Watch Brand's of 2015.

Watches are a part of fashion we all love, and not just love we admire. This one of the only devices when have really stood the test of time. Especially now since a lot of people use their phones to tell the time, and even technology itself has recognised how important the watch is by combining them together.

However, i want to go to the brands which i don't believe are so well known and talk about my favourite brands. 


 These watches are a women only brand, and span in a price range from £65.00 - £150. They come in a range of styles to suit every woman taste. The range spans the size and shape of the dial (round or square), the different straps which include, leather, link, mesh and double straps in a range of colours. The price depends on the type of watch you want, with more expensive button operation or bigger dial. For a lovely gift you would not be spoilt for choice as the range offers varying face designs from woodland creatures, floral or plain style. The range of metal finishes such as gold, black, rose gold and silver all avaliable for sale. I can see why these are very popular watches out there and definitely on the affordable range. The only downside is so far the range doesn't sell seperate watch straps so you can buy more than one to interchange or change when the strap is broken.  


Daniel Wellington Watches Men and Women 
This is a little more on the higher price than Olivia Burton but in comparison is still a lot more affordable than some out there starting from £99 - £179 for women to now with a new range coming for the men's range from £99 - £219. The difference from other watches is that the case is the only thing that changes from the choice of only rose gold and silver. The style of the dial does change from different styles and the size, however all the watch faces appear to be the classic white style. This is great for a person who loves the simple plain white style watch, but not for those who like a different edge to their watches. The part i do love a lot about this range is you can buy the straps separate, so if on first purchase you could only afford the fabric watch as it was more affordable you can buy the leather strap later and have two styles to wear. 

This Classic brand are pulling out all the stops in the higher mid range price ranging from £209 - £345 and come in very classic styles and case and face styles. They come in gold, rose gold and silver and really look stunning with their varying strap choices. In some way this brand is similar to the Daniel Wellington but with more case and face styles. I really do love their black style choice which the other two brands do not offer as it looks very classy and sharp. The brand also doesn't seem to gender specify it's watches and makes a lot of the range unisex, of course the brand seems more aimed at women, there are a few styles like the CM Black which both men and women can wear.


Fossil Watches Women and Men 

The Rose Gold range is well known as the lower costing rival of the Marc Jacobs rose gold range, but this brand has a lot more to offer. They have so many different watches for men and women in so many different ranges and span from the price range as little as £65 - £249 for women and £85 -  £695 so span a complete range and styles to cover whatever kind of watch you wish. I think the range is wonderful in it's many case and strap styles in many different finishes and the range gives you so many options, this is great and also a downfall as you might really be a bit spoilt for choice, however you can limit this on the price bracket. I do feel the brand are a little bit cheating on the women's range with only up to £300 on the price range, which means the range isn't as technical as the men's but maybe in time this will change. No pun intended. 


This is a British brand which has been inspired by the British Seaside and have two project lines avaliable from £115 with a range of different strapes and watch faces. This is a new upcoming brand and like the others it still manages to hold up it's own charm. I can't really say all the designs really make me feel like i am going to the seaside, which does confuse me a little as to why this is the theme. With disregarding that this isn't a brand that should be ignored and should be given credit for their work. You can also like the Daniel Wellington range choose the straps you wish to buy separately so have an endless choice of what to wear.

April Fashion Haul 2015 - Keep / Take Back




I'm slowly clearing out and buying out some new things for the spring / summer time for my wardrobe. Unlike before i really am making sure that i love every piece i buy and i refuse to buy items that i am not happy with for whatever reason it may be. If i make that error i always make sure i take the item back after a few days deliberating on where i can wear it and how. We all do it, we buy and we think we will wear something, and it gets left in the back of the wardrobe and we wonder why we bought it at all.




Floral Jersey Dress - £14.99 -H&M - This dress is stunning and i had been looking for the perfect dress for work. I love the classic cut and design of it. It also very comfortable to wear especially since i have been looking for more dresses to wear to work. VERDICT: Keeping, i have worn this and had so many compliments so far. Love it. 




Jersey Dress - H&M - £12.99 - I had been eyeing a dress which was very similar to this in topshop last winter but i couldn't justify spending £35.00 on a dress, even though i knew it would have got worn. When i found this bargain i had to purchase it and i know i will get some wear out of it when the weather is cooler during this season. - VERDICT: Keeping for sure, I managed to hold out and find the style much cheaper for something i know i will wear. 

Spotted Jersey Dress - £12.99 - I love the pattern on this dress, it is a really nice material but has a dropped back to it. I really cannot wear these dresses as i feel uncomfortable in them with the fit of the dress and also, i sadly suffer from a small but of back acne which makes me feel unforgettable exposing. VERDICT: Take back, this dress would end up the in the back of the wardrobe and never worn. 




