Fashion: Style Crush Olivia Palermo

Image
How are you? Following my  Gwen Stefani Style Crush  post a while back, I saw this picture of Olivia Palermo and knew immediately that I have a similar outfit in my wardrobe and need to show you my take on her casual street style look. Here it is and I hope you'll enjoy today's post. Let me know what you think. Why Olivia's style works: Well, the art is to look casual and effortless though you've spent ages in your wardrobe putting the outfit together. The pieces individually may look a bit boring but in composition together they create an interesting look. Gold accessories and bright colours are the season's trend, therefore Olivia's style is very chic and suitable for daytime or casual after work drinks. The golden accessories are simple, but effective and the entire look doesn't need a necklace or earrings which I really like. I haven't had bright blue shoes to complement the shirt's Denim shade, but I replaced the blue with some bright ye...

Fashion: Blue Vanilla OOTD Style Post

Image
Happy Easter to you all and I'm sorry Thursday's post had to move to today. A cold struck me down for a few days but I'm fine now and hope everyone enjoys the holidays. I don't want to keep you away too long for the Easter family fun, that's why today's post is just a quick style post filled with pictures. Hope you'll enjoy. The Blue Vanilla dress* (via EtailPR) was sent to me a while ago and when I first wore it, it didn't suit me at all. It literally had no tailoring and though it's a small size, it would hang like a linen sack from my shoulders (should have taken pictures, but forgotten to do so) - not very flattering! I brought it to the dress maker and she was able to fix it. She fitted the dress to my measurements and tailored it nicely. It is still a bit casual but has a lovely shape now. You can either team it up with a collarless coat or wear it on its own with some accessories. Here’s what I’m wearing: Dress: Blue Vanilla * (similar style, ...

Fashion: Are You Ready To Take Off For Bristol Fashion Week?

Image
Last Thursday I made my way over to Bristol's Fashion Week SS15 show at the Mall Cribbs Causeway to see what's hot and not this season. Excited after last years  Bristol Fashion Week AW 14 , I couldn't wait to return to the fashion theater and came hungry for more on trend styles. This time, lovely Charlotte ( A Fashion Oddity ) joined me for the show. This is a picture heavy post, so please sit back and enjoy Bristol Fashion Week :) I picked up Charlotte from the station shortly after 11am and we were running a bit late. So we made our way over to the mall ASAP and there were already long queues outside the fashion theater when we arrived. In the foyer, we picked up some drinks and found some great seats by the runway, which worked out well in the end. Like last year, celebrity stylist Mark Heyes presented the show, but this time alongside Made In Chelsea starlet Lucy Watson. Though I missed Andrew Barton a tiny bit, Mark and Lucy made a charming duo, cracked j...

Fashion: Autumn Fashion OOTD. Cotswold's Style

My friend Thursa lives in the beautiful Cotswolds and we went for lunch yesterday. It was a misty and very autumnal day, perfect to shoot a few pictures for an #ootd post. Hope you'll enjoy. I slowly have to say good bye to summer but luckily it is still warm enough to wear my Miss Selfridge jumpsuit. I've teamed it up with my Poncho from Stradivarius and tried to colour match it with my handbag and boots. Brown has been one of my favourite colours and it is a blocker, which means you can combine it with any other colour.  I’m wearing: Leopard Scarf: Primark (winter season 2013/2014, £3) Cognac Leather Boots: Clarks (winter season 2008/2009 £100) Polka Dot Jumpsuit: Miss Selfridge (current season 2014, sale £17) Cognac Blanket Wrap with Belt: Stradivarius (current season 2014, £15.99) Pendant Necklace: Accessorize (current season 2014, in the sale £5) Handbag: Dorothy Perkins (season 2008/2009 £30) Bangle: River Island (season 2005/2006, £10) Till next time and let me kno...

Summer has officially ended and to say good-bye to the season, I'd like to share my last summery OOTD for this year. Earlier this month I went to see my lovely friend Thursa in Weston Super-Mare. We went for lunch first and afterwards to the beach (Sand Bay beach). The weather was gorgeous and the beach filled with walkers and cute dogs. Thursa brought her little pooch Bear along and we had a wonderful time. Hope you'll enjoy! I’m wearing: Flip Flops: New Look (season 2006, £16) Dress: New Look (season 2010 £25) Belt: Dorothy Perkins (season 2009, £15) Necklace: Alexi Accessories (season 2014, £46.50*) Bag: Dorothy Perkins (season 2009, £30) Watch: Olivia Burton (season 20014, £69) Till next time and let me know what you think about the outfit :) xx CAZ xx | bloglovin  |  Twitter | * PR sample.

Fashion: Accessory Trend 2014. Coin Necklaces

Image
Money will literally become our main fashion companion in 2014. As seen in Madame magazine recently,  Dolce & Gabbana  are bringing back Greek style this season and invision coins as THE fashion accessory of 2014. Coins will no longer hide in our wallets and pockets but will be worn as hair jewellery, golden arm candy or sparkle as shiny necklaces around our necks. I'm delighted to see that coins as an exclusive luxury item at the designer fashion shows will soon become available to the High Street. Taking a closer look at our shops, I spotted the following fashion items: |Simple and Cheap: Primark Coin Necklace £5| |Chunky and Statement Forever 21 Coin Necklace £14.90| |New Look, £5.99 and Reborn £7.99| |Freedom At Topshop £13| What do you think of coin necklaces? Love or hate and which one would you get from the High Street?  Till next time xx CAZ xx | bloglovin  |  Twitter |
