Friday Look Book this week/Looking more Summer fashion for all year round & Autumn 2021 blogs to come

Hello! So this is a Friday look book this week and showing items for Summer that can still be worn all year round and before Autumn 2021, arrives as it is getting nearer and at the moment as I type this blog up, wearing a sweater, Pjama bottoms and a pair of white socks, with a vest top underneath.

I uploaded a video I did of What I like to wear in the week and will be doing these videos each week. I like doing these videos as it helps me sort my wardrobe out.

I would say to keep doing that too, and rotate clothes so you get the most out of your clothes.

I looked on Shein today and came across this jacket, which for me looks like a must have. It is priced at £20.95, obviously the price can change, so if changed then check with the retailer for this item.

It instantly caught my eye as I like these types of jackets. They are snug and good for when the evenings start to get colder, but an item you can tie around your waist, and definitley and item, that will last a lifetime.

Zip Up Drawstring Hooded Corduroy Jacket

I love these tops great for Summer to then wear in Autumn and teamed with a nice white cardigan or trousers or even jeans.

Allover Floral Print Notched Neck Blouse

It is for a good price of £4.99, that is why I love Shein for their tops and really love the styles they have, so eyecatching and good to wear.

I love this, it is a black shirt dress under £10 and will be great for the change of weather and to wear whilst we see the last bits of the summer, and with a jacket or a coat very versitile.

Half Button Belted Shirt Dress

Love these type of trainers and have other icecream colours available and for a good price of £14.49, and great to make clothes casual but feminine still.

Cuccoo 0 Effort Chunky Sneakers

I live in these shoes and definitely my style, and these are from Shein also, and they are a brilliant retail store and hooked.

So I hope you like these items and more blogs to come.

Many thanks for reading,

Monday Look Book/Fashion for the Autumn from the summer

Hello and I hope you are enjoying what we can call a summer, not the best one but soon sadly it is going to be Autumn and this look book is on fashion for the Autumn from the summer 2021.

Floral Print Casual Long-sleeved Blouse

Shirts are brilliant for the summer and autumn as you can tie bottom to make it look like a cropped shirt and then worn with a jumper or cardigan over the top, for when you need an extra layer or a vest top underneath, with like this picture jeans and a lovely smart jacket or with black trousers with a jean jacket.

This is my kind of style and I have some boots for the autumn and I am looking forward in wearing them you can wear any kind, knee high, ankle or ballet or smart office type of shoe.

This one is from Berrylook.com.

Flat pointed toe shoes

Here is a jacket from Shein UK and they have a massive range of fashion and I discovered this store before last Christmas and love their fashion.

SHEIN Waterfall Collar Asymmetrical Hem Jacket

The smart jacket would be stylish for meeting clients or friends and lunch meetings.

Good to dress with some jewellery.

There will be more of these blogs coming and if you want to see my new fashion video then click here: Typical London Gal

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.

So what clothes do you see as your favourite pieces? You can comment below.

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.
