Wear a Crown, you deserve it

One of my favorite ways to accessories these days, is one hundred percent wearing a headband. They are so in and cute. Add a little something to any outfit and make you look like you are wearing your own crown.
I have been experimenting with a lot of different styles and thought I would show you some of my favorite once.

3 WAYS JOURNALING HELPED MY LIFE

Hello lovelies.
If you are new to the world of journaling I will explain in a short cut what it is and why I decided to give it a go. It is a combination of keeping a diary and everyday organizational journal. It is a way to keep yourself organized, less stressed, creative, tracking your habits and day to day activities. You could use it to store some memories from traveling, organize your taxes and payments or even just to doodle. The range of options is huge!

Sweater Weather

Since I created this blog 10 years ago most of the years as soon as leaves turned into warm brown and orange I wrote this post. It has been a few years since sweater weather TAG or challenge has been created. I don' t think anyone knows at this point, who really was the original head behind this.
For those who never heard of the tag, its a few questions related to autumn and you answer them as best as you can. Real simple and personally this has always put me in a nice mood as my candle burns and rain drops fall.

Autumnal Inspiration

There are many sources for my inspiration. From influencers online to people watching while having a cup of coffee. Every now and again I like to share some of these with you all. See where my head is at i guess or what makes me go or perhaps what helps me when shopping.

Lady Crushing

Hi there beautiful faces. Hope your weekend is going well so far. I mean you made it through monday and found time to come round to my blog to have a little read so it must be a pretty good one haha. 

As usual I was browsing internet, tumblr to be exact, and I came across a photo of this stunning lady. Curly afro hair in unusual blonde, face features I am well jealous of and style that already inspired me. So naturally I had to rush over here and share her with youse. I might be crushing a bit haha.

Let me introduce you to Kassala Holdsclaw.

Flowers, Adulting and Stripes

It is hard to be an adult sometimes. We all know that. And you can´t always have it together can you?! I don´t think it is possible. Lately I tried to look like I am totally okay and have my ish together but....

If I enjoy something, if I love doing something and get the chance to do it- like my new job barbering- I just go all in. Means I´d be there everyday, all day. Might seem okay but it did drain me after a while. And if you are the same type as me- it is okay to admit you need a little time off. Even if it is just an hour. An hour for yourself. Sit, have a cuppa, food, catch up with friends. I guess we actually need that bit of time not to go insane.

Per usual I just go for walk with someone calming. Somewhere I can just breath and put my mind together. 

For all that you wanna look on point! haha no I am just messing. It is good to look good. I preffered lately to just be myself, wear what I want and look good for myself. Not trying for anyone. Not wanting to impress anyone but myself. Which really helps against the extra pressure since you are already kind of freaking out.

My outfit consists of a lot of my newest loves and obsessions. The bag is quick but great purchase from H&M, shirt H&M as well and I absolutely love it. Was less then 5 quid which is awesome and already wore it loads. Shorts used to be my fave jeans from Primark now they are my fave shorts. Sunnies are everyones fav Primaerk rose golds. Sweater to cover all fat lumbs haha is H&M. Shoes Deichmann decorated by lacey socks from MATALAN.
I´m freaking cool I know haha. Jokes.

Oh and don´t forget about the half up hairstyle so it seems like you tried even though you are just trying to mask that grease from two days ago. And don´t tell anyone but those sunnies are okay to be worn even without the sun out. You are a mess. Everyone is a mess. We all cover it. Haha. Just remember to love the mess you are.

If you want to see more of me on more regular bases add me on snapchat. Its denivev obviously ;) xx
Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest.

Let´s swap

You know when you find someone, online or in real life, and you feel like oh my god! Your style!!! Let´s swap our closets, lives or whatever. In love with what you doing here.
Well I found Audrey Lombard on instagram and she is amazing! She wears exactly what I wish I had in my closet. Like every single day. I mean just look....

 Right?! Absolutely amazing. Stylish, classy and still so original. She works it ahha.
All pictures are from her insta so make sure you check it out. But careful... it is addictive. I have warned you! ;)

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

One of the first things you learn the moment you enter my life is, I take photos of everything, everywhere and at any time. Simply me! So no wonder I take photos of my outfits - the "classy" way- in mirrors, pretty often. Until very recently I had no idea why I am doing this. I only had a little voice inside my head telling me to do so. But after I read a blog post by Rebecca or AClothesHorse about 6 ways blogging changed her style, I realized I can actually learn so much from the photos I take all the time. I could actually get to know myself a bit more. 

Now I am a 19 year old, soon to be 20 and going through that time where I feel like I am exactly where I wanna be but still questioning my life choices. I am sure I am only about to find my style. We both, you and me, seen me change from one style to other multiple times. There is no chance that this will stop any time soon. So the thought of documenting my every day apparel and seeing the differences, the styles, the cuts, colors or trends I go through could actually be educational or helpful in a way.  Don´t you think so? So then when I am let´s say 21 and having no clue what I am going to do with my life I might actually have one stable thing! I´ll have my style! I´ll eventually find me! 

What do you think? Is it a good idea to keep documenting my outfits and seeing how I change and possibly one day learning from it? Have you ever thought of doing something similar?
Let me know!
Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest.

Isn´t it all so lovely?!

Now here is a thing I knew for a while now and Estee Lalonde has confirmed it to me in one of her latest videos on youtube that, If you want to find your style and image one of the best and easiest ways to do it is finding photos. Looking at blogs, pinterest, tumblr, instagram even. Seeing what others wear and adapting it to your wardrobe. Find similar pieces in your closet as you see on others. Have basic pieces and add something that will eventually become your new and real you.

