London and Tropical Punch

A couple of weeks I spent the weekend in London. We didn't go down for any specific reason, but all weekend was just spent wandering around browsing markets, eating amazing dinners, and drinking lots of coffees in various cafés. In one of these cafés I decided to try out a new nail polish combination...

As a basecoat I used Stay Perfect nail colour from No7 in the hue 'Crave Me'. No7 is actually one of my favourite brands when it comes to nail polish. I used to have a ton of them when you were able to use the £5 No7 vouchers from Boots and buy the polishes for only £2. Unfortunately you can't do that anymore...

I decided to try my new Seventeen Colour Clash Nail Effects in the colour 'Tropical Punch' on top of the No7 Crave Me. I actually thought that the Crave Me polish would be more coral, but it's actually more red, which is a bit disappointing. I don't think it looks nice on its own (as in the above photo) but together with the Tropical Punch nail effect it looks reaaly quirky and fun! Tropical Punch consista of a clear polish with lots of tiny plastic bits in different sizes and colours, such as blue, orange, yellow and white.

And this is the result...

What do you think?

Boho style, Ray Bans & a giveaway

Today I felt like dressing a bit bohemian inspired, and I'm wearing really simple clothes in quite earthy colours; a 3/4 length sleeved tshirt in a dusky blue from H&M, and a light brown "boho" skirt from Oasis.

I'm pairing this outfit with effortless-looking wavy hair, some turquoise accessories in the form of a scarf, massive metal earrings from Accessorize, a watch and a ring, and a pair of brown lens Ray Ban sunglasses that were kindly gifted to me by Sunglasses Shop.

This dark brown cross body bag from BHS is a must - it's perfect for a shopping trip to town when you want to have both hands free.

The turquioise ring is from my very favourite jewellery store - Outrage Jewelley in Leeds Corn Exchange - and it cost me a small fortune as it's handmade with a real turquoise stone set in silver.

This leather bracelet watch is my latest accessory addition. I absolutely love it, and it completes my bohemian inspired outfit just perfectly. I found it in a stall at Spitalfields market in London a couple of weeks ago, and it only cost me £10. Thanks to my workmate Nicole for the tip about the market :)

But anyway... back to the Ray Bans. Would you like to bag yourself a pair? The lovely people over at Sunglasses Shop has agreed to donate another pair of Ray Ban aviator glasses in a giveaway to one lucky reader of Fashion Infatuation. The winner can choose any pair of Ray Ban aviator glasses from the collection at Sunglasses Shop, for a value of up to £120.

The giveaway is international and is open to all. All you have to do to be in it to win yourself a pair of genuine Ray Ban sunglasses is enter via the Rafflecopter widget below. 

And you know the drill - the more options you do, the higher the chance to win.

Good luck to you all!

How I wear my simple midi dress

I’ve developed a bit of an obsession with midi length skirts and dresses lately as I find this style quite easy to match with the rest of our outfit, and at the same time it’s quite flattering. The dress I’ve got on in this outfit also has a very high cut at the neck, and therefore doesn’t need excess accessories. This is a simple outfit that is easy to adapt to any season - Add a cardigan for winter, and scrap the tights and swap the shoes for something lighter for summer. 

The dress is actually a Primark find, and is from the same collection as my 70’s inspired dress I featured a few weeks ago. I’ve paired it with my Jeffrey Campell Lita Spike shoes in black leather – this creates a rocky look that is perfect for a night out. 

As this dress is all in one colour (except for the short sleeves that are in black faux leather) it can get a bit plain, so I’ve therefore added a belt to make the look more interesting. This black elastic belt is from H&M.

The handmade amethyst ring with silver swirls is from Outreach Jewellery in Leeds Corn Exchange, which is one of my favourite shops in Leeds. I just love going in there and having a proper browse. I really love that all pieces are handmade and unique, and made of pure silver and real stones. 

 

The necklace I’m wearing really isn’t anything special at all, but it’s simply a purple piece of glass on a bunch of strings that I picked up in a souvenir shop in Greece a few years back. I just thought it was pretty, and the purple is just a good match to the dress. It also works quite well as a statement necklace.
