Neon glow

My next find is this dazzling dress by Oasis. Oasis isn't typically my first stop on the high street, however their frocks this season have been breathtaking!!. I love how neon is always a head turner bringing an uncompromising yet radiant glow no matter the season. The wide pleated skirt volumises the silhouette and brings a very classic yet youthful appearance. The low v-neck line along with the sheer fabric exudes sexiness and sophistication in one, Im in love!!. This dress retails just at £40, so ladies I would grab this head tuner while its still available!!!.   

sunflowers

This has been long overdue, but I have finally found the time to showcase my fav inexpensive finds. To start with, is this yellow sleeveless sunflower A-line dress. Im a real fanatic when it comes to detailing because I believe it adds so much sparkle to a dress, the embroidered sunflowers along with the A-line silhouette give this frock a very feminine glow. You can find this dress at sheinside for just £17.15, a fraction of the alice+olivia dress.

High street replicas

Finding a high street replica of Solanges dazzling A-line lemon print dress became a bit of a challenge :(. It very quickly became clear that summer 2013 would not be the year of the fruit print. However all was not lost, instead of pointlessly searching far and wide for lemon print, I shifted my focus to the other attributes of this fine frock. Both the Citrus yellow and the A-line silhouette scream summer, making both elements very easy finds on the high st. As the image above shows, the dresses are not an exact replica, however they all give off the same playful vintage feel that Solanges dress exudes. I will be uploading more details on each dress very soon ;).

High street dupe

The best high street find so far, is this Oasis Lemon Flower Print Dress, retailing at just £45. Just like the alice+olivia lemon print dress, this frock also has an A-line silhouette which gives the outfit a very vintage yet playful appearance. The print is a mix of florals and lemons.

 As the long awaited season of summer arrives, I believe exuberance over the newest frocks hitting the stores is completely justified!!!. Solange is fast becoming my new style crush, and i believe summer is the perfect season to seek inspiration from this diva. I recently discovered this breathtaking photograph of Solange in this Lemon Print A Line Dress, and completely fell in love. This is a photo montage I put together of corally tones blended with the citrus yellow dress.
The two colours work very well together, and both give the outfit a playful yet captivating appearance. I also added the much coveted zara bag, to tally up the outfits elegance. The dress is by alice+olivia priced at £269.72 but Im certain with close inspection of the high street, Ill be able to find an inexpensive version of the dress that is just as stunning. I will be posting these finds soon.

Re-connecting

Due to the hustle and bustle of life, it can be so easy for us to let our passions slip through the net. Its been a long while since I've created any art pieces or even uploaded on this blog period!. So I decided that I would make some changes and re-connect with the things I'm most passionate about, one of those being art.
A few weeks ago I saw a photo of one of my fav youtube gurus Erica Fae and became instantly inspired to recreate the photograph as a vector piece using adobe illustrator. These were the results!!, considering that it has been a long while since I've been in touch with my creative side I was very pleased with the outcome.
The results have definitely re-ignited my passion for creating art and over the next few weeks I will be uploading more work.

State side with my cuz :)
