Outfit of the Night | Lace Dress

Dress – SheInside* | Bag – Anna Sui via LYDC* | Shoes – Public Desire*

Photos by Portia Hunt

A dressier outfit post for you today. I find it difficult to blog outfits like this because on occasions when I do wear them, (a) it’s usually dark, and (b) I’m concentrating on enjoying myself rather than taking photos! Luckily, after wearing this outfit for a friend’s birthday night out, I got dressed up again and the beautiful Portia took these photos for me.

My dress is from SheInside, and is very very similar to the For Love and Lemons dresses I love but can’t really justify spending £100+ on. This one is only £25, and comes in an equally cool neon yellow lace. I continued the nude and black theme of the dress with this Anna Sui bag from LYDC – the perfect size for an evening and just about big enough for daytime too. I think it looks quite high end, at least in comparison to the £22 price tag. Finally I’m wearing these surprisingly comfortable heeled sandals from Public Desire, I’m usually more of a silver kind of gal but I love the gold straps on these! What do you think?

LFW Day 1 – Outfit Of The Day

Tah-dah! Right now I am in the midst of my very first fashion week. Living in Manchester and not studying or working in fashion has meant that thus far I just haven’t had the combination of opportunity and drive to go down, but I’m so glad I’ve finally made the trip. I’m eternally grateful to the people and brands who have allowed me to do this, in particular Oh My Love, Premier Inn and Megan! Friday was my first day, and here’s what I wore.

For the first part of the day I was invited by Oh My Love to shoot some street style (which I’ll be showing you in other posts) and hang out with the OML team and blogger babes Shope, Danielle and Amy. Naturally, my outfit consisted of an Oh My Love dress, and the most amazing fluffy OML bag! I kept my outfit monochrome with a black roll neck ribbed jumper from Motel and monochrome faux fur scarf from Primark (a terrible combination in hindsight, it was unbearably hot at times!), and super cute pointed monk shoes from Spy Love Buy. I’m also wearing House of Harlow sunglasses from Sunglasses Shop.

These photos were taken on the rooftop of the incredible ME hotel at Company magazine’s blogger breakfast. The view is amazing! Be sure to follow me on Instagram and Twitter, both @hannahlouisef for more LFW photos and updates.

Outfit Of The Day | Turquoise Lace and Burberry SS14 Vibes

Dress – Primark | Coat – eBay | Shoes – SheLikes* | Bag – Primark

Wow I have been so slack with outfit posts recently; this is the outfit I wore to Manchester Fashion Week, a whole five weekends ago – oops. You might remember I promised this post here! Anyway, I’ve finished university for the year, so at the moment I’ve all the time in the world to catch up with blogging.

This is definitely one of my favourite recent outfits. This amazing dress, which is almost a Burberry SS14 lace dress dupe, is a bargainous £17 from Primark. It comes in more colours too, but this turquoise is my fave! I was a huge fan of the whole Burberry SS14 embellished lace and candy coloured coats, so it’s great to be able to replicate that look on a budget. For MCRFW, I paired the Primark dress with my £2 eBay coat, SheLikes pointed heels, and Primark mini satchel which I discovered is luckily a perfect match for my shoes.

What do you think? Don’t forget to check out this look, and all my other Primark looks, on Primania – give me ‘Primarks’ and upload your own looks to win vouchers!

Two Tone

Coat – SheInside* | Dress – Missguided* | Shoes – Choies*

As you might be able to tell, this is an outfit I wore a couple of weeks ago, whilst it was still somewhat warm – I’m currently freezing and haven’t quite worked out how to use the heating in my flat… . I couldn’t resist sharing it though, this coat is just amazing! I love the colours and especially the tailored style; it is another Zara-esque bargain at £24 from SheInside, and I’m hoping to still get plenty of wear out of it throughout winter too (layers are everything!!). Here I wore it over this super pretty Missguided dress, which I wore in my Missguided blogger edit but have also worn a bunch of times since. I love wearing it with a few different interesting necklaces, which I’m finally starting to build up a decent collection of. I especially love my obsidian pendant by IndigoMoon – you can currently order similar pendants and other one-of-a-kind jewels from the lovely Sarah on the IndigoMoon Facebook page.

Missguided Blogger Edit – my outfit

Everything! – Missguided*

As promised in my post yesterday, here is the full outfit kindly given to me by Missguided! Missguided are looking for your vote in the Fabulous High Street Awards as the best ‘One Stop Shop’, and as you can hopefully see from this outfit, they definitely deserve it! Everything from my hat to my shoes is Missguided, and I was really spoilt for choice when trying to decide what to choose for this feature. I went for the Reaha Kimono (currently £16.99), Vavery Dress in white (£34.99), Kayna Hat (£14.99), Micah Bag (£29.99) and Bettie Jelly Sandals in black (£21.99). The kimono is fab for the current transitional weather as the dark floral print is very autumnal but it’s also a nice light alternative to a coat, there’s nothing I don’t love about the dress, and all of the accessories are very versatile! Not to mention that this entire outfit, including the bag and hat, is under £120 – a price you’d struggle to match in some other high street shops.

Check out my feature on the Missguided website, and don’t forget to vote!
