London Fashion Week SS15 Day 4

Only 2 more days left for me to catch up on, so lets crack on with day 4!!

Antonio Berardi



This beautifully elegant collection features a divine mix of soft satin's and floaty chiffons. I particularly like the red asymmetric colouring on the ivory suit.

Mother of Pearl



Such simple cuts but with added embellishments. The blue piping along the hem of that floral checked mini skirt is so very cute.

Roksanda


Vibrant prints with folds of block colour. The black and navy colour combo making an appearance again!

Erdem


Action Man meets Little House on the Prairie with long country dresses in dark forest prints, including one in a feathery camouflage.

Michael van der Ham


This is such a perfect collection, I loved every single piece, it was really hard just picking a few to put up. Layered textures in a variety of patterns nicely combined together without looking too 'all over the shop'. The double patterned long jackets might just be my favourites.

Burberry Prorsum



Ombré chiffon and funked up denim jackets. The tulle tie waists are a nice different touch.

Christopher Kane


Silky satins in sultry tones. I wish I could go back to prom and wear that blue full skirted slightly peplum dress.

Huishan Zhang

More pretty prom style dresses with great little twists - like the twist in the waist line, or the double collars. The washed out colours are fresh and Spring ready.

Peter Pilotto



Fun futuristic prints in bright bolds and shiny metallics. I'm sure we'll be seeing a few of these around when festival fever strikes.

Giles


Cape dresses in light fabrics and pixelated tiger prints. I adore the striped suit in a unique colour combination of cream and dusty pink and matching shoes!

Tom Ford


Glam rockers at the office. The tight trousers with big bell bottoms give a super slim silhouette. The shimmering outfits show they're ready to party once business has been dealt with.

So what did you think of day 4? Please remember these are just my personal picks but I'd love to hear what you thought :)

Be sure to check out my take on day 1, day 2 and day 3. And don't forget to come back for day 5!

Best Dressed at the 2013 TV Baftas

Last night saw the celebration of Great British Television with this years BAFTA's. Out came the Brits in full force showing they know how to look glamorous even in those high winds...well, most of them. So here's my list of the best dressed celebs on the red carpet last night.

1. Sienna Miller
To kick things off we have British actress Sienna Miller in a very cute skater dress by British designer Matthew Williamson. This is definitely something I would wear.

2. Amy Nuttall
I absolutely love this evergreen colour on Amy, it compliments her red hair so perfectly. The woven detail of her dress gives her curves in all the right places.

3. Jodie Whittaker
Jodie looks so sweet in this delicately detailed dress matched with an understated updo and black satin clutch.

4. Myanna Buring
Looking gorgeous in green, Myanna shows some skin in this cutout design. I love the contrast of the fitted body with the oversized sleeves.

5. Helen McCrory
Helen has gone for a big monochrome print but paired it nicely with some laid back pockets and a loose ponytail.

Sheridan Smith
I love this look because it's slightly different. The satin material gives it an elegantness to it, but the leopard print adds a bit of fun!

7. Tamsin Greig
As a big Greenwing fan, I am very excited to feature not one, but two cast members from the hit Channel 4 show. Here's the first, Tamsin Greig. Wearing this delicious royal blue gown that just skims her slender frame. No need for over the top jewellery, just some patriotic footwear and a cheeky grin.

8. Emma Samms
Another monochrome look, this time in polka dots. The bejewelled embellishment adds some glitz to a somewhat common print.

9. Lucy Watson
It can sometimes be quite difficult to pull off wearing a long white dress without looking like a bride, but Lucy has managed it with her minimised hair and jewellery.

10. Olivia Colman
Introducing Greenwing lady number 2! Here's Olivia Colman looking more glamorous than we've ever seen her before. It's great to see her finally getting the recognition she deserves, I am a massive fan and she's such an amazing actress (you've all watched Broadchurch, right?). She gone for a classic Westwood style dress and has matched the roughly sewn gown with a messed up barnet.

11. Miranda Hart
Yet another monochrome look on the red carpet, this time from comedy Queen, Miranda Hart. All it takes is a statement printed blazer and some jewelled flats to make a stylish outfit. I love the 60's feel from the geometric print.

Gatsby Girls
The Great Gatsby hasn't even hit our screens yet but these Brits have already adopted the 1920's fashion trend which is sure to take the nation by storm once more just like that first episode of Downton Abbey when we suddenly all added the 'Lady' prefix to our names. Expect lots of black & gold, tiered skirts and intricate beading.

Lacey Ladies
The Great Gatsby has also brought back delicate lace all in neutral tones in all sorts of designs, whether its sleek and sexy or girly and floaty, expect to see a lot more of it!

If you're looking to add some new pieces to your wardrobe but can't afford to hit the high street, why not pop along to this awesome Swap Shop in Hackney this coming Saturday!!
Just bring your £5 entrance fee and any clothes you no longer wear and take home something a little different. You can also get your nails done at one of the stalls in between browsing the rails!

Thanks for reading, I'll be back soon with a new outfit post. Be sure to like my Facebook Page, I'll be doing an exclusive giveaway once the page reaches 100 likes!!

Human Union Jack

Hello! Today's look is from the Jubilee a few weeks ago. I decided I would be the Union Jack for a day!
My navy sailor top I bought from a little stall at Spitalfields Market last year. Doesn't it just scream Captain Charghley? The stripey shorts I bought from a little vintage shop in Paris for 2 Euro!! You may remember me mentioning this on my post 2 Days In Paris. I combined these with navy tights and red high top Converse. We went to a really cute Jubilee street party near Dollis Hill set up by my friend Emily. She writes a little blog herself over at LieDownAndLetMeLoveYou. She organised an amazing party bringing together the community. Well done Emily, so proud of you!!

This morning I received the "One Lovely Blogger" award from Valerie Angel over at BeautyFASH. I want to thank Valerie so much for picking me as one of her 15! This now means that I must pick my 15 favourite blogs who will all receive this "One Lovely Blogger" award from me. I shall be scouring the blogs tonight and will publish the list tomorrow, so keep an eye out as it could be you!!

Thanks for reading and thanks to everyone for the hypes/votes/comments over on my Lookbook and Chictopia pages!! Don't forget to check out my eBay!! Will be back again tomorrow!

I'm Back! (Again - Sorry!!)

Hello guys. Sorry for the lack of posts, uni is getting kind of crazy what with it being my final year. Instead of the usual celebrity updates, I'm going to just use my Lookbook as its quick and easy to do everyday. It also means I get to show off my wardrobe. I am still up for doing 1 or 2 requests, so if you've spotted someone wearing something you absolutely NEED on a smaller budget, just email me a photo of the person to charlotte.olivia.ellis@hotmail.co.uk and I'll do my best to hunt down a cheaper version.

Here's my Lookbook entry from yesterday!








With the British weather pouring down in London yesterday, I decided on a feminine English Gentleman look. It doesn't get more Gentlemanly than brogues and braces, both of which are from Primark. The braces are actually attached to the grey polka dot shorts. My blazer is from H&M and features elbow pads. I adore this blazer as its so easy and comfortable to wear and the berry colour has been very popular all through A/W. The denim shirt is from Matalan and is finished off with a pearly bow brooch; a gift from my very dear friend Jess. Oh! And not forgetting the denim bow headband, also from Primark.

Please feel free to leave any comments, I would love to know what you think and how you would've worn this differently. Thanks!!
