Get Ready for the Summer/Dressing for a Pub Lunch

Hello, so I do like winter when it comes to layering up, yet today it was so good to be outside without a coat on and just been sitting out in the Sun now and I am so ready for the summer. The one thing on my agenda is a pub lunch and I did promise to do more try on video for some items I bought on Shien but this is on hold, as I have done a lot of videos and want you all as my viewers to catch up before I do any more.

However I will share the fashion I am going for this year, and tips on buying items for the summer. I am looking for items I can where, if I the music festivals will be on and I have gone with patterned and comfortable. I don’t over do it when it comes to buying shorts, but enough that will last me a few summers.

If you would like to see the haulI did showing the shorts I have bought this year then click here: White House and Shein Haul and was a sponsored video aswell as this post, and I have gone for colour, as i do have a pair of Denim shorts and a peachy orangy colour, from Primark, and so I wanted some with a bit of extra colour and can be worn on Holiday, going to a pub near the river and for a music festival.

If you aren’t into colour and want plain Shein do a whole range of different styles and types, that I have downloaded their APP To find more goodies, but I do limit my spend and i do get credit which helps, along with commission being a referal, to their site.

I don’t go with any retailer, but ones I know are good and easy to order, when I want and how I want.

The other item isn the TEE (T-Shirt), and I have to invest in some good quality shirts. I don’t go for plain and like a bit of charactor, and being a music lover, when I do attend the music festivals, I will be working on (if they go ahead) be wearing a concert T-Shirt, as they are collectors items.

I like this look it for me is a go to look and great with a ankle bracelet and a nice pair of sandals or flip flops.

For me in the summer its easy, comfortable and breathable clothing that still gives you a sense of style and dance the night away when at a Summer Festival, of any kind, and can be great for at home BBQ’s and for being out listening to outdoor bands, in many pubs, if any are going to be doing this, this year, and an T-Shirt is always a item that never goes out of fashion and can be worn all year round.

When it comes to the summer I also like a nice long summer skirt and I hope to be reunited soon with my clothes that came from Epsom to hopefully a new home as I have a long pink pattern skirt which I bought when I went on an Iberia cruise and you can’t fault these and are a great item to have.

This is one from Shien and they have a great range of summer sandals too which compliment many summer shorts and skirts and so are worth checking out. I am also wanting to look in stores again, like H&M as I do like the deals they have on vest tops, and so like to have a couple more of these cause again they are great for all year round especially during the warmer months just as they are. There are bralet one available, and to add in the winter under a shirt and a jumper as an extra layer and not needing a bra included.

Many thanks for reading,

Fashion for the weekend

Hello! I have written a blog post on my site https://thestylishmamma.blogspot.com and about What I like to wear at the weekend. The post is due to go live today at 9am, and I like to have clothe that I don’t think about, but still look like i made some effort.

When it comes to the weekend, is “Am I going to stay in all day?” or “Will I go out?” and what to wear if I do.

This buttoned front tops from Amazon & they do so many colours and styles. Post Sponsored by Amazon, Shein & Wish!

I love these tops on Amazon and so easy to wear and wash well. They are in expensive and now I have been spending days indoors I can wear these tops with a pair of Denim shorts, a pair of black leggins, Trousers and great range.

I discovered these tops, on amazon last year and they are my favourite. Then I also discovered shein, and they have a massive range of fashion items that I have never seen before and is a favourite APP on my phone. I did a Unboxing/Haul video a few days ago, and will be doing a try on vid or videos this week to show the items on.

Here is a example of a look I like and of their fashion, effortless but chic too.

So I am a Jeans and Leggins girl, and looking to buy a new pair of jeans as I only have the one black pair, but I like to have blue, either a trouser or as Jeggins.

With jeans you can style them to look sassy and elegant, aswell as weekend day time item with a football shirt or a fleece.

Wish Fashion/Musthave APP

Another discovery last year. The Shopping APP Wish. It is addictive and I have items in my basket not yet bought but going to at some point. They do home decor to fashion and its great to find different footwear, jewellery, to stationary to tracksuits and glam wear.

I don’t go out now so it is lounge wear for now, but will be using when I put my outfits together when the events in the summer come up, and it has made my love for clothes, bags and other items, more excited than ever.

So, Bank Holiday and I am going to film a shop with me tomorrow and have a Happy May Day Peeps.

Thanks for reading,

Day 4/ Four different looks in 4 days/Trying out another eyeshadow

Hello! Here is my last video of a series of videos I did this week of four different looks in four days and I tried out a new eyeshadow pencil and really loved yesterdays look.

