Thursday Fashion Look, Animal Print Clothes

Hello and welcome! So each Monday and Thursday I put together a Fashion Look Book of different clothes that can be worn through out the year, and Animal Print is a favourite of mine.

In the DIAL video I am putting together shows the Animal Print dress I have, bought from Very and I love it. I wore it with skin colour tights, pink shoes from wish and a black cardigan handed to to me, and my pink handbag.

So I want to share styles of animal print and how you can make it into a forever longlife wardrobe, and have it for years to come.

So in looking at Animal Print fashion I was instantly pulled to this top, and it a halter neck and great for curvy women like me, and great to put with some smart trousers or black jeans, layered with a blazer or a cardigan, and an underlayer of a smart brown or black jumper.

If we have more warm weather, then as you see in this picture as it is, and with a lovely long skirt or pencil skirt.

Here is another top, and both are from Shein and at a good price and this is a hint of animal print. This great with how you see it, with jean (as I like to call them) shorts or mini jean skirt, and also a pair of jeans women’s jeans. For me Bootleg style, jeggings or skinny jeans.

This is from Lightinabox and is a Animal Print jacket, and again definitely I nice piece to have. If you don’t want a top, then this jacket is style, good length and can be worn in the autumn and winter, with a sleeveless black pollar neck or a black V-Neck top and with black trousers or leggings with jewellery can glam it up for going out in the evenings.

This All-in-one dress, with top and skirt from Chic Me is great for all year. I like the v neck detail and the big plits at bottom of the skirt. Can be worn like you see it in the summer, with some ballet pumps, shoe boots and use a belt around the middle, and with black tights for the winter, with a nice black blazer or for casual Jean Jacket.

This dress from Shein and I will show you mine again, in a video on Youtube I am gonna put together of the one I have and example of how you can wear it. so go to my channel and they will added along with this blog tomorrow.

Here is a link to my Main Youtube Channel:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUDFIqjVKLy7NhtcR6Hy0Tg

I will link it along with my DIAL, but now checking the ones I shown in the blog, they can be great for summer when it is a windy day and summer when on holiday when the evenings are cooler and be dressed up for evening time. If near where there is a pool have this over the top over your bikini or swimming all in one costume, and then with ankle, sandals or knee high boots.

Many thanks for reading,

Monday Look Book/Fashion that will last a Lifetime

Hello! Here on this blog site I post many Look Books talking fashion, and I do have a Youtube channel where I share content including fashion so check it via this link:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUDFIqjVKLy7NhtcR6Hy0Tg

When it comes to fashion I like to Mix n Match clothes and a woman who loves colours.

I have just looked on Pinterest and came across this top and this is what I am all about.

This top is from Berrylook and caught my eye instantly. This would be great with a pair of black boot leg trousers, white jeans or trousers and Skinny Jeans or flared

This would be everlasting and definitly worn all year round and really good price for such a gorgeous top.

Cotton And Linen Solid Color Casual Loose Pants
White

Now white is tricky, especially if you have children, as they will wipe food on you and I do spill food on myself too, yet no need for a bib, but yes white is lovely but worn away from hazardous children and certain foods.

Still is great outfit with the top, to meet friends in a outdoor pub or even meeting for coffee and will last a lifetime.

These bottoms also from Berrylook and really great to mix with a great top. I spear away from black, but navy blue top with white trousers would look good along with some nice elegant sandals.

Plain Chunky High Heeled Peep Toe Casual Date Sandals

These are gorgeous and again from Berrylook, and honestly blown away with their fashion and would love to make an order from them but their sizes looking at their store only start from size 5.

to go with the look I have decided that a Basket Tote bag would look great with this outfit and team it with other outfits. Even from your hotel to the beach, and then in winter used for going back to the office or work outdoors when not cold or inside a coffee shop

You could also have a shoulder basket bag or like a pink tote or shoulder bag.

Here is an example and like a bag I have from Amazon.com

So, find the fashion that works for you, but these items I would wear and great to mix with and last a lifetime.

Many thanks

Monday Look Book/The Rain Coat and Jackets

Yes it is raining cats and dogs today, so I thought I would pre-write new blogs for the week ahead. This is my Monday Look Book I like to do, and I work on over the weekend ready for Monday so thought I’d get on with it.

