7 Days of Summer Style Challenge – Accessories

By laurahenshaw in 7 Days of Summer, Accessorizes on Friday 10th May, 2013

We love the 7 Days of Summer Challenge pics you’ve uploaded so far featuring stripes and floral prints. I’ve picked up plenty of style inspiration myself!

The theme of today’s style challenge is…accessories. I’m always amazed at how a statement necklace or floral scarf can completely transform a plain tee so I thought I’d show you how to easily accessorise this F&F Striped Pocket T-Shirt. Of course you don’t have to wear all of these accessories at the same time but adding one or two can give your look a stylish finishing touch. These accessories are on-trend for summer too!

F&F Gold Aviator Sunglasses, £5. F&F Embellished Denim Slouch Bag, £12.50. F&F Striped Pocket T-Shirt, £5. F&F Macramé Trim Straw Trilby Hat, £5. F&F Two Tone Expanding Strap Watch, £14.

If you’ve not had a go at our Style Challenge yet, there are still 4 days left – that’s 4 more chances to win a £75 voucher!

We’ve absolutely fallen in love with this Bamboo Straw Barrel Bag from our F&F Limited Edition range. The bamboo effect is really on trend this season and looks great paired with the bright stripes. Try teaming it with a fresh white boho style dress and denim jacket or with tailored crops and a chiffon blouse for a more polished look. The perfect summer accessory to give any look a splash of colour!

The Only Way is Ella!

By saraferrity in Accessorizes, Brands, Celebrity, Get the look on Monday 16th April, 2012

I’m so excited about the latest series of The Only Way is Essex that started this Sunday! It’s inspired me to give myself a bit of a style makeover this week (not on the same scale as the lovely Arg)….lashings of fake tan, manicured nails, fake lashes and of course very, very high heels!

Now I’m not making quite so much moolah as the TOWIE gang, but who cares about designer shoes when you’ve got Ella – celeb style for a fraction of the price!

 


More so than most of her co-stars Sam Faiers loves her denims and what could be more Essex than a white pair of skinny jeans? The owner of her own clothing boutique it’s safe to say Sam know what suits her, so I can guarantee she already knows that this coral top will work well against a tan (real or fake). Team with a pair of gorgeous Ella platform heels for a touch of glamour!

The lovely Lydia Bright is probably the most demure cast member and the one with the most unique (and arguably best) sense of style. Lydia loves to experiment with clothes from different decades so we thought this 70s style spot print halter neck dress would be right up her alley. Keeping it classy a pair of Ella cream peep toes to finish the look!

F&F Coral Rolled up sleeve zip back top £14.00 , F&F Belted straight leg jeans £16.00 , Ella Shoes Patent peep toe platform shoe £22.00

F&F Limited Edition Spot print halterneck maxi dress £40.00 , Ella Shoes Patent peep toe platform shoe £22.00 ,

Lauren Goodger is probably the most well known of the bunch and boy does that girl love a pair of leggings! Comfortable and form-fitting, leggings are a wardrobe must-have! Dress them up or down leggings work just as well in the gym as they do on a night out! If like Lauren you’re conscious of your figure then add a longer top with a bit of volume like this orange vest to balance your figure. Let your shoes do the talking with these Ella leopard print platforms – you’ll be the envy of Essex!

Chloe Simms has a very specific style – ladylike with a touch of Essex glamour! This classic figure hugging dress wouldn’t look out of place in Chloe’s wardrobe and the bold black and white vertical block pattern keeps this looking modern! We all know those Essex girls love a bit of animal print and these Ella snakeskin platforms would no doubt go down a treat!

F&F Zip pocket vest £12.00 , F&F Leggings £6.00 , Ella Shoes Animal print platform peep toe shoe £25.00

F&F Limited Edition Colour block belted shift dress £28.00 , Ella Shoes Snakeskin platform court shoe £25.00


Stay REEM Lifestyled readers!

 

 

 

 


Wear Green To Be Seen

By Zarah Harrison in Accessorizes, Brands on Monday 13th February, 2012

There is something about the colour green that I love, always have; as soon as I put something on that’s green I instantly feel happier.
Now with this season being all about bold colours and colour blocking, there’s plenty of opportunity to use green, particularly as a contrasting colour. It works with yellow, coral pink, blue… you name it and of course with the more classic darker colours like black and grey if you want a smarter, more classic look.
I’ve picked out a few of my favourite’s here that are really easy to wear and to accessorise. Coloured jeans are really in right now; these ones are very flattering as they are a skinny fit. You could honestly wear them with anything but here I’ve teamed them up with a honey coloured pussy bow blouse (a big trend at the moment) and dress them up with these gorgeous Ella platform stilettos. You could really strut your stuff dressed like this; cool but understated.

Pussy bow blouse £14, Green coloured skinny jeans £16, Ella shoes peet toe stiletto with corsage £25

I love this dress and it’s really flattering, nipping in at the waist giving a very feminine shape.  Accessorised with a glitzy or sparkly belt would work really well with this and would be great to wear to a wedding or a fancy evening do with a pair of killer black stilettos. Do your hair in a bee-hive if you can, it’ll add even more glamour to the look. But if you put a chunky black belt on this, add a tailored jacket, thick black tights and a heeled ankle boot; this would transform into the perfect office outfit. A very versatile little number!

Belted green ponte shift dress £22, Roll sleeve blazer £22,  F&F signature luxury wool tights £6, Heeled ankle boot £18, Large lace clutch bag £8, Ella shoes patent peep toe platform shoe £22

Boat necked tops are very flattering and this soft cotton one is the kind of thing you can wear over a pair of skinny jeans for a casual look. Or you can dress it up with a simple black pencil skirt, dark tights and a pair black leather peep toe court shoes. Opt for chevron pattern tights and some chunky beaded necklaces to give extra impact to the outfit!

