River Island Camel Culottes,Zara White Shirt,All Saints Leather Jacket,Zara Studded Pumps and Paul Costello
I will be the first to admit to being a little on the short side the thought of wearing a ankle grazing pant fills me with dread. Until I came across these Camel coloured Culottes from River Island. The soft fabric,the billowing leg,the beautiful camel colour just had me. These trousers are so comfy and versatile I knew they were going to be a key piece to my wardrobe.
I thought if you were like me and want to get the most out of the items you purchase then I wanted to share the Three ways I have styled these culottes. Takes you from comfy casual to work then to hot mama look for a evening out.
My first choice would be something I would wear for work, out for drinks or a shopping trip.

With Spring now banging at the door the shade Pink and a SKIRT has begun to creep back into my Wardrobe. The shade Pink was always a colour I feared most when growing up. I was always fighting the cause of not being a girly girl, and was more into climbing trees and making ropes swings, so PINK to me, was just not doing it for me. Then fast forward to my wedding. Here I was going to make one of the most important decisions of my life, No, not saying YES that was a given (he is a Hairdresser, what is there not to love) but what will be my colour theme for the up and coming nuptials. There it was winking at me and not to be the one to follow the crowd I blurted out “its going to be PINK.” My florist just starred, and said “but Pink hasn’t been done for years” I knew then I had made the right choice.
Back to the present and last summer I purchased this little Gem from George @Asda. When Autumn arrived I stored it away as lace always comes around every Spring/Summer, I knew it was a keeper. So here we are and low and behold Pink is back, and so is Lace. With this in mind I thought I would put together 3 ways of wearing this great skirt.

It came to my attention recently that a pair of good black jeans is a staple in anyone’s wardrobe. My quest for the ideal black Jean was not going well is an understatement! Since having my children my body shape has changed considerably. With that in mind I have had to really think about what style I need to get. So here is my dilemma I have skinny legs, small hips but I have a jelly belly! I’m not ashamed to admit that my stomach could do with a little attention. I have had three children and three C-Sections in the last eight years. What can I say it’s a work in progress, but for now it’s with me and I have to take it into consideration when purchasing any of my clothes to make sure they work for me.
The Hunt For The Best Jeans Ever
Over the last few years I have bought three pairs of Black Jeans and each time they loose their shape or fade and they are always so long! Even when I have bought a 30 ins length they are still a good 3 ins too long. So after wasting all that money I decided enough is enough I will spend a little more and get something that will last. This is where I turn too a brand that I have been wearing for over 20 years. It is one of my favourite Jeans maker, Levis. Over the years Levi always seems to evolve and move with the fast pace of fashion and keep bringing great pieces over, and over again. I was visiting Manchester and decided today would be the day to take the plunge. Now by no stretch of the imagination this is not a eye watering sum of money, but for me to splurge any amount on myself when you have a family is hard to curb the ‘mum guilt’.
Found Best Jeans Ever
When I tried on the Jeans I knew that these were the one, Levis 711 Skinny Jeans. They are tight but comfy, stretchy but when you bend there are no imprints left in the knees. The material is soft and thick and very robust. They flatter and hold all day long. The science bit is the material contains 1% Elastane. Elastane is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. Elastane thus is a prerequisite for fashionable or functional apparel such as supportive underwear which is intended to cling to the body, while at the same time remaining comfortable. So we could say that these Jeans are like a Spandex for your bottom, thighs and legs!!. They truly are “The Best Jeans Ever”. If that wasn’t enough, Levi’s also offer a in house alterations service. So my jeans could be fitted to my ideal leg length.
Styling My Levi’s
I have styled my Levis four different ways to show how versatile these Jeans are, which in turn makes them such an essential item in your wardrobe. Let the styling BEGIN!
