Wearing Basics- Cos White Shirt

COS White Shirt, River Island Camel Culottes, and Zara Ankle Boots.

Hello Everyone Hope you are all having a good week so far. This is going to be the first in my Wearing Basics Series, and I thought I would start off with one of my faves- The White Shirt. One of my go-to places for a White Shirt is COS. If your not familiar with the brand, then I am not surprised because I only stumbled across them the beginning of last year when I was in London and then went back up North and found the nearest is in Manchester Selfridges as a concessesion. If you do manage to find one or feel brave enough to buy on line, I would definitely give them a go. The one I am wearing is called ‘The Shirt with the voluminous back’ I like how it is as it is a little bit different then the average white shirt. It has great detail.

The White shirt is a superb basic to have in your wardrobe as you can style in so many different ways, so if you spend a bit extra on a quality piece then cost per wear it works out to be a ‘saving’!! Maybe at some point in the future I will share how many ways I have found to style it. I am wearing the shirt this time with my faithful River Island Camel Culottes which I picked up last summer and my Zara Ankle boots, which I have to admit I am getting sooo bored of wearing boots and are just itching to crack out my NEW backless Loafers.

Let me know in the comments below whether you like a good White Shirt and what you will be wearing yours with? Have a nosey at some other White Shirts that I like.

Hello Hall Styling

Hello,

I used to write the for the blog NaybeautyMUA, but have found it increasingly difficult to keep Richards and Mine going. So its with a heavy heart that I let NaybeautyMUA go. If you have been following my blog many thanks for your comments and readership, its much appreciated.

Forever 21 Thank you Goodbye, Zara Oversized Blazer, High Waisted Jeans, Glitter Socks and Clarkes Brogue Shoes.

If you have been following me on my social media platforms (see below) you would have noticed that I have been very quiet of late. I decided to have a complete Social Media Detox while re-branding our whole website and thought I would see how long I could go without it. So far I am on week three and I honestly don’t miss it and found I really could live without it. We all know though that its not enough now in business just to have a website you also need to be present for customer interaction too on social media channels and thats why I will be keeping up with my social media channels but instead of being ‘mine’ they will become the businesses. If you do follow me, you do not have to do anything you will just notice a name change!!.

With that in mind, I have an EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT to make!! I have decided to collaborate with my darling husband and migrate my blog over to his website Richard Hall Styling. As he has a Blog on his website for the business that I was also writing for, it made sense for me to start to put them together. If you have been following me for a while, you will know that my husband Richard and myself have a salon in Lancashire. Richard is the Hair Stylist and Colour Technician and I am the Makeup Artist and Stylist. We thought since I have gone back to work in the salon permanently, it made sense instead of working independently to join forces together. So I still get the joy of writing, videoing and photographing but incorporate the salon feel and vibe at the same time. You will still find Hair, Makeup Tutorials, Hauls and Vlogs. Nothing has really changed just my name and domain.

So I say a fond farewell to NaybeautyMUA and Hello Hall Styling! Please find below all my new social media channels and check out Richard and my NEW Intro Video to our YouTube Channel.

Pleated Trousers For Spring

Topshop Matte Plisse Trousers, Converse Hi Tops,All Saints Bales Leather Jacket and JDY Black Polarneck.

Pleated Trousers

I know Spring talk already, but with the latest sunny spells we have been having in the UK. My mind has been turned to the excitement of all things new in nature and style. Its getting to that tricky transitional stage where I don’t want to buy anything new, so I have been re-shopping my own wardrobe to find new pieces again!. The pleated trousers that you see in the pictures were a panic buy when I had realized the week of a award ceremony that I had NOTHING to wear. I tore around our local TOPSHOP in a complete tizz and saw these and thought ‘O.k I can do something with this’ and lo and behold they have become a firm favorite in my wardrobe. Whether you are wanting to dress them up (see here in my vlog) or how I have styled them casually with a pair of Cons and a leather jacket. Sometimes these things are just meant to be!.

Shop my look below for inspiration.

Thanks for reading guys and look out for Thursday when my BIG new Hair reveal video. In the meantime, the children are on half term so I will be a bit MIA. You can keep up to date by clicking on any of the links below.

I would love it if you would check out my social media. Click on the links below and I will see you there!.

The Bag Lady Look

Zara Tie dye accordion lace skirt, Topshop Khaki Jumper, All Saints Bales Leather Jacket and New Look Biker Boots.

