OOTD: River Island Navy Wrap Front Belted Jump Suit

OOTD: River Island Navy Wrap Front Belted Jump Suit

River Island Navy Wrap Front Belted Jump Suit

Hi Guys! Hope everyone's enjoying this sunny day :) Well if you're in London that is. As usual with my outfit posts, this isn't actually the outfit I wore today, in fact I took these pictures quite a while back but then I had a break from blogging as I didn't have any WIFI. Anyway I bought this jumpsuit when I was in Amsterdam, which was a stupid choice for two reasons.. first one being it was already expensive (for high street) and it cost even more in Amsterdam lol. Also, I am too comfy these days and even though this might look comfortable- it isn't leggins, stretchy jeans or a maxi dress so I haven't really worn it that much. 

River Island Navy Wrap Front Belted Jump Suit

River Island Navy Wrap Front Belted Jump Suit, £45: I do really like it though and I think it is a perfect piece for spring. But if you live in London you know that we got spring, summer and winter all in the same week sometimes!

SheLikes Fleur Pleated Skater Dress In Peach

SheLikes Fleur Pleated Skater Dress In Peach

I recently had the change to select an items from the online clothing store www.shelikes.com. I hadn't actually ordered from them before but I literally loved everything I saw on the site. I ended up choosing this pleated skater dress in the colour peach because I don't actually have many dresses, and I thought it'd be a nice summer dress. They sell loads of cute dresses and other things for prices similar to H&M, so in other words they are really affordable. I'm definitely going to order from them in the future. Oh, and you get 25% with UNI days! :) 

Here is a little information about the store: "Shelikes aims to be the one stop global online shop for the free thinking & trend led fashionista's. Since 2011, Shelikes has been providing super stylish & affordable women's fashion, shoes & accessories. We know how important it is to be on top of the trend as soon as it hits, so brand new designer inspired styles and concepts are added daily. "





So the dress is pleated, made of polyester and has a zip in the back which you can see in the pictures below. I am 5.8 and I am wearing a size 10. It is also available in black, here.



What do you think of this dress? Have you ordered from SheLikes.com before?

Date Night/Going Out Outfit Featuring George By Asda G21 Sheer Panel Midi Dress

George By Asda G21 Sheer Panel Midi Dress

George By Asda G21 Sheer Panel Midi Dress

So I was kindly sent this dress for a Valentine's day look. However, I've recently moved and I am not receiving all my post to my new address, so I didn't get the dress until a couple of weeks after valentines day. I love fitted midi dresses and I really loved the fact this had some sheer/transparent details. So as it is no longer Valentine's day, I thought I'd do a going out/date night outfit instead. Obviously was not going out exactly when this picture was taken so excuse the plain makeup and hair do. 

George By Asda G21 Sheer Panel Midi Dress

After picking the dress, I was sent one piece of matching jewellery, and they chose this bracelet. I don't usually wear silver, at all, but I think this bracelet is really cute and I happened to have a pair of matching earrings.

Outfit Of Today: Parental Advisory Jumper

If you follow me on my Instagram you've probably already seen this (these) pictures, and if you don't- go and follow me here. I am definitely going to start posting more outfit pictures as I am living in a different place where I've got someone close to me who can take my pictures, so stay tuned for at least weekly outfits starting with this one. :)


This is what I was wearing one day but the pics are clearly just from the fitting room, I just had to get this Parental Advisory jumper from Primark after seeing it on pretty Stephs blog.

Furr Cardigan and Leather Trouser Autumn Outfit Post

Furr Cardigan and Leather Trouser Autumn Outfit Post

Hi everyone! I hope you had a nice Christmas. I just wanted to share a little outfit post with some pictures that me and my friend took a while back. Nothing special we were both wearing pretty casual autumn outfits and didn't plan to take pics before hands, but my friend happened to have a great spot to take pics so my visit to hers turned into a little photo session haha.
Check out my other fashion posts here & outfit posts here.


