TravelSupermarket Worldwide Wardrobe!

My friend put me onto the TravelSupermarket.com Worldwide Wardrobe Competition and I just had to get involved! I love these competitions where you put together outfits for different occasions. Each outfit must come under £200 and the winner will win a holiday and £200 to buy their winning outfit! Go check the competition out for yourselves here and please link me to any entries if you get involved! The themes for the outfits were: Clubbing in Ibiza; Shopping in London; Sightseeing in Paris; Cocktails in New York and Partying at a Full Moon Party in Thailand. So here's what I've but together. 

Clutch; Shoes; Earrings; Top; Skirt.

Ibiza is somewhere I've never been nor do I have the intention of going there. I'm personally not into dance music or such like and I don't drink so it's not really a good combo for me! However, I played the game and put together an outfit in the event that I did go clubbing in Ibiza. I found this outfit really hard to put together as I didn't want to go down the super-dressy look, I wanted to keep it wearable for the super hot climate of Spain. I saw this skirt and fell inlove! I love the rose gold lace band and the shape would flatter my figure really well. I teamed it with a simple lace crop-top and then went for contrasting neon coral accessories. I'm actually thinking of buying this clutch as I love the colour and the high shine patent leather look is super hot. I thought these perspex jewel earrings from New Look were really unusual and I think they top off the outfit nicely. I don't think I've done too bad in the end tbh! 

Dress; Bag; Shoes; Necklace. 

When someone says they're going out for cocktails, I immediately think they're going to a classy joint. So I wanted my New York outfit to be more sophisticated than party-girl. I want this bag so so bad- mint is my favourite colour at the moment and combined with studs and a really unusual satchel shape, I think I might be in love. So I built this outfit around the bag- starting with the monochrome body-con dress. Now I think I'd have to squeeze myself into some pretty unattractive control underwear to look good in this dress but I love the panelling and contrasting colours and fabrics. I like the chunkiness of these heels and think they'd be super comfortable and easy to walk in- plus they'll go with anything! I'm definitely not a blingy girl but this necklace is stunning. The gems are encrusted onto white leather and I love the white rope necklace- I think this pulls the outfit together. 

Dress; Holdall; Hat; Necklace; Creepers; Jacket.

Well, there's no surprises that the most casual outfit category was my favourite! It's actually extra exciting for me because I'm going on a shopping weekend to London with my chum in July which I'm soooooooo looking forward to. I love this jersey dress from Topshop but I've only ever seen it in store in the petite section so I've never got my hands on it. I'm so close to buying this holdall, you don't even know! I saw it last week when I went shopping and thought it'd be a perfect weekend/overnight bag. It is absolutely massive so I don't know when else I'd use it but who cares- its gorgeous! I'm a huge Drop Dead fan and I thought I'd rep the North in the capital with this super cute wooly hat- plus it's England, you never know what the weather will be like! I've added a black chain and leopard print creepers for some contrasting textures and this super versatile leather-look jacket will keep me warm but looking cool (see what I did there?). I want this entire outfit now please. 

Bra Top; Skirt; Sunglasses; Bag; Trainers; Lipstick; Cardigan.

I wanted to combine comfort with cuteness in this look. Paris is the home of fashion so the stakes are high with this outfit! I love the shape combo of this spotty bra top and denim-look skater skirt- I think it'd really suit my figure. I've gone for Vans-style white trainers for maximum comfort whilst I'm walking round the Louvre and climbing up the Eiffel Tower. I couldn't resist going all-out mint for my accessories on this one! How amazing is this bag?!? I love the mesh look with the granny-chic vibe but the mint green makes it oh-so modern. I thought this mint cardi would be a great cover up, plus it'd fit in my bag if it was nice and warm. 

Bag; Shoes; Dress; Headband. 

I thought this coral dress had a bit of a Thai-vibe with the embellished neckline. I also think it'd be nice and cool for the sub-tropical weather over in Thailand, which is a country me and my boyfriend have always wanted to visit. These M&S shoes are so on-trend, it's not even funny. I tried them on irl in the most beautiful mint colour but I couldn't justify buying them but I think the black version look suitably summery and dressy for a party. I love this River Island handbag (oh me and my bag obsession!) with it's coral croc-look and the tonal panelled look. I couldn't really find any jewellery I liked to top off this outfit so I went for a good old Crown and Glory floral headband in contrasting pastel pink, green and lilac. 

I hope you like my entries, let me know what you think! Now I'm supposed to nominate five of my followers or five bloggers I follow to get involved in this competition so I'll just tweet any bloggers I've got on Twitter with the link- but there's no pressure to get involved! Thanks for stopping by x

Boohoo #PartyPose Competition.

Dress; Ring; False Eyelashes; Bag; Shoes all from boohoo.com. 

I guess the run-up to Christmas puts companies in a festive mood as they all seem to be holding giveaways at the moment! Boohoo.com are asking what is your #PartyPose and for bloggers to style their perfect boohoo party outfit for under £100. I am a fan of the boohoo as I think they make good quality, good value clothes. The prize is £100 for the winning outfit as well as £250 for the winning blogger to give away to their readers- so everyone's a winner! Check out how to enter here and please link me to any of your entries as I'd love to have a nosy. 

