A Final Week

Tee c/o Now I Style, Skirt - ebay, Shoes - ASOS


Totally hiding out in the library at the moment, so that's my reason for the lack of posts, comments etc. This is the type of thing I wear when I'm slouching around in the library eating junk food and attempting to recite 30 references. But on a more positive look on things, I officially finish university on Friday!! So my posts will be back to normal next week.

Good luck to everyone else doing exams and coursework etc!

Where to get a Smock Dress

Hello ladies
For those of you that have been following me for a little while you may know that I am quite the fan of smock, babydoll style dresses. I have been eyeing up a tonne online (with my non existent overflowing purse) and found lots of pretty ones. I know they are quite a popular style of dress at the moment so I thought I would do a little 'Where to get' style feature which I may start doing a little more often now my exams are nearly over with!


ASOS
1  -  2  -  3  -  4  -  5  -  6


Motel
1  -  2  -  3  -  4  -  5  -  6


Topshop

1  -  2  -  3  -  4  -  5  -  6

I think I may purchase number 6 from ASOS soon as a little end of exam treat. What do you girls think of these dresses, perfect for when you want to pig out aren't they!

Printed Shirt and a Jelly Bag

Jacket - Miss Selfridge, Jumper - Fashion Union, Shirt c/o French Connection, Leggings + Boots - H&M

 

Hello ladies (and possibly gents)
I wanted to share this beauty of a shirt from French Connection which was kindly sent to me by their PR company. I have always admired French Connection from afar with me being on a student budget, but I'm graduating this year so may be able to shop for more goodies like this!


My clear jelly style bag was a steal from one of those awful (yet brilliant at times) market style shops where everything is £5 and £10. Those style shops are pretty good for bodycon midi numbers and polo crops, but whilst browsing my sister spotted this for me for £10. I found a scratch on it and got it for £8 instead, it's worth pointing things like that out for a little discount :)

And on a final note, it would mean loads to me if you could take 2 minutes to nominate me in the Cosmo blog awards for 'Best Established Fashion Blog'. Of course only if you enjoy reading my blog, don't forget to nominate your other reads as there are lots of categories :)

Ways to Wear - Peplum

So on my last Ways to Wear somebody requested a ways to wear a peplum and this is my attempt. Sadly I don't own many peplum numbers so this was a little more difficult than my other posts! Hope you find this helpful :)


The Basic

This is probably the most basic way to wear a peplum top and is the style I see most often. Pair the peplum with a bodycon skirt to emphasis the teeny waist the peplum give you .


Mixing Prints and Texture

Opt for a printed peplum to add some personality to an outfit or to clash with other prints and textures to create something a little less formal.


Layer It Up


Add some more layers to the outfit to create a more casual look with a peplum top.

The Peplum Skirt

If the peplum top isn't for you a peplum on a skirt creates an interesting feature to a more basic skirt. Plus the frills hide any lumps and bumps or a food baby!


One other item that gives the peplum a little twist is the peplum belt, sadly I don't have one to style up but you can check these ones out from ASOS.

 Do you ladies enjoy a peplum? Also I'd love to get some more requests for a ways to wear, with my exams coming to an end this month I should have plenty of time to sort some posts out :) So comment below if you have something you want me to style in a few ways

Retro Print

Jacket - Miss Selfridge, Dress c/o She Likes, Shoes - ASOS

Hey ladies,
I hope you have all been enjoying the lovely bank holiday weather we have been having! I sadly have been cooped up in the library revising or napping due to being ill. Boohoo. I did get out for a cheeky cider Monday evening for an hour though.

I just wanted to share an item I was sent recently by She Likes. I'm quite the fan of the loose smock style dresses so I had to have this cutie! If you not a fan it would still be worth checking out She Likes for affordable crop tops, disco pants and denim goodness.

Right I had better get back to revision. Yawn
