Mom Jeans Mom Part 1

With London Fashion Week being all over fashion media this week I can only dream of attending whilst sifting through loads of images on Pinterest and Instagram for my favourite looks from the LFW SS 2016 Collections and street style trends. I've been busy enough with attending Bristol born Banksy's Dismaland (twice in a week no less!) and a body baording weekend in Devon to contend with.

 Today's post features my Topshop Mom jeans, I've had them well over a year now but I love them, the high waist, loose fit and turned up ankle, perfect for transeasonal weather too.

FASHION DILEMMA ALERT!!!

Despite my love for vintage and wide leg jeans I caught myself trying on a pair of skinnies the other week, I've not worn skinnies for years (after wearing them for years) and pretty much declared war over them, so why did I find myself wearing a high waisted black pair in Topshop the other day? Beats Me! Im such a fickle fashionista it's annoying! 

Here's how I wore my Mom Jeans lately, I had worn them so much that it looks like this will have to be a two parter. I love you Mom Jeans xxx

Girls Gone Wild.......Nineties Inspired T-shirts and Denims

A look that was popular with No Debutante last week was t-shirts and denims, mainly skate or surf labelled t-shirts worn with a bit of nineties denim. 

The first outfit inspired by nineties layering and the BMX sports wear inspired Marc By Marc Jacobs collection (see last image below) by the street style queens Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley. Worn with a skinny long sleeve tee underneath my Vision Streetwear tee and the very nineties inspired short a-line denim skirt, platform ankle boots and braided hair to finish the look. A very No Debutante take on the look I'm sure you'll agree! 

Don't follow.....Get inspired people!

The second outfit also screams the nineties with an oversize Maui tee worn untucked over my tapered Mom jeans with spotty ankle socks, creeper shoes and a grungey oversized cardigan layered over the top. This is more of an androgynous look that anyone can rock despite the oversized and unfitted nature of the outfit.

Platform ankle boots and creeper heeled shoes were massive in the early nineties and it looks like they are here to stay for the next couple of seasons......an investment well worth making for this Winter!!! Plus for any of you who are still rocking skinny jeans and god forbid jeggings please put them aside and reach for the tapered jeans, boyfriend jeans and 1950s style jeans, wear them on or above the waist and turned up at the hem. Don't be afraid, they are more flattering than you think!

Back To Life....

Hey hey Fashionistas! Today's outfit is a transitional summer into Autumn look, I think I have finally let summer go but it did take me a long while this year, which I am happy about since I despise the winter months! Despite my hatred of all things cold and wintry, I am rather partial to jackets and coats. I would say I have a problem with them, faux furs, bombers, duffel coats, military jackets, kimonos, denim jackets, I actually miss my faux fur jackets during the summer months....yep, I definitely have a problem! 

Today's jacket of choice is the bomber jacket, warm enough to wear with thin layers underneath during the transitional weather but big enough to layer up with comfy knits for the winter. You would be right in saying that I am indeed wearing a crop top on an autumnal day, let's face it those days are limited now as winter creeps in so I shall just keep wearing them until it is too cold!

 I have paired my bomber and crop tops with my Topshop Mom jeans and my new favourite platform boots to make the look a bit less tomboy. It's a very early 90s look with a 60s inspired bouffant in my hair to mix things up a bit....a usual No Debutante fashion mash up you might say but sixties hairstyles were quite influential in the early 1990s, which then progressed into more of a 1970s influence by the mid 1990s. 

Its funny how all things in fashion seem to follow the same loop, now the 90s has made it's first come back whilst there was already a big 1950s happening, I'd say I was back to square one again with the early 1990s looks mixed with sixties inspirations, it must mean only one thing....The 1970s Vs Britpop tomboy is on the return. Confused? You will be....

All The Leaves Are Brown.....

As we slowly creep into Autumn, despite the mildest October here in the UK ever, it is time to adorn your jackets and coats and to start layering up for the colder months ahead. I have slowly been allowing my winter wardrobe to creep back in with oversized layering being at the top of my list! Since the 1990s are back in full swing, it's time to start layering dresses over jeans and, well, everything!

Today I am wearing my Topshop smock dress over my Mom jeans (also Topshop) with my lovely platform ankle boots showing just an inch of skin between my boots and the turn ups on my Mom jeans. It's quite a casual look for me not too fash clash or avant garde street style...Don't worry, I imagine I shall be up to my usual fash clash fashionista tricks in the next post, you will get to see my freshly coloured mermaid hair too. Get layering people, the big freeze is a-comin'.

Thanks for checking in fashionistas I shall be back very soon with some more fashion fun! Check out No Debutante on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and tumblr to see what I am up to on a daily bases.

Late Summer Grunge

It seems I only have time for a weekly blog post these days, I am trying my hardest to find more time to blog but I am no longer kidding myself that a daily blog post is possible. I also have no time to attend fashion weeks (as much as I would love too) like all the other bloggers seem to manage, but I am happy being a mother, an alternative looking mother I guess, but a mother with a massive fashion obsession, who loves to blog!

