How To Style This Seasons Statement Gillet!

Gilet's....... some people love them and some people hate them, I'm not sure which category you fall into, but they get a thumbs up from me.

They are super easy easy to style, and come in a wide rage of colours, textures and price ranges. This season is of course all about Faux fur and Shearling designs....I'm loving these two styles click here and here.


How To Style:

Wear over dresses and style with Over the Knee Boots

Button up crisp white shirt and skinny jeans

Polo necks and mini skirts, ankle boots or Over the Knee Bots
















Gillets can sometimes add weight to you and make you look chunkier that you are, after seeing these pictures I realised that I should have added a belt to cinch in my waist and create some curves. So if  wearing a gillet dont forget to consider adding a belt.

Gilet: Matalan (last season) Similar here £35, here £30,
                                              here £35 and here £22
Dress: Boohoo available here
Heels: River Island (last season) Similar here
Lips: NYX Soft Matt Lip Cream- Dubai available here

The Look for Less: DSquared2 Rihanna Dupe


You know me by now guys I have eyes for designer shoes but my bank balance has other ideas. It amazes me how an item can look more attractive to us because it has a designers name attached. If the same shoe was in Primark (there is nothing wrong with Primark shoes, I have several) for £13 would we still find it attractive. I think not.

Rihanna is one of my style inspirations. Her style is fierce, flawless and edgy. She doesnt play by any fashion rules, whenever I see her wearing something I am always wondering If I can pull it off. I'm not just talking about fashion, remember that short cut (I almost cut my hair) and makeup looks too.

 Recently the Bajan Bombshell stepped out at the Dior SS17 show in Dsquared2 'RiRi' Heels (pink) click here to check them out. They are stunning. Pink satin with leather laces what more could a girl ask for. I havent been able to find a dupe yet in the pink but I will update this blog post as soon as I do.

I have found them in silver and they are stunning. The DSquared 'Riri' retail for £730.00. That is alot of money, so if like me, that price tag is way beyond your shoe budget I have managed to find dupes at Misguided for £35.00. 

DSquared2






Check out the Missguided heels here .They are almost a perfect dupe except for the DSquared Logo of course.

* I think these shoes should come with a bit of a disclaimer, they are not for the faint hearted and are      110mm. So they are perhaps more sit down/dinner shoes

.* Missguided always have a ton of voucher codes so you could get them for even less. So sign up to       the newsletter or keep any eye on their Twitter and Instagram for regular updates.

Thanks for Reading.x

The £13 Forever 21 Dress That Will Make You Feel Like A Queen



Have you ever found a dress that makes you feel like you are Beyonce, will this dress right here does that and more for me and guess how much it costs yes £13.00. That's right. I picked up this dress at Forever 21 last year and luckily its back again this autumn winter season. The wrap style dress is flattering, comfortable it hugs in all the right places and skims over all the bits you want smooth and covered. The quality of the material is surprising considering the price. 
Its a must have.

Style this dress with heels like I did, strappy gladiators or with trainers/sneakers and leather jacket for a more causal look.

Don't sleep on Forever 21 this season, I am really impressed with their Autumn Winter Collection.  But back to the dress, the Berry would look gorgeous on olive/dark skin with a matching berry lip. 

The dress is available in Taupe, Dark Green, Rust and Berry, 







    
     

                              

                                                   



Grab it whilst you can because this beauty will sell out.


 Happy Shopping.
