LFW Adventures!!

Hello everyone!
 

 
 
Sorry again for the lack of posts, I'm just one of those people that cannot multitask to save their lives. Basically when I'm busy trying to be cool and hold back the riot that is me blogging is just not on the radar! However better late than never, myself and a friend of mine were lucky enough to head down to LANDAN to check out LFW. This was a first for me and excited was an understatement. Due to me only taking a small case packing outfits was a struggle to say the least so my outfits weren't exactly wow but boy did others not take their A game. I was completely overwhelmed by the street styling that was shown, I swear us British lot know our style. So once we were there we registered our passes and checked out the Ready to Wear exhibitions, designer look books and got to speak to the staff behind the big names. Honestly I felt so lucky. Plus I took a few cheeky snaps of all the amazing scenes around me. So instead of me blabbing on I'll just leave you guys with some pics :). Oh if you're thinking of heading down BRING FOOD, I literally had no time to eat and hot chocolate was my saviour haha. Plus bring a big jacket even if it means wearing 700000x layers on the flight home, oopsies.
 
See you all soon

Mono-to-the-Chrome

Hello everyone!
 
 
 
literally scrabbling to put this post up before I leave to work, which is my new life now. All I am doing is working at the moment and to whoever works in retail with me also will understand my pain. Nothing more soul destroying than spending half an hour tidying a sale rale to leave for 5 minutes as the fitting room rail is HUGE, to return to what can only be described as mass destruction.
 
I finish at 8.30 tonight, I know puke, so have made a plan to head to a new Italian in Union Square with my buddy to help me survive this shift. Actually cannot wait I love Italian food. So this outfit was an amusing one, I take all my photos in my back garden so I can hide from the world and good job too as this shirt, cough, dress was just a tad too short. However having the neighbours that I do they 'suddenly' have a desparate urge to do washing, gardening, laps, sunbathe (even if raining). Its highly embrassing, especially as it was windy that day and oh they got more than they bargained for.
 
 
 
 
 
I'm mostly likely going to be a nudist when I'm 70 so I might as well start now anyways. Right moving from this weird rant, I am absolutely digging monochrome it is the easiest thing to wear and can adapt to all occasion casual or if you need to go out and you always look smart. I do love my colour as you probably know but sometimes you just want to look good without trying too hard.  This blazer is one of my favourites because its very cleverly tailored so I look slim, oh yeaaaah. I got it as part of my 21st and its MINE FOREVER. This shirt is great too, thankfully I'm only 5ft and Imma say 1.  So I can technically get off with it, but I will most likely get arrested, worth it.
 
 
 
Blazer: Topshop £55
Shirt: Missguided £19.99
Shirt, underneath: Topshop £32
Shoes: Zara £65
Bag: Zara £39.99
Sunglasses: Next £16
 
 
I need another placement so badly so I have been applying like CRAZY! I love working...just not in retail 5 years is enough for me. I have also been doing a few free lance styling in Aberdeen recently so as soon as I get the shots I'll post them on here for you :).
 
Hope you have a great week guys.
 
See yous

Looking Like An Extra From the Jungle Book

Hello everyone!
 
 
 
Hope everything is going really good with all of you, sorry again for being stupidly slow on keeping you guys up to date. I guess its just blogger takes so long for just one blogpost. Honestly if you want to keep more updated and faster its much better on instagram mines is chloejade_28.
 
I have accepted I will not be the 3x a week blogger, those bloggers are Gods, how they do it I have no idea! Never mind the ones that do it everyday. Jeeeez.
 
 
 
 
This post may have to be a quick one as I have an early shoot I am styling tomorrow and I still haven't decided outfits. Organisation is not my strongest point haha. So this outfit is another Missguided number, its the stuff I bought with the £50 I won. The jacket for a start is VERY loud. Its one of those love it or avoid it ones. Even I struggle to wear it, especially in Aberdeen. You get a lot of funny looks for maybe branching out of the colours black, white or our infamous grey. The quality of the fabric on this blazer is amazeballs and it fits perfectly round my shoulders too which is rare as I'm petite, (dwarf), especially on my top half. It is extremely summery but I think I would still wear it in winter and probably just be a bit crazy and put fur with it too!
 
 
 
 
Blazer: Missguided £34.99
Dress: Missguided £19.99
Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters £16
Sandals: River Island
Bag: H&M £14.99
Necklaces: Topshop £14 (both)
 
The dress I can't even explain, my addiction to neon needs to stop, I don't even like it anymore ahaha. I feel like a magpie to it now! Help.Me. But it is a great shape, especially if you're feeling like a whale, IT HIDES EVERYTHING.
 
