MONO-MONO
13.5.14
Received some gorgeous deliveries this week from upcoming fashion brand IWAI (www.iwiafashion.com).
One of the dresses I received was the gorgeous bodycon Monochrome Contrast Keyhole Dress (£28.00) from www.iwiafashion.com.
This bodycon monochrome number is perfect for any night out or to complete the perfect black and white outfit. The dress fits like a glove, perfect lightweight material with the unusual keyhole cutout, and unusual vertical colour blocking through the dress just makes it such a flattering and eye catching outfit.
The keyhole cutout is perfect to add another statement to the outfit by creating a eye view for a gorgeous necklace, I didn't want to add a large statement necklace to this outfit as I didn't want to attract the attention away from the dress.
I recently received some gorgeous jewellery from Euphoria Creations and I decided to style this look with their stunning silver Double Point Tourmalated Quartz Necklace (£8.50) which is the perfect size and style off jewellery accessory to add to this outfit.
I also received their gorgeous silver Ohm Earrings (£4.00) too this outfit aswell which are just stunning but not over the top in size, so doesn't create to many dimentions to the outfit.
I style my Contrast Keyhole Dress with my gorgeous Monochrome Court Ankle Strap Heels from Primark (£12.00), with the must have 'Stressed but Well Dressed' Zara Clutch (£19.99), and my Collection 2000 Black lipstick.
I wanted to keep this outfit simply black and white and I wanted to stay true to the colour blocking in the dress, and make the IWIA dress the focal point of the outfit.
However you could easily add a colour pop shoe and clutch, with a matching lipstick to this outfit to add colour too.
I think every girl should have a long sleeved bodycon in their wardrobe incase of emergency, and having this unusual and stunning LBD in your wardrobe make such a statement and first impression, with it's lovely stretchy and shiny material at £28.00 is a no brainer.

MY MISSY EMPIRE
12.5.14
Received another absolutely stunning parcel this week!
From upcoming clothing brand Missy Empire (www.missyempire.com) their gorgeous Kelly White Lace Panel Halter Neck Playsuit (£16.99), identical to the one seen on TOWIE'S Lucy Mecklenburgh.
(20% OFF Missy Empire discount code bellow)
Missy Empire's Kelly playsuit is absolutely gorgeous as well as many of their other items on their new website. The Kelly is the most amazing light weight and stretchy material and very figure flattering. I love the lace panelling it breaks the white colour block up and creates a very flattering middle panel making the more slimmer, flattering illusion.
I love this playsuit and how it can be used as a formal or casually outfit. Which is always a plus if you can dress up, or dress down an outfit to be used to go to the shops or for a night out, or a really formal occasion like a summer wedding.
I styled my Kelly playsuit with my favourite waist gold leopard belt that I picked up from a charity shop for £1.50 (However you can get very similar ones from Topshop, ASOS and New Look). I love adding a belt to an outfit as I'm only 5'4 and have a very boyish figure so I like to emphasise my waist to elongate my body and break up the outfit into a top and bottom half to make my legs seem longer.
I also styled this look with my gorgeous new Pink Suede Prism Block Heels from New Look (£22.99) that are an absolute must have, with a gorgeous prism block chunky heel. I also have this pair in a black, which are currently in the New Look sale for £12.00!
For the accessories in this look, I used my gorgeous Vivienne Westwood bag (£265.00) which is my absolute favourite accessory which I think looks great against the black panelling.
As well as another gorgeous new delivery from Euphoria Creations (www.euphoriacreations.bigcartel.com), my gorgeous Ohm earrings (£4.00).
(Blog post to follow with Euphoria Creations 10% OFF discount code)
I'm in love with this playsuit, and cannot wait to wear it on an evening out, to one of the many weddings I have to attend this year, so make sure you check out Missy Empire and their great range of items, at such affordable prices!
Don't forget, as always your exclusive discount code!

Last night I went to the cinema, (yet again) and had to get ready in 10 minites. Every girls worst nightmare.
Not only getting ready in that time, but choosing an outfit in that time too. PANIC.
I threw on what was first noticeable in the wardrobe and actually was so please with the unplanned, unorganised chosen outfit.
Consisting of H&M Charcoal Leather Jacket (Sale £15.00), TK Maxx Sheer White Petal Hem Cami (£7.99), Abercrombie and Fitch Customised Ankle Gazer Jeans (£79.00), New Look Wedge Strap Point Heels (Sale £8.00), Vivienne Westwood Handbag (£265.00), Mango Sunglasses (£16.99), Adorn Accessories Madame Meadow Necklace (£14.00) (adorn-accessories.co.uk DISCOUNT CODE bellow.
I was so pleased with the simplicity of this outfit but with simply accessories with Adorn Accessories Madame Meadow Necklace, my precious Vivienne Westwood bag, and a little statement heel taking it away from totally casual, but not OTT.
This outfit is full of bargains from my £15.00 (SALE) H&M Leather Jacket, £7.99 TK Maxx Sheer Cami, £8.00 (SALE) New Look Strappy Wedge Heels.