Yes, I am aware that my eyes are closed in this picture but I am the kind of person who, if I am trying to not close my eyes- I will. Lol we asked some girl to take this picture and she literally took over 5 pictures, for all of which I tried (and failed) to not close my eyes. As this is the only pic of me and my friend, this will do anyway.


|| Zara: Furr Collar Cardigan || Bershka: Leather Trousers || New Look: Black Golden Zip Boots || Zara: Beige Shopper Bag ||

I believe my friend's leather trousers are from Zara, and she is wearing those trainer wedges from Nike (no we did not plan to wear almost the same trousers lol). Check out my friend's food blog here.


Do you like or dislike outfit posts in my blog? 
When I started off I actually mainly put up outfit posts, and not so much beauty posts.

Cavells Fashion Wish List Collage

Cavells Fashion Wish List Collage


MICHAEL KORS CYNTHIA MEDIUM SATCHEL || VELVET LONG SLEEVE PEPLUM TOP || OUI PANELLED PENCIL SKIRT || PAOLIBALLERINA SUEDE SLIPPER SHOE || CONTINENTAL ZIP PURSE || 

So I am back with another fashion collage post. This time I've picked my favourites from the online fashion store Cavells.co.uk. I absolutely love a nice pink leather purse, in fact, it's the only type of purse I've had for the last like 5 years or so. This one is from Mikael Kors and I haven't had that one yet but it's so cute. Even thought it's winter now the rest of the items are probably more suitable for spring, so hey, something to look forward to.

Some info about Cavells: "Founded in 1993 Cavells has evolved into one of the most successful independent fashion stores in the UK. Cavells provides some of the most stylish and selected shopping for men and women outside London. The store stocks over 100 brands including Marc Cain, Oui, Mulberry, Paul Smith, Gant and Ralph Lauren with over 30 brands devoted to footwear and accessories. Visit Cavells for the ultimate shopping experience."

Which one is your favourite?
Do you have Mikael Kors bag or Purse?

House of Fraser Spring/Summer 2014 Fashion Preview

House of Fraser Spring/Summer 2014 Fashion Preview

I attend this a few weeks back and saw a lot of pieces that I liked. I did share quite a few pictures on my Instagram but I do understand that not everyone who follows my blog, follows my Instagram so I thought I'd share some picture in a blog post as well. For those who are not from the UK, House of Fraser is a department store who sells all kinds of things, but this was a preview of their coming fashion items.

Again, if you follow my Instagram you might have noticed my new found love for pattern trousers and I thought these were really cute. Of course I absolutely love Chunky necklaces and who doesn't love a nice leather jacket. I'd actually really love to buy one of these for spring, as I only own black leather jackets so far.


They had tons of pretty bag, mostly designer ones so definitely not in my usual price range lol! I am pretty sure you recognise the brand of the top one, and the two bottoms ones are from Biba- a brand I really like, my purse is from there and they've got really cute bags. As you most probably know as you are on my blog which is called "Pink and Leopard Prints", I do love a good leopard print and adore the Biba leopard print bag bottom left. 


I love the way they arranged the bags at the top, such pretty prints! 


This drink was soo nice, it was a non alcoholic cocktail and the mint made it taste so yummy :)

What are you favourites from the preview, out of these ones?

Designer Desirables Fashion Wish List

Fashion Favourites from Designer Desirables 

Today I've got another fashion collage/wish list for you guys. It is from the website Designer Desirables. Here is some info about the company from their website: 

"Designer Desirables specialises in an extensive range of designer labels for stylish women. We have a gorgeous selection of Designer Clothing, Designer DressesShoesHandbags & Accessories to suit every taste & every occasion. Life is too short to accept anything less than the best and at Designer Desirables we strive to offer you just that... "the best"


Designer Desirables Fashion Collage, midi dress, cut out dress, midi skirt






Love Maxi Dress Jade Jersey Cut Out Column Maxi || Tempest Pam Yellow High Waist Pencil Skirt || Designer Desirables Dark Grey Jersey Ruched T-Shirt Dress ||  Designer Desirables Ox Blood Stretch Jersey Pencil Skirt ||  Finders Keepers White Moon Neon Sunny Lime Top || Finders Keepers Last Time Cream High Waisted Tailored Pants || Gugustar Gold Tone Large Pink Stone Cuff || Gugustar Black Gold & Grey Teardrop Choker Necklace ||  Lola Cruz Taupe Leather Gold Heel Shoes ||

Yes, I am definitely denying the fact that it is autumn and super cold in the UK. Luckily all of my readers are not from the UK and hopefully some of you have got some decent weather. Either way these were my favourites from Designer Desirables, and you could still wear all of these for autumn by layering or simply wearing them for going out!

