Stylight



I thought I would let you lovelies know about the recent fashion community I have joined and am so far loving. It's called Stylight, its is an easy way to make 'boards' but not just with pictures, you can add video's and quotes. These boards can become an inspiration board for a post or an outfit or show why decided you to wear it. It's a really simple way to show what inside blogger's head when they're creating an outfit or post. So far I've created 3 boards incorporating the photo's from my last couple of posts, It's an easy way to have the pictures in one place to see them. Also with the recent blog outfit video's I am making it's useful to be able to embed them into the board as well. A thing I always love is scrolling down the 'quotes' section on Pinterest (Which my friends make fun of me having an photo album on my phone dedicated to ones I love!) so being able to add quotes or little thoughts to a board is a great touch.You can also follow other people of Stylight and I'm loving seeing an outfit then below the pieces of clothing which you can 'heart' and go and buy them!
So go and sign-up or follow me Here.

Bluebells







Wearing- New Look top and shorts. Shoes - Schuh.
All I really want to do right now is sunbathe with a Costa toffee creamy cooler reading MissVogue in denim shorts and a retro bikini. I literally can’t wait for summer. Seeing the bright colours of the bluebells has got me so excited for warm weather. I have wanted to do some outfit photos in this lovely wood for so long but have had to wait for all the bluebells to come out, luckily this weekend they were out in full force so I jumped on the opportunity and went to shoot. I decided to wear a fairly dark outfit to contrast with the purple colours then a summery hairstyle. If you subscribe to me on YouTube you would have seen my video documenting this trip that involves some awkward voice overs, pictures of the outfit and me attempting to be funny.  Check that out Here.



I’ve started reading The Great Gatsby as I am so excited to see it as it has got so much buzz about it in film, fashion and music world. I always think films are way better if you’ve read the book beforehand so I thought I would try and power-read it this week before hopefully seeing it the weekend. My days are just full of eating, revising and dancing at the moment so drop me a comment below if you have any suggestions for different posts.

Youtube Channel Love


'MacBarbie07' - Bethany Mota's Youtube channel header.
After hearing all the buzz about 'Vloggers' on Youtube, the other day I finally decided to check it out. I ended up spending about 2 hours browsing through as many different beauty Vloggers I could find, I can now see how people addicted!
So the other day I came across 'Macbarbie07' aka Bethany Mota. I instantly loved her videos, she has such a fun bubbly personality which is shown throughout her videos. She also has an amazing sense of fashion, I want literally everything in her 'Floral Fun' video which show her girly American style! Whilst I was procrastinating revision today I came across her 'DIY bows tutorial' and instantly gave it a go. It was going fairly well until my superglue ran out! But I saved it by sewing the bow together and tying the strip in a knot instead of gluing. I am not a creative person when it comes to diy's or anything (hence why you've never seen any!) so I'm not going to lie in saying I'm quite proud of it! So yeah, Just wanted to share her amazing channel and bow tutorial! 
Check out her channel here.

Ramones





Wearing: Top - New Look. Skirt - New Look. Shoes - Schuh.
I surprised myself when I got this skirt out of my wardrobe. I got it last year and haven’t worn it much. I was always a little stuck on what to wear it with and when etc etc.This Ramones top is so comfy and I seem to be living in it at the moment. It fit perfectly with this skirt. The skirt shows a girly-side which coincides with spring and the sun which has suddenly appeared recently but the shoes and top still bring in my gives it a twist to be more my style. I didn’t expect to get any outfit posts done this weekend but when the sun was shining and the revision just was not going in I couldn’t help myself!

April Favourites!




 Crop tops - Primark, New Look, Forever 21.

I haven't done this before but I decided to write an 'April Favourites' Post. This is partly because I haven't had time to do any outfit posts among school and dancing, I haven't had much inspiration for a collage and well these are my favourites from this month! These three beauty products are Rimmel London Blush in Pink Rose, Rimmel London's lipstick in Asia and Rimmel London's matte nail polish.. I love these because the blush is subtle enough that I don't have bright red cheeks but gives off just a bit of a rosiness to my cheeks. The lipstick is quite neutral but I feel it completes my make-up look. This matte nail varnish is a great way to make your nails subtler or even vary the texture for nail art. Next is Anne Franks Diary. I do not even know how many times I have read this but every time I appreciate it a bit more. I just find the historical content interesting as well as how amazing she writes when she was just a young teenager. I find her very inspiring. My last favourite are these three little crop top's - or crop tops in general. I think my excitement for summer has started with these cute crops. There such a versatile piece of clothing that can be worn with shorts, skirts, jeans...everything!