I did really enjoy making these series of videos and would do this again and in fact I am. I am going to do “What I like to wear at the weekend” as I tend to dress differently, and so I will be talking about the weekend.

For me it is about easy wearing with a sense of style too.

Many thanks,

Day 3/4 Different Looks in 4 days/Casual wear/using a new eyeshadow Pencil

Hello! So if you haven’t been following me, I have done a series of videos, showing 4 different looks, fashion, make up and Jewellery in 4 days, and today it was Day 3. I thought I’d have another casual look, wearing denim shirt dress, with a striped vest top and a pair of black leggins, wearing my DMS and this video includes a GRWM sequence and tried out a new Eye Shadow Pencil.

Here is the video:

I do like to mix glam with casual, as the eyeshadow pencils I show in this vid are ones I will be wearing when i do my music concerts and festivals, and wanted to try one out.

So I hope you enjoy and Look 4 will be up tomorrow at some time.

Many thanks,

Working From Home Fashion Look Book

Hello! As promised I have a video to share, which is about 5 Advantages of working from home. It does have its perks and when doing this video it stemmed from an idea of doing Working from home fashion look book so here goes.

ANBIWANGLUO Womens Denim Skinny Ripped Slim Jeans, Embroidered Flower Small Feet Elastic Trousers Size S-XXXL

I found this on Amazon, and these are good for working from home, they are interesting and stylish and with a white shirt or black, or with a pink shirt it could be modern mum, with a sense of glam and cas look.

This T-Shirt is from an Etsy store and I have added to my favourites list, and would be pefect for those jeans and then with a blazer and a pair of heals, here is a full look book for women who work from home:

I like to wear smart but casual fashion and these looks can be changed for the winter, but can be worn all year round.

Many thanks,

Look Day 2/Wednesday/Makeup/BB&CC withPrimer

Hello and welcome! So if you haven’t seen my blog I wrote yesterday 4 Different look in 4 days and today is day 2. It was a casual day so I just had a pair of cycling shorts and a top I love but not worn it for a while, and I didn’t need to change in the end, and having put on Primer with CC and BB cream, I don’t think made a different but looking in the mirror my make up was still on but my eye shadow hasn’t. So to use my usual Eyeshadow Palettes I am going to find a good Primer for the eyes, as it has stayed on my face.

Here is the video of today, to show my entire look:

The Sweater I showed at the end of the video I didn’t wear in the end, or changed into leggings and so may wear these tomorrow.

I am going to put together a working from home look book, with a video too, along with my look of the day I will put together for Four Different looks in four days, day 3.

Many thanks for your support,

Four Different Looks In Four Days

Hello, so as of yesterday I am doing 4 different looks, so make up, fashion, Jewellery and accessories (footwear and hairband or cap) in 4 days.

So here is my first video and look I did yesterday and there will be more following, this week.

I am now wearing mainly flip flops and I will have some hauls coming up, and I have been looking on Etsy too and I some items on my shop on Etsy too see link here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CarriesNetwork

There will be more added soon. I have items chosen on Boohoo.com and have seen more online stores I’d like to try. I have spells where I want to buy loads of clothes and accessories and then it dies of death and then don’t spend a dime.

If it is a playsuit then I will only have one or two, but not loads unless I see more I’d like to wear, but I don’t like too many of the same item. I have been wearing my black trousers which I wear a lot of, then put back in wardrobe to where other trousers or bottoms.

I have only one pair or Denim shorts and one pair of woollen shorts. I have ordered another two pairs of shorts from Shein, so I will show these once received and I have bought some more bits of make up, and I am so ready to dye my hair and keeping it long and dying it to a red colour.

So, more videos and blogs to come and I will also be adding them to my other site: https://mystylewayofliving.blogspot.com/

It is about dressing what you love in your wardrobe and building it so I don’t get bored and I can mix and match, change my make up, and enjoying life with or some days without make up.

Many thanks for reading,

Thank you blog

Thank you so much, today has been mixed but seeing that I have had 1K views on this site could not have come at a better time. Thank you so much. I honestly do not expect it as face it we are often busy even with Boris putting his feet up because of COVID, with running a work life with often parenthood, we don’t always get time to read a blog post or anything in that matter and here is a video of me saying thank you on there too.

