BURGUNDY

2012-03-19T07:46:00.000-07:00

I finally have the blogging bug back again. Yay! This was just a quick outfit I wore to go in for a group meeting in uni, nothing special or exciting but I like it. It's simple. I like simple. That sentence makes me sound simple! Alas, it is true - simple does it for me. The outfit just kind of fell together which is nice. I like it when something you've planned out in your head comes out exactly as you want it to in real life. Makes the day go a little bit easier. The burgundy colour of the top is a favourite of mine. It is a dressier colour - if colours can be segmented this way (?!) making the outfit seem a bit less relaxed. I like relaxed but I like to look like I've made the effort too!

THE OUTCOME

2012-03-18T04:04:00.000-07:00

So in the end I went with the denim shorts & the body. I wasn't too keen on it at first but I actually kind of like it now. I added my Zara studded belt & my orange H&M bag for a bit of colour. Pretty happy with it. It was an alright night, feeling pretty fresh today which is always a good thing!

Shorts - Miss Selfridge Body - Asos Bag - H&M Belt - Zara Shoes - Dorothy Perkins

I had a good time dancing. I love dancing on a night out. Drink in one hand, pulling some shapes - it is the most fun part of a night out apart from the getting ready part. It feels amazing just letting go & having some fun on the dance floor!

WHAT TO WEAR

2012-03-14T07:25:00.001-07:00

Right my lovely people, I need your help in choosing what to wear out on Saturday night. As I'm sure you are aware it is St Patricks Day, it's always a big night out ... I missed it last year but this year I plan to have a really good one. It sounds like I'm talking about New Years or something but anyways I have three outfits choices each based around a black v-neck body from ASOS. The fourth picture was meant to give you a better look at it, whether it does or doesn't who knows!

The club we are going to is one of those sort of theme-less clubs I guess you could say, dressing up or not doesn't really matter but being a weag, I like to dress up & make an effort. So here are the options...

Outfit One.

Body - Asos

Skirt - H&M

Leopard Belt - Accessorize

Shoes - Dorothy Perkins

I had thought about using my orange bag, seen below, but it might be too much with the leopard I think!

Outfit Two.

Body - Asos

Shorts - Miss Selfridge

Bag - H&M

Shoes - Dorothy Perkins

Bit more casual I'd say but I quite like the casual-dressy ness of it.

Outfit Three.

Body - Asos

Skirt - H&M

Shoes - Dorothy Perkins

I bought this skirt weeks and weeks ago but have yet to show it the bright lights of Edinburgh night life. I love it but I'm not too sure whether it looks too small?! I was also thinking this skirt might be nice with the white chiffon top seen here

Let me know what you think!

BACK

2012-03-13T02:42:00.001-07:00

Hello! I know I have been missing for a little while but uni & life, really, got a bit crazy. I have missed blogging a lot actually! I was sitting this morning with nothing to do, normally I would be flicking through, flicking or clicking (?!), take your pick ladies!

I will be back to normally posting as of now, promise. I want you lovely ladies opinions on an outfit which I will post probably tomorrow. It is for St Patricks on Saturday, going to be a fun night I think. So your opinions would be very much welcomed. Only took me 13 days to blog in March. My apologies.

The top quote is just a little reminder for me, I am a major worrier. I really just need to chill, focus on what is important & if it is meant to be it will be!

THE SIMPLE LIFE?

2012-02-28T01:21:00.000-08:00

I've never really taken notice of Nicole Richie until recently. She has some beautiful make up looks.

BLACK & LACE

2012-02-26T08:03:00.000-08:00

Last night was my friends Birthday night out, it was such a good night. Had so much fun & a little too much to drink but it's only her Birthday once a year! Excuses! This is what I wore with the orange clutch I blogged about before. The dress is a Zara special, only £25.99 - Bargain. It has lace sections above the cut outs but obviously from wearing a bra you can't see it. It is such a lovely dress & I really liked wearing it. I think I need some more colour about my face, on my lips I think! My face looks weird in this photo also... amazing night though!