Hey Everyone, I hope you have had a good weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead. If you have been reading my blog for a while you will remember this skirt back in August 2016, when I picked it up from Zara. I thought this would be a good illustration to show what works for your body shape, aaannnd what doesn’t. I love Maxi skirts, FACT- Maxi skirts do not love me. I know its sad, but if you look at the difference from my last blog post HERE you will see how wearing different styles can and cannot suit you. I am a Emotional dresser. When I wake up in the morning, I decide what I am going to wear to how I am feeling that day. I first realized I was like this when I was 19 years old. Back then I was working at TOPSHOP and part of being a Brand Manager, you had to work at other Stores to help out. I was sent to Manchester Trafford Center store, where I met Sophie. She was 26 years old and had a eccentric sense of dress. One day she was a Skater girl, next day she was Posh spice, then Boho chick with braided locks and a pair of Birken stocks to boot!! I just thought, ‘that is how I like to dress’ and from then on I have carried on being a Chameleon with my dress sense, not really following trends, but on what suits my body shape and how I feel on the day. Which is very detrimental to my bank balance, but hey I enjoy it.

So back to the outfit at hand, today I was feeling slightly Boho with a sniff of Biker chick with my boots and leather Jacket. Oh and the snugly Jumper cause its FREEZING!! As you can see Maxi skirts instantly add width to the hips and the thick long Jumper hides my curves and makes my shoulders look larger. Do I care? Not a jot, because I was feeling it at the time, but it may be the last time I wear it…for now!

Do you have items in your wardrobe that you feel dont suit you, but wear any way? Let me know in the comments below, as I would love to know your thoughts.

Feeling Smarcasual

Public Desire Alona OTK, Levis 711 Jeans, Zara Grey Hoody, Isabel Marant Igor Jacket and New Look Grey

On a recent trip to the big smoke (London baby) It was freezing and I was only there for a night so had packed lightly. I decided the only way to keep warm was to put on every piece of clothing I had bought with me. This is where I fell into the smarcasual category teaming my snuggly warm grey hoody and a super smart Isabel Marant Igor Jacket together with my Public Desire Alona OTK Boots for extra warmth and a matched made. It kept me super warm during my swift trip to London and to boot got some good quick pics. I love it when a outfit comes together out of necessity and it proves how when you shop savvy by buying quality, minimal pieces that in your wardrobe you are able to throw 99.9% of your stuff together and it should work perfectly. In next weeks vlog you will see what I was doing in London in the first place, I can tell you it was interesting.

Sorry this is short and sweet today but I will be back on Friday with a great video for you. Would you wear a hoody and blazer together? Let me know in the comments below.

Layering Is The Word

Isabel Marant Igor Single Breasted Wool-Blend Jacket, Topshop Skinny Ribbed Turtleneck, Topshop Blue Oversized Shirt, 7ForAll Mankind and Zara Ankle Boots.

Its certainly true that Winter is great for layering and it is a must to keep from frostbite. Its skys the limit on how much you can and with what you can layer with. Here I present my favorite combo at the moment Skinny Ribbed polarneck, Longline shirt, sometimes a long cardy but today I threw on just a blazer. What a error as I step out into the morning air and was greeted with -1c !! Why did I choose today not to crack out the cardy. Let me get back to THE BLAZER not just any blazer, my baby of the moment Isabel Marant Charcoal grey Igor Single Breasted Blazer. I chose it because its classic in every sense of the word. From the cut, material (Wool- Blend) its just a piece that will never date and I believe its worth it, if you can just save up that bit extra, for longer. I got this one from MatchesFashion.com for a absolute steal. Its still available so if you fancy dipping your toe into a Wool-Blended, fierce tailoring this season get your paws on this one and wear it again and again.

Why not take a gander at my look. Sadly the shirt, Grey turtle neck and boots are last year so I have pop in a couple that are similar.

Shades Of Grey

New Look Grey Coat, Jigsaw Sculpted Sleeve sweater, 7 for All Mankind Jeans and Carvela Court Shoes.

Sale shopping I find stressful. There I said it. I DO NOT like sale shopping. Rails upon rails to scour through, fills me full of dread. I haven’t always felt this way, there used to be a time where I would love nothing better than a good old Sale. The reason I don’t now, is for the last 3 years I have had a little appendage with me, that DOES NOT like shopping at all and makes the whole experience excruciating. Now you will normally find me in my safe habitat in the evenings, on my laptop,and the children in bed. I will scour the internet looking for bargains from my favorite labels. That’s how things normally go but on Boxing day I stepped out of my comfort zone on a promise of a Krispy Kreme by my eldest daughter who was desperate to spend her wages from working in the salon over the Christmas period.What can I say, Im easily persuaded!.

I was totally focused on helping her choose the pieces she wanted to add to her wardrobe, until I was side lined by this gorgeous Grey Longline coat. I instantly snapped it up as it was exactly what I had been looking for, for a while at a great price. A Grey coat is one of those staples items that just goes with everything. Put it with a great pair of denim and white trainers or stick it with a pair of leather ankle boots and a pair of culottes and its a match made. Unfortunately I wasn’t the only one that picked up this bargain and they have completely sold out. Have no fear I have trolled the net and found some great offers for all budgets, check them out below.

I look forward to seeing you all on Friday.

Take Care,

Nay x
