Trend of the Month: All White Everything!

It's a bit of a late one, but here is my August Trend of the Month!

The colour that I never dare to wear. It's the white season. Even though white is an all rounder colour, I've recently noticed that there is a current hype or all white outfits. From the red carpet to Instagram, celebrities and bloggers are daring to wear all white everything! It's a colour which is quite safe and goes with anything, just like my favourite colour.. Black. 

I have never really been interested in wearing the colour white, however I think that may be just because I don't trust myself wearing white. But the outfits you can create with the colour white are just stunning and quite classy. 

Let's just look back at New York Fashion Week - Spring/Summer 2014:

White was a major theme within designers such as 3.1 Phillip Lim, Michael Kors and Victoria Beckham:


3.1 Phillip Lim - expressing whites through simple tailored garments.
Michael Kors - Going to the beach with the whites, it's so Hamptons.
Victoria Beckham - Keeping it classy and feminine with her white pieces.



So to keep with my beliefs, let's have a look at what high street or online retailers are splashing out whites!

At the moment; missguided happen to have a trend page dedicated to everything white. Even though it may not be an official trend, it's one of those that will be coming back and forth within fashion because as I've said before, it's one of those easy trends. 

To explore missguided.com's white collection, click here. But first, I've decided to share with you my favourite pieces out of all the white:

From left: Dress - £19.99, Top - £14.99, Boots - £29.99

I chose the dress because I'm a big fan of mesh, and the racer top style turns this
bodycon midi dress into something casual yet classy, which I love!
The t-shirt is just something so simple but perfect for any occasion, both day and evening.
And then the boots; the cleated heel/platform, the cut outs - it's just my favourite things
about shoes, in one shoe. I'm a sucker for boots and anything chunky. Here we have it!


And even though I am against all the prices in this store, Topshop do provide beautiful clothes which are to die for, however will always be out of my price range during my student life.


From left: Slogan Tee - £18.00, White Oversized Shirt - £30.00,
White Pleated Sports Skirt - £38.00.

Let's not even discuss the prices of these items, but from browsing through the whites
they have online - I've come to decision that these 3 pieces are my favourite.
I'm always loving any slogan tee, 'same chic, different day' - such a diva saying on
a plain white tee; perfect fashion student top I think! I've always wanted an oversized white
shirt, and this one is just perfect, however the price is not so perfect! Then skirts are one
of my weaknesses, I have many and keep on buying more; I love pleats and with the
sporty waistband - could easily create a preppy sports luxe look with this.

Another Trend of the Month is complete, and apologies for how late it is! I've just been super busy this summer. I hope you all have enjoyed your summer! Bring on Autumn/Winter, and I promise there will be many more blog posts from me, and this time more often as well!




Holiday Diary

Last month I went to Turkey with my boyfriend's family and yet again, I had an amazing time. Even though I haven't been blogging much at all, I hadn't forgotten about 'Natiki Styling' on holiday. As ridiculous as I am, I did pack a different outfit for each day and night, as well as bringing along 9 bikinis and 9 pairs of sunglasses with me for the 10 days we were going to be there. Typical fashion student I guess. 

Anyway, I decided to keep a diary of my favourite outfits throughout. I was lucky enough to have such a beautiful resort to get some photographs for blog purposes (Please excuse the quality of some of the shots, camera didn't really work great with certain lighting).
