Please Note: Unfortunately this post was one of the blogs (pre.28th of July 2014) that suffered a 'Blogger' crash.. which saw all images vanishing! I have tried to replace the images from the crash as best as I can. However images of me with products etc.. may be lost as a result and therefore the images you see may not match the text(which is original and was not effected by the crash). My blog has therefore had to start fresh and all blogs starting from July 29th 2014 are correct with the appropriate, original and correct images but unfortunately the same can not be said for images lost in posts before this date. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Shahira xo
Hey Blog Readers!
For today's post I wanted to show you a new outfit- monochrome-esk ;) It's been awhile since I did a fashion blog post so no time like the present!
This whole look is from iclothing.ie and I will post direct links to each item below :)
I had a few outfits pulled from iclothing but I decided to go with this one as I can easily dissemble and mix and match items here to create different looks!
Monochrome is always a good bet and is predicted to be huge for spring/summer'14
I have wanted a plain white peplum top for awhile now but I hadn't been able to find a good quality one!
What I love about this white peplum from iclothing is the cut-out back - I feel that this aspect gives the top a sexy edge, especially as the nature of a peplum top is to have quite a high neck-line, so I think the low cut back shows just the perfect amount of skin and means that the top can be worn as a day or night time look!
I also love the slightly padded shoulder as it gives the immediate illusion of an hour glass figure!
My fashion icon is Kim Kardashian, I would love to have her entire wardrobe - she always looks amazing!
Kim can be seen rocking a white peplum with many different outfits below.. which shows just how versatile a top like this can be! hence it is the perfect wardrobe staple! ;)
Now onto the jeans - I am in LOVE with these black and white jungle print jeans = they are definitely a statement piece but again you can dress them up or down! I think they are a great jean for spring/summer!
I am always weary of ordering jeans online because I think jeans are something you generally need to try on and I find it hard to find jeans that fit me correctly! however I fell in love with the jungle print on these jeans as it was something I hadn't seen before so I decided I had to have them!
Luckily I was pleasantly surprised as they fit brilliantly! they are made of a stretchy (almost jegging-like) material which means they hug your body perfectly and in all the right places! I also love that they are high-waisted so they hold the belly in! lol :p They also have pockets on the front and back.
I definitely want to invest in more jeans from iclothing because of the excellent fit!
And although these jeans have quite a loud print because they are staple black&white there are endless ways you could style them! for example with a crop top for a edgier look or a plain T and flats for a casual day-time look!
The shoes I picked-up remind me of a horse riders ankle boot... but with a heel ;) I'm really feeling the equestrian look at the minute-I love leather knee high boots as well as these quirky ankle boots and you could pair these booties with jeans, leggings, or tights and a skirt so they are very versatile!
The cardi is great because it's a waterfall shape which is forgiving on every figure! It is also cosy to wear but still stylish! While this cardi is more of a beige tone rather than a white I still feel that it pulls the outfit together nicely and again it can be dressed up or down depending on what you pair it with. I love leather so I'm loving the leather effect sleeve and rim detail! I also love the length as it's not too long and not too short... = Just right! :)
For the Jewelry I wanted something bold that would add a pop of colour and take away from the monochrome (to change it up). This statement necklace was perfect! I have aqua (green/blue) eyes and I often play off of my eyes with my eye-makeup so I felt that the colours in this art deco necklace would work well, especially in the sun. I can wear it with a bold outfit like this one or allow the necklace to do all the talking by pairing it with a plain black outfit. It would also make gorgeous summer jewelry to stand-out with a nice bikini!
The bag: I love the bag because essentially there are two bags in one ;) It has lots of pockets, which is handy for storing your phone, makeup etc.. there are two straps (long and short) or you can carry it as a clutch and that's not to mention how beautifully sparkly the stud detail is!x!
