Accessorise your look with the latest Neo Leo trend

One of the hottest trends amongst the fash pack at the moment is the Neo Leo (Neon and leopard print).  It's a bit of a bold statement wearing the two together in an entire outfit, so if you fancy giving the look a go but aren't quite brave enough to go full steam ahead, why not try pairing some of these high street accessories together for a more subtle nod to the trend.

ASOS Jewellery

I love it when the doorbell rings and it's a delivery driver with a parcel, there's nothing better than opening the box to see what's inside.

Today's parcel had some jewellery pieces that I recently ordered from ASOS, which included a Maria Francesca Pepe style rose gold double spike bracelet and a Kourtney Kardashian inspired gold cross necklace which I have been admiring on the new series of Keeping up with the Kardashian's.

I also had a little buddy helping me with today's blog post!

1940's Bomb Girls Fashion

After being addicted to ITV3's Bomb Girls series about munition factory girl workers in the 1940's, I'm hooked on pin curls, floral tea dresses and red lips.

I've always been a fan of the style from that era and it's definitely a time I would have loved to have been around for.

Luckily for me, with Blitz parties and the like making a huge comeback I can easily be transported back in time and websites such as pinupgirlclothing are the ideal place to pick up vintage inspired replicas to complete your look.

Isla Fisher at the Golden Globes

Every where today is awash with Golden Globes news and fashion highlights so as the saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them!

To be honest, I can't say that I was overly impressed with the gowns at lasts nights award ceremony.  There seems to be so many events like this that I'm starting to feel like we've seen it all before.  But that being said, I was most definitely a fan of the Reem Acra dress Isla Fisher donned.  Her whole looked oozed old school Hollywood glamour, which in my opinion you can't go wrong with at ceremonies such as these.

New Year, New Shoes!

As it's a new year I decided to treat myself to some new shoes and being 5ft10" whenever I see mid-low heeled shoes I just have to have them!  I also treated myself to a pair of flats as they were only a fiver I couldn't resist!

Monochrome H&M Dress

In exactly two weeks today I'll be entering into my dirty thirties and to say I'm dreading it would be an understatement.  My plan is to be inebriated throughout most of the celebrations to make the transition that much easier.

Of course to mark such an occasion I need an outfit that screams style and effortless sophistication or maybe just something that looks good and is comfortable (showing my age already).  And I think with my latest purchase from H&M I might have just about managed to tick off all four requirements.

The striped monochrome dress fits like a glove and the clever design of vertical stripes on your bottom half and cinched in waist effect are very forgiving indeed.

Topshop's Knitted Necklace Collar Jumper

Does anyone else ever see something they really like in a shop and then stupidly decide not to buy it but go back to get it at a later date and it's no longer there?  Or is it just me?

This is exactly what happened recently when I tried to get myself one of Topshop's knitted necklace collar jumpers that I'd been admiring for weeks.  If you find yourself in the same situation then don't despair as eBay could be your savoir like it was for me, allowing me to pick up the exact jumper I wanted at a fraction of the price.
