Festival Fever!

Hello!

Sorry i haven't made a post in a while but i have just graduated from university! Life has been crazy, but i am back with a post to get you ready for summer. Festivals are a massive part of the british summer, we have everything from the huge Glastonbury festival to V fest and i have a few ideas to get you festival fashion ready! 

When i think of festivals, i look to people such as Vanessa Hudgens, Sienna Miller and Gillian Zinser, they are the ultimate boho babes and the ones to get ideas from, 

The beauty that is Ms Zinser looks grunge glam in her flannel shirt and denim cut offs! Denim shorts are the best staple buy when heading off to a festival, they ooze that hippy/boho feel when teamed with shirts, crochet tops and chains or watch it with a tightfitting top for a bit of glam. 

Another festival babe is the fabulous Sienna Miller! Here at glastonbury wearing her gorgeous cutoffs, a simple grey vest and crochet waitcoat, simple and utterly stunning! Also adding a hat to her outfit, you can buy trilby's from anywhere on the highstreet, they protect you from sunburn (but look fab too!)

Vanessa Hudgens is a festival fav, she's always there looking stunning and a few fashion tips to steal from her would be her amazing accessories! Sunglasses are a big hit this summer with new styles coming out all the time, I've recently come to love cirular shaped glasses as i feel they look vintage and beautiful! You can go online to places such as Missguided to get yours!

The other obvious accessory i love about Vanessa's outfit is her flower headband! This one is moderatly small compared to the flower crowns you can buy this year! They are a perfect addition to any outfit so grab ones from any high street shop!

Flower Crown: £3 Primark

Florals are always huge at festivals so make a statement with a crown! I got this one from primark for only £3! You can also get them from places such as Topshop and H&M. Why stop at you hair though? Go all out with flower nails!! These ones are so easy to do... 

Simply paint your nails white, add blobs of the colours you want your roses to be (i chose pinks and blues),  add your green blobs for leaves at the sides and then use a black nail art pen (mine is from Models Own at £6) and outline your roses, simple!! All the nail colours i used were from Barry M (all at £2.95) and are available at boots. 

Though of course i dont want to leave any men out in this post! Fashion for men is just as crucial and i've found that ASOS have put together a bunch of outfit ideas to help you all out! 

It's so helpful so just go on to ASOS and the festival fashion link and you'll have hundreds of ideas in no time! It could be a vest or a shirt, some shorts or some jeans! They have everything you need!!  

So pack your backpacks and don't forget the Batiste!!  Everyone needs dry shampoo at a festival, even you boys! It'll keep your hair smelling fresh and looking good whilst you're living in mud!! They come in a massive range now so you can be spolit for choice ;) They can be bought at any boots or superdrug stores for £3.99! 

So keep dancing and singing your ay through your festival and hope you all have the best time! Remeber that being simple, sexy accessories and keeping it cool will win you fashion points :P

Back To The... Past?

Hello!

So today, i've gone back in time a little back to one of my favourite films... Clueless! Yes Alicia Silverstone as the fabulous Cher. I was looking at this because something has cropped up again... Remember this stylish Calvin Klein dress...?

Well, The dress is back and still as fantastic! Rihanna was spotted wearing the revamped dress at the GQ awards a few months back and she looked amazing! Such a simple dress and we are back to the 90's looking flawless!

I made another little discovery when i found a dress modelled by my friend here.. she got this on the highstreet so you're closer to bringing back the gorgeous decade! It's a simple dress from Renee London, and it's been styled up with a belt to add a little something... I'm loving the bright colour too, ready for the summer!

Topshop, river island and h&m would be perfect places to find these dresses too, so find that inner cher and embrace the beauty of the 90's!!

London Fashion Week

Hello!

Well i have a great post for you today because... London Fashion Week has been and gone! The most prestigious week in the fashion calendar has hit London in full storm! It all kicked off on Friday the 15th and i was lucky enough to be there for the PPQ show at Somerset House. The runway was lit up with PPQ's bright block colours and 80/picasso prints, fitted blazers, off the shoulder dresses.. it was fashion heaven!