Boat neck top £4, F&F ponte skirt £10,  Chevron pattern tights £3.50, Moda in Pelle embellished black leather peep toe court shoe £89.95, Large suedette buckle waist belt £5

Do you dare to be different? This brightly coloured scoop neck top is not for the shy wall flower however, it’s a fantastic piece for rocking the bold colours trend especially for the modest sum of £4. Team up with a pair of coloured jeans, I’d go for the raspberry pink ones for a true colour block look and top it all off with a blue unstructured blazer.  Worn with a pair of pale coloured, court shoe heels will dress this up or a pair of pumps will make it look more casual.

F&F scoop neck top £4, Coloured skinny jeans £14, F&F limited edition unstructured blazer £28, Moda in Pelle embellished white leather peep toe court show £89.95

 

And finally if you like being green on the inside as well as the outside; check out our ‘Green Collections’.  With ethically sourced African cotton and other co-operative initiatives in developing countries, it means you can shop with a conscience that’s as free as a bird!

A winter wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without a great pair of boots…or four! The F&F clothing team have come together to bring you guys some of our favourite styles.

 

The Middleton sisters have made sure that the knee high boot is a key player this season. This black suedette pair are so versatile and look just as good paired with a dress for evening as they do tucked into jeans for a sophisticated day-time look.

 

Celebrate a trend that mixes style and comfort and check out our fabulous biker boots. Toughen up a delicate dress or pair with skinnies to add a dose of attitude to your wardrobe. I love them so much I think I  might buy them in black as well!

 

Your toes might be warm but you’ll be looking extremely cool in these great faux shearling boots. Ideal for dashing about in style; these soft boots will work well with anything from jeans to a dress and cable-knit tights. You’ll never want to take them off!

Our accessory picks for A/W11!

By saraferrity in Accessorizes, Top Picks, Trends on Wednesday 19th October, 2011

It’s no secret that accessories can make or break an outfit, but also come in especially handy for the upcoming chilly season! Here at F&F HQ, we love nothing more than to discuss which accessories work with a particular outfit, so be sure to check out some of our absolute favourites for this season below!

 

Scarves

F&F Geometric Print Silky Square Scarf – £6, F&F Abstract Print Silky Scarf – £6, F&F Chunky Knit Tassel Scarf – £10

 

Scarves can be a great finishing touch to any outfit, and are a great way to add that extra warmth in the colder months! Be sure to match your scarf to the occasion however – thicker knitted scarves look fab paired with skinny jeans for an everyday look, whilst thinner printed scarves are the perfect addition to any formal outfit!

Bags

F&F Pleated Mini Tote Bag – £12.50, F&F Satchel Tote – £14, F&F Patent Work Bag – £10

 

Every woman needs a trusty bag to carry all of the essentials, but finding that perfect one can sometimes be a chore. I personally think that it’s important to have a range of bags – from a glam clutch to wear with ‘that’ new dress, to a roomy handbag for those days when I have to chuck it all in! Vintage styled bags are definitely key pieces this season, and look great worn with a quilted jacket and dark skinny jeans.

 

Jewellery

Lisa Butcher For Made Maridadi Necklace – £15, Majique Gold Tone and Turquoise Ring – £6, Majique Coloured Cuff – £10

 

This season, be sure to turn heads with statement jewellery! Gold is a key colour, and a glam way to add warmth to any outfit. Also keep an eye out for chunky jewellery, as this is bang on trend and will effortlessly make an impact by drawing attention to your outfit!

 

Hats

F&F Floppy Hat – £12, F&F Knitted Beanie With Ears – £5, F&F Cable Knit Headband – £4

 

More often times than not, when I find that when my outfit doesn’t quite look right, it’s usually because I’m missing the perfect hat! There really is a hat to suit any trend, from gorgeous 70’s inspired volume of a floppy hat to a simple cable knit headband that would look great with a leather jacket for an edgy look. My personal favourite however, is this F&F Knitted Beanie with ears, which is a great way to throw in a bit of quirkiness into your everyday outfit!

When it’s good to be in the red…

By Rochelle Symons in Accessorizes, Get the look, London Fashion Week, Trends, Womenswear on Monday 21st March, 2011

If you don’t know that brights are one of the biggest trends of spring and summer, where have you been? Lucky for you, we’ve been monitoring all the hottest colours, and top of the list and all over London Fashion Week was Red!

We just can’t get enough and if and we are not the only ones! Adorned by the likes of Victoria Beckham and Kelly Brooke, red can suit any size, shape or item from the sexy red dress that the Sugababes coveted in the lyrics of their song, to Isabelle Marant’s amazing leather cigarette pants. If you are lucky enough to have legs that look fierce in these trousers, you should be wearing them!

Red can be a daunting colour to wear if it’s not a staple colour in your wardrobe, so we’ve got some great items that will help smooth you into the trend and make you feel better than the Special K woman!

F&F Belted Mac £35.00

A red coat is a great way to introduce colour into your wardrobe and make a statement, without being too overwhelming.  This will definitely brighten up your commute, and you can never go wrong with a statement trench coat!

Pleat Ruched side pencil dress £42.50

If the moment calls for a bit of attention, you can go bold in this stunning red ruched, pencil dress. Keep your accessories paired down and to a minimum and let the dress do all the talking!

F&F Lace balconette bra £7.00

If you want to brighten up an outfit, small flashes of red will really put a spring in your step. Accessorise with a scarf or hat, or keep it undercover (or peeking out!) with some gorgeous red lingerie; after all it is the colour of love and romance!

If these little red numbers have whet your appetite you can check out all items in our red trend here.

However, you wear it, you’re sure to have a smile on your face!
