Beyonce House of CB Dress Dupe £13

Recently Beyonce rocked this House of CB Dress and since then I have been looking for a dupe, I popped into New Look recently and picked up this beauty. This dress is great for the upcoming party season, great for a dinner, the ruching will really hide a food belly. If you are expecting or have just given birth then its also really flattering.

Check out Beyonce in the dress here. and the New Look Dress here  for just £13.00

My Top Tip for Wedding Season 2018






















So...we are at that age where loads of our friends are getting married and wedding season seems never ending. In the UK the average cost of attending a wedding is £266, that's a lot of money especially if you are attending multiple weddings.

Wedding Season is always a tricky time for women, what to wear...what dress...what shoes?? Complimentary hair and make up. Am I overdressed or under dressed. Its a lot to wrap your head around.
To take the stress out of wedding shopping I like to shop for outfits in advance, I mean way in advance I know it may seem a little strange but really it works. I usually attend around 3 weddings every summer, but for a lot of people I know it can be so much more.

So to ease the expense and the stress, I buy outfits in the end of summer or Christmas sales. Summer styles and colours tend to repeat themselves every year, go for classic silhouettes and shades you naturally gravitate to. So you know you will still love the dress next year.
The party season November-December is a great time to buy an outfit for a wedding, it doesn't even have to be a dress, jumpsuits work well too.

The dress I'm wearing is from ASOS and its two years old, I bought in on sale for around £20. Bargain right, so all that was left for me to do was shop my wardrobe for a matching shoe and bag.


I have tried to find similar dresses on ASOS....let me know in the comments whats your top tip for wedding season.

The Denim Skirt- Wardrobe Stable



The denim skirt is a modern day, classic wardrobe stable for me.This denim skirt has been worn everywhere this summer, It was purchased at the end of last Summer from Primark for £3. Yep you read that correctly. You gotta love a Primarni bargain right. Denim skirts can take you from day to night in a minute and flatter the fuller figure and the petite too. Loads of celebrities have been rocking the look too..including Rihanna check out her denim on denim looks here and here.

When you’re thinking about what to wear with your denim skirt, you’ll realise you can create almost any look you like. 

Ways to style:
Silk/satin camisole  
Crop top
Ruffle sleeve top
Denim on Denim
T-Shirt
White Shirt

Shoes:
Lace up sandals
Trainers
Block Heels
Converse

Denim skirts can also be transitioned into Autumn and styled with suede / velvet jackets and midi boots.

Transitioning......

I'm not quite sure where to start this post but I just knew I needed to start blogging again. Over the past couple of months my life has gone through so much change and its been an uphill journey but I finally feel like I'm at the top of the hill and things can only get better. New Job, New Love and I literally feel like I'm starting a new life. In some aspects of my life, I'm happier than I have ever been and in some there is definitely room for improvement. What I do know is that I need to get back to chasing my dreams and being the business woman I was destined to be.


I miss interacting with you guys and I cant wait to be posting regularly again. I want to share more and open up more, I have always been scared to do that, but I have started living life differently and I'm all about doing things that enhance my happiness whether it scares me or not.

Life is too short..... so I vow to live intentionally rather than just existing.

Hi, to all my new followers and to my day ones thank you for sticking out this journey with me.
I know that this was a bit all over the place and I promise to expand on love, career and life in later posts.

I would love to know what kind of posts you guys would like to see. Leave a comment below to let me know.

Thanks for reading. Chan x

Happy New Year 2017


light photography photography light long exposure 2017 new year year number


Happy New Year,
I hope 2017 brings you love, laughter and success abundantly.

I'm not off to the best start as I'm sick in bed writing this post. I hate being sick. 

I'm looking forward to the new year, feeling rejuvenated and looking forward to all 2017 has to offer.

This year I plan to expand the blog, (hope you noticed the new look) start making You Tube videos and create a brand. It's going to be an amazing journey.

I really want this blog to be more of an interactive forum, I want to discuss topics that are close to my heart and that your average 20 something thinks about. Love, Travel. Finances. Inequality in the Beauty Industry. You Tube. Instagram. Body Image......and so much more.

Thanks for your support keep returning to the blog, share with your loved ones, and make 2017 the best year of your life so far.

Hugs and Kisses
Chantique