I will be sharing more on this site, as I am sharing 4 different looks in 4 days so I will be sharing this on this site too, aswell as one of my google blog sites too: https://thestylishmamma.blogspot.com/

Saturday Weekend Post/Includes vid/dressing for work

Hello, so i am going to add the Weekend chat video I filmed as part of my Life coaching course i am doing, called Project 2021, see site https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com

When it comes to dressing for work, depending on what it is, I go buy what is easy to put on that doesn’t need to be dry cleaned, can I get it in sale and will it last me for several seasons. Basically longevity!

I have worked in Contact Centers when monday to thursday we would have to be in professional office type clothing, but be able to dress down on Fridays and working at the weekend.

Yet when it comes to the Spring and Summer, you can get very hot in certain office attire.

Classic Lion Button Blazer - Office Work Blazer

So I love a blazer and found this on a new online shop I have just found called https://ultamodan.com/which I am going to try out. I have had many different styles and colours, because they are great to wear without needing to layer up, and make any outfit look smart.

The office dress! I used on a Sunday go to Debenhams in Wimbledon where they would have a sale on many office dresses, cause it would be stock that hadn’t sold that week and would be on sale, to make space for new items to come in, the following Monday.

This one here is on BOOHOO who do some good dresses, and always seem to have a sale. The dresses I’d buy from Debenhams would be ones from the Wallis section of the store and they latest me a long time and I could then after work put on flips flops and take my work shoes off, and still look smart and professional. Now I work from home I don’t really need this type of dress, but if working in an office again I would.

Fashion Thirsty Women's Flat Shoes Casual Office Work School Tassel Brogue: Amazon.co.uk: Shoes & Bags

The office shoe! No there are many styles I like, but this one above is a classic style. I have owned shoes like this in different colours, flat or with a more of a higher heel. I would change my shoes from work to a sandal or a flip flop, but these shoes can be worn summer or winter, and still look Stylish even with a pair of leggins.

The one you see above is on amazon.com and is my main site I always order from.

The Skirt! A must for me when working in a professional environment and had may different styles either in black, patterned or in a grey colour.

Does you wardrobe have to be in dark colours?

No, not neccessarily! I have wanted different colours red, pink (usually patterned) and either Straight cut or pencil.

Adding a bit of colour can be a nice to stand out, especially if you are looking to take on a new position and been promoted and it makes a change from wearing mainly dark colours, that we can kind of associate office clothes to be.

Found this skirt in picture from a blog site called: https://fashion2do.wordpress.com/2016/01/15/best-outfitsstyle-for-30-year-olds-getting-there-quickly-kim-kardashian-olivia-pope-sheath-dress-business-casual-office-work-fashion/

White shirt, leather skirt and orange blazer look to the office

The Bag! So I have had many styles and I love a good bag, as when I worked and would travel to work, I would make sure it was big enough for my Diary, a book as i liked to read when travelling to work sometimes, any make up, my phone, purse and keys.

There are so many options now, but I love amazons bag collections and bought many last year. I also like to check out the bags in stores like, Primark, Very and TK Maxx.

I am someone who likes collectables when it comes to dressing for work, and I now work a lot at home, but once i start to do, Radio, TV, shows and podcasts etc, I will be wearing clothes for those, which will be far from working in an office.

So many thanks for reading, have a good rest of the Saturday and a good weekend,

Fashion Shopping Ideas Do we do it backwards?

Hello and welcome! When it comes to fashion shopping do we do it backwards? Well I know I have, where I have bought something that doesn’t go with anything in my wardrobe at all, and then I have had to then buy an item that does.

Now I buy items by going through the items I have that I can add to it, and as i buy new items I will let items I haven’t worn or go through things I could wear that i haven’t, but with every new item, an item is either recycled, donated or sold online.

8,701 Clothes Rail Photos and Premium High Res Pictures - Getty Images

I will often as part of a Seasonal Clean up I like to do, make my closet priority to go through items I have worn a lot, items I like to wear as a change and items I yet still to wear and take it out to remind me to wear it.

When I move into my new home I will be having a rail where I will put items and outfits to be worn, and then have a system where I mix my outfits up, and go through bags, shoes and accesseries.

I will be choosing outfits that i want to share in my regular Look Book I like to do and my GRWM Videos and outfits of the day.

When it comes to buying I will often have a lot of items in a basket, but no to buy but potentially and then leave it and come back to it, to see if still want those items.

Fashion has to be comfortable but stylish and shows me as a person and who I am.

So when shopping, go through pieces you’d like to add and spend time sorting through your closet to get the most out of it.

Many thanks for reading,
