Style Collage: Spring Time Happiness

White Button Up Shirt

Boyfriend Jeans

Black Heels

Satchel Bag

Cat Eye Sunglasses

Necklace

Lipstick  

About two or three years ago I had the biggest obsession with a website called Polyvore. It is basically a website that lets you create collages of all sorts of things - fashion, beauty, shoes and all that jazz. You have complete freedom to browse through a huge online closet full of images for you to mix and match.  There are also a bunch of fonts and effects for you to play with the add to your collage (*cough* procrastination central *cough*).  I have linked all the different items above but if you click here you can check out my Polyvore account where this collage as well as future ones will be available to save/favourite and to check out the links for the various items. Now onto the collage Spring Time Happiness..

Here in England the Spring/Summer weather is beginning to appear (today was wonderful - 17 or so degrees.. yes please) so for this special occasion I thought I would make a little fashion collage based on this time of year. Just to clarify - I do love heels but I don't know if I could handle wearing them all day erryday.. I truly admire the ladies who can but I, sadly, am not one of them. However, I thought a sexy pair of black pumps would just look fabulous with this outfit - don't you agree? As I have mentioned in a previous post, I am a big fan of the ripped up boyfriend jean trend and I have recently seen a lot of girls wearing them with either white button ups or white tank tops... And it looks amazing. There is just something so perfect about denim jeans and a white top - it just screams summer time to me. Personally, I prefer the more oversized shirts and tops for summer - easy and breezy, ammirite?Depending on what time of day you are planning to rock this outfit.. a red lip could be added as a way of spicing it up a little bit. A red lip is always a good idea. I have this one brick red lipstick from MAC cosmetics that I love because it is the perfect deep red and has a lovely texture and pigmentation. 

Let's talk accessories now, shall we? First - the handbag. If you haven't come across the Mulberry Alexa Bag you must be living under a rock or avoiding it on purpose. This is one of those bags that will be fashionable for a very long time in my opinion, especially the brown and black leathers because they can be paired with pretty much everything and anything. No - I do not own this beautiful specimen of bag but a girl can dream! Next up is probably the most essential accessory at this time of the year - a lovely pair of sunnies. I have a very round and weird face, which makes it difficult for me to find sunglasses that don't make me look like a bug (also I am ridiculously picky..). One of the very few styles that suits me in the world of sunglasses is the cat eye - a timeless sunglass shape if you ask me. Finally we have some bling - the cherry on top of any outfit. I never really wear a tonne of jewellery but when I do it is mainly rings (I have 5 rings that I always wear) and necklaces. Necklaces, especially, can really just add that something extra to an outfit - whether you are going out for drinks or for a shopping trip. It is such a small and simple detail that can have a great effect and complete an outfit. Next up on my necklace wish list is a huge, chunky statement piece.

Hope all you wonderful people enjoyed this post! Have a beautiful day!

Much Love,

Caroline

By The Way...

This is probably the most random thing I have ever done and is also incredibly unlikely to happen but I entered this contest under Best International Blog - Newcomer. Yes - I think I may have lost my mind and yes, I have only just started this blog but why not give it a shot? (WOOP for self confidence/insanity - not quite sure which one it is at the moment) This is a tiny little blog that I am falling more and more in love with every day and I would really love to see it slowly grow and develop into something wonderful! Company is one of my favourite magazines (it is kind of like the British Nylon if any of you are looking for a new magazine addiction) and what could be better than combining two loves of mine - the magazine and the blog. 

Okay - I am just ranting now because I honestly feel a little bit silly for just nominating myself for this when I probably have no chance in hell but hey! Its summer and I am almost done with my second year of university so why not take a random chance!

If you guys are interested in nominating me than you can click here :) It is really simple and it would mean a lot! Before anyone gets the wrong idea - I am doing this to promote something that I am truly proud of and something that I love doing. That is all. Thank you for reading this slightly rant-esque post and thank you to anyone who votes (I LOVE YOU). Hope you are all doing wonderfully!

Much Love,

Gurl, I Like Your Style: Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is another celebrity that I have a love/hate relationship with.. I am not a fan of her music (or her taste in men.. if you can even call Justin Bieber that) but I do admire the way she has transitioned from Disney girl into her own (yes - I actually enjoyed Spring Breakers). The same goes for her evolution of style. Although she sometimes takes her skirt a little too short and her heels a little too stripper-esque (there have only been a few but seriously.. no one needs to wear shoes like that when doing a food shop...), her style is overall one that I really really like and I look to for inspiration. When looking at her red carpet/event style in contrast to her everyday style, I must admit that my preference remains with her everyday clothes.. I want it all! Some of her events dresses, however, cannot be ignored and deserve some serious adoring (that girl knows how to wear a plunging v-neck - werk gurl). Below are some of my favourite Selena Gomez outfits - enjoy!