At the weekend I attended my friends Sarah and Paul's festival style wedding and met a lovely lady from my new favourite on line shop The White Pepper, who introduced herself to me after enquiring if my dress was from The White Pepper, which indeed it was! (The outfit post will follow in the next few weeks!) I had my photo taken for The White Pepper Instagram but amongst the wedding fun and chasing little Sylvie around the festival site, I didn't really get a chance to chat too much. I would really love to do a collaboration with them! Watch this space. 

 Today's personal style post features my new favourite jeans, the Mom jeans, from Topshop. I am really happy to have found a pair of jeans that I love and haven't had to be cut from 1950s patterns for me to even give them the time of day! Don't get me wrong, I love my modern vintage jeans too but sometimes a contemporary item is needed to keep things current. Since I have been running, I have managed to gain a flatter stomach too which just makes me even happier! Not bad after three kids....eh?

The grunge look is still working for me and looks to be hanging around for another season, as my hair colour gets brighter (check out Instagram / facebook to see it now!) and long hair for girls and boys, Dr Martens and plaid shirts have become even more popular rather than a seasonal fad. 

It was a hazy morning when I took these pics, which kinda adds to the mood, I think. I dressed my Mom jeans with a plaid shirt, crop tops, Converse and Dr Martens, with hair worn long and centre parted or up in a messy topknot. Which is your favourite look?

Cruel Summer

Hey hey Fashionistas! As usual I've been mega busy with family and work commitments so I have to apologise for taking a week to write this post!

Let's get straight in there and have a chat about a couple of recent personal style outfits that I've been out and about in lately. The first, I described as a 'Autumn 2014 layering Try Out' on Instagram. The weather had taken an Autumnal turn here in the UK, the sun had literally disappeared! It seems mad now since our Great British Indian summer has turned up and the sun is indeed shining again! 

I am loving Smock dresses, I wear them alone (with shorts underneath, they are goddamn short) or layered over jeans and skirts. Layering is an easy way to keep those summer wardrobe items working for you in the colder months! On this occasion I have layered the smock dress over my Mom jeans both from Topshop. 
I have since bought two more smock dresses from my new favourite on line shop The White Pepper. One of which I shall hopefully be wearing to a festival inspired wedding I am attending on Saturday, watch this space for wedding outfits, antics and inspirations! 

The second look is more geek chic than  1950s inspired. I love mashing up styles so a rock tee worn with a 1950s circle skirt and plimsolls is a great geek chic mix. Real Modern Vintage! I wore my hair up in a cute and quirky off centre top knot to finish the look.
 Which look is your favourite? Autumn Layering or Modern Vintage Geek?

All clothing from Topshop, Urban Outfitters and Vivienne Of Holloway.

The Face You Wore Was Cool, You Where A Photograph...

It has been over two weeks since my last blog post, Facebook entry and Instagram pic as No Debutante.....Some of you may have been wondering where I have been. Two weeks ago I received the saddest news that will change the life of myself and my family forever. I have been shocked and broken and have not felt like doing much at all. It seemed selfish to write a fashion blog and post photographs of myself and letting you know what I have been wearing has seemed irrelevant. I have longed for normality to come back but as I said, my world has now changed forever. Nobody likes change and the best thing to combat a big change and what it throws at you is to bring some normality back into my life. My kids definitely help with bringing me back to reality (whether I like it or not) but a good friend of mine (my gosh, I have had so many good, good friends lately!!) gave me some advice which I have to say is possibly the best advice I have ever been given. The advice is that you do not have to accept what has happened but to try and adapt to the change. This friend also advised me to bring some normality back into my life and I am so grateful she did. 

You can either fall into a pit of despair, which is not really my style, or start doing some of the things you did before. Things you like doing. Well, I'm not sure how normal it is to take personal style photographs of yourself and share this with the world, but it IS something I like to do. So, move out the way all you teeny fashion bloggers, No Debutante is back on the blogger map and ready to style you out of the room!! BOOM! 

Here are a couple of my recent outfits, today it's all about Jeans and how I wear 'em. Vintage Rock'n'Roller or Contemporary 90s style?

All clothing from Freddies Of Pinewood, Primark, Converse, Topshop and Urban Outfitters.

Thank you to all of my friends and family who have been so supportive to me and my blog. You all Rock!!

Crop Top and Jeans

I am back from my holiday in sunny Ibiza and sat at home in Bristol, England listening to the rain pour outside and I am totally wishing I was back in Ibiza sat on the beach, listening to the waves! At least this bad English weather gives me a chance to catch up with some blogging, we have a lot to talk about! 

As anybody who follows me on Facebook and Instagram knows I have a new hair colour and will be sharing this and all of my holiday outfits with you on this blog very soon but for now we are going to have a look at what I wore the few days before I went on holiday and got my hair done, if you can't wait to see the new hair colour check out my Facebook and Instagram. Although the outfits have not yet been revealed to anybody yet, watch all of these spaces over the next few days to see what No Debutante wore in Ibiza!

Today's outfits are very simple but effective and are great worn in the warmer months. I love a crop top and a pair of high waisted jeans and here are a couple of ways I have worn them in July with creeper pumps and cute hair updos.
