Talking Trends - BEANIES

The beanie trend is by far one of my favourites from 2013 so far, I love how it brings an urban edge to any outfit. Whether it be a statement rapper beanie or a pretty pastel one you can find a beanie to suit any outfit.

PLAIN
Use a plain beanie to either tone down an outfit or just compliment an already chilled outfit.

NEON
Neon beanies are a great way to add a pop of colour to monochrome outfit and are also great for summer/festivals.

PASTEL
A pastel beanie is a great way to make the trend more girly by wearing one with a pretty summer dress and sandals.

MTV Video Music Awards 2013

I woke up this morning ready to look through all the amazing dresses from the MTV VMA's and right a blog post about my favourites. Well it was hard enough to find anything I even liked! I was so underwhelmed by all the outfits however I did manage to find one I liked...

Naya Rivera in vintage Paco Rabanne
For a start I just love Naya Rivera. Secondly I love her even more for going out with big sean and now I love her even more for saving the red carpet from being a disaster. This black floor length gown fits her like a glove and the cut-outs (a big trend from last season) make the dress much more sexy, in turn making it much more Naya! I like the very minimal accessories and smoky eye as they complete the whole look making it very put together and polished.  
 

Naya and Big Sean at VMA's and Teen Chocie Awards
I was also a massive fan of her teen choice award outfit especially the pop of colour with the shoes!

Monthly Style Steal - AUGUST

Missguided dress - buy here (and more photos)
Augusts' Style Steal is this super cute girly dress from missguided.co.uk. I have been loving this style of dress at the moment because I think the shapeless, boxy cut is balanced out by the super short length. At £19.99 I think its a pretty good deal especially with their current 10% off promotion,  as this kind of thing in Topshop would be nearing the £50 mark. For a casual look add a slouchy oversized cardigan or jumper like this one and wear with converse like these. Or dress it up with healed boots like these and and a necklace like this (what a long pendant chain will do is weigh down the dress bringing it into your body so that it is more flattering).

V FESTIVAL 2013



This past weekend I headed to Weston park in Stafford for V festival 2013! I travelled down on Friday with a big group of friends to set up camp before the music began on Saturday. I got to see lots of my favourite artists as well as some bands that I only knew a few songs but enjoyed their performance way more than I expected.
 
 
High lights have got to be Calvin Harris and Kendrick Lamar as well as The Script who although are not one of my favourite bands put on an incredible performance and really worked the crowd. In the middle of their set Danny asked the crowd if anyone had an idiot ex boyfriend and then called him live on stage on the girls phone , sang 'nothing' (a break up song) and proceeded to get the whole crowd to shout 'good bye asshole to him' .. what a legend .. it was hilarious. (videos of it that I found on YouTube below)

 
 
I also loved the vaccines, scouting for girls and many others. BeyoncĂ© was actually slightly disappointing because she was 20 minutes late,I was very squished in the crowd and I didn't love her set list however it was still amazing to see her and a lot of her performance was great.

It was such an amazing weekend and I have definitely got the festival buzz!
