Holiday Style: South of France

We all have the perfect holiday destination in mind don't we? Well one of the many on my wish list is the south of France, preferably Monaco. It's classy, oozes luxury and is a fav of loads of celebrities. Unfortunately my bank account won't stretch to the Monaco lifestyle, but luckily I've found some outfits that would fit in perfectly walking around the glamorous harbour and fit in with my budget!

First up is this elegant night time/dinner party outfit. The studded detail on the pockets are to die for and add a little edge to this outfit. Of course you can get your hands on Ray Ban look-a-likes instead of splashing out £130 (!!!) this style goes nicely with this outfit I think. How cute are those boots too!

Dress: Simply Be - £18 // Blazer: Newlook - £14.99 // Shoes: Just Fab - £28 // Sunglasses: Ray Ban - £130

This outfit is way more casual, but these awesome strappy sandals dress the outfit up a bit. This would be the perfect outfit for sitting outside a cafe drinking iced tea, watching the boats come in and out...a girl can dream!

Jeans: Yours Clothing - £17.60 (Sale) // Top: Fashion World - £35 // Shoes: Newlook - £24.99 // Sunglasses: Asos -  £12

Monochrome madness, I know, but this outfit is just so classy! I don't usually like this style of jacket, but I think it looks super awesome with this grey top and print trousers. You could add some gold accessories to tie the sandals in or swap them for some black patent heels. Either way it's a perfect look for swanning around Monaco.

Trousers: Newlook - £20 // Top: Evans - £45 // Jacket: Simply Be - £46.50 // Sandals: River Island - £35

Wedding Season

Wedding Season is under way with thousands of brides walking down the aisle every week. Millie is counting down the days until she will become Mrs Galvin! I'm not going to give much away, but her dress is absolutely beautiful and will make her the prettiest bride ever. There's no doubt about it, a wedding is probably the most stressful event you will ever have to organise, but for your guests, it can be equally stressful finding the perfect outfit!

Dress: Simply Be - £39 // Shoes: Just Fab - £59 // Bag: Miss Selfridge - £18 // Flower Hair Grips: Accessorize - £7

This first outfit is gorgeous for a traditional wedding. The colour of this dress is lovely for any time throughout the year, but the nude and peach accessories make this outfit more summery. I think it's classy and elegant and any bride would be happy to have a guest dressed in this outfit!

Dress: Newlook - £29 // Shoes: Faith - £28 // Bag: Accessorize - £17 // Necklace: Debenhams - £20 

This outfit is perfect for a summer wedding that's perhaps taking place outside. The dress alone is summery, but I think the lemon shoes and cute little bee necklace would set this outfit apart from other guests.

Dress: Yours Clothing - £18 // Shoes: Kurt Geiger - £29 (sale) // Bag: Cloggs - £8.99 // Hair band: Accessorize - £17

I think this is a fab party outfit! If you've been invited to the reception and are ready to dance the night away this outfit would be perfect! I'm in love with this outfit, the bows on the shoes are so cute and the heart bag is gorgeous and who doesn't love polka dots?

Millie is crazy busy putting the finishing touches on her wedding plans so won't be posting for a little while, understandably, but you can expect a big wedding special in a couple of weeks when she comes home as Mrs Galvin! I can tell you now though, it's going to be a beautiful day full of gorgeous glittery things, perfect flowers, the cutest bridesmaids outfits and of course, a beautiful bride! So excited!

Celebrity Fatshion - Kourtney Kardashian

Some love them, some loath them, whatever you're feelings are towards them, the Kardashians are undoubtedly fashion giants in the celebrity world. In my opinion, Kourtney has the most desirable wardrobe out of all the sisters. She looks amazing in tailored prints, or wearing a Boho maxi dress. She has the most interesting style, and these are some of my favourite outfits she's been spotted in...

Shocking prints! Kourtney looks amazing in this printed outfit! The plain black accessories and messy up do is a fab match to this bold outfit!

Chevron print is probably one of my favourite patterns, and when matched with this white shirt and colourful wedges it's really put at the for front of this outfit. The retro glasses and head wear adds something special to this look.

Even her laid back style is stylish and effortless! I love that the streak of colour on her hat is reflected in her vintage shorts, and of course Converse are timeless! 

This is one of my favourite looks. This shirt dress is striking and the grey accessories make it stand out even more. It's smart casual at it's best, defo an outfit I'd wear!

Although this is one of the shortest dresses ever, it's gorgeous! Kourtney wears vintage brilliantly, but makes it look even more amazing with edgy accessories and a bright bag!

I love this jumpsuit, it's so colourful and summery and looks great with gold accessories! It would look great down at the beach or for lunch out with the girls.