So, what type of Coats and Jackets could you wear for all year round?

I would often have a coat or a jacket bought for me as a Christmas Present or when it has been on sale.

These will start to coming on the racks by end of August and many retailers would have planned on new styles a year ahead, for them to be created on time.

I don’t tend to buy highend, and the stores I loved for coats and jackets, was Amazon, Debenhams or Dorothy Perkins.

This one is a nice coat and I did own a similar one some years ago and was very glam and kept me warm on Rainy days, but would wear something light underneath like in this photo and some white pumps or black trainers to give it a casual look.

Colorblock Eyelet Hollow Out Lace-Up Sneakers White US9.5 by chicme

These above are from Chic me. Yet did see some come up on New Look, Amazon and Next.

This is another jacket by Shein and I like it. Again I had a similar jacket some years back and was always drawing attention and some of my friends would ask where the jacket came from. It was when I was working in Camden, in London, and good as they a lightweight but with a fleece or a sweater underneath would be a good option for all year round.

I do like Double breasted coats and jackets. This is from EMP.co.uk and love this style. Great to wear with ballette pumps, witht he white pumps above and will never go out of fashion and they wash well.

I bought a doubled breasted coat from Amazon, and when I took it to the dry cleaners the buttons on it melted, and they didn’t say anything when I picked it up, and realised when I got home, that the buttons had gone.

I now always check to see if they are Washable in the Washing Machine.

So do shop around and set a budget of how much you are willing to spend and enjoy browsing and trying different styles to workout what is your style and will last for many seasons and years.

Thursday Fashion Look Book/Over The Shoulder Bags

Hello and welcome! This is my Fashion look book and today it s Shoulder bags and Rain Coats.

So each year, like to invest in Shoulder bags as I love them and great to keep stuff secure and not carry too much.

So this one is fro Amazon and type of one I like to purchase as it has different pockets to put personal items in like purse, keys and mobile, and if you take some lip gloss or balm, anti-bacterial hand sanitizer and a mini notepad.

This one is an everyday one and great for those quick trips to the shops and back and if worried about pick pockets, have the zip pockets face towards your body, or facing forward with the zips going along right to left when sealed.

This one is from Freemans and I do like bags that have colour and these ones are good because the zip is top of the bag with a extra strap over to keep it secure and again enough to hold all personal belongings.

The material of this bag when looking at it can wear over time, but if not taken out when raining it will last forever and never go out of style.

This is the type of one i am using at the moment and was from Amazon and I love it. It keeps a lot in it and had an adjustable strap which I always check on. I do have ones that were given to me as gifts and bought an extra bag like the one above as these will last for ages and for all year round.

I often will look in Charty shops on bags like the above and have purchased them because they are great to not having to carry so much out with you.

I am not often someone who buys a bag to match my clothes, but on what I need to take with me and how sturdy it it to hold the items I like to take out with me.

I do set a budget and don’t like to pay more than £24, but I would like to treat myself to a designer should bag as depending on brand can be worth the money depending the size and how compact it is.

Black Branded Nylon Crossbody Bag

Here is one by Ted Baker. I like to have bags that last and have a collection, and would like a wardrobe day full of bags that I love.

How one can dream, but for now I like the ones I have and longevity is important, along with price and style.

Many thanks for reading,

Monday Look Book/Pieces I Enjoy Wearing

This is a new blog post I put together at the weekend. Your feedback is welcomed and thank you for liking my blog posts so far. This is a Weekend Look Book and I am talking about Piece I enjoy wearing for all year round.

So the first piece is open shoulder and short sleeved tops with patterns, buttons or stripes.

Blue Spot Floral Sleeveless Tiered Blouse
This one is from Newlook

I do have plain pieces but mainly in vest tops and in colours that can be layered with patterned tops and in greys, navy blue, light pink and black ‘n’ white.

The one you see above is from New Look for £13.49 at the moment and in different sizes and this instantly grabbed my attention.

I have also a pair of cropped jeans bought from H&M for £19.99 and Denim is a collection I would like to make as I always have denim in my stash of clothes.