If you follow me on Instagram you know I love midi skirts, which is why I have included two in this collage. The bright yellow one is from the brand Tempest and they have loads of going out skirts and dresses which you can check out here.

Other than that my favourites are the light grey midi dress, the red midi skirt and the white trousers (I have been loving this model of trousers lately).

Anna Lou of London Bespoke Personalised 18k Gold Plated Sterling Silver Jewellery

Anna Lou of London Bespoke Personalised 18k Gold Plated Sterling Silver Jewellery

Anna Lou Bespoke Personalised 18k Gold Plated Sterling Silver Jewellery
So I when I visited the Handpicked Media London Fashion Week suite, Anna Lou was one of the brands I was introduced to. I found it really interesting that when Anna started her brand she was selling her jewellery at Portobello Market, which is a place I often go to. If I remember correctly she was then discovered by the store Harvey Nichols - which is pretty cool!


Anna Lou Bespoke Personalised 18k Gold Plated Sterling Silver Jewellery

Anna Lou has loads of different styles to her jewellery, but my favourites were the simple, classic gold pieces (which you can see more of here, in my Handpicked Media Suite post) . Luckily for me, Anna kindly offered us bloggers our own personalised piece of her Bespoke Jewellery. Bespoke jewellery is a range where she offers personalised silver, gold plated or rose gold plated jewellery. I'd say these are perfect now for gift season! :)

Anna Lou Bespoke Personalised 18k Gold Plated Sterling Silver Jewellery

I choose to just put my own initials on one side, and my star sign (pisces) on the other sign. If you go on her website, you can choose different style fonts, individual letters or whole words for your piece of jewellery.

Anna Lou Bespoke Personalised 18k Gold Plated Sterling Silver Jewellery

Even though I love jewellery, I don't own that many pieces as I tend to be stingy with buying it, resulting in jewellery that just breaks after a while. I would definitely recommend the bespoke range as they are good quality jewellery and perfect every day pieces. I haven't taken mine off since I got it!

What do you think of the piece I chose?
What would you choose if you got your own personalised jewellery?

Serene Order Fashion Collage

Serene Order Fashion Collage

So today I have got another fashion collage for you, with clothes from the website Serene Order. A little different as my fashion collages or wish list usually feature really colourful clothes lol. Anyway, they are all quite pricey items as this website stocks a lot of branded pieces of clothing. Here is a little bit of info about the website:

"Here at Serene Order we don't believe in following fashion, we believe in making fashion and we have a flair for finding fresh, unknown labels that appeal to our trend-setting clientele. We also make sure to provide an eclectic mix of cutting edge fashion and big brands which gives customers fresh inspiration on every visit to our store."

If you know me in real life or follow me on Instagram, you have probably noticed that I wear dresses or skirts most of the time and I have to say this dress is my favourite from this collage. I love the details in the back!

Which one is your favourite?

The Evolution of Festival Fashion by New Look & Urban Styled Fashion Collage

The Evolution of Festival Fashion by New Look & Urban Styled Fashion Collage


Hi Everyone! Today I have got an outfit collage for you. My favourite clothing store, New Look, has come up with a sort of festival-fashion time line. It shows the main style for 10 different years, ranging from 1969-2013. For 2008 they picked the style Urban/Hip Hop as a few Hip Hop acts (such as Jay-Z and Dizzee Rascal) performed at Glastonbury! If you are into festivals you might know that there was some controversy surrounding that when Noel Gallagher said "Hip Hop does not belong at festivals", personally I think it does- I think there should be something for everyone.The Evolution of Festival Fashion by New Look & Urban Styled Fashion Collage

This outfit is something I would definitely wear to a festival. I have my favourite chain necklace (with the leopard thing in the middle, see here) from New Look already, I have a similar crop top and I have a burgundy skirt!

|| New Look Cream Floral Lace High Neck Crop Top || New Look Burgundy Floral Jacquard Tube Mini Skirt || New Look Limited Gold Square Pendant Chunky Chain Necklace || New Look Navy Suede Fringe Back Pack ||

Festival Fashion Timeline by New Look

Check out my other outfit posts here. Funnily enough, my last two outfit were both wearing either Only New Look clothes, or mainly New Look clothes.

