style alert : sheer blouses

hello ugly beautiful

wow-zers havent posted on here for awhile. now i will explain why... 

as you all know i've just started my college which is a boarding school with houses etc but if you don't know what this is - its basically HOGWARTS with unfortunately no magic. you have the different houses the dining hall with the four long tables the original oak furnishings , a chapel and all the rest of it. so as you can see as the school contains everything you can tell the work need is heavy duty so naturally i have had ZERO free time to write posts n here. not to mentions the exams and assessments ive just had!

but now i have just under 2 weeks off so i'm making the most of them by relaxing when i can and typing up posts on here. so here is a post about sheer blouses- as you can tell by then title. now what i've found with them is that they are available in a variety of colours and also have a few selected prints aswell.

so here i have picked out a couple of my favourites.

so here is a long nude blouse which i love it is from farfetch it has two main layers one dark so you cant see your bra underneath then a flowey out layer to add a hint of elegance. love this blouse you can get it HERE

this is a black sheer blouse form topshop and so i found out you cannot find this particular one in-store its only online which i wasnt chuffed about. but i love the panelling on this one and the face it has long sleeves and darker black cuffs. i love this piece so versatile and will never go out of style. you can get it HERE and it costs £32 pounds - which is an average price of this particular styled item

 again this is another sheer blouse from topshop. one thing you have to consider with this particular item is sizing. as ive found some are either to baggy at the front or good but too tight on the arms so i recommend trying them on before buying. so i found out at the store. i love this one for the gold button detailing it just makes this piece a little bit more formal and more luxe - get more information on this top HERE !

lastly here is an alternative one from warehouse which is a bit of an oddball of the trend as it features a peep hole and bow sheer material which does elongate which can make you look like you have a male part *you know what im on about* between your legs so if you do go for this one make sure either to tuck in the excess ribeens of double knot the bow. i lvoe this particular one for the top half and central detailing either side of the button fastening area- never seen this before and i honestly lvoe it. you can get more information on this top HERE . but be warned due to all the fancy features this top rakes in at £50!

So what do you think of these blouses - which one took your fancy?

trend alert : a passion for lace on Lanvin A/W 2011

taa dah.

i'm back with a post to you all about lace. this trend got its heritage from the minute Catherine Middleton stepped out of the car at West Minister Abbey in a Sarah Burton's exquisite wedding dress. with an imposing train detailed with  intricate appliques with hints of lace which cascaded down the piece. and this is what created the love affair of lace. 

now this affair was endorsed and re-created on the runway to fit the autumn winter trends. in this post i will be showing you how lace trend was incorporated on the Lanvin runway. i have picked out my favourite pieces and explain to you why i like them. 

i found this particular runway the lace detailing was particularly featured on very heavy-lace shifts - although there was the odd exception to the rule with some feminine lace cuts which were carefully applied  in a minimalistic view.

this is by far my favourite lace incorporated look from the runway as it is all entirely lace the way the shoulders have been roached in a waterfall manor it just stunning. finished off with some tribal inspired jewellery and some minimal leather boots and gloves. gorgeous although you wont be seeing me wearing that anytime soon.

next up is this gothic edgy piece. which features a turtle neck if you will incorporated into the dress - long time no see on Lanvin runway. a classic shift dress but with a twist with a single layer of lace to be sleeves and a classic leather belt to cinch in the waist and to sculpt to the wearers figure. a more wearable item out of the runway - i wish i could own .

lastly a certainly over board look to really feature this trend. a full over coat made of lace - lets just wish she doesnt pluck it! as you can tell the lace used in all of the Lanvin runway is circular floral patterns which luckily for us has easily been merged into hughstreet items aka topshop's latest lace crop tops feature this detailing.

Finally to finish off this post i wanted to show you the make-up looks used on the runway and also the hair trend which all the models had. 

 Make-up 

the makeup as you can see a quick messy smokey eye with a marl grey and black eyeshadow messily applied in the signature 'box shape' from the outer third of the lid to the crease and finally blended out towards the end of the brows to really open the eye. then the rest of the makeup is minimal to balance the face with suspected a neutral pink lipstick like angel from m.a.c dabbed onto the lips and blotted for a wash of colour.

“We wanted the girls to look like they’d done the makeup themselves. To that end, masacra was applied (and re-applied) to each girl’s lashes, so that they’d look ‘cloggy and clumpy’ the makeup is not at all perfect—it’s all about imperfection.” said the stylist

 Hair 

Redken wool shake 08 Gel slush texturizer was used to roughen the hair to create an intentionally thick hair. this was then messily combed back and all the hair was plaited , but then leaving about a 2 inch tip of unbraided hair. any loose parts were shaken and simply left as the whole idea was imperfection is beauty - and indeed it was beautiful.

“We’ve downplayed very glamorous clothes with a very easy hairstyle. Alber [Elbaz, Lanvin designer] wanted ease and femininity, so we did a very soft, very simple, very girly braid.” says the stylist.

So what do you think of the Lanvin runway? Are you LOVING IT or LEAVING IT let me know in a comment below.

trend alert : the high slit skirt

*neee nawh nee nawh*

trend alert- the sky high slit.

Skirt - Asos £25

wow what a stunning look I’m sure you will agree.we’ve already been through the trend of the maxi skirt but now both designers and highstreet have added their own touch to this look by …. adding a slit to it. simple but yet effective.perfect for summer if you ask me making your legs more visible and letting a draft in …not so great in you live in the cooler countries *hint hint* uk you suck.

With this trend its not only for day wear it can be incorporated into an evening dress like so.now this one has been done before but that’s why the clever people who think of these trend haven’t just gone for one slit in the skirt oh no they were more cool than that.

In some scenarios they’ve added two. To make it extra new and clever.don't over do it  highstreet please?!

So you’re wondering how can I achieve this look? Well lucky for you I have listed where the first killer skirt is from which is pictured in the photo above so you can wear this trend.be sure to tell me which one you like the best -day or night slit skirt look or both  if you cant decide .let me know in a comment below.
