Heya! 

I am back yet again with another Mono Mix outfit post! Today's outfit is a slightly smarter look which has been styled around a white shirt. I thought this would be a great post to do because most people have a white shirt and they can be worn in so many different ways so I thought I'd do a post on how I would style a white shirt to look slightly smart but also something you could wear as an every day look. So lets get started!


Ella's white shirt is actually a really great one as it has a more casual look to it due to the fabric and type of buttons but of course it is a shirt so still looks smart. I think if you have a shirt like this its super great because it can be dressed up or down.

 Anyway I styled this shirt unbuttoned at the top as it gives it a more laid back look. I also went for a tucked in look as I think it makes the outfit look more professional and thought about!


I paired the white shirt with some black skinny jeans. These look super professional combined with the shirt but also provide a more comfortable look. 

To accessorize I chose a charm necklace. This I think just gave the outfit that little extra something. I think small pendant necklaces are great for a small accessory to make an outfit look slightly more feminine. 

A necklace like this is also really easy item you can constantly change up. For example Ella has several little charms and changes them up depending on the look she wants. This can be made using an old necklace chain you don't want. By doing this you can have several different necklaces and have a different style for each outfit. I personally love this penny style charm as its quiet unique but also still elegant. 


Now I normally just do a post about the outfit but I thought for this look the makeup and hair makes such a significant difference to the look I'll mention it briefly; and of course all credits to Ella for the makeup and hair as it was all done by her. 

So Ella styled her hair with a half up-do look. The hair which was down looked really nice because the curls were natural looking. The hair that was up was then put into a bun which I think made it look really sophisticated. I think a hairstyle like this was perfect for the look as it looked professional yet also super fashionable and of course looked like a lot of effort had been put in. Also the hairstyle meant that Ella's hair was out of her face so perfect for a working day!

The makeup was also perfect I think for this look as it was a natural kind of foundation look so it didn't look over done but then the lipstick totally gave the look a bit of glam!

Anyway I hope you have enjoyed this post! I will be back very soon with another! Thank you so much for reading!

Heya!

I am back again, woo! Wow can you believe it I have posted three times this week! I hope you are not bored of me yet! Anyway today is another Mono Mix outfit post. Today's post however is a cosy and casual outfit post. I mean I think everyone has them days when they just want a super comfy outfit; so I thought why not do a comfy but cute outfit post!

For this look although my Mono Mix posts have mainly been based around only black and white items I figured grey was in that colour scheme so this outfit as you will tell from the images also has a grey theme to it!


So firstly for this outfit I chose a cute little grey sweatshirt! This is actually Ella's Disney Jumper which I think is super cute because It's sophisticated but it's obviously Disney so is super cute at the same time!I love grey sweatshirts like this; I actually have one from Jessie J's merchandise and honestly it is so comfy but looks kind of polished at the same time. I guess opposed to a hoodie it just makes your outfit look a bit more sophisticated and put together even though it is still a lazy day kind of look. 


Although you cant really see in the photos I paired the grey sweatshirt with some skinny black jeans. You can't go wrong with skinny fit black jeans! They literally go with almost anything and can be styled for any kind of look, also perfect for college! 

For shoes I chose the classic black with white detailing vans. Vans are an easy option for something like college. They are comfy and practical but also of course a fashionable item also! 


I hope that you all like this outfit! A different style outfit to what I would normally post but I thought sometimes Its good to be realistic and we all have them days where we just want to cosy and casual!

Thank you as always for reading! I hope you enjoyed it!

Heya!

I'm back again! I hope you are all well! Today is another mono mix outfit post. Woo! This is actually probably my favourite Mono Mix outfit I have styled.  Anyway let me get on with it!


The key feature of this look is the black dungarees. These were cropped dungarees which were skinny fitting on the leg. A statement piece but also very classic due to the black colouring. Underneath the dungarees I picked a simple white tee to form a mono mix look and create a colour contrast against the black dungarees and make the outfit look slightly more lighter. The tee also had a cute little cactus logo which I think adds a slight quirkiness. 


I picked a monochrome scarf to add to the outfit as not only did this complete the colour scheme but I felt it just gave the outfit that little extra accessory that it needed to look like the outfit had been properly styled. I love this scarf because it is the perfect size. Not too chunky but also long enough to create a layered cozy look. The print on it also creates a more graphic look!


