Happy 2010…

Posted on January 14, 2010 by Katie

I have lots to look forward to this year!
I graduate from University.
My older sister is getting married.
I plan on doing some travelling.
And I will hopefully have a creative job in the near future.

But before all of this happens I have lots and lots of hard work to do.
Semester 2 classes started this week and I have that anxious feeling already. Too much to do, too little time.

I’m determined to not be tempted to stick my head in the sand and let it all pass by. Nobody ever gets a happy ending that way to they!

So despite the fact that the next couple of months will probably be the most stressful that I’ve ever had to handle. I’m trying to stay positive and keep my eye on the prize!

Good luck to all of your 2010 adventures!

Sailor Stripes. Ahoy!

Posted on January 14, 2010 by Katie

Say hello to stripes in 2010 because they will be every where!

As seen in missguided’s just arrived collection, the variety of stripes are endless. From horizontal to vertical, seen on dresses, skirts and tops. We can’t get enough strips this season.

The best thing, if worn correctly stripes can suit everyone. Added bonus, stripes get fashion kudos as they work wonderfully for both day and night time cool.

Questa Striped Top With Bow Detail On Back- £14.99

For day time chic, pair a simple striped top with skinny jeans and casual flats. If you’re slightly worried that the stripes will not flatter your figure, fear not! Add a bright, block colour cardigan and wear open. Accessories with a bright bag and even better, a large floral pin badge for extra sass!

For a look that will easily take you from office wear to after work drinks. Invest in a 2010 on trend striped dress. Missguided’s Zinna Dress comes in at £18.99 and is a perfect work to party piece.

Zinnia Striped Dress With Puff Shoulders In Peach- £18.99

Wear with opaque tights, bright flats, and boyfriend blazer for office time fashion points. Once you’ve clocked off, dare to bare your legs, add Missguided Fayy studded ankle boots, lashings of mascara and don’t forget a statement necklace. And your ready to party!
