The Embroidered Dress Setting Me Up For Summer

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

So excited to show you guys this beaut of a dress from Shein, honestly I loved every minute wearing this dress. The quality of the fabric used is exceptional, which is amazing as Shein are such an affordable brand. This dress is only £28 and the embroidery is beautiful, I am in love with the red tassels at the front, and balloon style sleeves.

As I have explained before Shein sizes run quite small, I am a size 8/10, and I have this in a medium and it fits perfectly. It isn’t too short, it isn’t too long, it really is the most perfect dress. I honestly have the biggest wishlist for Shein, so hurry up payday I want to get shopping!!

I am wearing this dress with studded sandals from Topshop, although they have quite a high heel they are so comfortable to walk around in. I actually had a pair very similar to these from Topshop years ago, and I wore them to death, so when they released this pair that were so similar I went to buy them straight away!

The Summer Off the Shoulder Two-Piece of Dreams

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Yeh yeh I know, this two piece is AMAZING, from a brand I have only just discovered Narlaka and if there was ever a piece that is totally me then this is it! I am usually scared of white shorts (big bum syndrome, it’s not actually an illness, it’s just have a big bum, lol) and I will shy away from anything white on my bottom half, especially shorts, but honestly guys these shorts are so  flattering! They have made me re-think how I feel about shorts in general, dramatic I know, but true! I also love the tassels and the drawstring detail, for me Narlaka has really nailed this piece.

We’ve got to talk about the top, this is certainly going to be a stable part of my summer wardrobe, it would look gorgeous with wide leg trousers or a high-waisted embroidered skirt (my two bottom halves of choice at the minute). The lace detailing, the off the shoulder style, what more is there to love? You are definitely going to see me wearing this top on Instagram in lots of different ways, over the next couple of months.

Really happy I discovered Narlaka and currently have this gorgeous and staple black wrap dress which will see you right through the summer on my wish list, along with this beaut of a play-suit of which I am completely obsessed with the unusual print. Oh and did I mention this item’s are so crazy affordable, and you guys know I love a bargain.

Spring is in the air with JORD

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

So excited and happy to be able to work with such a cool watch brand like JORD, they offer both women’s and men’s watches, and of course like the beautiful Frankie gold and ebony watch that I have, can be worth by either sexes. Before discovering JORD I had never seen a wooden watch, and I was certainly surprised how striking and pretty they are. You can really see the thought behind the design of each any every JORD watch.

I chose the Frankie in ebony and gold due to the minimalist look of the watch, I love the round dial and the gold details, it fits my style perfectly. What I also love about this unique watch is the colour of the wood, the dark ebony is really striking against the gold accents.

Another huge plus and the reason I choose this watch, was the oversized look of the Frankie range. I have always gravitated towards a more oversized masculine style watch, and this watch is perfect as a statement and contrast when paired with little floral summer dresses and skirts. Now we cannot ignore the beautiful packaging that this gorgeous watch arrives in, its very own beautiful wooden box, what more could you want!Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I am also really excited to offer you guys a chance to win $100 towards a watch of your choice (enter competition here). One of my lucky readers will win this prize. Even if you are not the lucky winner you will still receive a gift code worth $25 once the competition ends. This is too good to pass on, so make sure you don’t miss out. Also remember to follow me on instagram (@gracesurguy) for more pics of this gorgeous watch.

Fashion’s Feminist Revolution

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

There are two major things I am in love with at the minute, slogan t-shirts and of course pro-women slogan t-shirts. As a women I think it is so important to come together to support each other, whether we have been friends for years, or have never met. I wouldn’t say I am technically I feminist, but I love what this t-shirt represents, and for me that is strong women from all around the world, helping and supporting each other.

Then we have this shirt of dreams, pencil skirts are 100% me, I am a more curvy girl and they are perfect for my body shape. Although I do advocate dressing for your shape, I think it is more important to dress in what makes you happy and makes you feel good, and this skirt really does that for me. I love the almost 80’s style of the skirt with the big white buttons down the front. Plus I am crazy into slogan tee’s and dressy skirts at the minute, this is why this look is perfect for me.

Lastly we have these studded beauts, I’m not always a fan of ankle straps on my legs, but these are actually really flattering. The heel size is not too big which makes them great to wear on an everyday basis, plus they were really affordable (link down below), the perfect shoe!

Embroidered Jacket & Double Denim

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I am OBSESSED with this jacket, like seriously its gorgeous, it is going to be my staple denim jacket right through the spring/summer this year. This little beauty is from Missguided, it does keep selling out, but the guys at Missguided don’t miss a trick and keep re-stocking, so if you don’t see it on the link below keep checking because they will re-stock.

I wanted this jacket in a more over-sized style so opted for a size 10, and it fits exactly as I wanted it to. I am wearing it with a blue denim mini skirt from Topshop, although it is not exactly the same tone of denim as the jacket, I still love this double denim look. I am looking out for a denim skirt that is a slightly lighter blue, so they look more like a matching set.

Finally I am wearing my denim items with a very staple t-shirt from COS, a plain black leather waist belt from ASOS, my APC bag and of course my Doc Martens, which I could not live without, I love how they dress down any outfit. Really looking forward to wearing them with a little floral summer and black ankle socks, the perfect look for me.

Spring Florals & Flared Sleeves

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Meet one of the most beautiful dresses I own, the ‘Tash’ dress from my babes at Blush Clothing Playhouse (linked down below) is seriously amazing. I love the off the shoulder details and also the floral print is so delicate, perfect for the spring season. I actually have a christening next month, and this is definitely going to be the dress that I will wear then.

Not only is this dress beautiful its so crazy comfortable, the neckline is elasticated and so is the waist, so you can have it as high or low as you like. I’m really excited about changing it up a little and taking off the belt it comes with and wearing it with my belt Gucci waist belt. Make sure you check out Blush Clothing Playhouse, they offer some really gorgeous pieces, and are such amazing people, plus the international shipping costs are mega low, which is always a bonus.

Lastly these Missguided strappy sandal beauts, I swear these are going to be my most worn dressed-up shoes. They are so comfy and so stylish, and go with pretty much everything, and they are £20, what a bargain.

Red Trousers And My Love For Jhene Aiko

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I’m going to start with these trousers, who wouldn’t! They are red and fabulous! I actually have the same trousers in blue pinstripe, when Topshop bought them out earlier in the year. Then I saw them in red and I was hooked! The great thing about this pair is the price, they are only £25, which is really on the cheaper side for Topshop, not that I am going to complain! They are a slightly stretchy classic slim fit trouser, and I have them in a size 8 which fits fine, they are exactly what I wanted, well done Topshop.

Now, I have got to speak about my fan girl antics for Jhene Aiko, I love her, I’m not going to lie. Big statement, but she is definitely my favourite current hip hop/R&B female artist. My boyfriend knew how much I loved her, and bless him bought this from her official merchandise site, which is so crazy cute, he’s the best. I absolutely love a slogan t-shirt at the minute, and I love this even more because, if you know, you know…lol.

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

What outfit would be complete without the accessories? Certainly not this one, two of my absolute fav’s are these slip on black bow mules from Ego, and of course my Gucci belt. I’ve said it before but these shoes are crazy comfy and go with pretty much anything, absolutely loving Ego at the minute, an affordable shoes retailer that offer really cool styles.
