December Review.

Well good morning!
Wishing you all a Happy New Year - and welcome to 2021!
Is it a good morning for you?
I'm over the worst of Covid and couldn't be happier.
What an awful virus to have, I plan to share my experience in a future post.
But first let's have a look back over the past month for my ...
December Review.

It's been a month of new boots for me, which unfortunately I've not been able to wear any since not being able to go out.  Once my isolating is over I plan on trying them all out again with different outfits!

Stylewe Fashion for all ages.

Hello and welcome.
If you've not visited my blog before - why?  you've missed a lot! 
It's okay you can catch up on past posts quite easily in the side bar. lol!

Basing today's outfit on a scarf I acquired,  this black and gold/mustard square scarf found it's way into my collection and after seeing Emma from Style Splash wearing her black culottes, I decided to throw caution to the wind and regardless of what the weather was doing donned my own!  
I quite simply chucked on a mustard t shirt along with my cute mustard waterfall cardigan and the scarf fell into place.
Upon seeing the pictures I noticed that the two mustard colours look really different, in real life they are very similar - I'm hoping I'll get away with this, but what do you think?













Today I've been asked to share with you a super collection from the wonderful on line fashion shopping platform - Stylewe, featuring independent fashion designers.
They are committed to provide shoppers with original, high quality and exclusive fashion products from independent designers.
They say and I quote:
"We bring together designers and fashion covering many different styles. We hope that every one of our customers will find their own unique and exclusive designer fashions at Stylewe."

Looking through their vast collection of clothes ranging from dresses, tops, bottoms, outerwear and sportswear plus a fabulous collection of shoes, bags and accessories!  I defy anyone not find a perfect outfit for any occasion, and then truly enjoy "Designers at your Fingertips".

Stylewe state and I quote,
"We believe fashion should be personal and diversified.  Fashion designers should not cater exclusively to the rich and famous.  We have dedicated ourselves to enabling talented fashion designers to build their own brands and achieve their dream."

I'd love to know what you'd pick, please leave a comment as to what it would be.

Thinking about the huge collection Stylewe have on their site. I thought I'd share a little idea with you all.
So hypothetically speaking I'll show you what I'd be buying for myself if I was a different age, one for a 20 year old, one for a 30 year old and one for me now, in my 50's.


In my 50's

Now this is my style for sure, royal blue velvet swing dress, with long sleeves, v neckline and darling bow detailed belt, making this dress very elegant and stylish. This is stunning and right up my street, a perfect length, smashing colour and could accommodate silver, black or pewter accessories along with colours such as pink or yellow if you feel bold enough!
Suitable for many special occasions, including weddings, christenings and special anniversaries. 
Wanting another idea? then why not check out Stylewe website to view other winning designer beauties.
Royal blue party dress



£91.45
Royal Blue Swing Dress.




In my 20's 

I had a couple of rompers that I used to wear in my younger days, and fell head over heels for this one. 
White is always fabulous in the warmer, sunny weather and this stylish example is actually a two piece, but being the same cotton blend material is classed as a romper!
A broderie anglaise all over effect gives a subtle old English feel, but with a sassy vibe - perfect for beach holidays or festival parties.  Oh to be 20 again!
Rompers for sale - this charming white pick is just one of many on this site - long, short, sleeves or off-the-shoulder styles, take you pick!


£83.83
White two piece Cotton Blend, casual pierced Romper with Belt.



In my 30's.
I adore this gorgeous dress, I imagine I'm wearing this for a wedding on some sunny beach in a tropical destination, the only other items I'll need - a tan and some dazzling high heels! (OK maybe not on the beach, but you get the idea)  Again I've gone for lace - always loved it and always will!
This sexy white party dresses  from part of the superb collection from Stylewe's website,  this could be on your wish list but if this doesn't quite float your boat, pop over to see what else they have.



£99.07
Ivory Dress with sequins and lace - Beautiful!


Hope you can go check out the stunning collection at Stylewe.  They ship worldwide so there really is nothing to stop you. 
I know for sure you'll find plethora of outfits all waiting to fill your wardrobe and make you stand out above the crowd.

Catch me next Monday, until then it's been interesting,

Lotus Shoes, Let me share a shoe boot.

Morning everyone - How are you doing?

Today's blog comes from a very happy Mummabstylish.  Let me tell you why that is.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Lotus Shoes - yes me!  I was so, so pleased when they emailed me to ask if I'd like to write a gift post for them!  Would I? Let me think about this .... YES.

They suggested I look through their collection of shoe boots to pick out a few favourites and go from there.
Have you ever tried to narrow down your favourite from a collection that are all super cute and would look great on my feet and compliment my wardrobe?

Having bought a couple of items from Lotus footwear in the past I knew from the off they'd be perfect - and perfect they were.

I settled on these absolute darlings.




The gorgeous Lotus *Jacaranda floral ankle boot arrived in the box wrapped in crisp white paper, I fell for them straight away - knowing they would be worn and appreciated, and look super cute as well.  Once I put them on, well what can I say - they slipped on in the same way that Cinderella's glass slipper did.  The soft insole felt like I was walking on clouds of marshmallow, I don't know about you but I really struggle to get comfortable shoes that look on point - you can obviously see and hear that these were perfect and did both!  The Jacaranda floral shoe boot comes in three colour choices, navy, black or burgundy, but I knew navy was the one for me but for £59.99  I might be adding either of the other colours some time soon!





Isn't the pattern adorable - and the navy makes such a change from black.  The patent heel is a winner height-wise, not too flat, but not too high.  They fasten with an inside zip, making them quick and easy to put on - don't you just hate having to struggle to fasten boots up?






Taking full advantage of the weather on my morning visit to The Crescent Turner for morning tea and a nosey around.  This impressive location boasts stunning views across the estuary, a five minute drive to the sea front and some welcoming eateries including Wheelers that I mentioned in my previous post Here.
This occasion was definitely one that deserved a 'proper' shoot  (I say that very slightly tongue-in-cheek - because I'm not a model, lol) so I enlisted the help of my talented god-daughter Esther Ruby see previous blog posts here and here.




How do you like the matching bag?  Because me -  I'm over the moon with the #MyLotus *Arvida Tote Handbag that arrived along side the boots. 
It's just the right size for me, I like to throw everything in a bag and go, with this I'll look super stylish as I do!
Navy was one of the colours missing from my collection & this Arvida fits in so well. With handles long enough to pull onto your shoulder and a zipper across the top, everything stays safe inside.  It has three pockets, including a phone holder.  The half flower pattern makes this bag an eye-catching piece of arm candy and a striking addition to any handbag collection.
Why not check them out yourself, you're sure to find one or two you like!

I figured, for morning tea at this stylish boutique hotel, a bold patterned long line shirt over straight leg trousers, would look fabulous.  Both these items are from Matalan & they compliment the shoe boots and bag so well, I can't wait to wear this again. 
I love to hear your comments, which I so look forward to reading.

A very big 'shout out' to my beautiful and talented god-daughter Esther Ruby for producing some fantastic photographs - Thank you. X

Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are my own opinions and 100% honest.


Linking with Poshclassymom, Shelbeeontheedge and Elegantlydressedandstylis
Until tomorrow.  Bye. X
