FROM YOURS TRULY: Style

THE DEEP BLUE SEA

Todays post is showcasing a beach photo shoot I did with my good friend Melissa. She needed some images for a uni project and I was more than happy to help out. I've been wanting to share these incredible images with you guys for ages. This by far has been my favourite shoot and I'm absolutely in love with the photos. It was such a lovely day and the beach was the perfect place to shoot. The sky was so clear and the prettiest shade of blue. Looking back on these images makes me wish it was summer already. I honestly can't get over how well the pictures turned out and how much fun I had.

I hope you enjoy this post and love the images as much as I do.

FASHION BLOGS WORTH THE READ.

Life

There's nothing better than ending the day cuddled up in bed spending some quality time with your laptop searching to your hearts content. I personally love to have a flick through some of my favourite fashion blogs, often leading to new discoveries of other bloggers, Instagram accounts, youtube channels.... even a few sneaky online purchases. There are so many inspirational and motivating fellow bloggers out there that share their style and passion to the world. Here are some incredibly beautiful and talented ladies that I admire and that continue to inspire me. I hope your comfy and have a warm tea or beverage close at hand as this might be a long chatty post.

1. BEAUTYCRUSH- Sammi was the first person who introduced me to the world of youtube and blogging, it just seemed fitting to start with her first. I have watched beautycrush for a long time and have always enjoyed reading her blog. I love her style, I love her hair, I love her personality, her tattoos and her dogs especially! Sammi is so incredibly beautiful and is definitely one to check out. She loves all thing beauty and fashion related. She is also a big foodie and always recommends good place to check out. All up you will find a little bit of everything on her blog and she will never fail to leave you inspired or just incredibly jealous!

2. PATRICIA BRIGHT- I first discovered Patricia on youtube where she shares her love for makeup and sharing her style. She also shares her words of wisdom along with the adventures she has endured within her life. Patricia is a beautiful and young twenty something year old that lives in London. She is absolutely stunning! I adore her down to earth, humble personality and I love how she specks the honest truth. I'm in love with her style and fashion sense! The picture quality and creativity is nothing but perfection, I'm obsessed with her photographs, super gorgeous. Check her out for sure!

3. SHINE BY THREE- This girl is amazing! I heard about Margaret on the television show 'fashion bloggers'- ummm super awesome show btw. She is an incredible professional photographer who works with magazines and is able to shoot editorials with some amazing designers and models. Not to mention that she also models herself. This girl is one blogger who inspired me and pushed me to pursue my passion for photography. The images are so amazing I honestly can't get over how beautiful they are.

4. IN THE FROW- My current blog crush at the moment! I can't get over how stunning this lovely lady is. I want her purple hair so bad!!!! I'm obsessed with her style and how she pulls together her outfits. Victoria is also another one of my favourite british youtubers. Her blog has a combination of style and beauty posts including 'get the look', reviews, how to and many more. I'm so happy I discovered her channel as I'm sure you would be. Like many well know and successful bloggers these days, Victoria attends collaborating meeting with brands and is able to attend exclusive events- I'm extremely jealous, i mean who wouldn't be.

5. KAYTURE- This girl graces all my social media feeds and I can't help but keep up to date with all the incredible stuff she is doing. Attending meetings with high end brands, modelling in photo shoots or updating her blog, there is just so much to see and know about Kayture- aka Kristina. I love her style and continuously jealous of her incredible fun filled life. She consistently travels the world collaborating with other bloggers and brands. Again like all the other blogs I follow, the image quality of her photographs are amazing! She is so beautiful and wouldn't mind having her lovely long locks...

I know I didn't do these girls justice, but do go and check out their blogs they are honestly worth the read and would be so inspiring. There are so many more blogs I could have listed but we would be here for days. Let me know who some of your favourite fellow bloggers are, I would love to know.

POP OF COLOUR: FIFTY SHADES OF GREEN.

