Fashion Fix: New Season Arrivals

Hi Guys,

Loads more awesome stuff has arrived in stores this week

and I thought I would show you my top picks ;)

Feather Wing Ear Cuff - Topshop £15

love this, not for everyday wear but would look awesome in a photoshoot

Slip On Lo Pro Leopard Vans -  Office £39.99

these would be great to wear all the time with skinny jeans

you know I love leopard print and  I bet they would be really comfy

Grey Aztec Print Jumper - River Island £25

you can never have too much aztec print in my opinion

the more the merrier

Embroidered Leather (Pu) Jacket - ASOS £70

this jacket really reminds me of a different take on the All Saints Owain jacket.

so if you loved that one but it was out of your price range

this is a great alternative.

Aztec Print All In One / Onesie - Topshop £34

be quick if you like this onesie, topshops last onesies sold out in record time

Aztec + Onesie = <3

Scarf Print Leggings - Topshop £20

these scarf print leggings are very 90's Versace / Mochino

and we all know the 90's are back to stay!

Knitted Union Jack Jumper - Topshop £46

what can be more patriotic than a flag jumper?

I really like the look of  this one from Topshop

Premium Spike Cross Necklace - Topshop £30

 gotta love a bit of studs and spikes,

combined with a cross shape this necklace is perfecto!

 Mexican Print Skater Dress - ASOS £75

I love this pretty skater dress

the bright colours and prints are fab,

and a very flattering shape too.

Leather Rhinestone Peter Pan Collar  - Topshop £45

already sold out, this collar is ahmahzing

I'm hoping it will come back into stock soon.

would add a great edge to a girly dress.

Panda Jumper - ASOS £30

eeep this is so cute,

quirky jumpers are everywhere this season

and this is my absolute fave

Pastel Colour Block Bucket Bag - ASOS £35

the pastel colours on this bag are gorge,

very chic but still fun and girly

I would literally buy all of them if I could,

I love seeing the new season stuff arrive!

Have you got your eyes on anything?

Fashion Fix: Funky Bling Jewellery

Hey there readers,

A bit of a different post here today,

I thought I'd introduce you to a brand I have fallen in LOVE with

Funky Bling!

Through the joys of the internet I got in touch with the lovely lady behind Funky Bling

as I wanted to find where I could buy her jewelery online,

and the answer was you couldn't!

Funky Bling pieces have been spotted on some MAJOR celebs, 

(including Nicki Minaj, Little Mix, Will.I.Am)

and I wanted to get my mitts on some.

To cut a long story short, we became friends,

and I helped her out with some web design,

and she now has a web shop www.funkybling.bigcartel.com

YAY

 

She makes amazing cuffs & necklaces, all made from laser cut acrylic

in various styles and colours, saying whatever you like!

The prices vary depending on how many Swarofski Crystals are added

( for me you can never have to many)

But prices start at around £55 for the smaller necklaces

up to around £160 for the fully 'blinged' custom cuffs.

I was kindly sent some pieces as payment for my work

and OMG I love them, I'm such a lucky girl :)

I got the Dream On Necklace

and a Fully Blinged Custom Cuff saying 'Milly'

I stuck with black and white so they would be easy to team 

with anything in my wardrobe.

Can you tell I'm chuffed with them :D

The dream on necklace is the same one that Little Mix wore on the Xfactor,

except theirs said Little Mix obvs!

So yes,

This brand is about to hit the big time,

having been featured in many magazines including Vogue (swoon)

and the lovely lady behind it is beautiful and awesome too!

I definitely recommend them

Check out their Facebook Twitter & Shop

Muchos Love

*Jewellery was given to me as payment for some web/graphic design work. All opinions are my own and I would neither work for nor promote a brand I didn't genuinely love. Funky Bling is awesome. Full Stop ;)

What Milly Wore: Purple Rain

Hi Guys,

hope you've all had a lovely week

and you're all getting used to the fact that it's nearly February and getting colder!

I was lucky enough to be contacted by Daxon

and asked if I would like to choose an item to feature on my blog.