CLUTCHING ONTO ORANGE

2012-02-25T02:11:00.000-08:00

Meet my new bag. Isn't she gorgeous! H&M £12.99. Steal. Orange is my favourite colour, if you take part in the Celina Fabise quiz 2012 & favourite colour comes up, you're sorted! It is a beautiful rich orange suedette (I presume) with beige patent section. I was searching for a black clutch as mine are getting a little done looking but my eyes met with Orange here, I checked her out & she was mine. *Story slightly romanticised*

I plan on debuting this little beaut on my arm tonight with my new Zara dress, I will get decent outfit pictures & show you both! Promise.

IN YOUR FACE

2012-02-24T08:15:00.000-08:00

These jeans I am not 100% sure about. They are very red. Proper bright, in your face red. They drew a few looks on the streets today. I love the colour but I'm not sure if I am brave enough or confident enough to stroll carelessly down the street in extremely bright trousers. I think part of my dislike is that I'm not too keen on what i have paired them with. I think a plain v neck tshirt & a chunky gold necklace with nude pumps would have been nicer. Less preppy... This is what I wore today nonetheless!

I am considering going darker on the hair front, I just can't get my make up to work for me just now. My skin is rubbish just now which I don't think is helping. Generally feeling poopy!

TIED WITH A BOW

2012-02-23T09:04:00.000-08:00

Top - River Island

Ribbon tied in a bow - Card shop

Belt - Zara

Shorts - Levi vintage

Boots - Topshop Alec's

Leather jacket - Oasis

Bag - Topshop

I love this green top. It was a total steal at £12 but it has become a firm favourite of mine. I bought a meter of black ribbon from a gift shop to use as a bow at the neck which I think adds a bit of interest to the outfit & makes it more versatile. All about versatility am I. The ever famous Levi shorts back another appearance, I am going to get a second pair tomorrow! I tore one of the rips a bit more today with my big stupid foot but you can't really tell...

I bought a new outfit for the weekend which I love & am so excited to wear. I love it when this happens, you lose hope of finding something then it all appears to you, angels sing & a bright light shines round the item. Just me this happens to?!

BASIC

2012-02-20T05:08:00.000-08:00

Tshirt - Topman Shorts - Levi Belt - Zara Scarf & ring - H&M bracelet - Boutique in Glasgow

A really simple, easy outfit. I was in uni for a couple of hours then heading to work so thought I would keep it simple. White tshirt from Topman - they have much better basics than Topshop, don't get me wrong Topshop is my one true love but they need to work on their basics. Anyways, I wore my Levi shorts (again!) I love them. The patch on the bum is falling off so might invest in a second pair. The belt is a Zara summer sale find that adds a bit of interest & edge - I guess you could say - to the outfit. The scarf is very old H&M which was added for warmth & colour! Basic. Simple. Nothing exciting really!

BAGS OF LOVE

2012-02-19T12:44:00.000-08:00

Do you ever just get a certain item that no matter what you will always go back to? This brown bag is just that for me. It was a 21st Birthday gift & although I have broken the fastening by loading too much of my rubbish into it, it is a bag I always go back to. This week I have done just that. It is very structured with plenty of room inside, really a perfect bag. I initially longed for a bag in this style after seeing it in earlier posts from Karla of Karla Closet and on Lady Melbourne.

P.S. Ignore my minging carpet ... the landlords skimped on that point! It is hideous.

