' Power Dressing & A Hint Of Chanel...'



I don't own many ' figure hugging '  dresses, so when I saw this mixed material black tight beauty I had to purchase it - I call it my POWER DRESS! It was a steal at £10 in the sale but at the full price of £24.99 it still would have been a bargain. 

 For A/W14 I'm really into leather mixed garments with colour pops to add to just plain old black, hence the dusty yellow jacket which I have had my eye on ever since they came on Primarks Instagram ( it comes in pink also). I love the collar cut and the jacket is pretty simple because the colour is so eye popping. Its a smart cut jacket fit for any style which is what I love about it. 

 To dress my outfit down as I was working & also going for a casual meal afterwards for my boyfriends birthday, I didn't want any ' dressy dressy ' stilettos so I opted for my best winter buy Zara neoprene boots to toughen up the jacket & dress.

 With it being a special occasion though, the pride of my accessory department came out to pay a visit as it's been kept in the box tucked up for a while now - La Chanel sac à main.

' Monochromed For London '


Sorry this blog post is late, it's been a busy couple of weeks & this week I've been right under the weather. I can't handle this being ill lark.....(feeling sorry for myself)

Anyway, a couple of weekends a go I went to London with work for the night & attended the Toni & Guy show to launch their 2014-15 collection. The catwalk show was pretty cool with lots of models wearing the coolest & quirkiest hairstyles with lovely colours of different shades & tones. The outfits also were wicked! From pretty girly girl styles to ultimate grunge / garage rock babe. I got some great hair & fashion inspo - a two for one show (Some videos of the catwalk are over on my Instagram - @sevenstylesaweek).

I always like to look chic by power dressing when I visit the beautiful London town, but that all depends on which part of the city I may be. My outfit consisted of sheer, fringed & leather fabrics in a  sophisticated monochrome. I wore my new peplum Cami from New Look with my H&M leather look trousers and Zara neoprene boots which are my new fave A/W go to kicks! Without layering it would have looked like I was going on a night out with girls who like to flaunt a little too much which is not me, so I opted for one of my ivory blouses left unbuttoned and the Roman Originals fringed shrug created the chic, high fashion ' Devil Wears Prada ' looking vibe.

Accessories - Long layered bronze beads to hide any unnecessary cleavage on show & some super cool caption rimmed sunglasses to make heads turn.

' Grunge Vibes 'N' High Public Platforms'


A couple of weeks ago on one hungover morning let me add, I woke up and scanned through Instagram only to find I had lots of 'likes' and around 50 more followers only that morning, I kind of thought it had to be an error on the site but it turns out I had won a competition that I'd entered a few days ago!

It was a pair of shoes by Public desire, to celebrate their upcoming launch party they teamed up with some pro bloggers to win a pair of PB's amazing statement shoes. I was so happy that morning,
1. Because of my huge love for shoes
2. Because I was very grateful & honoured to be picked & I've never won anything in my life!
3. Errrr, hello a COMPLIMENTARY pair of shoes, this hardly ever happens!!!

This is them - meet Lana (worth £24.99)


The blogger who collaborated with Public Desire in my win was Gracie Francesca , she's a Blogger, Youtuber , Female Empowerment Advocate & a Mental Health Awarness Worker... Phew! How does she fit it all in. She's one amazing woman with her own sense of style who stands up for what she believes in. She tweets almost everyday & does lot's of meets - check her out in twitter @graciefrancesca ...
Her blog is UglyFaceOfBeauty go to www.graciefrancesca.com for great posts of fashion pieces, instagram photos, to tips on how to be happier. She covers it all. So THANK YOU Gracie for selecting me as your winner for the PB Competition, I love the shoes.....

*********************************************************************************

My outfit here consisted of ripped denim, sheer fabric and a little leather. I felt like I had the grungy vibe going on today (hense the title). Because the shoes are a high platform & black it makes them seem a little tough & fierce looking so I wanted to add to that with the rest of my ensemble, the jeans I bought from Primark for £13 & I applied the ripped knees myself as I thought I'd go all designer for the night, haha. But what I love about shoes like this is that you can make them 'prettified' by teaming them with girly pants or dresses. Public desire is my new found fave one stop shoe shop their shoes are pretty amazing & I'm so glad I was lucky enough to win a pair!!
















Kimono - H&M
Top - Primark

' I Heart Harleyville ' - Collab with Rock On Ruby!




This was my outfit for the weekend, I went out for the day to B-town shopping in the amazing Bullring & Birmingham city centre. Me & my boyfriend had Sunday lunch at a amazing pub called - The Old Joint Stock, it was too good! One of the most exciting things about this day was my new Grafea bag ' Candy ' getting her first outing! It received quite a lot of head turns & compliments, I think it was worth my boyfriends purchase.

More things NEW with this outfit was my pretty lil' booties by the Shoe Cult at Nasty Gal. I love the floral printed fabric and lace-up at the front and the surprising comfort breaking them in. I've been after these shoe boots for weeks and weeks, only the other day I looked & they were in the sale BONUS! But when they arrived via UPS I was one of the unlucky ones that got stung with the import bill so it was a good job I did manage to haul them the sale!!!

NOW, let's talk business.... THE T-SHIRT :- I contacted the lovely ladies at Rock On Ruby from girlynightsout.com to collaborate with them as part of their blogger programme & styled my own tee. I don't own many grey tops so I thought I would add more of that colour to my wardrobe & opted for  red writing with my own personal print.....

'' I love this city, but my heart is in HARLEYVILLE ''

The reason for this is because it is something very personal to me, & my life is about to have a slight change! Currently I live in Derbyshire & work as a Master Colour Technician at a 5-star salon in Chesterfield called Harleys Hairdressing. I've been there for 8 years now and it's been like a second home & everybody is like family so its sad to say that around November I will be leaving my home town to move to Birmingham as my boyfriend has been woking there for 6 months & I have wanted to move for a while & my interest is more with fashion as I love clothes, shoes & my new found love & passion for blogging so I just wanted to make this tee a personal quote to reflect on my life & the changes in my path.
