What It's All About

I am a woman in my early 20's, on an average salary that disappears on bills, rent, food...GONE! However, I still manage to keep on top of fashion trends; in fact it's a passionate obsession. I pound the high street in heels hunting for the ultimate fashion find. I have fashion magazines glued to my hands, a costly fixation with handbags and a belief that accessories are the base for any outfit...yes; I will plan an entire outfit around a new watch, earrings or ring! So, my reason for starting a blog? I have to share all my top tips and fabulous finds with someone! My boyfriend seems somewhat un-interested in all this. I always have something I want to shout about, so be prepared! Signing off. BB x

Big Trend Alert - 80s metallics!

Big trend this season! No matter how big or small you do it, you just should. It's coming up to party time so why not glam up with a metallic party dress?! Lipsy have got just the ticket, ranging from £40 to £65. Not bad!



Metallics are hot! So ensure your A/W wardrobe is full of it, it comes back every year so a good investment I say. However, don't wear too much at once...this is not hot!
Here I've created a day to night look. For the day, wear this shimmering body with black shiny harem pants. Over the top put on this amazing knit cardi to create texture and interest. Chunky boots and a large leather holdall gives this outfit a solid look.
For night, slip on these woven peeptoe boots, and a statement strand necklace. Loose the huge bag for this great little dome bag, slap on the neon nail varnish and glitter up your eyes. Now where's the party?!

If you're not sure you feel confident in metallics, accessorize with it instead. It looks amazing with black so it's really easy to add a few pieces to your favourite outfits.



I love this bronze dress styled with a sequin cape, chunky belt and a clashing red clutch. Of course styled by me!