YELLOW & STRIPES

2012-02-17T06:29:00.000-08:00

Tshirt - Charity shop. Skirt & ring - H&M Barbour Daphne Black flats - New Look Nails - Mavala for Elle Grey

First off ignore my leopard prints slippers, I didn't think they would make there way into the picture... Asda £4 is anyone is interested. Comfy ass slippers, let me tell you! Anyway, this t shirt was a charity shop find and a total bargain at that. It still it the original Mango label on it saying it was £19.50, I got it for £8.50! How good is that. It is something a little different from a standard striped t shirt, the yellow is a nice splash of brightness too. I was umming over what to wear it with this morning but settled for my black bandage skirt - can't go wrong really. I think I need more definition about my eyes, they just seem to be sunk in my head today, if you get me?! I need to put on more eye make up. Help!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

GREEN WITH COLLAR

2012-02-15T04:12:00.000-08:00

I was planning on doing an outfit post with this new top from River Island but I just can't be bothered getting my camera set up & trying to get decent shots so I am afraid a web cam shot will have to do for today. This top was only £12 but it is a really easy to wear piece that goes with pretty much everything. My only moan - the colour selection. I got the green, it is brighter than pictured but not by much a sort of grass green (?!) or a mushroom colour that was really bland & I doubt would do much for any skin tone or a Barbie almost highlighter pink that River Island seem to be very fond of. I went for green - I don't wear any green really so I thought it would be a nice change. I teamed it with my Levi shorts, leopard print belt, black tights, black flats & my Barbour Daphne jacket. All of which you have seen before.

MAXI

2012-02-14T07:21:00.000-08:00

Top, cardigan, skirt & boots - Topshop Leather jacket - Oasis bag - Marc B Scarf - Vintage Belt - Accessorize

This is my first ever maxi, bought back in December I have worn it twice (including this outing). I love it when I actually think 'screw it, I'm wearing it' but find myself umming & ahhhing over whether it is too much. After todays outing, it is a firm favourite in my wardrobe. Of course there had to be a little bit of leopard included - I love my leopard print! I ended up not wearing the knitted scarf as it is a little mild, instead I opted for a black & white spotted silk scarf.

LEOPARD INSPIRATION

2012-02-14T01:35:00.002-08:00

<3 ... All from Tumblr.

FROM LIGHT TO DARKER

2012-02-13T02:52:00.000-08:00

Before ...

After ...

The bleached hair is gone. Say hello to my much shorter, darker blonde pixie crop. I am loving it. It feels so much healthier & was in desperate need of a cut.

RED TROUSERS

2012-02-12T02:33:00.000-08:00

Top Zara. Trousers H&M. Bag Primark. Necklace Topshop. Shoes New Look.

I went for dinner & drinks with an old flat mate. I love getting dressed up so this was a perfect excuse. These are the H&M trousers mentioned in previous posts, these are obviously the red version - who'd have guessed?! - and a firm favourite. This was their first outing. They are bright but they are gorgeous & I love them. I kept everything else pretty simple - black with gold accessories. Perfect.

BURNT ORANGE

2012-02-10T05:04:00.000-08:00

Dress is Topshop. Shoes are New Look. Tights are Marks & Spencers.

These Topshop dresses were everywhere last year. Everyone had one. I haven't worn mine in ages. Then this morning I randomly decided to wear it again. I love it - I was chubbier when I bought the dress so it is a little bit loose fitting but I think it works. It is a beautiful colour - burnt orange I would say - has a peter pan collar & beautiful bell sleeves. Love. I was in two minds whether people would be like "oh my god that is last years Topshop" but then I thought the people that notice this fact don't matter & the ones that matter don't notice!

NUDE

2012-02-08T03:05:00.000-08:00

Top & Belt - H&M Cardigan - ASOS Shorts - Levi Scarf - Marks and Spencers (about ten year ago)

Just a simple outfit. I had an hour at uni & then a long wait till I started work at five. I feel like sometimes I get a bit lost about what I want to wear in case it is a bit 'meh' but I can always rely on my Levi shorts. The cardigan was a Christmas present from my lovely brother that I haven't worn as much as I thought I would but I do really love it. I need your help - I am getting my hair done on Friday and I cannot for the life of my decided between a sort of light brown/dark blonde (similar to my natural colour) or a mid to dark golden brown. What do you think? I am in total limbo about which one.

I just wore my New Look slip on shoes (Cannot for the life of me remember what they are called), my Barbour Daphne & my Topshop bag ... all seen before no doubt!