FITNESS FASH
9.5.14
I've found my new favourite casual comfort outfit.
Find myself always looking for that lightweight, easy but stylish, comfy and fashion forward outfit.
Routing around in my wardrobe last night as us girls regularly find us doing, I got out a few of my new purchases.
H&M Charcoal Leather Jacket (Sale £15.00), Primark Boyfriend Fit Grey Tshirt (£4.00), H&M Drop Crotch Baggy Palm Print Skinny Joggers (£7.99), Nike Roshe Run ( From JD £40.00), Zara 'Stressed but Well Dressed' Clutch (£19.99), Primark Pug iPhone 5S Case (£3.00), Primark Pop Art Self Adhesive Nails (£1.00) and Adorn Accessories Madame Meadow Necklace (£14.00)
(Adorn Accoesires DISCOUNT CODE bellow)
I adore this casual, easy look. With the extremely on trend H&M Palm Print Baggy Skinny Joggers, and at an absolutely bargain are a must have at £7.99.
My other favourite bargains in this look are the H&M Charcoal Leather Jacket in their current sale at £15.00, from £29.99, and the Nike Rochse Run's at JD's Junior section for £40.00 instead of the adult price of £70.00, are a no brainer!
I love dressing a casual look up with accessories and in this case are 3 F A B ones.
Adorn Accessories' Madame Meadow Necklace (£14.00) with it's yellow tones bland silver sparkle is just the perfect necklace to wear with a monochrome outfit to subtlely add colour with a statement that's not too OTT.
Zara's must have bloggers favourite 'Stressed but Well Dressed' clutch (£19.99) is a fabulous accessory with it's 3D raised writing and such a lovely material. It brings this outfit together, bringing the whites tones from the Nike Roshe Run's and the white colouring in the palm print pants together.
My Primark Pug iPhone 5/5S case (£3.00) is my favourite phone case to date. At such a bargain for £3.00 and actually fits snug unlike the majority of silicone iPhone case. It just add so much fun to any outfit, with that unexpexted accessory.

SPRING BALANCE
7.5.14
It's always so difficult to pick the right outfit in spring, especially with our unpredictable, good old English weather. Whether you dress more for summer and risk getting chilly, or dress more for winter and risk getting too warm?
Well I think I found the perfect balance on my trip to Downtown on Sunday.
Oversized Primark striped boyfriend fit tshirt (£4.00), H&M charcoal imitation leather jacket (Sale £15.00), H&M thick sole snake print trainers (£24.99), Abercrombie skinny fit ankle gazer jeans (£79.00) (Obviously you can source some more reasonably priced ankle gazers as they're right on trend currently), Vivienne Westwood snake print handbag (£269.00).
The perfect balance between our countries awkward shift in temperature with an imitation leather jacket that due to it being faux makes it so much lighter in weight, and thin tshirt but layered with the leather makes the perfect thickness coverage. Ankle gazer jeans for the spring ankle exposure showing a bit of skin edging towards summery.
I really loved this outfit, perfect for travelling and shopping with not too much weight, thickness or flesh exposure.
So don't think just because the suns out that automatically means we have to jump into our summery shift dresses and risk freezing. It's spring, this is England, find the balance.
Recently my favourite pair of Abercrombie and Fitch skinny ankle gazer jeans saw their last day. As wearing them practically daily for a year and 2 months saw them pray for retirement as they started to create their own rips at the seems.
But I was not about to bid farewell to my favourite ankle gazers! I took their newly style of random rips appearing and decided to use this to revamp my favourite pair of jeans back into the SS14 trend of distressed jeans and help them along their ripping journey and added rips myself into the knee to bring the style into the current spring trend.
I used just your average kitchen scissors to add the distressed rip in my jeans that some people may frown at me taking scissors to a £79.00 pair of jeans, but why let such a amazing wardrobe piece die, why not give it a new life?
I styled my new revamped ripped jeans with my eBay cleated platform boots (£39.99), Primark boyfriend tshirt (£4.00) and Topshop Petite Fur Jacket (£70.00).
So don't just let a pair of jeans name their day, take advantage of the distressed jeans trend and revamp those favourite demins and give them another life, and another advantage to your wardrobe.
LITTLE LEOPARD
2.5.14
I absolutely adore Primark at the moment, their shoes and bags are just fabulous.
With coordinates being a huge trend this spring/summer, I bought these gorgeous matching accessories a few weeks ago and they're just perfect.
Both £8 each, an absolutely bargain for a gorgeous pair on ankle strap flats and a multi pocket body bag which are perfect with nearly every outfit, that I'm really enjoying wearing with my white jeans this spring, and the good thing about them at £8 for a pair of shoes, you might as well buy a couple of pairs!
Today arrived my first #fblogger item to review for my first feature, from one of my favourite jewellery and accessory shops Adorn Accessories.
I've been familiar with this gorgeous brand for a while now that used to be located in my local town but is sadly no longer, HOWEVER they're online and I can still source their beautiful items, and FREE DELIVERY on items over £30, received in the most gorgeous packaging too, just to get even more excited about!
So I was lucky enough to receive the gorgeous Madame Meadow Necklace which has gorgeous yellow tones and silver jewels against a silver chain.
It's just stunning! With my regular choice of monochrome clothing it gives such a great colour pop to any outfit and it's such a lovely statement but not too much of a statement that it's over the top, it's the perfect balance of colour, size and sparkle.
It sits at just the right length to wear on a bare neckline, over a collar and with any outfit.
My favourite thing about the majority of Adorn Accessories products is their ability to be versatile with so many different outfits and ability to be worn formally to an event, or casually with a baggy jumper like I have bellow.
I've just fallen in love with it, and cannot wait to wear it over the collar of my sheer backless shirt and paired with my striped two piece to a wedding this summer.
So pop over to www.adorn-accessories.co.uk and check out their amazing range of accessories and use my exclusive DISCOUNT CODE 'PALLETT10' for 10% OFF (until 01/07/14).
