Welcome to the dark side!

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd show you this really fun gothic glam look I put together! I would definitely match it with a smokey eye and hot pink lipstick to make it edgy but still girly!

Hope you like it

Is it Summer yet??

Ladies I don't know about you but I am SO EXCITED about the Summer! I love wearing bright colours, and crisp clean cut fabrics...and lets not forget an extra large pair of Victoria Beckham style sunglasses!

Have you seen the OM Kirstie Dress yet? I LOVE IT! It's super girly and just sums up the Summer perfectly for me!

Lets go grunge!

Holy Moly!! I have not written a post in such a long time!

Did you miss me? :)

So what have I been up to...a lot if I'm honest! Its been pretty hectic in the OM office with our new SS14 collection coming through (have you checked out the new stuff?). I can't complain I love working on new pieces and bringing the collection together - this year we're going for bright bold colours and lots of amazing patterns!

However through the craziness of all these beautiful bright clothes I have been distracted by a grunge style tee called the Liza Tee! This top is going to be a good friend of mine this season...I can feel it! Whether I rock it with leather trousers or denim shorts I know its going to look cool! 

So check out the new collection guys and let me know what you think!

Have a fab week

STUD ME UP BABY

Autumn is creeping round the corner, which for me means the perfect excuse to start wearing dark clothes and start layered up again (LOVE IT).

Now I'm one of those people who will have one staple cardigan that I will wear for an entire season, simply because it goes with everything - regardless of how many cardigans I own I will always be overly loyal to one...

Let me introduce you to my new favourite cardi!!

This cardigan is so soft and is only £14.99!! Fabulous!! Buy it now here: Ollie May Studded Cardigan

Get the everyday look!

The simple things in life...

I don't know about you but I love the simple things in life: cups of tea, a sunny day, my favorite show on TV, making someone laugh...and simple yet effective items of clothing!

I believe every girl should own:

A good pair of blue jeans

A good pair of black jeans

3 plain vests 

Black heels 

A bag that will go with everything

A statement liptstick

An LBD

And a signature shirt/blouse that can be dressed up or down!

Don't you agree? :)

Recently I have fallen in with the Ollie May Black Buttoned Blouse. I've been searching for a black blouse/shirt for a while now, but with the summer trends screaming neon brights, its been pretty tricky! A lass I have found one and I couldn't be happier.

Don't you just love it when you find an item of clothing and you can instantly think of different ways you can wear it an style it? Autumn and Winter are coming for us and the only way to be prepared is to own a signature black blouse!

What can you wear it with?

Currently while the sun is still out I am matching mine with cute shorts or I'll I tucked it into a high waist skater skirt!

Other options: Leather leggings. Jeans (black or aubergine would be fab). High waist pencil skirts (or skater). Leather shorts. I also think chunky gold jewelry would look gorgeous with it, especially with a pop of colour thrown in! So yes this shirt will give you a lot of use - simple yet effective and only £24.00!!

 Buy this shirt here: Black Buttoned Blouse £24.00

Do you Graze?

Every Thursday without fail I get a little brown box sent to me filled with the most delicious healthy snacks! Where are they being sent from? GRAZE!

I cannot praise this company enough! Basically each box cost around £3.95 and you can chose what day you want it be to be sent on - I go with Thursday because quiet frankly I find Thursday rather dull! - Whats inside? FOOOOOD!! Heatlhy, organic, naughty, fruity, amazing food!

To give you an example here is my Graze box I received today!

Pretty awesome hey? Each little box tells you whats exactly inside and it will even tell you if its one of your 5 a day, if its a super food, if its high in fibre, and if its a naughty snack it will even tell you the calorie count! Whats great about Graze is you can go on their website and chose the type of foods you like eating, and I'm pretty certain your first box is FREE! 

All in all I highly recommend Graze, I have been religiously receiving my boxes for over a year now - it is certainly a little box of happiness every Thursday! :)

Laurens Way Big Bun!

I am a big fan of all products from Lauren's Way, so when I got my hands on their Big Bun (that sounds a bit naughty) I knew I had to show you all how awesome it is!

Now When I say big bun I really mean BIG!! Approximately 6 inches wide this bun really is a show stopper! Now you guys must be thinking 6 inches wide wooooaaaaa that thing must weigh a tone, but in all fairness it really doesn't - don't get me wrong you can feel it on your head, but it doesn't annoy you or cause a strain...its strangely comfortable and its only £9.95!! 

Here are a few photos of me wearing the Laurens Way Big Bun!

Cute hey? And to complete the look I just added a necklace to my hair! Yes you read that right a necklace! This look took under 10 minutes to create and all I used was:

Don't believe me? Check out my tutorial on Youtube! 

This bun is getting a big thumbs up from me, and I shall be recommending it to all! 

You can buy the bun here: Laurens Way Big Bun

SUMMER LOVING!!

Oh my goodness can this weather be any more beautiful!?! Tan me up baby!! Who needs to go on holiday when the UK is this HOT!

So what does one wear in this weather? Shorts and a crop tee....borrrring! Today I've channeled my inner Greek Goddess, and I am loving it! The dress is Ollie May (of course) and is called the Kayleigh Dress, whats even better is its only £27.99! This dress is so easy to wear - floaty, light, and covers all the right areas! I think what I like so much about this dress is you can wear it casual or really dress it up - perfect :)

Satchel Loving

Its festival season and we our LOVING quiet possibly the most useful form of handbag around....the SATCHEL! 

These practical and rather adorable bags have been a recurring summer trend for years now, and we are not remotely surprised! Ollie May simply could not resist the trend, and have brought you two fabulous satchels in some great colours! - bubble gum pink and tan brown! - One for the out there girly girls and one that simply goes with everything! - genius, I'll have one of each please :)

Satchels at the ready? Right lets go dance!

These satchels cost £24.00 and you can buy them HERE 

Ollie May ruffle blouse

Its a beautiful day and today I'm wearing the Ollie May Ruffle Blouse!!

Ruffles ruffles ruffles = fun, fabulous, fresh!

I can't help but feel sophisticated in this blouse, I just want to drink tea from a china set and demand cucumber sandwiches! I've gone quite causal with the look saying that - with some baby blue Topshop jeans, drop earrings from ASOS and a very messy top bun - but hey I think it works!

This blouse can easily be dressed up or down, I'm defiantly feeling inspired to match it with some leather leggings and killer heels (very Kardashian) for an evening look.....maybe a red lip stick to match?? Fab!

The fabric is a creamy soft chiffon, and can be unbuttoned all the way down - the collar actually looks really cute if you fold it down like a shirt, it gives it a more casual feel.

The blouse costs £22.00 and you can find it HERE

What would you match it with?
