Monday Match Up!

Hello lovelies! Well this is different...match up on a Monday! I hope you're all well and you're embracing your inner fashionista! If you remember way back to one of my first posts, I analysed and tried out an outfit inspired by Ariana Grande. I am honestly so in love with Ariana's fashion sense, it's so quirky and unique and she makes any item of clothing look cute so today I wanted to display a few of her outfits and show you how you can dress similarly to her! I hope you enjoy this post and fall in love with Ari's fashion sense as much as I have!
 
 
1 - Simply glam
This is such a stunning glamorous outfit. White is such a pure colour to suit any hair or skin colour but this dress goes especially well with Ariana's olive skin colour. By teaming this dress with a pair of nude heels, the attention is not distracted from the dress and it can simply stun by itself.
 

Dress; Miss Selfridge £25, Shoes; Dorothy Perkins £29


2 - Floaty Floral
This dress is stunning and summery with the cut out sides adding a touch of sexiness. This is the perfect holiday or beach dress!
 
 Dress; New Look £22.99
 
3 - Flirty Flowers
This is such an adorable matching bandeau and skirt combination. I love the way that the patterns match but they are broken by the show of a midriff. This is such a happy and summery outfit perfect for a party or garden do!
 
Top; New Look £5, Skirt; New Look £7
 
4 - Classy Peplum
This top oozes class with its sophisticated pattern and crisp white colour. Team this top with black disco pants and black heels for a night time look.
 
 
Top; Lipsy £38
 
 
5 - Mellow Maxi
The maxi dress is the perfect way to elongate your frame especially if you are of petite build. Wear a maxi dress in a pastel or sorbet colour to look perfect at any summer wedding or party.
 
 
Dress; New Look £15, Headband; New Look £3.99
 
 
6 - Wonderful Watermelon
This is probably my favourite outfit out of them all! This outfit is so cute and quirky, it really is adorable! This outfit would definitely be memorable and eye-catching and it is perfect for any occasion from a picnic in the park to shopping with the girls.
 
Top; nastygal.com £31.39 (unfortunately, it appears that this website no longer sell the matching shorts but if anyone manages to find them, be sure to let me know!)

Pretty in Pink


Hello beautiful fashion lovers! Sorry for my shockingly irregular blogging recently but I will hopefully be back up and running with Mid-Week Match Up this Wednesday!
Just the other day, I was reading the September issue of Vogue and I was absolutely delighted to see several glossy pages of Cara Delevingne rocking different shades of pink. As I read, I came to realise that pink is definitely the colour to wear this season and, as a lover of pink myself, I'm not going to argue!
Pink really is a perfect colour, often linked to femininity and, when worn correctly, it can ooze class and sophistication. Subtle baby pinks worn in the autumn can reflect the beauty of the summer just gone by whereas deeper or brighter shades such as fuschia welcome and add colour to the duller months
I think it is fair to say that I will be shamelessly donning several shades of pink this season and here are a few high street gems that I have found to help you on your way too.

1) Dungaree dress; Topshop £18, 2) Cami top; Miss Selfridge £16, 3) Jumper; Miss Selfridge £32,
4) Jacquard jeans; River Island £35, 5) Lace Skirt; Topshop £25, 6) Waterfall Blazer; New Look £24.99,
7) Shoes; Topshop £35, 8) Bowler Bag; Dorothy Perkins £35, 9) Ankle Socks; Topshop £3.50

 
1) Striped Dungaree Dress
I am so in love with this adorable piece of clothing! Dungarees are so versatile because there are so many things you can team them with, they look great with a plain cropped tee or a basic white Ralph Lauren top! This dress is unique as the candy shop pink and white stripes are such a memorable print. I would wear this item with knee high grey socks and a pair of brown suede loafers.
 
2) Cami Swing Top
Everyone needs a simple cami swing top in their wardrobe and it just so happens that this one from Miss Selfridge is a delicious baby pink colour. Rock a plain swing top with a pair of faded wash skinny jeans and ankle boots for a relaxed, Western look.
 
3) Waffle Knit Jumper
The perfect winter woolly! This jumper is effortlessly chic and the neutral colour means that it would look great teamed with almost everything. I would wear this jumper with a pair of dark blue jeans and ballet pumps or similarly with plain black leggings.
 
4) Jacquard Jeans
Jacquard trousers are definitely my new guilty pleasure. They have such an unusual pattern that you wouldn't expect to see on a pair of trousers and these are especially individual with their bright raspberry pink colour. Wear these jeans with a swing top like the one above!
 
5) Lace Skirt
The classic skater skirt. Can't be faulted. This is such a dainty and feminine item that could add a touch of glamour to any event. Play this skirt down with a white vest top and ballerina pumps or dress it up with an embellished crop top and statement heels.
 
6) Waterfall Blazer
The pinnacle of sophistication; the blazer. I personally have a bit of an addiction with buying blazers, they have the ability to make any outfit look smart and classy. Waterfall blazers also have a more casual effect with their lighter material and smooth outline. This one would look incredible with a plain top, blue or black skinny jeans and a pair of smart stiletto sandals.
 
7) T-bar Shoes
These are quite possibly my favourite item on this page; they're adorable! These are so worth the £35 they cost as they would go with pretty much anything; jeans, shorts, dungarees, you name it! These shoes are super casual and the laser cut heart shapes add a hint of girliness and quirkiness to them, perfect for any vintage chick.
 
8) Bowler Bag
A blush coloured bowler bag should be on every girls with list; a boyish shaped bag in a feminine colour - perfect! Not only are these bags incredibly practical (small on the outside, big on the inside as a good handbag should be) but they are incredibly stylish and look beautiful with anything from pencil skirts and blouses to ankle grazing trousers and printed tees.
 
9) Lace Trim Ankle Socks
The cutest vintage accessory you could own! Wear these socks with dungarees and jelly shoes or leggings and loafers for an instant girly and graceful transformation.