BLAND

2012-02-07T08:13:00.000-08:00

Jumper, Shirt & Trousers - H&M Shoes - New Look

I was feeling really bland & boring today wearing this. I don't know why - maybe because it is basically black, cream & brown?! I love these pieces but I wasn't sure what I wanted to wear so this was the outcome. I like it. Do not love it. I feel like Spring 2012 is all about beautiful pastel shades not browns... I think it is the jumper that is bothering me. Bring on the brights!

BLONDE VS BRUNETTE

2012-02-06T13:02:00.000-08:00

If you followed my previous blog then you would have seen my change from brunette, well technically a deep red that had faded to brown, to peroxide blonde. Now nearly six months on, I am considering going back to the brunette side. My hair is dry - very dry, straw like you could say - and as I have a pixie crop my roots come in quickly which adds extra to my six weekly haircut. Don't get me wrong, I love - loved could be the more appropriate word - blonde hair. It was something I really wanted to do & am so glad I did it but recently I have been thinking about going back to my natural colour, well close to my natural colour - I'm thinking a deep golden brownm think Frankie Sanford - & back to an extremely short pixie crop. Of course I have been going from one extreme to another over what to do but brown is on the cards. Change is never a bad thing.

HOW TO STEAL A MILLION

2012-02-04T10:49:00.000-08:00

Audrey Hepburn. The fashion. Her eye make up. The Lace Mask.

CASUAL DINNER

2012-02-03T04:30:00.000-08:00

Top - Zara Trousers - H&M Necklace - Miss Selfridge Boots - Topshop Lipstick - Revlon Matte

I went for dinner with an old flatmate the other night, nothing fancy. A burger & a pitcher in Spoons. Classy. I always make an effort to look nice - even if I am just going to uni or out for a wander - it is important to me. Why have nice clothes that you don't wear? I had planned on wearing some small heeled shoe boots but it was just too cold to go without socks so my Topshop 'Alec' boots stepped up. I actually really like the casual feel of the outfit mixed with the more dressed up pieces - the clutch, for example. I threw on a cardigan (for layers), my Gap dinner jacket & my faithful fur stole. I was also wearing Revlon Pink pout - a new buy - a firm favourite. It was hard to photograph, in the second picture I look like a stunned doll, but it is a gorgeous milky purple toned pink. Is that mixture even possible?! Similar to MAC snob but I'd say more wearable. (These pictures have also made me realise I badly need my hair cut!)

DAYDREAMING

2012-02-02T05:37:00.000-08:00

Clutch bags. Bangles. Cuffs. Ring.

NAVY & ORANGE

2012-02-01T02:48:00.000-08:00

Jacket - Gap Jumper - Zara Chiffon top - H&M Trousers -H&M Shoes - Fred Perry Necklace, Bag & Faux fur stole - Topshop

An outfit put together in my head that actually turned out how I wanted it too! This rarely occurs. These are the H&M trousers mentioned before but in navy - I love them. They are just perfect trousers & a perfect price. I had planned on wearing some nude ballet flats alas it was not meant to be. Step forward my trusty tennis shoes, these bad boys are well & truly past their best (they come complete with tiny holes where my toes have torn through the canvas.) Basically they need to be replaced! The blazer is a Gap evening jacket from years ago but it was worn really well & is a little too big giving the over sized boyfriend effect. I like it.

GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES

2012-01-31T05:50:00.000-08:00

'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'. A classic movie. One of my favourites if you ever ponder the crucial question that is 'what is her favourite film?' - you now know. Growing up my mum introduced me to the world of "old movies" & the romance was born. I always wanted to be Jane Russell as a child. The lines & the general put together look of the times is beautiful. Classy.