There were soooooooooo many great value party dresses to choose from, tbh I didn't know where to start! I fell in love with this red lace patterned dress- to me this just screams Christmas party. I really like the neckline of this dress and we all know how I'm a sucker for a skater. I wanted to keep the accessories really simple but I feel like the suede texture of the bag and shoes make them feel as every bit as Christmasy as the dress. I've seen shoes like these ones in Topshop for around 3 times the price so I think these are a mega bargain! I've developed an obsession with box clutches- even though I don't actually own any- my eyes are just drawn to them everywhere at the minute. I went with the ridiculous false eyelashes because that's the kind of girl I am; I've never understood why people would want to wear 'natural' looking false lashes, the bigger the better I say! Finally, I went with this ring as I like how it's a kind of gunmetal, purple shade rather than being clear. 

I hope you like my entry and don't forget to check it out yourself if you fancy getting involved!

Passion For Fashion.

I've decided to enter the moneysupermarket.com Passion For Fashion competition, somewhat last minute as it closes this evening at midnight! The idea of the competition is for bloggers to create five looks costing no more than £200 each with items from your fave high street stores. The looks are office, outdoor, casual, first date and party. I've spent yesterday and today putting together my outfits- I wanted to challenge myself to try different looks and create outfits that combine great bargains with more expensive pieces that will span the seasons. I've really enjoyed doing this competition as I love putting together wishlists and outfits. Here's my entry...

Coat; Necklace; Treggings; T-shirt; Rings; Bag; Boots.

I pretty much live in casual clothes so I'm not gonna lie, I found this outfit pretty easy to put together! I am officially inlove with this coat- the combination of tartan, leather sleeves and faux fur is just me in a coat! It's a little on the pricey side at £85 but I think it's totally worth it as it'll go with everything and would be a perfect everyday coat. These treggings are kind of American Apparel Disco Pant dupes (clearly not shiny ones) but the combination of legging material and trouser design mean that I could wear them with t-shirts without worrying about my bum being on show! I love those lil felines so I had to go with this slouchy t-shirt from Topshop. I've mentioned these creeper boots before and for me, these have got to be the ultimate AW12 shoes. This bag is perfect for everyday use as I can fit all my rubbish in it that I insist on carrying around. I thought I'd stick with fairly simple jewellery. To me, this outfit shows just how much you can get for £200 on the high street- even with the expensive coat. 

Dress; Shoes; Collar; Bag; Cardigan.

I'm not gonna lie, this outfit made me the most nervous. My last first date was a good few years ago with my current boyfriend and in hindsight, I must have looked crazy- I wore a black jumper dress with leopard print tights and black boots. I must have done something right though! I don't really wear a lot of colour (as you can probably tell) but I fell in love with the blush tone of this dress. I didn't want to go too dressy, because I don't want my imaginary date to think I'm desperate (or worse) so I thought I'd go for something a bit classic with a modern twist. I think this pearly collar will layer beautifully over the t-shirt top of the dress and this cardigan just looks so snuggly and cosy. These shoes mean business; I love the classic shape with the massive heel and platform- I don't know where I'm going on this date but I hope it's not far! I topped this outfit off with this lovely River Island bag with the multi-tonal grey and nude shades with an art-deco feel to it. 

Coat; Shoes; Tights; Dress; Bag. 

I wanted to do a monochrome androgynous style outfit for the office look as it's something different for me. I found this dress which I think would really suit my shape whilst still nodding to the masculine look, being a play on the classic white shirt. I know the dress and coat are on the expensive side but I think this proves how bargain accessories can work well with expensive clothing. I fell inlove with this boyfriend coatigan as it could be dressed up or down; I also think it'd look nice belted up. I didn't add any jewellery to this outfit as sometimes it can make a work outfit look too casual or blingy. I lovelovelove this moc-croc Topshop satchel style bag- I wanted something size appropriate that could fit my diary and glasses etc in as well as being super stylish. I also love these shoes as they nod to the animal print trend and the teddy-boy trend as they remind me of creepers whilst being work-appropriate. I also think these shoes would be ridiculously comfy. 

Shirt; Shorts; Wellies; Coat; Socks; Mittens.

I truly love this outfit! You can't do outdoor without a bit of lumberjack check now can you? I like this shirt because you could always layer a black knit jumper over it or wear it with jeans for a casual look but it also works really well with these super cute shorts for outdoor gamblings! As I'm on the curvier side of things, I sometimes struggle to get into wellies as they are most unforgiving. I've chose these cute polka dot ones from Marisota as they come in different leg widths for extra comfort. Another slouchy furry coat, but can you blame me? I love me a parker and this one looks super warm and cosy. I went with these seudey mittens in case it's super cold on my Sunday walk in the forest. 

Dress; Shoes; Bag; Earrings. 

I found the party look the most challenging from a budget point of view- most high street party dresses are around the £150 price mark but are often ridiculously 'out there' so you could probably only get away with wearing them once, and to me, that's a waste of money. So I instead splurged on these g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s Jeffrey Campbell studded shoes which will never go out of style in my books and are super versatile. I think this dress is really pretty with the baby pink lace design and floaty skirt; it'll really compliment my shape too and hide all the lumps and bumps around my hips. I love the mother of pearl effect on this box bag- it's not the most practical of bags but the muted colour means I'd be able to use it again. But what more do you need than your phone and some lippy at a party really? I just went for some cute lil stud earrings with this outfit as I wanted the dress and shoes to do all the talking. I wanted to keep my neck area open as I think the embellishment on the top of the dress should be the focus. 

I've soooooooooooooo enjoyed putting together these outfits and it's been an eye-opener to see what else is out there on the high-street other than what I might normally go for. It's also been good to see what you can get for £200 and it's true that you can mix bargains with more pricey pieces. I would challenge you guys to do this but time is running out as the competition closes at midnight tonight! Let me know what you think of my outfit choices and which one is your favourite!
