Handmade Underwear by Emma Brown *

24 March 2015

Recently I was sent some lovely pieces of handmade lacy undies to try out. I have been a big fan of Emma Brown in the past and featured some of her other pieces in this OOTD post here where I wore her velvet bralet under a sheer jumper, so I was extremely happy when I was able to get more of her gorgeous designs. 

I received a longline black lace bralet. The top is mainly made form sheer black floral lace, but has a jersey under layer in the cups to hide anything you don't want to be seen. This piece is also available in a slightly shorter length if you are wanting it more cropped.



The top is a great length and I think it could not only be worn as underwear, or older a cute crop top (as seen on Emma herself below) but also as a top in the summer or even on a night out. It also comes in white, red, nude, blue and pale pink and is £10 on its own or £15 with a matching pair of lace knickers.

I also received this gorgeous lace overlay set in white. The bra and knickers are made from a nude mesh with your choice of colour lace on top (white, red or black) The lace is not only super pretty, but it also doubles up as a cover so again, nothing which you don't want to be seen is poking through!



These types of bras are really comfortable as they aren't wired. This unfortunately means that they don't give as much support as a regular bra, but if you have smaller boobs, they provide just enough! This set is only £17 and can be made with either a matching pair of brief-style pants or a thong.

And finally, I got a heart appliqué set. This set is the most daring, but also the most quirky from her designs! I love it! This set is made from a white mesh (or black if you choose) with a black, white or red heart appliqué nipple cover. The matching knickers also have an appliqué heart on the front and back, which is really cute!! This set is also £17 but often sells out quite quickly, so get it while you can!



This set is really comfortable and looks great under a sightly translucent white tshirt! I may do a lookbook featuring some of these pieces as they look great not only as underwear, but when they are worn to be visible too! Also, sorry if this last photo is slightly revealing! I just wanted to show off how cute the pants are with the little appliqué heart!

What I Wore to a Christening

13 March 2015

Recently I went to my youngest niece's christening and I thought I would show you what I wore. The day was lovely and the food was delicious! After the church, the party bit was in an italian restaurant so we had a feast of different pasta and pizza, as well as other italian goodies and cake! 


I wore this dark green velvet dress from Missguided with a jewelled belt which I found in a charity shop. The belt has pink, white, blue and green stones in so I thought it brought the green dress and pink coat together perfectly! It also added a bit of sparkle to an otherwise plain dress!


It was a bit chilly on the day so I chose to wear my oversized pink coat (as seen in a lot of my recent OOTDs) Although I wouldn't usually put pink and green together, I think these shades work really well! I also finished the look with my paisley Jeffrey Campell dupes! 


Dress - Missguided - £19.99
(sold out in green, still available in burgundy here)
Coat - Primark - £22
Shoes - Ebay - £15
Belt - Charity Shop - £3

OOTD - Pastels and Chunky Boots

15 February 2015

Hello!! Recently, I visited a fashion exhibition at Bowes Museum. The exhibition showed fashion made with feathers and included pieces from Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Prada and Gucci.It was a really windy and quite cold day, but I wanted to show off my new boots (and rest of the outfit!)



As you can see from the photos it was really windy! So in most of my photos I am laughing at my hair getting in the way of my face whilst the photos were being took! 


I wore my favourite slumpy, oversized pink coat from Primark. I have mentioned this in a few of my other OOTD posts, but it is just so comfy and warm! And it adds a pop of colur into my otherwise black and white outfits! I also wore a fluffy white cropped jumper and high waisted jeans from Topshop and these amazing chunky boots from Missguided.



These boots are surprisingly comfortable considering they are really high. The platform is  4.5cm and the heel is 10.5cm, meaning that the height of the show is actually 6cm, which is a pretty wearable height for everyday use. They are also very lightweight as the soles are made from a thick foam type material rather than rubber, like other chunky boots, meaning they aren't giving you a workout as you wander about! They are also in the sale! Bonus points!!!

Coat - Primark - £25
Jumper - Topshop - £20 (sold out : alternatives here)

OOTD - Alexander Wang and Daisy Jeans

23 January 2015

I'M BACK! This time I definitely am too! Its been like a month since the last time I blogged as I'v just been really busy (and a bit lazy) but I'm here and I'll stick properly to blogging as often as I can! 

Here's what I wore today, its been surprisingly warm (well not warm but not freezing!!) for it being January in England, so I took the opportunity to wear my favourite jeans ever! 


With the jeans, I also wore my Alaxander Wang for H&M crop top. I loved all of his collection and managed to get my hands on a dress, a sports crop top and this top. 



Obviously if I was to go outside, I'd put on a coat. I wore my oversized pink one from Primark. Unfortunately I haven't got a picture with that as I wore it to go into university, but I'm pretty sure you'll have seen the one I mean. Everyone and their mam has this coat! 


Top - Alexander Wang / H&M - £29.99 (sold out)
Jeans - Vintage - £12 
Belt - Newlook - £6 (sold out : alternative here)
Boots - Primark - £15