What is your favourite year and style from this time line?

Do you think Hip Hop belongs at festivals, or do you think that only one type of music should be allowed?

♥ Lovarni High Neck Midi Dress Sleeveless Grey

Outfit: Lovarni High Neck Midi Dress Sleeveless Grey

Finally I've got an outfit post for you! I just realised that I should have taken pictures of the whole outfit (which was only a big furr cardigan on top of this, but still). I'm so excited to share this as this is the first time I've got the chance to wear my midi dress from Lovarni (direct link). As you could read in this post, I love the turtle neck trend and I've been wanting a crop top or midi dress with a turtle neck for really long. So when I got the chance to "review" and item from www.lovarni.com I did not hesitate when I chose this one.

Lovarni High Neck Midi Dress Sleeveless Grey

"Lovarni is an independent online womens fashion retailer." .."Lovarni has all their latest styles and with next day delivery you really can make sure you are the first to be wearing them!"- Info  from their website & facebook. Their: Twitter & Facebook.

Lovarni High Neck Midi Dress Sleeveless Grey

This dress is super stretchy, but it was super tight the first time I tried it. However after a while it was very comfortable. It is definitely fitted, but I feel like it's just a tad too long for my liking, hence the crease. Plus I am quite tall (5'7 or 8) so I'm just thinking that it might be a little too tall if you are super short. I am wearing a size 10 I think.

What do you think of this outfit & dress?
Have you got a similar one :) 
If so, link your blog post.

♥ Gold Chain Necklace & Peplum Top

New Look Gold Chain Necklace & Peplum Top



I had forgotten to show these pieces of clothing that I got when I met lovely Nicole from Nicole's Beauty & also got some beauty goodies like the Garnier Scrub, Purple La Colors lipstick & eyeshadows from the same brand, see this post here. Lately I had become a little obsessed with finding a chunky gold necklace like the one above, I really wanted the "plasticy" chunkier one. But after finding so many options in New Look I settled for this as it was a little different, with the tiger, I was about to say- I suppose it's a leopard or something. 

My blog was definitely never a fashion blog, nor was it intended to be but let's just say when I started blogging, I posted more outfits than beauty items. Only reason I don't is because I just don't shop a lot anymore. Can you believe that lol, I have to force myself to go shopping more.






About a year late on the peplum top trend but I thought this was a great every day top (and it was cheap). Same goes for the jeggings. 


What are your most recent fashion purchases? :)

♥ Outfit/Review of Shoebou Leather Studded Ankle Boots

Review: Shoebou Leather Look Stud Heel Detail Tassle Zip Boot Black


I am really excited to share and outfit post with you guys today, it's been too long! You can check out my other outfit posts here.

This post is also a review for these Shoebou boots, which I've shown before in a "new-in" post here. I was contacted a while ago about doing a review on a pair of shoes from http://www.shoebou.com, and these were my favourites!

I would definitely recommend ordering from Shoebou, the delivery was very quick, they've got all the latest trends in for really affordable prices. Here is a bit of info on them from their website:

"Shoebou is one of the UK’s fastest growing online retailers of women’s fashion shoes at affordable prices. Shoebou provide a wide selection of catwalk inspired and trend led shoes, heels, flats, sandals, wedges and boots with ranges constantly updated."


These boots also come in beige leather, and black suede- for the great price of £22.99.


My outfit:



My thoughts on the boots;
I am really happy with my choice and I definitely think these are perfect everyday boots. The heels are not too tall, nor to short and they are very comfortable to walk in. Even though the heel is twice as tall as these brown boots, they feel just as comfortable.

What do you think of this outfit &
 the shoes?

Fashion Collage: The Turtleneck Crop Top




I am sure I am not the only one to be really sick of the winter right now. Today, it isn't raining or snowing- there is a freaking tornado (okey the weather is a bit more windy than usually). Anyway, I need to start sharing my fashion collages again so here you go.

I know this is far from a new trend, but I really love all of these, just haven't got around to buying one. When the summer comes I will definitely be stocking up on these :)

You can find all of these here from Misguided.
