Spring 2016 must-haves

Feeling less adventurous?
Why not break up the pyjamas inspired sets for an equally fabulously trendy look.

I ditched the wide leg trouser for a moment and opted for a pleated skirt.
The colour of this skirt is very fresh an brightens up the look.
As you can see no movement is lost with this skirt.

Ofcourse we had fun with this shot. Fighting mother nature as I hold down my hat, while keeping my bag in place and trying to strut my stuff in the middle of looking cute. 😓🙁

Anyway… I have a final take on this trend coming soon. Stay tuned.
Hope you liked this look.

Spring 2016 must-haves

Spring 2016 Must haves-Pyjamas inspired day wear (p/t1)

Leave a comment

I have not gone completely mad but yes we are talking about the escape of pyjamas. From the bedroom to the catwalk and now on your high-street.

It’s taken me a little while to get around to it but I am strangely liking this trend.
I must say that my 6ft tall frame lends itself well to this style.
Enough chit-chat pictures already …
I styled this looks this three ways. This is just part 1.
If your feeling bold, why not wear the matching top and bottom as I have done here .

Great accessories are essential here. Bangles, statements hand bags and fab shoes.
I also opted for bold lips and flawless makeup to avoid looking like I just woke up from sleep and rolled out of bed.

image

This green shoulder bag brings out the print details on this outfit and the bright pink lips makes for a great contrast.

These photos were taken on a fairly windy day and as you can see there is lots of movement in both the pants and blouse.
It’s not silk but the light polyester fabric was very cooling.
This pyjamas inspired set was bought from the trusted Marks and Spencer Autograph range.
Marks and Spencer have a long collection on certain styles. This pants were labelled long and truly the length is not bad; but it’s not for ideal for the 6ft and over club.
Fabulous shoes just about let me get away with this one.😜

Stay tuned for part 2 to see my second take on this trend/look.

Your turn…..

Yep ! You guessed it. It’s been all over the fashion shows and am loving it. The cold shoulder trend.
There is absolutely no reason not to like this trend. What is there not to like. Everyone has great shoulders regardless of your height, size, age or complexion.

Its a win win any day.

Spring 2016 must-haves

Spring 2016 must haves -Front slit skirt

2 Comments

This trend screams SEXY SPRING

Skirts are uber feminine and when you add some “thighage” you get a very sexy feminine look. This is season to flaunt your pins ladies!

I was a little worried about showing too much thick’em 🍗🍗. So I opted for a mini slit rather than a high slit skirt.

Here is how I have been wearing my front slit shirts.
PS: the slit doesn’t have to be a centre slit. Side slits are just as trendy👍

Here are a few that I’m absolutely loving. (On my wants list).

I love the print on this Michael Kors Cube print silk scarf skirt.

Till next time . See you soon.

Spring 2016 must haves – Metallics

Yes we are talking the tin man look. … not really, Well…. sort of. Put aside your previous perceptions of metallics. They are back with a strong presence this spring.
I think they are perfect for adding a little ‘umph’ to any outfit.

I love the following metallic pieces.

5 reasons why I have been In love with ASOS Sinnceee!!!!

4 Comments

image

As its Valentines day, am calling a spade a spade and laying my cards down.
I have been loving Asos for a minute.
I am always quick to embrace any tall range, but the love for Asos is very different.
Here is why:

1- I have a HUGE issue with things not fitting well. I have been a fitting model for years and it has made me obsessed with pukered or cracking stitches, garment balance etc …
It makes all the difference when cloths are fitted on various sizes and graded well. Thank you Asos for using real models and getting you grading right on most occasions and your fitting is pretty consistent 👏👏👏👏.
I know a size 16 will always fit from Asos.

2- Sadly Asos does not have a physical shop anywhere and there is nothing worse than seeing something online , ordering it only to realise it’s totally not what you expected. Thank God for the genius who came up with the Asos catwalk view. 👌.
It makes such a difference. I can see how the garment fits and moves on an actual body.

3- I get super annoyed when I have to pay for delivery.  Yes I know people shouldn’t work for free but I always place my order then remember I forgot to add an item to the basket. 😒. So I have to order again and pay for delivery all over again.  Asos on the other hand gives me free delivery so I can order and order till my card gets declined. If your impatient like me. You can gave unlimited next day delivery for just £9.99. ✔

4- I love that when I click on Asos tall, I get a variety of other tall brands .  No need to leave the site. It’s all there.  Thanks Asos for bringing tall brands together. 

Finally.. it can be a real struggle to get tall clothes that look and fit great. Am not complaining because things have improved alot from when I was a teenager.
I have to say Asos is number 1 for keeping their tall range current, upto date and restocked. As I write this post there are 450 tall styles to choose from.  Tall women  need and love choice. It just thrills me.

I really could go on and I will just mention this one last thing plssss.
Don’t you just love that Asos prices is reasonable.  I was blessed with my height. Don’t penalise me with a higher price tag JUST because the item is tall. !

Ok … thats me done 

See you soon.
✌&❤

Oh… Happy Valentines day 😉

Winter Black…How to wear Black Head to Toe ( A Tall Guide)

Leave a comment

Winter is still lingering and as much as I can almost smell Spring, the cutting cold winds just brings me right back to reality.

One great reason for wearing black in the winter is that it helps to keep me warm. Black is an insulator !

image

I was not going for the “moaning” look so I kept my clothing item light and on trend.
I love the way this hat gives this outfit a whole new dimension. Hats have a great way of making you look very stylish and “bloggaesque”

image

image

I have lived in my turtle neck tops this season. Another great and on trend piece.
Oh… and very flattering.

image

A must have for every woman is that ‘hold it all in High waisted black jeans . They are perfect for every occasion and it does wonders for concealing my muffin top.

I am wearing my thigh high boots for the appearance of even longer legs. You can hardly see the break from my jeans to my boots.

image

I kept my jewellery to a minimum so that the outfit would stand out and do all the talking .

image

That my friends is how you can wear black from head to toe and look show stoppingly fabulous.

This look takes several Ibs off me ..winning 👍

Hat – River Island
Turtle neck top – Primark
Jeans – Asos
Boots – New look
Bag – Accessories
Jacket -Topshop

See you soon ✌&❤

Why not to pack away your summer clothes in the winter

Leave a comment

Hey guys … lets talk.

image

Aside from being 50% busy and 50% lazy, I  do not always get the chance to pack away my summer clothing at the end of the season.

I now make my schedule and lasiness work for me.
I have worn my summer clothing in the winter by layer them up and it means I can get more wear out if the clothing.
This trick works wonderfully with cropped tops.

I wear it over dresses , with high waisted trousers, over shirts and here I teamed it perfectly with a denim shirt.