This dress was worn by Kourtney when she was in 7th Grade...maybe it should have stayed there? But it does show that she can pull of a crazy dress and still look amazing!

I've found a few items that are inspired by Kourtneys style, any of these pieces would make you look amazing at any event!

Shorts: Simply Be - £28 // Shirt: Simply Be - £35 // Converse: Office - £44.99

 Dress: Newlook - £24 // Sunglasses: Simply Be - £16 // Shoes: River Island - £50

Top: Newlook - £14.99 // Jeans: Newlook - £26.99 // Shoes: Topshop - £18

Hope you're enjoying your summer as much as we are!

Summer Time Outfits!

This summer, shopping, sitting in a beer garden and chilling out with friends is what I'm going to be doing most of the time when I'm not working. So I've been surfing the web finding some cute outfits for this summer and I've come across some gorgeous items! 

Firstly, shopping...a key activity! I'm in love with this denim dress from Newlook and this white cardi from Evans with the little hearts, adorable! I also love these wedges, I've got some similar but I think I might need to get these beauties from Dune. And finally this handbag, big enough to fit everything in but it's still sleek and gives this outfit a polished look. 

Chilling out with friends doesn't require too much of a dressing up, so this is the perfect outfit! I adore anything with skulls on it, so I jumped on this shirt when I saw it! These shorts are super cute too, both the shorts and shirt are from Newlook. I also adore Converse, and I've wanted these leopard print lows for ages, you can pick them up from Office or the Converse website. Big bags and big sunglasses are a must! These glasses are gorgeous and can be found on the Topshop website, and this fab coral tote bag is from Accessorize. I have a similar bag in an egg shell blue colour and it's huge! Plenty big enough for a laptop, cables, camera and all other bits! 

This is my favourite outfit out of these three! It's so soft and feminine. The shirt is from Evans and the reason I chose it is because of the lace detail on the shoulders, it makes the shirt even cuter! These jeans are gorgeous, they're the perfect colour, style, shape and the roll up is fab! You can find them at Yours Clothing...they're already in my shopping bag! This bag is stunning! I love the anything with a scallop edge, so this bag from Asos is just perfect, love the colour too. Now, these shoes are rather high, but if you're sitting in a beer garden with friends, you're not going to be doing too much walking, so it's ok to splash out on these wedges from BooHoo.com. I think this scarf from New Look brings the whole look together and adds a little colour and flare. It's a super summery look and I think anyone would look cute in this! 

We'll be putting up more of these outfit ideas as the summer goes on, but for now hopefully this will give you some inspiration to go out and grab yourself some new bits for the summer! 

Happy shopping/chilling out/beer gardening!

Millie does... Sparkle

// SPARKLE

I should probably fill you in on a few minor details before I continue with this post. In exactly 7 weeks time I shall be getting married to a lovely man called Liam. Now, Liam is close to perfect, hence why I'm marrying him, but there's one major flaw in his character - he hates anything sparkly. Being the lovely pre-wife, I have agreed to not have anything sparkly at the wedding, despite my love for glitter!

Next weekend, Lau and I shall be getting our cocktails on and partying the night away at a drag queen show version of Titanic (amazing, right?!) to celebrate my becoming a mrs, and what possible better theme to pick for my hen night than absolute SPARKLE. We're talking sequins. We're talking glitter. We're talking glitter hair spray... I shall be peeing glitter by the end of the evening. Here's a collection of very sparkly inspiration to get us in the party mood and hopefully inspire some of you party girls at the same time!

 // Blue sparkle dress / AX Paris / 45.00 GBP // Gold collar playsuit / Asos Curve / 31.50 GBP // Sequin dress / AX Paris / 31.99 GBP

// Sequin peplum / Sequin tunic / Sequin dress / All from ASOS Curve 

If you're planning on going out but have the perfect LBD or something that looks a little on the plain side, why not add a splash of sparkle with some fabulously outrageous accessories? Even the smallish touch of glitter or sequins can dress up a casual outfit. Here are a few of my favourite glittery accessories and beauty treatments.

// Sparkle necklace / bitsandbobsjewellery.com / 15.99 // Clutch bags / Oasis / From 9.00 GBP // Embellished pumps / New Look / 15.99 GBP

// Glitter Nail Varnish / Barry M / 3.99 GBP // Elegant Touch Nails / River Island / 7.50 GBP

I can't wait to get my glitter on next weekend, we shall post all the sparkly details with outfit choices alongside a few drunk pics of cocktails and the occasional man in a dress that will put all of ours to shame.

Hope you're all having a lovely week!

