Look for Less: Kate Middleton!

This past week, all i've heard are girls everywhere lusting over Kate Middleton's first post-baby dress!
I have to admit, the beautiful cornflower-blue, polkadot dress was top of my 'must-have' list until I quickly realised it was Jenny Packham haute couture, and therefore unavailable for purchase... damn!
I suppose it won't be long before high street stores, and even other high end designers, produce look-a-like dresses but as soon as I seen Kate's, I literally haven't stopped looking!
By the way, I totally love the feminine, figure emphasizing cut of Kate's Jenny Packham dress and I completely admire her for showing off her beautiful post-baby body- what an excellent role model to new mums everywhere! Shame on you OK! magazine!

Celebrity Look for Less - Vanessa Hudgens!

I loved Vanessa Hudgens' girly but edgy look at the 'New Myspace' Launch Party back in June, however at the moment I cannot justify spending almost £1000 on one outfit! (Even though at some point, I will need those Valentino 'Rockstud' heels in my life!)

So since then I have been looking for a similar look for less that won't bankrupt me!

Look for Less: Studded Heels- River Island ; Bowling Jacket- Zara

... Not bad, if I do say so myself! The River Island heels are missing the fabulous straps that the Valentinos have, but at £15 rather than £610 I suppose I can't really complain! Just pair with a basic black tank/ tee, rolled up boyfriend jeans and some punky jewellery!

Sale Picks

I am absolutely loving the sales right now... most of the items I have come across are now less than half price! Here are some of my favorites I came across while shopping on Thursday! Grab them before they go out of stock!

Shopping and Dinner!

On Thursday evening, Alex & I went shopping in Liverpool to check out the amazing sales (post coming soon with my faves) and later went to La Tasca for tapas.

The weather was very hot & humid so I wore loose, cool clothes and ballet pumps to be as comfy as possible in the heat!

I wore; a Topshop semi-sheer blouse, Topshop skater skirt, New Look ballet flats & carried my Miu Miu 'Vitello Lux' bow bag!

Summer Style

I arrived back home to the UK from Crete, Greece 13 days ago and seem to have brought the Sun with me!
I am absolutely loving this heatwave and all the fabulous Summer Styles I can finally wear!
For day time I love wearing loose dresses, sandals and hats to stay chic but cool- especially if i'm shopping!

For work-wear, go for natural colours that will reflect the light away! i.e.: don't wear too much black! 

Cute & Casual Look: Dress- Zara ; Hat- Warehouse ; Sandals- Stylist Pick ; Shopper Bag- Zara

Business Chic Look: Dress- Zara ; Sunglasses- Gucci ; Heels- Topshop ; Tote Bag- Mulberry


Enjoy the beautiful weather while it lasts! Remember to apply sunscreen!

Sorry!

Hi everyone! I cannot believe how quickly time has flown ... it's slightly depressing! Apologies for my serious lack of blogging- be assured that I still read all of yours practically every day!

The past few months for me have been pretty awful, starting with my last laptop suddenly breaking and me losing absolutely everything on it! I was using my phone from October - January so couldn't really update my blog which sucked! (but could still shop online- yay!).

Since then me and my boyfriend have had really bad luck personally, with his grandparents being unwell and my dad was sadly diagnosed with cancer (please keep us in your prayers!). He seems to be doing really well, thankfully!

I now feel like it's the right time to get my life organised again and really get back on track so I cannot wait to share recent pics and buys etc! Stay tuned!

Lots and lots of love,
