Weekend inspiration


HELLO weekend! 
It's Friday :) has everyone found an outfit for the weekend? If you need some tips I've got you covered. I had a look around Top Ryde City this week, pulling together new looks for coming post's, I must say the centre is looking bright! 
I've pulled together some of my inspiration picks for the weekend ahead and really any spring night out.


Purple fever 
I went a little purple crazy. Ask yourself, when was the last time you wore purple? Purple has never stood out to me, until this season. It's a primary colour I'm seeing in shoes, bags, jewellery and prints, purple is taking over and I am loving it. I've pulled a great range of purple pastel pieces from Betts and Diva, as well as a retro floral print dress from one of my favourite dress stores in the centre, Sheike. If you have never experimented with purple before, now is the time to see how it works. You will be surprised at the way it compliments this seasons styles.
TIP: Colour theory tells us that purple conveys feelings of wealth and extravagance. 









Pop's of neon
A lot of people have a fear of neon, so here are some great inexpensive neon looks I've found in the centre. Neon yellow is definitely one of my favourite shades, because it looks so great on all colours and skin tones. These Betts wedges with neon outline are a unique twist on a nude shoe, every girl should own a pair. LOVE THEM! 
TIP: Nude shoes make everyone's legs look elongated. 



The celebrity bandage dress
Made famous by Herve Leger, the bandage dress is a style icon, that won't soon disappear. It is the perfect fitting dress to enhance all the best parts of a woman's shape. Dollhouse in the centre are renowned for their MEGA range of bandage dresses. I used a plain backless navy bandage dress for this look and went all out on neon accessories. Bandage dresses create a wow factor on their own, but a statement necklace takes out the predictability of the look, whilst giving it a bit more personality. All jewellery used is Diva and shoes are Betts.
TIP: When shopping for bandage dresses, if you're scared of your curves choose a dark colour such as Navy or Black to slim your lines.



Skulls, spikes and studs.
If you were to look in my personal wardrobe, you would find my shoes, jackets, shorts & tops (basically everything) covered in a ridiculous amount of studs, skulls and spikes. There is something edgy about putting on a formal or typically girlie dress and teaming it with a spiked boot or bracelet. You can find these spiked and skulled accessories (pictured) at Diva. Available in a massive range of colours, they are great investment pieces that i promise once purchased, you will wear to death.
TIP: Opt for brightly coloured skulls & studs to swap the s&m look for youthful rebellion.






Have a Great weekend and follow us on Facebook for more updates and shopping finds.