London Marathon


(Don't know why this guy has a top hat on?!)




 (Obligatory Train platform shot!)

I thought I would do a fairly quick photo blog about my day to London on Sunday. My cousin was racing for the Royal Blind Society, He did amazingly well. It was so lovely to meet up with family and all support him. Through these photo's you can see the various places in London we went but a lot were taken between quick dashes between the track to try and catch a glimpse of my cousin! I'm extremely excited as I have been invited to my first blogger event in June so am excited yet nervous to meet other bloggers! School and dancing is manic at the moment between revising for our GCSE's and our show term in dance this term so please forgive me if the posts aren't that regular!
I also had a great surprise when I woke up to be 'Pick of the Day' on bloggers.com!

Sunny days and Dungarees








Wearing: Beanie - Topshop. Top - New look. Dungarees - Missguided. Shoes - Schuh
There is sun! Although it's not really warm enough to wear shorts, put away all winter clothes and jump (literally!) for joy it's still a pretty great feeling when you wake up to the sun blasting through your window. These dungaree's are my new love, I jumped on the free delivery code from Missguided on Thursday and the next day they were awaiting me on the doorstep! They are incredibly comfortable and although I feel a bit like a farmer, I love them! I'm off to see my cousin run in the London Marathon tomorrow and hope to do a post on that later on in the week. I have got a youtube video of this Outfit to upload so keep an eye out on my youtube the next few days

Christian Siriano's Spring Campaign


Christian Siriano has released his  'A Midsummer Night's Dream Ballet' inspired spring campaign. It is a mixture of  beautiful chiffon and beaded dresses. The film by Brad Walsh is beautiful. the ballet dancers are professional, they look so elegant and graceful in this film. The film is a perfect balance of showing the dancers wonderful lines and poised grace whilst presenting the intricately made dresses. Personally I never really keep up with specific designers, of course around Fashion weeks I try to keep up with shows but other than that it's not often I see designers campaigns but I came across this through this Teen Vogue article and fell in love. I just think the whole campaign portrays the delicacy of the dancers and dresses extremely well.

Down the Dusty Track






Wearing: Top - New Look. Skirt - Missguided (Worn as skirt.) Shoes - Schuh
So for a break for revision, well rather procrastination, me and my mum decided to go and take these outfit photo's. So we set out, the sun was shining, I sat on the gate, my mum turned on the camera; 'Camera Exhausted.' We trudged back home, tried to learn some Latin vocab, drank coffee  whilst the camera was charging. When we went back for the second time there was a storm brewing. It was extremely windy as you can tell from the ruffles in this beautiful chiffon top and the crazy hair. I've been wondering for a while how to style this dress I got from Misguided and paring it with this delicate top seem perfect to match with the aztec pattern. So that's the exciting story of these photo's being taken! 
I've added an 'About Me' Featured' and 'Blogroll' page on my left hand sidebar so check them out.
I go back to school tomorrow for the last four weeks in my senior school before moving to Sixth Form next year, I'm not too sure how much Stylestorey will be kept up during this busy revision and exam period but as always, I'll try my best!

Style Crush - Nina Nesbitt




 All photo's off Tumblr and her Instagram
So after listening to her recent song 'Stay Out' on Radio 1 and reading about her in Company I looked up Nina Nesbitt and found out that she's actually really cool. Although that sounds really sad, her whole look and songs are really chilled. She describes her style as 'pretty casual' and 'soft grunge.' I think that's a perfect way to describe her laid-back style. In these photo's she really rocks boyfriend denim, I love the dungarees and am actually tempted to get some myself! I also think her blonde hair, red lipstick and winged eyeliner is such a bold and daring look but she totally rocks it. 
Her music is similar to her style, chilled and relaxing . She lyrics are all very cleverly written and remind me of Taylor Swift's earlier songs. Go and check her out on Youtube Here and Here. So yeah, basically I really love her music and want all her clothes!
