To the Tune of the Trumpet | QueenBeady

Dress Missguided | Shoes New Look | Watch Olivia Burton Watches | Bracelet C/O Links of London

I spoke of how I wanted to add more staple garments in the more sophisticated tones such as black, greys, whites & nudes but in the sales I couldn’t resist picking up this little blue number. With the trumpet skirt still very much in style I thought it was worth picking up for a nifty £14.99. Whilst it’s probably still a little too cold to wear this dress out it’s a great piece to add to my SS15 wardrobe. I’m very aware that I need to lose a few lbs for this dress to fit perfectly, so tonight is the night I start my gym induction. Wish me luck. 2015 is about getting healthy & being a little bit more in love with my body, I feel as though I have abused it for the last six months or so. Next time you see me wearing this dress I’ll look suitably slimmer. I hope. Are you trying to wiggle your way in to a particular outfit? How are you coming along?

‘’Lucinda’’ in the Sky with Diamonds | QueenBeady

Top H&M | Skirt C/O Poppy Lux | Watch Olivia Burton | Leopard Print Shoes New Look I’ve always dreamed of owning my own walk-in wardrobe, so when Mr C’s Grandparent’s go on holiday twice a year I can play pretend. Whilst a striking resemblance to the girl out of the ‘’The Ring’’ is quite apparent in these photo’s it was time for me to play dress up. I am a huge fan of Breton stripes and own far too many of these tops to even care to suggest, but, when paired with a sparkly new skirt from Poppy Lux (sister brand to SugarHill Boutique) it seemed a match made in heaven? Now, I love this time of year as it becomes acceptable to wear a little bit of sparkle without feeling too guilty. After all, one of my main motto’s in life is ‘’leave a little sparkle wherever you go’’ and this skirt does exactly that. I teamed this look with my new Olivia Burton watch that the husband bought me for my birthday back in October – a firm favourite of mine! Not forgetting my new leopard print heels, an eBay session brought these to me. Now, you must excuse me whilst I head back up to the dressing room and play Princesses for a few more hours…

Tartan & Breton Stripes | QueenBeady

Camel Coat Hand me down | Breton Top Zara | Chinos Mango | Shoes Primark | Scarf Barbour

Tartan & breton stripes have to be my perfect combination. Are you all with me on that one? I don’t know about you, but when Autumn comes I love to mix patterns to create a brighter and stand out look against all the tree’s & plants that have browned over.

There is something ever so ‘’Parisian’’ about this look that I can imagine walking down Montmartre & taking in the sights of the Eiffel Tower and drinking tea in quaint little coffee shops.

I have been lusting over the camel coloured coats recently and could not believe my luck when my little sister decided to pass on her coat to me (there is nothing I love more than a hand me down so I can give it a new lease of life!) this has firmly stayed on recently and never want to take it off it’s that cosy!

My shoes are also a particular favourite of mine too! These faux snake skin shoes were a steal from Primark recently and they have not come off my feet. So comfy & versatile they can do no wrong in my eyes!

How would you style breton stripes or tartan would clash like I have?

I Heart Boucle Jackets | QueenBeady

Boucle Jacket Boohoo Boutique (eBay) | Top New Look (eBay) | Skirt H&M (eBay) | Shoes Primark

Yes. As you guessed it from the title, I love a good boucle jacket & this one is not to be ignored! As you know I spend A LOT of my spare time browsing through eBay trying to find all the trends at a fraction of the price. Some say I am ‘’The Thrifty Shopping Queen’’ and it’s a title I quite like thank you very much.

When I won this jacket for a mere £2.99 (plus postage!) I was more than excited to try it on and wear it out. I love the blue & white porcelain style to it, the jacket is a little different to what you would find on the high street & that is one of the main reasons I love it! I don’t like to wear something that is off the shelf and readily available and if I do I like to give it my own twist.

I paired it with a little crop top and lace cream skirt to keep it quite cute and girly! I love the way my heels completely elongate my legs (Yep, I think I just got a cheeky #ILoveMyselfBecause… hashtag in there!)

All in all this outfit came under £20 and I think it is great for a lovely lunch date or even office wear! The jacket is so versatile and could jazz up any outfit!

How would you style this jacket?

Jumpin’ Jack Flash | QueenBeady

Leather Jacket Quiz | Necklace Topshop | Jumpsuit C/O Wal-G | Heels New Look

When the Wal-G package landed on my doorstep I was ready to get my game face on and style something that is a little bit unusual to what I would normally style. I was sent the pale green jumpsuit, which, in all fairness isn’t something that wouldn’t tend to flatter my rather large bosom nor my hips which subsequently resemble a woman who should have given birth to 100 children by now.

Ever the optimist I set to it by digging out my leather jacket to give it a slightly edgier feel & I must say I was pretty happy with the results. Rather than draw unwanted attention to certain areas of my body it accentuated them which I was most pleased with. Add a pair of barely there heels to create a sophisticated, glamorous look! I accessorised with a thick, chunky necklace from Topshop which completed this look.

The whole ”pyjama” style look is on trend at the moment so it felt great that I could actually rock this look despite my curvaceous figure! I say give it a go, you might be pleasantly surprised with the outcome!
How would you style it?
