FRIENDSHIP TAG!!

Hey Dolls!! hAPPY nEW yEAR!!! 

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and celebrated into the New Year with loved ones. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time off work, relaxing eating, planning... but now it's time to get back to business!!

Most make new years resolutions at the beginning of January or at least try to change a few things which is great, but unfortunately as the year progresses we sometimes get a little relaxed and the motivation wears off. NO, NO, NO!! Don't let that happen. Mentality strive for greatness!! Once you tell yourself you are going to do something there should be NO GOING BACK!!

PLAN AHEAD, FOCUS, and COMMIT!

I've decided to start this year by continuing to keep myself in check! I am doing this by no longer recycling old experiences and keeping my circle extra small.

Meet my BFF Shanelle! We had a little girl chat sharing our thoughts about the qualities people around us should possess in order to help elevate your personal growth. Take a watch :)

HAVE A GREAT WEEK KIDDIES!! Stay stylish!

1 DAY 'TIL CHRISTMAS DAY!!

MERRY GLAMOROUS EVERYONE!!

Of course I had to show out in red, ready for Christmas day, it screams FESTIVE! Tomorrow is the day to feel glam, whether you're lazing around the house, going to that annoying relative to eat Christmas lunch or actually having a fabulous event to attend, today is the day!

I feel that looking great can sometimes help you, to feel great. Choose to be positive, loving and caring, all in the joy of the celebration of Jesus' birth. Now I know some of you sensitive Sandys' will moan about the fact that you don't celebrate Christmas, never have, never will blah blah blah, but try something different this year and be joyous for no damn reason!! Give generously, smile often, let go of any grudges and choose to LOVE!

You'll find that it changes your atmosphere.

JACKET- River Island

TOP- AQAQ

LEATHER TROUSERS- EBay

SHOES- ASOS

EARRING- Topshop

As always, a great pair of high-waisted trousers are so flattering for the shape. I chose my favourite go-to leathers because of the comfort, I wanted to allow room for extra desert. I dressed them with this pale bluey/grey bodysuit to separate the heavy colours. My statement piece was my berry red jacket. It is very fitting for this occasion bringing the Christmas spirit. To tie this look in I threw on these strappy sandals. Not only are they comfortable but compliment this edgy number.

STYLE TIP- Wear red, it brings out the boldness in you! MERRIH CHRIMUH :)

2 OUTFITS 'TIL CHRISTMAS- HO HO HO

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS SHOES!

This slinky dress is a daring choice for the confident, going to THE Christmas do! It says 'I'M HERE HONEY' haha. 
A soft pink mini, with thigh high boots (for me) is doing the most lol so I toned it down by adding a faux fur gillet. Again this is a cute simple ensemble that can be accessorised to add that extra umph! A statement necklace, a bold belt, some arm jewellery are some of the ways to create more detail and glitz.

A clutch bag would compliment this dress as well as the handbag I chose. The electric blue fur gives a pop of colour and fun.

DRESS- No name

GILLET- Select

BOOTS- EBay

BAG- Coast

These boots are from an on-line boutique I found on EBay a few years back. Although they are laced from toe to thigh, there is a zip in the back, which makes life sooo much easier.
They're an edgy statement that don't require much styling. I find wearing this simplest outfit with these boots is the best way to show them off.
The black matt against the soft satin is a feminine contrast. These boots are NOT made for walking, but they sure look cute :).

STYLE TIP- Always put your best foot forward... just make sure you're wearing nice shoes!

3 OUTFITS 'TIL CHRISTMAS-

AWAY IN FAUX LEATHER

For those of you that work away, you probably can not wait to get home to your family and friends. It's so nice to have time off from work and other commitments to spend time doing exactly what you want to do. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with the people that mean the most to me.
I have the advantage of having my loved ones live near by or a train journey away, so when wanting to pack an over night bag to hang out, my faux leathers and leathers are the first options that spring to mind.


This outfit is practical for this season. It is such an easy accessible choice of neutrals ready to wear after travelling to an afternoon/evening gathering.

BLOUSE- Handmade by mama

SKIRT- EBay dress customised into a skirt

SHOES- United Footwear

CHOKER- H&M Bracelet

I actually stole this blouse from my mama's wardrobe. I love the unfinished edges and dusty gold tone. It hangs effortlessly over this maxi faux leather pencil skirt. The two textures blend nicely allowing room for exaggerated accessories. I opted for less by choosing a simple gold choker.

STYLE TIP- Get'chu some faux leather girl, it's simple and sassy!

5 OUTFITS 'TIL CHRISTMAS- PINK PJ'S

HARK THE PINK PJ'S ARE IN!

I don't know about you, but I love to be in my pyjamas when I have no intention of leaving the house. They (along with a good tracksuit) are the most comfortable clothes to be in.
Now I don't own a pair of designer pyjamas to be wearing them out the house as an outfit, but I think I've come pretty close.
This ensemble was a steal from a random shop...it was sooo cheap I can't even tell you how much I paid for it! Unfortunately the shop has closed down so I can't share where it's from either, buy I'm sure (if you like this look) you'll find something similar or better.
This pink co-ord set is satin silky soft. It hangs effortlessly and needs no work. I actually purchased the items separately and saw that there was also a mini dress to go with. I loved the idea of this set paired with a floaty satin oversized waterfall jacket...(which I'm yet to find), so bought this outfit with that in mind.

COAT- Unknown

COORD SET- Unknown

CHOKER- River Island

SHOES- Timeless 

LIPSTICK- Colourpop (Limbo)

I didn't want to draw any attention away from the pink, opting for black shoes and a simple choker. The red statement coat was the only jacket I had similar to the waterfall jacket I had in mind, which actually compliments this look really well. It's festive, simple and comfortable to celebrate Christmas singing Christmas carols.

STYLE TIP- Do what works for you! Think fun and festive!