Blue Cropped 'Lift & Shape' Jenna Skinny Jeans
From New Look

Again these are from New Look and a store I visit regularly and great for little pieces that can be worn in the seasons and compliment all women wardrobes. These are priced at £22.99.

Animal print is a favourite piece and have had shoes, bags, dresses and tops that have animal print and always look for them.

Dress from Shein

Here is a dress from Shein and really good price at £8.49 and so great value and will last and can be worn all year with bare legs, Skin colour tights and woolley tights.

Then there is a baseball cap and wear all year and good to have a good stash and make sure they say “Machine Washable” and yes a staple piece for me.

From Amazon

This one is a great style and gonna add to my wishlists and to buy in the future. It is from Amazon priced at £9.99. I do like different styles and great for keeping hair clean and when you just want to put your hair into a pony tail it is convenient and still stylish.

Thursday Look Book/Collector Items

Hello and welcome! Today is it Thursday and time for another Look Book and this fashion is all about Collector Items. Items such as concert T-Shirts, Sport shirts and Fleeces and jumpers.

KISS Oversized Band Tee | Band tshirts, Rock t shirts, Oversized band tee

When it comes to fashion I like to invest in a concert t-shirt, especially going to one and save up so I can purchase memerabilia and be something you can wear forever.

With the T-shirt above I would wear a pair of Denim jeans, skirt or a pair of Denim Shorts.

81 Women's Rock Concert T-shirts ideas in 2021 | tour t shirts, concert tshirts, shirts

When it comes to washing them though make sure it doesn’t run or print fades during wash, and to prent this wash the T-Shirt inside out and be careful when Ironing as from passed the print has gone onto the ironing, and check labels for washing tips, on such items.

When it comes to jeans I tend to go for Bootcut but flared can also work when wearing a concert t-shirt and going to one. Always check the weather and if not a T-Shirt why not a hooded fleece instead.

Music Festival Sweatshirts & Hoodies | Redbubble

The other thing is shoes. For me it is a trainer, a pair of Boots or Flip flops. I avoid thin heals, because of getting them caught in grass and mud.

Then it is accessories like earrings and bracelets and glow sticks.

Fashion Stainless Steel Pendant Necklaces women men Pop Music Jewelry Concert Music Festival Hiphop Guitar Choker Necklace|Pendant Necklaces| - AliExpress

So if you are going to a concert this year then why not save and check out fashion from Music Festivals as they can be framed aswell and be good room decor to, in the colder months or in the Summer when the hoody is to hot to wear, but still getting some use out of them.

Leave suggestions below in the comments section.

Monday Fashion look book/Dresses from Shein

Hello and welcome! Thank you for the follow I received today and glad you are liking my blog, it really means the world to me and today it is my Monday Fashion look book.

So today I wore a dress as a change as I know it rained but it still humid and so made sure I dehaired my legs being a woman and want to share some dresses I like to wear, starting with the black dress which was the colour of mine today.

This one above is from Shein and would be great for evening weddings, an alternative bridesmaid dress and they used to say not to wear black but I have been to weddings and people do. You could add to it a gold belt to make it look different as the fear is one of the other guests wearing it, but can be worth the investment as great for the Festive season too.

I don’t wear off the shoulder a lot but now I have a few of these types of items I now do and I love dresses that can be for the beach aswell as wedding and parties.

This dress caught my eye as they can be lovely to wear in the summer and then with a blazer give it a different look with some think tights and pair of cow boy boots. In looking at it and your are having a smallish wedding at a budget could be worn by a bride with a hat to go with it.

I love colour and this one is one that I’d wear and because of the length and the pattern. Very me and all three I have chosen are from Shein and could wear the hat for the above white dress with this dress too, and worn everyday. If you work in an office and you want a dress is light and be stylish this would be it and again with black tights and a pair of cow boy boots, or ankle boots.

I do like the bag they have teamed it with and light brown boot would be something you could wear with skin coloured tights too.

The three pieces you have seen are a great capsule wardrobe items.

So where have you shopped for dresses and what are your favourite styles? You can leave a comment below.

