Nights Out

Thank God it’s Friday – It’s a dinner date!

written by monifa

Not seeing someone for so long and the chance to see them is very exciting. Especially if you had good times previously.

It’s been two years since I seen my friend from college and she came out to see me. (exciting times 🤗) We met up at Printworks in Manchester and then headed too TGIFridays as it was TGIF. Work is over and we can finally rest and catch up on some major tea!! 🍵🐸We started off with cocktails and ended our night with a fudge brownie to share. To be quite honest I’m not a big fan of chocolate, but it was delish.

Coming home from work I literally had an hour to get ready, so I was thinking what am I going to wear ??? (Whilst standing in front of a wardrobe full of clothes these thoughts ran through my mind) I don’t think I’m the only girl who does this.

I decided to go with my recent new purchase it’s casual but has a going out look with its low cut slit too keep it sexy. I love the colour, I think it compliments my skin and fits great. I also brought this in the sale so it gets extra points 👍🏽 I wore this with my high waisted black jeans. Everyone should own a pair of black jeans. (Nearly everywhere has these exact same pair) It’s a wardrobe essential that saves so many “what can I wear moments”. 😂

Hope you all enjoy your Friday as much as I did 😏

What Perfume 🤔 ?

I really don’t like change but this year I’m making changes. I decided to purchase a new perfume. The Vera Wang Lovestruck. It leaves an irresistible scent that smells angelic.

A Night To Definitely Remember

written by monifa

I have been looking forward to this party for awhile. I had an engagement party to attend this weekend in Manchester. The event was held in Sakana. It was a beautiful setting with pictures of the couple plastered round the room with balloons and cute little cupcakes with icing and there initials stuck on each one.

Sometimes I wonder why I plan so late with things like this. Sometimes I don’t know why I bother stressing myself when abit of early preparation can be done to prevent this from happening to me. ( it’s not the first time it’s done this) 😬

I really felt good in this outfit. 😝 I felt Glamorous yet sophisticated. I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone by wearing these light weight flare trousers in a lime neon colour. They looked and felt great on. The extra slits down both the legs adds a touch of sexiness. I paired this outfit with my black block heels (as worn previously) and a black crop top. Simple yet so eye catching.

I didn’t want the top to be too dramatic as the pants were so eye-catching. The top is so easy to wear and can be worn throughout summer with shorts or culottes. (I will Defoe get the other colours) I wore my block heels simply because they’re the only here’s I can wear comfortably and not feel any pain hours later.

What Perfume 🤔 ?

I wore my Marc Jacobs daisy scent. It’s becoming my favourite perfume with its nice refreshing fruity smell.

Distressed Denim

written by jenna

So I know what your thinking about this outfit.. the skirts amazing isn’t it? I have had so many compliments on this particular skirt and I loved wearing it. So I will start by explaining why I wore this. Me and my partner had a night out at the weekend and I originally ordered this for my holiday but when it arrived I took one look and thought ‘this would be perfect for tonight’ and I absolutely LOVED it when I tried it on! Also it’s very comfy.

I am already a huge fan of the ‘distressed denim’ look so this skirt won me over! The amount of detail on it is so nice and therefore makes the skirt stand out. It is a tulip kind of fit so it is perfect for all kind of body types, slim and curvy I think this skirt would look amazing on any! I got this from misguided with a huge student discount on it so all you students out there you will find they have student discounts on the site most of the time and other great discounts! To go with this skirt I decided to opt for a black top so I could wear my new khaki heels.

I personally love Bardot tops as they are enough to cover and look sophisticated but give a slightly sexy look by showing the shoulders. This top is a bodysuit also which seem really in fashion at the moment I personally like bodysuits and seem to be buying more body’s than normal tops now. This was also purchased from misguided at a great price and you could wear this again and again with different outfits like jeans, cigarette trousers and bodycon skirts.

So on to the heels I only bought these the other week and with how comfy they were I was eager to wear them again and not to mention they are very sophisticated with having the two strap sandal look. Like I’ve mentioned in other posts before I love khaki and it is one of my fave colours.

I think it always looks nice on a brunette 😉I then went for a black river island clutch bag with gold zip detailing on the front which matched my thin gold choker very well. I didn’t want to go over the top with jewellery as I had to remember I was still wearing denim!

What Perfume 🤔 ?

I went for my jimmy choo perfume as I was stepping out 💁🏻

Big Bro’s B’day

written by victoria

Guess who’s back?

It was my older brother’s birthday not too long ago and my mind was absolutely blank as to what I could wear to his surprise meal so I thought why not whip out that little cute dress that has not yet seen the light of day so that’s exactly what I did.

When in doubt, whip out that little nice dress, I promise you it always saves the day. So yeah, that’s why I chose this outfit as I was just so clueless in what I wanted to wear plus it was warm so white and yellow seemed appropriate. I couldn’t find the exact one so I have left you two amazing alternatives which will look brilliant also; one of them is from pink boutique and the other from rosegal.

