Boohoo beauty

Boohoo, you never cease to amaze me. There has not been one thing I've ordered and not been happy with, this Gail grid check bandeau jumpsuit is such a statement piece, the strapless sweetheart neck line takes it right out of the 'plain Jane' category and straight into glam, it's so much more than just a ' grid check jumpsuit' it pulls in at all the right places that gives a real feel of sexiness and looks so flattering on.

 

Although I don't really think this jumpsuit needs any added 'glam' it was a special occasion so I decided to go all out...get me aye, I very rarely wear earrings and a necklace together because I feel it can all look a bit much, but I broke my own rules this time as I just loved how well these worked together. My necklace is New look, It's a shame the picture doesn't do it justice as you can't see the slight green tinge it has in person, my earrings are Primark and I do wear them quite a bit, especially when I put my hair back so I can show them off.

 

I teamed with my Fave Zara heels, slicked my hair back, which deffos used up 3/4 of a can of hairspray that I could taste for hours after, and added some red lipstick as I already had red nail varnish on and Vwa la, off I went for a wine filled evening and a bit of a dance floor boogie.

VERNEZ

Being that I am a newbie to this whole blogging biz I'm constantly on the look out for anything 'fashion' whether that's new websites, blogs or apps to follow/download my eyes are constantly peeled. So when I came across this brand new fashion app Vernez  described as 'twitter for blogging' I couldn't wait to see what it was all about and I'm even more excited to be able to share it with you all.

 

The genius new fashion app Vernez allows all users to create their very own fashion magazine from the comfort of your own personal devices (I use my IPhone 6) and what's even better is there's no need to be a pro in this field or have loads of previous experience, because Vernez will guide you through how to use the app when you first join, I had the hang of it very quickly after a little play around and following the instructions provided.

 

So if you have a passion for fashion, love shopping and getting creative but also discovering other fashion fanatics out there, Vernez is the perfect app for you and can really help show off your personal take on fashion and how you like to style outfits and accessories. There is a whole built in shop (kind of like a little department store at your fingertips) with all the latest trends and fashion labels to use to add to your own in app 'wardrobe' as well as having the option to upload your own images.... and just when you think it couldn't get any better you can even do a spot of shopping whilst creating your 'boards', with the option to buy everything you see in the 'shop' it also allows you to see how other users have styled a certain item, so if you've just brought a new top and not sure how to style it you can get inspo right there and then, too cool. I am officially addicted and wish I had discovered this app sooner.

 

Vernez is invitation only, so you can download the app from this link http://apple.co/1Gi2kuS and use my exclusive invite code louellen to get creating and shopping. I am also excited to let you guys know I am a 'recommended user' so you can follow me as soon as you have your account up and running or click the little star on the top right of the home page and you'll be able to follow me. My code is only valid until the 18th of December.... so what are you waiting for get downloading.

 

Below are a few of my fave boards I have made, download and follow to see more of my edits and my upcoming posts.

 

lots of love

Beanie and bands

 

I am so so in love with Josh's new bedroom.. boys got style I'll give him that, all white everything, although I'm not so sure he was too happy with me making a mess for him to take pics for the blog haha (clearing everything from this wall including his bedside table and other bits ) then again he loves me so he's just going to have to get used to it. "Like it or lump it my love" - said with love too obvs. Lol. Josh is very into his music so he had pictures of some of his favourite bands printed and then put them into these frames. Oasis, Beatles, Verve, good taste in music too.  

 

 

Finally it's getting chilly, is it weird that I've been excited for it to get really cold?! I think its the whole Christmassy feeling that comes with the cold weather and being able to get all snug in the evenings with a hot drink and some stew... heaven! I become a bit of a hermit in the winter and put my party pants away, unless a special occasion of course and opt for cosy pyjamas and DVD's for my weekend excitement.

 

Love love love layering, so naturally the chilly weather is perfect for layering up, another reason to be excited for jack frost to work his magic, brrrrrrrr. I'm sorry for the constant appearance of my Khaki jacket but it just completes any outfit so well! talk about getting my moneys worth. I wear a lot of pencil skirts to work but I also like to wear them out of work with a bit more of a dressed down feel, I've teamed with my Topshop Led Zeppelin casual tee and layered my black sleeveless jacket over my go to khaki jacket.

 

I've never really thought beanie hats have suited me, but the on trend pompom ones around at the moment are just so dreamy that I was determined to make it suit me this winter! absolute Primark bargain this is at only £3. I'm so going to get a few more colours.

 

I'd love to sit and write all day but I'm really not going to go on anymore lol!