A Line Top - £7.99 - H&M -I love this style top and for some reason i am OBSESSED. With stripes (If you couldn't tell from above) and this top i just fell in love with. I love the flattering shape and i love how the neckline is black. The top is also very soft. VERDICT:  Keeping, i love this and it is such a versatile top to wear. 



Light Denim Wash Jeans £7.99 - When i saw these jeans i was thrilled with the price. I wear jeans but i don't wear them too often because my skin needs time to breathe with me having eczema. The colour and price i was sold on. They don't look cheap either. VERDICT: Keeping, my old jeans were on deaths door and ruined and for this price i cannot go wrong. 

 Dark Denim Wash Jeans £7.99 - These are the same as above but a different colour, i was so thrilled with those i picked these up. These you can see they are cheaper but they fit really well compared to a lot of dark jeans i have tried. VERDICT: Keeping, again for the price and the amount i wear jeans i cannot go wrong. 



Daisy Shell Coloured Roll Sleeved Top - New Look - £7.99 - Bought in the 2 for £12 on logo tops - sale - I have just had a HUGE clear out of tops recently so i was on the hunt for some new ones. I feel in love with this one because it was different to a lot I have been saying and it seemed very fitting for Spring / Summer. Also loved the colour. VERDICT: Keeping, i've had so many compliments on this top and it's so comfy!
Cream  Love Heart T-shirt - New Look - £7.99Bought in the 2 for £12 on logo tops - I don't usually go for grungy style shirts but this one i really liked. I liked the symbolism of it. In even the darkest of hearts, love is always there. VERDICT: Keeping, I love everything about this shirt. 

Shell Brushstroke Heart T-shirt - New Look - £7.99 -  Bought in the 2 for £12 on logo tops - I was struggling a little when i bought this for the 2 for £12 but when i saw this i was very happy. It wasn't my first choice but is something i believe i can work with. VERDICT: Keep, I love these shirts and despite the design not something i was looking for, I did love this.  



Weekends I Love You Shirt - £7.99 - New Look  -  Bought in the 2 for £12 on logo tops - As well as tops to wear everyday, I was really after some lazy day weekend tops i can lounge around the house in with my joggers / PJ bottoms and up came this top. PERFECT. VERDICT: Keeping because we all do love a good weekend, especially myself who works weekdays.


Black Tre's Chic T-Shirt - £7.99 - New Look  -  Bought in the 2 for £12 on logo tops - I love simple slogan shirts and I have seen several models wear something similar and well i just couldn't help it. I aren't very stylish but hey can't hurt to try. VERDICT: Keeping, i really can work with this t-shirt, especially with the jeans i have just bought. 


Poppy Rose Midi Skirt - New Look and Sugarhill Boutique - £28.00 - A bit of a splurge product, however i have been looking for summer skirts that I really want to wear. As part of my clear out i have found a lot which i really now wouldn't wear, still new with tags on and haven't worn. I fell completely in love with this because i know exactly how to style this piece. VERDICT: Keeping, it may have been one of the expensive things i've bought but i know for a fact i will get some wear out of it. 



Black Textured Duster Coat -  New Look - £29.99 - I love duster coats and i have been meaning to get one. They are light and in the cold spring windy weather they really keep you warm. I really fell in love with this coat and ordered it online as soon as a i saw it. VERDICT: Not keeping, sadly when i tried this coat on, i really didn't fit on me well, I think maybe i ordered it in the wrong size but i looked drowned in the coat. I will be taking this back and seeing if a smaller size will suit. If not i might be after one in a different colour.  I am on the hunt for a duster coat.


Printed Shirt - Zara - £29.99  - I saw Zoella wear this in her video and i was obsessed. I have been looking for some more shirts for works and Zara always seem to be one place I gravitate towards. These shirts are a little more expensive than i'd usually pay for work but if i love it, i'll wear it. VERDICT: Keeping, i just love this shirt and it is perfect for Spring. 


Bird Print Shirt - £25.99 - Zara  - I love birds and i love cream shirts, and this was the perfect combination. I was really happy to find this shirt and i feel i can wear this in so many different ways throughout spring. VERDICT: Keeping, i feel this shirt is very versatile and i just adore the print. 

I will be posting a few of these as I go along updating my wardrobe and my verdict of keeping or taking back the items i choose. I  really hope you guys like this post and maybe it has helped you to choose if you really want to keep some of the items you buy before it's too late to take them back.

Let me know in the comments.

Jewellery - Swarovski Crystal Ring - The Rare Ring

For so many years i've been after the perfect ring I can wear everyday and this little item was gifted to me and I am so glad that this ring is now mine. This is a Rose Gold Ring from Swarovski, it has the Crystal's inset in the ring and it looks gorgeous. I am a HUGE lover of Rose Gold, especially with jewellery because it really compliments my skin tone, and especially with the ring size. Due to it's size and thinness it is a great ring for layering, so once I get my hands on some more rings in rose gold to go with it, this will look more perfect and versatile. 

