It's TUUBDAY Fashion Experiment

 

This week (3rd - 9th Nov) I have had the pleasure to be apart of the TUUB Official, Street Fashion Experiment with 8 other stunning women from around the world. Each day on Facebook  & Instagram, I have been showing differents way of  'How I can style a TUUB'. It is amazing how one item can be manipulated to create a selection of looks from Day to Night.

 

 What is a TUUB?

• A TUUB is a sustainable multifunctional sustainable fashion garment designed and created by the lovely Kadri & Tui from Estonia. The inspiration for TUUB was from both of them wanting an item which could be useful for travelling light and be used in times of any emergency ( You know that time you forget that one item for an outfit). 

• It is made from recyclable Polyamide sourced from Italy. It is non transparent due to the use of double fabric which is great,  as you dont have to worry about wearing an additional slip or cover up.  

• The TUUB retails for £35 and is available in a range of colours. It is definitely worth the price for the fact that can be used in so many ways! 

• They ship Worldwide & the item is shipped in a recycled cardboard Tube package.

What's in my Suitcase?

It is not unusual for me to over pack and be overweight (I’ve had many overweight charge dilemmas in the past). However I have got better this year due to sorting out the outfits I want to wear in piles before packing them. As I will be going away for 4 days, I will be using my M & S  Holdall for my luggage,because it is lighter than a suitcase meaning I am able to make full use of the 10kg weight limit allowance.

Clothes

White & Mint Playsuits - Playsuits are absolute wardrobe essentials; they're gorgeous, lightweight and easy to dress up or down.

Multicoloured Kimono – Can be used as a beach cover up or light jacket.

Sequined Multicoloured Paisley Maxi Kaftan – Although this is a beach item, I think it is way too pretty to only wear on the beach and would wear this for nice restaurant dinner.

Shorts – These are a must-have holiday essential and can be used both in daytime or night-time. I only own denim shorts so I am taking my high-waisted dark blue shorts and a light wash blue pair to wear for different looks.

Selection of tops – I tend to wear plain coloured tops nowadays as they are easily wearable to match other items but I did pack an Aztec print vest top, yellow cami top, white halter cami, Black Silk halter neck and white crop top. Knowing me I will throw in a few extra before the holiday!

Nautical Striped Maxi Skirt - can be worn in the day or evening and easily worn with a variety of tops.  Black/Green Faux Silk Joggers – These are great comfortable trousers, which can be dressed up or down.

Finally most importantly is underwear whilst on holiday, although I only have 2 pictured, the rest will be packed later on, But I like to take mainly black sets and seamless bottoms. Along with a pair of 10 denier tights & a pair of socks especially for on the way back to UK.

Beachwear

I own about 14 variations of swimwear but I have managed to select just 5 items from my collection. I doubt I will use them all but I prefer to have a fresh bikini / swimsuit everyday as it saves me doing any washing on holiday.

Halterneck Embroided Gem Swimsuit|Multicoloured Diamond Swimsuit|Floral Bird Halterneck bikini|Nautical Striped bikini| Neon block coloured bikini

Bikini waterproof bag – Perfect for storing wet swimwear but could be doubled up as an additional clutch.  Beach towel – I like to use my own towel at the beach as it is the right size and I can distinguish my towel from the rest on the poolside/at the beach.  I also take a big floppy hat to protect my eyes from the Sunrays and prevent heatstroke.

Accessories

Blogger Programme tote bag – Great as a beach bag or if I go exploring on an excursion.

Jewellery – As it can weigh, I will only taking my Gold Body Chain which is great worn with swimwear, my pink robed and gold necklace and my Blue statement necklace.

Limited Edition Primark Gold Clutch – Black is a neutral colour so it will match any outfit plus the gold hardware makes it look expensive. Black faux croc & leopard pony waist belts – Again black belt will match any outfit but the leopard belt will instantly update an outfit to look fierce.

Shoes

Nude Patent Pointed Heels – I always struggle when picking out the perfect heels for holiday as it is no point packing a lot as you never wear them all, so I am taking my Nude pair as they are smart,  dressy and a neutral colour. Black Jelly Heart Flip Flops – They’re great for the beach especially when you are required to wash off sand because they are waterproof & won’t go mouldy.

