Sorry I have been a bit quiet on the blogging front! I am currently back home in the UK. I am always posting on my Instagram though! So please feel free to check me out www.instagram.com/_shoesandshades_

I thought I would blog about some of my favourite outfits at the moment. As you may of guessed I love as #ootd selfie :)...

Living in Singapore this top is perfect as it has an opening on one side so its nice and cool plus I like long tops when I wear gym leggings. Very comfy look! I would pair it with some slides on trainers.

Athleisure Trend is on fire!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

'Athleisure' trend is making an appearance with a lot of brands recently, adding active wear and mixing it with street style too. For me this is a such good news! Living in the tropics and staying cool doesn't always agree when it comes to Fashion. I pretty much spend most of my days in gym leggings and sports top as obviously they are made to be worn when sweating! 

My favourite 'Athleisure' style at the moment is putting together leggings, in particular the mesh look leggings, with different trainers and handbags. I thought I would put together a couple of my favourites:

Outfit 1

Top- ASOS

Leggings- H&M

Do you have these in an Size 8 Please?

The struggle is real! I was so excited to explore the many shops here in Singapore. You may be able to tell 'Shoes' are one of my favourites! But a lot of shops here only go up to a size 7! 

I wanted to share some stores I have found that 
stock above a 'Size 7'. 

So here they are...

Charles and Keith

This store is amazing! They have so many different styles and best of all, the prices are great. You can get a pair of nice heeled sandals for $50!! How good is that? They also do amazing bags to match and gorgeous statement jewellery. My idea of heaven!

Inuovo

These sandals are a dream! Metallic, wedged and so comfy :). They come in different colours and as you know when I find a good fit I have to get them in every colour. So I am sure my collection will keep growing. You can get these from Robinson Department Store.

Swimwear Shopping!

Mix & Match

My motto is 'It's all about the fit'

 I absolutely love swimwear but struggle sometimes to find a bikini to fit well both on the top and bottom. Similar for swimsuits finding a good comfortable fit! 

As you would of seen from my 'Please fit...' blog: 

Please Fit...

I have a bigger bottom half, some brands do not sell bikini top and bottoms separately, meaning you can't buy a smaller top and a bigger bottom or vice versa in one range. This has to be made essential! We are all different shapes and sizes but we should all be able to have options! Below are my favourite companies that are amazing for this:

NEXT

 Monochrome Dream

This arrived this morning : )

The material of this bikini is so nice and has a good stretch to it. I love the gold clasp detail on the back. Cannot wait to wear it!

As you can see from the below link, you can buy the tops and the bottoms individually which makes life a lot easier. Plus they do individual cup sizes too. 

Get Yours Here:

Colour Block Bikini

ASOS




I LOVE ASOS!!!

It is literally my lifesaver. There are so many amazing brands and especially their own range!

Monochrome seems to be appearing everywhere at the moment. I bought a South Beach bikini which I absolutely love, but I managed to ruin the bottoms due to wearing my tie dye sarong (purchased from a market in Thailand) and the ink coming off on to my white bottoms 
:(. As you can imagine, I wasn't best pleased. The top was white with black outline. So I thought why not just buy a plain black bikini bottom that will go with any top! This is why I love ASOS as you can buy separates. Also in the above picture I recently purchased the monochrome sarong from South Beach which I LOVE! 

Find It Here:
South Beach Geo Print Sarong Dress

It says it's currently out of stock right now, but they have a play suit:

Rose Gold Obsessed

Everything Rosey

I just can't get enough of Rose Gold/Copper at the moment, I fell in love with the colour about a year ago and now it seems to be everywhere!

Here are few of my favourites...

This is from West Elm website but is no longer available! 

Here is one similar:

http://www.artisanti.com/marlowe-rose-gold-lantern---small-15059-p.asp

This is from a garden centre in the UK it came with a glass cover for the middle which I have taken out and put in an ikea candle. 

Find one similar here:

The rose gold sandals are Havaianas. 

I got mine from here:

Please fit....

5ft 11 and finding the perfect fit jeans...

The struggle is real, being 5ft 11 and finding long enough jeans!

Plus having a curvier bottom half skinny jeans become an issue! Don't get me wrong there is a lot more available now than previous but I still feel you should be able to walk into a number of shops and there be petite, tall, curvier ranges to cater to everyone. I feel online seems to have the best options to cater for most.

I would say my top shops/online for the perfect fit and length jeans are:

Topshop

The great thing about Topshop Jeans is that they do the same style jeans in so many colours! For me this is important, once I find a fit I want it in every pattern colour going! The best style jean is the one I am wearing in the above picture  'JONI'  they have a stretch in them so when wearing a skinny jean you don't feel like your circulation is being cut off! The length I chose is L34. Highly recommend!!!!