For shoes I styled Ella wearing white converse! Who doesn't love white converse? They are so practical yet also so stylish. I think they were a great option for this outfit as they give the outfit a casual street style vibe but also are a key trend item! 


This is actually one of my favourite Mono Mix outfits I styled. Probably because I love street style! Oh and I am also obsessed with dungarees and white tees! If you don't have dungarees then I recommend you get some! They are such a statement piece but literally go with anything and complete an outfit in seconds! They are also super comfy as well as fashionable!

Anyway I hope you liked this post! Thank you so much for reading!

Heya!

I'm back today with another outfit post! I actually have a few planned and will be posting a series of these; also for the next month I will be posting more than once a week! Woo! (hopefully you wont get bored of me). So lets get started.

I have been on several photo-shoots with my friend Ella. I have styled her using a Mono Mix theme. Due to this the look has been put together with monochrome blacks and white colouring in mind. I also had a winter walk outfit in mind when styling Ella for this look. I hope you like it!


For Ella's outfit I firstly chose a casual day dress. I picked a white dress with standard black horizontal stripes. I loved this dress because its an easy comfy outfit but also so cute and makes an outfit look a little bit more girly. I paired this dress with a black parka style coat with a fluffy trim around the hood. The coat was perfect as it provides warmth perfect for winter walk but also looks smart and cosy at the same time. To complete the look I added a maroon snood. The snood was obviously not monochrome but I think it added a bit extra to the look and provided a stylish but warm addition.


I think the outfit is a super cute and cosy look. Perfect for a winter walk.

I hope you enjoyed the post, thank you so much for reading!

Heya!

I hope you are all okay! Can you believe this is my third post this week! Wow its not even the holidays, I must be on a roll! Anyway today's post is a lifestyle post because I wanted to share with you what I got up to this weekend! I don't often get to go out in the day because I have lots of work to do for college. However this weekend after all my mocks and deadlines I thought why not have a little time off!

We decided to go to the Galleria which is a shopping center in Hertfordshire. I've actually never been before and seen as I live so close I thought why not? Plus it was just really nice to spend some time with my family! I was actually really excited because it felt like I hadn't been out in forever.


We arrived at around 1;00pm so decided to have a spot of lunch first. There was actually a great selection of restaurants at the galleria it was almost hard to choose but in the end we chose good ol' Pizza Express because you cant go wrong with somewhere that makes pasta! Plus I just love pizza express! I ordered 'Pollo Pesto' which is a pasta dish with pesto sauce, chicken, mushrooms and some veggies! I am actually so gutted I didn't take a picture! I always take a picture of my food so can't believe I forget! Anyway the meal was super nice despite feeling very full up afterwards!


After lunch we went to do some shopping! Or at least have a look around! There were several shops but the two I brought things from were TK Maxx and Calvin Klein, I brought a new smoothie bottle from Tx maxx which was pink! Woo! and from Calvin Klein I got some underwear, and may I just say Calvin Klein underwear is honestly the best. Although that is for another post! Haha


We ended up heading home at around 4;30. Anyway I had a really lovely day so I thought why not share it with you guys! Hope you enjoyed this kind of post. Thanks for reading!

Heya!

I hope you are all well. Today's post is slightly different to my normal post. I guess it will also be a little bit shorter! Today's post is an outfit post! This was one of the things I really wanted to do when starting my blog! I have put it off for so long as I don't really have the facilities or equipment to take the photos I would have liked. However, I've been so desperate to do an outfit post I thought why not just go for it? My iPhone quality will have to do!

The outfit this post is about is what I wore on Sunday. I went to church and after stayed for a shared lunch where I got to catch up with some of my family and church friends.

So here's my outfit-


Light Grey Thin Long Sleeve Jumper - Zara 

 Faux Fur Coat - Red Herring 

 Patterned Green, Black and White Skirt - River Island 

 Thick 100 denier tights - BHS

 Cross of Nails Pendant - Silver Fish Jewelry 

The Jumper from Zara I love because it is one of those wardrobe essentials that goes with anything and can be dressed both up or down and can be worn all year around!

The coat is one of my winter favorites! I have had it for years and it is just so soft! I love how it can make an outfit look so much more sophisticated.

The skirt from River Island I got in the sale which of course I could not resit. Its also something which I have found I can wear both in the day and in the evening which is really practical.

Thick black tights are a must for me in the winter. Especially if you are like me and own lots of skirts and dresses! Mine are from BHS as its not easy to find really thick tights for a good price! I swear by my BHS tights I literally hardly ever ladder my tights when they are from BHS!