I pared the dress with some lovely yellow gold heels as the colour matches with the dress. The heels were sparkly and quite frankly I felt like a princess ;). Again, I couldn’t find the exact ones but I have left you with a rose gold alternative from asos which I think is absolutely brilliant; as you know rose gold items are in lately and they’re gorgeous.

Nothing beats your good old fashioned plain black clutch bag, it was only right as black went with everything; this one is from new look so make sure you check it out. Lastly, the last piece to this cute puzzle was my choker; chokers have been in for a little while now and in my opinion, brings the look together. I love chokers that much that if I don’t wear it my neck feels naked haha J

I wore this outfit to my older brother’s surprise birthday meal, if you ask me he’s getting too old J. On that note, please check out his website at www.soscreativity.co.uk ;).

The perfume I used on the evening was the Euphoria by Calvin Klein which is just peng.

You’re the birthday girl

written by esther

Birthdays are one of the things we all have in common. Even if it’s just a nice meal in with your loved ones or a full blown party Kardashian Jenner style , we all celebrate it in our way. I love love birthdays and each year , I always try to do something better than the last.

The 21st is a big age so I was thinking big. I had to transform into a party planner overnight . From the decorations to the music , everything had to be perfect to accommodate that red carpet dress I had in mind . I wanted an entry , to feel like a queen that I am for a day.

C’mon ,we all know birthdays are always an excuse to bring out the narcissistic vain nature in us and no one can judge you cos you’re the birthday girl. Yes I did exactly just that. The dress gave me the statement I needed to walk on the red carpet I picked up from local store, the silver belt created a nice silhouette to essentuate my curves (not much there but I work with it every time ).

I had no other choice to match it with a silver clutch and my bullet nails. Plain black strappy heels made the perfect sense as no attention needed to be taken off my statement dress, the chunky heel made it extra comfortable for me to dance all night long .

As I heard people chanting my name, I knew it was my time to shine. My Beyoncé heat perfume was the perfect scent to help me Chanel the inner Beyoncé in me. As I stutted along that red carpet to my high chair. I thought this must be how celebrities feel regularly (I can imagine it getting exhausting after a while though ), but I look back at the memories now and think Yassss I did that.

I got my birthday bang but most importantly I got to spend it with my loved ones who helped me every step of the way and nothing beats that feeling .

TGIF when it’s not Friday

written by victoria

Hey lovely people, welcome back to my page 😉

Thank God it’s Friday when it’s Tuesday. We all wish everyday could be Friday but then again that depends on what your Fridays are like. It was my friend’s birthday and we were to go to this restaurant called ‘TGIFridays’ and the idea of it is that whenever you go in there you feel like it’s a Friday which means feet up and get comfortable.

As always I never know what to wear until the day then I’m stumped for ideas. Luckily it was warm on this lovely Tuesday evening so I was able to whip out my shirt styled playsuit which I think is absolutely cute. The idea of getting comfortable at this restaurant resonated hence the choice of my outfit; this lovely khaki alternative is from boohoo.

My outfit was colourful enough so everything else I paired with the outfit was black as this is a neutral colour. My clutch was black and nothing beats that as every girl needs a purse. My heels were plain and simple but very effective. Lastly I wore my fishnet tights and as you know these are becoming very fashionable at the moment and they go very well with a lot of things.

I felt very relaxed in my outfit; the material for my playsuit was silk/ satin which on the skin feels absolutely lovely. Overall, it was a great night and I ate quite a bit but the plus side to things was that nothing could be seen through the outfit especially in the middle section region haha.

The perfume I wore on the night was Lady Million by Paco Rabanne; absolutely gorgeous.

Suede Slayin

written by jenna

Hi guys 👋🏼 I hope everyone had a fabulous bank holiday weekend, I certainly did.. I had a girls night on the Sunday night with one of my friends which consisted of drinking lots of gin 😂 I recently have been doing a diet plan and working out which has made me feel very confident and with me loosing some weight I decided to go all out and get a hot figure hugging dress.

That’s when I came across this very one that I’m wearing in this post! As soon as I saw this dress I just fell in love with it and knew it was the one ☝️ so I ordered online and when it came it looked just as nice in person as it did on the model online. So I eagerly tried it on and it was perfect, it just fit in all the right places.

Although I loved everything about this dress cos what’s not to love about it 😏 It was the lace up detail on the dress what was my fave. One of my favourite colours is also nude and it was ALL suede 👌🏽 I just kept stroking it through the night 😂🙈 too soft lol.

Suede seems to be a very popular material in the fashion industry at the moment and I ain’t complaining I love the suede look! I was also drawn to this dress because of the high neck on it. It was just ticking every box for me and with an easy zip up on the back it was easy to get in to.

