style

Before I start this blog post on my new almight obsession with Yazbukey I just want to ask you guys something… Do you prefer me posting every other day or, whenever? Do you prefer it more frequent and ‘scheduled’ or more laid back? I really need to know! Anyway… onto Yazbukey. Ohhhhh, my. I need to say a thank you to Susie Bubble for Instagramming this picture, which started this whole ‘thing’ off… (Images from Yazbukey)

Is it rubber? Is it card? No, it’s Plexiglas! At first I was like, ‘Oh, that’s pretty cool! It’s rubber!’ but then I read on and realised it was acrylic glass. Yazbuckley takes the Tatty Devine style designs to the next level. All the creations are insane. From a corset shape which you attach to your outfit with a strap, to wig shapes which are actually hats, I want everything. My favourite are the Murder She Wrote (below) for A/W 13′ and the Tropical Heatwave (above) for S/S 13′ collections. I love the fact that there are statement pieces as well as simple accessories to suit everyone’s taste. I’m surprised that I had never heard of Yazbukey before, seeing as the brand has collaborated with designers and brands like Chanel, Zac Posen, Laudree and even L’Oreal. I’m really excited to see future collections, from Yakbukey.

I love the Pop Art, retro feel of all the designs and collections, but yet it all feels modern and ‘current’. I feel like acrylic is the new silver… forget dainty necklaces, it’s time for plastic. I mean, ‘come on, Barbie’ – see what I did there… – even said it? You might be thinking ‘But Silver is way more elegant than Plastic.’ Umm? Take a look at the earrings and necklaces in the bottom right of the picture above. I believe ‘Yaz’ has proven you wrong. Ahh, how beautiful. My never-going-to-happen Christmas wishlist has just grown a tad longer. Dear Yazbukey, please could I have the oxblood bag with the sunglasses etc, on the front? Thank You in advance.

So basically, when I went to England, I had coinage, when I came back I had… nought. My explanation? Well, basically you can just watch this A/W fashion haul video… 😉

I hope you enjoyed the video! If you did, I would really appreciate if you subscribed, commented or even just gave it a thumbs up! I’m sorry that there isn’t any pictures, but they really didn’t come out great! I’m sure their will be OOTDs featuring the pieces, so watch out for them!… Seeing as this is my haul post from England, here are few Instagram pictures etc from my trip! Remember to follow me @tdposh! Enjoy…

I hope you’d liked this post and enjoyed my video! I really love my purchases! 😀

”Honey, I’m home!” – Okay, maybe not ‘honey’ but, yes, I am back! The trip was really nice, fun and exciting (shopping, and new born baby cuddles, what more could you want?), but sadly I am back 🙁 I have a cold, and I miss my sister a lot. But, to get things started again, I’m here with teen a/w fashion design collection! Please excuse any abnormal legs in this collection… aha!

Mixed Knit Pinafore Dress and White Blouse (left) & ‘Can U Not’ Marl Sweater and Paisley Print Mixed Denim Jeans (right):

I feel like this dress (left) is a mix between an old man’s sweater (lol), and a waitress’s dress (weird…) but someone how I think it looks pretty cool. I would hopefully make the top part of the dress a knitted part, and then the scalloped skirt either a jersey material, or a chiffon material, I cannot decide! I would also make the top part detachable, because I hate it when the skirt part of a dress is also nice on it’s own! The blouse would be an ordinary white blouse, but with some nice floral buttons. The ‘sweater’ on the right, would be a nice marl fabric, with soft fluffy lining. On the front it has ‘Can U Not’ (one of my favourite sayings at the moment) in a pastel pink colour. As you can see, the shoulders have a blue detailing, which would have a ? (question mark) print. The jeans are a mixed denim paisley print skinny jean. I would want them to be quite skinny, but comfortable so they would fit most teens.

