* OOTW * #9

1. Rihanna for River Island // 2. Topshop // 3. Asos // 4. Topshop // 5. River Island

Hey lovelies!!

This week I've opted for the 'Double Denim' look simply because I want both these items. I return home on Friday and I cannot wait to go shopping to add these to my wardrobe, IF the Rihanna top EVER comes back in stock that is! Have any of you bought anything from the Rihanna range yet?

So these jeans have been flying all over the fashion blogosphere, and why wouldn't they be? They're amazing! They are the perfect cut for high wasted jeans and sooo 90's I love them. I have read many posts about them and apparently they fit like a dream so if you haven't already go buy them!!!

With the double denim going on I've kept this look pretty plain and simple, but each item has a little detail so it doesn't go unnoticed. What do you think? Would you wear this?

*Iridescent*

The iridescent trend is slowly creeping into our high street shops ready to peak as one of the biggest trends for 2013. With the likes of fashion designers such as Burberry, Jonathan Saunders and Talbot Runhof, out of many, introducing their designs in every fashion show this season, it's no surprise that this cool and unique trend is going to be dominating the fashion globe this year.

Burberry // Jonathan Saunders // Talbot Runhof

Iridescent means that the material appears to change colour as it shines in the light, like bubbles. It's mainly the metallic 'like' material shown above but there are also sequin materials, gorgeous jewelry and nail polish.

When I first saw this trend make an appearance I was like What? Seriously? but after seeing it appear on so many catwalks it is slowly growing on me. It's a simple way to add a bit of 'wow' to your outfit, but being such a bold statement piece if you do opt for this I'd keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the colours speak for themselves.

I've put together a few pieces to get you started. I have seen a lot more items in the shops but I've managed to find a few online, some are even in the sale so grab a bargain now and be ahead of the trend.

1. Asos // 2. Asos // 3. Asos // 4. Asos // 5. Asos // 6. Gosh (Holographic Hero) // 7. Asos // 8. Asos // 9. Asos // 10. H&M

Sorry they are all from Asos, but hey free delivery and student discount is a bonus :) I must admit I do love all of these items and could probably see myself wearing most of it, I've even gone ahead and purchased the shimmering disco pant type trousers (number 3.) as at £13 down from £35, even if they are a 'only wear once' item they are worth it. The Gosh nail polish is definitely next on my list it's just so pretttyyy!!

What do you think of the iridescent trend? Will you be rocking it this summer? I'd love to hear how you'd style it!

Hello everyone :)

Where has this week gone?? Is it just me or has this week gone fast for everyone? Sorry for the lack of posts but it literally feels like yesterday I did the last OOTW and here we are again :O

So I went to the mall one day this week and saw these amazing shorts in Zara and instantly thought 'holiday outfit'. I really love the checker board print, it's new, it's different and a great change from the usual black and white stripe. They actually don't picture well online but they're this amazing smooth, silk like material and their casual but trendy style makes them perfect for a holiday evening. I will definitely be purchasing these :)

I found two tops which I could see myself wearing these with, one more bold than the other but I just couldn't decide so let me know your opinion below :)

How gorgeous are all of these accessories?? The amazing chunky tassels on the sandals and the brightly coloured, jeweled bracelets!! Im so in love <3 Anyone feeling this love too??

Anyway enjoy your Saturday and I have a few posts for this week that I shall be working on today to make sure time doesn't slip by again.

Hello hello!

So this week has been really busy welcoming new Erasmus students to Zaragoza for the second semester. It's so much fun meeting new people from all over and either communicating with badly spoken Spanish or discovering they can speak English.

Anyway I have returned home for a week and I borrowed my boyfriends laptop to continue with my post of  outfit of the week but sorry in advance for the lack of other posts.

Lately I have been obsessed with these chunky statement necklaces and I just fell in love with this one at first sight but at £60 it will have on stay on my wishlist. 

I've noticed that this outfit is quite dark and gloomy :/ sorry about this maybe it's a result of the effect this British weather has on me. It's sooo depressing!

Anyway another love of mine lately is Mid's. I know they've been around for a while but I've just never fancied them but they have definitely grown on me lately and I can't wait to purchase one :)

I hope you like this outfit and enjoy your Saturday night what ever you may do!! I'm having a Chinese eek so excited.

*OOTW* #2

Hello Lovelies :)

So after last weeks success I've decided that this will be a regular Saturday style post. It's really fun creating outfits pretending like you own anything and everything from all shops. For some reason I still like to stay practical and choose items that can be mixed and matched and worn with other things during most weather situations. It's nice to know that you don't need to branch away from cheap high street stores to create cute outfits but maybe some weeks I'll mix it up a bit and throw in a dream outfit shall we call it. Anyway this week as you may have seen from my previous post I have been lusting over tea dresses. This one actually caught my eye first whilst browsing on New Look as its so simple and can be dressed up and dressed down and literally worn in any situation. Since then I started noticing them everywhere especially Topshop (you can see some of their collection here).

This outfit is very *matchy matchy* but I kinda like that about it. I feel it makes it stand out more. I've opted for a navy cardigan and navy socks in this case as it's still wintery outside but change those for a cream cardigan and white socks and your still good to go come rain or shine :)

I hope you like this outfit. Would any of you wear it? I'd love to hear your thoughts so leave a comment and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

*Bags*

Hello, How are you all?

So as the title suggests this post is about bags. With a new season approaching us I am constantly refreshing the New In pages on all clothing websites making sure I don't miss an item. It's becoming sort of an unhealthy addiction but oh well it's only for a few weeks. Anyone else do the same?

The things that are mostly catching my eyes at the moment are bags. Don't get me wrong the clothes are lovely but its too cold to wear the pretty spring clothes and I don't see the point in buying winter woolys as winter is almost ish over. Bags on the other hand are an all year needed accessory so something worth lusting over. There are so many I like at the moment it's hard to pick my favourites but I've managed to narrow it down to 10 (yes that's a lot less than what I like). So in no particular order here are my favs; 

1. I love both colours so much it was just too hard to choose.

Asos

2. The same thing happened again :/ oops.

Topshop

3.

*It's that time of year again*

Hi all, 

It's that time of year again... Christmas!!! I moan constantly about the winter because of the cold weather that makes me ill and you always have to cover up your outfit with a coat and winter woolies but there's no denying how magical this time of year is and how excited I get. This is the best time of year for me as my birthday is November so I have double the excitement :) and double the presents :D

I've been traipsing through all clothes websites with all this time on my hands for the perfect birthday dress, it's my 21st and my mother is throwing me a party :) Here are my top three:

1. Asos


this is in the sale at the moment for £20 so that's always a plus and I love the lace and ribbon detain which makes this dress special. Definitely my fav :)

2. Bershka

You can buy this online in both the uk and spain but its cheaper in spain at 36 euros which is a plus for me right now. I love the floor length especially as it is cold outside and the netting is all pleated which adds so much more detail to a simple dress.

3. Missguided

This is a little different to what I imagined my birthday dress to be like but there's something about this dress which I really love. The black contour lines would add curves to any shape (in the right places) and the lace detail is so pretty.

Which is your favorite? Which would you choose for you birthday? Or any other suggestions leave a comment :)