For the shoes it could be none other but my strappy black ‘suede’ heels which are very delicate and sophisticated so you can see my point on why they went so well with the dress. My clutch bag I love and I have actually had this for a long time it has plenty of zips inside so girls you can fit all your life in there! Makeup, phone, money, umbrella you name it, it’s like a Mary poppins bag 😂

To complete i used YSL Cinéma one of my favourite smells. It has quite a sweet smell to this fragrance.

Please let me know what you all think about this look, I love to hear your feedback and keep lookout for discount codes on your favourite high street shops off our website www.statementpiecesofficial.co.uk show us some love on the gram ‘@statementpiecesofficial’ and like our page on Facebook 💋

Down By The River Side

written by victoria

What’s up guys? It’s your girl Victoria back with yet again another post 😉

How do you manage to be bold without wearing any bright colours? The answer is black and white. Good old fashioned black and white strikes again! I absolutely love the top I’m wearing within this outfit as it has lace all over and the way they’ve designed it with the see through arms just adds that sexy look to it.

Anything with lace on, count me in; just love the damn things.

I chose this outfit because my friend had an upcoming wedding shoot at the location in which these pictures were taken and he said wear something “nice” so I thought well if it’s for a wedding then white is a must and black goes with everything so it’s a win win situation 😉

It was just a very calm casual day to walk around the reservoir and to enjoy the beautiful sight that Birmingham had to offer. On the other hand, this outfit can be very versatile and worn to any occasion such as a party, meal or even dancing ;).

I love the jacket because it was large enough to wrap around myself but it also had pockets. I don’t know about you but when it comes to long jackets/ coats which are very flowy, I love to be able to put my hands somewhere and not just on my waist so I think this was an added bonus to the outfit.

This outfit was very comfortable and the materials were soft which to me meant I could cover myself up with the jacket and fall asleep anywhere I put my head down to rest. As for perfume, I was wearing the Beyoncé heat which is one of my absolute favs.

A Girlie Weekend Away!

written by monifa

I love khaki clothing (as I probably mentioned previously) I went away for the weekend with a few friends. During one of the nights, we went to a local club although it was pre-planned, I still couldn’t find anything I liked to take with me to wear out. I emptied my whole wardrobe on my bed so I could prepare for the weekend ahead. I found this cute outfit (as shown).

Strangely enough we all ended up wearing the same colour outfits either black or khaki or both like me. Haaaahaaa! We had our own table n brought a few bottles and enjoyed the night till we couldn’t go on anymore..

My black bodysuit and my khaki skirt. I must say, I haven’t wore this bodysuit since my university days. I really do like it! (Although,I think it’s time I invested in a new one now 🙈) The bodysuit is great and looks even better on. Until you need to take everything off just to go toilet. The bodysuit shows a lot of skin! Which adds to the sexiness of the outfit but just enough to to keep it modest. 😏

The skirt is great, (Guess what! it’s now £6!!!) it pulls you in at all the right places and accentuates your figure. A PLUS! (I also have a black one which I get more use of) The skirt makes me feel sophisticated and sexy. You can rock this skirt no matter your shape or size😊 ( I’m sure to wear it again!) The stretchy material also makes it easy to walk in.

I paired this with my lace up black heels with my black velvet chocker, which I seem to be wearing a lot lately 🙈 I love it! Plus, I haven’t really been into wearing much accessories these days. I like to keep it simple so this choker does the trick 👌🏾

What Perfume 🤔 ?

I wore the Gucci Guilty Eau toilette fragrance. This scent is very bold and sexy and leaves a long lasting fruity scent. Which I love!

TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday)

written by monifa

A vintage trend that’s making an appearance from the 70s is the wide legged trousers aka culottes pants. They hang like a skirt but technically there’re actually pants so you can have the comfort of a skirt with the functionality of pants.😵😏 They make me feel cute and sophisticated. I will definitely be on the look out for more culottes trousers. They are comfortable and very flattering and make me look even taller than I actually am (which I love! 🙈😂)

It’s Friday, work is over and I can finally breathe and have some fun.💃🏽 This is the first time I’ve worn these culotte pants. I went to a local grill/bar in my area called “Retreat” the name fit the area as the building was tucked away behind the trees. Inside was warm and inviting with candle lit tables and modern décor. The food even turned out better than I expected! I had no complaints.

I wore a black bardot top. The off the shoulder look is very much in fashion right about now. (From one shoulder, to none). I wore this with my striped off white and black culottes. Stripes are literally everywhere. You can go stripy with separates or go full head to-toe.

If you want to play it safe, red and black or black and white work best together. I finished this look off with my black velvet chocker and my black chunky strap heels from new look (there so easy to walk in, and the great thing about them is I can wear them for ages without complaining that my feet hurt😏) WINNER!
