Outfit of the Day: Primark Mint Skater Skirt & White Platforms

TRIPPY

MEOW

MEWO

Hi huns,

This is a super quick OOTD for you all. I am working from home today, waiting for the landlord to come and check up on our humble little abode. Thankfully, she came about 2 minutes ago, which is lucky because I have been desperate to lurk out to get some food. I am wasting away (….).

I bought this Primark skirt for my holiday to South Africa, and safe to say I absolutely love it. It’s got embossed what I suppose are polka dots (not gross ones though) and is the most beautiful mint green colour. It’s also made in panels, meaning it’s not just a regular skater shape, which is nice.

I wore this lovely skirt with my rip off Celine tshirt (that I got at the Clothes Show). If you can’t see, it says ‘Feline MEOW’ which isn’t really normal behaviour. I quite like it though, even if it is a bit embarrassing.

House of Fraser also sent me some absolutely beautiful bracelets, which I love with the fiery passion of a girl who likes bracelets. Cheers HOF, you babes. You can buy the bracelets here and here.

On my feet, I have my New Look white chunky platforms, and on my lips I have a Makeup Revolution lippy. Read Claire’s review of them, they are great and cost £1. Pardon. My holographic clutch bag is from Primarj – around £8 I believe.

Now I must go and get myself some form of sustenance before I pass out on my laptop, get eaten by the neighbourhood cats and alarm Claire when she gets home from London. We don’t want a Stylingo funeral now, do we?!

What do you think of this outfit? YAY OR NAY?

Outfit of the Day: New Look Kimono & White Platform Sandals

New Look Kimono £19.99 (similar here) | Topshop Acid Wash Jeans (old) | New Look White Chunky Caged Sandals £24.99 | Black Scalloped Vest (old)

Ahoy there maties,

It has bean a while since I’ve done an outfit of the day. This is partly because I have had really scabby skin that has involved me looking like a crocodile for an unusual amount of time in my life. But thankfully, I am slightly less lizardy now and can take photos that don’t involve me looking trollish (…kind of anyway).

I bought this jazzy kimono from New Look before I went away to South Africa. I absolutely love it, from the floral print to the tassels at the bottom. Being a short girl, it’s quite long on me but I actually really like that as well. My only real beef with this kimono is that the tassels keep unravelling. I’m not sure if this is just an unfortunate side effect, or because I stuffed it in the washing machine without a second thought, but it means I keep trailing bits of thread everywhere. Nevertheless, this isn’t enough to put me off in the slightest.

I wore my New Look kimono with my standard Topshop acid wash jeans, a super old Topshop scalloped vest and my New Look white platforms. All in all, I’m pretty pleased with this outfit and I’m enjoying wearing it right now (now you know what I’m wearing, you perverts).

I also have on my tip top fave lip product at the moment, Revlon’s Colourburt Matte Balm in Sultry. Can I get a ‘yes, I agree, these are heaven sent’?

So, what do you think? Get involved in the comments below, you scoundrels.

Outfit of the Day: Primark Pink & Gingham

OOTD 14th April Collage 1Today’s outfit, aside from the necklace, all comes from good ole’ Primark. Can I get a whoop whoop? Actually I’d rather you didn’t. But still, impressive nah?!

OOTD 14th April Collage 2These leggings may remind you of a certain pair of Topshop treggings I sported in this recent OOTD post. I loved those treggings, you loved those treggings… unfortunately as you can see in that post they were pretty long on me and as such I struggled to wear them with certain things. I eventually, woefully, with tears streaming down my face (on the inside anyway) returned them to Toppers and had missed them bitterly since. Which was why I was DELIGHTED to spot this lookalike pair in Primark at the weekend – for a mere £5! I think they’re technically a kind of capri pant/pedal pusher (there’s a phrase I hoped to never say again) as they looked mighty short on the hanger, but on my 5’2 legs they sit at the perfect ankle basher length I’d roll them to anyway.

The jumper was only £6 and is the perfect transitional piece being nice and thin, while my be loved ugly shoes were only £14. Oh and the necklace  was £2 in the New Look sale, making this potentially the most bargains outfit ever at £27 for the whole damn thang. More money for tequila!

What do you all think of this outfit?

