How I style // Red Dresses

You guys probably know by now that I love red dresses. I think they're so lovely and quite easy to wear as long as you keep the rest of the outfit minimal.  As red is pretty bold I usually go for black or, if your feeling bold, I think blue and red are two colours that match quite well. Anyway, I was asked to put together a sort of How I would Style / Wishlist post featuring some lovely dresses from New Look and thought it could give you guys some ideas too.

Office Wear, a.k.a I need to look smart but I still wanna stand out y'know what I'm saying?

Dress - New Look; here

Bag & Heels - Zara

Notebook - Topshop

Lipstick - Chanel Rouge (or just any red lipstick if you're a pauper like myself!)

I think this is my favourite look. I just love the simplicity of it as even though you've got the bold colour, everything else is left quite minimal which I like.

Day out, a.k.a I'm off to town for lunch with the girls

Red Dress - New Look; here

Boots & Hat - H&M

Sunglasses -Ray-Ban

Moustache notebook - Urban Outfitters

 I quite like this off the shoulder dress! I don't own any myself but I think it's quite playful and easy to layer up with a jacket of some sort. I also thought this hat would go nicely with this dress and complete the over-all look I was trying to go for which was 'oh hey, I'm just going to Paris for lunch with the girls...' or something to that effect ha!

Night out, a.k.a Time to hit the town oooooh yeah

Dress - New Look; here

Leather Jacket - River Island

Necklace: H&M

Boots - Zara (how gorgeous are they?!)

Lipstick - RiRi Woo

Bronzer/Blusher - Nars

 Lastly, I think a red dress is a must for a night out. Sure, you've got the LBD but what about the LRD? Eh? Eh? I guess it depends on where you're going but I think having a red dress in your wardrobe for a night out is just as important as having a black one. Teamed up with a leather jacket, black boots and a gold chain I think anyone could rock this!

What do you guys think?

Also! I have been thinking of ways to expand my blog a bit and have decided to set up a blogger series and interview bloggers who would be interested to take part. I've got a couple lined up at the moment and some on my list of people to e-mail but if you are interested in an interview (just a couple of questions!) then feel free to send me an e-mail! It's open for any type of blog, small, medium or big, just as long as you've been blogging for a while (so there's enough content for me to do a write up/get to know the style of your blog etc). I just thought it would be something cool to add and showcase other blogs out there and get to know the blogger a bit more! Initially I'll aim to interview one blog a month buuuuut that will depend on how interested people are in it etc, what do you think? Check out one of my previous interviews here.

Music wise, I am loving:
Birdy - Let Her Go (BBC Live Lounge Cover)

It feels like the perfect night... // Pastels & Prints - Wish-list

I currently work part-time in H&M and we have so many clothes that have come in for the new season with graphic prints and stripes just...everywhere. On trousers, blazers, dresses, you name it.  I made a bit of a wish-list focused on this up and coming trend because I'm sort of falling in love with it. it took me a while to get used to this style it but I think if you wear prints subtly and in the right way it can look really, really good. 

Dress, Jacket and bracelets; H&M
Shoes, necklace and bag; ASOS; 

 Here, I love this dress. Stripes are often overlooked sometimes out of fear of making you look big, but I think this dress really could suit any figure! The rest of the look also tones it down so all attention is drawn to the dress - perfect for a night out or something. 

Trousers, shoes and bag; H&M
Shirt; Forever 21
Ring; Ebay

 This image is more toned down but still incorporating the idea of 'prints'. Again, I didn't want to go too overboard with it as I think it can make the outfit look messy so this is more subtle and effortless.

Shirt, rings, necklace; H&M
Shoes and bag; Topshop

There are no prints here but I just love this look! I actually have this shirt from H&M but I haven't had a chance to wear it yet.  I do love the mint fresh colour of it. They had the same shirt in black and white also but I had to opt for this colour option. Pastels are great for Spring/Summer so can't wait to purchase more stuff in similar colours!

And finally! I have some exciting news!!
I'm hopefully going to venture on a little YouTube project that I have been planning for a while. I was going to keep it quiet for a bit longer but I'm just too darn excited! (can you tell...?) So watch this space and I will keep you informed with all the details soooooon!
Hope you all have a great week ahead.