Work Hard - Play Hard

Worst case  scenario...Finish work at 6.30 and have to be at a party at 7! There's no way you can make it home to change and get to the party on time! So I've come up with an outfit that with the change of shoes, outerwear and accessories goes from work wear to play wear! The dress can be found at Simply Be for a bargain price of £42...

Running around a busy office all day is no place for heels for me, so I've gone for a comfy pair of flats and a big tote bag that will fit all my work things in. I've also chosen a laid back cardigan and elegant pearl earrings and a silver necklace, it's smart but still fairly casual.

Cardigan - Next - £16 / Bag - Accessorize - £32 / Shoes - John Lewis - £49 / Earrings - Juliet & Company - £10.80 / Necklace - Accessorize - £12

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the party, a quick change into this snazzy blazer, big statement necklace, hoop earrings and white heels and I'm ready for a party! I'm in love with this pearl clutch bag, it's just big enough to fit in all my essentials! I also think this would make a lovely summer wedding outfit, it's so soft and romantic, love it!

Blazer - New Look - £22.99 / Bag - Coast - £60 / Shoes - New Look - £24.99 / Earrings - Oliver Bonas - £22 / Necklace - M&S - £15

A spritz of hair spray, touch up of make and perfume and you'll be ready to hit the cocktail bar while people comment on how well made up you look. Little do they know...

You can find this dress and more at Simply Be...I need these in my wardrobe now!

Happy shopping/partying!

It's Summer Sale Time!

We're both so excited that Asos have started their epic sale! I've spend the last hour filling my basket with gorgeous clothes! So I thought I'd share some of my finds with you...

Happy shopping!

Lau does...Leather

Recently, I've found myself drawn to everything leather! Although it's not perhaps the comfiest during hot weather, (not that we have to be worrying about that recently!) it definitely makes a statement! The dress above is the perfect combo of leather and other materials, and gives a more daring look to a fairly regular LBWD...

So how can you incorporate leather into your every day wardrobe? Easily, wet look/pleather leggings can look gorgeous layered up with a white top, blazer and chunky heels, or team a leather skirt with a crisp white shirt for an edgy day in the office. For a cocktail party, a leather panel dress would look gorgeous with killer heels and a bright coloured clutch bag. If you're running late and don't have time to plan out an outfit, a pair of jeans, a cute top, heels and a leather jacket is always a classy look!

If you're looking for something really leathery, but don't fancy wearing a whole cow, a dress like this from Asos Curve is a brilliant option. High impact but still classy with the lace and shapely black panels...so gorgeous!

It's a bold move....but if done well, it's a winner!

Happy shopping, Lau xox

Lau does... Prints

Cooie! First post... so here goes!

Patterns are all the rage this summer. Floral, Vintage and crazy geometric prints are everywhere, and it seems no one can go wrong with a statement print dress. Asos Curve have a fab collection of gorgeous clothes in amazing prints, I can't wait to get my hands on some of them! 

Personally, my favourite dress has to be this one... 

I'd wear it with a navy blazer and heels to dress it up, or wear it with strappy sandals and a cardi to go to lunch with friends. There's no end to the ways you can wear these pieces, they're the perfect base for any occasion!

Asos also have some gorgeous patterned trousers that would look amazing teamed with a plain vest, or clashed with a patterned blazer if you're feeling daring! You can get your hands on one of these pieces for as little as £18! An absolute bargain, there's really no excuse to not treat yourselves to a little slice of patterned perfection this summer!

Millie does... Monochrome

// MONOCHROME

Hello lovely people. This is my first ever post! Eek. Here goes... Since we've been at our new office I have been trying (somewhat in vain) to dress a little smarter than I usually do. It's Summer, sort of, so I feel like I should be covering myself in floral patterns and brightly coloured accessories, but black and white is just so darn classic. Not to mention powerful. And pretty hot. I feel like I mean serious business when I'm monochromed up. Here is a collection of some of this season's hottest monochrome beauties.

// ASOS Curve | Culottes | Size 18-26 | 12.00 GBP // ASOS Curve | Swing Dress | Size 18-26 | 24.00 GBP

// New Look Inspire |  Midi Dress | Size 18-28 | 14.99 GBP // Forever 21 + |  Lace Shorts  | Size 18-24 | 16.75 GBP

// Pretty Polly Curve | Tights | One Size | 10.00 GBP // Evans | Heart Cut Belt | 8.00 GBP // Accessorize | Selection of bags | From 25.00 GBP // New Look | Cut Out Sandals | Wide Fit | 22.99 GBP

Black and white is everywhere at the moment, this is just a teeny tiny selection of what's out there. Let us know if you find anything fabulous, I have zero doubt that you will!

Happy shopping.
