Midi is the new Mini, find out why all the celebs think so?..........

I've always loved the midi and I love the way it's taking centre stage at the moment. It's such an easy effortless style to wear. I love wearing mine with ankle boots and a crop top. But see the many other ways below.........

It's also equally on trend to wear with some heels and cute ankle socks. Florence Welch is a big fan of the midi and she pulls it off so well.

Rihanna  is transformed into a demure super model by wearing this midi and crop top combo. A far cry from her usual styles! 

I love the plisse pleat midi as seen below and is especially flattering when wore high waisted with a silk grandad style blouse or shirt. Pull in the waist even more by adding a belt but make sure it's a thin one. Another reason I think the midi works so well is because it  really shows off the slimmest parts of your legs. 

Sienna looks so relaxed in her midi floral dress at Glastonbury this year. Add a pear of grunge studded boots to give that extra edge.  I love it

Shop this style on my online shop HERE 

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............................. 

How to make Kimonos Rock...........

I'm obsessed with kimonos at the moment.These are all available to buy on ASOS and ASOS MARKETPLACE. I'm giving my tips on how to wear them below. So MANY ways to wear them.......

TIP: Wear over disco pants with heals and a sparkly top to go dancing. Add some more sparkle with a glitter/sequence top underneath and unique headpiece jewellery.

TIP: Wear over denim shorts and throw on gladiator sandals if warm or leather ankle boots if we have the rain to deal with. I  just oooooooooooolove this western style kimono  :-)

TIP: Make the kimono even more boho by adding a hat. Feodora is my fav.
TIP: Wear your kimono over skinny jeans and a rock tee. Add some funky jewellery like a spiked necklace.(necklace below is in Next at the mo)

What I wear and the bargains I find......

I'm trying to wear as many dresses as I possibly can before this glorious weather leaves us :-) This was today's outfit. 

I love adding a pop of  bright colour to more earthy colours and I especially love turquoise and brown together. They just compliment each other so well. I got this ring at a lovely market stall in Barcelona for a fiver!! But you don't have to go to lovely Barcelona to get this style of ring. I've seen them in lots of highstreet shops and boutiques.

Dress is a shirt waist dress(only buttons to the waist) and it's from the 70's and currently on sale on my online shop.

My fishy necklace is from the Topshop sales and you can always rely on them for quirky accessories . I mostly get my jewellery in Topshop during their sales and I have so many unique pieces, some I would of paid as little as 50 cent!. 

My belt is actually from a dress I bought in Penneys and I have about 20 of them! I just throw them on with various dresses. Bag I featured before and is still up for grabs on my shop. The Antler skull rings are also for sale on my shop currently at €6 but I'm offering a reduced price  of €4.50 if you mention this blog post when purchasing. Nail varnish is high jelly shine from Barry M and I looooove it.

Flip flops were featured in my last outfit but I didn't show a close up. Again, they are from Penneys and cost just €3!

WHAT I WEAR AND THE BARGAINS I FIND

This dress is another Forever 21 find, and a total bargain at only €19.99. This again is perfect for pears as it draws attention to the slim waist and skims over those thighs and bum. Dip hem is great for  not just pears but anyone who is conscious of their bum .

The necklace is vintage from the 70's and I bought it at a market in Barcelona, a bargain at just €3!! I love the way it adds a pop of bright white.

This bag is on sale on my online shop and it's really lovely soft leather.Perfect for bringing to festivals or on holidays as it's cross body :-)

 These skinny jeans are from Pull and Bear and were on sale at €12.99. I rolled them up to make them 3/4 length. Sandals are from Penneys and are currently priced at €3. Took me a couple of wears  before they stopped cutting between my two toes(I have very sensitive feet!) but now they are really comfy and for €3 , where could you go wrong!!

WHAT I WEAR AND THE BARGAINS I FIND

Thought it about time for another post on what I wear ! Today was NOT a scorcher by all means at 22 degrees (last year this would of been a scorcher!) but it was just warm enough for an outfit like this. The necklace is from a gorgeous little boutique in Carlingford called Memories.It adds a touch of boho to any dress.

Dress is from Forever 21 and a right bargain at only €24. It is the just D  perfect dress for pear shaped women as it draws attention the slimmest part of the pear shape which is the waist, and then it skims over those hips. I threw it on over a pair of black leggings. I love this relaxed comfy style.

Bag is actually genuine leather and it's GOLD!!! It's vintage from the 80's and it's on sale on my online shop www.corrinachristinachic.com and www.facebook.com/corrinachristinavintage.

Gladiator sandals are a fav of mine and I got these ones in Accessorize, one of the best buys I've ever got as they are perfect to throw on under maxi dresses and they are so comfy.

Feel free to leave comments below and I will be happy to answer any questions xxxxxxxxx

Shine bright in White.....

It's good enough for the rich and famous, the tanned or the pale , so really we should all embrace this  trend wholeheartedly. See some tips for wearing it below.

You don't need to be the colour of mahogany. Try it with pale skin and really bright tomato red lips. Alexa  rocks this sixties style mini and Laura follows suit looking stunning.

I'm a big fan of vintage leather boots with girly dresses. It adds a bit of an edge to your look. Eva you beauty!!!

Rihanna shines bright like a diamond in this white two piece. I love the tan and gold accessories with nude lips.
