Sneaker peak

Having lived in America for nearly ten years, trainers were a huge part of my life growing up. Over the years they have become a 'must have' in the wardrobe especially a pair of white trainers (or sneakers as the yanks would say). I recently saw a photo of Pamela Anderson in the early 90's (below) which is where the inspiration for this look came from. The All Saints wrap dress is so gorgeous and drapes well over the body, I know I bang on about things draping all the time but if it drapes its more than welcome in my wardrobe! I enjoy the clash between the floaty dress and the harsh white trainer, the dress is really versatile but it also means if you style it up in a slightly different way you can change the whole look of how you want it to be purceived, heels for example would turn this from a day time look to a Saturday night out look. I like contradicting the dress with the trainer, I added the chain belt to compliment the outfit and my Urban Outfitters velvet vintage-look cardigan.

St Tropez Gradual Tan Body Wash- does it really work?

I was reading the latest beauty edition of 'Style Magazine' and came across an advertisement for this St Tropez 'body wash' and I have to say I was instantly infatuated with the idea of have a body wash that can gradually tan you over time?! What girl doesn't love a bit of a tan? Especially during the Summer months. St Tropez has been my bread and butter for years now, I have veered off the beaten path to other brands for that desired glow but none have ever come close to St Tropez. The gradual tan they do is not only moisturising but nourishing at the same time and of course after a weeks use, you really start to see the results. So off I went to boots and of course there was a deal on 'buy one get one half price' so I bought the new body wash and my gradual tan, because of course you'd assume they go hand in hand right? correct. The two products really do marry each other, and although the wash takes a while before you see results it really enhances the gradual moisturiser. So how do you use it? Its simple, exfoliate at the start of the week once, then lather yourself in the product once wet, wait 3 minutes and rinse. Now, you might be wondering what can you do in 3 minutes, I usually put a hair or face mask so that I am doing something productive while I wait for the tan to activate. The bottle advises you to 'pat yourself dry' to save you wiping away any product which will start to be gradually activating now, slap on your gradual tan moisturiser and your good to go. You should start to see results in a week, so my answer to your question is- yes it does really work!

Bag- Frock Me Vintage Chelsea Fair 

(next one is September the 13th!)

So I found this gorgeous bohemian white dress on Free People, the fabric drapes off the body and the cutouts on the shoulders make it so flattering to wear, the slits in the skirt give it movement when you walk, and the fabric is just gorgeous and light. This outfit looks complicated but I threw it together in a  few minutes, we all like a bit of simplicity! The chunky seventies heel is from no other than ASOS, I've blogged these a few times because there so easy to finish off an outfit and ridiculously comfortable. The bag is from the 'Frock Me Vintage Fair' in Chelsea which I've been to 3 times now and always seem to find hidden treasures, it was made before the 50's and the stitching is really impressive, I think the fabric might even be croc? perfect for Summer this outfit really does speak for itself, happy blogging!

Slits and Bits

Happy Thursday guys, no tube strike will get me down! okay so I've been looking for a nice shirt dress for a while (there are few and far) and finally browsing ASOS I found one, from a brand I'll be honest isn't one I am familiar with. I know Miss Guided of course, but I've never explored what they have to offer, their price point is really low which makes it easy to shop as you can get more than one thing! This shirt dress is a gorgeous light silk like material with 2 slits. The slits really are the star of the show for without them there would be no movement (and of course the print!). I matched them with my Aldo knee high boots, I was actually a bit sad to lock these boots away this Summer as I presumed they would be to hot but there actually fine and I've definitely got my wear out of them.

Happy Monday kids, so to start the week I thought I would post this fresh, easy and simplistic outfit together I threw together. I have been browsing the new Millie Mackintosh collection for weeks now, and finally on payday I thought I would treat myself. This wrap top really is a wardrobe must-have for girls this season, its easy to pair with just about anything in your wardrobe and its great for when the weather is hot as the fabric is very breathable. The sleeve almost has a blouson effect which I love, and sets this aside from any wrap top I've seen so far! I paired this with my new Glassons denim shorts, if you haven't checked out Glassons already (check them out here) they are a cool brand from New Zealand I recently discovered and they do just about everything you need for your Summer wardrobe! Obviously my Knee highs married well with both top and short. We shot this look at about 8pm at night for this shoot, the sun glare was gorgeous though the buildings behind!

Orange Is The New Black

Well I don't know about you but the weekend has wiped me out! So I thought I'd throw a nice casual outfit on the blog today, something simple, comfy, and easy to put together. Orange is the Marmite of the colour spectrum, to me anyway. I don't feel like I've ever really appreciated it until now, styled correctly orange can really make (or break) an outfit. I have to admit when styling an outfit, orange has never been top of my priority list but for some reason this top has converted me, I can now confidently say I am a lover for orange. The top is from ASOS who also stock it in black, I have both colours because I love it so much and its just so dam versatile. I've paired the orange wrap top with a ripped mom jean I purchased from a vintage store last year, I watched a youtube video on how to rip your own jeans, and there I was with a kitchen knife hacking away at my newly purchased vintage find. The jean is quiet loose fitting but because the top is so low cut it needed toning down a little. To break the outfit up I've added in my leather Topshop belt with a silver buckle, the bag is also Topshop and adds texture to the outfit, its half smooth leather and half suede with a snake skin affect on it. The chunky heel is from Urban Outfitters from last year, I've had them a while now but they just don't seem to age...The triangle bra under my orange top is from ASOS, its a beautiful set, you can't really see it from the images so I've popped an image of the set below for you to see!

Toying With Tassels

Happy Bank Holiday! So I've wanted to blog a playsuit for quiet some time now, I was browsing ASOS for a bank holiday outfit and came across this beautiful 'Vintage look' playsuit, its actually ASOS own buy but I fell head over heels for it and purchased it in seconds. This was by far the most fun outfit I've shot to date, the movement of the tassels captured really well on camera. I paired this playsuit with my Topshop suede biker boot, which kept selling out and I waited for weeks checking every day for them to come back into stock! But I finally I managed to get hold of a pair. You can also dress this up with heels, like I did for my bank holiday night out, the outfit is extremely versatile which is why I love it so much. The deep V neck line is obviously my favourite part of the playsuit, with long sleeves its fairly covered up so I think it needs that plunge to really make the playsuit pop.  I hope your day off is as glorious and as sunny as mine is! 

Happy blogging,

Love A x