Blue and Grey Hooded Blazer/Jumper, Pastel Blue Blouse and ‘Soundwave’ Print Tube Skirt (left) & Red Chiffon Vest and Deep Red Checked ‘Party’ Skater Skirt (right):

I thought of a jacket which would be perfect for teens, whether it was for just casual use, or for at school (if you don’t have to wear uniform that is), and I made up the perfect of pieces! It’s basically a jersey material blazer, with hood, and a thicker lining, so it keeps the comfort of a hoody, but style of a casual blazer, all in one. The skirt is a tube style, so it comes just to the knee, and the blouse, again is just a plain one, but with the collar in a lighter blue than the shirt itself. The vest on the right, is one of those chiffon-y, lightweight, floaty ones, with skinny straps. The skirt would be a nice thick, but easy wear, skater style, in  a deep red check, to go along with the A/W trends.

I feel like all these designs are very teen appropriate. What do you think? Make sure to leave me a comment down below! Also check out my previous designs here.

One of this month’s advertisers, Miss L J Beauty, is here to talk beauty blogging! Enjoy…

What inspired you to start your Blog?: I have always loved reading blogs. To be honest I never thought I’d get any followers I just wanted somewhere to share my passion for all thing beauty.

Why did you chose Beauty as a topic?: Beauty is my passion and in my day job I’m not able to wear much make up and I love it so it’s nice to be able to chat about my passion. I share my make up looks on my blog.

What are your top tips on starting a Blog?: Just do it! I am a new blogger and I am learning everyday. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, the beauty blogger world is full of amazing and helpful people.

What are your blogging targets for this year?: To be honest I don’t have goal and it was a huge surprise when I hit 20 followers let alone 100, so I would love to reach 250 BlogLovin’ followers by the end of this year!

Who are your favourite fellow bloggers?: Ooo I love so many… Kirsty from Yellow Brick Blog, Bethany Worrall, Tattooed Tea Lady and The Sunday Girl! Gosh I could go on for ever!

What trend are you looking forward to rocking this A/W?: Tartan tartan tartan being a highland lass I love me some tartan!

What are your favourite make-up brands, high end and low end?: Ooo I have to say Superdrug because of MUA, and for high-end, MAC. It’s all about MAC!

What’s your personal style and what do you to work it?: My style changes so often I love experimenting but if I’m honest with my hour glass shape, I am restricted to more flattering pieces. You can’t get better than a skater dress!

Today’s guest post is by the lovely Christina at Kimi & Me, where she’ll be talking about all things Texture, with a small little thing by moi, too! 😉

1: Velvet High Neck Top (ASOS)//2: Check Mesh Top (New Look)//3: Fluffy Crop Jumper (Topshop)

Christina: I really love the fluffy jumpers and cardigans in Primark at the moment, they have become a very popular buy. So much so they have sold out in the Primark near me. It is the perfect texture for A/W, so soft and cosy to wear. Topshop also offer plenty of textured knits (I have my eye on a pink fluffy top). I would also love a faux leather skirt, as it would be such a fun staple piece to style. My favourite item (above), is the velvet check top from asos. The velvety fabric, and colours are such a lovely combination, and this top would be ideal for those Christmas parties (not long til it’s that time of year!)

Tolly: My favourite item from above has go to be the mesh top! As you all know, I love me some Tulle and mesh, so this is definitely a nice piece in my opinion! Subtle but eye catching. Really nice for A/W 🙂

4: Quilted Panel Top//5: Check Embellished Top//6: Faux Leather Panel Top (All Topshop)

Christina: Mixing/layering textures can give an outfit a whole new look, and feel. When it starts to get cold out, I love to layer different prints and fabric together, even if it’s just adding a scarf/stole.

Tolly: I love mixing textures, and Topshop have got it spot on! My favourite has got to be the quilted top! I know there is a similar one in Primark, so I’m keeping my eyes open for it!

