Team this with simple black jeans from topshop and cosy purple jumper from whistles to get a bit of colour into your outfit!

Ellie Ellie Wears: Pop of colour!

As the weather gets colder its always nice to wear colour and stand out from the crowd with colourful clothing. This week Ellie Ellie wears is inspired by our Artist Palette Pencil Necklace, which will add a pop of colour to any outfit!

To make the necklace stand out team it with this lovely cream People Tree cardigan, who sell all sustainable and fair trade clothing, perfect to keep you warm while creating a great backdrop for the necklace! Pair the jumper with these bright blue jeans for a great contrast and add a tan bag like this leather vintage satchel from Vida Vida! This is a great daytime outfit but you could easily change the top and put heels on to transform it for night time!

Ellie Ellie Wears: It's getting colder outside

The days and nights are getting colder and there is nothing better than wrapping up in a warm jumper and keeping warm. This stripy jumper from Mudd and Water is perfect with a great pattern and colours. Mudd and Water are a great company producing ethical, organic and sustainable clothes with brilliant attention to detail! Pairing this jumper with Monkey Genes creates a great look, and Monkey Genes are also a great independent label which offers organic jeans with 'No blood, No sweat, No tears' and makes huge ethical considerations when producing their jeans. Finish the outfit off with these great loafers and an Ellie Ellie Vintage Letter Tile Necklace which can be personalised with your initial!

Crazy Customising!

Here is a little crazy customisation we’ve stumbled upon this week. We aren’t sure about these customised Lego shoes here at Ellie Ellie HQ, love or hate?

If these Lego shoes don’t quite take your fancy why not try and customise an old pair of shoes you were going to chuck out and give them a new lease of life.... go on!!

Here are a handful of ideas inspired by Ellie Ellie’s favourite things… Have a go using scrap comics, maps or sheet music with Papier Mache, or you could try it with your favourite wrapping paper or old stamps.

For a fun, personalised look you could use locations that are special to you, and we love the idea of personalised insoles for your wedding shoe, a great way to have your memories with you on the day...

Another favourite of ours at Ellie Ellie is these stamp pumps, we think this is a lovely way to reuse stamps and create an individual look. 

 

Not forgetting our love of old vintage comics, personalising your old pumps and heels with comic print is a fabulous idea, use your favourite comic book characters and stories to make your shoes tell a story.

For a step by step guide to mastering papier mache, the perfect way to customise your shoes, have a look at this tutorial  Getting started with papier mache

This week's Ellie Ellie Wears features a Joules vs Cath Kidston mash up. That beautiful blush pink from the blouse, plucks the feminine colours from the country styles high waisted skirt. Tuck your top into the skirt and pop on a pair of these cute little floral pumps to finish your outfit off. Ellie Ellie's Personalised Map Cluster Pendant is an ideal accessory- you can personalise each charm with a location from around the world that you hold dear. You can have between 1 and 6 charms, and of course it's a great piece to add to over time as the memories are made!

We love the bold and quirky print and when put with these turquoise office sandals it makes a perfect outfit for Spring/Summer activities (we don't know when Summer's meant to turn up either, but hey lets stay hopeful!) Alphabet bags have produced yet another lovely product. 'Dance All Day' is such a fun sentiment and frankly it's how we wish we lived! After all, nothing better than a boogie with friends to your favourite song. Our Sixpence Necklace is the perfect accessory for the outfit and to make life even sweeter, you can even customise the coin date making it extra special to you.

We at Ellie Ellie love all things British, so it's no surprise that we have a soft spot for TOPSHOP's 'Made in Britain' collection. Packed with everything from hats, shoes, accessories, dresses and everything in between it's great to see this high street brand embracing it's heritage!

We've taken 3 items from the collection and slung it with Ellie Ellie's Upcycled Building Brick Studs to compliment the colours in the retro comic tee! Our studs are handmade using old LEGO bricks, which we transform into these cute little studs which are also available in blue, black and white!

This casual-chic outfit is perfect for a mooch around the shops or a coffee date with your girls!

It's increasingly important for us shoppers to support British trade- we've all heard of the doom and gloom soaring around UK bank accounts so it's vital that we shop British and support UK based manufacturing- everything doesn't have to be made in China.

This week we take a look at Vogue's fave colour of Spring- black. Designers such as Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney have all been designing simple dark outfits for a moody British spring. 

I know it's a shock. Who'd of thought black would of been a colour for Spring. LBDs have long been a staple for every women's wardrobe. This little number from Miss Selfridge with it's sweet Peter Pan collar adds a hint of femininity!  Loafers are another essential- these give a bit of balance to the prettiness of the dress, making it a fab outfit for work or a smart/casual dinner date. Ellie Ellie's necklace made from Upcycled Lego is a great bit of nostalgic humor and a great conversation starter with the lads. Check out Ellie Ellie's full up-cycled brick collection here.

Ellie Ellie Street Style Spotted!

We found Bluebell, 19 a fashion student on a wander round the shops in Preston city centre.

Totally stylish, she brings pops of colour to her outfit with a Yayoi Kusama for Louis Vuitton bag and matching Ellie Ellie Building Brick Heart necklace.

A leather jacket with customised studding detailing works as a great cover up for the chilly march evenings, and skinny jeans are perfect with any outfit.

We also love her shoes, which have a fab Aztec print- perfect for the upcoming summer months!

Bluebell loves Ellie Ellie “Because it’s really easy to wear with anything, and works with all of my outfits.”

We think Blubell’s quirky style is great, and have total bag envy!

Find Bluebell's Building Brick necklace here. It comes in more colours too! The perfect accessory for any outfit.
