Style Me!

Hello 

This weekend started as a bit of a let down which i'll quickly explain, so basically i was supposed to go out for Halloween with my friends, but due to illness and lack of money we decided just to not bother! So, needless to say, Saturday was a total bore until my boyfriend got back from a football game and we decided to go out for some strawberry margaritas and fajitas! I didn't get a picture of my outfit but i did get a picture of my posing mug:

Major cheesing..

Anyway, on Sunday, we went shopping in Glasgow. I didn't take too much money with me as i knew i would just spend it all so i just picked up a few pieces and decided to do a style me with one of them!

Basically, i'm going to show you a dress i bought from H&M and i'm going to pick pieces i own that i would wear with it to dress it up for a night look, and down for a day look.. Then i want you to tell me how you would style it!

I am unable to find the dress on the H&M website so i'm just going to use my own pictures and hope it portrays it as beautiful as it actually is!






Lighting again was not on my side so the photos show the dress a blueish colour up close when in reality it is more of a foresty, emerald green. I never go for green, in fact i hardly own any but i loved this dress!

So, onto styling it. For a day look, i decided that i would style it like this:


I've added a brown belt (New Look) to make the dress more casual, a brown handbag (vintage) and black studded flats (Primark). Since it is winter now in the UK i would probably throw my leather jacket or black blazer on over and maybe a scarf or snood and some black tights!

Now for night!


So for a night look i decided to pair the dress with my glittery stiletto heeled shoes (Schuh), matching clutch bag (Matalan) and diamante studded belt (River Island). I would probably throw my black blazer on too just to get to where ever i was going :).

Hope you like this type of post because i really enjoy doing them.

Current Top 10 Dress Picks!

Hello 

I am in love with every single dress in every shop i see these days (as usual) so i thought i would pick my current top 10 and share them with you!
I picked my top 10 from high street shops current season collections. I tried to pick from different retailers, differing styles and different price ranges so, these are the beautiful dresses i eventually decided on:


Top Row, from Left to Right:
Mini PU Peplum Dress £39.00; Miss Selfridge
Kloudin Sequin Detail Skater Dress £33.99; Missguided
Limited Edition Embellished Bodycon Dress £180; Topshop
Bottom Row, from Left to Right:
Karen Millen Draped Front Jersey Dress £140; ASOS
Ax Paris Aubergine Peplum £25; New Look
Motel Pearl Strapless Skater Dress in Rosa Print £42; Motelrocks.com

Top Three Runners Up:
Lipsy Flock Effect Bodycon Dress £60; ASOS
Swing Dress with Dipped Hem in Red £45; ASOS
Black Flocked Mesh Bodycon Dress £35; River Island

And, my personal winner!:

Lipsy Peplum £65.

 I picked Lipsy peplum dress as my No 1 because red is currently my favorite clothing colour for A/W and i think it goes well with my skin tone and dark hair. This dress would go perfectly with a pair of plain black heels as the dress is bright enough, and enough of a statement, that understated shoes would really compliment it. 

I am absolutely in love with all of these dresses and would buy every single one of them if i had the money to! Also if you can't tell already, i am completely obsessed with peplum, mesh and sequins..... i can't help myself!

Do you like or have any of these?
What are your current favorite dress styles?
