Sophisticated Chic

Hello my friends! Hope you are all well and had a wonderful weekend! Mine was lovely, I spent time with old friends and with my awesome boyfriend. We took long walks, talked, laughed, drank yummy cocktails and even ate at the first raw food restaurant in my home town - was so happy and pleased about that! Of course, I forgot to take a picture of our raw 'sushi', I need to get used to being more social hehe!

Today we took a few pictures of my outfit - sweet, feminine and chic, a quite versatile look featuring a gorgeous ASOS dress which I accessorised with pointed flats, a superb colour block bag and a statement necklace. Here are the pics:

ASOS FF Competitions

I have great news for you lovelies -
new competitions have arrived on ASOS Fashion Finder; and they're awesome! Let's start off with...

Oasis Fashion Competition
Basically you have to create an outfit inspired by the S/S '13 Oasis collection. I'd describe it as modern feminine: a lot of floral prints, beautiful pastels, cute dresses, all with a modern twist. There are 3 prizes up for grabs: 1st place £250 to spend on Oasis, 2nd place £75 and 3rd place £30. Read more in the competition TandCs. This is an outfit I entered:

ShopStyle Festival Shopping Challenge

Today's post is a competition entry made possible by ShopStyle and the lovely Natasha (Girl in the Lens) who is judging it. The challenge is to create your ultimate festival outfit that costs no more than £200. If you'd like to enter follow this link for more details on how to do so - the prize is £1000 to spend on ShopStyle (I know, holy smokes!!). The timing is perfect actually as I wanted to write a festival inspired post!

I gave this a lot of thought and finally came to the conclusion that my ultimate festival outfit has got to be a 90's grunge inspired one. It's not only a really popular trend but a cool and easy-to-pull-off one. Plus I LOVE it!  

So Bright!

My outfit post today is bright and cheerful (unlike the weather *rooting for summer*). If you check out my Fashion Finder account you'll see that I love creating bold outfits - well I love to wear them as well! ^^ I'd wear pretty much anything and add a bit of my personal touch - neons, bold print combos, you name it! Here are the pics

Monday Fun

Now who said Mondays can't be fun?! OK, I'm trying to be optimistic but it's not exactly panning out at the moment - but at least the weather is finally looking better so I'll be able to shoot some photos, yay! Today's post is another outfit collage I created on ASOS Fashion Finder which was well received in the community + it was posted on the home page over the weekend *so proud* ^^ It's a pop-art inspired outfit, topped off with metallics and a hint of sports luxe.

Metallic Details

I wanted to do a more colourful and summery outfit for today but the weather is so gloomy that I had to comply. I wanted to style these gorgeous trousers, don't think you can tell but they have a metallic finish to them and the colour is actually a deep blue violet-..ish (ugh, I'm not good with colours!)
I had an obsession with trousers at the beginning of spring and bought a lot of pairs but these one fit me the best and they're the easiest to style. I'm having second thoughts about the shirt, it looks so baggy on me although it's supposed to be a tight fit. The shoes and clutch I both love + they were a steal really - I bought the clutch on sale, it was down to £8 from £30 whoop! The shoes were down to £20 something from £60 ^^ I believe they are still in stock!

Outfit Collage + Music Monday

I create outfits on Fashion Finder on almost a daily basis, have developed a routine in the morning - I wake up and before doing anything really I find myself on FF creating a set and catching up with my very talented friends. My favourite from last week is Power Chic:

Stripes and Pop!

Wow, finally, my first post! *oh the excitement* I decided starting this blog a couple of months ago and since then have been working on its title, concept, design, etc. I'm quite happy with the result but would greatly appreciate any suggestions and/or feedback from you guys! :)

 

So, since this is a blog about fashion it's only fair that my first post would be about just that. I wore this on a night out and ended up at the cinema (watched Star Trek - Into the Darkness and it was amazing!). It's a smart casual outfit, comfy yet stylish - I paired a oh-so-now monochrome stripe dress with midi heels, a simple black with gold details bag and finished the look with a statement necklace. I'm awfully sorry about my hair - I'm letting it grow for the first time and it's not too short, not too long so not quite sure what to do with it!