 I will also take my Black Faux Snakeskin Pumps which will be worn on the day I fly out as they are comfy and perfect to travelling.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my full breakdown list of items I will be taking to Ibiza. I will  be doing an Ibiza travel diary after my holiday.

Are you going away for some last minute Sun before Winter arrives?

Peace & Love

Furla Crystal Candy Bag

Let me introduce you to my latest purchase.....

Furla Crystal Candy Bag; from the Sunset Collection.

I love the gorgeous Blue/Grey ombre colouring which amplifies the opaque design of the bag; especially when I wear it in the sun. The glossy coating ensures it constantly shines come sun or rain.

The bag arrived in a white Furla dust bag ensuring it was scratch and dust free; even the Candy Tag was nicely wrapped for protection.

Another key feature is the quality of the rubber; it is strong, sturdy and firm. However, I will not overload the bag in order to preserve its longevity. The size is perfect for me and similar in size and shape to the Louis Vuitton speedy.

My favourite part is the special golden 'F' padlock due to its secret locking mechanism.

What's your favourite bag for summer?

#STYLEBLOGGER ALERT: FD Avenue Vintage Patch Work denim shorts*

I absolutely love shorts, but always feel they are an item of clothing that are deemed only suitable for warm summer weather. However, gone are the days of only wearing shorts in the summer now that they come in various different materials (leather,velvet etc) so it's not uncommon to be seen in them all year round, also thanks to the different selections of tights from 5 denier to 120 denier!

 I was excited to say the least when I received an email from  FDAvenue selecting me as 1 of the 6 #stylebloggers. They sent me these beautiful light wash denim shorts with Vintage Patch work detailing by Cosmic Jeans.  

I have to also say that the fit is perfect. I can never usually find anything to fit me or if I do find something it has to be altered and I have to wait a while to wear it. But these jeans get a massive thumbs up as they fit like a glove.

You can wear these shorts in many different ways and I've featured 4 of my favourite styles/looks below and my lovely sister/photographer done a great job capturing these different styles :)

Look 1

                     

Jumper - Primark 

Faux Leather Zip detailed jacket- New Look

Bird Necklace - Republic

Spike High Tops & tights - Primark

I love this casual outfit, which can be worn to university, shopping in town or meeting with friends in Starbucks. The light beige jumper works well with the Aztec shorts to keep you warm. Matched with the detailed leather jacket and spike high top trainers to give it that street style edge. It's a really nice casual outfit that looks very swagged out!

LOOK 2

Gilet - Boutique in Nottingham

Aztec sheer top - Primark

Boot socks - Clothes Show

Wellies - Everything5pound

My sister and I always go to Wireless Music Festival every summer. Which means I am constantly on the lookout for the perfect Festival outfit and this outfit does just the job! By matching Aztec top to the shorts makes this outfit stand out  as well as the brightness of the sheer top. I paired it with the denim gilet to give it that effortless edge. Wellies/boots are a must have for festivals,  but with this look the focal point is on the shorts, so we kept the wellies plain black and simple!

LOOK 3

Bodycon dress worn as a top - Primark

Love Necklace & tights - Primark

Multi-Glitter Platform Mary Jane shoes - ASOS

Faux leather jacket- New Look

This outfit is what I would wear for a night out with my girls. I love bodycon dresses!!! so I thought I would pair my favourite bodycon with my new favourite shorts to make a perfect combo. I'm wearing my glitter platform Mary Janes I got as a present from my brother for my 21st, which really adds to the outfit. I thought my faux leather jacket should be worn too to keep me warm in case of dreaded queues. The shorts really stand out here!

LOOK 4

White Shirt - NEXT

Colour block Blazer - Primark

Gold Rose Watch - Breda 

Gold Rose Bangle - Jeminee

Gold chain necklace - Republic

Black boots - LYDC   

This is my favourite look, so chic and simple yet effective.

I layered the shorts with a plain white crisp shirt and a blazer. This would be perfect for dinner date or cocktails with the girls. It's sophisticated with a youthful addition of the shorts.
