Inner Rock Star!

So today I decided to channel my inner rock star...

I have been searching for ages for the perfect top to cover my extremely cool tie-dye leggings (I'm one of those people that can't have my bum showing whilst wearing leggings, not even if I'm 100% sure they aren't see through). I stumbled across this gem of a piece in Topshop, the top is quirky enough (with the cut out detail) to compliment my leggings but also simple enough not to 'out do' them.

I paired the outfit with my favourite boots of the moment from Office, they have literally not left my feet since buying them last weekend (comfy is an understatement!). And for accessories I decided to wear my chunky silver necklace and bracelet, as well as another cool new ring from my online store kilajewel.com.

Do you guys ever feel the urge to channel your inner rock star? (Or maybe it's just me and I'm slightly weird :S)

Slouchy Tuesday

So we all know the feeling, it's cold, wet and miserable and to be quick frank you really can't be arsed making much of an effort with your wardrobe choices. Well that was me this morning! However, instead of slipping on a very boring jumper I was saved from going to fashion hell by the magical item known as a 't-shirt dress'. I'm guessing most of you were expecting something a bit more exciting, however, I do believe that t-shirt dresses are amazing. They are so comfy and yet still look ultra cool.

This particular t-shirt dress was from Urban Outfitters and it has been sitting in my wardrobe (unworn) for over a year. Well not anymore. It is perfect with a pair of thick tights, boots and a nice chunky scarf, to be honest I would sleep in it if I could, I just can't believe it has taken me this long to wear it!

Are any of you a fan of t-shirt dress? If not what do you like to wear on those 'I really can't be arsed' days?

P.S. I apologise for the poor quality of the photos, I hate having to blog at uni as the lighting is so poor in our flat. Hopefully it stops raining soon so I can go outside.

KilaJewel Top Picks!

Just a quickie to let you all in on the 'Top Picks' at KilaJewel.

As a fellow fashionista I understand that winter can be a challenging time in terms of outfit choices. It's always hard to show your individualism and quirkiness whilst layering yourself with coats and scarfs etc...that's why I believe now is the perfect time to be jazzing up our winter wardrobe with a little bit of bling. How about showing off your unique sense of style through your jewellery choices? Just because we have to cover our outfit with a coat doesn't mean we can't show off some rocking arm and hand candy...am I right or am I right?

So check out these great picks from kilajewel.com

Style Birmingham: Press Event Fashion Show

Hey everyone...

This weekend gone I got to attend the Style Birmingham Fashion Show thanks to my boyfriends sister. It was incredible! I got to see various retail brands key pieces from their A/W 12 collections while at the same time sipping on some Harvey Nichols champagne (not a bad life really). The fashion show was hosted by Martine McCutcheon and it featured appearances from  celebrity stylist Bradley Taylor and Olympic gold medalist Greg Rutherford who strutted his stuff for the Harvey Nichols collection.

The scenes of the fashion show included:

Hide and Chic (Harvey Nichols)

 Geo-Graphic, Country Days and City Nights (House of Fraser)

Very Berry, Heritage (M&S)

Drama & Decadence (The Mailbox)

 Japanese Oriental Florals (Bullring)

Futuristic Glamour (Selfridges) - My personal favourite

Some of the key looks I took away from the show included mixing geometric patterns, faux fur jackets and winter florals. All of which I  am a massive fan of, so I am definitely looking forward to forming my winter wardrobe.

Here are a few pictures from the event...

The last picture is of my Mum and Me before the event (all glammed up) and I apologise for my freaky eyes, the lighting in the hotel wasn't ideal.

What are your favourite key pieces for the summer?
