Le Floof TV: Albi the Maltese Puppy

I am SO excited about Jonathan's new camera!  It's such amazing quality and I can't wait to shoot a video with it!  I probably won't use it for my regular videos because it's so high quality and it takes a LONG time to render but maybe for some special ones I will be allowed to use it :)  Check out this short video Jonathan made of Albi - the detail is just stunning.  I have never seen such beautiful quality on YouTube before...you can make out every little hair on Albi's body!  


I might start filming with Jonathan's old camera...it's a Fujifilm Finepix S 9600 DSLR.  (I have no idea if I typed that all right...)  It's still got a 640 x 480 resolution so it won't fit the whole screen but it's way better quality than the one I use to film right now - also the sound quality is a lot more clear and it has an automatic zoom.


That's enough camera-talk, I feel dizzy!  Hope you enjoy the video :)

My ASOS order came today, yay!  Jonathan also got a new camera, so the photos should be a lot better quality.  He did photograph the other items I bought too but they that was before we had figured out the perfect lighting/settings yet so they're not good enough to use here, sorry :/  But anyway, I love the camera and I love everything I bought at ASOS.com

Styling: Look Cute on a Budget

I had to go into town today...Albi came with me of course :)  I put together this look for around under €120, the most expensive item is the blazer at €79.99 and all the other items are super cheap.  I definitely feel like you can save on certain items like basics, accessories (costume jewellery), flats, and some skinny jeans provided they are from a brand that you trust and that you know are good quality, eg. Zara.  On the other hand there are some items that you need to spend a little bit extra for, because these are statement pieces that should fit you perfectly, be higher quality and last you a long time.  For example trench coats, blazers, boots and handbags.  


If you mix and match affordable and expensive items together, you will find that your outfits will never look cheap or tacky, instead they will look chic, put-together and more expensive than they really are.  This is a great trick because not everyone can afford to splash out on each item in their wardrobe.


What I'm wearing:


Zara blazer €79.99
ASOS shirt £6.00
Zara skinny jeans €5.99
Urban Outfitters flats £9.99
Fat Face bracelets £8.50
Oasis sunnies €4.00
Vintage clutch from my mom - 100% free!





I hope you like this look.  Let me know what you think in the comments.


Stay Stylish!

Blog: Rugby

It was such a sunny day today and a lot of people actually went and sat on the beach...it's far too cold for swimming or anything like that but still, it's clear now that we're moving into spring.  Yay!  I wore my blue and white RL rugby shirt...it's so warm and fits really snug, I love it.  I paired it with my €5.99 jeans from Zara - what a bargain!  They fit me exactly right,  a little lower rise than I usually like but I love them, they're such a steal!  I like to wear this grey pea coat a lot because it keeps me so warm and the 3/4 length sleeves make it unique.  


I am just drooling over that photo of Albi with his face all dirty.  He really is the cutest little dog I've ever seen!  He loves the beach because he gets to be let off the lead and he rolls around in the sand.  I love him so much.  We actually took him to the beach with Jonathan's dad, his fiance and their dog, Minstrel!  Albi is a teeny tiny 6lb Maltese and Minstrel is a big huge chocolate lab...they look SO funny together but they are best friends :)   


Here's what I'm wearing:


Zara jeans
Ralph Lauren Rugby shirt
Zegna scarf
H&M pea coat
Mexx bracelet
Disc earrings which were a gift
Pink Guess watch
Dune calf boots


Hope you like the look :)

Tag: What's In My Purse

I'm finally getting around to doing an official "What's In My Purse" video!  I actually made one way back when I first started making videos in February of last year but I deleted it because the lighting was SO AWFUL and the webcam I was using was such poor quality that you literally could not see a thing I was taking out of my bag.  Terrible!  Then I made a "What's In My Clutch" video during the summer and Jonathan made a "What's In My Purse" parody video so I never really got around to doing a proper one.  I got a whole bunch of requests recently to do this so I decided to go ahead with it.  


If any of you are wondering, my bag is called the Chloe Paddington, it was a cult handbag back in 2005 and it's remained a classic...it was my dream bag for a long long time and finally for my 21st birthday, Jonathan completely surprised me and got it for me :)


Hope you like this video...it was a lot of fun to make.  Please feel free to make a video response or if you're not on YouTube, maybe leave a comment letting me know what you keep in your bag!


Stay Stylish!

Le Floof TV: Finding Your Identity (Tattoos)

Today Jonathan made a short vlog about his tattoos and what each of them mean to him.  I thought this was a really interesting topic because it seems like everyone has a different opinion on tattoos.  What do you think about them?  Do you like them?  Would you ever get a tattoo?  I like them on Jonathan, he's my boyfriend and I love him but I also think they suit him.  Though personally I would never get a tattoo...I just don't think they are right for ME.  I never wanted one and don't think I ever will at this stage.  And strangely enough Jonathan agrees...he prefers me without.  


My father was born in 1938 (a long time ago :) and he was always SO against tattoos...he used to say tattoos were only for sailors and criminals!  While this may sound ridiculous to people nowadays, my dad was actually justified in thinking this because in his day the only people who had tattoos were really....well, sailors and criminals.  I remember he would find it very difficult not to judge people with tattoos - it wasn't his fault and I can't blame him!  It took him a looong time to get used to Jonathan's and he used to joke about leaving Jonathan money in his will to "go to California and get rid of them".  Apparently he had read about somebody in California lasering off their tattoos...my dad was really very "old-school" in a lot of ways :) 


So, what's your opinion on tattoos?  Let me know in the comments!

Styling: The Boyfriend Cardigan

Today I wore a boyfriend cardigan I found while at my parents' house last weekend.  I was so excited to find it and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this beauty hanging in my closet after all these years :)  I had never taken it with me when I moved out...now it's like brand new again!  It's like a new-found love... 


I paired it up with some wooden accessories and casual basics...boyfriend jeans, ballet flats and a white tank.  Very simple, classic and chic.  I piled my hair up into a bun and kept my make-up neutral - the best way to wear the boyfriend trend in my opinion!


What I'm wearing:
Boyfriend cardigan: Benetton
Boyfriend jeans: ASOS.com
Tank top: Mexx
Necklace: A gift from Canada :)
Bangle: Wallis
Ballet flats: Accessorize





Let me know what you think of the look...


Stay Stylish!