Today’s guest post is from the wonderful, Lisette Henry at Lisette Loves. Do you remember when she guest blogged last time? Well, she’s back again with another cute, quick and simple one! Take it away… 

Lisette: That time of year has come once more, the layering here in the UK is well and truly underway as we hurtle into the icy months of fall. Tartan is a trend which resurfaces almost every year on the catwalks and on the highstreet, this year is no exception. A lot of my friends shy away from tartan, scared they will look like overgrown school girls or too grungey and ‘punk’. I decided that I would put together a mini lookbook, my first in fact, to show some of the ways that I wear this deliciously autumnal trend.

look one: Boyfriend Blazer – Primark, Fur Collar – H&M, Cami – Topshop, Skirt – Matalan, Shoes – Office

look two: Scarf – H&M, Oversized Breton Top – Primark, Joni Jeans – Topshop, Chunky Boots – Topshop 

look three: Biker Jacket – Ark Clothing, Dress – H&M, Shirt – New Look, Cut Out Boots – Topshop

What do y’all think?
Tolly: I think you look great Lisette! My favourite is Look One! Perfect! Simple, cute and definitely A/W appropriate! 🙂

Goodbye France, Hellooooo ENGLAND!

Hello 🙂 One of this month’s advertisers, Rebecca from Fashion & Forever, is here to answer a few questions about fashion and blogging! Enjoy…

What inspired you to start your Blog?: I don’t have one set answer for this I just knew I wanted to get into fashion. I have always been interested in fashion and over the past few years I wanted to start a up a blog and finally did earlier this year and I’m so glad I did. But I also look up to fellow bloggers and people in the fashion industry.

Why did you choose Fashion as a topic?: I chose fashion because since I was younger I have always had a creative streak, well that’s what people say, and over the past few years I have really got into designing things and putting outfits together.

What are you top tips on starting a Blog?: Well I haven’t had my blog for that long but I’d just say be yourself and just do what you want to do. I would also say its definitely quality over quantity, don’t worry straight away that your not getting 1000 views or 100 followers, you should be doing it because you enjoy it and that’s all that matters. Nothing has to be too serious, and if you want to go into it professionally wait a bit and experiment!

What are your Blogging Targets for this year?: Well I would have to say by the end of the year I would like to get over a 1000 views, I am a few hundred off which is mind blowing that people are reading my blog haha but yes I think that’s it, and just to generally keep making friends with fellow bloggers.

Who are your favourite fellow bloggers?: I have so many, and I feel like that was such a bad answer but I really do! I have also been chatting to a few teen bloggers and love reading there blogs but I don’t think I can pick out of them. Sometimes I go for reading some slightly older blogs and some teen blogs but always love people sending me their links!

What trend are you most looking forward to working, this A/W 13?: When I heard about Winter Pastels I got really excited as I think pastel colours are amazing and already have a few pastels items in my A/W wardrobe, also tartans and oversized coats, however I have to watch how big I go with clothes as I’m extremely petite! But I have also been liking the colours this year too.

Where’s your favourite place to grab a bargain and why?: Well if I’m looking for something very cheap, I will go to Primark haha, if your on a budget it is the place to be. Some people don’t like it and say everything brakes but everything I have bought there is still going strong. But definitely Primark for bargains.

What’s your favourite fashion designer?: This is so hard for me because if were talking high-end fashion I would have to say I do like a few of the clothes from Burberry this year  and Dior but also love seeing some of the unique styles from designers like Vivienne Westwood. Another I would say is Elie Saab because the clothes are just amazing, and so many more.

What’s your favourite ever item of clothing/accessory you’ve ever bought and why?: Once again I have had quite a few things that I have loved and then I have to move on, oh dear, but as you have noticed I cant make decisions. I just think I want to hoard all of my clothes, but probably either my ankle boots or one of my winter knits.

What’s your personal style and what do you do to work it?: I guess my styles all over the place, I love wearing spots and lace and leather and tartan and prints. So once again lots but I just love putting outfits together depending on the occasion or just in general quite a laid back style but still put together.

