Sunshine in England? Really? OOTD & my dog!

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't posted in a while - I've been really busy with revision for my exams that start on the 14th of May. Anyway, I just wanted to post an outfit of the day for you on this lovely sunny (and rare) day here in the Southwest of England :)

T-shirt: Hollister

Skirt: River Island

Also, I wanted to post this cute picture I took of my Border Terrier Pippa today :) I also have another Border Terrier called Will which is strange as my boyfriend is also called Will haha. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the sunshine, I'll talk to you tomorrow! Emily x.

Outfit of the Day | & Make-up for glasses

Cardigan: New Look, Dress: Parisian @ New Look, Belt: River Island, Boots: eBay, Socks: Jack Wills

Two blogs & a YouTube video in one day?!  This is just a casual look thrown together because all I was doing today was studying, however I wanted to make it a bit more interesting so I added the zebra print belt & boots over striped socks. I feel like it is a bit similar to what Aria Montgomery from Pretty Little Liars wears? I guess it's a little inspired by her. I love the texture of the dress - it has two layers and the top one is black & brown with lots of random holes and mesh in places - it's quite unique and I haven't seen anyone else with the same one yet :)

Here are some pics of my make-up & a link to the YouTube video I filmed today (a make-up look for people who wear glasses). I rarely wear glasses because I have contacts, but because I was just studying today I thought I would and then this happened I guess!

Fashion for Spring 2012 | Ins & Outs

My own individual interpretation of what's in for spring 2012! :)

I am not a fashion stylist, there may be things in here that you contradict but this is my view on things - from what I've seen on the runway and in general as well as online. Some of the things that I've said are "Out" I mean in general they are fashion mistakes, not just this spring... Hopefully you can tell the ones I mean :P
I'll be including: Clothes, Colours, Accessories, Make-up / General, Hair & Shoes!

Clothes:
Feminine Dresses, Skirts & Playsuits: In
Lace & Ruffles: In
Loose & Casual styles: In.
Denim Shirts / Jeans / Vests / Dresses: In
Silk & Satin material: In
High-waisted jeans, shorts & skirts: In
Leggings as trousers: Always OUT. Wear a long top / dress with leggings, not a normal length top.
Jeggings with a normal-length top: The same as with leggings. DON'T DO IT! (Some girls at my school have committed this crime) Jeggings are in, but wear a long top with them!
Skin-tight clothes: Out
1950's inspired dresses/skirts (the pin-up / sailor look): In
Over-sized belts around the waist: OUT unless it goes well with your outfit such as with a colour-block dress. For spring, go for a smaller more dainty belt.
Skirts / Dresses that only just cover your behind: OUT!!!!
Anything vintage: IN
Peter Pan Collars: In, but this season it's mostly wearing a peter pan collar necklace rather than it being fixed to the top / dress.


Colours:
Pastel: IN IN IN
Silver: IN! It looks great with a pastel pink & looks very feminine!
Neon: Out.
Aztec / Tribal Prints: IN! - Be bold!
Colour Blocking: In if you're brave enough to wear it!
Animal print: In but in moderation - don't go overboard with the cheetah or zebra print!

Accessories:

1950's Pin-up Inspired | Vintage

Today I'm wearing this adorable short-sleeved knee-length navy blue spotty dress that I bought at a fashion show, it's so vintage & reminds me of a 50's pin-up, which is why I went for a natural eyeshadow look with a bright red lipstick. I didn't want to over-do the jewellery because the dress is so simple so I only have on the necklace I wear every day that my boyfriend bought me. I must say, my eyelashes are looking quite full in the photo, it must be the Benefit mascara I've been wearing recently... Anyway, I must be off now! Talk to you all soon and I hope you lovelies will excuse my wet hair in the photograph!
