Everyone needs a white crochet / lacey dress in their wardrobe for summer, fact! This one from Bank is perfect – the shape is really simple so it can be dressed down festival style with a fringed jacket and boots like I have done here, or even dressed up for a more formal occasion.
Coat – Pretty Little Thing* | Top – Topshop | Jeans – Pretty Little Thing* | Trainers – Puma via JD Sports*
As someone who regularly takes photos of their outfits for an audience of thousands I almost feel like I can’t blog an outfit as basic as jeans, a white t-shirt and trainers, but sometimes simple really is best and I actually really like this. It doesn’t need much explaining – my ripped jeans and coat are from Pretty Little Thing, top is Topshop and my trainers (which I think are the highlight of this outfit) are Puma Suedes from JD. Is this outfit too lazy? Let me know your thoughts!

This gorgeous Motel print has left me dreaming of beaches and sunnier climes, *sigh*. Thankfully we’ve seen a little bit of a sun this week, so I took the opportunity to don the ‘Pacey’ t-shirt with my new white skinny jeans from IKRUSH, sandals from New Look, and sunglasses. I really love these sandals, they’re amazingly comfortable and didn’t rub me one bit, and at £25 are extremely reasonably priced as they are real leather. They come in white too, I think I need both colours! My bag is a recent purchase, I think it’s really cute and looks way more expensive than its £12 price tag – I actually bought it with the intention of wearing it with my outfit for the Company magazine blogger awards next week (which I’ll show you soon) – eek!
If you like my top, you can get 20% off it or any other Motel item with my discount code ‘hannahlouisef’! 🙂

Dress – SheInside* | Sleeveless Coat – Inlovewithfashion* | Hat – Missguided* | Boots – Topshop
Here’s that great SheInside dress I blogged about last week again! I think that this demonstrates just how versatile this dress is, this look feels much more casual and (dare I say it) “”edgy”” than the way I styled the dress up in the last post. I’m a big fan of this longline checked sleeveless jacket from ILWF, it’s the perfect additional layer for a monochrome or all black outfit like this one. Thoughts?

As you might have seen on my Instagram, this time last week I was getting ready to see One Direction VIP at the Ethiad with BooHoo! Although 1D isn’t a bad I listen to in my own spare time, it was a fab evening, and I felt very important up in one of the boxes. I had a full BooHoo outfit picked out for the occasion, but unfortunately it didn’t arrive in time, so this is what I wore instead. I’ve basically lived in this duster coat since it arrived from ASOS, it’s so simple and clean looking and I think looks a lot more expensive than it is. I want one in every colour! Here I wore it over a plain black v-neck peplum top from 6ks and amazing pale blue wide leg culottes which I’m very excited to have in my wardrobe for summer as they’re a great colour, but they’re also extremely cool and comfortable! I finished the outfit off with some new sandals from New Look. Whilst browsing the New Look site in search of some sandals I found myself completely spoiled for choice, they honestly have so many amazing pairs! I may or may not have ended up with three separate pairs of black slider style sandals, but hey ho. This pair was the most expensive of the three at (a still fairly reasonable) £29.99, but I’m so pleased with them! This was my first time wearing them and so I packed plasters expecting them to rip my feet to shreds, but they were so comfortable all night and I didn’t even need one plaster – v impressed!
What do you think? Would you wear this outfit to a big concert like 1D?

Happy Friday! Seeing as it’s Friday, I thought why not show you more of a party outfit, and oops it’s another satin slip dress! I hope it doesn’t look too much like I’ve thrown on a pair of boots with my PJs… I’ve paired the dress with my oversized sheer shirt, I like the continuity from the shirt to the sheer underskirt of the dress. I think jewellery is key to an outfit like this too, I have on a collection of random rings and some necklaces too, including this fabulously shiny gem by Fiorelli from Nigel O’Hara. This is a typical night out outfit for me, provided I’m not going anywhere too fancy! I think something like this is a good balance between dressy and casual whilst also being comfortable, without resorting to the fairly horrendous student night out uniform of denim shorts or disco pants, a crop t-shirt and converse! Would you wear this for a night out?

