Zalando Fashion Frenzy competition

Hey, guys.
Being a student at university is not cheap, especially when you want to keep up to date with the latest fashion trends, or make your own. It sometimes gets me fustrated when I can't afford the things I really want.
So when a fellow blogger told me about the 'Zalando fashion frenzy' competition, I immediately thought my problems have gone away.
 Basically Zalando is holding an exciting competition for us bloggers (and facebookers), they are giving a lucky person the chance to win a £300 voucher every month for a whole year (that's £3600 worth of amazing clothes, shoes and accessories all at bargainable prices) to spend on their online fashion store!! What do you have to do to win this prize you ask? Well that's the fun and easy part!
All you have to do is put together a 'dream outfit' using items from Zalando.co.uk and when you are done, post it on your blog explaining what you've chosen and why, linking your chosen items back to Zalando. After you’ve posted, simply leave your name and URL in the comment box here. If you don't win the 'grand, and amazing' prize, you still have a chance at winning some runner up prizes so give it a go! Here is the example blog post for a little idea.


Well enough about that, here's my take on my 'ideal outfit', the difference is I have actually chosen a 'day' and 'evening' outfit. I just thought, if you get the chance to show your individual style, why not show it both way eh?. Was a hard choice though, took me an hour and a half to finally decide. Hope its to your liking:

*Day outfit* Minimilistic yet Powerful
1. D&G Canotta vest I'm a vest type of girl, and when I saw this D & G vest online i instantly fell in love with it. Ignore the price, but to me it is amazingly cheap for a 'D & G vest'. I love how it differentiates with other vests because the logo is on the front. It makes space for a necklace which is amazing.  £47.95


2.Modalu London- Gwapa small grab shoulder bag Seriously I love this bag. Not just how you can wear it on your shoulder or hold it in your hand, making it 'completely wearable'. But also because it's high fashion and  has alot of compartments to put our girl things in (makeup, lipstick, mobile phones...) Worth the price £220


3.Seven Seconds Brogue. LOVE LOVE LOVE!. This is why Brogues are hot on the trend right now, their comfortable, appealing, high quality, cheap and you can wear them with anything. I'll take them anyday £35.95                                                       
4.KILLA liberty trousers. One thing about these jeans, is that they can go with anything, I love the colour wash as well as how the length isn't too long. Gives you the chance to show off those amazing brogues.£69.95                                                

Bruuns Bazaar Blazer (alliteration, aah love it!). I have always fantasized about wearing long blazers, especially since you can wear it with anything. This is shown  with the transitions from my 'day'to 'night' outfits as a 'key piece'. Because it's long, is a big bonus, because it looks 'high fashion', and it can keep you warm in the cold weather. £249.99
                                                                       
Rouge Dior lipstick. Another 'key piece' for my collection eh? lol. I havent tried it before but I'm eager to see the results. Dior always exceeds my expections. £25.95
                                                           

*Night outfit* Killer Red
1.Minimum KAMILLA-short dress  This beauty is an amazing dress for night out. The back is my favourite part: it has a cross-strap so it shows a bit of skin. The material insinuates the curviness of the dress. With only one more left, this is a stealer at £59.95
2.Ursula Mascaro platform heels. UGH LOVE!, the fierceness of the red combined with the 4" inch heel. The leather makes it even better. Definitely worth the price. £200
 
3.Minna Parikka Clutch bag. This is an amazing clutch, I especially love the red lips used as a button. Inreference to the 'women are dangerous' theme. I wouldn't want to carry a handbag on my night's out, plus this clutch suits my whole outfit indefinitely. £265


4.PRITI NYC MINI-nail polish. Matches the colour scheme of my outfit. Love the richness and quality of the nail varnish. Plus it's 'PRITI NYC'. £9.95

Heels & Rides.

Dress from River Island-£45
Ring form Peacocks-£3.50

Hey guys, sorry if it looked as though I haven't been blogging for a while, was really busy.


Yesterday I went out with my really good mates from college (aww reminiscing the good old days) and we went to Tinseltown to eat and enjoy ourselves.
 Was quite an evening; it involved heeps of laughter, falling on the floor and lots of pictures. And we werent even drunk. PFFT! But it was worth it because one of my friends are going to Texas for her uni course this Sunday and it was nice to say goodbye to her properly than over the phone or Skype. :(.
-With the leopard printed dress, I love how striking it looks, i get alot of compliments on this dress which I am thankful for and i used limited accessories which was a bonus.

Remember the phrase...'Minimilistic yet powerful?..yes?... good.

As with the ring I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. Im quickly embracing the 'hippy' style with these special types of rings, not only do they stand out but they are really comfortable to wear.


Ripped jumper from River Island-£12.99
Shorts from Forever 21-£8.99
Hairclip from H & M-£2.99


I'm not the one to wear this style of clothing whether I go out. But when i saw this jumper on the RI website, i fell in love with it right away. My favourite is how loose it was and easy to wear. As today I went Thorpe park (which was amazing btw), it began to rain, and although the jumper was thin, it made me feel really warm.

Style Influence:


Hysteric platform high heels from Asos |  Mustard skiny jeans from Asos-£35

TEAM IT UP WITH THESE BAD BOYYS!

I thought it would be a good idea to team up the shoes and jumper with the mustard jeans. It may not be your average styling, but I love how the colour differentiates from the two. Making it stand out.
But if its not you cup of tea then just team with denim/black jeans, it will look equally as appealing.
The best thing about them is that they are all from ASOS store, and whilst shopping there, there is

Shopping; the way to go..

Hai again. This post is a little late but i tried to post  it before wednsday :( Hence the time.
Nothing really happened today, just usual work then home.


Looks like the RIOT has died down. finally.. We can all get back to our lives (and hopefully shop) in peace.


Today after work, i went shopping and brought some cool stuff. Most was for my uniform but others i just wanted to treat myself. Every girl that works hard..deserves a treat right? Agree? good. And so i ran into the dressing room with at least 10 items of clothing, of which had splashes of colour on them.

1.Embroidered lie top-£26/high wasted skirt-£30
2.Red long sleeve with transparent arm-£30
3.Black Evening dress-£75
 I especially love the embroidered top, because it has alternative styles. You can wear it with a high-waisted skirt as seen in the image, or with normal jeans or leggings.
Thats what i love. How one piece of clothing will look good with anything.


As said before..
it's..
Minimilistic yet powerful

The same goes with the red long sleeve, it can be worn at any part of the day.
Personally I would limit using accessories but if you find yourself being bold, why dont you try looking at the different accessories shown on Love heart and Crosses. online store.

 For number 3, i absolutely adore this black dress, i love the pleated line across the torso, which isinuates the curves. Its comfortable, and although it nots bold in terms of colour, it definitely is bold in terms of the style. Teamed with the linen holterneck..you can't go wrong with this frock.


Black flower embroidered dress-£50


One thing about this dress, it that it brings out the girliness in you. As soon as i tried it on, i almost felt as if i was a couple years younger.
Its so adorable and cute, including the flowers it creates an innocent yet beautiful impression.
Like a doll!
I presonally love the dress, you can wear it anywhere and anytime you like whether its a quikc trip to the market or for a lovely lunch out with the girls.

What these clothes have in common is that you can experiment with them. Casual or not; they still will look good on you. And at a good price...what you waiting for???

All products from Wallis online store. (except for the necklace of course)
