Sex it up.

Leggings - C/O Missguided     Tee - C/O - TS2    Sunglasses - C/O Sunglasses Shop    Bag - Alexander Wang    Kicks - Ebay    Watch - Michael Kors  

An all black outfit with a few monochrome accents thrown in, my favourite of course!
I grabbed these leggings from the vast range over at Missguided, I think their supposed to be worn more for nights out but I decided to dress them down with a pair of kicks (I'm never one to break a habit).
The weather was absolutely perfect for outfit posting, doesn't summer just make everything including blogging, just so much easier.

Here's some snaps from an outfit I wore to Paris the other weekend with the boyfriend. I opted for comfort seeing as we decided to walk...EVERYWHERE, so I was happy I chose the sensible option.
We had the best time, our hotel was out of this word, the food was immense and the weather was perfect, although it did get a little chilly towards the evening so this hoodie from Uniqlo was the perfect option.
Next stop, summer holiday, YEY!

Roll the dice.

Now I'm not a gambler, I don't think I'll ever understand the "Odds" however recently I've been finding myself frequenting the odd Casino or two at weekends, and what girl doesn't love a reason to dust off the glitz and glamour for one night.
As a Fashion Blogger I love searching for inspiration for my outfit's on websites such as Tumblr and Weheartit. When typing in search words such as "Casino Fashion" I kept stumbling across images of the screen siren - Sharon Stone from her part in the classic movie Casino. Now I'm not sure if there's a woman on the planet who can do glitz and glamour like her, but regardless I'm inspired.

The Accent

If you haven't witnessed the beauty of the Isabel Marant Lazio boots yet, I suggest you don't go searching them on the internet, because all other boots will fade into mere insignificance in comparison.
I literally spent the entire winter searching for a good pair of "Lazio Inspired boots" to no avail, then the amazing people from Ecugo contact me with the perfect dupes on offer, I've never anticipated an arrival of shoes so much. Is it too tragic to admit that I felt like a huge boot shaped weight was lifted off my shoulders ha-ha?
I'm also a bit of a sucker for leathery accents when it comes to outfits, I always look for ways to toughen up looks a little as I'm not particularly girlie in my style so this skirt from Mary-Jane fashion added a bit of muscle to the look, team that with the studs on my sexual Alexander Wang Rocco bag and you have yourself a happy Lydia.
p.s. please excuse the goosebumps.

If, after the latestmobile phone reviews, you’re closer to your iPhone than your boyfriend, then you’re probably a lady like myself who is always finding new ways to be at the forefront of fashion. Lately I've given my little mobile a spring clean of all my old and out dated apps in search of some of the latest fashion apps that are available to download.

                I found that there’s no better place to start than Style.com where you can easily scroll through frequently updated runway coverage, collections and reviews - it’s probably the closest I'll ever get to seeing a live fashion show (worlds smallest violin plays in background)
There's also really good apps for networking and getting your own personal style and views out there such as Trendable where you can follow celebs or create your own feed for others to follow.
And I found Fashism which is a great little app where you can share photos of your outfits and the community leaves feedback, always good when you're having one of those nightmare "I have nothing to wear" days.

            and finally Snapette is like a little fashion dealer on your phone that can guide you via GPS to local stockists of your favourite brands. Needless to say the boyfriend doesn't get a look in these days ;)

Anyway onto my outfit, I have been searching for the perfect pair of boots all damn Winter,
Trust them to fall into my hands as soon as the warmer weather hits! These babies were sent to me from Ecugo.com and haven't really left my feet since, and nor do I plan them to, I can't wait to rock them with bare pins and some leather shorts of some kind this summer.
Also blogging my Tiger tee from Missguided, If I haven't said it 100 times just yet I'll say it again, They just never fail to disappoint and after meeting the team including the Managing Director and Uber babe stylist Sara from Saraluxe.com at their press event in London and learning the about the company ethos, I'm even more of a fan. If you haven't checked them out (which I highly doubt) do it now!

The start are Spring is here, even with a slight chill in the air the sun still fills me with happiness :)
If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen this outfit already, but I decided to do a blog post on it as I have worn it so many times I felt it had earned its place and *SHOCK HORROR* I'm not wearing any C/O items, this i feel was another reason for my lack of posting, I'd started accepting absolutely anything that was sent my way and it was, quite frankly ridiculous. Not to mention the god awful way that some PR companies will hound you to post about an item, even when you buy something online you don't necessarily wear or even keep the item, fit, colour and style are all important and just because something is sent for free it doesn't mean I will over look that.
Anyway, Enjoy the Sunshine Beauties