Dress – SheInside* | Coat – Pretty Little Thing* | Boots – Topshop | Bag – Primark | Necklace – Punky Pins*
It might be summer (more or less) but I still need coloured coats in my life. This fabulous sunshine yellow boyfriend style coat is from Pretty Little Thing, and I love it! It’s not lightweight enough to be worn in actual hot weather, but it’s great for brightening up greyer days. Here I wore the coat over my current favourite LBD. I’ve worn this dress on multiple occasions since I got it a month or so ago (which is quite rare for me!), it’s just so great! The drop hem is perfectly on trend, the slim silhouette is simple but flattering, it’s versatile and easy to dress up or down, and it’s a mega bargain at £13 from SheInside. I wore this outfit to the Tia Maria blogger event a few weeks ago, so it was the perfect opportunity to use my adorable pastel colour Primark camera bag to actually carry my camera! It’s a perfect fit and much more ideal than carrying an ugly camera case or having my camera rolling around in a larger handbag, and better still it was only £6.
Do you like this outfit? Let me know!

Coat – Missguided* | Top – SheInside* | Skirt – Warehouse | Hat – Missguided* | Boots – Topshop
Happy Monday everyone! Here’s an outfit I wore last week; another attempt to incorporate pastels into an outfit suitable for the rain we’re still having here in Manchester. This top from SheInside is actually really versatile, I’m going to be wearing it casually like I did here but I think it will also be fab with tailored trousers for a smarter look too. I did think twice about pairing the top with this amazing lilac coat from Missguided as the two are slightly different shades, however I think it works fine because they have similar hues and because the rest of my outfit is black. Thoughts?

Dress – Wallis* | Coat – H&M | Shoes – SheLikes | Earrings – La Moda*
Another day, another dress! Wallis kindly sent me this great bright coral pink dress, with the task of thinking about some occasions and places in my home city of Manchester that it might be suited to:
- Summer Wedding – this would be an ideal summer wedding dress, if I was invited to one! I always see fabulous looking wedding parties outside of venues such as the Town Hall and the Midland Hotel. I wouldn’t look out of place in one of those parties wearing this outfit, but of course it would be great for a wedding wherever you are in the country.
- Dinner – a fancy meal out is my favourite excuse to dress up, and eating out is something I do far more often than I should. I would probably only dress up like this for dinner to mark a special occasion, a birthday or anniversary for example, but it would look great at Austrilasia, Grill On The Alley or Manchester House.
- Girls’ night – now I wouldn’t wear this dress to a student club night, for example, but for a more sophisticated girls’ night out it would be ideal. Cocktails at Neighbourhood in Spinningfields, or Cloud 23 perhaps?
The dress itself is fab – it is plain and fitted underneath with a chiffon overlay, which falls to leave a split at the back, which I love. Of course the colour is great too! It’s the perfect match for my Illamasqua lipstick in Scandal. I’m also wearing earrings from La Moda’s new jewellery collection, which look an awful lot more expensive than they are (£8!), go-to pointed heels from SheLikes, and super basic H&M coat.
What do you think? If you know Manchester, do you agree with my choice of occasions and locations? Where would you wear this dress?

Dress – OMG Fashion* | Hat – Missguided* | Boots – Topshop
You might remember that I was lucky enough to see Miley Cyrus courtesy of BooHoo a couple of weeks ago – here is the outfit I wore! ‘What should I wear to a gig?’ is a question I am frequently asked on Tumblr, but my answer is always the same – it totally depends! Because we were seated for Miley, and it was at the huge Phones 4U Arena rather than one of the sweaty little pubs and clubs that most shows I go to are at, I took the opportunity to dress up a little. Speaking of gigs, I’m very excited to announce that I will be in the VIP Box with BooHoo for One Direction in Manchester on Saturday! I will be live tweeting and Instagramming throughout so be sure to follow me!
Anyway… this dress, which has a real For Love And Lemons vibe to it (check out that brand here or on ASOS here, if you’re not familiar), is from OMG Fashion – I love the faux lace effect of the print on the top half! Worn with my Missguided fedora, chunky Topshop boots and a dark lip (Limecrime’s ‘Wicked’ Velvetine) I think this outfit has a real ‘cute witch’ feel to it. ‘Cute witch’ is actually my boyfriend’s choice of phrase, but I will definitely take that as a compliment!