Hi hi. How are you? Seeing as you loved my Tulle Dresses & Neon Trainers post so much, I thought I’d make another similar one, but this one is all about my love for Holographic Fashion (plus a bit of sparkle)! (Images via Pinterest)

Everything. Is. So. Perfect. I’m obsessed with the Holographic trend. At first I wasn’t sure, but now I just love it. It’s so three dimensional, and looks different in every light. I mean, how cool is that ruck sack? I love different colours of holographic things too, like the pink mini dress and biker jacket, AND THOSE SHOES. OH MY. Please can I have them? PLEASE! I believe this trend was more ‘in’ this summer, but I think it is still perfect for winter because it reminds me of snowflakes and just crisp, coolness. Plus, imagine wearing a holographic dress to a Christmas party? 100% awesome-ness. I also love how it can be layered with different textures, especially faux fur, which looks literally amazing with it. If you want to just add a touch of holographic, do it with shoes… a bag… or an awesome head-shield-mask-y thing. But seriously, I think we need to take a moment to appreciate the awesomeness of that pink holographic two piece. *moment of silence* Ahhh, so beautiful.

Tulle Skirt//Sparkly Brogues//Gem Tights

I am sorry for the Barbie in the background. I do not play with Barbie anymore, I am a 13 years old guys. The only reason for including the picture was because it was Pinterest’s only answer to ‘Holographic & Tulle’ (y’all know my addiction to Tulle), so it was sort of obligatory to include it. But yeah, this is sort of the ‘Sparkly’ part of this post. My answer to anything nice and glittery, now lies in the hands of The White Pepper. Their new collection for winter features some gorgeous glittery pieces, I love them! I am absolutely furious – GRRR – that the Tulle skirt on ASOS is only in size large in the sale. I almost cried when I saw it at only £15.00. Why must you be so beautiful?! 🙁 I am definitely warning you that you will probably have made your Christmas wishlist by the time you have finished browsing The White Pepper. *sighs*

I hope you liked this little post 🙂 If you did, please leave a comment below with your thoughts, because I quite enjoy doing these ones! Pip Pip!

Hello ‘ello ‘ello. Today I am bringing you a little post on a designer at Avenue 32. Do you remember this wishlist? If you do, then you will know that I love Avenue 32 for inspiration. I couldn’t really afford some of the stuff, but when it comes to getting ready for the upcoming seasons, I love browsing the site!

Navy Novelty Leather Jacket//Navy Double Face Skirt//White Leather Bi-Stretch Dress//Black Leather Trousers (All at Avenue 32)

Leather Jacket – I love this jacket! It’s so sophisticated, yet it’s still edgy with the double tone leathers. I also lurrrve, the different textures on the arms. It’s definitely one of those investment pieces and I’m sure it would last a long time. It also looks really fitted, and just overall… nice. I like.

Skirt – This is such a nice, basic skirt. It’s simple, but it gives off a flair of ‘WOW’. I love the leather detailing, as it really structures the silhouette. The colours also mean that it would be good for all occasions; work, an evening out etc etc.

Leather Dress – I’ve never been a fan of ‘all leather’ pieces (except biker jackets), but somehow, because this dress is white, it works. It’s a very ‘David Koma’ dress but slightly muted down. As you already know, I’m a big fan of beautiful structures, and fluid line designs, so this is definitely a piece I would get my hands on!

Leather Trousers – As I said for the dress, I’m not the biggest ‘all leather’ fan, but I think if you wear certain elements correctly, it can look fant-abulous. These look really chic, but I’m still not sure having real leather on your legs will be the most comfortable? Maybe? I think I will stick to faux leather…

Fact File on Yigal Azrouel – Azrouel is an Israeli American how is a top fashion designer in New York. He had no formal fashion design education, but has participated in New York Fashion Week. He is best known for his feminine designs and draping techniques.

I hoped you liked this little post! I will be continuing with my A-Z designers series very soon, but this was a little extra for you! I just love some of things that are available, and now I have 2 designers which do amazing structures, to look at.
