MIXING THE METALS

Sunday, 29 March 2015


Ask me a few years ago, and I would have claimed rose gold to be my favourite type of jewellery. I then moved onto gold, then more recently silver, then onto both gold and silver. What? Mixing metals has been a new thing for me and I actually have been enjoying it. I know a lot of people hate the clash between gold and silver but I really like the contrast. 

What got me into this is the larger necklace from Primark. It cost a mere £1.50, so isn't the best quality but the concept is what I love. The gold 'v' is about as statement as you will see from me when it comes to jewellery, but it's pretty thin and dainty, and what I personally like is the thin contrasting silver chain. In terms of necklaces I also have some more subtle options, and I have a selection of gold ones from Forever 21 that I sometimes wear at once, or wear one with this silver knot necklace from H&M. 

In terms of rings, I have quite the collection, as I tend to go a little bit mad in the sale section of H&M, and pick up a good four packs at a time - especially when my older ones are looking a little worse for wear (I don't have the money to invest in pricey rings). I like either really thick, bold rings or very thin dainty ones, and at the moment I have a good mix of the two, in gold and silver, both midi and regular in size. I love wearing rings, because I have quite short stubby fingers almost and I really dislike my bare hands, however when I wear lots of rings they look far more elegant. 

Do you love or hate the mixed metal look?

SIMPLE BASICS, STATEMENT SHIRT

Sunday, 20 July 2014

 OVERSIZED SHIRT: PRIMARK £12
SHORTS: H&M £5 (SALE)
VEST TOP: PRIMARK £2
SHOES: NEW LOOK £19.99
WATCH: JULES AND JAMES
SUNGLASSES: PRIMARK £1

I have wanted a kimono for a long time now but since I have been seeing a lot of people wearing them around now I thought I would leave it for a while until I saw a really high fashion looking one. That was until I spotted this oversized shirt in Primark that I thought paired with jeans and a black crop top or as pictured above. I rolled the sleeves up to make it look less like a shirt and more like a layering item.

I genuinely love this shirt and looks like it is worth so much more than I payed and I think styled right you would never guess that it was a Primark purchase. This could be love... and a new wardrobe essential.

OOTD #1 Simple but Statement

Thursday, 7 March 2013

Hi everyone! Today I will be sharing an outifit with you all that I thought was so simple to create but also so statement. The monochrome cardigain with the colour everthing else was stunning and I thought I would have to show you. It's a little picture heavy, but you shouldn't mind as Megan's photography skills are pretty top-top!
The oufit we put together.
So, the cream marl/speckle t-shirt was from Tesco, for £6, which isnt bad at all! The jeans are the Primark £7 jeans, and I absolutely love them and wear them quite a lot! The cardigain is also from primark (belonging to megan), and was £8 I believe.
Necklace; Primark £1 in the sale, £2 originally I believe.
It was actually raining when we took these pictures, but we thought that we would go for it anyway, and who doesn't love seeing a bit of british weather in the back of their fashion pictures?! Well, probably quite a few people actually...haha.

Rather dirty looking navy shoes; Primark £7
One more picture of the outfit together.
So, how did you like reading my first OOTD post? Did you enjoy it and would you like to see more? Let me know on the comments!
I'm looking for some subtle monochrome pieces for my wardrobe at the moment, and some statement necklaces, suggestions?
Thanks for reading!