Style

Like myself, many find wearing colour to be quite daunting and may find it difficult to style. Colour is just colour, all you need is confidence. This may seem obvious and I may sound a little silly pointing this out but it's the truth. It doesn't matter what you wear, it's how you wear it and how you feel that counts. For me, I have my moment of dare devil fashionista, but at times I do struggle to be creative and daring.

The key to wearing colour is confidence and subtlety. Gradually work colour into you wardrobe whether thats through accessorising, incorporating it into elements of your makeup or in my case, one key piece. I find it much easier to work with one block of colour. This could be a shirt, coat, shoes, dress or bright green pants... I like to pair colour with contrasting tones black and white, which compliment your chosen pop of colour. This also works with a patterned piece. Slowly incorporate it into your look by choosing one key piece to work with. This way the look isn't too over powering but has that little bit extra. People will look at you and envy your confidents and ability to be bold.

If your still shying away from the idea of adding a bright hue within your wardrobe, then invest in a clutch or a pair of shoes.That way it isn't too much going on but still a little something to change up your look. I'm thinking of doing a post showcasing multiple ways to rock colour through the world of accessories, let me know what you think. I hope this post as always inspires you to try and be daring and try out ways to wear all things colour.

MONOCHROME MADNESS.

Style

Blazer- TEMT, Dress- Supre, Shoes- Topshop & Bag- Colette. Lippy from MAC 'Russian Red'.
Photography By: Melissa

If your like me and thinking about what to wear is a stressful task that often results in messy room syndrome, then why not keep it simple. Whenever I'm in a rush or under pressure to get ready I tend to stick to the good old black and white basics- I mean why not make life easy. Besides, these contrasting tones can create such an effortless chic look, no matter what you wear. Black and white are my go to colours and always make an appearance in my daily wardrobe.

This outfit is simple and easy to rock during the day along with transitioning for a night out. What I love about this look is how simplistic and effortless it looks. Its super comfy and instantly looks put together. It makes me look like Iv'e put loads more effort into the look than I actually have- umm yass! So if your ever unsure or frantically panicking, always remember monochrome is your friend. I dare you to try a daily dose of monochrome madness...

FOUR WAYS TO WEAR: THE FLANNEL SHIRT

Style

The flannel shirt is an iconic trend setter piece that I have loved wearing recently. I find it super fun and easy to style up, simply a must have piece. The flannel shirt is super easy to dress up along with staying true to it's cool and casual feel. It's incredibly easy to recreate these styled looks alone but also to personalise them for your own unique style. We all need a little flannel in our wardrobes and theres a way to wear it for everyone.

GRUNGE GIRL :TIED AT THE WAIST

I call this look the 'Grunge Girl' as it is inspired by the cool, rock chick trend. This look in particular is one of my favourite and most worn looks. It's super easy to put together and looks effortless. I love this styled outfit. Super laid back casual and most important, incredibly comfy!

CROP TOP-Kmart, FLANNEL SHIRT -Chicabooti, JEANS- Cottonon & SHOES- Topshop

FLAWLESS FARMER : BUTTON UP

This look would have to be the most traditional way to wear any button up shirt. To add that little cowgirl/farmer flair- if the print and colour alone didn't do it for you, then tie the bottom of the shirt at the waist. This just add that little something extra but still very laid back casual.

CASUAL COOL GIRL: THE THROW ON

For those of you who are more laid back or not fussed about personalising the look, just throw on the shirt and your good to go. Not much effort needed and still can look super cute. This look is for the lazy, casual, chilled days where all the effort is in the smile- or in this case super posy pictures.

FLANNEL CHIC: ON THE SHOULDERS

If you want to look super chic and feel like a fashionista then try out this next look. I call it flannel chic!- so original... Whether your wearing your favourite trench, throw over a comfy cardigan or a flannel shirt, you will always look effortlessly chic and confident. I love this look!

Hope you all enjoyed this little 'ways to wear' post and that this some what inspires you to try out some of the looks.
