Shoe Zone | Nude Cap Ballerina Pumps | LOOK BOOK

Hi ladies! Today I have a post which I am very excited to do, It has taken me a while to plan out this post as I have been experimenting with photographs, scenes and outfits!

The brand in today's post is a brand I'm sure the majority of you Brits have heard of, they have a shop in almost every town I've been to and I have shopped with them from being a child, to now..

SHOE ZONE

Recently I have been trying out a pair of ballerina pumps from Shoe Zone which I fell in love with the second I unboxed the shoes, and what better way to show them off than to do a look book!
The shoes I am taking about are the Lilley Women's Toe Cap Ballerina Pumps in Nude, these beauties are only £7.99 at the moment on the Shoe Zone website ( www.shoezone.com ) which is a bargain for a decent pair of flats which are practical in so many ways. There is also free delivery when you order online which is always a bonus.
Below I have created three different looks using these ballerina pumps, this is so you can get an idea as too where to wear them, what to wear them with and what I thought of the shoes myself, so here we go..

Look 1 - Festival

 
This was such a relevant look to do as it is officially festival season, when I hear the word 'Festival' I think of maxi dresses, sunnies, hats and comfy shoes. These shoes would obviously not be great for a muddy festival field but on a nice day they would work a treat as there both comfortable and on trend.
 

I just love these pumps, the gold toe cap is such a beautiful feature and makes what would be your everyday pumps into something unique. The colour is so flattering as they blend in so well with the outfit I am wearing above and below, they are also available in black if the nude colour isn't your cup of tea!


I paired these stylish ballerina pumps with a River Island maxi dress, which is my favourite maxi dress, I get so much use out of it, especially in this gorgeous weather. I thought this dress would go perfect with the ballerina pumps as the dress has nude tones in, to match with the shoes, plus its also very comfy to walk around in. I believe you could also dress this outfit up with a nice over sized clutch bag if your not a festival kind of girl!

Look 2 - Special Occasion

 
Look 2 is based around a look I would go for if I were to go to something such as a wedding or christening, but its also quite casual for if I wanted to wear this outfit on a normal day.
I rolled up the bottom of these trousers so you could see the shoes more clearer, but also to show you that if you wanted to wear these trousers on a casual day, you could roll them up to create a more summery look. I styled the trousers with a white cropped lace top which was from the teenage section in Matalan. As its summer I added some sunglasses from La Moda UK and created a simple ponytail updo to add elegance to the whole look.


The bag I chose is a Lulu Guinness purse, it is a purse, however it is quite big therefore can be used on its own as a clutch or you could pop it in a bag.


Due to the bold colours within these New Look trousers I didn't think the shoes would match, however as they are a nude tone they blend in very well.

Look 3 - Summer Fun


This is my favourite look of all three, the ballerina shoes go perfectly with this look, even with such a bold pattern and strong colours in the shorts. I added a statement necklace to this look, by putting it on the shortest clip, the necklace just appears under the collar adding a hint of detail but still sticking to summertime colours. My hair is casual here as in summer its to hot to be messing around with my hair, plus there is no wind to make my hair frizzy.

 
As you can see from the picture above, these shoes are so handy to get about with! You can walk forever and your feet will still feel great and look fab at the same time.


The collar t-shirt I am wearing here is from IWantYourClothes, I actually won this t-shirt on twitter and cant stop wearing it ever since. I felt extremely feminine in this outfit, as I normally go for something quick and easy to put on, but now I am going to start discovering my adventurous clothes more! This outfit could be dressed up or down, either way it would still look amazing.
 
As you can see from all three looks, there are so many ways to style these pumps, as they are a nude colour, it would be impossible for them not to match with something!
You could wear these ballerina pumps to the beach, picnic, shopping, the options are endless!
 
I would highly recommend anyone looking for some cheap but good quality shoes, to check out Shoe Zones huge range of shoes, there's a pair for everyone!

Pamela Mann Pearl Heart Stud Suspender tights

Are you looking for somewhere to get beautiful hosiery? Then I think I have found the perfect place. I came across a website called www.pamelamann.co.uk (click the website link to be taken to the website).
 
Pamela Mann is a hosiery heaven; simply an online shop with lots and lots of leg wear. They've got funky socks, coloured opaque tights, fashion leggings, sexy stockings and holdups, to name a few. Actually, they've got every colour, pattern and style imaginable. If you still don't believe me, take a peek at their website in the link above - there really is something for everyone! All the patterned tights are hand embellished and printed in the UK in the Hinckley factory.
 
So I wanted to get in with all the hype and try a pair out myself, which is why I am here to review a very glamorous pair of Pearl Heart Stud Suspender tights! What I thought would be a great idea was to do a look book, then you can see how I styled up these tights and hopefully I can persuade you to take a look at their website.
 
Firstly I will leave a link to the pair of tights I am wearing throughout my look book so you can purchase them for yourselves. Click HERE.
These particular tights value at £7.99 which is a bargain if you ask me, they come in one size (8-14).
 
Look 1:
 

 
These suspender tights go brilliant with any type of shorts or skirt, here I am wearing a skort which goes great with the tights as they're black with hints of red. I love skorts for summer, however I haven't seen many people in them therefore I am embarrassing them! The only problem with this outfit is that you can't see the heart studs, in fact you can only see one. This is my 'night out'  look, I added a pair of heels to dress this look up, however you could make it look more casual by pairing this outfit with some flats. This outfit actually looks a bit gothic with the dark colours and tattoo choker. If I styled this outfit with a pair of boots then this outfit would be perfect for a festival!
 
Top: New Look
Skort: Shout
Tights: Pamela Mann
Heels: Topshop
Tattoo Choker: Matalan
 
 Look 2:
 (For some reason the pattern on the skirt turned out blurry, Sorry for that)

 
Look 2 is a casual/everyday look which reminds me of an outfit I would see in the classic film 'Clueless', I love the turtle neck with the mini skirt, it adds class to the whole outfit. I prefer this look better than look 1 as you can see more detail on the tights. The metallic loafers are a great colour as they go perfect with the turtle neck. This outfit could be worn during winter or even summer if you styled the skirt and tights up with a short sleeved or sleeveless top.
 
Top: Gap
Tights: Pamela Mann
Skirt: H&M
Loafers: Dune London
 
Look 3:
 
 
 
And last by not least is look 3: The summer look! The good thing about this outfit is that you can see all the heart studs on the tights which adds a very pretty effect. Two pieces are one of my favourite trends at the moment and this little number leaves no exceptions, the light colours make the outfit perfect for summer. I was expecting the tights to not match with this outfit due to the colours being opposite to each other but it works brilliantly. I styled this outfit with ankle boots as I wanted to show that you can dress these tights with almost any footwear, as its a summer look boots may have not been the best idea HOWEVER as the tights are thin the boots wont make your feet sweat as much as they would with thick socks. I wouldn't recommend the ankle boots for a mega hot summers day such as a day at the beach, in this case I would style them with dolly shoes or espadrilles. 
 
Top and shorts: Mary Jane fashion
Tights: Pamela Mann
Ankle Boots: Matalan
 
The tights are very comfy, easy to apply and fit really well (not to tights or to baggy). I thought that the suspender looks would make these tights look a tad bit tacky but once I saw them they looked beautiful and don't look tacky at all, therefore my tip for you is don't judge before you try for yourself.
 
I hope you enjoyed looking through my look book and that I have persuaded you to take a look at these tights or any others that you fancy! If that doesn't persuade you.. its FREE UK DELIVERY! What's better than that!
 
Thank you for reading & I hope you all have a lovely week!
