Crotchet Top - New Look | Playsuit - ASOS | Fedora - Primark | Fringed Tote Bag - ASOS

Happy Thursday! Time for another Venice instalment, this was on an outfit I wore on our second day there and I am totally in love with it. Usually with this top I just wear it on its (risque I know) but I actually love it layered on top of this, which meant I was covered up slightly but still not over dressed. Paired with my dusky pink fedora, an absolute steal from Primark at a tenner and my trusty tote and I was ready for a day's exploring Venice!

Fringe X Leather

White Shirt - Topshop | Fringe Leather Skirt - Topshop | Contrast Boots - Topshop | Sunglasses - ASOS

Wow, you know sometimes you don't realise that you might have a shopping problem when nearly every bit of your outfit is from Topshop... Yeah that. I love fringe this season, I own two very different fringe skirts which I adore and I am queen of not wearing colour and this is a perfect example of me doing that. 

Today, I submitted my last ever piece of coursework so I really really done with university education now! Unless I have managed to fail my exams again... But we shall see! So now I am preparing for Parklife this weekend and then Venice the weekend after :D so if anyone has any tips or top places to see in Venice please comment below

At the Bath House

Wide Leg Trousers - H&M | Jumper - Oh My Love by Topshop | Pumas - Schuh

The wide leg trouser trend is one I've wanted to dip my toe into for a while, but always felt they overpowered my tiny frame and made it look like I'd escaped from the circus... After trying various pieces with these black satin pair, I decided the best way to broach the trend was to stick to what I know best, monochrome by using black and white to set the trousers off. The trainers make the whole outfit look like a bit more chilled, but it could be easily paired with a pair of barely there heels for an evening look, I might need to get them shortened though...

In other news, for those who don't follow my Twitter page, this week I announced my new radio show which will be started next Saturday at 7pm on W!ZARD Radio, presenting a girls sleepover type show focusing on fashion, beauty and gossip. This came about due to my blog work so I can only thank the people who read my posts for supporting me, and hopefully a few of you might tune in, there's opportunity to win amazing prizes too! I am amazingly grateful for what this blog has brought me and the happiness it gives me.

The Girl in the Red Suit

Suit (Jacket & Trousers) - ASOS | Puma's - Schuh | T-shirt - New Look | Sunglasses - ASOS

Oh, third year you have not been kind to my blogging abilities. Terrible weather, a million deadlines & generally being incredibly busy has meant I've abandoned the blogging yet again. Here's another shot at consistent posting guys...

This outfit was actually shot about a month ago but I'm not terribly happy with the way the photographs turned out, seems the camera loves the car more than it loves me... But I do adore this suit more than life itself and I couldn't resist sharing it red glory any longer. All I wanted was a colour block suit and unfortunately I cannot to buy a full price so I bided my time in the Christmas sales to mis-match these two pieces together to 'make' a suit. Finished off with a plain white tee and my Pumas, I was ready for the world although I don't know if Lancaster will ever be ready for this beauty...

Happy Nail Time

So here I am again guys, sorry for the brief period of absence, university, my 21st and generally life took over momentarily so I had to take a step back from the blog life. But I'm hoping the break is over but I am finding outfit photographs difficult with this miserable weather so here's my top nail polish picks of the moment.

During the colder months, I prefer more neutral colours to bright's and my favourites of the moment are:

- Burgundy. Matte nail polishes make me so happy, there's something special about having nails that aren't all dolled up and shiny and this burgundy piece is a great way of incorporating dark colours without sticking to the stereotypical black nail.

- Duck Egg Blue. I don't know why I love this colour so, I think since I went white I've realised how much blue suits white and there's nothing than having nails to go with your hair is there!

- Beige. I constantly wear nude nails, I think it makes your nails look longer and classy and goes with literally everything!  

- White. When does white not work with nails, having hands that look like you've poured Tip-Ex over them is very me and with my very monochrome colour palette, they are effective on so many levels especially as you can easily add any number of top coats to jazz them up.

So there are my nail favourites of the moment, I hope this is me back for good, please let me know if there's any posts you'd love to see while I'm back

White Jeans - H&M | Baseball Tee - ASOS | Leather Jacket - H&M | Loafers - ASOS | Socks - ASOS | Bag - Primark

This weekend, I paid a visit to the good old city of London to celebrate one of my best friends 21st! We shopped and dined and drank and scared ourselves silly on London Dungeon and I also got to experience my first proper West End show, Wicked! Which was wicked, by the way. Now I couldn't down a good outfit post opportunity so here's what I wore on the Saturday. 

I love colour blocking at the moment, it's probably one of my favourite trends this season and finally plucked the courage up and went for an all white (with a hint of black) look. One colour outfits always look so classic and well thought out, when they're actually so easy to put together. As I did a lot of travelling that day, I wanted to be comfy so white jeans and a white baseball tee were the perfect combo. Paired with black accessories and my new favourite item, fishnet socks, this outfit was a winner for me!

What do you guys think of colour blocking?

Insta' Lovin'

 Trop Rouge

Christina's Instagram is truly fabulous from her outfit posts to her lifestyle pics, she constantly inspires me to wear more masculine items and her love for leather shoes makes me happy every time she pops up on my feed.

 Fashion Hoax

Lian is a fashion blogger from Holland who was one of my main inspirations to dye my hair white, she knows exactly how to pull off a neutral palette and always looks so happy. Another massive inspiration to my wardrobe choices.

 Always Judging

Courtney is another white hared fashion blogger who's stolen my hair this Autumn, the way she can pull nearly an ensemble with an injection of photographs of her doberman. If I'm ever stuck for what to wear something with, I can usually count on her Insta to point me in the right direction. Also, the fact she dressed up as Khaleesi, always a winner.

 Marie Jedig

Lastly, there's Marie, yet another white haired babe who makes me a crave a fringe daily and knows how to work a muted palette and also showed me I can pull off wearing different shades of blue!

Who's been rocking your world recently on Instagram?

Bleach London Review

Bleach London Total Bleach & White Toner

Now if you follow me on Social Media, you'll already know about my thing with white blonde hair and my struggle to achieve it! Well my friends, I've found the solution. Bleach London started as an independent salon in London, dying hair a wide range of colours from Mermaid Green to Sassy Pink. Then the hair gods provided, and they launched their range in Boots. I was meant to try Bleach London about a month ago, when my student loan came in, but low and behold, they had sold out, sod's law. So I waited and waited, then got bored and tried other dyes which failed to get the whitest I truly desired. Then the hair gods provided again and both the products I need came back in stock.

I bought Bleach London Total Bleach & White Toner, the bleach to remove the colour from my hair and take it way back to its lightest colour. Now when you bleach your hair, it goes yellow as your hair is naturally yellow when stripped back. So I needed the White Toner to get rid of the icky yellow tones and get my perfect Ice Blonde look I'd been looking for. Now these products are expensive, £7 a pop which if you've got long/thick hair can get costly, but its so worth it. No other product has managed this like these have. They also come with Reincarnation Masks to help bring your hair back to life but I do have to say, this bleach has been the kindest on my hair out of all bleach I've used. Now I'm not a beauty blogger so I'm not going to blog about the process, I just wanted to show my love and the before and after effects of these products. 

If you too, can't get enough of the white, I'd recommend this to the grave. Strong 9/10, just a tad expensive.
