Style steal: American Apparel Disco Pants

The American Apparel Disco pants are definitely on my list of 'want-but-can't-have', they are great but 70 pounds is a bit steep. I have found a couple of pairs for over half the price!

Enjoy x


American Apparel Disco Pants


Glamourous Uk offer alternatives at over half the price (29.99) and unless you see the label you will not be able to tell the difference. Although the range of colours is limited, the two most popular colours black and pewter are available, along with gold and navy.
I especially love the black as they are slimming and go with everything ( Camera Fund have a really cool selection of unique homemade crop tops that would look great with these)

My Five Fav Maxis (Number 1)

Maxi skirts can be dressed up or down. It takes a bit of confidence to wear a maxi but when pulled off, look really chic. The aim of a maxi is to accentuate your waist and make you look taller.
I personally love Maxis (when I find them long enough) and as long as you get a flattering style and cut then they look so elegant. To try and add a bit of an edge to Maxis, I pair them with boots or studded shoes and a leather biker jacket.

Anyway, here is the first of my five fav Maxis.

Chiffon Maxi Skirts:

The black chiffon Maxi Skirt is found almost everywhere, river island, dorothy perkins. I especially like the split up the side in the one from river island though.
You can buy it with the underskirt or simply the black chiffon skirt. If you buy just the overskirt you can choose any print to go underneath. American apparel do a lovely choice of colours, not just black but if your budget is smaller then zara, h&m or asos marketplace are the places to look.
Ebay offers the same style of skirt for less than £10 but I can't say what the quality will be like.
AB MAXI[6]



Miss selfridge do an amazing lilac side split maxi skirt in lilac. I have had my eye on it for ages and now its in the sale for £22 I am very tempted to snap it up! It won't last long so if you like the look of it, I would hurry before they all sell out..

Item of the Week

Spotted: My item of the week



Motel Rocks is amazing for bright vibrant prints in every style you could want. Sun dresses, bustiers, playsuits and jeans are always great quality and guaranteed to get you noticed!

This Zoe Bodycon dress is incredible, especially for £28!
I love the symetrical vibrant print and this dress is incredibly form fitting and flattering. It looks stunning paired with a pair of black heels or sandals and is an instant wardrobe update.
I would recommend this company and this product to everyone!


Camo Jacket Look

Style Steal

STYLE STEAL: Camo Jacket


The camo jacket is a massive trend, seen on celebs such as Alexa Chung and Fearne Cotton. It looks great over a lacey dress or with the wet look leggings featured in my last post. 

Last time I was in Urban Outfitters, I loved their Urban Renewal Jacket, but for nearly £50 I wasn't convinced. After some searching I have discovered almost an identical jacket for £14.99!! I have since ordered from this website and the products are great value and nice quality. www.fu-kit.com supplies all kinds of camo/army jackets for a fraction of the cost.
                                                                                                          Urban Outfitters- £48































                                                             Fu-kit: £14.99

Lovely Leggings

Leggings are basically a more comfortable alternative to jeans, and unlike most trousers come in hundreds of styles and colours at pretty reasonable prices. I am just going to show you five of my favourites x


I am absolutely in love with the ying and yang leggings, i also managed to find them for 4.99 on ebay, absolute bargain!
The black milk dollar leggings have been on my want list for ages and they recently came into stock, if you're willing to invest, they are beautiful quality and i guarantee you will get compliments wherever you go. ( I often get stopped when I wear a similar pair).

Although these topshop tie dye leggings are reasonable-ish, there are plenty of rip offs on ebay, if you just type in "tie dye leggings". They look great with a black tee, if you're into grunge.

You cannot go wrong with aztec print. It is everywhere! It looks great with a simple vest top and leather jacket or jumper combo. I love these colourful blue ones but a simple black and white pair can turn into a great wardrobe staple.

Finally wet look leggings. These are brilliant with everything and are seen on basically every fashion forward celebrity. You have to get the right fit and quality, cheap wet look leggings are not great. I love saving money but after seeing some in tesco, i have definitely been put off.. These ones from Very are a very reasonable price for this style of leggings

Enjoy x
