Khrissie Loves: Statement Necklaces

 Miss Selfridge £3.50 (in the sale)

 New Look £7.99

Primark £8 

Lately I've been loving the idea of wearing something really simple and jazzing it up with a statement necklace and some fur. Being able to wear an outfit from day to night is the ideal when you have not got time to go home and change.

Adding something which will glam up your look and make you feel that little bit more confident is what we all want, so when your next browsing the shops, have a look at what necklaces they have to offer and give them a go, you'll be surprised what it can do for you.

Love

Fashion | #OOTD Bring it on!

Top,& Bag  / Primark   Skirt / H&M   Shoes / Urban Outfitters   Necklace & Sunglasses / Topshop

Autumn is upon is so it was obvious for me to whip out the leather skirt. Leather and textures are my favourite trends for A/W and I can't wait to get cosy and snug on my sofa with a hot chocolate watching childhood films and reminiscing about good times. I'm never a summer person when it comes to summer as I hate getting my legs out but I was a little better this year but the sun has finally said goodbye for another year and although I'm going to missing the warmth on my face, I feel good things are to come in the future so I'm ready to let go of now and live for tomorrow. 

Do you have any plans for Autumn?

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I hope your having a lovely day whatever your doing. In the weekdays I work my full-time graphic design job which takes up a lot of hours in the day. I'm always thinking about blogging in the back of my mind though and so I'm going to try and post an 'Outfit of the day' whenever I can in the week. Its going to be a real representation of what I wear on a daily basis as I really want this blog to be true to me and not too try hard.

Today I just chucked on this dress and leggings as I was having one of those mornings and I wanted to be comfy. I then realised how boring it was and hey presto the beloved kimono came out. Then I added the necklace and it still weren't enough. 'I was colour damn you!' and shining at me were these shoes. They are one hell of a statement but I love them and so did a few of my colleagues (with a few screwed up faces thrown in ha!)

On twitter/instagram I am going to post daily inspiration to try and help you guys out aswell. If its a tip I find or a quote I've thought of etc. We all need a little inspiration in our lives and so I thought this would be a good way to share the love. I'm going to use the hashtag #inspireyou so you can share inspiring thoughts etc too! My ideas book made me think of that :P....

p.s I can't seem to take this kimono off at the moment! I adore it and I can't believe I found it in select!
So if you see me in it a lot, I am washing it ha! but I'm just putting it straight back on, as you do..

S/S Clothing & Beaty Haul

OMG! I think I went a little crazy buying things these last few weeks! I always change my style and I'm still experimenting, I think I always will. This is just what happens when your a girl. I'm going to have to be careful as I need to make sure I feed myself still! ha! I need to get my priorities straight :) There so many nice things in Forever 21 at the moment as its so affordable. I highly recommend checking it out if you can! If your in london go to the one in Sratford, Westfield.

I LOVE everything I got by my favourite pieces by far are the cream playsuit with the clutch and shoes! The shoes are a real love/hate thing but I really love them! I think their awesome and will make any outfit a little bit fancier.

I'm so excited for my holiday! I'm going to Tenerife with my bestie and I'm really hoping I can swim with dolphins as its been a dream since I was 10 years old! Laying on the beach with a cocktail in your hand is anyones summer dream and I can wait for it to be a reality. 

I hope you get some holiday inspiration from this as I've grouped them into outfits, happy shopping! 

Have a lovely weekend!

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!

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!
