A piece of America...

I hope your all having a lovely weekend! Here are a few shots of me on the canal in Camden, London.
(Im such a doofous I know but I'm still getting used to a camera in my face and I find it harder being serious ha!). I'm lucky to live near the canal as its a lovely place for a weekend walk in the sun and its not overcrowded like most of London on the weekend, check it out if your visiting!

So this is a new top that I brought from the new up and coming app 'Depop'. This is an app where you can sell old/new things that you don't want anymore. Its like a combination of ASOS marketplace and Ebay. I like how you can gain followers and follow other people, so when they post a new item you can make sure you grab it first or they can see what you post next. There are some well know bloggers on there too so check it out!

Depop @khrissieloves

I love this shirt, its one of those styles which are really 'in' right now as I think its one of those nice trends where you can look effortless really easy. I've also been loving these shoes at the moment, they are oh so comfy and I'm really into white this season and they go with almost anything. 

Life is quite busy work wise at the moment so I don't have much energy at the end of the week when I want to do my own thing. I brought a new notebook so I can start organising my hobbies and interests as I really want to make a go at blogging and get better at writing etc etc...

Rambles over... hehe! Catch you soon!

Love from Brussels...

Top: Topshop / Jeans, Sunglasses & Necklace: Primark / Boots: Urban outfitters / Coat: New Look

So here are some more picture from my trip to Brussels, these images are from when we went to Ghent for the day. As you can see Ghent is a beautiful city and I definitely want to visit again in the future. The architecture is to die for so walking around with ice cream in one hand and chocolate in the other, was ideal. (Trying out the fruit beers was also a fun time for me)

While we were there we went to the design museum as we thought it might be inspirational for our graphic design minds. I did enjoy it as we got to see the Robert Dyas exhibition as well as some quirky pieces of art. Nick took some images of my outfit while we were in one of the sections of the museum and as you can see I'm not very good at acting serious when Im having my picture taken as I know I have one of those moody relaxed faces ha! So being silly is usually the outcome and it shows my 'fun' side, right?

I'm trying to travel more this year as I have this urge to explore and 'live the adventure'

I feel I'm in a funny stage of my life at the moment as I'm enjoying my job but I kind of feel its not what I'm meant to be doing...and I'm not sure what it is I am? So join me on my journey to discovering where I'm meant to be in life.

Chow!

Best Dressed: Met Ball 2014

Looking at celebrities choice of dresses are the first thing we want to see at any event, judging their risky or safe decisions and lusting over gorgeous couples. I've picked a few of my favourites to share with you, mainly so I can keep a record of dresses/celebrities I want to lust over myself!

Beyoncé wore a Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci dress with Lorraine Schwartz jewellery

I am a HUGE Beyoncé fan...She IS the queen and she didnt let me down, head-to-toe glamourous & what a hot power couple they are! I'm just waiting for the day Blue Ivy is old enough to grace the red carpets.

Sarah Jessica Parker – one of the ball’s co-chairs – wore a custom-made Oscar de la Renta gown

I just love this monochrome gown with matching hair piece on SJP! Sex & the City vibes all over.

Now lets make a cuppa tea and get the movie on quick, I need more...

Cara Delevingne wore a top and trousers both by Stella McCartneySource: http://www.vogue.co.uk/ & https://www.google.co.uk/search

Stella McCartney done good this year! All the girls look amazing but I particularly love Cara's look. I'm more of a trouser person, which I've realised in the last month so this is a great alternative to a dress.  Stella herself  has pulled of an interesting number. It really shows off her style and personality which I love.

The gala ball isn't just about long dresses, if you have great legs like Rosie you can pull of anything. I just love this piece which was seen on the catwalk. It has a real hard edge to it but the shape still makes it feminine for a real girly grunge look.

Janelle Monae wore an outfit by Tadashi Shoji

Ok so I'm realising that I'm loving most of the non-gown outfits. And damn this girl has style! Its full of personality & thats the most amazing cape I've seen. Red riding hood has hit the 21st century and I want a piece of that! 

Dita von Teese wore a Zac Posen gown

Last in my selection, even though I was impressed by quite a few of them this year, is Dita Von Teese. Not everyone can pull this off but boy those curves and that flat stomach! This really shows off her glamourous style which never seems to let us down. Her paring of the red with her lipstick and clutch finish off this look to a T! Good job!

As well as some amazing looks which I have shown, there have also been the outfits which not everyone agrees on but you all know that for yourself. I hope you have enjoyed my selection and I look forward to the Met Ball 2015!

See Ya'll next time....

When in Brussels...Loving Lilac

Top , Bag & Tights: Primark / Skirt: River Island / Shoes: Urban Outfitters / Necklace: New Look 

Hello & welcome to my blog 'Khrissie Loves'

Writing a first blog post is so daunting as I'm not the best writer in the world but I have been reading and watching bloggers on Youtube for the past 5 years and it has come to the point where I really want to do my own. I love blog posts which are more photographed based as I am more of a visual person (I work as a Graphic Designer full time) so this is how my blog will be presented. I am going to document some fashion, beauty and lifestyle posts once a week, as thats all I have time for at the moment and just see how it goes.

So on to the photos.... My boyfriend Nick decided he wanted to treat me to a few days away in Brussels as a birthday present to me! It was the nicest surprise ever and I couldn't wait to go..eep!
So the day arrived, we hopped on to the Eurostar and off we went. It was a breeze to get there and the metro was so easy to work that we were at our little apartment in no time at all.

While we were there I asked Nick if he could take a few photos of me to start the blog off. It was so much fun prancing around and jumping off a roman bench in the most beautiful park with the most wonderful weather. Hopefully this gets across some of my personality and you like my top/skirt combination. White, lilac and mint are my most favourite colours for spring so I was excited to come across this cheap top from Primark, I paired it with this cute skirt and my favourite boots for a comfy spring casual look!

See you next time!