Outfit of the Day: Denim Dress & Ugly Shoes

OOTD 8th April New Collage
Dress: New Look / Shoes: Primark / Chain: eBay / 

I’m not sure if it’s because our local New Look is so big that it’s sometimes a struggle to get around without having to stop for a bit of a sit down and a restorative vodka, but for a long time I just couldn’t really be bothered to shop in there. However, we’ve ventured into New Look quite a few times recently and it’s a dang good job too, as they’ve got a smorgasbord of amazing summery bits in at the mo. Yeah, a bloody smorgasbord.

One thing I picked up recently is this denim dress, which is so 90s it makes me want to erect a ladder outside my bedroom window so my mates can climb up and see me a la Clarissa Explains It All (though knowing my luck I’d just get thieves). Or gather around a campfire and tell ghost stories like I’m one of the kids in Are You Afraid Of The Dark. Or go to a mall and discover my long lost twin like in Sister Sister. Enough Nickelodeon references? Okay, moving on…

OOTD 8th April Collage 2Rings: New Look, Primark and c/o Elsie and Fred

I teamed the dress with my new ‘ugly shoes’ from Primark (see my full post on this love-it-or-hate-it trend by clicking here) and my usual lashings of tacky gold.

March Haul: New Look and Primark

Oh hey, didn’t see you there.

You might have read my holiday wishlist post the other day, and well, I may have gone a bit wild on the shopping side of things on Saturday. In fact, I should never have been let loose on the Bullring. I was like a maniac and I’m pretty sure at least one shop assistant ran away in fear.

Anywho, while I didn’t get everything on my wishlist, I did get some absolutely lovely pieces that I may or may not sleep with and/or stroke at night. In happiness. And yeah I’ll say it. Love.

South Africa: My Holiday Wishlist

Something very exciting but slightly alarming is happening in approximately 2 weeks. I’m flying out to South Africa for 2 and a bit weeks, ready to hit the beaches, hit the braais and potentially hit myself in the head when I forget to put suncream on.

For those of you who don’t know, I was born in South Africa and lived there until I was 11. I still have lots of lovely family out there, so I’m as excited to see them as I am to see some elephants. As I was lucky enough to get quite a bit of time off work, I’ll be taking this route here:

MapStarting off in Johannesburg, I’m flying to Port Elizabeth where I have lots of friends and family. After that, I’ll be driving to East London where my grandma lives and after that I’ll be driving to Cape Town, with a little stop in Knysna. Safe to say, it’s going to be absolutely knackering but also HUGELY amazing. I’m super looking forward to it.

What I am not looking forward to, is bloody holiday shopping. Partly because I can’t stop eating cake at the moment, and partly because I actually haven’t done anything yet. I know. I leave in 2 weeks and I haven’t got a pretty sundress to my name. Help.

I’m off to the shops tomorrow to pick up a few bits and bobs, so I thought I’d put together a little wish list of things I want. HOWEVER. I desperately need your opinions before tomorrow (everyone loves a deadline) so I don’t end up looking like a lunatic when I see my long lost family.

PRIMARK COLLAGEAll from Primark’s SS14 Collection (check it out on Instyle here)

These are just a starting point, but I have literally no idea whatsoever about what to get! If you girls know of anywhere that’s doing good holiday stuff at the moment, please PLEASE PLEASE let me know!

Outfit of the Day: Asos Midi Bardot

OOTD March 24th Collage 1Dress: Asos / Shoes: New Look / Bag: old / Necklace: Tiffany’s

Hey errybody! So on Saturday night Lauren and I donned our gladrags for a night of good old fashioned violence at a charity boxing event. The dress code was black tie, but we thought we’d look silly in tuxes so opted for dresses instead.

OOTD March 24th Collage 2I picked up this little number from Asos for the pretty good price of £28. I chose the berry colour in case I got splattered in blood (unfortunately I didn’t, boo), but it also comes in navy or a pale pink. Delightful!

What do you all think of this look?

Ahoy there amigos,

If you follow us on Instagram, you will know that we post pictures of our faces pretty frequently. In fact, we post pictures of various body parts, mostly hands and feet too. This is what we have been up to recently.

