Heyyyy! :)

So, the good news is that by the time you will be reading this post, I will be on a flight to Honk Kong!!! & I'm SOOO EXCITED!!!

I wore this outfit for dinner as well as for a short stroll by the river with a few friends. I wore a bright, salmon pink, peplum looking top that contrasted very well with my high, short, black bodycon skirt making me flaunt my curves whilst avoiding showing any unwanted lumps and bumps (which is what most of us want, right?)

I combined it with a pair of dull, grey wedges as well as a Swarovski clear crystal pave heart necklace to top the look up and go for more of a smarter look. 

Unfortunately, for those of you living in London, it seems like the summer is already over, even though it started so late, and only stayed for a couple of days...Having said that, I wore a black cardigan on top of my bright, salmon pink, peplum looking top, as it has netted thick straps merging into a criss-cross at the top of my back and is backless till my mid-back.

Hope you guys are having a wonderful summer! It's finally my turn!!!!

I believe I'll return with a bag of innumerable new clothes, for you to see in my future posts...

So please keep posted !! :)

White, Flowy, Layered, Short Dress on Royal Blue High Heeled Wedges





-White, flowy, layered, short dress from Bershka, Spain -
-Swarovski clear crystal pave heart necklace - £99.00 (gift)
-Swarovski stud earrings from Groupon (2 pairs one black and one silver) - £10.00 (gift) 
-Royal blue high heeled wedge from Office - £50.00 (http://www.office.co.uk/view/product/office_catalog/2,37/1313330000)

Heyaaa!
So as promised in my last post, this is my second post this week! :)

I wore this outfit on a night out in Central London, Boujis, all you londoners MUST have heard of it! I wanted the perfect outfit to match my new royal blue high heeled wedges, because they are so darn comfy and I was excited to wear them, dance in them and show them off!
I instantly fell in love with the wedges as the royal blue caught my eye when I saw them in the shop's display window. Coincidently, I had my toe nails painted orange, which totally matched with the royal blue wedges. I really liked the look of that!

I wanted to wear a black dress with it to complete the look and create a big impact, BUT (there are always buts aren't they?), the last time I went out, I wore a black dress. Yes, that's right. It was also in the same club and it was that black side cut-out dress that I posted about, a few weeks ago. (http://divs30.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/black-side-cutout-dress.html). So I decided to go for more of a summery, hawaiian look. I ended up wearing a really old, white, short, flowy, layered dress that I bought from Bershka in Madrid, a few years back. As long as the shoes match eyy! ;)

The dress helped by covering any unwanted lumps, as it's layered and flowy and even though it's quite short it didn't make me uncomfortable at any moment! I definitely recommend these types of dresses for those women who are slightly conscious of bits and bobs of their body, I own many of these myself. Remember, simple dresses can appear to be something more by knowing how to combine it the right way! Additionally, this look will look fabulous on those who have beautifully bronzed up this summer, unlike me, tanned legs IS the key!!!

In addition to the wedges, I wore a crystal pave heart necklace from Swarovski as well as a pair of black pearl stud earring from Swarovski to go with the white dress. I also opted to let my hair straight and loose as most of this summer I let my curls do the job, and it just wouldn't feel right on a night out, otherwise.

Have a lovely day! XO

Blue Textured Long Crop Top with a Black High Waist Skater Skirt






-Textured (long cropped) top from Topshop - £15.00
-Black high waist skater skirt from Topshop - £16.00
-Black stiletto sandals from River Island - £45.00 (seen in my last post: http://divs30.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/low-cut-jungle-green-short-layered.html)
-Black rope chain from Miss Selfridge - £14.00
-Gold earrings - 
-Michael Kors rose gold watch - £259.00 (seen before in a couple of my previous posts)

Hey Guys! 
So sorry it took so long to put my next post up! It really has been so hectic at my end, with new tasks from both of my internships and just a load of work, but I promise I'll put up another post this week to make up for it! :) 

So moving on to the outfit... I'd say I'm going for a smart-casual look; even though I'm wearing a black high waist skater skirt, it's not that short and for those who do think it is, it's adjustable, so it's perfect! The textured blue long cropped top makes the look even more smarter so considering that, I have tucked it in the skirt to portray an even neater look. Simultaneously, this top is actually V-necked but doesn't show a lot of flesh, in fact it shows just the right amount, especially if you are trying to go for that smart look. Moreover, I feel that if you wore this blue long cropped top with high waisted jeans it would look spectacular!

In terms of the colours, I love how a light blue colour goes with the black, making the outfit suitable to be worn during the day or night, but of course, this would depend on how you combine it with the accessories you own!

I wore this outfit out for dinner with a few friends, so I went for more of an evening look. I combined it with my black stiletto sandals which made it look even more formal and classy. To top it up even more, I also combined it with my black rope chain, gold hoop earrings and my Michael Kors watch, of course. I usually don't let my curly hair down but as you can see I actually did leave it loose here.

