Festival Fashion :PP

Nirvana Smiley Black Dolman – backstreet-merch.com

Black Shoes – Mango

Cesca ‘Studdy Buddy’ Studded Faux Leather Backpack – Nordstrom

Jeffrey Campbell ‘Lita’ Tiger Print boots – Karmaloop

Since this is a festival getup, it makes sense to wear a band t-shirt but you don't have to be a fan or a music lover to wear band tops... (I have to admit I only chose this top because the way the sleeves are cut makes it look super cute :o). 

Also, even though I'm a satchel sort of person, I think a satchel wouldn't work as well as that backpack which makes it practical as well as stylish. 

And since tiger face prints are trending right now, it makes sense to have them on a pair of Jeffrey Campbell 'Lita' boots...right? :D

Skull ‘N’ Black

Stud detail skull print t-shirt – Mango

Highwaisted skinny jeans – tillys.com

Black slouch wing tote bag – New Look

Jeffrey Campbell ‘Lita’ boots – solestruck.com

This outfit is speaks casual. A perfect combination that's great for everyday around the house - but once you add the boots and bag, it keeps it casual and at the same time, it looks like you know how to dress. For those rainy or windy days, team this up with a camouflage or army print biker jacket with black sleeves. Something similar to this underground army jacket by Nasty Gal. :)

August Favourites :)

Skirt – thecorner.com

Dress – jackwills.com

Shoes – nelly.com

The Marta Ferri midrise floral skirt is trendy and very pretty. It’s very summery and can be worn with a crisp white shirt or ruffle blouse. 
I chose the dress to be featured here because it’s so different, and I think it’s one of those pieces in your wardrobe that has to be different from everything else you would normally wear. Plus, you can work the dress with some biker boots and a leather backpack, or you can wear it with nude heels and a tiny clutch. Either way, it is extremely beautiful. 
The shoes are an ‘August Favourite’ because they are a wardrobe staple. If you choose to make it exist in your wardrobe, then you’re in luck as it is sleek, pretty and minimalistic...and it works well with the other two items pictured here! xD

City Girl 

Top –  Mango

Shorts – French Connection

Boots – Jeffrey Campbell

Bag – Wet Seal

I wanted to create an everyday look that works well for multiple occasions, from lunch to a friends house, you can really pull this off. The pleated blouse makes it all look really sweet but the boots toughen up the whole style. The festival style mini cross body bag is a must-have to make this whole look work. Hope you like it! xxx

Cute Geek ^-^

Skirt w/ braces – New Look
Skirt – Dorothy Perkins

Satchel – Cambridge Satchel Company
Socks – Steve Madden
Shoes – New Look

Everything works so well in this outfit. I think of braces as very '90s, since the last time I wore braces was when I was a little child, so I generally wouldn't opt for anything that involves braces, but this outfit wouldn't be complete without the braces!! The satchel is the most adorable item here as it is so versatile and can work with nearly anything you wear (doesn't have to be study or college related :P). There are so many satchel colours to choose from but my favourite is always definitely brown. 

Modern Ladybird Style..? ;D

Dress – Fausto Puglisi

Bag – Malene Birger

Shoes – Christian Louboutin

This style was very obviously inspired by my blog name. Sooo when inspiration struck, I thought that I definitely need to compile an outfit that corresponds with the 'Ladybird' theme. However, I don’t want to go all cheesy and post hundreds of ladybird inspired outfits because that’s just overdoing it. 

Annnywaay, back to the outfit! ^^

This outfit consists of pretty pricey items, a.k.a designer. The dress is a wool blend dress in colour block, which looks absolutely stunning on any body shapes and sizes. The waist line is flared, meaning that whether you are slim or curvy, your waist will be enhanced beautifully. The bag practically screams gorgeous and works with absolutely anything in your wardrobe! And the shoes? Cute, cute, cute. ^^

Name Change!!

For those of you who are familiar with this blog, you will know that it used to be called 'Not Your Fashion'. However, I have changed it to Ladybird Blog because it sounds so much cuter and a lot less intimidating. So this blog is officially "http://alysonladybird.blogspot.co.uk/" or Ladybird Blog. Hope you like it! :D

Cute Leather ^^

Blouse – H&M

Skirt – New Look

Shoes – Nelly.com

Bag – H&M

This outfit is cute because it mixes up styles and I love doing that. It has that edgy rock look with the leather skirt and black stud heels. At the same time, the silk blouse with the cute bow and the belt on the skater skirt makes the outfit look more feminine. ^-^

Net-A-Porter Live

I first heard about Net-A-Porter from one of the most fashionable girls at school. Ever since then, it has become my primary fashion source where I go to hunt out new style entries. I can honestly say it really was one of my first fashion teachers, where I slowly learnt the names of haute couture and began to identify Christian Louboutin from Charlotte Olympia. And even to this day, the website brings out something new. 

So I was really existed to discover the ‘Net-A-Porter Live’ page. It’s basically a cool map of the world and not only does it show how many people are online at any given time, it also shows what people are buying. 

It might seem pointless at first, like why do you need to know what people are buying? But for those who want to enter the fashion industry one way or another, the consumer is what shapes the industry. So it helps to know what real people are buying. 

Besides, it’s cool to just check it out, because more often than not, you’ll always find really nice items that you hadn’t noticed while looking through the actual page. 

So give it a go and see what you think of it, because it’s great!

Royal Blue

Top – farfetch.com

Skirt – monki.com

Shoes – dorothyperkins.com

Spots and stripes are pretty much essential in any wardrobe depending on your preference. This particular spotty outfit is heavily inspired by the outfit worn by the Duchess of Cambridge when she left hospital with Prince George. I generally hate outfits that have a matching pattern on the top and bottom half. So I've deliberately teamed the skirt with a plain white t-shirt that has a subtle hint of 'matching-ness' on the Peter Pan collar. My favourite are the espadrille wedges that complete the look to utter perfection.

The Monochrome Graphic

Top - topshop

Shorts – uniqlo

Shoes – nelly.com

I chose to put this outfit together because I absolutely adore this uncomplicated look  It's simple. It oozes sophistication. Yet at the same time, it looks so looks effortless! Just stunning. 

Pink and Floral
Top – rarelondon.com

Skirt – 3.1 Phillip Lim

Shoes – farfetch.com

Shades - polyvore.com

OK...I admit - I'm not really a 100% pink lover, but I have to say that this outfit is pretty cute. It also is a sharp contrast to my 'Plaid Rebel' outfit pretty much but it does the job for those who love head to toe pink - literally. 

Plaid Rebel

Bustier - Topshop

Skirt – Alice + Olivia

Shoes – MICHAEL Michael Kors

Cuff – 2bstores.com

Plaid is big right now. And so is the 'rebel' look. What better way to collaborate the look? Team up a little bustier with a spiked cuff and zip heels. Then add a little splash of red to the all-black ensemble and you've got it right. :)