Daxon are branching into Plus Sized clothing,

so I was interested to see what they had available.

As a size 14, I'm at that awkward size where I'm not quite plus size,

 but a bit big for some shops!

But as someone from a family of  *ahem* curvier ladies

I gladly took them up on their offer.

I chose the Suedette Quilted Jacket in Purple

When looking at their website it's easy to skim over and think that it's aimed at a more mature lady,

or that they are not very fashion forward,

but I really would no be so quick to write them off.

I really feel you can take staple pieces such as this jacket and add it to any wardrobe,

you can style up in your own way, give it your own twist if you will.

As I hope I've proved with this post.

The jacket is extremely good quality,

much better than you would find on much of the high street,

I was really impressed with the suedette fabric, it feels really soft and authentic

and I love the faux leather piping too.

It's so well made and is a joy to wear :)

As Daxon go from a size 14-36 I think it's a great place to try

if you are struggling to find great quality clothing

in your size.

In this outfit I Wore:

Purple Suedette Quilted Jacket: C/O Daxon £49

Galaxy Print Grey Cardigan: Asos (a few years ago)

Multi Galaxy Wolf Dress: Motel @ Topshop (also ages ago)

Grey T-Shirt Dress (worn underneath): H&M

Black Treggings: Next £18 (new)

Galaxy / Glitter Print Duffle Bag: Peter Pilotto for Kipling

Leopard Wired Hair Band: Dolly Bow Bow

Future Mystic Small Crescent Gem Shapes Necklace: Tatty Devine

Grey Suede Felix Boots: Kurt Geiger £35 Sale

Fashion Fix: Topshop's Take on the Furla Candy Bag

If you're anything like me,

you will have spotted the Furla Candy Bag everywhere last summer.

I loved them, kitsch plastic colourful bags

what's not to like!

 I had looked into getting one, but with an RRP of £200 it wasn't meant to be

Well, Imagine my joy when this week I spotted these similar bags on Topshop.com

In a range of colours and shapes, topshop have really had a great go at the jelly bag trend.

This shape is so similar to the Candy Bag, that it would be rude not to get it!

Although I love the bright colours,

I'm also quite taken by this cream / nude style

They would all be great for SS12

See all the styles here (check out the rucksack versions too)

what do you think of toppers designer remake??

What Milly Wore: Aztec Duffle Coat

Hey-lo there one and all,

Here is what I wore a couple of days ago :)

Aztec Navajo Print Blanket Duffle Coat - £60 Urban Outfitters (sale was £120)

eeeeeepp I love this coat,

I blogged about it a couple of months ago,

so when I saw it half price just after Christmas, I asked for it as my main present!

I really like the print, and the fur hood.

The only thing I would change is that it has no lining which annoys me slightly

but it doesn't stop my love for it!

Stripey Skull Vest - Crafted @ Republic

I've had this vest for a good year or so, and not worn it,

so in my attempt to vary my wardrobe and use everything I own  I added it to my outfit

Black Lace trim vest top - Good Old M&S

I layered this vest underneath for warmth

and for modesty ;)

Brown Speckled / Fleck longline cardigan - Next

I'm loving all the speckled and flecked styles that are about at the moment

I'm sure I wore stuff with multi coloured flecks in as a kid, 

and I think it brings out that feeling of nostalgia in me!

High Waisted skinny jeans - New Look

These are my go too jeans at the moment,

really appreciating anything high waisted.

Maddox Tan Leather Tapestry Satchel Bag - Fossil via TKMaxx £69.99 instead of £200

This bag is gorgeous,

I'd been after a good quality carpet / tapestry bag for a while

I came across this one in tkmaxx and couldn't resist.

Fossil are a really good brand,

and I love the pattern and styling of this bag. 

Tan Leather lace-up boots - Pikolinos RRP £110

I got these boots last week to wear to work

and they are so so comfy, very good quality leather

and I like the slightly Victorian feel they have.

Wearing these boots and the bag together I felt a bit like Mary Poppins

that's all for today,

hope you're all having a lovely week so far

xXx