  1. I like wearing my converse because it makes me feel hip hop and happening.
  2. Claire giving her Dirty Looks hair extensions a whirl, doesn’t she just look peachy?
  3. Sometimes there is little better in life than a brew and a magazine. Claire had a read of Tatler recently on her lunch break at work.
  4. We got sent some exciting summer goodies from Elsie and Fred. Claire got a beautiful pastel bralet, I got some excellent 60s sunglasses and they sent us some little rings too.
  5. How amazing and excellent are these white sandals from Primark? Very. Claire picked them up for a bargain £14.
  6. And here is me giving my Dirty Looks hair extensions a whirl. They dyed to my ginger hair colour perfectly.
  7. A couple of purchases Claire picked up from New Look and Missguided – pastels are our favey.
  8. Claire matching her ring to her nails, what is she like?
  9. I reviewed this fabulous Barry M lipstick, it is a beaut.
  10. More magazines and more tea, life is good.
  11. Claire was sent these absolutely beautiful floral Doc Martens from Cloggs.co.uk
  12. I like wearing animals on my hands and around my neck. Jewellery from Primark and from New Look!
  13. Claire’s excellent outfit, featuring her new Primark shoes.
  14. Frilly socks are the best.
  15. Claire’s top tramp tip: curl your hair extensions to hide any shaggy ends!
  16. And here is a snap of my face featuring my Elsie and Fred sunglasses. HUZZAH.

We hope that you enjoy stalking us from time to time (although I’m not sure why you would, we lead very boring lives). If you want to follow us in Instagram, we are @StylingoUK. THANKS BYE.

Outfit of the Day: 1460 Vintage Rose Dr Martens

OOTD Docs Collage 2Top: New Look / Jeggings: Topshop / Chain: eBay / Doc Martens: c/o Cloggs.co.uk

Oops, the bitch face strikes again. In my defence though, I think when taking these photos I had to settle for a casual bitch face or risk cracking out into the gompiest smile ever, because I’m so IN LOVE with my new Doc Martens!

I know they’re not to everyone’s tastes – most of the boys in the office stared at me blankly when I proudly tried to show them off, while one just said “Er… are they your new gardening shoes?” – but I think they’re absolute beauties. The floral pattern is such a fun take on the traditional 1460 boot, and I know I’ll get plenty of wear out of them (once I’ve eventually broke them in anyway… I’m currently wearing them in bed). A huge thank you to Cloggs for sending these my way; they also stock Converse, Vans, Hunters, UGGs, Jeffrey Campbells and basically every other brand you could want so definitely check them out dear readers!

OOTD Docs Collage 3For their first outing I’ve teamed my beloved boots with my new waffle-texture top from New Look. I chose to finally get on board with the baby pink trend, but they also stock this in pale blue, cream and black. I don’t really venture into New Look all that much these days, but I definitely need to start as this was a little bargain at £12.99 and I think it’s really versatile.

I’m off to gaze at my boots some more now, bye bye and farewell.

Outfit of the Day: Topshop Gingham Treggings

OOTD Topshop Gingham TreggingTop: Topshop / Treggings: Topshop / Boots: New Look / Hat: H&M / Bag: Primark / Watch: Casio (available via ASOS)

First of all – EWW could my extensions be looking any rattier? Thank the sweet baby Jesus and all of the animals in the manger that Dirty Looks have sent us new extensions to try out (review coming soon!) so hopefully this rattiness can be put to an end.

Secondly – oops, I went to Topshop! I’d had my eye on this pair of checked leggings for the last couple of weeks, but after trying on a few options in the shop I found this pair of treggings to be more flattering due to the thicker material. Also, HELLO, but gingham is so the new tartan anyway. Hair flick.

OOTD Topshop Treggings and Berlin TeeI also picked up this burnout effect ‘Berlin’ slogan t-shirt. I’m always a bit iffy when it comes to t-shirts; I hate when they have a proper Fruit of the Loom kind of neck on them as I feel like I’m being strangled by my own clothes – but there was something about this loose fitting one that I liked. Also as far as slogan tees go, ‘Berlin’ is pretty non-offensive, and I don’t feel like too much of a fraud because I have in fact been there (lovely place, lots of tall people and sausages).

What do you all think of this outfit? Have you seen anything you like in Topshop lately?
