I love this outfit, perfect for evening wear! 1920's glamour with the fur on one side!
Instead of wearing a necklace I pinned the earring to my turtle neck jumper, the same look can be achieved with a brooch- for a simple elegant look.







I wore my fur collar draped on one shoulder to achieve an elegant look, pair with a black outfit and simple minimal accessories and you're good to go!

A new Bow

If you haven't realised already I have a love of bow ties and all things geeky.... don't believe me check out my previous posts ;)

I admit I do enjoy the odd dress ups where my style is less geeky but I always come back to the bow every now and then. When I do style my outfits with a bow tie I try to make it my statement piece. I don't believe that enough women wear the bow tie and that bow ties are commonly worn by men, but I am personally very inspired by menswear and I am a firm believer that women can pull off 'the geek' just as well. 

We can all put a little bit of ourselves into what we wear and make it our own. 

Accessorising with geek glasses and a neck scarf


I wore a khaki turban in order to match the bow tie and accessorised with a long neck scarf which I believe compliments the outfit. I also wore a cobalt blue blazer and matching shoes because a little colour was necessary to bring the outfit together (and I love a bit of bold/bright colours).



The whole outfit- I love the way bold colours work extremely well with slightly dull/dark colours... try it with your outfits!

Cobalt and Lime

This is some outfit inspiration for anyone who is bold enough to wear bright colours! I wore this outfit to a friends birthday party because although it screamed FUN (with bright eye catching colours) it was also very elegant and chic with the clutch and heels and long flowing maxi skirt. I was somewhat confused and indecisive about what to wear, as all girls usually are before any party or major event. Therefore mixing elegance with a pop of colour is a great way to celebrate in style- I found this outfit to be both suitable for both day and evening. 





In any special occasion heels and a clutch are a definite must!! These minute but effective little details instantly make any outfit more than a little ordinary.




These blue heels are great for adding a bit of colour to your outfit! I can definitely picture these heels with an all black outfit too because that pop of colour will make it stand out add a matching scarf or bag and you're set.







Absolutely in love with this lime green blouse!! Be prepared to see this being starred in more outfit posts :D




This Maxi skirt was discovered in the teens section of New Look, during which time this colour maxi skirt was rarely seen. However, as of late and practically straight after I purchased this skirt I saw many more similar ones namely from Primark and also the women's section of new look. But I was still satisfied with my skirt, it was a perfect fit as it had an elasticated waist. TIP; when you aren't sure as to which size you should get an elasticated waist is a sure way to fight the uncertainty and I also find them to be quite slimming.


Accessories, and in my case; RINGS, are a must to jazz up any outfit

Flower Power

So, as the weather takes a turn better, in Britain everyone pretty much takes advantage of the few minutes of sunshine which are bestowed upon us. And what better way is there to brave the sun, than with floral prints- a must have staple in any girls wardrobe whether it be a top, bottom or even accessories.. Personally prints in particular are becoming a favourite and on the top of my list of desired prints it has to be the infamous floral pattern. Below I have selected a few of my most-loved floral outfits....










Layering and floral: .. (This was a winter look- who says floral is just to be seen during summer?? LOL) as you can tell my maxi skirt is quite colourful and as a result there was no need to overdo the outfit in the colour department. Hence, I teamed the outfit with the colour black in effect this allows the floral design to stand out more and be more prominent.

knitted jumper- H&M
olive blazer- Forever 21
Leather jacket- Miss selfridge
Skirt-Primark






This is another outfit with the same skirt, I added a few more accessories such as the statement necklace and I also wore a khaki hijab to match some of the colours in the skirt. I would recommend this look for those of you who prefer a much more formal look. this look is also more suited for summer than the outfit before it.

    Another example of a floral outfit... floral printed blazers. dress down by pairing the blazer with head-to-toe black or dress up and be daring!!! the choice is totally upto you. I personally think this blazer could suit anyone. depends on your own personal preference as to how you would wear it.

 Once again I have paired the floral print with black allowing it to stand out, a very simple but effective look.

Here I have worn the same maxi skirt but this time paired it with a white blazer and tan bag perfect for a summery look.... adding light colours such as white tend to make any outfit more suitable for summer.

Yet another look with a floral blazer... one of my most favourite looks. mixing up the colours a little- be bold. although... this look is not recommended for summer as this look includes layering.

OKAY, so technically this isn't floral but paisley print is near enough and a great alternative to floral prints (for those who are truly averse to anything with flowers) and i truly love this shirt, hence the need to share it LOL.
