OUTFIT 1.

What I'm wearing :

Hat - Urban Outfitters, Chelsea Boots - River Island, Skater Dress - Topshop, Coat - Oasis

Hey guys, so this is just a quick outfit I put together. I was kind of in a rush today before I left the house and so the pictures, and their quality are very poor. Also I took these images before I had put my tights on, so please don't think I'm crazy and left the house bare-legged in these horrible winter weather conditions. The dress, hat and coat are all new items of clothing in which I bought at the weekend and the shoes are a few months old. 

Hat - I purchased this hat from urban outfitters on the weekend and fell in love with it straight away. I came across it just as I was leaving the store and thought i'd just try it on for a bit of fun as I honestly don't think I suit hats at all that well, although I love them, I'm not about them on myself. However as soon as I put it on, I loved it!! I've only ever purchased beanie's before and thought this was very different and wanted to try something new and exciting. It's a really comfy hat and I think it can be worn in any season. It also fits really well as opposed to some of my beanies which constantly feel like they are going to fall off my head.

Boots - I've had these boots for a good 6 months now and i'm still constantly wearing them on a day to day basis. They are super duper comfy and I like the fact the elasticated part is in a maroon type of colour which constants nicely with the overall colour of the boot, this being black. I've got several pairs of chelsea boots and this are bar far my favourite. Although I do have a slight obsession and would quite like to by some heeled chelsea's.

Dress - Ok so i'm like ridiculously happy with this purchase from the weekend. I have to be very careful with dresses because i'm not your typical size 8 kinda girl and have pretty big hips and I don't own a perfectly flat stomach. I can't get away with body-con's as unfortunately I do not have the figure and so I tend to go for something that flatters my figure, this being a skater dress. I have so so many dresses of this style and I really love them. This dress in particular is very tight fitting at the top and then slightly flares out at the bottom of your stomach which hides it extremely well!. The colour was another thing that drew me towards this dress, it's a really stunning dark-ish purple colour which is really pretty. I would recommend this dress to anyone who is a curvaceous girl and wants to flatter their figure. Topshop are great for these types of dresses.

Coat - I love love love this coat!. I don't tend to own many coats I'd probably say I only own around 2 because I absolutely hate winter clothing and I'm more of a summery type person and so my wardrobe has far too many summer clothes and not enough winter clothing. However I came across this coat in Oasis and loved the whole design to it. I love the tie tassels as these make the coat look really well fitted and I also like the fact it has a hood as many coats i've liked or purchased in the past haven't had a hood? crazy I know. I also like the simplicity of the colour as it goes well with anything. 

CELEBRITY FASHION CRUSH

ALEXA CHUNG

Ok guys, so i'm just going to let you all know that I have the biggest crush on Alexa Chung, I absolutely love everything that she's about and she is possibly one of the most beautiful  female celebrities ( in my opinion ) and seems to look good/pull off everything that she wears. Her fashion is truly gorgeous and I absolutely love all the above outfits. 

My favourite outfits out of the six displayed above if I had to choose would most definitely be the top left, and the bottom right. The top left in my opinion is really quirky and vibrant and would totally draw peoples attention, but for the right reasons. The satchel bag is one of my favourite parts of this outfit and I also love the maxi skirt that she is wearing, although I do not own one of these myself, I will be looking into purchasing one, possibly for the summer holidays when I will be visiting several countries.  

The bottom right outfit is casual and classy. I am in love with the navy blue coat and it really contributes to the pale dress underneath. I always make sure that my outfits are colour co-ordinated or the colours in which I am wearing do not clash and it may or may not also be something you do yourself however there is nothing worse than going out in two colours that really do not go with one another, for example orange and yellow is a no go ( personal opinion, don't hate ). The boots are another thing I am totally in love with in this image and the cute little socks underneath work well with these. I am really liking heeled boots at the moment and will hopefully be purchasing a pair myself very soon. 

So there you go, there's a short review on Alexa Chung's outfits and what I love about them etc. She has always been a fashion inspiration to me and I admire her fashion and the way she dresses very much.

One last thing, as you can see in the bottom right image, Alexa has dip dyed her hair a slightly lighter colour to her natural colour. This is also something I am going to be doing to my own hair in 2 weeks time and shall be posting images as soon as it is done

MAC LIPSTICK

sheen supreme - good to be bad 

amplified - chatter-box

So recently I have be buying make-up products in MAC. This is simply due to the fact I received money for christmas and wanted to spend a bit more money than usual on make-up especially lipstick as lipstick is something I barely ever leave the house without. 

MAC LIPSTICK - GOOD TO BE BAD : After looking online at this lipstick several times I finally decided to go down to the store and purchase it. This lipstick is presented in a slightly different way to your average lipstick and my other MAC lipstick chatter-box. Instead of having a pointed top, the top of this lipstick is simply flat and round, which does sometimes make it a bit more difficult to apply however still gives you a lovely finish. The dark purple colour itself is gorgeous, and I think this lipstick goes really well with the winter season at the moment as it is much darker than my other MAC lipstick.

MAC LIPSTICK - CHATTER-BOX : This is an extremely new lipstick of mine, in fact I only purchased this lipstick today. Seeing as my other MAC lipstick is a fairly dark colour I wanted something a lot more girly, and light. As you can see this pink is pretty vibrant and would look absolutely gorgeous in the summer season. I would probably say I prefer this lipstick purely because of the feel and texture of it on my lips. I also think it is easier to apply and in general I prefer this purchase.

First post/introduction

Hello guys,

Ok so this is my first ever post on blogspot.com and i'm pretty terrified. I discovered this website a little while ago, but didn't think I had anything interesting to blog about or share with you. However I really enjoyed looking at other people's blog's and thought i'd finally give it a go.

After browsing through many fashion blogs I have decided that I shall also be blogging about fashion. This blog will simple contain some of my day to day outfits, make-up that I am currently using or would recommend and other fashion type things. 

Hopefully you guys will enjoy and I will also have fun doing it.