PS. I'm still letting my hair air dry, in the second picture!

(Hmmm, I wonder if this look would be appropriate for an interview?)

Until my next post! XO

Heya!
First of all I would like to start off by saying that no matter how simple your dress, skirt or outfit is there is always a way to stand out and look fabulous!

Today is all about showing off a casual summer look!

I wore this low cut, jungle green, short, layered, flowy dress that I bought from a boutique in Indonesia and adored the look of it! The layers complimented my body and hid any awkward lumps even though I was still able to show my flesh around and build on that uneven tan! The overall style and swirl of dress somehow kind of reminded me of my childhood flamenco and sevillana days even though the dresses are soo different!!!

To go with the dress I thought of wearing my flip flops, because it was sooo HOT, but this seemed to tone down the look even more as the dress was so simple on it own already. So instead I wore my new black stiletto sandals from River Island which helped spruce up the whole look, as well as small Chanel stud earrings to keep a steady look and not have people think that I'm going on a night out! I also carried my H&M sunglasses, which was gifted to me by my cousin, as the sun was out in full force (never thought I'd experience this in London) as well as my Chanel daily bag that was gifted to me by my dad! :)

As it was so hot to go through the whole straightening procedure, I once again air dried my hair and  pinned it up with a small hair clip.

Hope you're all having a lovely day!

Black & Green Bodycon Dress




-Black & green bodycon dress from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia -
-Gold necklace -
-Michael Kors rose gold watch - £259.00
-Black Primark summer wedges -£14.00

Hello!
So do you know how happy I was with the whole idea of the weather changing and the sun FINALLY showing its face to those in the UK... Well, I'm so crazily dead sick right now, it's not even funny! England has to make up its mind, and it better stay HOT for the rest of this summer!!! I am so annoyed about the fact that when I finally received my results this Wednesday (I got a 2:1, yayyy!) turns out that I can't go out and celebrate because I'm so darn ill !!

So hopefully I will be back in the game, healthy and strong by next week and can celebrate then instead!

That was meant to be a brief summary of my week but I think I got a little carried away...Bodycon dresses...BIG fan of them and would absolutely invest in more of them if I had the right body to do so. This bodycon dress in particular doesn't make me look that voluptuous in comparison to the rest which is why I like it but still wear it very occasionally as I am so self-conscious about my body. I feel like the blend of the black sides with green in the middle have a stunning effect on the dress and on the person wearing the dress, which I think is what attracted me to it in the first place

I wore an old gold necklace with my Michael Kors rose gold watch (as usual), to compliment the dress and the overall look and I felt like the dress would have been dressed down if I wore it with flats so instead I opted for the black Primark summer wedges that you guys have seen before in my 1st blog post as I also wanted to take advantage of the weather that day.

I wore this outfit just before going to the cinema, and it wasn't even a date! For those of you who know me well, I am so typically overdressed on MOST occasions, I don't know what it is that makes me want to put in a good effort in getting ready and finally end up feeling overdressed which is NOT always a good feeling. Lately, however there are times where I can't be bothered to go through the long and tiring routine of putting on make-up and straightening my hair because I might be feeling lazy and (just my luck!) somehow, these times turn out to be THE occasion JUST when everybody else decides to dress up.

P.S. For those of you'll wondering which movie it was, should definitely go watch "The Internship"

Have a lovely weekend!! XO

Jungle Green, Maxi Dress



-Jungle green, maxi dress from Jane Norman, Dubai -
-Golden Brown hoop earrings -
-Rusty gold patterned bracelet -
-Blue pebble bracelet -

Heyyyyy!!

I'm so happy that the weather's been so hot lately even though this makes me miss Spain even MORE... I feel like jumping in a pool or going for a long holiday, relaxing by the beach and getting a tan... BUT reality has struck me this summer; growing up times!

So shall we get back to the outfit?

I wore this jungle green, maxi dress a week ago for a dinner in central and absolutely love the look of it. I feel like the dress is so body-flattering and the big advantage of wearing a long dress is that you don't have to worry about how the wind blows your skirt or dress... In fact, I think the wind could even compliment it. Besides, the strapless dress has a subtle yet revealing décolletage neckline that emphasizes elegance.

I know there are some maxi dresses that stick to your body and completely ruin the look you were trying to go for but it's all about choosing the right colour and material... This colour is so delightful, summery and pretty which is the reason why I chose a day where it wasn't too hot or cold to wear it.

I matched the dress with golden brown hoop earrings and since they were so big I avoided wearing a necklace and instead wore a blue pebble bracelet and a rusty gold patterned bracelet. To top it up, I waited for my hair to air dry and pinned it up with a small hair clip to keep the look simple as it was just a casual dinner.

Keep posted, for many more posts to come