Finally my pendant is from a company called silver fish. I love this necklace it is a statement piece but very elegant!

Quite a simple outfit for me but still something I like. It looks both smart and casual. It is also comfortable too so a great option for church or many other occasions.

Hope you have enjoyed having a little read!

Heya!

Now firstly I would like to start by apologising for not uploading a post last Monday! It was the week of my mock exams and all my deadlines so I was super busy and wanted to make sure I gave that my full attention! However I am back this week and today’s post is going to be a kind of review I guess you could say.


So the brand today’s post is going to be about is Adanola! Now I first became aware of this company when I went to the clothes show where they had a stand. They seemed pretty cool they had a photo booth in their stand which of course everyone loved! And obviously they were selling there items as well as promoting their brand. Adanola sell active wear which I guess most people know as sportswear. I had a little look at the clothes show at some of their items but I had already spent way too much! The photo booth was free though! How great! Anyway long story short at the bottom of my picture I had from the photo booth Adanola Instagram tag was printed so I gave them a follow to find out a bit more about them!


Now over Christmas they ran a few giveaway competitions. How cool, right? I mean who doesn’t love free stuff! I also think giveaways are just a great opportunity to get more people to know about your brand. Well anyway I entered one of the competitions and I was extremely lucky to win one of them! I was super chuffed to say the least! The giveaway competition I won was a £50 voucher to spend on the Adanola site on whatever I wanted! How exciting! Now I honestly found it really hard to pick what I wanted! And not because I didn’t want anything but because I wanted everything! Haha! I decided that I wanted a whole outfit! I mean what the heck I had 50 whole pounds to spend on what I liked! There were a couple of options, however I ended up choosing the classic black option because I felt like this would be a lot more wearable and would be easier to repeat wear due to the colour. I chose the sports leggings and a sports bra. I went for these two as I already have loads of sports tops and I only had one pair of sports leggings and I didn’t actually have a sports bra! The sports bra was £24 and the leggings were £35! Okay so some people who are into the sports will probably understand that this is a reasonable price. However if you are not and your thinking wow that’s a lot of money! Well, the Adanola brand is a luxury active wear brand so the items are really nice and you defiantly get what you pay for! Which in this case means there products are very good.



I put through my order and now it was just a case of waiting for it to arrive! My delivery came nice and quick and was a tracked order so I was able to make sure I was defiantly going to receive it! Once it came I’m not going to lie I was extremely excited! It did not disappoint and let me just say the packaging was really lovely. My two items were individual wrapped with the brands packaging and both of these came in another bag with a little message from the company on, which I think made it extra special and really made me smile!

Now you know me I took pictures of it all first! But after this without any hesitation I tried it all on! I mean come on wouldn’t you? I don’t know what it is but I just get a real exctiment when opening and receiving deliveries, I think the anticipation of waiting for it to come just gets me more interested to see what it’s like in person! Now I must admit I’m not one of those people who always shops online because let’s not lie there can be there disadvantages like not knowing if it will fit etc. I was slightly worried about that but as soon as I tried it on all my doubts were gone! Both items fitted perfectly! I think that’s the great thing about active wear too it’s hard to go wrong with sizing!


Anyway I firstly tried the sports leggings. They were super nice and really comfy to wear! They gave a lovely tight fitting but were very flexible so great for any sports! I was worried that the leggings would be too long because I’m quiet short! But the size I ordered fitted me nicely both on my wait and my legs.

Now the next thing of course I tried on was the sports bra! This also fitted really well and was super comfy! It was also very secure so perfect for any sporting activities! It also has a lovely design on the back so would look great without a top but also totally suitable to wear underneath a top depending on what kind of sports you are doing and where.


I was super pleased with my new Adanola active wear and couldn’t resist doing a post to share with you all! I know it’s a bit late considering I won the competition in December however I thought now was the perfect time for the post as lent is tomorrow! Wow that came around quick! Some of you might not do lent, however I do. This year I wanted to try taking something up as well as going without something to give myself a challenge. This year I have decided to really try to stay healthy and part of that involves exercising! So I will definitely be using my active wear from Adanola a lot!!

Anyway I hope you enjoyed having a little read and thank you as always! I really appreciate all the support I get towards my blog! See you next Monday! (Or who knows maybe before that if I pull my socks up)