Not only is her style amazing but this girl has a luscious head of hair as well (probably a weave.. at least thats what I tell myself to hold back my hair envy) and amazing legs. I'm not jealous. Not at all. I just love how she can go from looking stunning in a pair of shorts and a jumper carrying a fast food drink to rocking a hot red blazer and skirt set... One fine day I will own a closet just like it! I must admit.. Selena Gomez is probably one of the only celebrities where I can point to something she has worn and gone guurl what the fuck were you thinking?! Keep up the good taste! 

Much Love,

Lovely Links: Three

Lovely Links is back! For the third post in this "series" there is a little bit of everything - a cocktail of online goodies. Let's just dive into it, shall we?

1. Nylon Magazine is the holy grail of all magazines in my opinion - it is creative, interesting and well written. Being subscribed to them on Facebook means that I constantly get updates from their website and blog about what new and snazzy things they have found (I think I use the word snazzy too much), one of which are these amazing Emoji Loafers. They aren't exactly in my student price range (damn it) but they still need to be shared and drooled over - they are hilarious and pretty at the same time - jackpot. 
2. Next up is an artist by the name of Luke Dixon. There isn't really much to say about his work other than.. IT IS SO COOL AND DETAILED AND BEAUTIFUL! He does everything from posters to t-shirts and is just so amazingly talented - please go check him out! You won't be sorry!
3. Everyone loves a little bit a juicy celebrity gossip every once in a while.. Some of us embrace it and others deny it.. And with that I would like to introduce you all to the wonder that is Oh No They Didn't! This is a wonderland of celebrity news, gossip and everything in between. It is a part of livejournal so it is written by a large group of people instead of just one. Plus.. the community that comes with this website is scrumptious. 
4. I don't have every many girl crushes but Anna Kendrick is positively one of them. Just to show how awesome this human being is, I am gonna leave this pearl of a Buzzfeed article here. Enjoy.

Until next time... Take care!

Much Love,

Caroline

Let's Talk... Pillows/Cushions

These posts are clearly showing how badly I want my own place to decorate the shit out of.. I feel like such a boring old lady! Hopefully you guys do find these posts somewhat interesting and I sincerely hope I don't bore you to death with them (please let me know if they do and I promise to stop and leave these things solely to my pinterest - scouts honour). So far we have had coffee table books and makeup palettes and now we are moving onto a hidden obsession of mine - pillows and cushions. If I had the money and storage I would buy loads and loads of different pillows. I am the kind of person who loves piling cushions onto couches and beds because I think it looks cozy and snazzy (that combo right there)! When it comes to decorative pillows and cushions (is there actually a difference or is it another British vs. American pronunciation thing that is happening here?) I prefer them simple.. so not with loads of colour and pattern but instead with sketches, small pops of colours or quotes/phrases (not cheesy ones though!). To give you guys an idea of what I mean/what kind of pillows I like, I have added some examples down below. Enjoy!

FYI - I have a huge obsession with sugar skulls. Like HUGE. I think they are so interesting and beautiful, so why not have them on a pillow!

The following pillows are ones that I really like because you can personalise them and add your own touch!

This is something I would love to do one day - it's a really nice way of keeping a memory. Take any ticket - plane, bus, train.. boat even.. from a trip that is special to you. Some people might find this ridiculous and cliche but I think its a sweet idea!

This is another simple idea for a personalised pillow/cushion - the coordinates of somewhere meaningful. This is probably my favourite one.

I cannot believe that I just wrote an entire post on pillows.. What have I become?! To be fair.. I can't be the only person in the world with random obsessions like this.. They are so pretty! Can you blame me? 

I hope you guys enjoyed this rather random post - Have a lovely day!

Much Love,

Caroline

Gurl, I Like Your Style: Emma Watson

Although I feel that Emma Watson isn't the most amazing actress (I will love Harry Potter 'til the day I die.. but Perks Of Being A Wall Flower... Really?) the girl does know how to carry herself in interviews and how to dress (high five to your stylist). I was on Grazia Daily earlier and I found a post on the Best of Emma Watson and I thought I would share some of the choices here (these are my favourites). Emma Watson is one of those actresses that I look to when I am lacking inspiration (there are more fashion inspirations to come, fear not). Feast your eyes on the lovely ensembles below..

Also - can we all just take a second and soak up the fact that she can make a white top and denim shorts look amazing? If only I could do that...

I hope you all liked this quick, little post! There will be more like it to come! 

Much Love,

Caroline
