A-Z A/W trends 2015 -Heels

November 12, 2015 ijaykheavens 2 Comments

Today we are talking HEELS,
I don’t just mean any type of heel, but block , chunky heels.
I am so glad these are hot off the runway.

As a tall and plus size woman I find that there is alot of strain on my knees and wearing heels can often make this worse. I can’t bring myself to do away with my heels but whenever I can I prefer to opt for a chunky heel instead.

Check out how these are worn in the a/w 2015 fashion show.

These boots from Lanvin were made for talking. You know they will be supper comfortable with those chunky heels.

I am also a huge fan these shoes from Anthony Vaccarello. Bling on shoes feature several times on the runway this season.

The barely off the ground sparkly shoes from Mui Mui are the business. I wouldn’t be rushing out to buy these but you see where am going with this trend.

Check out a few of my favourite heels that I have been able to showcase all thanks to Polyvore .

Who prefers to stay in the comfort zone even when wearing heels? 🙋🙋🙋🙋Meeeee!!!

Stay tuned for trend ‘I’ tomorrow.

A-Z A/W trends 2015 – Fur

November 10, 2015 ijaykheavens 3 Comments

Fur, Fur, Fur, Fur I can’t say it enough.
It’s huge this autumn/winter and it’s looking better than ever.

I love that you can wear fur in soo many different ways.
FAUX FUR STOLE totally looks amazing on the runway. I can see myself wearing this style as I parade MY runway(Oxford circus)

If you are like me and wondered how the fur would stay on the shoulder.Well….Note the belt around the waist used as both as an accessory and to hold the fur from falling off the shoulder.

FUX FUR JACKETS

I have even seen fur shoes. These quirky KG shoes are rather cute. Check out the heels too.

A-Z A/W trends 2015- Elegance

November 9, 2015 ijaykheavens Leave a comment

So its time to pull out your pretty blouse and cashmere cardigans.
It can be difficult to maintain femininity in such a male dominated society. However, pencil shirts and leather glove are a good way to start.

My absolute favourite is this look from Peter Pilotto The detail on that blouse is everything

I can’t help but notice that all these lovely blouses are worn with A-line skirts.

Stay tuned for trend ‘F’ tomorrow.

So this is every ladies MUST have. What I love about the Camel coats is that they are just so classy and elegant. For the most part you can wear it season after seaons after seaons.

Max Mara have a great collection of camel coats. These 👇 being some of my favourites. I love that there coats are slightly on the longer side. Perfect for the vertical blessed.

Check on it – Winter Coat for the Tall

October 30, 2015 ijaykheavens Leave a comment

Hey Guys,

Although the October weather has been pretty mild here in the UK, I know that the blistering COLD is on its way. I have taken it upon myself to start my winter Coat hunt now!

Ladies you know how difficult it is to find a good tall coat, one that is not sold out. I did some of the leg work and will be sharing some of my fav finds here over the next few weeks.

I start with this Charcoal Plaid Boy Friend fit Coat from Dorothy Perkins.

I will be the first to say that this Coat does not look very appealing on the site. Unfortunately since we do not much choice but to shop online, I had to take a chance. Ladies do not be afraid to take a chance!

This boyfriend fit coat is fierce. Totally different to anything in my wardrobe. A great variety if your looking for something to spice up your wardrobe.

I particularly love that I can turn up the sleeves and for the first time it is not because the sleeves are too short.

So there you have it. What do you think of this Coat. Would you wear it ? Would you buy it ?

In case your wondering about the rest of my outfit. Details below.

Anatomy of the 70’s fashion

October 23, 2015 ijaykheavens 2 Comments

The seventies is definitely before my time but I really enjoy experimenting with different looks and fashions from different era’s.

I am breaking down this look to share how I achieved it. Enjoy !

For the times when you cant afford a real SUEDE skirt, … a suedette one from New look will do just fine. See, you couldn’t even tell the difference. 😀

I also really like the fit of this over the knee boots, not only does it got over my calf ( yes thats a common issue for me) but it also fits my tights.

Ultimately, this look has a element of fun and sophisticated chic about it. Day or Night you cant go wrong!

Timeless… Monochrome

October 17, 2015 ijaykheavens Leave a comment

Just when you think something is going out of fashion and BOOM it comes back bigger than ever.

There are no fancy words needed monochrome is….

Timeless

Perfect for most occasions and that “ohh so chic look ”

To achieve this look I threw on this sleeveless duster coat onto what would have been an all black looks.
Interesting how it completely changes things up.

Thought I had better warn you.. I have been living in my turtle neck/ roll neck as the weather changes. It looks so trendy. .. even If I say so myself. You will be seeing more of this.

Don’t you just love the swoooshhh of these duster jackets.💨💨💨💨

Dearest Topshop… Thank YOU !!

October 11, 2015 ijaykheavens Leave a comment

Dear Topshop,

I just want to say

Thank you.

Thank you for still having a tall section in a majority of your stores. To often have I seen the tall section shunted to the tiny corner (usually at the very back of the store), you will be lucky if you find a rack of tall clothing in the stores who have a tall range. In many cases its totally non existent…. zero… zilch…nadah…diddly-squat.
As if we tall ladies do not matter or exist.
“Am so sorry you can only shop the range online now”.
“The full collection is only online”

We only exist in cyber space !

No it’s not the largest collection nor the most trendy but my god is it refreshing to see.

Ok…. rant over
Bye 😚😚

Kisses

NEWS- Dorothy perkins goes plus size

October 9, 2015 ijaykheavens Leave a comment

Three cheers for Dorothy Perkins. woop woop woop.

I hope I am not the only one that’s excited about this new development. I have been a HUGH fan for Dorothy Perkins. I remember being in school and never being able to get trousers to fit my long legs. Dorothy Perkins was the only shop that could save me from wearing skirts in the winter because I could not find black trousers to fit. I remain loyal to them for that very reason.

Check out some of my favs from the new range.

You know I love sparkly things so this top is so up my street. Looks a perfect length too.

Am sorry, its another sparkly number. But this time with a little shoulder sexyness. hehehe

I have chosen this dress because checks are totally trending this season. The model wore it exceptionally well.

I have real reason for choosing this skirt as my final piece other than it just looks awesome.

A Tall and plus size thumbs up to DP for this fabulous collection. The only down side is that I would have loved to see more colour in the range. If you ask me they played it safe.

Till next time xx

Bright Hues

October 9, 2015 ijaykheavens 4 Comments

Sooooo a few weeks ago I become a Godmother for the very first time. Not totally sure what this new role would entail but I am completely humbled and over joyed to have even been considered. In a rather shallow manner “what to wear” was one of the first things on my mind💭💭💭💭. Yes this topic was phone conversation worthy and I am glad that wearing white was ruled out early on in the conversation. And then it hit me….

Bright hues would be brilliant for a baptism

There you have it, todays look was born.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I have been looking for a yellow blazer this shade for the longest, well, since I saw Gabrielle Union looking fabulous in one on season 1 of BMJ. Then I spotted this beauty in my local Topshop on the sales aisle. The icing on the cake was when I noticed that it was TALLLLL!!! ( Winning 👌👌🙌😄)

Not a bad match huh?

Let me know your thought on this look… you likie?
