Forget Me Knots Scarves

“We Are Creative, We Are Individual, We Are Strong"- Forget Me Knots 

Recently I've teamed up with the lovely brand, Forget Me Knots Scarves! Forget Me Knots is a brand that design and sell beautiful real silk scarves. 

The scarves are designed by Natalie Palmer and the brand has two collections out a year. The scarves are made by using photography and image manipulation to put them together and are then digitally printed onto crepe back silk.

Their current collection is called 'English Tropics' and is inspired by tropical prints such as palm trees and pineapples and are mixed with the muted colour palette of the English countryside. 

I absolutely adore the look of these scarves. They're so fresh looking and unusual in a good sense. I can imagine someone walking up to me when I'm wearing one and trying to work out what the patterns and colours are because they're so interesting looking. I'm normally one to play it quite safe when wearing scarves but these, well I'd love to wear any of them. They would immediately jazz up an outfit and make any boring or plain outfit interesting looking. 

The colours are great for pairing with most other colours as they have both slightly brighter colours with the classic monochrome, blues and lighter hues. 

I will be doing a Forget Me Knot styling post in the future showing you how to wear and style up these beautiful scarves so look out for that in the future!

Blazing White

So today I went and did a small photoshoot with my sisters so we can give some photographs to my mum in an album or a frame for her birthday on Saturday. Therefore I wanted to wear something nice but casual at the same time so I settled for this.

I went for a black bodysuit which is underneath the blazer and is one of the best basics I've ever bought, I wear it so often! Also I wore my black high waisted jeans that I always wear. I'm sorry fashion police but they just go with EVERYTHING!

The sandals are my new favourite shoes. I'm not normally a big shoe person, they don't really fuss me if they go with your outfit then perfect, that's it! These sandals though are so comfy and flattering and I will definitely be taking them for walking around Venice next week! 

I added the black clutch which I bought years ago but it still goes with most outfit due to it being black.

The cream/off white blazer is the main item that makes this outfit, it's what adds a smart edge to a fairly casual outfit. I first wore this on my 18th birthday and it's the perfect cover up.

Blazer: H&M

Bodysuit: Missguided

Jeans: Topshop

Sandals: New Look

I Bagged It

 Top: New Look

Bag: Next

Jeans: Topshop

Last week I made a quick visit to the Next sale. I'm not normally one for Next as it can be full of 'mum' clothes but every now and again I can find a few pieces I like. 

After searching through rails and rails of clothes, with very few size 6 or 8s, I moved over to the bags and found this little beauty. 

I have been looking for a bag of a good size with normal straps as well as a longer 'over the shoulder' strap and I finally found it. It is black and off-white meaning it will go with most outfits. As well as being a great bag and because of the sale it was also a great price at £18 instead of the original £36! So pleased with how cheap it was!

This is Not a Jumpsuit

 Top - Next / Trousers - Zara / Wedges - New Look

I know what you're thinking, but that is a jumpsuit Liss? I know it looks like one but it's actually a pair of loose, very high waisted trousers and a strapless top. 

I'm obsessed with these trousers, they're amazing. They go with and look good with everything. For me they're the ultimate pair of trousers. As much as I love wearing skinny jeans and wear them most of the time, I also love wearing looser fitting trousers and have now got several pairs without realising it. They're stylish, comfortable and above all they feel like you're wearing pjs. I can't think of anything better. They're also soft and fairly light weight, the perfect 'slipping on at the beach after a swim' trousers.

You'll definitely be seeing this outfit again.

Zara Sale

Every time there is a Zara sale, you know. It's tweeted, posted and talked about everywhere and the summer sale is currently under way and I couldn't help but buy a few items. I have learnt something from this sale and that's: if you like it and it's in your size, buy it, because I missed out on the most amazing pair of shorts. Gutting when that happens. Anyway let's get on with it.

Here I am just going to show you 3 items (although I got more) I bought in the sale:

The Dungarees

My hair was so curly today

Dunagrees - Zara / Top - New Look / Shoes - New Look

Dungarees. I haven't owned a pair since I was little but I've always loved them so when I saw this pair in the sale I had to get them. It's so casual and great for just chucking on a summer day or at the beach. It's very adaptable as it can be worn with most things e.g. any top can be placed underneath, any jumper can be worn over it and tights can be worn with it making it easily wearable for almost all year round. I can just tell I'm going to be living it in this summer.

The Shorts

Shorts - Zara / Top - New Look / Shoes - Primark

These shorts were a quick last minute choice as you can't have too many shorts in the summer and at £7.99 you can't go wrong. I feel as though I have barely any shorts this year as mine as all too big for me this year (there are down sides to loosing weight!) so seeing these for so cheap I decided to get them. They're monochrome which means they'll fit into about 80% of my current wardrobe. They can also be worn in the winter with a pair of tights.

The Bodysuit

Bodysuit - Zara / Jeans - Topshop / Shoes - Dorothy Perkins

I saw this on another blogger months ago and thought I was too late to pick it up in Zara but I found it in the sale which makes things even better and for £7.99. I really love bodysuits as they can go on with most items especially jeans and considering how much I wear my beloved high waisted Topshop Joni jeans, they're perfect. They mean no problems with having to tuck tops into my jeans with fear of them coming out or having to be 're-tucked'.

Just a small insight into my sale items and what I could potentially wear them with.

A Lookbook Throwback

A little while ago I did a styling project in college. This meant choosing a client, creating questionnaires, doing research, taking the client shopping and of course, making lookbooks. 

Here are two examples of the lookbooks I created in a short space of time that connected well with my client, her personality and style:

Model: Lissy Kelsey

Camera: Nikon D70

Photographer: Myself

Just a short post to show some of what I do at college.

Loving Pinterest Again

I signed up to Pinterest ages ago but I never really got into it as I'm far too dedicated (and in love with) Tumblr. Recently though I was encouraged to use it at college to create a few fashion boards and therefore I finally got into it. 

Therefore I thought I would just share this months inspiration along with my Pinterest. Sorry this post is a short one.

If you know me, you'll know I love monochrome. Can you tell?
