You too can look amazing in this trend ...........

Dust off your crop tops, jelly shoes,bandanas,plaid shirts,floral dresses and platform trainers because the 90's have made a COMEBACK!
See how to wear this trend below without looking like you've just stepped out of the 90's!



Team your crop top with a high waisted skirt. The trick is not to show too much flesh, just a glimpse.



Or team your crop under a kimono with some high waisted disco pants. Add some trends from the noughties to update it such as spiked jewellery or cut out boots.




Wear your bandana as shown below. You can see in this look below,the 90's vintage dress and bandana is updated with chunky accessories and ankle boots.



Ri Ri and Demi look ridiculously cool in theirs. 




The grunge floral dresses from the 90's have also wiggled their way back in this summer and will be even bigger for Autumn.

Whilst it's perfectly acceptable to wear this dress with some heels.You can completely change the style of the 90's floral dress by wearing it similar to below. Or you could leave it unbuttoned over a crop top and a pair of high rise denim shorts. Voila, you're updated and unique....
Here's celeb model Daisy Lowe rocking a grunge floral with some black boots...



As for the plaid shirts, Alexa shows us how it's done here!....



I'm off to buy my jelly sandals....

Outfit of the week....



Outfit of the week
I love this outfit so much that I wore it twice this week! I'm a bit of a minger alright. Once out to dinner with the girlies and another to my market stall at the weekend. Again I love teaming vintage with highstreet, The shirt is from the 80's and I love the vibrant colours. Blazer is vintage, from Berlin and its actually a mens blazer. 







I got my necklace  in Topshop. I love all animal shaped jewellery. Don't know why but I do! TOP TIP: These sort of statement necklaces are also great when wore over a fully buttoned up shirt. (see images below)








Bright coloured blazers can bring life to a simple pair of jeans and casual top. If you want a new one. Zara have an amazing selection at the moment.See ways to wear them below











Bag and shoes are from River Island. .....






I just thought I'd show you another option for footwear with this outfit and these are my new coral converse which are soooooooo comfy. I'm in love....

Things I want but can't because I can't have everything RIGHT????....


So I will regularly put up my wishlist. Just things that I see that I really want to buy but I have to stop myself and pretend  to myself that I don't actually have a credit card. As you will know, sometimes  my credit card just jumps out of my purse and into my hand and my fingers start typing my card number into the computer. It's just too bizarre!!

1. This is a bison skull ring. I don't know why I'm so obsessed with skull rings but I AM!! It's sold by Bohemian Rose Vintage and it's price tag is €20. Not bad for a statement piece. Bohemian Rose Vintage sell really individual new and vintage jewellery. Check them out.https://marketplace.asos.com/boutique/bohemianrose-vintage?oss_ss=1





2. These are just heaven and I've dreamed about them ever since I saw them on a girl on a tube in London. (I walked up and asked her where she got them) Paul Smith she said.... "Of course" I said! I'd pay through the teeth for them!Well I was even more disappointed to see they retailed at €395 . Then I checked today to see if they were still available and realised they had been put in the sale and dropped to €168.  Of course they are sold out in my size. I'm on the waiting list!!! These will go with everything from floral midi dresses to skinny jeans to just EVERYTHING!

3. This smock is just too cute and too perfect. I love the cut out detail, boho feel and relaxed comfy style. I'd throw on lots of long chains and a statement ring with this and I'd wear my hair loose and wavy. It's on Asos retailing at €49.99


4. These beauties below are the summer jett shoe from Modern Vice. They are an American brand and they do these shoes in every colour you can think of ,even yellow!. They are so fun and so different to anything else out there. They retail at 275 dollars. Very pricey but they are leather and you will have forever. (These are  things I regularly tell myself to convince myself into buying things) Check them out. Their lace up boots are to die for.






5. I just love blazers with character, why go with the norm? That's what I say.This with a pair of skinnies, a simple tee, statement necklace and a pair of coverse would be such an easy but wow look. It's on sale for €33 on a fab boutique on Asos Marketplace called House of Jam


I'm off to sob into my pillow.............................

Get it Right folks, you'll be amazed when you do!!

Dressing Those Eyes To Perfection!
People don't realize the importance of getting the right pair of shades to suit your face. Sure I didn't until I started browsing  for sunglasses on Asos Marketplace and I came across a lady modeling 100's of pairs of sun glasses. I looked at how each pair enhanced or detracted from her features and to say I was amazed is an understatement! In some photos her face shape looked so rounded and unflattering and in others it it was slim and perfectly shaped by the glasses. Here are some examples.

WRONG X

RIGHT !

Notice how the second pair frame her face perfectly. This is because she naturally has a heart shaped face so the round work against it and the the glasses which emulate the shape of a heart enhance her cheekbones. AMAZING! 

Next...


                            WRONG X


RIGHT!




This lady has a more square shaped face, you can see here that actually wearing a more square shaped pair of glasses actually works against her. The more rounded  edge ones completely flatter her face giving her a slimmer and shapely face!!

What I would advise is to go shopping for glasses with a friend. Get them to take a photo of every pair  you try on and then go home and make a more educated decision. I don't know about you, but I can never tell by looking in the mirror. The tinted glasses distract me :-)
Anyway , I'm on the hunt for more examples so I can give pointers for every face shape. See you back here soon!
