ROMWE Easter Deal

Hi everyone!

Just a quick post to let you all know about Romwe's Easter Day Deal. All orders placed between yesterday and tomorrow (29th of March) will receive a free gift:

Orders over $40 (£26/€31) will get this galaxy print bowtie for FREE (RRP $9.90)

Orders over $70 (£46/€54) will get this galaxy print collar for FREE (RRP $14.99)

Orders over $100 (£66/€78) will get this galaxy print bag for FREE (RRP $21.99)

How great is that? I have created a collage with my current favourite items from Romwe. Believe it or not, I still don't own a black leather jacket as I never found one that I really like. This leather jacket from Romwe is perfect though, and is quite reasonably priced too. Score! Another piece I am currently loving from Romwe is this Snow White tee. The character faces have been replaced with cat faces, so being the cat lover that I am, I instantly fell in love with it once I saw it. And how gorgeous is this black cat eye sunglasses? Since Spring is finally here, sunglasses use is a must for me - both because of the sun, and also because I can further accessorise my outfits by wearing sunglasses. The last item that I'm currently loving is this Eagle Boy crop top, clearly inspired by Boy London. Even though they have been all over the blogosphere, I still want my fair share of 'eagle' tees.  

1 // 2 // 3 // 4

And how awesome are these leggings?

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5

Don't forget that Romwe offer FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING with no minimum purchase required! 

Happy Shopping :)

January Wishlist

Hi everyone!

January is almost over. How did it go by so fast? I didn't even find time to post my January wishlist before today. So, without further ramblings, these are the items that I'm currently wishing to own this month.

1) Rope and Metal Statement Necklace
I have so many gold collar necklaces, but this statement necklace from River Island is hard to resist. I'm especially in love with the combination of the black rope and the gold metal piece, as it can be worn with both casual and going-out outfits.

2) Boy London Jumper
I also recently became quite obsessed with Boy London clothing. I loved these jumpers I stumbled upon on eBay from the minute I saw them, but I cannot yet decide on which colour I want. Maybe I should get them both?

3) Bunny Ring Holder
Isn't this bunny ring holder the cutest? I already have a cat ring holder in my room, but it's quite old and I think it's now time for it to give space for a new one. So this is definitely going to be my next purchase.

4) Lets Make Out Statement Ring
Jewellery from I Love Crafty are always showing up in my monthly wishlists. This month, I've been eyeing this red and gold Lets Make Out statement ring. So unique and perfect for Valentine's Day and every other day of the year. 

5) Nike Blazer Trainer
Last but definitely not least, I seriously want/need a Nike Blazer Trainer. The only problem is that I also cannot decide on which colour I like the most - Teal, Burgundy or Blue. Why are there so many pretty shoes out there?

What is on your January wishlist? Is anything from my wishlist on yours too?

Preview of Dixi's New Collection

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow, Sunday the 27th of January, is a big day - a new collection will be arriving at Dixi. How great is that? I'm always so excited about their collections as they stock so many unique pieces, both vintage and modern. The below photos are an exclusive preview of this new collection. Most of the jewellery pieces that will be available as from tomorrow on their website are one off items. This ensures that Dixi's customers look unique in a crowd! And who doesn't love to stand out in the crowd? As always there will also be a selection of clothing and accessories to pull the looks together. 

I LOVE EVERYTHING! But I have to be realistic as money does not grow on my back garden trees. I'm therefore hoping to get the silver cross bracelet, the white stone ring, and the burgundy stone ring. They're so pretty, right? So make sure you check out Dixi's website at around 10am (UK time) tomorrow. Don't worry if you'll still be half asleep, as your eyes will surely pop out once you see what items they have in store for you :) 

For my UK readers, Dixi are offering FREE UK SHIPPING with any purchase of £15 or over by using the code BLOGGERDISC at checkout. 

This code is valid for only 7 days (from 27th January till 3rd February). 

And if you don't live in the UK, fear not. Dixi are also offering FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING on all orders of £20 or over. Whoop!

How I Style • RedRock Pieces

Hi everyone!

Do you remember the fashion brand RedRock which I had collaborated with for a giveaway some months ago? Of course you do. For my new followers (and for those of you who can't remember), RedRock is a label created by fashion designer and stylist Kiran Lall for girls who like to have fun with fashion, while also standing out from the crowd by wearing something that can't be found on the High Street. Their items, which include vintage, modern and re-worked clothing and accessories, are all hand made in their Northampton studios, and so, every piece is unique in each and every way. 

I have put together three outfits to show you how I would style some of their amazing pieces. The three items that I chose were the Military Shirt Dress, the Tribal Bitch Denim Jacket, and the Rosie Tee-Red. 

First off is the khaki Military Shirt Dress. I decided to team it with a simple black denim jeans and black boots. With regards to accessories, I chose a black bowler hat - I simply can't get enough of them - a chunky silver necklace to emphasise the floral detail on the shirt's collar, and a studded bag. With this look, I would paint my nails in black to continue with the military/grungy look, and then add a touch of colour by using a pale pink lipstick.

Next I chose this oversized vintage Tribal Bitch Denim Jacket. I simply fell in love with it's tribal design. As shown above, I would wear it with a simple black denim jeans, a plain white crop top, and a chunky mustard snood which goes really well with the colours found on the denim jacket. A pair of black brogues and a tan satchel will finish off this outfit perfectly.   

As you probably already know, I don't like clothes which are too girly. And so, floral pieces aren't quite my cup of tea. However, I liked this red Rosie Tee mainly because it's oversize, and because the floral pattern is incorporated with a not-so-girly inverted triangle. If I owned this tee, I would surely wear it with a distressed vintage denim shorts. For this look, I chose these Chloé-inspired studded boots, and a classic black Cambridge satchel. Depending on the weather, I would then either wear a pair of sunglasses, or else a pair of black knee high socks. Or both.

What do you think of these outfits? Do you like the pieces I chose from RedRock?

I will soon have a 10% discount code especially for you, so keep your eyes on this post to make sure you don't miss it!

Crazy Beautiful

Hi everyone!

Beginning Boutique, the online Australian brand which I wrote about some months ago, recently launched a new lookbook called Crazy Beautiful. This lookbook, featuring photographer Nat Lanyon, is all about innocence and youthfulness with a playful, fun tone. The styling bounces between casual and relaxed looks, ideal for hot summer afternoons, versus sexy glamour, for when the volume needs to be turned up at night. 

I love these photos, and the collection that features in this lookbook is just so Summery. I especially fell in love with the black denim shorts and the cat top, obviously. Thank you Beginning Boutique for making me miss Summer even more!

These are my favourite photos from the lookbook, but you can see all the images on their blog.

 

What do you think of this lookbook and the collection that features in it?

Remember that Beginning Boutique ship worldwide and you can get FREE shipping on orders of $50 AUD or more. Score.
