    How to be Parisian Wishlist | QueenBeady

     

    Yes, I am one of those people who lusts after Breton stripes & big floppy black hats. There is something effortlessly chic about the French style that has captured not only Bloggers eyes but the whole world. So much so there is a book about it. I’m still yet to purchase it but somehow I know that when payday rolls around it will be firmly sat in a shopping basket somehow.
    Every girl dreams of owning that vintage, leather Chanel shoulder bags & if you don’t, hey what the hell is wrong with you? By the time I reach double my age (that’s 50 I’ll have you know!) I can promise you I will have saved long & hard for one of these precious bags.
    With Spring just around the corner I couldn’t think of a more perfect outfit. With warmer days heading with a touch of a breeze you don’t want to be too layered so going for longer sleeves & thinner material is the way forward for me.
    How do you dress ”Parisian”? Are there lots of new outfit ideas you have for Spring time?

    Today called for a super casual, dress down day. I had nothing particularly exciting to do today other than cleaning the house. Terribly boring & teribbly house-wifey but these things just have to be done. The sun has been shining gloriously today, a very different story from last Wednesday when the predicted snow finally arrived in Yorkshire. I was left freezing my little tootsies off, dreaming of my cosy duvet, Netflix & hot cocoa. I’ve been wanting a pair of flat, riding style boots for some time whilst the weather is still a little cooler & Online Avenue answered my prayers with this gorgeous quilted pair. Perfect for those days where you just want to throw something on! It’s all about the layering for January & February, until the days start warming up I am going be wearing thick layers to stay nice & warm to keep the sniffles at bay! How are you spending your weekend?

    Jacket Cardigan Topshop | Top Primark | Skirt Primark | Knee High Boots New Look

    I don’t know what it is about the 90’s vibe that we all love? The re-introduction of Clueless (thanks to Iggy’s ”I’m so fancy” summer hit) has reignited that love/hate relationship with all the tackiness that comes with the era of boy bands, inflatable chairs, lava lamps and any other aptly 90’s themed item you can think of. But I do know that I love the monochrome look, it’s at the forefront of fashion at the moment but I’m seeing it in a really ”androgynous” style too. I thought it was time to put a playful twist on it! My pleather skirt from Primark was a steal in the sales just before Christmas at a mere £3 even if I wore it once it was still going to have been worth it. The stripes are everywhere, I just love how typically Parisian it is – even my Mum comments on how much I wear stripes. Is it time to stop wearing them? Nah, I didn’t think so! This cardi/jacket is something I can’t live without, I picked this up on eBay & I constantly lean to it when I want a light jacket that isn’t too formal but not too casual! The boucle pattern is what does it for me I think. Have you got any classic ”decade” outfits that you go for? I see the 1970’s style is making a revival too, so get those bell bottoms out quick!

    The end of 2014 saw me welcome black in to my wardrobe. No, not the gothic style but more the sophisticated, understated type of black. I’ve always been the type of person who has embraced colour and never shied away from all the bright hues. But, as I’m growing older I felt I needed to accept a little more sophistication  in the style area. Getting to 25 seemed to be a difficult one for me, but it saw me take the plunge and cut my hair to a mid bob which was a million miles away from my long tresses pre quarter life century mark. I realised that I am ready to bring an air of class in to what I wear & this dress from the Oh My Love Range from Topshop was going to be one of my first experiments. Have you hit a landmark age & realised you needed to do something drastic?
