Fashion Fades, Style is Eternal

Just a little over a month ago, the Bowes Museum finally welcomed guests into their new Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal exhibition in collaboration with the Fondation Pierre Bergé. The show (which is running until the 25th of October) displays a extensive array of the French fashion designer's life and work, also revealing the impact that his vision of womenswear had on fashion as a whole. If you'd like to read more about the exhibition then you can do so here!

 

So why am I telling you all of this? Well in celebration of the opening of this exhibition, the lovely people over at Farfetch decided to contact myself and a selection of other bloggers in regards to a competition that they are currently holding. Although I will admit that the majority of the products that are sold on their site are just a little out of my price range, I do find myself  scrolling through pages and pages of the site, just in admiration for the clothes. So when Farfetch contacted me, I jumped at the chance to enter!

 

It's A Fur Thing / The 12 Days of Blogmas #6

 

I can't quite believe I'm halfway through my 12 Days of Blogmas, meaning it's only a week until Christmas...WHAT?! This year in my opinion has just flown by. Anyone else agree? Anyway, getting on to the point of this post; today I decided to show you one of my favourite outfits that I'm wearing consistently during this colder weather. I've definitely been loving some more classic and simple outfits recently, and I think this particular one reflects my personal style right now perfectly!

FashionFriday #1 // That Cool Autumn Breeze

 

Happy Friday everyone! I've decided to add a new fashion segment to my blog called FashionFriday, where I'll be posting a new OOTD every Friday. I would love to hear your thoughts about this and any particular outfits that you would be interested in seeing in the future.

 

For today, my outfit is pretty casual (and affordable!) This is something that I would commonly wear on a cool Autumn day, which will probably become more unlikely as it seems to be getting much colder here in England, but for the time being, I may be able to occasionally pull this off!

How I Style Patterned Trousers // OOTD

 

 After having some decent weather for last week in England, I decided to wear some of my new clothes to make good use of the nice weather. I love this outfit as it's something I've never really worn before but is honestly 100% my style, and if I could dress like this everyday, I would!

The pictures didn't turn out as great as I'd like them too and sorry for my makeupless face, haha! Also my necklace isn't showing in the first picture so that's a little annoying...

What Would I Wear #1 // Coachella

 

I'm pretty sure that unless you've been hiding under a rock recently, then you know that Coachella has been taking place these past two weekends. Now, one of the great things about Coachella for me is the style. I love the bohemian vibe that Coachella gives and it's honestly 100% my style...if only I could live in California and dress like this everyday, sigh. So it got me thinking, what would I actually wear if I had the chance to go to Coachella? After a bit of searching the web, I can across these gorgeous pieces and now, I pretty much want to own all these - why do I do this to myself?!

 

OOTN: Family Meal

Yesterday was my Grandad's 80th, so to celebrate my family and I went out for a meal and it was a great night filled with yummy food...mmmmm! As we didn't head anywhere fancy, I wanted to wear something quite simple that was a little more dressy than my usual everyday style, as well as incorporate a little bit of Spring into my outfit - Spring is my favourite month in terms of fashion! I hope you understood that, haha!

 

xBeautyMagic Loves Fanny Crown Dresses!

Just a few days ago I was contacted by Fanny Crown, a formal dress online retailer - I know, if you live in the UK then it's probably a pretty strange name to you! Anyway, Fanny Crown offer a great range of dresses for all formal occasions and at fairly reasonable prices. They were contacting me about a new blogger competition that they have going on at the moment where I would need to show how I would style a particular dress from their site, so I popped over to their site to see what they have on offer.
