STYLE // LITTLE BLACK DRESS

Hi guys! I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful black mini dress from a lovely girl called Emma who has recently started up her own dress boutique! This black dress is an ESSENTIAL in every girls wardrobe. The colour Black just goes with everything and anything and is suitable for any type of occasion. The idea of it being a dress is crucial as a little black dress can be worn in all seasons as it never goes out of fashion and for any time of the day whether it being day or night - you can dress it up or down for any event.

This particular dress has a gorgeous cross over back detailing on the back which gives the dress a bit more of an edgy look so it doesn't look so plain. However, it can be annoying to wear as it easily shows off your bra so you would need a backless bra to wear this staple dress otherwise it doesn't look too flattering (demonstrated by me!)

I decided to pair the dress with a simple pair of black heels. I mean, you can pair with black heels but it does blend in with the dress and I think it needs a tad of colour to make the outfit look complete. (These are the only pair of heels I own so I couldn't demonstrate)

I recently purchased this stunning statement necklace from Ebay for only £3.99 which is a complete bargain if I must say so myself! A necklace of any kind would be perfect matched with this dress as it really brings out the shape of the dress and gives it a more favourable look overall.

 The yellow and blue colouring of the necklace makes it more of a summer look, however it really dresses up the look.

Make sure you head over to Instagram and look at Emma's page - @emilylousboutique and check out her gorgeous dresses she has in stock!

WHAT'S NEW AT LILU FASHION

I have recently had a fashion outburst where I'm constantly looking at clothing websites and going into fashion stores and lusting over everything! When I was browsing the internet, I came across this online fashion website called Lilu fashion. They are a small company who have recently created their own website and have grown in popularity from fashion lovers and bloggers. Their clothing is seriously something else and I honestly haven't seen a online store like it. They sell gorgeous prints of clothing of two pieces and playsuits etc and their clothing really pulls it off! So I thought I'd put together a little post about their 'What's New' collection and chose some items I really like!

This blue floral playsuit is something which doesn't need anything added to it to create a gorgeous outfit, it speaks for itself! The blue print is stunning with the added black colour to it's background which is perfect as I'm a sucker for any black clothing! The low cut adds a slight sexiness to the outfit and makes it suitable to wear on a girls night out or just on an everyday summers day.

This tie dye loose black and white playsuit is a staple for any girl's wardrobe this summer as even though it is black and white, it's still great to wear in the summer season as it is a playsuit and the white dye print gives the look a bit of an edge and spices the playsuit up so it doesn't look plain and simple.

This bright floral print pom pom 2 piece is definitely a trendsetter from Lilu fashion! Everyone is loving the pom pom detail on 2 pieces and shorts this summer and this one seriously does not disappoint! The forest floral print just gives it the summery feel it needs and is one of my favourite types of prints at the moment.

I am loving Lilu's kimono collection this season, they have really caught my eye, especially with these two kimonos! I love the black tassle look at the bottom of kimonos as it's such a unique look and is really sleek. I am obsessed with black kimonos but feel as though it's not summery enough so this kimono is perfect as it has a beautiful, elegant print of big flowers all around it which just looks absolutely stunning! The second kimono is this oversized green kimono. I wasn't so keen of the oversized look at first but the print changed my mind completely and now I seriously want it! It can be paired with so many outfits - a tee and shorts, a bodycon dress for an evening look, and even worn as a jacket to keep you warm.

Lastly is this gorgeous light floral print playsuit with a sheer black lining. I think the playsuit speaks for itself - it's cute and pretty, yet sexy with the added lining and perfect for all occasions.

Make sure you check out Lilu fashion at www.liluonline.com and always look at their new collection and they are on top right now!

I thought I would show you some of my favourite shorts to wear this summer and how I styled them to create a casual, comfy look for those long, hot summer days where all you want to do is chill and you don't really fancy dressing up! I'm definitely more of a shorts girl than a skirt girl; just because they are so much more comfortable and easy to wear.
