The Gilet Edit

Hi all!

I posted this outfit yesterday on my Instagram. 

I am styling this gilet that I bought last year from Zara. 

I decided to get this back out of my wardrobe this year for A/W as I have seen so many nice ones on the high street recently! So I thought I would do a blog post for you with some of my favourites.

5 ways to wear slouchy jeans

Hi all!

I recently launched a new styling Instagram, somewhere that I can post outfits and all my styling tips. Since I have a degree in styling, I wanted somewhere that I can be creative and maybe help other girls by giving them ideas of how and what to wear!

I am going to try and post some of my fashion content on here too just to mix things up!

This is 5 WAYS TO WEAR - Slouchy Jeans from Stradvarius 

Everything is tagged on my Instagram so head over there to find out what I am wearing is from. Some of what I am wearing is older product which you may not be able to find anymore but I wanted to also show ways that you can reuse items you have in your wardrobe, so that you are not splashing out all the time.

If you search the #styledbylsh you will see a feed of all my outfits

Enjoy!

A day trip to Brighton

Hi!

Last weekend I visited my university friend Jess down south and we decided to take a day trip to Brighton. I love Brighton, it is one of my favourite places in the UK and is basically London by the sea. We enjoyed some yummy ice-cream on the sea front and then went for an exciting adventure to the new British Airways i360.

britishairwaysi360.com

If you haven't yet heard about the i360 then I definitely recommend you take a trip to Brighton to experience it. The i360 is a 162-metre observation tower on the seafront, opposite what is left of the West Pier. Up there you can see the South Coast and a great view of Brighton, of course.

It cost us around £12.50 (this was student price) for our ticket and you get around half an hour but this is including actually getting into the pod, going up, staying up to admire the views and then coming back down. The only negative I have is that you aren't actually up there at a standstill long enough, I'd say you get around 10 minutes actually up there to get a few photographs and walk around the pod to view each side but you do feel rushed. It was a cool experience though and the views are very beautiful, it definitely made our day more memorable. 

We then headed to the North Lanes where you will find some really cute and quirky shops as well as many Vegan options. We stopped off at a small Cornish pasty cafe where we enjoyed a pasty and a nice warm mug of tea, we sat on the little benches outside the shop and did some people watching. You will find there are a lot of students around so there is a great variety of people and styles. I felt very inspired after because there were some really stylish people. 

After we had a look round some of the shops we headed into the city centre to have a look in some shops, there is a huge Bershka in the Churchill Square shopping centre and I so regret not buying the puffer jacket I tried on haha!

As it was a Sunday the shops shut quite early so we went and sat on the seafront before going and enjoying a Sunday roast in just your average Yates. Although I will say, even though it wasn't anywhere fancy it was super delicious and only £6.95 for a roast dinner and free desert - cheap and cheerful. 

It was a great day out, if you haven't been to Brighton before then you need to go. A great mix of city vibes and beach fun. 

I am wearing 

- Pink love heart puffer jacket from Lazy Oaf

- Pink fluffy top from Missguided but I bought it off Depop

- Black cullottes from H&M

- Mini Backpack from Boohoo

- Nike Air Max 2015 trainers

Fantastic Gentleman

So I wanted to share with you a recent and favourite photo shoot I did in my first semester of third year, this was a menswear brief based on the magazine Fantastic Man. We had to choose a new and upcoming designer or brand which is 5 years old or less and create an advertorial for this brand which initially would be published in Fantastic Man. I chose a UK designer called Nasir Mazhar, the reason I chose this designer is because he has quite a sporty aesthetic within his designs such as tracksuits, box peak caps, trainers etc. I really liked that he is also influenced by the UK grime music scene and artists such as Skepta have worked along side him to create soundtracks for his catwalk shows but has also walked in his shows. I felt that his designs were very much what I am into to and I could relate to him in many ways, I knew by choosing him as my designer that I would enjoy learning about his influences and his designs, I would say this has been my favourite brief and photo shoot of my whole three years of studying. I named my advertorial 'Fantastic Gentleman' as throughout the images he is seen doing gentlemanly things such as holding the door open, choosing flowers and so on. I love the contrast of the sportswear/streetwear with the sophisticated locations.

FISHERGATE FACE OFF

I wanted to share with you a very recent LIVE brief I am currently a part of at university, as some of you may already know, I am a final year student studying at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) and I am studying Fashion Promotion with Styling.

Every year the course does a Fashion Show module, for the last 2 years this brief has been a LIVE brief, working with a local Shopping Centre called Fishergate.

This year the show is called 'Fishergate Face Off', as well as the show we are also holding a MODEL COMPETITION in association with Boss Model Management. The models will get the opportunity to win a modelling contract with the agency, on the day we will have a panel of judges making the decision but we have also set up a voting page for the models for people to cast their vote for their favourite model.

VOTE HERE: https://www.facebook.com/Fishergate-Face-Off-1506684949646340/?fref=ts

Each of us in the class were given a role which we each had to create a proposal for, the tutors then assigned people with their roles based on our proposal's. I chose the Music Producer role, and guess what, I won it! Again, as some of you may know I absolutely love music, so to be able to combine my two favourite things - music and fashion, I was over the moon.

I feel it hasn't been particularly stressful for me, I have absolutely loved every minute of it, what better way to spend your day than searching for tracks that the audience will absolutely love. I feel I have chosen a great track list and I cannot wait to play it at the show.

I am not going to reveal the track list before the show as I obviously want to keep it a secret until tomorrow, but I will happily share it after. I will be continuing on from this post with images of the day and also the tracks which some of you may not of ever heard before - it's always exciting hearing a new song. Well it is to me anyway ha ha.

We have numerous exciting things going on, with local companies also bringing along drinks, food, as well as other bits and bobs. It will be a great evening - and why not get involved with

our raffle too. There is plenty going on and it is all for free!

So join us tomorrow, 6:30pm at Fishergate Shopping Centre - Preston, for an evening of fun!



All I Want For Christmas Is BABY-G

These fun and cheeky images have been created by scene-stealing queen from Made in Chelsea, Phoebe Lettice, and Vice Fashion Editor and stylist-to-the-stars Kylie Griffiths to celebrate BABY-G's festive season, as the original Pretty Tough Girls, they have worked together to create a series of images to celebrate the bright and colourful watches.

 The images tell a story of a BABY-G Christmas morning, exploring the kitsch, girly side of the brand but also brings to life BABY-G's Pretty Tough ethos which celebrates young, creative, successful and trailblazing females.

I absolutely love these images, they are bright and playful, the styling is a great reflection of Kylie's style. I've always loved Phoebe's work and these images are everything BABY-G stands for. It is a really nice way of showing how their type of customer would wear and style the watches. - I think I will definitely be putting one of these watches on my Christmas list!

I love the 90's feel to this brand and the range of colours they have to offer, I've always been a fan of Casio and would not buy any other brand - only the cool kids where Casio watches! BABY-G put their own colourful, fun and quirky style into the designs, creating the perfect wrist accessory.





As one of the most iconic style statements of the 90s, the Jelly pack is available now in an updated design and brand new colourways retailing at £65-£70. The Sneaker pack also features in the imagery; their chunky, bold, casual style with a 3-dimensional face, it’s the BABY-G that adds colour pop to everyone’s Christmas wardrobe retailing at £100. And finally the classic Retro Square with a brand new 2015 make-over. The face has been updated this series in fresh new colours with contrasting bumper bars retailing at £70.
