No Debutante - Pump It Up

It is so sunny outside and I have just got the baby to bed and done a few house chores and I am actually longing to get outside in the sunshine, so here's a quick personal style post from me where you can find out what I wore on the family excursion to see Elvis Costello (first outfit) on Sunday evening and what I wore yesterday on the first day back on the school run. I'm still wearing denim, there are infinite combinations although it appears I cannot stop wearing those dungarees, they're back again!! Expect more big hair, ankle socks and wedge boots!

 I'm off to get me some sun before the baby wakes up. BTW I'm still no closer in getting shoes and accessories for this wedding, Baby girls like trips to the Mall don't they?

Thanks for reading y'all.

No Debutante - Vinyl lovin' Fashion Obsessive

Evening! Here's another short and sweet personal style post. Tonight, I shall be busy sorting through and selecting all the vinyl records, from our vast collection, that we shall play at my club night Bang, which is tomorrow night!!!! I am very excited about Djing and seeing who comes along, it's at a great little venue (The Stag and Hounds) in Bristol and in an area that is very up and coming and Bang fits in very nicely! For those of you who didn't know, I have been running this club night, at various venues, alongside my husband Phil and my brother Mike, for ten years (see the Bang Tenth Birthday Party post here http://no-debutante.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/bang-is-10-10-years-of-your-new.html ) Bang has a good following of Bangers (the name for the Bang fans) too which helps keep the club successful, check out the Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/bangbristol  for Bang photographs, events and music links.

I think I am just about there with my outfit choice for the evening and just wanna go to Bang and party,NOW!!!!!   

Today, I am wearing the leopard print hidden wedge boots again and have paired them (without sports socks on this occasion) maxed up with leopard print leggings and a plain top to tone down the leopard print and pink hair overkill! Don't forget, I do work in an office and I should probably tone my style down a bit, which is almost an impossibility for me! I guess, if was required to wear a suit everyday, I would probably come to the conclusion that I was in the wrong job!

I forgot to say, we also got that holiday booked.....Ibiza here we come! Love it!

 

That's all from this vinyl lovin' fashion obsessive...

Thanks for viewing!

No Debutante - Holidays and Candy Floss

I am still working the Bernhard Willhelm SS 2013 look, with a maxi dress, long sports socks and high top hidden wedge boots, I have chosen to wear a plain vest over the Madonna print (and to hid the low cut front) but to stop things looking too plain (and very un-No Debutante-like) I popped on my new favourite denim waistcoat to layer it up a bit, Grunge style.

It is my night off everything tonight, despite wanting to do a thousand things, all the time!! Phil and I are also deciding on our family holiday destination for the Summer holidays TONIGHT!! Very exciting!!! I wanna start packing now!!  Let's celebrate it's now wine o’clock!!!

 Happy Thursdays! 

Thanks so much for reading my blog!!

No Debutante - My Little Pony

I am very excited to show you the first images of my new pink hair colour! I have opted for the crazy colour candy floss pink all over on this occasion and I am rather happy with it! I wanted a bit more of the brighter pink colour and now have a bright pink section through the middle and another underneath at the back which will be more visable when I wear my hair up. I thought I would go for the grungy down look today to show off the new colour, which I am loving!!! Thank you Vikki Mac!!

Today's outfit was inspired by Bernhard Wilhelm's SS 2013 collection ( take a look here http://no-debutante.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/bernhard-willhelm-ss-13-hey-whats-up.html)

 I took elements from it including pleated maxi skirts, sports socks and high tops. I wore my Primark pleated Maxi skirt and a crop top with my Topshop hidden wedge boots and some American Apparel sports socks. Of course, I would have preferred not to wear the extra layers (tights. jackets and a long vest) but the weather is still shocking here in Bristol, it's cold and wet! Boo!!! So, I wasn't completely happy with the overall look but I still rocked it, pacing two miles an hour through Bristol in those (not very practical for walking in) hidden wedge boots!

  

Most of the comments about my new hair colour were positive ones, my friend Abbie referred to me as a Care Bear (which I took as a compliment) I did come to the conclusion I was, really, more of a My Little Pony, with my lovely pink mane. I think Abbie wanted to put plastic hair clips in it and brush it with a tiny plastic brush. Talking of animals with pink hair look what that crazy bitch Vikki Mac did to her dog with my hair colour! I would say it was cruel if that dog hadn't just sat there when she did it, like she has it done every week (She probably does! Ahem!).

Thanks to all who read my blog yesterday, my daily stats went through the roof, I am very, very happy!!

No Debutante - How I wear my pleated Maxi skirt

It's the start of the Easter weekend and we have another long weekend to spend as a family so before I start to celebrate with a bottle of wine (or two) I shall give you another Personal Style post.

In contrast to yesterdays Short Cuts post I shall show you how I wear my new pleated maxi skirt which was purchased on my Primark Sunday trip a few weeks back. I have been unsure how this item will fit in with my style but I am, so far, happy with the results, the skirt is so flattering which surprises me and although I am showing you how I wear it in this cold weather, I am looking forward to wearing it in the summer months (when they arrive....).

 

I found layering vests and crop tops with my maxi skirt made the look more flattering, I wore my hidden wedge Topshop boots that I am currently pairing with warm socks and tights to keep me warm. I long for the day when I can wear my sandal's and flip flops again!!!

 

I love my maxi skirt! Roll on the summer!

No Debutante - Inspired by Ashish

As you have probably seen on my last blog post I have entered the Company Style Blogger Awards 2013. I am, of course, hoping to win with my niche being a fashion blogger over 30s in the Best Personal Style Blog section. My good friend and fellow blogger Dilly Foxtrot facebooked me, telling me I had to enter my blog, which was a great compliment! Thanks Dilly!

 

I will need to keep the personal style blog up-to-date as much as possible if I am going to get shortlisted for the awards. Wish me luck and nominate me here http://www.company.co.uk/magazine-hq/stylebloggerawards2013

 

During the last week I have been inspired by my Brimful Of Ashish post from last week  check it out here http://no-debutante.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/brimful-of-ashish-ss-2013.html and have recreated the Ashish SS 2013 collection my way, many of the garments from my Primark Sunday post are featured in this weeks outfits.

Side top knot with scarf

 

 

Denim details and white embroderie anglaise

 

Tailored denim with sheer print details worn with oversized jeans and hidden wedge high tops (instead of the Ashish white Reeboks).

Headband worn as a scrunchie

Oversized layering

 

Crop top over denim shirt and tapered jeans worn with tube socks

OK, so I think I managed to cover washed out denims, rolled up tapered jeans, mash up denims, layering, sheer panels, ankle socks, tailored shirts and jackets, I even had my Dierdre Barlow glasses on at work (I forgot to pop them on for the photographs!) and the vital scrunchie topknot! 

Thank you Ashish for the inspiration!!

 

All clothing from Topshop, Primark, Galeries Lafayette in Tokyo, American Apparel and Vivienne of Holloway.
