Spanish Nights...

Oh how I adore those warm Spanish evenings where you don't need to worry about taking a jacket or a pair of tights "just in case". You can pop on a dress, shoes and some sunglasses and head out for a lovely cocktail and dinner.

Near the villa there is a steak house called Patagonia Steak House and oh my. The steak there is surely the best steak I've ever consumed. You know when something is so good that you get emotional and want to cry? That was one of those times. I won't blabber on about it since this isn't a 'steak review blog' :P

On that night I originally wanted to wear my white babydoll shift dress from, ASOS. However, due to a chocolate chip cookie incident I had to change to this mint green number from H&M - which I love nonetheless!

It's simplicity makes it so elegant but the style still keeps it youthful,  not forgetting the back detailing adding a sense of sensuality to the look.

To excentuate my waist I added a cut out brown faux leather belt from H&M which I feel adds more dimension to the dress. My shoes of choice were of course from River Island which added to the youthfulness and my black, oversized sunglasses are from Urban Outfitters which I find extremely chic and they topped off the outfit!

Tartan Dress!

Uh oh, another blog post that has something to do with one of my favourite patterns of the season - Tartan!

If you read one of my older blog posts on tartan then you'll know that I was debating on whether to buy a tartan dress because of how striking the pattern is on a small person like me. I was fortunate to receive a New Look gift card and this dress was one of the first things I spotted as I walked into the store and my friend, Carys convinced me to buy it... So I got it and I'm so glad!

I didn't notice that the dress had a short waist, almost empire waist at first but I'm really pleased that it is because I don't actually own anything with this waist band and I've been intrigued to try one out!

I really love the colours of the print as they make accessorizing easier. I like to pair different patterns with each other sometimes even if it's something small like this necklace which has a hint of cheetah print on one of the beads.

This black bowler hat from H&M is so simplistic yet so cool that it adds a little something to the outfit, and paired with my red wellie boots and the dress I think it definitely makes a statement outfit.

This dress was £18 and from New Look of course. I really recommend getting your hands on a tartan dress or skirt for Winter as it will be a staple in your wardrobe!

Au Revoir!

Tartan: Autumnal Fashion Statement

I have never seen so much tartan in my life! There's always been tartan pajamas around as they are the most common pattern for our cosy pajamas.

Tartan is everywhere at the moment, whether it's something as simple as a scarf or something a little dressier like a skirt or dress. I'm not too keen on wearing a tartan dress, only because I don't want to be drowned by such a strong pattern as I'm a small person. But I do love the idea of a tartan skater skirt paired with a basic tee shirt, so that the pattern isn't so overpowering.

Although I personally wouldn't wear the dress I do still like the pattern on a dress, I think it's very sweet and cute but it also gives and edge to it as it's a very 90's Punk look.

This is the current Tartan Piece I think is a statement accessory in an Autumn/Winter wardrobe as it goes with everything and of course, it's very on trend! The scarf is from Urban Outfiters and is £18, some argue that this is over-priced for a scarf but if you're someone who owns a lot of items from Urban Outfiters, you'll know the quality is very high.

Something that has always been on trend are tartan shirts, or 'flannels'. These are even more the street style of course, therefore I recommend getting your hands on these as they'll keep you warm and snuggly and they're excellent for layering on those cold Winter days. The flannel in the picture above is from Topshop and is £30. Of course you can find these shirts in nearly all shops for a lower or higher price!

Those are the two statement tartan pieces that will complete your wardrobe for the season, even if you aren't a massive tartan lover these two pieces are something simple that you can pair and match almost anything with. They make the strong pattern a little softer when you pair other items with them!

Little Black Dresses!

A little black dress is a key item in any woman's wardrobe!

These are cute, simple, chic and sweet and you can certainly accessorize them in anyway; whether you want a bright pink chunky bracelet or a fine set of silver earrings!

One of the many great things about these dresses are the fact that they are in pretty much any shop you walk into, there'll be at least one depending on the size of the store. They're also easy to order online as most websites have a special category for them, they're just that amazing haha.

The price range for these simple yet sweet dresses are enormous as they can range from £5 to £100 depending on how high the quality or how big the brand is. So there's no excuse ladies! :P

If you are looking for a designer label dress and have the money for it then go for it, but if you're a teenager like I am, who's constantly changing I think a dress with the smaller price tag is the best option!

There's so many inexpensive dresses out there on the high street as well as online. I recommend missguided.com as I have my eye on this particular dress which is only £6.99 but is still beautiful.

 As for high street shops Primark is great for finding dresses that are for a one off occasion. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea so if you prefer slightly higher quality then New Look is always great and H&M always has a bargain.

Sweetheart, square, halter, curved. Empire, natural, skater, bodycon, babydoll. Pick any style that flatters your shape and keep this dress as your savior. The best friend of your wardrobe!
