Dogtooth & Monochrome | QueenBeady

Leather Jacket Quiz Clothing | Dress C/O Rare London | Necklace Claire’s Accessories | Barely there Heels New Look

Now we all know that I like to play dress up, right? So of course when you are given a pick to choose a dress you know I’m not going to go for your average dress, yep! So when it came to picking a dress with Rare London this limited edition Dogtooth Monochrome dress was top of my list. Not only is the black & white trend so bang on for AW14/15 it had a pretty organza skirt overlay that just made me feel so girly.

It retails at £56 on the website, sadly there was a small nick in the dress on one of the seams but it will be easily fixed by Mr C’s Grandma’s sewing skills. I did advise Rare London on this so hopefully they will be vigorously checking their orders like the little good eggs they are! They even offered to replace it but I’d prefer them to save them for their paying clients (Because I’m as good little egg too!)

I got this in a size 12 to accompany my ever growing bust, however, I was pleasantly surprised that there was quite a bit of room to fit even more breast in so I may have got away with ordering a size 10 but I always like to act on the side of caution when getting something off the world wide web.

I teamed it with my black leather jacket from Quiz and my barely there heels from New Look which an absolute staple for me (comfy and on trend – what more could a girl ask for?) It kind’ve felt like I had just rewound back to the 1950’s and stepped on set for Grease the Movie!

I also created a ponytail with a wrap around to give this outfit a more edgy appeal. I had to stop myself from going Lily Allen-esque and rocking my fluorescent pink Nikes!

How would you have rocked this look? A similar way or completely different? Let me know in the comments below!

Cluelessly Vamped Up | QueenBeady

Fluffy Jumper Miss Selfridge | Necklace New Look | Leather Trousers Topshop | Clutch New Look | Chelsea Boots Barratts

There comes a time in the year when the leather trousers come out and are a staple item from my wardrobe. The days are cooler and you don’t have to frantically talc’ yourself down to try and squeeze yourself in to the little blighters.

I recently wore this outfit to a new local bar & grill called Sir Dukes which you can read about here! The atmosphere is pretty eclectic and funky so it warranted a fluffy jumper and leather trousers combo.

The outfit has a really naughty but nice feel to it. With the cuteness of the powder blue fluffy jumper (thank god pastels are still in for the AW14 season!) that scream Cher Horowitz and being ‘’so totally clueless’’ but the leather trousers completely vamp up the whole outfit!

Add a few simple touches with my black and white statement necklace and an oversized clutch you have yourself a day to night outfit that takes you in to Autumn quite nicely.

How are you transitioning in to the Autumn months with your outfits?

DRESS Quiz Clothing | SHOES Gold Glitter Jimmy Choo’s

First things first, excuse the terrible photos. I was battling with the windy elements and it did not make for easy photo taking.
I wanted to share with you some of the treats that I managed to buy with the voucher I won from Quiz Clothing at the Blog Yorkshire Event which you can read about here! I couldn’t wait to spend the vouchers and after endlessly browsing the website it was time to visit a store where I could spend them.

To say I’ve always been wary of Quiz Clothing is an understatement. I have always seen the brand as quite a garish clothing company, but, after being assured times were changing at Quiz HQ my opinions have slowly started to change.

I managed to blag 3 items with my £50 voucher and I can’t wait to share the other pieces with you soon.
As soon as I walked in to the bright & airy store I was immediately drawn in by this dress. The pretty’’ ‘’porcelain’’ blue & white is so dainty but was saddened that my size was not available, but ever the optimistic I picked up the dress that was 2 sizes small & headed to the changing room. I’m glad I did because it fit! The stretchy, bodycon style material allowed for my rather, bigger bust and fit perfectly.

The floaty-ness of the dress makes me feel so girly & I cannot wait to wear this out on the final summer nights that we have.

Of course, a pretty dress warrants a pretty pair of shoes! So out came my magical, gold glittery Jimmy Choo’s that I wore for our wedding.

Have you bought anything from Quiz recently? I’d love to know what styles you went for?

Vintage Shopper | QueenBeady

HAT C/O THE HUT || JUMPER TOPSHOP || DRESS eBay || SHOES CAMDEN MARKET

When I started to put this outfit together I felt like I was having a ‘’Throwback Thursday’’ moment because it looked like I had just jumped out of the 70’s. Especially the light brown colour of the Topshop netted jumper. I literally cannot wait to wear it at Leeds Festival teamed with a cute pair of shorts!
The dress was a bargain find on eBay and cost me £3.98. I wanted a light cami dress for the Festival and didn’t want to spend a fortune, just in case it get’s ruined.

The shoes are such a delight and from Camden Market. My manager just handed them to me one day ‘You’re a size 5 right?’’ and plonked them on my desk, best boss ever? Yes, I think so!

As a rather larger, busted lady it was nice to wear an outfit that feels like I’m hiding them quite well!
I love to find bargains online & on the high street. All in all this out fit cost me less than £10. It’s not often you can say you have got a whole outfit for under a tenner, is it?

What’s the thriftiest outfit you have ever bought, I’d love to hear!

Lace Vibes | QueenBeady

Hat New Look || Dress Primark || Lace Kimono Hidden Fashion || Shoes C/O Cloggs UK

So the imminent, yearly visit to Leeds Festival is very nearly upon us and it gives me great pleasure putting together so festival-worthy outfits for my favourite weekend of the year.

My main goal for this year was to find a floor length, lace kimono (Yes, I am still reminisicng over my own lace wedding gown from June. Give me a break okay?!) and I was determind to find one that didn’t break the bank but also looked good. I spent hours trawling the net when I came across Hidden Fashion – there website was filled with ridiculously cheap clothing items (I’m talking 99p cheap?!) and came across this gorgeous kimono for only £9.99. I was sold, so I hit ‘’add to basket’’.

My little flowery cami dress is so comfy! I urge you all to go out and buy one of these dresses, they are perfect for sunny, summer days & especially for festivals. At £5 it was a bargain!

Ever the one for a bargain, I picked up this funky maroon fedora in New Look for a mere £3 in the sale. I could not believe I had found something so cool and so on trend (Maroon is going to be BIG for AW 14/15) for three English Stirling pounds. Even the cashier was jealous of my little find!

You’ll notice I braided my hair ‘’Heidi Style’’ as I wanted to try something a little different to my hair. I think I will be rocking that style at Leeds Festival frequently, I loved how it made my hair so big!

Are you going to any festivals this year or have you been? How did you style your outfits for those long, summery, hazy days?
I for one cannot wait to be dancing in a field to some of the best music around in less than two weeks times!
