Not Another Awards Show Post

I'm afraid so! I wasn't planning on doing a who wore what style post, especially since none of the fashion on display at last nights BAFTAs really appealed to me. But once I saw some of the pictures from the 2012 Grammy Awards (also held last night), I was much more impressed and felt the need to share some of my favourites:

Corrine Bailey Rae

Katy Perry

Carrie Underwood

Bruno Mars

Kings of Leon

I'd also like to apologise for my lack of posting last week, it was an unexpectedly busy one, so unfortunately blogging was put on the back burner. This coming week looks like it's going to be just as busy, I'm starting my new job tomorrow, followed by a visit to Nottingham at the weekend to see family and friends, which I'm super excited about! But I promise this sporadic style of posting is only temporary and will not be a regular occurrence!

What do you all think of awards show fashion so far this year?

Currently Coveting: Dahlia

All dresses and shirts shown: Dahlia

Oh wow! I can't get over how much I adore Dahlia's lastest spring drops. I've been admiring their clothes for longer than I can remember and this season looks set to be as great as ever. Dahlia clothes always have a very girly and vintage feel to them, which I love, and the devil is definitely in the detail as each piece has it's own little quirks which help to make it special. Like the pussy bow on the orange blouse or the scalloped detailing on the polka dot dress, just gorgeous.

I can't wait to see what other great designs Dahlia comes out with this season. I only have one problem, deciding which piece I want to buy the most! Eenie meenie minie mo...

Spotlight On: Love

All Items shown: Love

Happy February everyone! May I start the month by introducing 'Spotlight On'. I decided it was about time I started some regular features on my blog so every month I'll be bringing you my favourite clothing brand of the moment and telling you exactly why I think they're so ace.

Kicking things off is Love (or In Love With Fashion if you prefer). I adore their range of colours, luxurious fabrics and on-trend designs, making them a must-have for every girls wardrobe. The black wrap-over dress stands out for me as I think it would be so versatile and the maroon fishtail maxi dress is to die for!

If you like what you see and read so far then their website is well worth a look. Go and find yourself a new favourite.

Dot-To-Dot

Shirt, bag& leggings: Miss Selfridge  Shorts: Oasis  Boots: Topshop



Firstly, apologies for the bad (and slightly bizarre) lighting in these pictures, after what seemed like a lifetime of brightness/ contrast adjusting I had to accept this was the best they were going to get. Winter and photo taking definitely aren't compatible, so there's yet another reason to look forward to summer. (As if there weren't enough already!)

Anyway, polka dots have taken over from Breton stripes as my print of the moment, which you can probably tell from my choice of blog background. This shirt has quickly become my go-to piece, it's both comfortable AND stylish, which is a winning combination in my opinion. I've teamed it with my green Miss Selfridge satchel on this occasion, I love using colourful accessories to brighten up an outfit and this bag ticks all the right boxes.

Polka dots are still on trend, much to my delight, and they come in all colours and sizes, so even if you're a bit print shy, there's bound to be a piece out there that appeals to you. I've included a selection of my favourite dots and spots available on the Great British high street right now, enjoy!

Girl Crush: Mila Kunis

Some of my favourite Mila fashion moments.

Now, I've never really been one for celebrity style. I seem to get most of my inspiration from street style and other fashion blogs, but every so often I make an exception and that's where this girl comes in.

The lovely Mila Kunis has been on my radar for quite some time now and it seems she can do no wrong when it comes to fashion. Whether she's wowing us with a show stopping dress on the red carpet or she's rocking an off-duty chic look, she nails it every time.

And her work shouldn't go unmentioned either. She's a fantastic, versatile actress proving she can do serious, dramatic acting (Black Swan) as well as comedy (Friends With Benefits, Forgetting Sarah Marshall). I can't wait to see what she'll do (and wear) next.

Cold As Ice

Jumper: Miss Selfridge   Vest (Underneath): Topshop   Jeans: Warehouse   Boots: River Island

This is a bit of belated outfit post since I took it last Saturday, but thanks to an unexpectedly busy week it's going to have to be better late than never.

I'd never tried this combination before, but I quite like the dark green jeans and the yellowy/ orange jumper combination. I think it gave a very autumnal feel to what has to have been the coldest winter day I've experienced in a while. I've been in love with this jumper since I bought it, I really like the colour and it's still nice and cosy despite being slightly cropped. Wearing jumpers is probably the obly thing I enjoy about winter.

I'm hoping to post regularly next week, so keep your eyes well and truly peeled!

Electric Blue

Skirt: Miss Selfridge  Jacket: Primark  Vest: H&M  Boots: River Island

I know, I'm not the most natural of posers, but lets not dwell on that too much! I've always enjoyed reading other people's 'what I wore today' style posts,so I thought I'd give it a bash myself.

I bought this lovely blue midi skirt with some money I was lucky enough to get for Christmas. I've had my eye on it for quite some time and it definitely fits in with my 'getting out of my comfort zone' aim as I really don't own anything else like it. To say that I've got a lot of love for it is an understatement. It's a gorgeous electric blue colour and the material hangs beautifully. Plus it's oh-so versatile, I can wear it now with my trusty leather jacket and chelsea boots, but I'm really looking forward to wearing it in the summer with some sandals and a vest for a really relaxed vibe. This skirt will be a very hard-working addition to my wardrobe and it has me longing for the summer months even more than I did before (and that was a lot, by the way).
