Finding My Own Personal Style

Happy Saturday! It's actually starting to feel not as cold at the moment, so hopefully, that means the weather will continue to warm up a little bit more. I absolutely love the snow, but I think as soon as it starts getting to around this time of year more, it's nice to start having some warmer weather! But I do still love getting snuggled up in my dressing gown and a big blanket, with a mug of hot chocolate. A few things I love about Spring though is listening to the birds in the morning, driving past fields of daffodils and tulips and seeing the buds start appearing on trees and lots of blossom of course. I will definitely be doing a post on my most favourite things about Spring. I can't wait to start taking lots of Spring themed photos. It's crazy how we are almost in April now! It doesn't seem 5 minutes ago since It was the beginning of March and I was celebrating my 28th birthday!

If you are looking for a brand new eyeshadow palette, then check this one out by The Body Shop. And if you are looking for a new book, I highly recommend checking out The Little Wedding Island by Jaimie Admans. I've got some exciting new book reviews coming to ClemLoves very soon, which I can't wait to share with you. I also realised that I have quite a lot of photos on my memory card of beauty products that I have taken. So expect lots more beauty posts coming soon. Just to quickly mention too, that there's still some time left to grab yourself an advertising package for April. Head on over to my advertise section at the top of my blog to find out more. I have a choice of three packages and prices start from just £2. There's the Butterfly Package, Dolphin Package and Unicorn Package. There's still room left for April if you would like one. If you would like to view my stats, they are at the bottom of the advertise page.

For today's brand new blog post, I want to talk to you about how I have found my own personal style. It's taken quite a lot of years, but I've finally found it! The outfit I am wearing in the photos above and below is an outfit I really do love wearing. You may recognise the jumper from one of my previous posts and is by Damart. The skirt is one I got for Christmas. I saw it in Dorothy Perkins and fell in love with it, but as I was trying to save money, I didn't get it. My mum surprised me with it as a present for Christmas, I was so happy. I added my favourite Primark necklace to the outfit, some thick black tights, dark brown boots that are fluffy inside and so cosy, my baker boy cap from Topshop and backpack from Dorothy Perkins. This post is just a little bit about how my style has changed over the years, looking back to what I wore when I was younger and how I finally feel comfortable in what I wear.

The Warm and Chic Sweatshirt by Damart | Review

I hope you are having a lovely day today and that you had a great weekend. Even if the weather has turned a bit colder today, not to mention wetter! But the birds have been singing and flying about, which just makes me look even more forward to Spring and Summer. I'm looking forward to some warmer weather! I also just want to say congratulations to my competition winners, who each won a copy of Spare and Found Parts. I'm hoping to host some more giveaways in the near future.

If you know me, then you will probably know that I am obsessed with jumpers, sweatshirts and knitwear! I absolutely love them. I love that you can wear them with jeans, a skirt or even over a dress. Jumpers and sweatshirts are my most worn items of clothing. My collection steadily continues to grow in my wardrobe. The sweatshirt you can see me wearing in the photos above and below is the Lace Detail Sweatshirt* in Rose Tea Plain by Damart. 

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree with Simply Be

   
If there is one item of clothing that I love to wear the most, it's a dress. I love that you can style a dress for any season and you can wear them day through to night. My collection is continuing to grow in my wardrobe. I especially love floral dresses and patterns on. As soon as I find a dress I love, it’s literally all I want to wear! I love to own items of clothing that can be worn anytime of the day and will go with almost anything. The main reason I love dresses is because you can either wear them with or without tights, high heel shoes, boots or flat shoes, a cardigan or jumper over top or a nice jacket. The options are endless.
 
I recently received these beautiful dresses from Simply Be from their Partywear section and I am really loving them so much. They are the perfect dresses to wear during the day and to go out in at night. Also at the bottom of this post, is some loungewear items too, for when you get back home after a busy day or an evening out, and want something comfy to get in to. I love comfy clothes, and believe me, they are so comfy.

Print Skater Dress | JD Williams

As the weather is starting to get a little warmer, I love getting all of my spring/summer clothes out to wear. I have a huge love for dresses, I love wearing them. Luckily the day I had planned to take these photos, the weather was lovely. It's nice to be able to spend some time outside and relax in the sun. After the cold weather we have had, I'm definitely ready for some nice warm weather.

This beautiful dress is from JD Williams and is perfect for the warmer weather. I am wearing the Print Skater Dress in the colour cerise/white, which is from the Holiday Dresses category on their website.

Lavand Lace Back Tribal Dress | JOY

As soon as the warm weather starts, I love getting the dresses out. This dress by JOY I am seriously loving. This dress is perfect for those lovely warm Spring and Summer days especially with the cutout lace panel on the back. I really like the all-over tribal print, fitted waistband and button-up front. It fits perfectly.

