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!)

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?

Nail Art Review on MUA Bold Blue Nail Polish | QueenBeady

Friday is my favourite day off in the week because I have the house to myself, I can catch up with house work (bore!), watch whatever I like & just generally slob out! and today is no different. I have decided to paint my nails with a new nail polish I bought from Superdrug the other night.

I felt a bit sorry for myself after a hard day at the office & I needed a little pick me up. (what girl doesn’t?) so I headed to my local Superdrug to have a little peak and found myself gazing at the MUA stand. Why on earth have I never come across these little gems before? I twirled it round and there was just value galore in front of my eyes. Everything ranged from £1 upwards.

I turned my attention to the nail polish as I like to do my nails to chill out & calm myself as I find it very therapeutic. There were about 10 different colours, most of them were pink, but I wanted something a little different. My favourite colour of the moment is duck egg blue , with its very Cath Kidston feel. I love everything in this beautiful, powdery blue because it just feels like Spring & Summer when I look at it

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.

OOTD | Injecting Colour

On Friday evening I need to get myself ready for a little outing. I can’t say what just yet but let’s put it this way I definitely wanted to make a good impression.

It was a cold February evening & I was just sick of all this bad, windy & rainy weather. So what better way to make you feel better than dress the complete opposite? However, I’m always a big believer in dressing for the seasons but for some reason I decided that this night I was going for the opposite. I needed to stand out! Thus this creation was born.

Along with my gorgeously & newly coloured hair and this outfit, I felt a million dollars, PLUS bang on trend.

I wanted to share with you my outfit & where it’s all from….

Here we have my gorgeous statement black & white statement necklace. I bought this from New Look for about £3 in the sale. I’ve never looked back since as this was my first bold piece of costume jewellery (my absolute FAVE for jazzing up an outfit!) & we also have my amazing lime green jumper from Zara which is ADORE. It is the perfect jumper that makes you stand out for the RIGHT reasons & boy did I? I needed to!

Here we have my Joseph Janard Shirt which would have been a splurge but luckily my husband to be’s Aunty is very glamorous & I tend to get LOVELY hand me downs (which, I never complain about!)

I also finished my look with my wax style black trousers featured in the second photo. Luckily (again!) James’ cousin works for Mango and she can get amazing discount! Perfect for me.

So there you have it – possibly one of my most favourite OOTDs & looks this year and hopefully (fingers crossed!) it will lead to bigger & better things!

I will hopefully be able to share more dazzling looks with you soon. I’d love to hear what you think so please like or comment!
