WIYW #1

I've always been intrigued as to what is inside peoples' wardrobes.

Wouldn't you just love to have a sneak inside your favourite celebrity's wardrobe?! Well my 'What's Inside Your Wardrobe?' posts is the next best thing as I will be having a cheeky look through the wardrobes of friends and family. It would be wrong for me not to start...so here goes!

STYLE ICON: Olivia Palermo 

1) Topshop: Beaded top

'I love wearing this beaded top! The sparkle makes it perfect for parties and the colour is super flattering.'

2) H&M Skirt 

'I only recently bought this but it has become one of my favourite items. I adore how the broderie lace is a little bit longer at the bottom so if worn without tights it shows through.'

2) Miss Selfridge: Leather Jacket 

'I LIVE in my leather jacket! You will rarely see me not wearing it. I just think it is such a staple and everyone should have one!'

Wardrobe Essential: Black Ankle Boots

Black ankle boots are an essential in every girls wardrobes especially in Autumn/ Winter season! I'd been on the search for my perfect pair of black ankle boots for a few months, having already bought a pair from Topshop in the Summer then returning them because they turned out not to be exactly what I wanted.
I finally found these beauties a few weeks ago in a shop in Watford called 'Style...' which were only £35..bargain! I love the studs on the ankle which give it that added edge, and I think the heel height which measures at 2.5 inches is the perfect height for an ankle boot as it offers support for all-day wear.
I love wearing these boots with anything from pretty floral dresses, skinny jeans or high waisted shorts. They undoubtedly give any outfit that enviable downtown edge! 

What do you guys think?

STYLE CRUSH: Jade Williams

Not many people have heard of this girl, but you soon will. Jade Williams, otherwise known as Sunday Girl, is the British pop songstress whose style has helped her name become well known in the fashion industry! Her mix of classic and retro pieces have made her a style icon, with her being invited to be front row at London Fashion Week!

She has just launched her debut fashion collection in collaboration with Firetrap, which is inspired by nature and bugs. I can not wait for her collection to be unveiled..I'm sure she will not disappoint!

Summer: Part 1

I feel so ashamed at how long it has been since i've posted..but my summer has just been crazy busy. I honestly can not believe it is already September!? :o Summer: Part 1 will keep you all updated with everything i have done this summer... enjoy!

PHASE EIGHT

This summer I was lucky enough to gain 2 weeks Work Experience in the Buying and Merchandising Department of Phase Eight. I didn't really know what to expect, and i wasn't really sure what i'd be doing to help. But the B & M team were really welcoming and gave me enough jobs every day to keep me busy. The head of the department let me listen in to their 'Best Sellers Meeting' which was super cool. It was really interesting knowing what were the top buys for customers each week. 

One of my favourite parts of working in the Buying department had to be helping with Fitting Meeting. (This was where the supplier would bring in the clothes that the design team had designed, and then the model would try it on making sure it was a perfect fit and that the quality of the product was of a high standard)

The only downside was the long journey to and from the Head Office ...it took me 2 hours there AND back!! I was absolutely knackered by the end of the day. But I was pretty lucky that it was extremely sunny for the duration of 2 weeks so the walks to and from the train station wasn't too bad ;)

Overall, I loved my Work Experience at Phase Eight, and it definitely made me realise that i definitely want to be a fashion buyer as a career. 

LONDON  OLYMPICS

With the massive build up of the Olympics, London certainly didn't disappoint! The opening and closing ceremonies were Ah-Maze-Ing!! (how cool was it when the Queen played Bond Girl?!) Jessie J, Tinie Tempah, Spice Girls, Oasis, One Direction, Emelie Sande, Dizzie Rascal, Taio Cruz...Brazil are going to find it difficult to top us! The actual sport itself was incredible aswell. Remember Super Saturday when Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis and Greg Rutherford all won gold in the space of an hour in athletics!! I was sooo happy to see Tom Daley win a medal aswell in diving! I loved the fact that the olympics brought everyone close together..patriotism was at its highest for sure! Go Britain for achieving 29 gold medals! woo!!
After the Olympic Opening Ceremony my cousins and I became super excited and decided to paint our faces..here are some pictures.

P.S. Part 2 coming tomorrow 

Style Crush: Whitney Port

I think it's about time Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model judges got revamped! It just wasn't working before with Grace Woodward and Charlie Speed. They have been replaced by designer, Whitney Port and model,Tyson Beckford. Due to her arrival on the panel, i thought it was appropriate to make Whitney Port my Style Crush of the week. I always loved watching The Hills and The City, and along with Lauren Conrad (who doesn't love her?!) she was one of my favourites by far! Not only does she have incredible hair...please can i have it?! but she also has a wardrobe to die for! Although she starred in the reality hit shows, she has 100% gained her credentials, as she has her own design label, Whitney Eve. I adore all her designs, and if i had the money, there would be a whole lot of Whitney Eve in my wardrobe! I can not wait to see her on Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model!

Colour French Manicure

Recently i've been seeing these type of nails everywhere, whether it be on tumblr, blogs or in magazines, so i thought it was about time i tried it out! I used clear nail vanish as a base, and chose a hot pink Nails.Inc nail vanish for the tip. On the fourth finger i wanted to mix it up a bit with a different colour, so i used No.7 glitter purple nail vanish. I am not going to lie, this is really hard to do, if you are not a talented nail painter with both hands (which i am not *sadface*) I used a thin brush to paint the tips..and Ta Daaa...Finito!

I love how cute they look, hopefully they will last long, i would definitely recommend you try this trend out!

The finished look..
