I love this dress! I will be doing a ‘Get The Look’ later on today hopefully! As I am at school right now 🙂 I will also, try and put on my pictures from France as well.
As you know, last Friday, I went to see Westlife perform their last show at Birmingham’s NEC, LG Arena. I must say, I was pretty impressed, and some of it was very entertaining (Like when I got on the Audience Camera, and did the Usain Bolt pose!). So, this is for your boyfriends, or you stylish guys out there. An outfit in the style of Westlife…
T-Shirt with Aztec Sleeve & Pocket Print £12.00, Grey Skinny Jeans £35.00, Waistcoat in Grey £22.00, Ribbed Cuff Lace Up Military Boots £33.00 & Double Crucifix Necklace £8.00 (All from ASOS).
This look is very rock, and looks super cool with this Double Necklace. Just roll up the Jeans, and stuff them into the Military Boots, for that ‘Rough & Edgy’ look.
On Saturday, I will be leaving home, to embark on a short trip to France, ‘Le Mans’ to be precise! So, I thought, as I haven’t been doing any articles recently, and I’m going there, maybe I should do a post on French Fashion? Oui…
Lets start from WW2. During the war, many French fashion houses were shut down, like, Maison Vionnet and Maison Chanel. As Germany took over most of what France produced, including Fashion, Germany took France’s haute couture, over to cities like Berlin and Vienna. During times like this, Fashion shows still went on, but with only around 75 models, shortened amount of time for evening wear, and lighter material being used on day wear. From around 1940, only 4 meters of material was used to make a Coat, and 1 meter for a blouse. With older Fashion houses closing, the only way Women could show there personality through their clothing was through a Hat. These Hats were made from old scraps of coloured materials, and sometimes, even Wood chippings!
A Fashion Show in 1947
After the war had ended, French Fashion started bigger, and better! (See above) Christian Dior, brought in a famous collection, ‘New Look’ in 1947. The collection included dresses full of colour, and skinny waists, for the French women to slip into, and feel good in. From then on, French Fashion was bigger than ever. With Elle, being founded in 1945, and in 1952, Chanel returned to Paris!
In the 1960s French Fashion became more manufactured and more ‘prêt-à -porter‘. Yves Saint Lauren came out with new collections, which were far more casual than just after the war. Since the 1960s, France’s Fashion industry, are now in competition with other countries; Britain, America, Germany, Italy etc.
I hope I come back from France with lots of Photos, so I can share my very short trip – 2 days! – with you all!
I was browsing Sea of Shoes when I found The MILKBBI Shop. It’s totally fresh, and unique, and I love it. Take a sneak peek here…

When ever you see movies, you always see the stars, walking into Starbucks with heels, looking glamorous. So, here’s your chance to do the same…
Full Length Leggings £8.00 (ASOS), Sister Jane Contrast Collar & Cuffs £45.00 (ASOS), Blazer with Roll Sleeve £55.00 (ASOS), Guess D-Hondo-B Peep Toe Heeled Shoes £85.00 (ASOS) Plus+ a Starbucks Coffee!
On Friday, I am lucky enough to have tickets to see Westlife on one of their final shows! So, if you’ve got an upcoming concert, take a look at this…
Crafted Acid Wash Skinny Jeans £35.00 (Republic), Aztec Embellished Shell Top £38.00 (Topshop), Friendship Adjustable Stars & Planets Charm Bracelet £8.00 (ASOS) & Burlap Triangles Women's Classics $54 (Toms.com).
This outfit isn’t just great for Concerts, but for Festivals as well. It’s comfy & totally in trend.
Recently, I watched Footloose (2011), and I thought, why not do a ‘Get The Look for Less’ for the main star, Jullian Hough. She acts as a dancing star, Ariel, in this Modern/Classic film, I recommend it as a good watch.
DKNY A-Line Dress £111.00 (Farfetch.com) - Almost the same!, Pippa Platform Court Shoes £40.00 (ASOS), Pieces Miss Drop Earrings £7.00 (ASOS) & Leather Quilted & Stud Purse £15.00 (ASOS).
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the exact DKNY dress, but I found this very similar Black version. Do you hair in a bun, and bring down little bits of hair to complete the ‘Jullian Hough’ look.
