Rose gold watch

Hello my lovelies.

This is just a short blog post as I wanted to show you all a gift I received from my mum and am absolutely in love with. It's a rose gold watch from Fossil. I believe it's the stella bracelet. 

I've been wanting a rose gold watch for a really long time now and have been deciding between Fossil, Michael Kors or even a Ted Baker one. I didn't really mind which "brand" I had because they're all so beautiful, but Michael Kors is a lot more expensive.

So my mum surprised me with this stunning watch and it's exactly what I wanted. I usually wear very simple bracelets, so for me something like this is quite bulky, but I just think it is such a statement and so classic, but the face that it's rose gold gives it such a feminine and modern touch.

I have been obsessed with rose gold lately, I think it's due to the fact that Ted Baker use a lot of rose gold detailing in their classic collection and as some of my regular readers may know I am a tad obsessed with Ted Baker. I'm constantly looking on Etsy for unique rose gold pieces of jewelery. For those of you who don't know Etsy is an online shop were independent sellers sell their own products, as the majority of things are hand made you can find some really unique and different pieces on there. To check it out just click here.

So I'll leave you with some pictures of my new found love:)

Thanks for reading.

The blog fashion tag.

Tag: The fashion blog

Hello my lovelies so today I'm doing the fashion tag designed especially for bloggers! I firstly want to say that my style does change depending on the season whether it's summer or winter etc. I'd imagine we're all like that so I'm going to answer the questions as my style right now, and just so you all know it is autumn here in the UK or Fall as some of you lovely Americans may call it:) 

So after that loveeeeely ramble lets jump right in:)

1) who is your fashion role model? 

So I think there's two people who spring to mind who In my eyes never make a fashion mistake and that is Fearne Cotton and Zoe(lla) Sugg I think they both just have the most amazing style and I always look at them in awe! I'm pretty sure that everything suits them because I honestly can't think of an occasion were I thought "eurg hate what Fearne's wearing" or "Oh no Zoe that was a bad choice." So well done ladies and PS can I please have your wardrobes?;) hehe 

  2) How would you describe your style? 

I don't think I could tag my style because I like a wide variety of clothing and it really  depends on the occasion, but I would say my style is quite casual I'm not the type that would wear heels shopping. Although that looks great on some people I'm just not one of them. But having said that I love "pretty" clothes. I'm most likely to be seen in skinny jeans and a jumper. This is one of my favourite jumpers at the moment the detailing is just so beautiful. It has pearls and small Jewell's and the shoulders are cut out. It's from Miss Selfridge and cost me £39.

3) What is you favourite: Jeans, sunglasses or heels? 

This answer is easy for me although I love them all, but one definitely jumps out at me and it's jeans!!! I keep my favourite pair of Lacoste sunglasses in my car, but usually forget to put them on my head:/ and although I love heels and have far too many pairs (although still not enough) I don't wear them on a regular basis. But jeans are my fashion staple, they have to be skinny jeans but I just feel that they compliment my figure more than leggings or jeggings and well a pair of black skinny jeans?? You just cant go wrong.

4) What inspired you to blog about fashion? 

Well I love all things beauty related makeup, fashion, health, nails etc. it's just something which I have a soft spot for, and I don't recommend this but unfortunately most of my wages are spent on clothes, it's just a love of mine. After getting into watching YouTube videos and reading beauty blogs I could spend all my evening just on the beauty related social media sites and it really inspired me to do it myself. I don't think I'm quite brave enough to film, but I am loving writing my blog:)

5) What is your favourite fashion store? 

Mine is definitely Miss selfridge I love it and the style is right up my alley. Apart from that I also love Zara and I actually also love Dorothy Perkins. I don't think this shop gets enough hype, but I actually love it and have got some of my favourite items of clothing from there.

6) What is your favourite fabric in clothing? 

I think this is a really bizzare question and I don't particularly have a favourite fabric, but I will say that at the moment I am of course loving knitts for the autumn. Knitted jumpers, hats, scarves the whole Sha-bang. 

7) What are your favourite designers? 

So If I'm honest with you guys I'm not much of a designer type of gal. I'd rather buy 20 items of high street clothing than 1 designer thing. That's just my preference. Make sure you comment saying what you would rather, having said that there is only one which I am OBSESSED with and that's Ted Baker I actually have quite a few things including a large makeup bag, my iPad case, a dress, a few tops and a few other bits. LOVE

8) Who or what inspires your style? 

Like I've said I very much have my own style and never copy anyone else's because I know I have my own body shape for example like I said earlier on I LOVE Zoe's fashion style, however Zoe is beautifully slim and leggings/jeggings really compliment her figure. I am very happy with my figure and would never wish I had anyone else's figure, but it is different to hers. Like Zoe I'm short at 5"3 but I have those lovely curvy latin thighs and wearing leggings is not always the best look for me. So I'd definitely say her and Fearne isnpire my style, but I adapt it to myself. I also just have my own style I love browsing through the shops and just putting things together:)

DIY Autumn decor inspiration

Hello my lovelies so the last couple of years door handle hangers have been very "in" and there re some beautiful ones out there trust me I have purchased a good amount. I just think there something small and simple which adds loads of personality to a room and I just love them. I've also lately been into doing a few DIY projects especially to spice up my bedroom which is why I ended up making this. I love this I think it's so cute and very festive/autumny (if that's even a word) 

So I came up with this idea when I received my most recent graze box( if you want to know more about Graze and even get a code to get your own free graze box Click here) and now tht it's nearly Christmas their box was this pattern full of birds and reindeers, snowflakes and birds! I'm really into these colours at the moments they just make me feel warm and cosy. So as soon as I got my box (and free eating the brownies that arrived;) I knew I just had to UPcycle it as it was far too pretty to just throw away. So I thought this would be a perfect and really eat to do idea.

