Alana Haim Outfit Inspiration | QueenBeady

Today I bring you the third & final instalment of my outfit inspiration posts on those super talented sisters, Haim. Last but not least is Alana – who is often referred to as Baby Haim. She’s the youngest of the band and exudes playfulness both on stage & off.

I would say Alana’s style is very much the wacky one. As the youngest this is probably why it reflects that the most. She is not afraid to get colourful and show off a bit of leg in her trademark short shorts!

So let me take you on another style journey after trawling the Internet I think I put together the perfect outfit.

1. This varsity style jacket is an absolute bargain from River Island and personifies Alana. She does occasionally wear the Haims trademark leather jacket like her sisters but your tend to see her in more lighter jackets like this one. In the sale at on £20 you’d be mad not to buy it!

2. PAISLEY PRINT! Not only am I a huuuuge fan of this print & style it is so on point with Alana’s fashion sense. This will be seen all over the festival circuit this year. You can pick up this in time for the summer season from Topshop at a slightly pricier £36.

3. Alana wouldn’t be Alana if she wasn’t wearing some really short shorts! I picked these ones because I loved the floral pattern of the pockets that were peaking out at the bottom. From New Look they only cost £14.99. What a bargain?

4. EEEEK! Look at these beauties? What dreams are made of? These Dr Martens are from Cloggs UK & are the pricier end of the scale at £124.99 but you know you will probably get the quality from a well known brand. I’m awaiting a pair of these beauties so I almost feel like I could be Baby Haims twin!

5. This super cute swallow necklace is fabulous. It’s very delicate and it’s not too over the top. I think this would just finish the look off perfectly! This can be found at Boohoo at a very lovely price of £5.

So there you have it Alana Haims style from the high street & the last in this series posts. I will no doubt be using this style inspiration for another set of posts soon. I’d love to hear if you want to challenge me to create someone’s style as well – so please leave a comment below!

Danielle Haim Outfit Inspiration | QueenBeady

Today I bring you the second instalment of my outfit inspiration posts of the bands I love. Last time I posted an outfit dedicated to the oldest sister Este which you can find here!

Danielle is the middle sister and quite notably the lead singer of the band (however I sometimes think Estes vocals are a little better. Please don’t shoot me!) she is definitely the dark/mysterious type who takes a back seat whilst her two siblings completely goof off all the time. Her style is much more simple compared to them as well.

1. This monochrome striped tee is so bang on trend at the moment & I can so totally see Danielle wearing this with her effortless style. This cute top is from New Look and costs a very pocket saving £14.99! Perfect.

2. YIKES! I love this rope necklace from Miss Selfridge and another steal at £12.50 I think I might have to treat myself on payday. I have a very similar gold rope style necklace that I never want to take off!

3. Look at these super effortless Imitation Leather trousers from H&M. They are totally in tune with Danielle’s style. Tight, black & leather = spot on. And they are even more spot on at a lovely £19.99 price tag.

4. Ahhh the time old classic converse shoe. I want a pair of these every year but for some reason my purse strings do not allow it. A festival staple that every girl needs. Available at Schuh at £42 – I think I need to start saving!

5. Danielle is always found with some sort of leather jacket. I picked up she wore the biker style jacket with no sleeves & I found this one at Topshop which fitted the bill perfectly. It’s not such a bad price at £45 either!i can see her rocking out in it now.

So there you have it, my guide to Danielle Haim’s very cool and laid back style.

Este Haim Outfit Inspiration | QueenBeady

I’ve decided to so a series post that will be weekly for all my lovely readers & followers. Having seen these sorts of style posts I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon but try do something a little different.

I love fashion and following both the high street & the catwalk, but what really inspires me the most are the bands and singers that I really love! so I thought I’d kick off my first blog post by starting with 1/3 of my favourite band EVER! The gorgeous and hilarious Este HAIM.

1. This gorgeous dress is from the fabulous Lavish Alice I chose this dress because quite simply, it oozes Estes style to an absolute tee. Priced at £58.00 you hope you are going to get a nice quality piece of clothing.

2. These incredibly super duper cool biker shoes from Missguided are perfect for the feet. If you are on your feet alot you want to look cool but at the same time not have poorly feet at the end of it. For £37.99 I thought this was such a reasonable price for some biker style boots. Perfect sized heel & perfect for Estes style

3. Frilly socks? Say no more. They create that perfectly girly & innocent look that tones down the slightly hardcore/grungey look that Este pulls off so well. Some how she still manages to keep it quite feminine. Priced at £3.50 from Topshop they are an ABSOLUTE steal!

4. I LOVE this necklace. The very tribal-esque look is still bang on trend and quite frankly just pull this whole outfit together. I can totally see this type of jewellery rocking out at every festival this year. And it’s only £12.50 from Miss Selfridge

5. Last but it least I bring you the most AWESOME rose gold metallic leather jacket from River Island I mean this is a ridiculous splurge piece, priced at £140.00 but WOW! Whilst I don’t think I could be so daring I imagine Este would absolutely love this piece!

There you have it, my style guide to Este Haims wardrobe inspiration. Keep your eyes peeled for another sister from HAIM very soon. Quite frankly I love you & your style – AMAZING!

If you liked this post let me know with your comments it’s great to hear from all my followers & readers!

OOTD Enjoying my new hat & tings | QueenBeady

So guys, I got bored & thought I would be really posey poserish & pull off a few shots of a new outfit I put together on Friday.

Some of you who are regulars to my blog WAVES may have seen my eBay Haul post over a week ago, it included this super cute mint green dress with a scooped back. I bought it not realising it was a few too many sizes big, but when I got it on I LOVED the fact that it wasn’t too tight. I think it’s gives it a bit more of a casual feel to it.

So I enclose a photo of me getting my ritual pose on (trying to look oh so cool but I’m not quite sure it’s working? Cue awkward face!)

Dress Topshop (eBay find)
Hat eBay
Chelsea Boots Barretts

I absolutely love this look. If I was going out I would finish it with my leather jacket just to keep it on the edgier side as it were.

I was also unsure about the “pork pie hat” but I can’t explain my love for it & how it just pulls everything together creating a chic yet I don’t care look about it!

What’s your weekend style?

To start or not to start Video Blogging? That is the question | QueenBeady

It has come to my attention that alot of people like this so called “Video Blogging” I myself have only put pen to paper (or should I say, finger to keyboard!) and have wrote the written word.

My husband to be, James has gone & bought a very fancy new laptop which has a built in web cam. So curiosity has killed the cat & I am thinking of all the wonderful techy things I can do with it & vblogging (as I have so frequently seen it referred to!) is possibly my first avenue.

With my experience of radio training I am not one to shy away from a mic but I have to say, my face in front of a camera is enough to make you run for the hills! So my question to my lovely followed & blogging friends is… Is it worth it & do you get a lot out of it. Whilst I know my blog is not the MOST established blog out there but I do hope I reach a wide audience with lots of different posts instead of pigeon holing myself down one route.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, what would you like to see/hear & how often? I’m hoping to have a play round with it next week without the beady eyes & ears of my partner, as I might get “stage fright” – I am thinking first off a nice OOTD post? I’d love to hear from you all.
