Street Style: Check it Out

Heya,

Thought I would give you some style on the streets from my hometown. This is my brother (yes ladies, he's single and straight ;-)) who is wearing a gorgeous checked shirt from Soul Star and jeans from Burton. These checked shirts have been all over the highsteet for a while and are fantastic for helping proportion the body by drawing the eyes across the torso and down the body.

Let me know what you think. I've been looking at Topman/River Island and Burton recently and the highstreet really seems to be lacking a real fashion presence in men's clothing at the moment.

What do you think? loving the outfit? You can now rate at the bottom of the post if you like.

Just comment in the box below to help me out :)

Spring Street Style: Mac in Time

Good afternoon my fashion divas!

Yesterday I went out to a great Mexican restaurant and my gorgeous friend was wearing a really trendy outfit which I just had to show you all.  It just shows that you can still be totally trendy on a student budget.

A cream Mac is a must for any winter to spring to summer wardrobe.  (I also have a bright red one which is lush) You can wrap up warm up by being light enough to put a jumper underneath, it protects you from the occasional April shower and is light enough to carry if it warms up a bit. If you don’t have one, buy one now, you won’t regret it!

Under her Mac she wore a sleeveless dress from Zara, with a cute pattern, and accessorised it with a thin brown belt which matched the colour of her brogues and handbag. Adding a thin belt is a great way to add shape as it focuses attention onto the slimmest part of the body, the waist.

Brogues are very trendy this season, and are another great changing season’s piece as you can wear them under trousers, or like this outfit with a skirt. Brogues are also part of the fashion trend of combining the masculine and feminine. As brogues were traditionally man’s shoes, by pairing it with a feminine dress and bright red lipstick the whole outfit is balanced, neither looking too girly or too Tom-boy.

Hope you like it as much as I did and let me know you think. Also watch out because I will be taking my camera to the streets to snap style conscious Lads and Ladies to show you all on my blog.

Wedges and Ketchup

As my nearest and dearest will know, lately I have been looking for (and obssesing over) finding myself a pair of black wedge heels. Totally wearable, they'll go with anything and they won't make your feet hurt after a night out. Sounds good eh? Easy to find? not quite! but after much searching I found this pair from New Look for £24.99.

But the real 'Ketchup' of the story is, much like a LBD, they go with anything and everything! What do you think of these outfits?

ahhhhh, what a bargain! :) This is one happy shopper! May the rest of the year follow with lots of fashion finds.

Love and cupcakes,
