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.

Ss13 trends: Trainers. With everything.

It seems like Olympics fever is still upon the fashion world, even come Spring Summer 2012.

Trainers made a big appearance at two big names - Moschino and Ashish, although they were both done in completely different ways.

The Ashish collection was a crazy nineties, sequinned, mash up of bleach blondes in glasses and reebok classics. The reeboks were topped off with shimmering glittering socks, in black, white, silver and gold. Topknots and scrunchies were worn ironically with billowing ball gowns, the white kicks poking out playfully.

On the other hand, Moschino played it differently - pretty dresses, skater skirts and prim (but shockingly transparent) shirts in pastels and black were contrasted against the bright, bold trainers, reminiscent of classic Nikes. The models looked ladylike, from 

head to.. Well, ankle, when the shoes became a surprising addition to such a girly pallet.

Trainers. As you will see (very soon!) are going to be big. Really big. Like, wear with everything anytime kind of big. But more on that later..
Anyway, this weeks Ellie Ellie Wears is for a romantic date, a chilled out Sunday or just because it looks good. Featuring Ellie Ellie's Stamp Heart Pendant, the pink and reds cheer up this miserable weather. And let's face it, Breton stripes are never going away, ever!

JAYNE PIERSON INSPIRED NAIL ART!

Hello everybody!


As we promised here is our JP inspired nail art. Jayne's Spring/Summer '13 collection was both modern and tribal, with blues, beiges and whites, so we've tried to incorporate that as much as possible!

The 'feature' nail (The black and white striped one) was based on the nail art used on the models showcasing the collection.

(Above JP's nail art)

 We used blue and gold to do the middle of the leopard print on the other nails, as we felt those colours complimented Jayne's clothes, which you can see here.

Above is the selection of nail varnishes we used (along with an Ellie Ellie Vintage Letter Tile Ring!)

The leopard print effect was done using a curby grip, pulled open so the rounded end can be used as a dotting tool. 

After applying the base colour, do random multi sized dots (with your blue, gold, or colour of choice) over the nail leaving plenty of space in between. 

You then use the other rounded end of your  hair grip to do black 'c' or full circle shapes around the dots. Don't worry if the 'c's or circles don't look perfect - a leopards spots are far from it!

After letting it dry, apply a top coat.. and voila! Leopard nails!

The stripes were achieved by using good old fashioned masking tape.

First, wait until your base coat is dry. Then cut thin strips from the masking tape, making sure they are long enough to go over the entire nail and onto your skin (you will need these excess 'tabs' to pull the tape when finished).

Place the masking tape strips onto the nail in the pattern you desire. Paint over the masking tape (we have used black, but any colour will work!), making sure the gaps between each strip are fully covered.

Once this layer of varnish is dry, pull the strips away slowly. Use a curby grip to fill any gaps, or remove any smudges (you can do this by dipping the rounded head of the curby grip in nail varnish remover and wiping over the smudge).

Paint over with a clear topcoat, and you're done!

Hope you liked are first nail art post - there will be more to come! 

SPOTTED!
