TOWIE fashion

For those of you who aren't from the UK, or have never heard of it - The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) is a semi-reality TV show featuring real life people from Essex. It's been dubbed England's Hollywood, and as we all know, Hollywood screams glamour! So beyond the fake eyelashes and fake tan, is there real fashion from the TOWIE girls? The girls are known for always being in high heels and dresses but personally, my favourite style on the show is Lydia Bright who has a real vintage feel about her clothes.


Since the success of the TV show, it's no surprise that some of the female cast have entered the world of fashion. Sam & Billie Faiers opened their boutique and i had been waiting anxiously for months for the arrival of their online store. Below is three of my favourite products they sell!

From Left to right: POODLE DRESS- £80, PARKA- £45, BOOTS- £40
ALL FROM http://www.minnies-boutique.co.uk/
My favourite is the Parka jacket, that have made a big return this winter. I like this one as it has a twist to just a normal one and would look flattering with the belt as shown in the picture!

Another essex girl that has entered the fashion world is Lucy Mcklenburgh with her website http://www.lovelucyx.com/ that has recently launched. Personally, i much prefered this website and found lots of things that i wanted!

From left to right: PYTHON WRAP DRESS-£38, MAXI DRESS- £50, BODYCON DRESS- £120
ALL FROM http://www.lovelucyx.com/
All these dresses i found i thought were absolutley gorgeous! My favourite is the bodycon dress which resembles the famous Hervé Léger dresses but at a snippet of the price! The python dress is also right on trend, especially with the flattering wrap style. Have a look on there for some lovely party dresses at an affordable price!

Amy Childs has also just released her clothing brand about 2 hours ago! But due to the high demand i have been unable to get on the website (boo!).
What do you all think of TOWIE style?

Faux fur for the winter

On a recent food shopping trip to Sainsburys, i came across a gorgeous faux fur coat. After looking for one for ages, and contemplating spending £90 in Topshop, i was more than pleased when i found this one reduced to £40!
 It was only natural that as soon as i got home, i just had to try on outfits to wear it with right? I tried on a night time outfit, and a causual day outfit... (please excuse my disguisting floor boards, i'm getting a new carpet!)

Day time outfit: Faux fur coat- TU @Sainsbury, Jumper- Topshop, Black Jeans- Miss Selfridge
                         Night time outfit: Faux fur coat- Same as before, Leather Shorts- River Island,
                         Heels-Miss Selfridge,Top- Topshop

What do you all think of faux fur coats? And my first ever blog?!

New fashion blog...

Okay, so, hello visitors. As you may have already guessed, I'm starting a new fashion blog. Getting things up and running so bear with me and come back soon to check on updates! The aim of my blog is to post my fashion ideas and thoughts on fashion. Being 17 years of age and still a student, the fashion will be of an affordable price- you don't need millions of pounds to still look fab!
