My Ideal Summer Capsule Wardrobe

My Ideal Summer Capsule Wardrobe by Kamarla 

Hi Belles

I decided to create my ideal summer capsule wardrobe. If the English weather would be kind to us and gives us more sun instead of rain and wind, I would be able to wear nice summery outfits. But were not lucky enough yet so I decided to imagine nice outfits that I could wear *if I had the funds and weather* :)

I styled the outfits in columns for different occasions, but they can mix and match to make other great outfits.

Column 1 - Party/ Clubbing: I chose to go very bold with this look by adding the neon yellow, to keep within the neon trend, and ensure all eyes are on you while you are partying away on the dance floor. The floral print also keeps the look very summery, but also shows a playful side.
Items used:

Neon Biker Jacket - Topshop - £58
Bodycon dress - Miss Selfridge - £35
Clutch - Zara - £19.99
Heels - Garage Shoes - £29.99

Column 2 - Beach babe: I went with a fresh aqua green theme, to keep the look bold and bright, as the sun will be shining down on you and will compliment any skin tone or tan :). The wedge heels will look sexy on the beach to elongate those legs, while also providing great comfort if you decide to take a stroll along the beach front (you can also mix and match the foot wear with Column 3, if you are not comfortable with heels)

Items used:
Bikini bandeau - Matalan - £5
Bikini briefs - Matalan - £4
Sun hat - H&M - £9.99
Beach dress - H&M - £14.99
Bag - H&M - £14.99
Wedges - ASOS - £110.00

Column 3 - Festivals/ Park: I think this look is perfect for festivals or just a casual trip to sunbathe in the park with friends. It's a simple yet stylish look due to the cool mint green theme. I think a pair of white shorts and a white vest is a staple in any summer wardrobe, as it matches with anything and provides a nice base, which can  be changed by accessorising. I chose sandals to compliment this look as standing on your feet all day at a festival, or running around in a park may not be as fun if your in heels.
Items used:
Cropped jacket - River Island - £45
Vest -   Miss Selfridge (sold out)
Shorts - H&M - £4.99
Bag - Wallis - £15
Sandals - ASOS - £22

Column 4 - Office/ Wedding: The peach and orange colour tone is warm but also bright without putting all the focus on you. The combination of the pieces work well together to create a structured stylish look that is appropriate for a wedding or the office. The bag could also be swapped for a clutch if that is what you prefer for the wedding. The jacket is optional in case you need to wear a suit jacket for a meeting, but can be removed for a wedding.
Items used:
Blazer - H&M - £29.99
Dress - Dorothy Perkins - £28
Bag - Zara - £39.99
Heels - Christian Louboutin - £375

Column 5 - Smart casual: Keeping with the summery trend I decided to go with a bold pink colour scheme. The dipped hem skirt provides great movement, that makes you seem like your gliding along the street or across to the bar if your out for drinks. I teamed the skirt with a white studded bandeau to add an edgy side to this girly look.
Items used:
Blazer - Quiz - £39.99
Crop top - Miss Selfridge - £24
Dipped hem maxi skirt - River Island - £40
Bag - River Island - £25
Heels - Missguided - £29.99

Column 6 - Shopping Trip: I kept this look very casual but also went with a nautical theme. Although this is a casual look, it is still stylish without looking boring. The red, patent bowling bag keeps the look crisp and clean, but the cropped, bleached washed denim jacket keeps the look young. The red vans draws the bag together with the look, but also provides comfort and style for those long hours of retail therapy.
Items used:
Denim jacket - Republic - £20
Vests - House of Fraser - £9.75
Jeans - Fashion Union - £22
Bag - Mango - £24.99
Vans - Schuh - £45


Also I'm going to the Christian Louboutin Exhibition tomorrow at the Design Museum which is going to be fun as Christian Louboutin is my favourite shoe designer. However, no photography is allowed unfortunately, so no pics I'm afraid.

What would you put in your summer capsule wardrobe and is anyone else going to the Christian Louboutin Exhibition?

OOTD - Shanaz's 20th Birthday

Hola Belles

My younger sister turned 20 today *shedding a tear as she is nearly a fully fledged adult*, and due to exams and all that other good stuff we decided it would be best to celebrate it early.

I spent a fortune on a really cute satchel bag and matching purse for her *Which I'm now expecting a borrow from time to time*


We went out to dinner at Red Hot World Buffet & Bar and this is what I chose to wear.

ACCESSORIES HAUL

Hi !!

It has been a depressing and grey week, with all this wind and rain. Guess whose decided to grace us with their appearance?...The sun finally gave us a treat and brightened the day :)

Anyways, last week I had to hand in my final piece of coursework for my degree *smiling like a cheshire cat*, so while I was up there I remembered I needed to find a birthday present for my friend. I couldn't find anything for her, but I did end up finding a few bargains for myself *Oops*


I was also cleaning out my wardrobe this week as I'm in the process of moving my uni stuff from  back home. I have come to the conclusion that I have a shopping addiction and need help, as I have no room for any new purchases. But did that little revelation stop me?...Nope... clearly not :)

DOROTHY PERKINS

Navy Blue and Pink skinny belts (RRP £6) - Reduced to £3, paid £2.55 (with student discount)
[to purchase click here]

Gold Chain and Pink feather earrings (RRP £8.50) - Reduced to £1, paid 85p (with student discount)

I have been looking for earrings to match my Dorothy Perkins necklace and found the matching pair a few weeks later at reduced price

EBAY

My necklace finally arrived and I love it. I can't wait to pair it up with a cute outfit

PRIMARK

I realised that I needed a pair of sunglasses that could go with any outfit, and I found this little bargain beauty

Jewellery Haul

Hii!!!

