Get the Look . . .

Now this is not something I have done before but I just happened to be watching a music video by the lovely Lorde and while shopping for New Years bits I stumbled on a perfect get the look outfit.

Here is the video for the song Yellow Flicker Beat by Lorde, used in the latest Hinger Games film.


There of course is a particular look that I am trying to recreate and it is this one below . . .



Now I know these aren't the best images but if you watch the video you will see what I mean.
So I found these great get the look pieces from ASOS. The only difference is that Lorde's are loose fitting and this look is fitted but as you will see it gives the same great look.

I think Lorde looks brilliant in this red set and I think this ASOS set is just as good.
Although the trousers are not high waisted like Lorde's they equally look good with the crop top.
A bold look for a bold lady!

What do you think of Lorde's look?

It's Party Time!

Is it just me, or has this year now we are close to the end seemed to go really quickly?
I feel like I personally have accomplished a lot this year that I am proud of and hope you all feel the same. I don't know how you will all be spending you New Years, but hopefully you will be with good company and of course a bottle or two of bubbly.
I can however show you some great last minute buys, perfect for the welcoming in 2015!
Now I'm going to show you a variety of styles as I know we are not all built to be able to wear amazing jumpsuits or maxi dresses, I am too small to be able to pull these off unless I had killer heels!

Without anymore nattering here we go here are some of the best outfits that I've found!

Starting with this striking red one shoulder playsuit. I love how they have designed this piece with the sweetheart neckline and the slight gathered detail under the bust, adding to the silhouette of this piece. If you have the legs for this pieces I would dare to be the lady in red on New Years eve. You will steal the show and still look demure and elegant no matter how much you have had to drink! This piece again is selling out quick so if you like it grab it now!

Now if like me you are a huge fan of LBD's you will love this simple next piece.

How beautiful is this dress! Simple on the front with a slight glimpse of lace detail on the low v-front but then you turn around to show this stunning back. A simple and elegant piece unfortunately for me at least I can't wear these dresses because I would have to wear a bra which as you can imagine will totally ruin the effect of the back. So ladies with smaller busts make the most of this dress as you will look incredible!

Now I just am so in love with this dress it is a bit ridiculous. If you have read my blog before you will know I have a serious problem with lace dresses, they are like pokemon I have to have them all! So what is special about this dress? Well it is in a beautiful shade of burgundy, it has an embellished top, and a cheeky bit of mesh panelling. It is really beautiful and would make you stand out for all the right reasons, yes it is a revealing dress but hasn't it been done in such an elegant way?

Now I haven't looked at FCUK in a long time, mainly because it was out of my price range but I thought it is a great place for dresses for special occasions, expensive yes but well made and cut from brilliant quality fabrics it is also. Anyway I found this great dress, I love the simpleness again of the design but I just love the heavily embellished neckline. This will sparkle in the strobe lights or candle lights depending on your event. I really like this dress and am seriously considering making a splurge on it.

Finally this cool dress, it reminds me of the Art Deco designs from the recent Great Gatsby film. I love the shapes and how they have been places on the body, although this dress could look busy to you it will help show off your curves to a T. The neckline will also give you a cheeky flash or cleavage, again we are talking classy not tacky. I cannot wait to be home in Jan when I can go and try this beauty on and hopefully take it home with me.

Finally my favourite 3 New Year Accessories . . .


How perfectly fitting are these three bags/ clutches! The first well I don't think I need to say anything to persuade you about it! The next a pale pink bubbly bottle again what is not to like, this is also available in white if you are not a huge fan of the pink. Finally if your trying to make a point to someone about the midnight kiss you can always point to your bag they will get the message.

What will you be wearing this New Year?
I think I will be wearing a black lace, yes what a surprise, body con dress and a statement necklace. I'll instagram a picture of my outfit on the day. I hope you all have a wonderful day whatever you are doing and that you have a happy and successful 2015!

Sale Time . . .

Merry Christmas Everyone! Few days late I know, I hope you all had a wonderful day with your friends and family!
I'm currently writing this from Holland as I am staying with my family for the festive period.
Seeing as I am in Holland, I'm doing my sale shopping online. Tomorrow I will be heading into town here to do some serious shopping, when the snow thaws a bit more.

So here are my top 3 pieces available from the H&M, Topshop, and River Island.

Let's start with my favourite store H&M . . . 
For Individual Prices Click Here
Now I have been in love with this green dress since it first arrived in store and now it is half price in the sale!! Now I think a few others have spotted this as it is selling out very fast! So if you love it as much as me I would buy it asap. Next this sweater, I just love the fabric it has been cut from, the weave is brighter when you see it in person and really makes a statement, I think the use of black ribbing for the finishings works really well and makes the pattern jump out at you even more. Imagine this sweater with a tailored pair of black trousers! Finally everybody loves a hoodie,I love this one as it is super long and so would be great for throwing on over a dress to keep you warm, or again also this would look good with black or even patterned tailored trousers, I will certainly be buying one of these.

Now onto Topshop . . .

Now if you are looking for some sequin pieces or just metallics this is the sale you should be going to! There are so many pieces to choose from it's crazy!
I love these three the most, these T-Bar shoes are to die for, I love the classical shape in the fun glitter and with the subtle silver metal band at the bottom of the heel, which makes these look more than a gimmick shoe. These shoes can make any outfit look party ready, and classy. Moving onto this skirt, I love the mermaid scale like effect the sequins have, and then the addition of the net trim at the bottom to make it a more grungy piece. Great with a black top or sweatshirt thrown on top. Finallt unusually for me I love these white sparkle brogues, I love silver and other metallics but I'm not a huge fan of white pieces but I do love these, I can see them matched with a nice pair of black trousers or even with a white pair to add a bit of sparkle. Suitable for work and for play and in the sale why would you not buy them!

River Island . . .

Now River Island, to be honest I though I would see more that I liked in the sale, but these were the only three things I saw that I thought were nice or interesting buys. First of all these fabulous high waisted red velvet shorts, tailored to perfection this will look brilliant on anyone and will be very flattering. Next this navy and white striped crop top, I just love the cut of this piece, and they way they have used the striped pattern to achieve a simple yet striking statement, Finally these faux green snake print slip on flatforms, usually I am not a huge flatform fan but I do like these they just stand out to me and would add a bit of interest to any work outfit.

Which bits will you be buying?
