Grey Beauties

To follow up on the post The Beauty Of Grey, I have been around in pretty much every online shop on a hunt for beautiful grey dresses.

                             Cause I've heard that grey is the new black, right? ;)

The top one to the left is a grey and black colour block bodyshaper dress from Next, for £65
The middle one is a grey Heaven Sent embellished maxi dress from BANK for £39.99
The top one to the right one is a grey and metal halter neck snake print dress from Oasis for £55
The bottom one to the left is a grey polka dot halter neck dress from Dorothy Perkins for £20 (was £27)
The bottom one to the right is a light grey kite dress from VILA for £22

They are all grey beauties, but I must admit my favourite one is the one from Next.

Which one is your favourite grey beauty?

The Beauty Of Grey

This is not a black and white world
To be alive I say the colors must swirl
And I believe that maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
The beauty of grey

Fashion Infatuation rewarded One Lovely Blog award

Fashion Infatuation has been awarded the "One Lovely Blog" award by fellow fashion blogger Laura at Top Style Advice.
I was very flattered when she informed me about the award, and I hope that this award will encourage more readers to find their way to my blog. I appreciate every new follower I get, and I love all the comments. Thanks a million!


As the rules state I must now tell you 7 random facts about myself...here it goes...

1 My first ever job was in a mini-golf club. It was just for a summer, and I was 16 years old.

2 I've got 4 tattoos - all designed by myself, and all made with brown ink.

3 When I was a teenager I pierced my ears with a massive safety pin no less than 7 times!

4 I'm making poor attempts of learning Greek (talk about difficult alphabet!)

5 In 2009 I got the opportunity to be a bikini model for one of Sweden's most popular teenage magazines (I might post these pictures on a later date... maybe!)

6 I only watched the series "Lost" because of Sawyer (Josh Holloway), even though the series were pretty crap. I was completely obsessed with him. (but how could you not be?! He's well hot!)

7 My dad once said to me "If you ever colour your hair black I'll make you cut the lawn with some nail clippers". Of course I had to try him, and see if he really meant it. So I coloured my hair black, but I never had to cut the lawn :P

And now I would love to award this "One Lovely Blog" award to...

Flowing summer fashion

Following up on the 'Get your legs out'-post, here is a gorgeous summer dress and a skirt that I found while browsing the web the other day. They are both from Monsoon, and they are two great items for wearing when you want to get your legs out . All flowing and perfect for a nice summer day. The good thing about this season is that you don't have to be afraid of wearing colours. Even with just a tiny bit of a tan you would suit more vibrant colours.
You can purchase this pretty purple embroided summer dress for £60, and the knee length navy skirt with embroided details can be yours for £25

Get your legs out!

The British summers aren't known to be great. They're usually pretty crap to be honest.
Rainy and cloudy, and you're happy if the temperature goes above 20 °C.

I'm used to the Swedish summers where you can start dressing in tops and short skirts in May already, and all throughout the summer up until early September. You can easily get a Mediterranean-looking, proper brown tan by spending your summer in Sweden. But those sunny days are behind me...

Since I am now living in the north of England I don't get to see the sun much, and up here it seems as if people are afraid of the sun. Girls walk around in leggings all summer long and never let their legs out!

But with the lovely summer weather we've had this past weekend (I know, wow!), and today, I see no reason not to get your legs out. They'll thank you for getting to spend some time in the sun, and for getting a little bit of a healthy tan. No rub on fake tan from a bottle, but the real deal!

Don't forget the sun screen though. You don't want to end up with legs red as tomatoes.

Tribute post: 80'SGLAM ROCK AND BON JOVI

As I am off to see the cult band of 80's glam rock bands -BON JOVI- in Manchester tonight, I thought I would do a little tribute post and put together a glam rock outfit of items found in today's high street shops. The rules for a glam rock outfit is simple: leather, studs, skin-tight jeans, bright colours, and leopard prints. Oh, and for God's sake, DON'T FORGET THE HAIRSPRAY!! To achieve a genuine glam rock look you definitely need "poodle hair" like Jon Bon Jovi. So start spraying!

Leather jacket from H&M - £29.99
Skinny, ripped, light denim jeans from River Island £44.99
Leopard print scarf from TOPSHOP £16
Vibrant pink top from H&M (sale) £2.99
Studded leather belt from River Island £19.99
Cowboy boots with studded details from Barratts £30
TRESemmé superior hold hairspray from Boots £4.79

Sex and the City fashion: Samantha Jones

The last, but not the least, of the Sex and the City girls is Samantha Jones. And to be honest –she’s my favourite. I would say that Samantha is the most eccentric of them all. Even though she may not be the classiest of girls on the inside, she doesn't show it on the outside - she always dresses in absolutely stunning outfits. She is a career woman, and even though she often dresses in the typical officy pencil skirt and suit jacket, she makes sure that she does it in a very feminine way, showing off her curves.
Samantha is lucky to have the type of body that just suits any outfit. She would literally look great in anything. She won't accept the fact that she's getting old, and probably wouldn't know what "dress your age" means, and she doesn't have to!
I love the fact that she isn't afraid of dressing in vibrant colours, and big chunky accessories. It's kind of like the tells the world "look at me!" through her clothes. She wants everyone's eyes on her, and I don't blame her.

Vibrant and bold: Samantha is a big fan of vibrant colours that make her stand out from a crown. She matches her colourful outfits with big chunky accessories. A match made in heaven!
Dressy casual: You never really see Samantha in very casual clothes, but even her "casual" clothes are pretty officy. Here with a typical officy pencil skirt, where she has simply swapped the jacket with a flowing top.
Special occasion: What more than bright colours make you syand out from a crownd? Glitter and dresses where you show lots of flesh!

Work: Samantha is a business woman, and loves her office outfits - and did I mention that she loves bright colours? ;)
