HOW TO ROCK VINTAGE GLAMOUR THIS NEW YEARS EVE

WHETHER YOU'RE CELEBRATING IN OR OUT THIS YEAR (YOU) THE FABULOUS FASHIONISTA MUST START 2017 WITH A GIGANTIC STYLE BANG. HERE IS A BIG 'HOW TO' ON STYLING YOURSELF FABULOUS.

 JUST SIMPLY THINK BIG. EMBRACE ELEMENTS OF BIG SEQUINS. BIG METALLICS. BIG PLATFORMS. BIG FLARES. BIG ACCESSORIES. BIG JEWELLERY. BIG MAKEUP. BIG HAIR (AFROS YAASSS) AND A BIG FUN ATTITUDE. THINK ALONG THE LINES OF NEW YORK STUDIO 64, THE BIG FEEL GOOD ERA, BIG MIRROR BALLS, STROBE LIGHTS, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER AND DRESS LIKE YOU'RE ABOUT TO HIT THE BEST DISCO NIGHTCLUB OF YOUR LIFE (BUT ACTUALLY HEADING DOWN TO THE LOCAL PUB!). 

AS WE KNOW THE SEVENTIES WAS ALL ABOUT UNLEASHING YOUR INNER SOUL. SELF EXPRESSION WAS HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY THE BIG HIPPY MOVEMENT, WITH A FLARING CULTURE THAT SWEPT THE NATION.  JEWELLERY LIKE THESE GROOVY GOLD GIGANTIC HOOPS ARE A PERFECT WAY TO SHINE YOUR OWN INNER PERSONALITY, WHILST OF COURSE LOOKING AND FEELING SUPER DUPER FABULOUS ON THAT DANCE FLOOR. 

'DON'T WORRY IF THEY DON'T GET YOUR STYLE,  POSITIVITY, INNER HAPPINESS AND FLARE....'

TALKING OF SUPER DUPER! HOW FRIGGING AMAZING IS THIS LIGHT REFLECTING GOLD BLOUSE (YAAAS LIGHT REFLECTING!!). GOLDIE HAS ENOUGH BLING TO LIGHT THE WHOLE BLEEDING ROOM. YOU'LL DEFINITELY BE OOZING A BIG GOLD STATEMENT WHILST WEARING THIS DUDE! MADE UP OF TINY ICKLE  GOLD SEQUINS, THIS BLOUSE LITERALLY BOUNCES OUT OF MY WARDROBE (LIKE CLOCKWORK) EVERY YEAR. 

BLOUSE | MINT VINTAGE, (SIMILAR HERE, AND HERE, AND HERE, SAME VIBE HERE, AND HERE) JEANS | MINT VINTAGE, (SIMILAR HERE, AND HERE, AND HERE, AND TONS OF VINTAGE DENIM HERE), BOOTS | HAIGHT STREET, SIMILAR HERE | BAG | HERE, SUNNIES | MINT VINTAGE (SIMILAR HERE AND HERE, RED GLOSS | HERE. 

THE HIGH WAIST, CROP IN LENGTH, SUBTLE FLARE AND LIGHT WASH DETAILS ON THE ORIGINAL DENIM LEVI BABIES, REALLY DO THE TRICK OF ALLOWING THE REGULAR PAIR OF JEANS TO BECOME EXTRA FUN AND FABULOUS. I JUST LOVE HOW THE SOFT PALE BLUE COLOUR CONTRAST AGAINST THE BLING OF THE STRONG BLACK AND GOLD. 

'YOU ARE FABULOUS'

METALLIC BOOTS ARE SO HOT ON THE HIGH STREET RIGHT NOW (AND INCLUDED IN MY PREVIOUS WINTER BOOT POST HERE) AND I COULD OF EASILY OPTED TO STYLE THIS LOOK WITH THE VIBRANT TEXTURE, BUT MY PEEP TOE/HEEL SOFT MODERN BOOTS ARE THE COMFIEST LITTLE BOOTIES ANY LASS CAN ASK FOR.  IF I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF 'THEM NIGHTS' (A LONG NIGHT OF HARDCORE DODGY DISCO DANCING) A COMFORTABLE BAD BOY BOOT IS ALL I'LL EVER REACH FOR. I MEAN YOU JUST CAN'T BLOODY GO WRONG WITH AN ICONIC TRUSTY 'BLACK BOOT' CAN YOU. 

ENHANCING YOUR LOOK EVEN MORE YOU CAN GO FOR A POP OF ART HAND ACCESSORY, LIKE THIS RED OVERSIZED LIPSTICK BAG OR ROCK THE SHINY MIRRORED SUNGLASSES. AGAIN COMPLETELY TICKING THE QUIRKY YET FUN BOX (I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS BIRTHDAY GIFTED BAG, THANKS NAT!).

'CHALLENGE STEROTYPES'

THERE YOU HAVE A NEW YEAR'S EVE SASSY STYLE UP FOR YA. I'M BOLDLY BASICALLY SAYING I DON'T TAKE MYSELF TOO BLOODY SERIOUSLY, I HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO DRESS LIKE ME (AGAINST THE 'WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WEARING' STARES), RATHER THAN THEM AND I TRULY ACCEPT WHO I AM...WHY NOT START THE NEW YEAR WITH A BIG DRAMATIC STYLE BANG...BECAUSE YOU ARE FABULOUS.....

WISHING YOU A SPARKLY NEW YEAR!