Jimmi Jamms, Signature Hoodie

As the weather gets cooler I love getting all snuggled up in the evening, during the day too if I'm having a lazy day! There's nothing like putting on a comfy pair of PJ bottoms and a warm hoodie. 
In the photo above I am wearing the Jimmi Jamms* Signature Hoodie in pink. One thing I absolutely love about this hoodie is how soft it is. It's also super comfy and so cute. You can choose to have your hoodie in different colours, but I just had to have the pink one. 

I am obsessed with sleepwear. I have so many PJ bottoms from Primark, the ones in the photos above are my favourite ones (they have pugs on them!) I also love a nice pair of warm socks to keep my feet warm. Oh and not forgetting a  nice warm blanket, the one in the photos above is from Primark. 

If you haven'y already checked out the Jimmi Jamms site, I highly recommend you do. I am really loving their cuddle blankets. 

The Orange Jumpsuit

*Lilou Jumpsuit - Luxemme / Peep Toe Shoes - Dorothy Perkins / Bangles - Primark

Want to know a secret... I've never actually owned or worn a jumpsuit before. As soon as I saw this gorgeous orange jumpsuit, I just knew I had to have it and it fits perfectly. I suppose you could also say that it suits my name! I decided to team this jumpsuit with some bangles and peep toe shoes which I got from a charity shop a while ago for just a few pounds. Having never worn a jumpsuit before and bright orange, I love it. The thing I love about this jumpsuit is that it's great for daytime or evening. There's so many different things you could wear with this, such as a jacket, for when the weather gets a little colder or maybe a few more accessories. 

Luxemme is a new, up and coming fashion brand that combines Parisienne chic with Manchester cool, all with a luxury twist at affordable prices. This Lilou Jumpsuit is from their limited edition range which you can find here. They also have some beautiful two pieces on their website which I absolutely love, I highly recommend checking them out. One of my favourites is the Alayna Floral Contrast Two Piece from their limited edition range. 

Do you love jumpsuits? 

Mink & Stone

How adorable is this bracelet. I think I'm starting to get the hang of my new camera. I recently purchased the Canon 700d, which I absolutely love as it takes beautiful photos. I can't wait to start using it more and take it with me for days out as I love taking photos. One of my most favourite places to go is Sandringham Woods, it's so beautiful there and i especially love having picnics in the woods. One of my goals is to take a photo of a deer. I've seen a few in the woods but they are very quick. I also love going to Hunstanton, I can't wait to take some photos of the beach. 

I've often wondered how a piece of jewellery would look if I designed it. I remember when I was little I used to love gathering bits of arts and crafts and making my own jewellery. Remember the little felt pieces you could get in packs and you could make them in to broaches etc. I knew that I wanted to design my bracelet so that it is more me. I automatically knew that I wanted it to be pink (I love pink) and I as soon as I saw the rose centre piece I knew that it was meant to be, (My middle name is Rose, and my favourite flower.) I also added some flower beads in-between the pink ones as they are so cute. I was so excited whilst designing my bracelet, I loved every second of it. One of the main things I love about Mink&Stone is how clear their design process is, so you are able to easily design your piece of jewellery without any hassle. Every instruction on what to do is noted down from the design process, to ordering and sharing your design. I am so happy with how my design has turned out, It is everything I imagined it to be plus more and I love how the bracelet comes in a cute little pouch.

After you have designed your bracelet, necklace etc, you can then share your design, which then goes on to the inspiration page. Also if you design a piece of jewellery and share it, you can get rewards. 

South Coast Brights and Miami Cool | Fat Face

How lovely has the weather been the last few days, its been so nice. I hope you have all been enjoying the sunshine.  It's been the perfect weather for days out on the beach, BBQ's, swimming, walks, the list is endless. I love going out in the garden with a good book and relaxing. 

I was recently challenged by Fat Face to add a couple of items of clothing from their South Coast Brights and Miami Cool range, with items of clothing from my own wardrobe to achieve the perfect summer look. The pineapple trousers are gorgeous, so bright and colourful. They are nice and light making them perfect for days out at the beach. I teamed the pineapple trousers with a pink t-shirt and denim jacket, I also popped on my sandals to complete the look. They are the perfect fit and are so comfy to wear. I also decided to team the trousers with another pink t-shirt but this time adding a bright cropped pink cardigan for a more casual day look, perfect for looking round the shops or if you are going to a BBQ. I also added my sandals to this outfit to complete the look. The pineapple trousers would also look great teamed with a pair of high heel sandals for an evening look. 

Next is this beautiful multicoloured t-shirt. I am a huge fan of this t-shirt and like the trousers the t-shirt is so comfy and lovely and soft. Its great for those hot days as it is nice and light. This look is my must have for a festival. I added a cropped denim jacket and sandals to complete the look. 
Im all about different colours at festivals so this t-shirt is perfect. This look can be teamed with bright accessories and a cute back pack and your festival look is complete. 

I highly recommend checking out Fat Face online and their new arrivals. I am really loving everything on their new arrivals page. 

Lots Of Love
