Blakely Clothing Tops

Blakely Clothing kindly gave me two tops to promote, so I figured why not feature them on my blog?

The first top that I received was "The Bayliner". I really love the nautical theme of this top! I've never worn any nautical themed clothing before, so it was nice to have a change and shake things up. The contrast of it being cropped but having long sleeves makes it ideal for spring, as it can be worn on both cold and warm days, making it perfect for unpredictable weather.

Another thing that makes this top stand out from the crowd is the little red anchor sewn in the corner. As well as being a cute touch, it also further reinforces the nautical theme.

This top is also ideal if you want a casual look. I decided to team this top up with a classic pair of black skinny jeans, my brand new Michael Kors Selma bag, and my white converse, which includes red and blue stripes on the sole to match the top! However, this top would also look great with a pair of blue ripped denim shorts when the weather (hopefully) gets warmer.

The second top that I received was "The Luna Crop" top. Although this is also a crop top, this top is quite different from "The Bayliner", as it has a galaxy theme as opposed to a nautical theme. Again, I've never owned anything with this theme before, so it's a great addition to my ever-changing wardrobe. 

This top is the ideal companion for a beach holiday for multiple reasons. Firstly, it's cropped with short sleeves, so it'll keep you nice and cool in the heat. Secondly, it's lightweight, so it's ideal for slipping over the top of a bikini, Thirdly, it'd look great paired with a pair of white shorts and cute flip flops.

However, as I was not fortunate enough to be on a beach holiday when these photos were taken, I decided to team this top with a pair of white skinny jeans and a pair of white converse. I decided to style it with white jeans as I felt that they would help show off the top more, whereas I felt that if I paired it with my black jeans or my black skater skirt it wouldn't look as effective and the colours would just blend in with each other. Come summer time, this top would look great with any light colours.

Rara De Barr: Antique Ice Earrings & Multi-Coloured Imogen

I really do love statement jewellery. It just brightens up dull outfits and makes them more fun!

These Antique Ice Earrings are different to what I'd usually wear, but I absolutely adore them. They're really elegant, but they're not too over the top either. They're a classic colour so they'll match any outfit, whether it's a multi-coloured bodycon dress or just a plain white top (Like I've worn here!)

They can be worn for all different types of formal occasions as well, making them fairly versatile.

This Multi-Coloured Imogen bracelet is extremely colourful - and I love it! The bright tones can add a pop of vibrancy to any outfit, whether it be a blouse and jeans or a playsuit. When teaming up your outfit with jewellery, if you want to keep most of your jewellery simple and just wear one statement piece, then this is the perfect bracelet.

On this occasion, I teamed up these pieces with a white square top, black Joni jeans and red lipstick, as I wanted the statement jewellery to do all of the talking.

Dusty Pink Primark Coat

My favourite colour is, and always has been, pink. A lot of people who know me know that I'm an absolute girly-girl. So, when I saw this beauty in Primark I had to snap it up.

I didn't want to spend a fortune on a pink coat, as the fact that it's so pale means that it'll get dirty very quickly and easily. I thank my lucky stars that I found this one in Primark, as I got it for an absolute steal! 

It's a classic style coat and is lined inside - my favourite combination. 

Surprisingly, it goes really well with a lot of my items of clothing. In fact, it goes so well that I find myself practically wearing it every day! I can't think of a day when I don't wear it to college.

On this occasion I decided to team this coat up with a few old favourites and a brand new top that I had purchased. I love pairing my grey Topshop joni jeans with my chelsea boots as I think the tones blend together quite nicely. I also feel that my Aldo handbag polishes off the look quite nicely

I'm really obsessed with jewellery at the moment as well, so I decided to wear my Tiffany & Co. silver heart pendant necklace. This necklace is noticeable, but doesn't make too much of a statement as well, which is why I love wearing it to make a change from statement jewellery from time to time.

I also felt that my new pastel blue top would go well with this coat as they're both pastel colours.

It's a crop top as well, so I felt that wearing it with a camisole underneath is essential in the winter. However, the fact that it has long sleeves definitely makes up for this.

I apologise again for the lack of posting! December was quite a busy month, with essays, mock exams, Christmas and new year. But now that it's a new year, I'm going to do my absolute best to keep posting as often as I can!

Miss Luxe Chi Chi Conchetta Dress

This dress is so elegant and classy. I love the sequined detail on the top, making it feel very christmas-y! The cream colour is really girly and elegant, and definitely works well with the black skirt. The peplum on top of the skirt is a really nice touch, and makes the dress truly unique. 

I decided to pair this up with my BANK clutch, keeping the tones simple with a nude-coloured clutch.

This dress would be perfect for a christmas party, as it's formal but not too over the top.

Sam Smith Concert Outfit

On the 7th November 2014 I saw Sam Smith live in concert at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith. It was one of the best performances I've ever been to! He truly is amazing live.

I'd fallen in in love with the moon, stars, sun print ever since I saw it on Motel Rocks' website. When I saw that there was a long sleeved version of the top, I knew that I just had to get it! They sell a lot of different pieces in the moon, stars, sun print, but I figured since winter's coming up that the long-sleeved top would be best.

I usually struggle to decide what to wear to concerts, but seen as this top is new I thought that I would wear it.

I decided to team it up with my trusted black Topshop skater skirt and black tights. I felt that I needed to add a pop of colour to my outfit though, so I decided to use my pink leather Grafea bag - it's perfect for travelling light! 

I decided to polish the look off with subtle eye make-up and my Barry M lipstick.

First Motel Rocks Purchase: Pink Morris Flower Wrap Crop Top

I never used to buy clothes online because I always like to "try before I buy", but when I saw the beautiful clothes on Motel Rocks' website I just had to get something!

I flicked through their sale page and stumbled across the "Wrap Crop Top in Pink Morris Flower". I thought it looked really cute, so I ordered it.

When it came I was so pleased! Apart from the fact that I had to roll the sleeves a bit, it fit really well. The pink colour is gorgeous, and the Morris flower pattern adds even more girly-ness.

As this top is a crop top, I thought that pairing it up with my Topshop Joni jeans would be best. I also decided to wear a black camisole underneath, as the V Neck is quite deep.

As for jewellery, I wore my Links of London and two shamballa bracelets, and flower earrings to match the pattern of the top.

Autumn Look

I adore playsuits, and this brand new one has to be my favourite!

It has long sleeves so it's perfect for this time of year. Also, it has a lining underneath, giving it an extra bit of warmth. I adore the pattern of butterflies and plants as it adds a splash of colour without being too over the top. I paired this playsuit up with tights, chelsea boots and my River Island handbag.

I think this Lyla Loves statement necklace is super pretty! I'm obsessed with statement necklaces, so I love wearing this. The turquoise colour adds a pop of colour to any outfit, and the diamantes add a bit of sparkle too!
