Summer Look Book


Hello! Welcome back and I really hope you enjoy this post as it is out of my comfort zone, but I really would like to explore more into fashion. I personally love having an insight into people’s styles and looking at the different outfits they put together and it really inspires me. Two trends I have really enjoyed experimenting with and styling are crop tops and monochrome. Zoeey Deschanel really stands out for me as she is always in keeping with a feminine yet modern style which is also similar to Zoella who keeps things very cute and classic but has great pops of colour, making her truly stand out. Another YouTuber that inspires me is Clothes Encounters as she is just so daring with all her outfits and really knows how to experiment. Now, here is my style so enjoy!


Top - New Look
Shorts - River Island
Flip Flops - Accessorise
Bag - Primark
Necklace - Gift
The first outfit is very simple but I think very cute, the two clashing patterns of the crop top and bag work really nicely together and I feel that the bleached shorts bring it all together. I have accessorised with a simple necklace given to me as a gift from my friend, it’s a little message in a bottle which says ‘all you need is love, trust and fairy dust’. I think it’s a really cute outfit which is perfect for the beach or one of those rare sunny days during the English summer.


Dress - H&M
Belt - Forever21
Bag - Boutique
Shoes - Primark
Earrings - River Island
My second outfit features monochrome and how I prefer to style it, with a dash of colour. I chose the daisy earrings to give it a more summery feel as well as the bag I chose which uses a hessian material. I also wanted to keep it light and feminine so I chose to use a coral belt with a bow to make the dress more interesting. The dress also works well with tights on colder days and I would like to perhaps use some neon’s to make the outfit more exciting.

                          

Bag - Boutique
Top - New Look
Skirt - Topshop
Earrings - Forever 21
Sunglasses - New Look
Shoes - H&M

Number three! When I went shopping I had decided to choose something bright and bold, different to what I would usually pick up. So when I saw the top in new look with the bright pink flowers I knew I needed to add it into my wardrobe for summer. I am also a big fan of the skater skirt; it’s a great staple to have in your wardrobe and flatters pretty much all figures.

                         

Dress - Forever21
Necklace - Forever 21
Sunglasses - New Look
Shoes - New Look

 
The final outfit is my personal favourite, especially pairing the dress with a statement necklace. I love big necklaces and dressing up, by pairing it with makes me feel so much more confident as I am only 5,4 I do enjoy the extra height.  You could always dress it down and wear flats but I really enjoy making it more formal.

I hope you had the time of your life


Hello! I apologize again for my awful blogging skills as I never stick to a schedule, but whilst I have been on holiday I have been working on lots of new posts for you all to enjoy! Sadly I didn’t have the wonderful invention of the internet while I was away so I was unable to upload. I have been experimenting with things like fashion and book reviews so look forward to that!

The quote I have chosen is from a green day song called ‘Good Riddance’. It made me think about summer and what it means to me, I really just want to have as much fun as I possibly can. As I only have one year left at school with my beautiful and crazy friends I want to document each moment. So, I have decided to take my camera with me whenever I am doing something exciting and at the end of summer get them developed.  Then I can make up a little scrapbook and look over them and just remember all the amazing times I have had.

Summer is my favourite time of the year other than Christmas but summer is just so easy and you have no stress because school is gone! Plus after the past few months I have been through I need a stress free and fun summer. Also the lie-ins have to be one of the nicest parts, catching up on some well-deserved rest. The only thing I am failing to find is my summer song, I have listened to the radio a lot recently but I can’t seem to find it.

  So what are your summer plans? Long lazy days doing nothing but chilling? Or going out with friends? I like to have a mixture personally, let me know in the comments below! Hope you’re having an amazing summer I shall be back soon, Love Phoebe Eve <3

Guess who's back?


Hello, I know it has been a rather long time and there is no excuse as I do love writing these blogs but I have been so busy! But good news is that I am starting to achieve the goals I set myself in my ‘The Future’ post, so that is brilliant news. I have had a few struggles over the past few weeks but I have learnt they will only make you stronger as a person, so I have held my head high.

  I have actually started to go out of my comfort zone, clothes wise, so I have started buying crop tops which for me is actually rather scary. I have never been happy with my stomach so wearing a crop top was a bit odd but wearing it with high waisted things such as skater skirts and high waisted shorts they can look really nice. So I was thinking why don’t I start doing some fashion blogs? Just simple outfit of the days and saying where I got things from, I have just started to find my true style and from inspirations such as Zoella, Zooey Dechanel and Emma Watson. I have a massive love for all things girly and feminine but I also love the edgy look too so I have been trying to mix them together. Maybe I haven’t been doing this successfully but I like to think I am finally finding my own style, but I am still a sucker for a good dress and heels.
  What I am trying to say is that I will still continue writing about how quotes inspire me and all the different things I enjoy but I want to perhaps add fashion into this too! Plus I know on YouTube tag videos are constantly going around, so I was thinking of doing some of them on here too so you can learn a bit more about me really. Have a wonderful day enjoy the sunshine and I shall be back with a more fashion or personal post in a few days! Love Phoebe Eve <3