#ThursdayFashionLookBook/😊Shaved legs/Women skirts

So in the summer I tend to wear dresses, leggins or shorts, and own at the moment two skirts. The one skirt I want to wear again is a denim skirt. It is an item I miss and always invest in.

The Denim skirt can be worn in all weathers as winter I wear with a pair of think black rights, skin colour tights or woolley tights.

I have a mauroon leather skirt, which I bought from New Look two years ago and was at the time looking for an outfit to wear to my sons 6th birthday party.

Amazon.com: Burgundy Leather Skirt

I used to be a girl who wore Denim with Denim but now I either like to wear Jeans, Jeggings, crop denim, dresses and a skirt.

When it comes to Leather again I would not wear a leather jacket perhap when going to a music festival but not in the day as such all of the time, I like a good T-Shirt with a leather skirt.

Spring Summer Women Skirts 2021 High Waist Korean Style Pleated Skirts for Girls Retro Punk Ladies Mini Plaid Lace Up Skirt 1215|Skirts| - AliExpress

I do wear a Tartan Skirt and have always like these type of clothes since a kid and mainly wear in the colder months but they can be worn in the summer. With a smart jacket or blazer these suit and in many different type of Tartan Material.

Skirts for Women | Mini, Midi & Knee Length Skirts | Boden UK

I love this style and I like the Maxi skirt and off the shoulder top. They can be mixed ‘n’ matched with a white plain skirt, white trousers or even a pencil skirt.

The skirt with a plain white off the should top and a orange colour top and worn in the winter with a pair of tights and brown boots with a womens blouse tucked in.

Women's Skirts | M&S

This one caught my eye and is from Marks & Spencers. I at one time loved M&S because they would do good bootleg trousers and have always been good when it comes to different styles of clothes.

I like Elasticated skirts, shorts, leggins and trousers as they do make clothes that don’t need to be taken up.

Many thanks for reading,

Monday Look Book/Heat Wave Fashion

Hello, Happy Monday! Do I enjoy Monday’s?

When it comes to fashion but if I can stay in and not get up so early I will.

I not lazy I just like to sit down most of the day.

Only joking I do like to walk and walk along with retail therapy.

So in a heat wave finding something cool and easy to wear I love vest tops and the good places to go to find a set is by checking in stores like Primark, Uniglo, New Look and H&M, and they will sell individual or as a set but do your maths. In H&M for example they will sell a set of two but then shopping around buying indivdually can workout to be cheaper.

Linen vest top - Light orange - Ladies | H&M GB

This is high end in terms of H&M, which this one is from priced at £9.99 but they do ones for about £5, but they are good quality and can last you many summers, so if you want to go high end, as their tops are good then it can be worth investing.

Here is one on New Look and I love patterned clothes like vest tops and wash well. I like them for their verstility as you can wear them all year round and layering for the colder period outdoors and so worth investing.

Shein has also become my favourite stores and I love these ribbed lace vest tops like this one in the picture. They great to dress up for a night out sitting in a pub garden.

This is priced at £5.99 and it is flattering to show a bit of cleavage especially if you are with a male or female that you are going out with and great item for a Date Night.

There is this top that caught my heart immediately and is £8 and so nice. TU Sainsbury’s has been excellent when it comes to fahion and bought a few things from there that I have enough but there is always something that catches my eyes.

VERO MODA Navy V-Neck Button-Through Vest Top

Here is another one from TU and is £20 so highend from TU but good style and is the right fabric for your style that will lasts for a long time then it is worth it and one tip# washing inside out and with dark colours at first, and if no colour runs then again good purchase.

Lets talk about shorts. I don’t tend buy loads but have some good pairs for the summer that can be worn for many summers to come, and many goals do wear tighs in the winter with them and Denim is the best for doing this but also skirt like look too.

Denim shorts - Dark grey - Ladies | H&M GB

These are from H&M and are £10 but worth it if they last and wash well.

Again wash with other darks before mixing them up in other coloured clothing when washing.

These are £4.80 from Boohoo.com another good online retailer and have ordered from in the passed and well made. Navy is a colour I have always worn being fair skinned and brunet and dark eyes.

So invest in good easy clothing and be stylish at the same time