 I've been keeping an eye on the shows and the highlights during the week and i have some pictures from some of the hottest shows on the catwalk icluding Sister by Sibling, Mulberry, Topshop Unique, Burberry Prorsum and the one i was most looking forward to... Tom Ford! 

My favourite of all the collections has to be Burberry Prorsum because to me, all of the pieces were so wareable and i loved the metal detail on the dresses and macs. The knee length and tight fitting skirts along with oversized jumpers worked perfectly and i believe it was the highlight of London Fashion Week. London really does sit on a higher platform as a fashion capital because of the help of the fashion council, which no other capital has. It was a fabulous week from old and new designers so i hope you enjoy these pictures from London Fashion Week!

Has A Ring To It...

Hello!
My post today is all about rings! I'm actually obsessed with rings and i think they are the best accessory to have, they never go out of fashion and the more the better! Wether stacking them up or just having one signiture ring, they can make the plainest of outfits sparkle. Personally, i'm really into turquoise stones, chunky and midi rings, an assortment of colours too. Here are the ones i'm wearing today...

Nail Colour: Cabaret (Ciate)

Rings: All Topshop, stacked and midi rings

You can find that instagram has a huge ring trend at the moment but in my opinion, they will always be stylish and fun! If you want any 'ring-spiration' look to people such as Caggie from made in chelsea, Vanessa Hudgens and the Olsen twins

You can find rings in every shop, my favourtie places to look are Topshop, h&m and thrift stores! So look to any antique or charity shop and you'll be sure to find a bunch of stylish and vintage ings and costume jewellry! 

Another post to come soon...

Leather Me Up!

Hello!
So, Nails Inc have come up with another fabulous varnish... Leather Effect! It comes in a few different colours, my faves being black and nude, it also comes with 4 little skulls for decoration, brilliant idea! When painted on and left for a few minutes, the look and texture of leather appears, it's honestly amazing. It comes as a set for £19 and available from boots, amazon or any other retailers that sell Nails Inc.

True Blue-ty

Hello!
So it's absolutly freezing right now so i hope everyone is wrapping up warm (yet keeping stylish!) Black seems to be a big colour for when its cold, it is a statement, it's classy and its a good choice! There is always a way to liven it up though and i've found a girl who proved this and i loved it!!!

Changing your hair colour can be a huge deal but sometimes, it's just what you need. An alternative to 'normal' colours is going the way of pastel colours! Laura has gone for a pastel blue and also dyed her eyebrows the same colour so i thought i'd post it on here to see what you think! I love it and i think it really works with the vintage black ensemble :D It's a way to change things up so think pastel!

Snuggly Accessories

So it's got to those cold autumn nights, long walks and cuddles! Well what better way to walk than styled of course! Scarves are a must have in winter and I've found a gorgeous one from Mulberry with the most beautiful pattern! You can also find cheaper alternatives to the tartan print in H&M and my favourite, Barbour! Ranging from £8 to £140! Ill be writing about more accessories over the weeks so keep checking!

Laguna Beauty...

Hiya!
They weren't kidding when they said third year was going to be the toughest! Sorry, i've neglected my blog baby for a few weeks now but i am back with todays new post! (They'll be another on friday as usual too) So in my 5 spare minutes a day when i am not reading Stanislavski or Meyerhold, I've yet again been drawn in by the radient Lauren Conrad! Her new book 'Beauty' is out and of course, i was in there straight away! The book goes with her 'Style' book, i have referenced this on the blog before, referring it to the Bible! But 'Beauty' is all about you, your skin, health, hair and nails! It really is an amazing read if you're worried about why you're getting breakouts in certain areas, if you're using the right moisturizer for your skin type and of course, how to get those Conrad curls! I recommend it to anyone as it has so many good tips in there, i'm already using a few ;)

'Beauty' Lauren Conrad: £14.99

All her tips! 

Have a good week!
