Millie Mackintosh.










I'm surprised I haven't done this earlier but I thought I'd do a post about my biggest style icon, Millie Mackintosh off Made In Chelsea. I've watched the show since day 1 and ever since that first episode I've been so drawn to her clothes, hair and make up. Basically her all round image. She always looks so naturally elegant which I love, and is something that I would love someone to say about me. Her fashion is kind of a boho yet classy look and she manages to carry it off from daytime through to nighttime. Going by what I've read in interviews and seen on her twitter, she buys a lot of her clothes from Zara, which is one of my favourite shops EVER. I love how sophisticated yet feminine their clothes are and everytime I go in I just want to buy everything. The pictures here are some of my favourite of her outfits. I'd have to say my all time favourite look of hers is the 1920s look in the last photo, which was taken during the last episode of season 2 of Made In Chelsea. I'm obsessed with the whole 1920s Great Gatsby look anyway and this just epitomises everything about that era. So so glamorous.  I also love Millie's make up and how natural it is, yet still looks flawless. It just shows that there's no need to cake it on like some celebrities do and I think this kind of look is just so much better.
I cannot wait for the next series of the show, purely just to see more of her outfits. I've seen tweets saying that they're filming it at the moment so it can't be that far off now, yay!

Thanks for reading

This week in photos.


(Flying high back from Munich; My view of the Alps; Vanity; Rainy day in Leeds; New Superga's; Chocolates off my boyf.)

Thought I'd hit up a different vibe today and upload some instagram photos. (Yes, I am on the instagram hype now. ellishare_x if you want to follow hint hint.) Going to be doing a post like this every week hopefully just to give a brief overview of my week without explaining it in words, clever huh. As you can see, I've just got back from Germany for a week, hence the lack of posts, and as soon as my parents are back from Italy with my camera I'll upload some photos from it. I'm also going to London a week today, which I CANNOT wait for, so I'm going to try and get some good pictures from that, as well as make the most of the opportunity for some new outfit posts. 

Hope you're all well

Lady In Red


Outfit post time! I'm also very excited that this is my first ever blog post from my new iPad 3 so I'm feeling very high tech at the moment, go me . I wore this dress on Friday night when I went out to Mechu bar and late lounge in Birmingham for my friends birthday. It's from Topshop and I actually got it New Years this year but I love it so much I just want to wear it all the time. Red is my favourite colour to wear anyway but what really draws me to this dress is the tassels on it. I'm obsessed with the style and culture of the 1920s and I think this dress showcases that era perfectly so I just could not resist it when I saw it in store. The lipstick that I'm wearing is one of the Kate Moss for Rimmel ones and I have to say I'm really impressed by it. It gives a great colour on my lips and doesn't make them feel dry which is a big deal for me as I absolutely hate having dry lips. It actually lasts quite a long time as well which is an added bonus considering how reasonable the price is. To fit in with the red theme, I thought I'd add a picture of my drink for the night, Cointreau and cranberry juice, nothing beats it in my opinion!