LEOPARD

2012-01-29T05:11:00.000-08:00

Dress - Topshop

These are terribly static photos - I don't even have my eyes open in one - but I wanted to show you this dress. It was £15 - £10 gift card made it a grand total of £5. Bargain. I was a bit nervous about this dress, it is tight & there is no way to hide unsightly bits you'd rather just keep to yourself but I loved wearing it. It was different, really comfortable ... good buy I would say. I wore it with my platform Dorothy Perkins heels which I am sure will pop up at some point & a black patent clutch. The only thing about a tight fitting dress, a charming male decided it would be okay to give my bum a grope... I did the true ladylike thing & continued walking, dying a little inside.

DREAM BAG

2012-01-28T10:55:00.000-08:00

Spring Summer 2012 dream bag. This little beaut' by Antonia Smythson is simply amazing. The colour, the style, the hardware. Beautiful. I am a big fan of classic clean lines & handbags so basically this is made for me... anyone willing to shell out £950 on this lovely bag that would make one girl very happy?! No, thought not...

BLACK

2012-01-27T07:59:00.000-08:00

Jumper Topshop Trousers H&M Shoes New Look Bag Topshop Fur Stole Topshop Jacket Oasis Necklace Topshop (Many moons ago)

Black. A favourite colour - technically a shade - either way it is a favourite of mine. It goes with everything, looks chic, can be sliming... the list goes on. These trousers were a random find I guess you could say, I spotted them in H&M, saw the £12.99 price tag . Before I knew where I was, they were in a bag & I was striding out of the shop. An amazing buy - really comfy, versatile & affordable. So much so I went & got a navy pair & a red pair. What I really like about them is that although they are jean material making them in all means and purposes - jeans! They don't have the jean style pocketing, they have simple tailored trouser pockets which I love. Can I just apologies for my rather mardy looking face...

NEW ADDITION

2012-01-25T09:15:00.000-08:00

The shoes I have been waiting for finally got collected from the sorting office which was a distressing walk in the first place (Nothing makes me feel more uncomfortable than builders shouting about my backside while I stroll past...) Anyway, these New Look booties were one of those things I tried on everytime I went into the shop but never actually parted with my cold hard cash for. I bought a new dress & thought they would be perfect with them so I search around on Ebay & found them for ... a tenner! The picture quality is odd - I'm still getting the hang of decent pictures, my apologies. Got big plans for these boots this weekend for my flatmates surprise birthday party hopefully they go... watch this space!

SIMPLICITY

2012-01-23T15:10:00.000-08:00

First post ... yay! I recently got a new laptop & as my old laptop died a very slow & painful death with its death I lost all my fashion 'inspiration' pictures - everyone is guilty of these folders - so I had to start from fresh (probably not the worst thing, fresh 'inspiration' can't be a bad thing). While browsing the Zara website, I saw this picture & just fell in love. The simplicity mixed with the over sized clutch, the busy printed bomber & the clean lines of the shoes as well as the texture of the top & the bright jeans just make it so amazing. Simple yet fashionable ... and it is a bit different from the usual mini dress seen in nightclubs across the country.

WELCOME

2012-01-22T04:27:00.000-08:00

Hello & Welcome to Cèlina Fabisè!

You may have ended up here from my previous blog 'Following the Fashion' or you may have stumbled upon this page by chance - either way welcome & I hope you enjoy reading my blog!

As well as welcoming you to my lovely new blog, I want to shine some light on two points...

Number 1 - Why I moved from 'Following the Fashion'?

I had posted on & off over on 'Following the Fashion' since August 2008, I was only 17/18 years old. Now roughly 5 years later at 22, I feel a fresh start is what is needed in order to make blogging fun & interesting again. I had some wonderful followers on 'Following the Fashion', that were always incredibly lovely & I hope that Cèlina Fabisè will be no different! Leave me a little hello if you've come over!

Number 2 - Who or what is Cèlina Fabisè?

Cèlina Fabisè started from a third year University project, I had to create & design a brand. I created Cèlina Fabisè! It was a assignment that I really enjoyed at university & the brand I created was 100% who I want to be so I thought continuing my love for it as my blog name fitted perfectly!

Hopefully that sheds some light on my reasoning for my new blog, I already feel fresh enthusiasm & excitement for this blog. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!