 

Hope everyone's had a lovely weekend!

 

lots of love

Football Fashion

Ok, it's true... I am a secret football fan. I can't say I actually properly understand football, obviously I know there's two goals and the aim is to score! but like I don't get the whole offside rule rubbish and I'm not up together with players names or understand any of that bloke football talk gibberish, however I do enjoy going to the grounds and watching a match. I love it when the crowd chants and gets the atmosphere going, I really can't help but join in with the chanting, even though I don't know half the words, giving myself 10 points for trying though.

 

I definitely made a typical 'girly' error with the chanting, I could hear all the blokes chanting something quite angry sounding and the name 'Milo' so being confused, I asked Josh why they were all angry at 'Milo' his reply being "Lino Louisa, they're angry at the linesman." (insert crying laughing face here) opppps. 

 

Right, let's get down to the fashion business. Ok, I am so into flares right now, being 'Mr long legs' (Josh's little boy 's nick name for me) flares actually fit me in the leg, such a good feeling. These patterned flares from H&M really are so flattering on and I love that they are high wasted. I have teamed with a burgundy jumper that you can't really see & of course my fave jacket at the mo. I'd like to apologise for my constant hat wearing at the moment, but this weather really doesn't do my hair any favours and with my track record of losing umbrella's well it's all round easier to just plonk on a hat.

 

Top marks to Josh for the pictures, I thought I was more into quite plain light backgrounds but I'm actually loving the busy/ scenic backgrounds lately and he really seems to have an eye for this photography stuff.

I really had to share this one with you, I was posing and my hat flew off my head! 

 

 

What I've been up to...

Woohoo it's the weekend...boohoo to the weather though, See I don't mind the cold it's just the hair ruining rain, seriously how is my hair meant to look even half acceptable in this?! I am currently writing this post from the comfort of Josh's bed whilst he has gone to the gym, leaving me all snug, a cup of tea on the bedside cabinet and a 'Dairy box' next to me, now that is what I call breakfast in bed.

 

So here's a bit of what I've been up to over on Instagram, which I'm becoming obsessed with, I could literally spend hours getting lost on Instagram, lusting over outfit posts, new in trends, décor inspo...all sorts really.

 
I really do try not to use filters on my photos, I much prefer to just take pics in good lighting, I'll only brighten the picture up if you can't see detailing or the lighting hasn't caught what I'm trying to take a picture of properly.

So in the top left hand corner is my new hair do, the extensions are out and I'm going cold turkey... for as long as poss, it's hard and I have to keep telling myself 'natural is better natural is better' and I really want to take good care of my own hair.

My sweetie dish on top of my adult colouring book

I am so in love with this unicorn money box from New Look, not that I'd use it as a money box (I'm awful at saving) I'm so gutted I didn't buy it, but I seriously don't have anywhere to put it, I've got so many candles and pretty things, I'm trying to work out where I could put more shelves and as soon as they are up this unicorn will have a saved space for sure.



Anyways, I'm off to Fratton park, to 'have a beer and do some crowd chanting' haha and then for a TGI's catch up with the girly's tonight...yumyum.

Have a lovely weekend...

Latino Lunching

Before I go any further with this post I thought it was only fair I gave my lovely boyf Josh the credit for the title of this post 'Latino Lunching' as it was his bright idea 'Lou you should call your post Latino Lunching, I'm good aren't I." He was also my photographer for the day... giving me tips on how to pose, even told me to 'poke your bum out' at one point the cheeky monkey haha!

I'm not sure about you guys but I always feel like I deserve to have a lay in on the weekend, Unfortunately my Josh is the opposite and is wide awake around 7am...this is probably the only time I am thankful for FIFA, so I can squeeze in a bit more beauty sleep whilst he obsesses over the game, I'm pretty sure he love's his PS4 more than me yano..booooo.

Anyway I was treated to lunch at this amazing new restaurant 'Casa Brasil' with their moto being...'Come hungry leave happy' I left feeling rather heavy and with a bit of an I've eaten too much waddle but very very happy indeed.

The weather definitely seems to be getting a bit more chilly so I decided to wrap up a bit more than I have been, with a simple black polo neck and my go to leather ripped trousers. You'll notice I am wearing the jacket from my lovely new Dorothy Perkins co ord (previous post Khaki co ord), I can't get enough of it. I have a bit more of a shoe obsession than usual at the mo and there was no way I could of left these pompom points on the shelf in New Look, I literally would of been thinking about them constantly if I didn't get them... and what a steal at £18, they've barely left my feet for the past few days they're probs super sick of me already.
