POSITIVE VIBES ONLY...

Just a casual post this time. But i am in LOVE with this topshop quote tee, as soon as it came in i had to have it!! These are words to live by and if you saw my earlier post about my bedroom, positivity is a huge thing in my life, as it should be!

Ripped jeans aswell are a must and i love how they can be dressed up and dressed down! Paired here with a studded black chunky heels i think really adds edge to the casual look.

Im heading to london in a weeks time to visit my sister and i cannot wait to find some pretty places to take some photos for you!! Thank you to everyone that is looking and reading!

MATHEMATICS...

This skirt is everything!! I mean, its not something you could wear every day but nonetheless its fab! Im not going to lie, the grey on grey has been a favourite of mine lately. Now I'm really not into the whole "kardashian' craze but Kimmy K was pictured wearing a dark grey midi and crop co-ord with nude pumps and i fell in love! Grey is such a chic colour and it looks so clean.

Strappy heels like these ones are a must. I found these beauties for £15 in the topshop sale! Absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable!

Apologies for the delay with this post! I hadn't had a day off work to be able to do anything! But blogging straight for the next 3 days i promise!

Thankyou for everyones positive opinions and thoughts on my blog i am having so much fun doing this!

IMPRACTICALITY...

So i had a bit of fun with this post. My AMAZING best friend Danny has been a gem taking the photos for me and he took me up to the Belfast castle gardens and it was just stunning.

The outfit went really well with the settings i thought!! Been just loving all the pelmet skirts that have been coming onto the high street lately. I personally love the detailing on the side of this Topshop number, i think it really adds an interesting touch to it!!

Jersey tops like this one are actual life savers!! Only £12 and they can be worn with jeans,skirts..anything! They look so lovely on. I love the way a black lacy bra underneath a thin white top like this one, can add depth to the outfit and it looks quite cool. (or at least i hope it does!)

I have posted about this fix fur jacket before but i can't explain how much i love it. It goes with everything and i wear it too often haha! Honestly though, go buy a faux fur jacket/coat if you haven't already. They are timeless and so classy.

THE PEPLUM...

Although simple, blue high waisted skinny jeans paired with a pointed stiletto and hoops are the perfect combination for a day/night look!!

Topshop 'Joni' jeans are my favourite style of jeans because they are so flattering on! I find myself wearing them out for drinks but i also find that i can chill out in them at home as well  they are so comfortable! Get yourself a pair if you haven't already they are the jeans i swear by.

This outfit I love for its simplicity, I aren't an eccentric person when it comes to fashion and never have been! I just really love the little detail of outfits such as gold hoops or a watch. 

Now. Lets talk about the craze that is a peplum!! This Topshop jacket is one of my favourite buys this A/W. The shape it can give you is insane!! No matter what your size, a peplum shaped top, jacket, dress.. peplum anything can give you such a lovely shape that nips you in at the waist! Go buy one now!!

LEOPARD LOVE...

This outfit totally defines my style. I just love combining colours that flow well together in an outfit.

The gorgeous leopard beauty is from Topshop, Alex Chung was pictured wearing it for the Topshop Unique A/W14 fashion show and as soon as i saw that, i had to have it!!

Now for the gilet. I wouldn't be a gilet person normally. I find a lot of them to be very boxy for my shape but this one is a lot longer and just matches perfectly with everything i own!! I would highly recommend buying one if you don't already, they can enhance any outfit and keep you warm too without wearing an annoyingly bulky coat.

Although we all look forward to the gorgeous dresses and kimonos of spring/summer. I don't want winter to end!! The colours are just lovely and Im finding everything in my wardrobe is either fur, leopard or burgundy haha!

Reflection...

I guess I'm using today as time to reflect upon everything thats made me the person that i am today. Strong, confident and ready to take on the world!! (cringe!)

Fashion means everything to me...literally everything. You can use fashion to express who you are. Who you might want to be. Who you CAN be. I have worked for Topshop for 3 years now and in that time I've learnt that no matter what anyone tells you, you can get back up on your feet by wearing a fabulous outfit and strutting down the street. Topshop has been a huge influence not only for the whole world, but especially for me.

