Camo&Neon mash up!

I put together this really cool outfit (well at least I think so), its slightly grungy with the creepers but you could also just wear it with combat boots or like the pair that I have shown below. I didn't take very good pictures of the full outfit, I apologise for that but I think you get the general idea.
white plain tank top: anywhere
camo over-sized shirt: New Look
Velvet (kind of) skirt: New Look
Knee High Socks: M&S
Neon Pink Mini Satchel: Topshop
Creepers: New Look
Laced up suede boots: New Look
Spiked Necklace: Topshop
Rose Gold Watch: Newlook
(sorry, I really can't remember the prices to all of these items but each of them are under £20.00)
I mean who doesn't love a bit of camo and neon in their lives so I decided to mash the two up in this outfit:









                               



I hope this gave some what an idea of how you could style camo or neon and I would love to know in the comments what you thought about the outfit. If you have any posts that you would like me to do just let me know in the comments as well and I would gladly do them!

Avon Nail Varnishes!

Wow, feels like I have not been on here in years! But I do feel like I am back on track now even though I still have so much going on with school, I think I should make time for my blog!
I have recently bought few products from the Avon catalogue which I was quite hesitant about because I have never bought anything from Avon before so I didn't really know what to expect but also really excited to try new products. I'm always up for trying new products as long as its not foundation. I did get a few skincare stuff that I haven't tried yet but I was particularly impressed with their "30 second speed dry nail varnishes".

I got four in the shades Ballerina, Suddenly Sunny, Vamp it and Sprightly Mint (left to right)  that is one thing that always attracts me to products, the name. I thought that these would be great for S/S13 and if you know me well enough you would know that theres nothing I hate more than un-painted nails. I feel like having painted nails is like wearing an accessory. I have tried all of these on my nails and I love them all, they all do what they say and dry in 30 seconds, one of the reasons why they dry so quick is because the consistancy of it is quite weak which is not much of a problem because you can always add more coats according to how you like it. Can not wait to wear these this coming months and I will definitely buy more products from Avon they sell amazing products at such good prices.Definitely recommed having a look at the catalogue!


Let me know which one is your favourite in the comments!?

Celine Luggage Tote Vs Cambridge Satchel


Not going to lie I have been kinda slacking with my blog lately which is not something that I am proud of but I do have a perfectly valid excuse: I have been doing a lot of revising of late because I am in my final year GCSE's, and my exams are not too far away which makes me want to cry just typing it.

BUT, forget the slightly depressing part of my life; lets all take time to admire the these two gorgeous creations the Celine Luggage Tote Vs Cambridge Satchel two items that are definitely on my wish list, even though the price is SO of my budget. A girl can dream right?











I don't think that these two bags have ever been compared to each other because they are completely different to one another. The Celine Luggage Tote looks very chic and not very practical in other words it would need to be well taken care of especially considering the price which is $2,000 for the solid colour which could go up to at least $3,400 according to size. The bag comes in four different sizes, nano, micro, mini and phantom and after watching a fair amount of YouTube videos on reviews for these beauties it was all positive. A lot of the YouTubers said that they manage to fit quite a bit of stuff in there such as a laptop, Ipad, a book, purse and a phone all in at once this obviously goes for the phantom but for the smaller sizes you would want to be a more cautious with the weight of the items that you put in the bag because the wear and tear of the bag will not last very long. Overall, the Celine bag is definitely something that I would like to purchase when I have finances (LOL). My attraction for this bag definitely came from the Kardashian/Jenner Klan, I think even baby Penelope has a miniture version of it.

The Cambridge Satchel is so "London" and I am so obsessed with London fashion which is what attracts me to this bag even more. I was first introduced to this bag by the google chrome advert on TV. If you live in the UK you might know what I'm talking about if not just YouTube "Google Chrome Cambridge Satchel advert" and it should come up. When I saw the ad I was instantly attracted to the bag, let alone the actual story about how it all began and being a Fashion Blogger I found it really inspiring. After all the reviwes that I watched a lot of the vloggers said that the Cambridge Satchel is a very structured bag, one of the reasons being that the bag is made from real strong leather which I guess is a good thing because you know that it will last you a long time and the bag won't really lose it's original shape which is what I think attracts people to the bag in the first place. For some this might be a bit of a hassle if you are someone like me who just throws in whatever you need for the day and you are out the door.


As for me I don't really know which is my favourite, haven't made my mind up just yet but I would love to hear what's your personal favourite or you can just tell me about your all time favourite bag so make sure you comment below!

hope you enjoyed!

London, Milan and New York Street Style!

London, Milan and New York! three places that I would love to go to some day solely because they are some of the biggest fashion capitals in the world. Being able to surround yourself with people who share the same passion for fashion as you do in a gorgeous city, sounds like paradise to me!

LONDON TOWN

London being one of the fashion capitals that have so many different cultures, I definitely believe that it has influenced British fashion in incorporating the different cultures in the artistry of fashion and will probably continue for many years to come. Street Style in particular has been influenced the most because the people of different cultures themselves are allowed to create an outfit including all their own cultural elements. I noticed that London fashion is a lot more grimy and grungy, there is just something alot more raw about British fashion compared to the other cities which is something I love.

In the streets of London she is sporting leather jacket, black pleated mini, black tights, black patent heels and a gorgeous satchel, so perfect for London weather.




This outfit is a lot more casual and still perfect for London weather. Shes wearing a black leather jacket (so versatile, something I need to invest in), plain white T-shirt, beige maxi skirt paired with a statement necklace, can't go wrong with a statement necklace.


MILAN

Milan, Italy holds some of the biggest and well known brands such as Valentino, Versace, Gucci, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana. The city hosts Milan Fashion Week twice a year and the Street Style does not disappoint! My favourite time to look at their Street Style is during Milan Fashion Week because that is when you see all the really trendy models going to their next runway and some well renowned fashionista's taking front seats eagerly waiting to see new collections from amazing designers. I noticed that they always pair statement but simple items together and it always looks super chic!
She's wearing a over sized dark green long coat, boyfriend jeans and black suede high heeled booties. Simple yet Stylish.

This is one of my favourites! I love how both of them look so trendy walking beside each other but she looks particularly stunning. This outfit is so street, casual and edgy all at the same time!


NEW YORK CITY

New York City, somewhere I dreamt of going ever since a was a really young girl and the fashion there is just unreal. New York is the core of fashion I like to think because that's where one of the major Fashion Weeks take place and different creative designers put together a fashion show introducing the new upcoming season trends with some of the A-List celebs in the front row which is very exciting. New York is a fast paced city which is something I love because I enjoy being busy and I don't particularly like having a lot of time on my hands.
I love how simple this outfit is but it looks so fashionable at the same time, all shes wearing is a cowgirl denim shirt, plain black tights and those masculine shoes just to tie it all in and the hair suits her so well.
  

This outfit is so casual but well put together I really admire people who take time to create their outfits. I love her jeans, it has the washed out effect, panda grey shirt, over-sized brown fury coat and the boots are so rough and tumble #loveit
