You are the one that I want

Hello my lovely readers,

I hope you have been well. Today we have an outfit post as well as a review. I hope you enjoy it.

I have been searching for the 'perfect', most tight pair of skinny jeans ever, it's been a while. The inspiration that I had came from 'Grease' and I wanted a pair of jeans that would scream 'Sandy'.

Therefore, I was over the moon when Box Clothing, an upcoming online clothes shop, based in the UK contacted me to do a review. I really enjoyed their selection of clothing, all very modern with an urban feel. Box Clothing offers a great variety of well known brands and some really cool jeans too. As I wanted a pair for a while, I decided to try the Firetrap skinny jeans.


I must say, I am totally in love with them. They are exactly what I had in mind! Super tight, super skinny.
It's my first time wearing Firetrap and I am so impressed with their feel. The fabric is extremely soft, lovely to touch, you can feel the quality, therefore it feels very luxurious.

Size wise, I do find tricky to buy jeans online but those are true to their size. I am normally a waist 27 but being aware that those babies have 4% elastane, I went for a size smaller, I got the waist 26 and they could not have fit me better. They are actually more like jeggings, being quite stretchy and therefore very, very comfortable. The stitch is strong, contrasting in yellow, with nice details on the back pockets.

I also love their colour, they have a unique, almost vintage wash to them. Overall, I love them so much because they have just the right vintage look that I was after. Plus a low waist, thank God!

Price wise, I think they are very reasonable for their quality and fitting at £55.

My heart is locked

Hi guys,

Today an outfit, which I was wearing the other day. I don't wear black head to toe very often but I was feeling very monochrome, one of my ninja moments! Or maybe it's because I just wanted the star of the show to be my new Disney Couture necklace. This amazing Heart Lock necklace, for the Alice in Wonderland collection.

I totally fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. For me it's has a slightly punk appeal to it because it's a padlock, yet very romantic because it's a heart! Together with a few chains and a key, which is ohhh the cutest!

This fabulous necklace was also kindly sent to me, by Made in Wonderland. Thanks so much guys, I am really chuffed with this gorgeous gift! I have been wearing it now for days in a row and got loads of compliments.

That is why I love Disney Couture jewellery, it's so much fun, so cute and really get you noticed.

Thank you VERY much

Hi guys,



A very hot hello tonight, since the weather has been SO hot lately. I am not complaining but I am suffering loads trying to cover myself up and staying away from the sun.



Anyways, tonight I am posting my second review for Very.co.uk I have 2 great accessories which I have chosen and I am really, really delighted about them.



My first item is this fantastic skull scarf! Which I am terribly in love with. You guys know how much I love my skull scarves (I have a small collection developing, oops.) Anyhow, when I saw this one on the website , I knew it was going to be a great and wicked addition.

I also love my skulls to be different and original, I haven't seen any similar skulls to those before. The skull scarf is an ultra trendy and cool accessory which can be worn all seasons. It will surely be worn to death by me as I am a huge fan of the trend.



The scarf has also some cute details on it, like the tassels on the ends. Another thing I have noticed is that on the right side of the fabric (the correct side), the print is white with black skulls, but on the wrong side of the fabric the skulls look slightly navy blue, I must be mad to have noticed that but it's a detail which I found very pretty and I really loved it!

Nice size too, it's long and it can be worn around the neck, it's great because it's not too large so it hangs out pretty nicely too, not bulky.

My second item is this cute studded belt. I am still grieving the loss of one of my favourite belts... Therefore, I thought this one was a perfect choice to cheer me up..



This skinny belt is great for any rock chick outfit, I love the small studded details on, which goes really well with my new wedges from the Love label too. Also ideal to wear with any jeans with small belt loops, which are so common in skinny jeans in particular.



If I am wearing a long skinny belt, like this one, which goes twice around jeans, for example, I like it to look modern yet practical whilst having the belt still doing it's job.

I don't feed all the belt thought the loops, I just feed the belt through the loops once and let the second loop hanging around my waist to create a slouchy chic look. Are you with me?

Accessories are always a must! The more the merrier... in fact if they did have the scarf in different colours, I would be getting every single one of them!



Wearing today: T-shirt: Pretty Portobello Shop, Scarf, Belt & Shoes: Very.co.uk.



N.B. Very.co.uk sent me the scarf and the belt free of charge, I accepted the gifts on the understanding that if I could, if I so chose, write a unbiased review which is my own, unedited, opinion.

VERY cool post

Hi guys,



Today I am posting something VERY special!



I have already been a fan of Very.co.uk website for a while. Very stocks cool labels such as Love Label and collections like Ferne Cotton's, whose style we all adore. One happy morning, I was asked by Very.co.uk to review some products for them and I was really excited about it. Here is the first of 3 products I have chosen to review.



I just fell in love with these wedges straight away! These cool studded wedges are bang-on trend and are going to make me happy. They are so stylish and I can wear them for summer and winter too (avec socks), they will be pure rock and roll with skinny jeans and great too with tights and dresses, like I am wearing here.



Groove is the heart here with this whole vintage look. My mum, will certainly love these pictures more than anyone else, as this dress was hers originally from the 70's! Mum, is also a huge fan of head scarves and by now she is probably clapping her hands with a smile, thinking I look just like her! Teaming this whole vintage look with my new wedges from Love Label. I love how they do compliment this outfit beautifully.

I find it a little tricky to buy shoes online and therefore always read the reviews on the website about the item. I find this helpful when trying to choose which size to buy, it just gives me a slightly better idea but then I have to trust my own judgements really, difficult decisions.



So here, is my review:



As I said before, I love these shoes and I got loads of compliments when I was wearing them. The wedge style is stylish and always makes your legs look gorgeously long. They're also easy to wear and are very comfortable due the platform. They are also light, so you really can wear them for hours.

The shoes have a versatile style too, you can do 70's and flares, rock chick or just plain. Anything goes, leggings or shorts you can pick you style and go with them safely.

I wore them for a night out, after a whole day at work wearing them! I am the pickiest person about my shoes but I must say they felt amazingly comfortable. I found them to be the true size too, but if your feet are on a narrower side like mine, I believe you could get away with one size smaller.



At the moment these shoes are on sale reduced from £32 to a bargain £16! There's not what to love about them. Get yours before it goes. Trust me you won't be disappointed!



N.B. Very.co.uk sent me the shoes free of charge, I accepted the gifts on the understanding that if I could, if I so chose, write a unbiased review which is my own, unedited, opinion.


See you soon.
