An unexpected day in the sun

Today I spent my afternoon at Linlithgow with my brother and mumma. After a lovely lunch at a small cafe we walked around the loch in the sun, which is always unexpected in Scotland but beautiful when it decides to make an appearance. 

So today I was wearing black skinny jeans that I got from TK Max one of my favourite shops ever, cause anything that you buy you can bet no one else will have cause they sell like one of each item. My creepers which I adore and went through a phase of not wearing them but they are back on the scene! A cotton swim suit baby blue from New Look and my denim jacket again - cause you can literally team a denim jacket with anything and it goes! Along with my favourite shopper tote bag from River Island which is covered in cats and cost me £1! Bargain! I hope everyone is having a lovely day! xo

Save on your summer spending!

If you're anything like me, clothes and the latest trends are a major part of your life. I cannot stop to visit the shops at least once a week to check out whats new then obviously buy whats new. The tragic tale which explains why I have no money in my bank account. This morning I got my weekly text updating me of my cash balance in my account and it was a good thing I was lying down, as I would've fainted. That encouraged me not only to lock myself in my room until I get paid but to write an article on ways to save your money in the clothes department. So I have selected a few essential items for any wardrobe that are in trend this season showing you how much money you can save!

Rocket Fuel was introduced on the catwalk for the Autumn-Winter collection from numerous designers. From Saint Laurent to Marc Jacobs, models were presented in head to toe sparkles and sequins. Although you may save up for months to buy the same outfit that was highlighted on the catwalk so you can prance about in Marco de Vincenzo, I can present you with styles extremely similar at a much cheaper price.. Topshop offer a Plunge V Sequin Bodycon Dress for £60.00 (that is not including 10% student discount for all you clever cookies out there.) The dress is sleeveless and covered in sequins with a zip fastening. Team this dress with some killer heels and a clutch and you will be hitting the town looking like you should be on the catwalk, without the designer price tag might I just add!

The beautiful Cara Delevingne presented her new collections of bags which she designed for the designer label Mulberry. With contrasting designs Cara's Mulberry bags are the talk of the town and with such a mass following of youngsters you can be sure everyone will want a Cara bag. However, it won't shock you to learn that the Cara bags do not come cheap, with prices starting at £890 and escalating to £2,500 you better get saving fashionistas!However, do not fret as I have scoped the high-street stores for cheap twins of the Cara bags and I have good news for you today! Again, using my favourite high-street store, Topshop offers a wide selection of backpacks similar to Cara's designs from £34.00 not including student discount. Wear it just like Cara girls!

Shoes, shoes, shoes, what more could a girl want? Except David Beckham of course. Louis Vuitton presented some beautiful shoes named the Rolling Sandal in their Spring Summer collection. Rolling in at £645.00 these shoes might as well have been crafted by angels. However, I have found some very similar sandals for more than half the price! Don't say I'm not good to you ladies. The Tan Jewel Two Part Sandals from Next at only £34 will save you a small fortune in comparison to the Rolling Sandal. Also from a distance these sandals look just as expensive!

Denim Days

Today I'm wearing a very casual and festival like outfit. I've opted for a casual style today as I'm not doing a lot apart from heading to do some food shopping then going to Aqua Fit class tonight with my friend and mum.

So my denim jacket is from Zara and its two years old, I customised it with a few badges as I felt it was very plain. My playsuit is from H&M - I actually bought it when I was in Marbella but that is another story for another time! Again, my favourite shoes at moment are from Primark and were an absolute bargain at £15 - I had to have them! 

Today I'm wearing

Hey guys,

So I thought to myself to become a successful blogger and to share my fashion habits I must post consistently to my blog. I'm not much of a fashion blogger as I usually just share with my followers whatever is on my mind, but today I'm sharing a fashion blogger-esk post and hopefully I will continue to do so. So today I am wearing, a black crop top from Topshop, white skinny jeans from Miss Selfridge, black heeled boots from Primark and a long black cotton mac from Topshop (in the sale!). Accompanied with necklaces, rings and lazy hair!

I hope everyones having a lovely day,
Nicole

London Blues

So I have finally got round to writing a new post about my time in London, as I've been so busy with work and starting my new job in Lacoste! 

My last day working for Verge Magazine was probably the best day in London as I met fashion blogger Atosa Nikkhah. Atosa has been recognised for her style during London Fashion week and her blog has been featured in worldwide publications such as Vogue, Teen Vogue, ASOS and Cosmopolitan. Therefore, meeting such a successful blogger meant a lot to me and really gave me an insight into my work as a fashion journalist. Not only was Atosa a friendly and easy going young woman she had the most classic style and she carried an air of elegance wherever she went. After interviewing Atosa we wandered aimlessly around Sloane Square finding cute spots to carry out the photo shoot - there will be professional photographs to follow this was just my favourite from my phone. Atosa posed naturally in front of beautiful iron gates, fountains and zebra crossings, wherever she posed she brought a sense of chic to every location. If you are interested in Atosa check out her fashion blog http://www.mybubbaandme.com and her instagram http://instagram.com/atosanikkhah# you will not be disappointed!

Verge Magazine London: Day One

So today was my first day of placement at Verge Magazine in London. Not only that but my first day in London, so basically the best day of my life. I was genuinely the most nervous person in the world this morning before starting placement. However, when I met the lovely Rosalind (my editor) all my worries vanished! After meeting the rest of the interns at the magazine I started on an article for the magazine. My article is about bikinis that suit all different body types an how to find the perfect bikini, you can read my article in Verge Magazine -http://www.vergemagazine.co.uk/girls/2014/07/bikinis-body/

So then myself and my two editors went to a meeting with the head of PR for HTC phones. Was literally the most interesting meeting I've ever been to. Nothing what I expected it to be like, so causal but so interesting. Top secret information that I cannot share, but being a PR seems very fun.

So today was successful in every way. I now know what I want to do in life and what my heart is set on as a career (fashion journalist/PR) Tonight I'm going to china town for dinner and tomorrow is a new day, things are definitely looking up! I hope everyone enjoys their night, I know I will x
