No Debutante - July, she will fly

We have now made it to July's outfits, this year is going very quick but my holiday to Ibiza is not coming quick enough! I cannot wait to get on that plane and step off into the heat of Ibiza, I am very excited!! Anyhoo, I must wait a little while longer until that day comes, so let's have a look at what I have been wearing in July so far.

My first outfit I wore all day on Monday, even when we went out to Atomic Burger for Lucian's family birthday treat. Lucian loves Atomic Burger and since they do make the best burgers in Bristol, we love it too! I was happy with my maxi skirt, crop top and leopard print sandals combo so I didn't need to change to go out and the weather was hot too, so the outfit was perfect.

On Tuesday, I felt like wearing a dress and the weather wasn't too great so tights and my studded ballet pumps completed my outfit, a dress and pumps is a simple outfit but always looks like you have made an effort. I wore my hair  down at the back with a Betty Bang style fringe, which is becoming a favourite look of mine. Hope you like what I wore!

Thanks for following, reading, looking at the photographs and generally checking out my blog!

No Debutante - Bournemouth Rock

I am currently in the process of finding the best way to create blog posts on the go, using my smart phone. Since I have joined Instagram and the newly found (thanks to fellow blogger Sian from Style With Friends) WIWT (What I Wore Today) both of these Apps allow me to instantly crop and post my outfit pics moments after I have taken them. I am supposed to be able to do this on Blogger but, I am not having much success as the images appear to take forever to upload and also you cannot crop images on Blogger or choose where you want them to go. I probably need to check out some info sites to find out more tricks and shortcuts to do stuff using a Smart phone but everything seems so much more complicated using the Blogger App than using Instagram or WIWT. It just isn't instant enough! I need to get used to using my blog as an instant tool rather than a more planned out and designed written piece of work. Although I do prefer to spend more time on my posts there are two reasons to be able to create easy, instant blog posts.

1) I do not have enough time for the longer detailed posts every day

2) I get so much more positive recognition and interest from both Instagram and WIWT on my daily personal style outfits over my blog and Pinterest put together.

The conclusion is that I will continue to write the more detailed blog posts but when time is short or when I am out and about, an instant post is deffo the way to go!

The following outfits were worn over the Bank Holiday weekend in Bristol and Bournemouth here in the UK. There was a lot of travelling and rushing about involved so I went for casual looks with lots of denim!! I am showing you two of the looks today and two more tomorrow. I did attempt to post this yesterday evening (whilst staying with friends) on my Smart phone with not much success!! More practise is needed....and a more efficient App!! 

 Find out more of what I have been wearing and some exciting WIWT news tomorrow!! Don't forget to check out my Instagram and WIWT posts (links on my blog homepage) for instant daily looks from me, No Debutante!!

Thanks for reading and hello to my new followers xx

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!!

Bernhard Willhelm SS 13 - Hey What's Up?

Whilst browsing through my vast collections fashion images on Pinterest I came across these images from the Bernhard Willhelm SS 2013 collection and thought I would share my  favourite pieces from the collection with you.

I have posted about Bernhard Wilhelm’s collections before and I always look forward to his next collection of avant-garde, anti fashion, street style pieces. The thing about Willhelm’s collections is that aside from the outrageous styling, fashion shows and amazing photographs you will find that there are also very wearable pieces.

I am loving the oversized maxi cut dresses, bright colours and mix prints, the layering and the amazing footwear! I personally love to accessorise with printed socks and leggings and Willhelm pairs his with embellished trainers and Japanese style sandals. For the Men its all about mix print layering of sports style sweatshirts and jackets, bright printed trousers, sports socks and more sandals!

Despite Willhelms avantgarde aesthetic there are many links with this seasons trends making it easier to recreate the look using bold graphic Op Art style prints, pleated fabrics, oversized or maxi dresses and socks worn with your hidden wedge boots or for the braver fashionistas among us, socks worn with sandals Japanese style! The style of the high top boots are very similar to the hidden wedge style boots that are everywhere at the moment making that part of the look easy to covet.

 

The next collection is now available to view on Bernhard Willhelms website here  http://www.bernhard-willhelm.com/collections/w-13-14-women-lookbook/   Check out the animations!  I'm sure I shall do a post about my favourite pieces from the AW 2013 collection very soon.

Thanks for following me!
