Hey guys! I thought I would start making a monthly 'love list' to show you fashion and beauty trends I am loving during the month. Studs have been a huge part of my wardrobe this month and I have become a bit crazy about them (as you may tell in some of my posts recently!) so they were a definite on this love list. The bralet would look gorgeous paired with some denim shorts and the jumper perfect to take through to Autumn/Winter. I have been on the search for the perfect cream blazer for what seems like forever now, but I found this one which is perfect, but completely out of my price range at £554 (on sale from £1,230!!).I am obsessed with denim at the moment, so the shirt and shorts were a must. The ombre effect on the shorts is gorgeous and I love pale/pastel blues and pinks together. Nars are so well known for their lovely blushers, but I am yet to try a cream one! Definitely going to have to pick one up. YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks and Chanel nail polishes I have been eyeing for a while, but find it had to justify the price. I think payday may persuade me to splurge on these! Pastel pink jeans have been on my wish list for ages now, i'm not quite sure why I have got round to picking any up tbh, but these ones from Topshop are gorrg. And finally the Jimmy Choo's 'siiigh', they really are the perfect summer wedge. A lovely classic nude patent style, with a summer twist with the cork. I also love the peep toe, and think these would suit a lot of outfits! These are a major want, buut at £275, not sure how quickly that will be happening!

What has been on your wish/love list over the past month or so? 

 

DIY Fashion: Studs!

Hey everyone! As we all know, studs have been a massive trend recently, and one that I adoree! I love how studs can make the most simple of outfits more edgy and also, is a super simple look to achieve. So simple in fact that I picked up some studs on Ebay to do a bit of wardrobe diy-ing and stud some items myself. I ordered a few different sizes from different sellers for not more than £2.99 for a small bag. The studs were shipped from China and did take a a couple of weeks to reach me, but I was willing to wait as they were so cheap and I was in no rush! I chose a few pieces from my collection which I felt could do with some sprucing up and became a little stud crazy!

The black heels I picked up from Primark a while ago but havn't really worn them with them being quite plain. I am unsure whether I want to take the silver studs all the way down the heel, or just scatter them around the back of the heel and mix in some smaller, gold studs!? What do you think?

The white clutch I actually got in a charity shop for around £1! When I saw it I knew it would be fab with studs, so I added some along the opening and also glued on a strip of lace for some extra detail // I love the look of studded collars, so I put some smaller ones of the collar of a denim jacket, I love how this works against the denim // I am experimenting taking some studs down the grey crop top from Topshop, I think it will add a little some extra for a night out! // On a side note, will searching Ebay for studs I also picked up this collar cuff which I love! It attaches like an earring so I can wear it on any top. I am definitely going to pick up some more of these, they looks great with a plain white shirt!

What do you think of the stud craze? Have you had a go at DIY studding? If you have, link your post below, I would love to see!

Feather Accessories

Feather accessories have been a trend for a little while now but something I had never really gotten into. With the whole pastel trend (which I loooove) going on, I have noticed shops bringing in a lot of pretty shades of feathers in different accessories which I knew I had to get my hands on. 


I went into Topshop and picked up these really cute feather hair clips in the sale for a bargain £3.50! They are pale pink feathers, on a gold chain, mixed with a few gold feathers and beads. You can clip them where ever you like in your hair, but I like to put them just behind my eyes so they hang down like ear rings. They add a touch of girlyness to any outfit and are the perfect accessory for the festival season!

I then went into Newlook and spotted this necklace for around £6.99. It is a long gold chain, with light plum coloured feathers on the end, along with some bad detail. I wore this on a night out with a white chiffon blouse and loved the result. It added a touch of colour to my outfit and really finished the whole thing off nicely. 

I will definitely be on the hunt for more feather accessories, I have fallen in love with the pretty colours and how they add an extra bit of girlyness to an outfit! Have you purchased any feather items recently? x
