Outfit Idea #3

This third outfit idea is different from the other two as the outfit consists of a skirt, which isn't something that is much worn in the winter but you can still make it work with the help of tights. Its a very comfortable teenagey ('teenagey' if that's a word)  outfit which can be worn for school or going out with friends.
 
 
 
 
This outfit is very casual and flirty as it shows off your curves in a subtle way. Again this is a very easy outfit to re-create as it consists of pieces that may already be in your wardrobe.

Skirt: H&M
Cardigan:ASOS
Tights:Primark
Bag:Louis Vuitton
Shoes:Vans
 
For a more formal look you can change the vans to boots and maybe a less graphic t-shirt if you are in a formal situation. You could also wear jeans with this outfit and substitute the skirt if you are uncomfortable or do not like wearing skirts.
 
 
 
Thank you Yalda for modelling :)

Watch Ideas for Men and Women


I thought this post would be helpful to give an idea of a lovely timepiece gift for someone for any occasion. 

Here are some of my watches, they vary on style, some have a larger face, while others are slightly more petite and elegant. The straps also vary from leather, diamonds and links, which makes each watch unique. 

I have purchased all the following watches from various stores, some include: Ernest Jones, Beaverbrooks, H.Samuel and The Watch Shop (online).




One of my most recent purchases was this DKNY watch in "rose gold." It has a slightly larger face, with a shiny and matte rose gold links strap. This is my most favourite watch, as I find it suitable to wear to sixth form everyday, as it's a pretty colour and will go with any outfit. I also like the detailing around the edge of the face, as it brings the colour out more and provides an elegant finish to the watch.






 These next three watches are some of my slightly older ones, which are relatively small. (From left to right) they are: DKNY, DKNY and Fendi. All three watches are unique and I find them more formal and suitable to wear at work. 





 This Guess watch is also one of my more older watches and has a leather strap, which is different to my previous ones. It also has a square face, which makes it different and more interesting to wear. I find this watch suitable to be worn to work also, as it's quite small and formal.



Men's watch ideas

 This is one of my dad's watches (also one of his favourites).
This Rolex would make a classic gift for for any man and 
is also very sophisticated. The colours are neutral and would
therefore look great with formal wear.



 Finally, this Breitling and Tissot watches are also very smart and sophisticated. The Breitling has a slightly larger face compared to the Tissot but both are very smart. 
Both the watches have different colours, such as grey silver, bits of red and the Tissot even has some yellow in it. This makes each part of the watch really stand out and look unique.






His & Hers watch gift set 



 On a last note, I think a His & Hers gift set can make a really great timepiece, perfect for an anniversary. 

Michael Kors is probably one of the biggest watch designers right now and he has designed watches perfect for men and women. This isn't a gift set option in stores or online, I chose these watches and bought them separately (they are my parents).  

Together, I think each watch compliments the other and can be worn out anywhere, as a watch is the most perfect accessory! 






I hope you liked this post of some watch gift ideas for men and women!
