them both!

These wedge sandals are perfect for summer (when it finally arrives!) They are so versatile and can take me from daytime to night with just a change of a bag. 

For me the heel size is ideal for daytime, pairing them with the perfect summer dress or black jeans and a boyish white T-shirt.

You can pick these stunners up for just £10 at again, Primark!

I just want to say.. I AM NOW (finally) A PROUD OWNER OF A PAIR OF JEFFREY CAMPBELLS!!!!!

When I came across these, I was in Birmingham fabric shopping and a random girl was wearing these with pride. Before I could ask where she had got them from she had vanished so when I got home I made it my challenge to find them and searched the net. Luckily for me these little beauts were going for £30 on Ebay! Bloody bargain I hear you say? Damn right! Especially when they are £105 from Office! (which then later got reduced to £40 in the sale.) 

At first I was put off as they were a size 6 and i'm usually a 4/5 so I emailed the seller and did some research and it is known that Jeffrey's aren't true to their size. So I jumped in at the deep end and purchased the buggers. 

To my excitement when the postman delivered them on Monday, they fit perfectly!! You can only imagine how happy I was!

These bad boys are never leaving my feet. 

British Style awards

Last night was the British Soap awards held at Manchester's Media City and the small screen actors and actress's walked down the red carpet flashing their pearly whites and posing for the cameras in the most amazing and beautiful outfits! 

Coronation Street dominated the awards ceremony, picking up eight out of sixteen awards and surprise, surprise Michelle Keegan bagged the sexiest female award for the record breaking fifth year in a row. But who can moan?

Here's my favourites from last night :)

So, she bagged the sexiest female award for the fifth time running but why wouldn't people vote for her? 

She looked stunning as she dazzled her way down the red carpet in this strapless gown by designer Rachel Gilbert. Accentuating all the right body parts and falling in the right places, Michelle paired this gown with natural makeup and a cream box clutch while her gorgeous brown locks fell down her back.

Announcing that she is leaving Coronation Street next year and putting Tina McIntyre on the shelf, who will be your Sexiest female of 2015?  

Failing to add a bra to her Roberto Cavalli white blazer, Jennifer Metcalfe flashed her side boob to the paps while on the red carpet. Pairing her lonely blazer with tight black trousers, she fit in well for the nomination of Sexiest Female.  

Revealing what she has got through the awards ceremony with responsible use of tit tape so there was no nip slips (awkward) she then decided to return to her room and chuck on a top for the after party!

She finished off her sexy flesh showing look with a statement gold spike clutch and black high heels.

Wow..is all I can say about this dress.

The sheer lace panelling (that is rather close to the groin region!) shows off Gemma Merna's perfect figure and is extremely daring but perfect in every way!

The Hollyoaks actress bared all in this tight fitting gown which she styled with a neat black manicure and had her hair tied back from her face, letting her body do the talking.

(Which I can image to be very effective!)

I thought co-star Jennifer was brave to show off more than a little bit of flesh in her gaping blazer (above) but I think Gemma took it to the next level and braved the possibility of showing a lot more!

Gemma, you definitely have got my vote!

Accentuating those amazing womanly hips and baring that chest, Gaynor Faye you have done me proud. This tight fitted emerald green floor length gown is definitely on my wish list, but maybe it could of been pulled up a tad more otherwise, nipples galore!

Gaynor shimmered down the red carpet completing her look with her nude lip, red contrasting manicure and gold chain. 

Now, how get I get the money together to buy this beauty...?

I can't help but LOVE these perfectly placed, flesh flashing sheer panels on black gowns.

Hollyoaks actress Claire Cooper keeps her exposed body to a minimum and let's her other two on screen sisters take all the glory but she still bags a place in my top 8!

Perfecting her look with a black clutch bag, french manicure and smokey eye, Claire gets my thumbs up!

Ahh the lovely Brooke Vincent. Wearing ice-white tailoring Brooke has smashed this look by pairing the suit with black and gold heels with a matching bag with gold detailing. 

Her statement red lippy brings the whole outfit together with the finishing touch of a black mani and pedi. Her loose glossy locks gives the look a relaxed off duty feel.

Maybe Brooke and Jennifer should of been seated together so Brooke can show Jennifer how NOT to flash so much flesh in a blazer ;)

Charley Webb brought edge to this years Soap awards. Vamping up this two-peice number, Charley definitely caught my attention. 

Adding her top knot and those hand chains along with her dramatic smokey eye she pulls this outfit off perfectly! 

Now this isn't something you see everyday walking down the red carpet..and that is exactly why I love it.

If there was an award for best dressed of the night, for me Charley would of definitely won my vote!

Matching her lippy to her dress, Coro actress Georgia May Foote strikes out in this tangerine column gown. 

Pairing the floor length dress with gold accessories, Georgia wows her audience.

Her dark brown hair just adds to the effect of this on trend beauty.  

Style Spy

I'd say I check my Tumblr (and Instagram) at least 5 times a day, I love to see what trends are out there and how people style themselves. I use this so much for inspiration for my own personal appearance and for my business. I don't only look at fashion pieces, I also search hair and makeup and reblog my favourite images. 

Mostly, I reblog street style as I find them the most inspirational to me. I love how (for example) 3 girls could own the same pair of denim shorts but make them look totally different to each other. 

One could make them look elegant with a pair of statement heels, another boyish paired with converse and a baggy T-shirt and the third could make them have a boho feel with wellies and a flower headband, ready for a festival.

I feel that somebody's sense of style can tell you a lot about that person so when I check my Tumblr feed, I make a whole new bunch of friends! :-)

   I am a total Tumblr junkie.

 

Girl Crush

She may not be everyone's favourite person and definitely not idolised by the great Twihard fans who is totally head over heels in love with R-Patz but me, I do actually like Kirsten Stewart and love her sense of style, together with Kate Beckinsale and the Olsen twins. 

She has recently topped the best dressed list in Glamour Magazine for best dressed of 2013, so that's gotta count for something, right?

My girl-crush for K-Stew (besides Megan Fox & Lindsay Lohan) first sparked when Twilight Breaking Dawn part 1 came onto the cinemas. That is when I also found a lost love for the Twilight saga. 

I'm also SO jealous she got to play alongside Chris Hemsworth in Snow White and the Huntsman as I am totally in love with him!

(I cannot wait for Thor 2 to be released at the cinemas!)

I love how versatile Kristen is with her style. She can go from daytime tomboy, to night time chic and the fact that she can wear converse with an evening gown and pull it off is just impressive! 

So when people ask, "are you team Edward or team Jacob?" I say neither, I'm team Bella.

 Enjoy! :)
