Conference Couture

In only two weeks I will be flying to Singapore (once again) for a Model united Nations conference! However, this one is very much a different scenario to the others as this one is The Hague International Model United Nations, which is probably one of the biggest in South East Asia! 
I honestly don't think I have ever been this excited! One of my favourite things about these conferences, besides being able to argue and debate, but dressing up in a professional manner.
Many of us are rarely able to dress up formally, so I am definitely excited about being able to wear some of my new purchases!
Here are some of my new dresses for the conference:





Both dresses are from Dorothy Perkins, I'm not sure why but the cut of the dresses in there seem to suit me well! The shoes are from New Look and the only accessory is my Tiffany open heart necklace, simple and classic. 
I'm so excited! Have you guys got any exciting events coming up soon?

Flirty Summer Dresses

 During my recent trip to Singapore I was fortunate to stumble across these great dresses in Dorothy Perkins.

 {I know the blue dress is quite formal but it would be perfect for any school Conferences that I attend. I was inspired by Kim Kardashian to try a dress with a flare which she often wears, simply because I have a curvaceous figure similar to hers!}
 {The shoes are from New Look}
{This dress is so flirty and fun; perfect for summer especially as it is cool to wear}

Do you have any thoughts on styling these dresses?

Millie Mackintosh for Lipsy's VIP Collection

I simply adore Miss Mackintosh on a whole and I was overjoyed when I realised that she was to be the face of Lipsy's VIP Collection! What better advertising to have than an actual VIP as the face of the collection!
According to Lipsy, the 17-piece collection has been designed to suit every figure and style whilst still reflecting the latest styles.

The images from the line are as below:

I completely adore all the styled outfits and love Millie, however I absolutely despise that pout she wears in every single photo. I can't stand it and am actually surprised that a Lipsy representative hadn't picked up on it sooner!

Whats great about this collection is that it is so classy yet everything is under £200 which is great!

Let me know some of your thoughts in the comment box below :)

Thai Designers Fashion Feature: Disaya

Disaya's latest pre-Spring/Summer 2013 collection is simply divine and her theme of 'Merry-Goes-Around' is really reflected in the designs. 



I love the flirty style of the dresses especially the colour scheme. The outfits are just so cute and perfect for everyday!
Once again, the simplicity of the designs and the little details have created a collection that should be in the next W (hopefully we'll see this in soon)!


I am sorry to say that this will be my last featured Thai designer!

Thai Designers Fashion Feature: Thakoon

Thakoon Panichgul is one of the most famous Thai designers. Having moved to the USA at the age of eleven he was exposed to a wide variety of designs. He attended and graduated from Parsons School of Design and in 2004 he produced his first ready-to-wear collection.

His latest Resort 2013 collection entwines feminity and striking designs to create a fun and flirty collection that can be worn by almost anyone!




A common trend amongst all his pieces is how simple they are but with the right material, the designs come to life.
The numerous amounts of dresses really add to the feminity as does the frequented V-neck designs.




There is a frequented use of vertical stripes which adds another dimension to the simple designs.

One thing which is relatively obvious is the lack of tight fitting outfits. This is unusual as recently there has been a prominent trend of skin tight lycra clothing.

Overall, Thakoon's latest collection is a breath of fresh air providing women all over the world with the opportunity to dress in florals and pastels.
Thakoon's simple yet elegant and sophisticated collection is a must see for everyone. 
His designs are timelessly feminine and as romantic and sensual as they are modern and innovative.

Outfit of the Day: Styled Maxi Dress

I am completely obsessed with Maxi-dresses for summer! I love how cool (literally!) they are. Beach holidays are great, although I do tire of that near constant trickle of sweat down your back. I love this maxi dress in particular because of the material it is made from; cheesecake linen. It isn't clingy and has quite a low back which once again adds to the cooling affect. 

I often style my maxi dresses as I hate having my shoulders uncovered! As a result, I often wear a sheer crop top over them so I feel slightly more decent!

I bought the maxi-dress in a little shop in Manchester called 'Shout!' but it has been renamed to 'Urban Edge'. The sheer crop top is from Forever 21. If you want to see a close up of the top, check out my new purchase post linked below.





This is just a brief look at the maxi dress without the crop top to show the style and design. 

It's summer, that calls for a wardrobe update - fancy any of these summer dresses anyone?

Festival Fashion Style Idol: Millie Mackintosh

Made in Chelsea is one of my favourite shows and Millie Mackintosh is definitely my favourite character! 
I absolutely adore everything she does and love her fashion sense. Recently, the tabloids have been full of her festival exploits and her outfits of choice, I decided to compile a post which includes my favourite festival looks of hers. 
*Note* Not all outfits are from 2012*



Making dressing for downpours and mud-soaked fields look like a walk in the park, Millie has nailed festival style. 

Key to her look? Non-try-hard pieces like denim shorts and classic Hunter wellies – with a little bit of Chelsea bling in the form of silver studs – and the finishing touch, an amazing statement jacket. What, no cag in a bag? As if!


Here, Millie completely embodies rocker festival chic with a teeny tiny pair of denim shorts, a purple gilet, aviator sunglasses, studded hunter wellies and a trilby hat.

Outfit of the Day: Mountain Fashion

I do apologise that I have been unable to post many outfit of the days with me in the image, but I promise to post more this holiday!
Here is my outfit for today, I am wearing a maxi dress with a loose over shirt. 


The shirt is from Forever 21 and the maxi dress is from Shout!.
The shirt is so light and airy even though it is long sleeved and the maxi dress, although it is elasticated lycra,is really cooling and floaty; altogether the ideal summer outfit!