 
I'm still loving my pink hair, Its about as daring as it gets for me when it comes to hair. I've starting getting super excited about LFW. Outfits are already getting planned but I'm planning on packing super light so I need to be SAVVY!
 
Hope next week is even better for you guys!
 
See you.

Florals For Summer...Groundbreaking

Hello all!
 
 
How have you all been this past week? Hopefully its been a good one. So basically I've had yet another mad week, I won the Missguided #iammissguided competition SO over the moon it was unreal. Plus I got a cheeky £50 voucher to spend and I will have to let you all know what pretty things I got. So because of that I've decided to dedicate this look to Missguided as everything I'm wearing is more or less from there. Also if you voting for me in the competition THANK YOU x1000000, it was so flattering.
 
 
 
But enough rambling on, I have planned myself a rather busy month, good one Chloe, I love being lazy. hopefully I will be back working with my previous placement for 3 weeks before their big collection reveal on 6th of September down at the Lighthouse in Glasgow, defo come if you can make it! Plus say hi if you see me :).
 
 
 
 
Plus I am planning on going down to LFW to represent them and have a wee nosy at all the exciting things that are happening around that time. Don't talk to me about outfits as I have nooooooo clue. Normally I plan these things but I can tell this year it will be a mad dash.
PLUS I also have a possible new adventure coming up but its still in the pipeline so I'll have to wait first. So yeah, Aug/Sept will be busy haha.
 
Kimono: Missguided £24.99
Top: Missguided £14.99
Skirt: Actually a dress Missguided £19.99
Belt: New Look £8.99
Clutch: Ebay £13.99
Heels: Next £25
Necklace: Topshop £14
Sunglasses: Primark £1
 
 
 
 
I literaly cannot wait for the new season trends coming out,a lot are just new developments on last year trends which is a bit disapointing but my favourites are for sure going to be punk, checks/tartan, and maybe the whole country look. One thing is for sure I hate the candy hues, blergh does nothing for me. Even though I have given it a slight nod to my ends now being pink, tell me if you guys like it, I'm still unsure :/.
 
One more thing, do you guys want to see me have my outfits photographed else where in different places or do you like the same set up each time :)?
 
 
Its a super nice day out and I'm off work for once so I'm going to run outside and play like a kid!
 
see you all soon.

p.s If you fancy seeing what I wore to win follow me on instagram at chloejade_28 and don't forget to follow me on bloglovin :).

I Was Born In A Flower

Hello everyone!
 
 
I have just realised now how wrong my title is....however I cannot be assed changing it so it will have to remain. Moving very quickly on, how are you all? This summer so far has been great but already I am getting very bored, I am one of those people that constantly needs projects or else I feel a little useless :/. Or I just eat. Pretty sure I help keep Jaffa cakes going.
 
 
 
My clothing obsession has currently taken over my life. For real this time. I have now started budgeting so that I survive through the entire month and this week I spent the whole budget on clothes so I will not have a social life for the next week. Smart Chloe. Smart. Least I will have a pretty new delivery soon :D.
 
I must admit I am getting pretty sick of the high street, I love the fact you can see and touch the clothing compared to online stores, but nothing is original or HELL YEAH YOU GOTTA GET THIS. I am starting to majorly convert to spending all my clothes money online, which sucks because I can't try any of it on. Plus I'm an optimistic and always buy a size 8, then sigh in disgust as it doesn't fit, obviously. I will learn. I will.
 
 
 
 
 
So I decided to pay homage to the great weather we have been having and wear an entirely floral outfit. Why not. I wasn't sure if the camera would be able to pick up on all the prints that are going on but it does the job. I actually love this outfit even if it is a little out there. The one thing I would change is I really really really want one of those Grafea ruck sacks in white, so I think this outfit would look better if I had one. Check out their site here, at your own risk.
 
Bomber Jacket: H&M £29.99
Shirt: Warehouse £45
Trousers: H&M £17.99 (I think)
Heels: Primark £12
Clutch: New Look £19.99
Necklace: Dorothy Perkins £25
 
 
 
 
Oh, I've entered the #iammissguided competition so please vote for me on instagram :), my name is chloejade_28 and its me wearing this outfit but the one where I am sitting down. MUCH APPRECIATED. I think if you win you get £250 in vouchers. wow.
 
Also if you aren't already remember to follow me on bloglovin so you don't miss out and also so that I remember to follow you back as I am a nightmare at remembering!
 
Hope you guys are keeping cool out there.
 
See yas
