Pleats Please! (A meek~n~mild Lookbook.)

Tuesday, 31 May 2011


I've been requested many times to do a Lookbook featuring an item that can be styled a number of ways! I decided to give it a go, featuring this pretty Indigo Pleated Chiffon Skirt that I made yesterday ()!

Three Ways to style One Skirt...


Daytime Doll.
Who says you can't look cute for class? Play it up with a simple white tee and lace ups!


Tee : H&M // Belt : Primark // Lace ups : Internacionale // Satchel : Topshop

~~~

Daytime Doll (Deux)
Shopping Trip or Lunch date with friends? Turn the skirt into a dress and accessorize it with a flattering waist belt!


Obi Belt : H&M // Platforms : River Island // Clutch : Primark

~~~

Evening Belle.
Dinner or night out! Make a bold statement with this skirt by pairing it with a black bustier and killer heels.


Bustier : Vintage // Belt : Black Fabric // Clutch : H&M // Heels : Zara

*NB* I'm wearing a bodycon skirt underneath. I can also opt for a pair of leggings on cooler days or body suit on a night I feel brave. x

I'd love to know what you think, and if you'd want more lookbooks!

*PS* I've got clip in extensions in!
Type of Hair : Sleek Fashion Idol 101

Bowler Baby!

Saturday, 28 May 2011



Yesterday I spent the day with my friend Rachel! We had been going on for ages about having a day out, and since we both had a break from school, we decided to!

We went for lunch (Chinese, YUM!), then had a little walk round the city. Rachel is so fun to be around, we have soo much in common, it's quite scary! She also doesn't mind messing around taking pictures in public, with an audience of on looking passers by! haha! 

Take a look at Rachel's Outfit Here and her Blog Here! :)

We ended up at the Cinema after our walk about, and we saw Pirates of The Caribbean 4, which was pretty good, however I would have loved Orlando Bloom to gawk at! lol! ..xo

Bowler : Vintage
Camisole : Primark
Harem Pants : Primark
Belt : Primark
Sandals : Topshop
Bag : Topshop
Cuff, Ring & Things : Topshop, Gift Girls
Nail Polish : I-Jay, Filthy Gorgeous Polish

Cherry!

Thursday, 26 May 2011



Do you remember how much I raved on about Ruby Woo? Well I totally feel the same way about Cherry !! Cherry is a lipliner by MAC that has a creamy texture, and feels very moisturising on my lips! Love it!! I have it on today! :)

As far as exams go, I've had two, and the next one is on the 7th of june, so I get a little time to play a bit..shhh! lol!

Here's what I wore today, a little playful ensemble! I snapped it up, just as the rain stopped! It started again once I came back in!! Ugh This weather...bipolar much? lol!

How are you?

Up to my neck with revision! Meh. Thought I'd post some pictures of Killer Heels I'm digging at the moment. What do you think of the whole sock/heel trend? I kinda like it!

Hope you're having a good weekend! :)

Satchel, £5.

Oh Primark, you have done it again.
I spotted this cute satchel while browsing around the store yesterday, and I immediately thought of Céline's Spring Summer 11 collection of Shoulder Satchels (Pictured Below).

The Primark one has sort of a vintage look, but bares a slight resemblance in shape and size to Céline's.
How divine do these look though? I especially like the Yellow one!

A Shop & Tell Video will be filmed and uploaded to Youtube once I get home from Uni later, so make sure you subscribe to to be updated! :) ..xo

It's all thanks to the lovely Geneva for her amazing DIY posts! I was inspired, decided to give it a go and tadaaa!! To see the original DIY post of how to go about making your own, Click Here!

I'm back in Nottingham now, went into town to run a few errands and schtuff! The weather was so funny, one minute overcast the next sunny. Way to make a girl feel clueless as to what to wear!! Lol!
Thought this ensemble was suitable, however! :)

Sorry there aren't any 'details' shots, as these where spur of the moment photos taken after the MAC Event (blogging about that next) by the lovely Livia, thank you girl!
I have another Skirt and Two Bustiers from BR that I can't wait to show you!

Happy Friday! :)