Theres nothing wrong with hiding your emotions with what you wear! If you're feeling down...wear the most extravagant outfit you can and everyone will be so amazed you won't even remember why you were feeling down in the first place! Dressing is a way of life!! *quote Yves Saint Laurent*

Okay I'm rambling...

Theres a 'Fashion Role Model' incentive in my Topshop store, which gives us more reason to dress up for work! When you work full time you do feel very repetitive in what you wear..so I love to change it up as best i can! I remember when i wanted to work in an office just to wear cigarette trousers with a floaty blouse and cute pointed stilettos...should i have said that? Here are some pictures of my past year at Topshop here in Belfast.

Moral of the story.

Remember. Use fashion as much as you can to show your feelings, your dreams and who you are!! It really helps i promise!

TOPSHOP JANUARY WISHLIST...

Wow! its been a while...

Ive decided to make a start at blogging again. Been feeling very nostalgic lately and felt like I needed to put my passion for fashion (no pun intended!)into words and pictures. 

      As a staff member at Topshop, I am always on the look out for what to buy next and while browsing the website today I found some gorgeous pieces that I think are perfect for this time of year!

Heeled boots are a must for A/W14 going into S/S15! They are a favourite of mine and dress up any outfit. Same goes for the shiny boots, 'MARGOT' at Topshop are a perfect black boot to make you not feel in any way frumpy when wearing flatter shoes.

Ripped jeans...they are the biggest craze over the winter for 2014 which is surprising because here in Belfast its 2 degrees!! But as all fashionistas know, we don't dress practically anyway. I could kick myself for not owning a pair of these ripped beauties, something that I will definitely invest in this month. They look amazing dressed up with strappy heels, but equally good with a pair of patent loafers.

Fur gilets ahh music to my ears! or my wardrobe..(does that even make sense?)I own this exact one thats pictured in cream and cannot get enough, it goes with everything and I believe when you wear something over and over again, its essential to buy it in every colour it comes in! (obviously).

Few of the other pieces are things I've had my eye on for a long time and hopefully my purse won't disagree with me for that!

Thankyou to anyone who has read!

PROM...with a twist..

     It was my college leaving dinner/ball and I personally thought that wearing a dress that will always be compared to all the other dresses...is a bit boring! Taking risks in fashion is always a good thing, even if some people dont think so, you know you look fabulous!

So back to the outfit itself... it was VERY hard work to find a suit that fits a female really nicely (why can men buy such nice ones everywhere they look?!) it baffles me but i got pieces from all over the highstreet to create this look.

Right okay so here it is! Got many strange looks that night but it didnt bother me atall! Knowing that they wore what they wanted to, and i wore what i wanted to made me feel a lot more confident! When you do take a risk, it makes you feel better within yourself because you have kept to your own individual style.

Shirt- Ralph Lauren

Tie- Topman

  Blazer- H&M 

    Trousers- Topshop

      Shoes- Topshop

      Bag- River Island

The silver theme was something new to me, as i personally believe that gold everything looks way better! BUT a lot of comments were made on how well this outfit complimented the silver of my jewellery, bag and shoes!

Makeup- now this isnt a makeup/beauty blog but i wanted to explain that due to the outfit being so daring(as some people would say) i kept the makeup to a minimum, no false eyelashes, no piles of foundation... just a clean looking face with a strong lip. 

 AND FINALLY... the shoes!! Most important asset for a lady many must admit, although my purse takes a good beating every single week on a new pair! These absolute beauties are called 'SUPREMA' and they are from Topshop, they arent in stock any longer but i had this suit idea months ago...so could plan the outfit around them by buying them early! Something i would recommmend to everyone is that if you like one signature piece... buy it!! Work the rest of the outfit around it and you'll find that its easier than crying over that pair of gorgeous heels that have sold out in your size and you cant get them out of your head!

The moral of this little story i guess is to take chances!! If people dont like it, its probably because they are thinking 'damn i wish i thought of that!!'

Be the girl that everybody else wants to be by sticking to what you really want to wear!