When I went to Meadowhall recently with my sister , I unexpectedly managed to find some really good jewellery sale bargains.

Dorothy Perkins

Gold Beaten Ring (RRP £5) - Reduced to £1 but paid 85p with Student discount

I seriously am in need of building up my ring collection! So when I spotted this gold beaten textured ring on sale for only a pound, it was destined to be mine without a second thought. I love the detailed  on it and luckily for me it actually matches the Primark disc collar necklace.

Silver-tone Ear Cuff with Skull stud (RRP £5) - Reduced to £2.50 but paid £2.13 with Student discount

Now I wouldn't usually go for this piece of jewellery but I found it looks pretty cool and grungy-esque (If thats even a word) .  I like how the fine chain hangs and is the focal point when I have my hair up, the cuff is a nice feature and I just love skull designs. Anyway, I had a mini palava with this because although the earring distinctively states half price on the ticket, the sales assistant still charged me full price of £5 ; so me being me I stormed back to DP the following day to get my £2.19 refund.

Silver Bib Peter Pan Collar Necklace (RRP £10) - Reduced to £1 but paid 85p with student discount

I think this little beauty is pretty nifty, to be honest I was not really into the whole peter pan collar  trend, but I think I should try it before I dislike it. I love this necklace as it has a mirrored finish and its moveable. 

Triple Feather Drop Hair Clip (RRP £5) - Reduced to £1 but paid 85p with student discount

Hair accessories are necessary to jazz up a hair style and seen as I will be going to a couple of festivals in the summer, I thought these would be perfect to polish my laid back day look. The colours of the feathers are both bold (orange) and neutral (grey) and and hang from a gold graduated length chains. Cannot wait to rock these beauties in my hair!

Primark

Gold Beaten Disc Collar necklace (RRP £4) - Reduced to £1

I have been searching for this little beauty for ages, since I saw Shirley from Meek n Mild feature it on her Scarf Many Ways vlog . When I was in Primark, I happened to go to there mini sale stand and saw it in all its glory just hanging there effortlessly, I was shocked but happy to find it reduced by more than half price, so I snapped it up without second guessing!

Have you purchased any new jewellery recently?!

Peace, Love & Besos

MEADOWHALL HAUL (Kamarla Edition)

Hi Belles

I'm new to this whole blogging world, and am literally clueless, but I'm learning. Anyways, I've finally handed in my Dissertation *sigh of relief* so I thought I would update you on the little impromptu shopping trip with my sister in Sheffield, before the intense revision period.

As you must have realised my sister and I love our little bargains, being students and all. So we like to look stylish, but with the affordable price tag. I was on the hunt for anything that would bring my wardrobe from the winter wonderland, to a summertime glam.

I'll be going to Wireless Festival again which is why I need a new outfit :)

PRIMARK

LBD - £10

Would you believe I have never been able to find a LBD that will fit my figure perfectly. I am a size 4 so finding clothes to suit me is difficult at times. But I just so happened to find this little beauty hanging on one of the rails in a size 6, which fits me like a glove. I was even happier when I saw the price tag.

Abstract print dress - £13

This dress is bang on trend and is cute. The bold colours are in this season, along with the patterned print. It can be dressed up to go to a club/bar with friends, or dressed down for a casual shopping trip

Maxi skirt - £14

I've always wanted a maxi skirt, but could never find one that suited me. Luckily my sister fell in love with this and showed it to me *she wasn't too pleased that the last one was in my size...woops lol* otherwise I would have missed it. It fits in nicely with the spring trends

Cardigan - £12

Ok I know that were going into spring but unfortunately English weather doesn't like to follow the seasons, so I thought this would be perfect for when the weather decides to take a turn for the worse. It's easy to throw on and take away that English chill and will go great with any outfit

Dress £23 (limited edition)

I could not neglect this dress and leave it hanging on the rail, so I adopted it to my wardrobe. I love how the zip can change this from a high round neck to a v neck dress in an instant, which makes the dress all that more interesting

Aztec print vest top £6

I love this top. From the front it looks like any other sheer vest top, but from the back its a completely different story. It's the little details that make things interesting and the cut out back, combined with the Aztec print = Amazing. The sheer fabric is perfect for this summer, especially for Festivals :)

Anglaise dress £6

This dress just screams my name, and of course I listened. It comes in many colours but the seafoam green appealed to me .I love the broderie anglaise detail and the cut out back . I may have to return to pick up some of the other colours.

Make-up bag - Primark £3, Collar necklace - Dorothy Perkins £1, Feathered hairclip - Dorothy Perkins £1, Faux Suede Mary Jane heels - Ebay £21.99
