Scuba Dress

Dress- c/o Motel. Clutch- ASOS. Shoes- Topshop. Necklace- Miss Selfridge

Dress-c/o Motel . Shoes- ASOS. Clutch- ASOS . Wrist band- Miss Selfridge. Cuff- ASOS.

Hi Guys,

I got this amazing little scuba-esque dress the other day thanks to the lovely people over at Motel. Ive styled it up in two slightly different ways for you, first a more feminine look and secondly a slightly more edgy one :).  Motel Rocks is a brand that i've loved since i was 17- 18, they just seem to be able to keep up with trends and always seem relevant.

I love the digitalised print on this dress as much as the high neck, three quarter length sleeves and scuba like structure its got going on. Whats even better is that if you're not really a dress person, then this print comes in a top, jeans shorts and playsuit too!  AND right now, Motel are offering readers of Nicola Claire 15% off with the code: ITSLOVE15 so get shoppping!!!

ALSO! Dont forget that entries for my Boticca giveaway will end at midnight tonight and the winner will be announced tomorrow :)

I was lucky enough to be featured as a guest curator for Boticca this week too and if you like you can read the article here.

Cathedral Skirt

Skirt- Black Milk. Jumper- H&M. Shirt- Zara. Cuff- River Island. Shoes- Topshop. Bag- Zara

Hi guys,

Here is what i wore today :) I got this Cathedral Skirt from Black Milk a couple of weeks ago as a gift but have had so many other things to show you that it hasn't made an appearance yet! Its a crime i know, as it is probably one of my favourite skirts ever! If you haven't checked out Black Milk yet you definitely should as they have an amazing selection of leggings and dresses too- all with such unique designs.

I know tomorrow is Valentines day but is anyone else more excited about pancake day on the 21st? I've never done anything for Valentines day before so don't really know what im missing! Although me and my friends DID plan to go speed dating last year for a laugh but believe it or not it was fully booked! Which was actually probably a blessing in disguise....

Also there are just two more days left to enter my Boticca giveaway! Make sure you enter if you would like the chance to win £100 worth of vouchers.

Bralets and Tassells

Top- ASOS. Skirt- AllSaints. Bag- Zara. Shoes- Topshop. Cuff- ASOS



Dress- Topshop. Belt - Vintage

Hi Everyone , I thought i'd do two outfits in one post today because i have SO many things i need to show you guys.

Im absolutely loving the bralet top in the first outfit, I went one size up because my usual size was sold out but it fits really well and is probably more comfy than the smaller size would have been anyways!

 Im also loving the flapper girl vibe of the dress in the second outfit with a modern ombre twist :) Although 1920's style is all about the dropped waist I've added this waist belt to try and tame those tassells a bit more. Thanks to a remake of the Great Gatsby, i think we'll be seeing a lot more of the 1920's this season.

Thank you to everyone who has entered my giveaway with Boticca! anyone who hasnt entered yet, don't worry its open until Wednesday!

Here is a little song to shoulder shimmy to:

Hi guys,

Hope you all had a good weekend! I just wanted to show you these little shorts i got from Zara the other week and also these collar clips I've been wearing quite a lot recently. I got them from Alexinn.se along with some other really cute pieces of jewelry. The website is written in Swedish so i had to do a bit of guess work but you should definitely check it out, they've got some really nice stuff! Here are the clips close up: 

So i have also decided to go ahead with a couple of giveaways :) details coming this week! Exciting stuff.

Tetris

Jacket- Topshop (old). Playsuit- ASOS. Bag- Zara. Necklace- Miss Selfridge. Shoes- Topshop

Hey Guys,

I thought i'd show you guys this playsuit i bought from ASOS last week, i love the print of it, it kind of reminds me of a game of Tetris!

I found this dark denim jacket that i bought from Topshop aaages ago and thought i could put it to good use! I think i'l be getting a lot of wear out of it this summer :)

I also wanted to ask you guys what you thought of doing my first giveaway competition? Ive always steered clear of them in the past because some of the time i feel like its a little like bribary?! However, if it was something you guys would be interested in i could give it a go! Of course i will only pick items that i think you guys would like, ive had a few good offers :) . Let me know your thoughts!

Aqua

Dress- Aqua Couture. Shoes- Zara. Bag- Zara. Necklace- Gift

As promised, here is the dress i wore last Thursday for the Burns night.I love the structure of this dress, its amazing and fits to well! The fringing is also detachable which is a major plus meaning it also doubles up as the perfect little black dress :)

Aqua is definitely one of my go to brands for evening wear, you'll always get something different that fits well. It also comes in a shorter length which is really cute too but of course i had to go for the more dramatic and impractical look :)

Im loving being back to uni just now, i probably wont be saying that in a couple of weeks though- its about to get stressful!  A lot of you have been asking about my course, Im in my fourth year of studying Fashion Management at RGU and have really enjoyed it. For more information on the course or entry requirements click here.
