Steal Her Style! Jessie J goes girly

We love Jessie J in these gorgeous pictures for Glamour Magazine USA! We love Jessie anyway - her fierce feminist attitude as well as her honest personality on The Voice at the moment has cemented her in our books as a firm favourite. We found these gorgeous photos from a recent shoot for Glamour USA and particularly loved the simplicity of the bottom one. Jessie's personality shines through amazingly and although she can totally do it like a dude, we think she's rocking the girly girly look too! We hope those Americans love her out there as much as we Brits do back at home! 

Jessie's crocheted dress is a little too daring for us at FashionistA - although we do like to push fashion boundaries we're just sure we'd never pull it off as well as Jessie. Luckily the high street has come up trumps for us again with this gorgeous offering from Motel! It's crocheted enough to please us but less see through - this pleases us even more. Isn't it beautiful? 

Plus, we love a long sleeve in this unpredictable weather! One thing we can totally take from Jessie and wear ourselves is her bold lip look. We love the contrast between the dress and the bold classic red lip so have taken to our lipstick stash to wear Red Carpet - our perfect red. The new modern combo!

What do you think of Jessie's girly look? Do you like the Motel dress and Red Carpet Lipstick combo?

Statement Clutch Bags

Following on from our chatter earlier on Facebook about Clutch Bags, we went in search of some of the web's finest FashionistAs to get us inspired on how to wear the ASOS Statement Clutch we found earlier. We rocked ours with some blue gel eyeliner - our FashionistA one in Exhibition, as well as Nude Nail Lacquer. We wanted to delve further into the land of clutch bags though and when we found out this gorgeous two tone buckle clutch came in three primary shades, we went about getting some inspiration.

There are numerous ways you can wear a clutch bag and it really depends on your style. You can match your clutch bag with your outfit, which the blue one is so perfect for! You can also rock a pastel trend, and although the yellow is a very vibrant yellow, it would still work with a cute coral dress or similar pastel tones. You can of course, keep it super simple with just a plain white shirt and a red clutch bag. We love how the girl in the first image accessorised it though with those patterned leggings - a really cute detail and something you could definitely pick up cheaply on the high street.

Don't be afraid of a clutch, it can be your best friend. Just get used to carrying something around and make sure you don't go leaving it behind!

The ASOS one featured can be found here.

Do you use a clutch bag? How would you wear one if not?

Retro Inverted Nails

Get retro 40s glam with a reverse french manicure and be the talk of all your friends! We've chosen our beautiful Hidden Treasure as a base because it's sparkly and girly but still soft and subtle, and tipped off the ends with In Love, which is a deep plum purple. It creates a gorgeous art deco 40s style look that isn't just eye-catching but unique too. 

The look is really simple to do, just paint the nails all over with Hidden Treasure, don't worry too much if it's a bit wobbly at the tip because you're going to paint over it. Wait for Hidden Treasure to dry and then put In Love on the tips, painting gently with the nail brush. 

Just because we're so not over the whole Lana Del Rey look yet and it totally ties in with the vintage/retro 40s look, here's a shirt we're full on lusting over from Zara that we think would be perfect with these nails! What do you think? FashionistA HQ is right in the center of London so we might even swing by after work today to grab it - it's been on our minds all weekend! Don't you think it'd look fierce with this mani?

What do you think of the reverse manicure and the Zara shirt?

FashionistA loves...Zara

For Spring/Summer, Zara has come out trumps at the top of the high street picks and it's fast becoming one of FashionistA's favourite place to shop. We're absolutely loving the soft pastel trends and the multi-coloured pop skinny jeans! There's some amazing stand out pieces including clutch bags and heels that will add new textures and colours to your outfit.

We're getting close to the weekend and hoping it's going to stay as sunny as it has done over the last few days! We're loving piecing together outfits and nails and hoping the sun isn't going anywhere. How are you planning on dressing for Spring? We love to hear what you think and how you are getting inspired by the High Street at the moment!

Those shoes in the bottom left (aren't they beautiful?) have reminded us of how much we love bright nails so we've decided to adorn our nails in the gorgeous polish that is Hot Pink! Following on from our pink picks earlier on our Facebook page, don't you think these nails just look fab with those pastel blue skinny jeans?

Tell us what you think of Zara and any picks you have seen yourself in there recently!

And it was all Yellow...

We're a bit scared of Yellow. It's such a bright colour that we feel definitely takes a lot of guts to carry off. Although it's primarily associated with happiness and joy (well it makes us feel happy anyway) it's very bright and can really portray a bold statement. We were rummaging through Primark's latest collections when we saw this yellow ensemble, entirely from Primark! Wow. Primark to us means messy floors, frenzied buyers and cheap dodgy clothing! But look at that! It's absolutely gorgeous and is very hot for Spring trends. Everyone around you might be wearing pastels but yellow gives you the opportunity to stand out. Our only problem is, we're not 100% confident to wear it fully, especially not how this model is wearing it!

So how do you wear yellow? Help us in our confused and nervous state! We're popping out to the shops tomorrow and will report back with any yellow findings later on - but for now we want to know how you wear yellow or if you even wear yellow at all! Should we rock some yellow or are we getting too carried away with Summer approaching...
Love, FashionistA xo