So if you are a member of graze or have another nice pattern you would like to UPcycle here is how I made mine. I took the piece of card and on the back drew a heart, I advise drawing it bigger than you actually want because I find that something always goes wrong:/ hehe. 

Once you finished cutting and your happy with your heart get a hole punch and punch ONE hole near the top and in the middle of the heart (be careful not to do it too near the top, because it could rip and that is definitely not cool:/) 

Then take this string like thing I'm not too sure what it's actually called, but it's quite straw like! I'm sure any string will do though! You can take a single piece of it but I decided I wanted to braid mine for a prettier look! Once you've finished just tie it through the hole and hang it somewhere! 

BAAAM you're done it's as simple as that I'm actually thinking of adding some glitter to it so I may to that later but for the moment I'm really happy with it.

I can't wait to see your ones so make sure you tweet them to me on Inspirelatin

Until next time

Love Damaris

Autumn/winter essentials - trousers

Autumn/winter essentials - Trousers

Hello my lovelies so winter is here Autumn is definitely arrived in the UK and it is not my favourite season lets say, my Latin blood definitely prefers the het and in terms of fashion I much prefer lace dresses, feminine shorts and beautiful sandals, but that is not an option when it's 3 degrees outside:( I also find that in the cold months I almost lose my sense of style as I'm just drowned under layers of tops, cardigans, jumpers and to to pot off a huge coat, but this year I though I a going to be different. I am going to embrace the Autumn fashion and I am loving it! I thought I needed some inspiration so I jumped straight on to YouTube and started watching some of my favourite youtubers/ beauty gurus and inspiration is just what I found! There are loads of autumn videos out there at the moments from hauls to one of my personal favourite: look books" Zoe or Zoella has filmed a particularly fabulous autumn look book which I really recommend watching. If you don't know who Zoe is then you've obviously been living under a rock, but don't worry just Click here to watch her autumn look book and prepare to fall in love.

 So I thought to really embrace the Autumn fashion I will write a series of blogs of my autumn essentials. In each blog of this series I will concentrate on a beauty staple be it fashion or more makeup related which I am loving for this season. So let's get started In this blog I am concentrating on trousers.

I look which I am loving for the Autumn is one which has gone In and out of trend over the last couple of years and that is leggings! A few years ago it felt like the whole nation was obsessed with leggings everyone and there mothers sister's aunty's friend was was wearing them. This was until we finally looked in the mirror and turned around WOW yupe your thighs have been have displayed this whole time(and every other wobbly bit.) I have rarely worn leggings since as I suddenly found the most unflattering things you could decide to put on your legs! This Autumn however I feel that leggings are back on trend and thank goodness they're much thicker and generally better quality, so no more see through material.

There have been some styles in particular that I am loving and thought I would share with you. 

This style on the left is definitely one of my favourites and that is the leather style leggings, which I would have never dreamed of wearing, but here I am sat in them and I absolutely I love them. These particular one are from Zara online which you can Click here to see and they cost £29.99. I feel that Zara do some of the best leggings and skinny trousers. I appreciate that £30 may be a tad on the pricey side for a pair of leggings, but trust me if you can invest in some of these then you won't regret it and they will last you a life time. I love wearing them with baggy tops or loose fitting jumpers and they look great with a pair of vans trainers or ankle boots. They're also perfect they dress down casually and even a bit grudge or dress up with a pair of ankle heels. So this is one example of leggings/treggings that I am LOVING, but that's not it there are so many styles of leggings which are right on trend I also loving the pixie pants or at least the style. You probably know genuine pixie pants are ridiculously expensive but luckily there are some amazing look a likes or dupes. Again I think Zara do the best quality, but there are other options such as Next or Asos which have some  amazing clothes in store or for those of you who haven't got access to these shops they do international shipping. (Great news, but dangerous for our bank account) 

So here on you're right is another one of my autumn essentials in the trousers department and that is statement jeans or trousers. Really this has been on trend through the summer too but obviously the colours have darkened and personally I love it! It. Is one of my signature looks. Don't worry this pair is still in shops and again they are from Zara for £29.99. I know I'm obsessed with Zara at the moment right haha. Don't worry though there are other lovely ones about. One of my favourites is the famous Ted Baker oil paint trousers they're a more expensive £119 ute they are stunning and trust will last you a life time, but if your more a high street kinda gal don't worry there are some fab ones in Oasis, Asos and even Primark. I'm loving this look I think it's quite obvious that it's usually worn with a plain top or jumper although celebs have been seen wearing  the Ted Baker trousers with matching top, but foe me it's just a bit too much .
I'm loving mixing up with different types of trousers and leggings and can't wait to try some new looks out. I hope this has given you some inspiration for some stunning autumn looks. I also hope you've enjoyed this blog post and this will hopefully be the first of an exciting series.
Thanks for reading my lovelies