The only problem i have with Swarovski are the ring sizes, ring pictured is a size 52 and is sadly the smallest you can buy so for anyone with less than a size K the rings will be far too big for you. I originally was gifted a size 54 and it was far too big, but this ring happily fits on my middle finger, which does look great but is a bit disappointing as i did want this on my right ring finger.

If you guy's know of any rose gold rings that would look great with this please let me know, I am a size 50 on my middle ring finger, which seems to be a difficult one to find in rose gold.

You can get this ring here from Swarovski's website.

Christmas Gift Guide - Fashion - Christmas Jumper 2014


So i didn't plan on writing this blog post but because it tis the season very shortly and everywhere and i mean EVERYWHERE has their own twist on the Christmas jumper. So getting into the Christmas spirit I thought I would take a look and pick out my favourites of 2014. 

The Ladies




Sequin Christmas Tree Sweater From Topshop (£46.00) - This one is a little on the midrange to high end priece range but this jumper is really stunning. It has a basic design but the Sequins on the jumper make you Sparkle and really look the top of the show this Christmas. The grey is perfectly on trend and the jumper is warm and flattering. Oh Christmas tree...


Gingerbread man Novelty Christmas Jumper - Primark (£9.00) This gingerbread man jumper really brings one of the true loves of christmas and shows the poor shock horror as someone takes a bite of the poor man's leg. I love the decoration and the christmas hat on the design of the jumper. Poor thing. 


Fashion Union Tinsel Rudolph Christmas Jumper - Next (£20.00) - This looks like Poor Old Rudolph has got stuck in a snowstorm and it is so cute. This cosy tinsel effect jumper really brings out two elements of christmas and make it an xmas jumper.





JANE BAUBLES FAIRISLE CHRISTMAS JUMPER - boohoo.com - (£15.00) - This jumper is for the lady who doesn't quite like the novelty look but wants to join in the with the Christmas jumper theme. The design is really stunning with trees's, snowflakes and baubles all over. This jumper is also great if you don't like the colour as it also comes in red.








Gentleman




This is one for the man who isn't really into the novelty look but still wants to get into the Spirit, this simple design of snowflakes is really sophisticated and looks smart. The colours are on trend and it really gives you the fashionable style with a hint of christmas thrown in.





We love a good ugly style Jumper but this one actually puts the style back in, this repetitive reindeer design is wonderful with the reds and green's of christmas. This looks perfect with jeans for Christmas, but don't think you've got out of style men, the christmas cracker hat awaits to cramp it! 



Cobalt Novelty Christmas Scene Crew  - Next (£23.00) - I have never before seen a Christmas jumper before like this and i love it. This jumper has a beautiful colour scheme and the scene truly is magical, Santa on his way in the night, flying through the sky to deliver his presents. Love it.





CREW JUMPER WITH AZTEC RAGLAN SLEEVES - Boohoo.com (£20.00) - This jumper is fantastic as it keeps the ugly jumper to a minimum but it still feels christmasy. This is perfect for that cheeky monkey trying to run from the novelty jumper look.



The Kids


Kids 3D Rudolph Christmas Jumper - Primark (£8.00) A cute rudolph jumper here for the kids, this jumper is so cute because Rudolph looks relatively sneaky in his Christmas hat. The nose is a little sewn on nose which is great for the kids as it really brings the jumper to life. More so for the boys than the girls


Teen Red Skater Penguin Jumper - New Look (£17.99) - This is a lovely jumper here for the teen girls in your life. The cute penguin with novelty 3d white snowballs are really adorable this christmas. I love the skates and how it looks like your penguin is having a whale of time scooting of in this festive tradition.

Elf Christmas Jumper - ASDA (£8.00) - You can tell your kids to quit elfin around in this Jumper number. This jumper is a fun one for kids to run around pretending they are helping Santa to load their presents onto his sleigh. 


Me to You Tatty Teddy Jumper - Tesco (£14.00) - Every girl loves the tatty teddy and you can't help wanting to give this jumper a good home as Tatty looks really rather Sad. This jumper is great for the older girl in your life.  




Babies


Baby Christmas Penguin Jumpers - Next - (£13.00) - This of the cutest Christmas Jumpers i have ever seen. Not even your baby can escape the Christmas Jumper phase but why would you with this? This soft jumper really will make your baby look and feel snuggly this Christmas. 



Girls Christmas Pudding Jumper - Matalan (£10.00) - This another oh so adorable little jumper for your baby to look and feel christmas. Not that they will be taking a bit of that pud till way after the event, this will make for a good snap to show the kids, remember when?