Reason I am writing all of it is, that I have been looking for outfits this way since I was probably 11 but it is only recently I realized it actually influences my style.

Style Crush : WishWishWish

I am reading a lot of blogs! That is pretty usual statement. I am sure I wrote it million times before. But there are only a few blogs I keep going back to. Only a few ladies I kept keeping up with as I was growing up and getting older. Or as I was becoming a woman like them, I may say.
One of them is actually my style crush. Big one! Carrie from Wish Wish Wish! 

First thing I loved about her and her style back in a day was that retro feel. She would dress up in 50´s or 70´s style. Wear amazing vintage pieces. Hair Ups, crazy original shoes... Really unique in the world of blogging. Lately she has been changing slightly but she sure kept that little something of hers that still makes her stick outside the crowd.

 Is it only me or do you also see those similarities in our style, ahha. Yeah I do get inspired by Carrie but hey, this is a post about my style crush after all.

And did I mention her perfect eyeliner? After a while of studying her make-up looks I decided to master my eyeliner and to be honest I think I´m doing pretty good now ahah.

 Did you notice them kitty flats?! Remember the once I used to have? Yea, you guest it, this is where my love for them came from. No don´t get me wrong, I wasn´t copying or anything, it is just that I found a few bloggers or celebrities whose style I like and redid it to fit me, my lifestyle and figure. That is how you can find your own style after all.
Oh and it might seem from photos I have chosen -all of them are from Carries blog- that she only wears neutrals. Not true! She knows how to do color-unlike me. I guess it is time to get inspired from her more colorful looks then.
What do you think about Carrie? Have you ever read her blog? If not, what are you waiting for? It really is worth checking. Plus she will give you the biggest urge to travel! Trust me. It is kinda dangerous ahah.

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest.

Insta of the Week: Kenza Zouiten

I love Kenzas style! She is a beautiful woman with obviously pretty creative mind and you can so clearly see it on her outfits.
I mean just look at it...

My Picks from TCA 2015

Teen Choice Awards is a huge award ceremony in the eyes of all of us for years now and I feel like every proper fashion blogger mentions this ceremony every single year. So I thought I´ll do so myself.
Not only that I was happy about winners for example Demi Lovato, Bethany Mota, traditionally One Direction..... Some celebrities and artists made me pretty damn happy with the choice of their outfits. And as you can see I have a thing for bodycone type dress, suits and pointy shoes. Oh well.....

Amor Doll in White

I talked about Amor Stylez loads before. Now today I am not here to do much talking. Instead I will show you how I would style their NEW arrival -White All Over Me- that is actually already SOLD OUT! Don´t worry, I´ll try to make Amor Stylez put them back on sale ;)
What I love about this number is the endless ways you can style it. And you can wear it for almost any occasion, which is always a bonus, right?

Wednesday Inspiration

You know me! I like to get a little inspo for myself in the middle of the week to keep moving and stay alive for next few days till weekend. And as a little tradition I share them here with you too. So I hope you´ll enjoy.

Style Crush Friday: Fashion Bananas

I have been reading random peoples blogs ever since I was 10-11 and could understand what they are writing about. One of the first blogs I got obsessed with was Fashion Bananas by Delmy . Years ago I even did a quick interview with her but it got lost which I am really sad about.

#COStyle 2014

In a short-cut, Celebration of Style is a three day festival of style taking place in venues across Liverpool bringing together some of the style influences from the fashion, art and photography world, including Matthew Williamson himself. 

I have been lucky enough to take part at this style event on Thursday and Friday (13th and 14th of November) and I had loads of fun. I went (as always) with my fashion partner in crime Frances. We started with a launch party on Thursday night that was taking place at one of my favourite art stores in Liverpool Nook and Cranny on Bold street. Here we had a chance to see some of the work from new art and fashion talents as Wicker Wings, Sarah Rafferty and a few more. The atmosphere was great as there were loads of other bloggers, journalists and other arty or fashion-y people. It was all a great change after my lonely evenings at home and wearing a fancy clothes instead of PJs was a great feeling as well. 

 And then on Friday we went for an Influence of Style expo where you had a chance to take part at seminar talks and then browse through exhibition of some great brands and stores as Nook and Cranny, The Leather Satchel co, Illamasqua, MATALAN, The Body Shop and many many more. It was great chance to see a few of the best pieces from brands, stores and we also had a chance to get our hair or make-up done by professionals who even gave you a few tips on what and how to do. 

I tried my FIRST cake pop, we had our portraits done by lovely Rheannon Ormond from Nook and Cranny, we chatted with some lovely people from MATALA about their Alphabet Scarves for Alder Hey Charity support and took a scarfie selfie. After that we used a opportunity to get our make-up done by Benefit makeup artists. I personally talked with my "make-up lady" about every single product she used on me and she had a few great recommends for me (make-up and carrier wise) which I am super grateful for. Oh and the best part was probably when I stood a few meters from Matthew Williamson. Even seeing such big person from fashion industry in person was surreal and then seeing how down to earth he is.... oh wow. 

 Over all I had a great time meeting new bloggers and people from the industry I adore the most (art and fashion). We did have some troubles getting to the Fridays exhibition and finding it, but I guess it was our own lack of luck. 

As last I´d like to thank Frances and the whole COStyle team for making these two days of my life so nice and for giving me a goody bag :) . 

Until next time keep safe and live your life to the fullest loves!

XoXo
