Loving You Is Red | Fashion

It was all University students favourite day last week, that’s right, student loan day has been and gone. What better way to celebrate it with buying lots of beautiful clothing?

For those of you who follow my Instagram, you may have noticed the accidental red theme. For some reason, all my recent clothing purchases have all been red in colour. From bags, shoes to jumpers its been all about the red in my wardrobe this season. With Valentine’s day just around the corner, is there a better colour to add to your style?

Here is how I style my red looks:

Colourful Jersey style sweats are all the rage right now. Why not try a vintage US College sweat for a unique look? I styled mine with black jeans, block heels, and statement earrings.

I am a huge fan of red shoes at the moment, they can make an outfit from blah to yay! I got these amazing Giorgio Armani for a bargain price of £50 at TK Max. I style mine with a plain black outfit and my Leopard print coat.

I purchased this little red bag from Primark for £6 and these Western style boots from ASOS during their January sales. I tend to wear these pieces with my black Teddy coat from New Look or teamed with polka dots, which is so on trend for Spring 2018.

Another of my Primark buys, this textured bright red jumper cost me only £13. I know Spring is just around the corner, but the February bite is still rife. I team this jumper with jeans, casual trainers, and a nude lip/eye to really make the colour pop.

More red shoes? I told you I am a little bit obsessed at the moment. I got this bold beauties from you guessed, it Primark, for the price of £12. You can also get these in Mustard (which will be my next purchase). You can style these boots with black/blue jeans with a black and white tee to really keep on that Spring trend.

Thank you for reading about my obsession with red. Have an amazing week and happy Valentine’s day.

2017 – A Year In Clothing

February 1, 2018January 26, 2018Leave a comment

2017 has been and gone and a new year is suddenly upon us. Last year has been full of many ups and downs for me. I started my Masters degree at Northumbria, I have met people who will change my life forever and I have left some people behind. 2017 was the year where I really tried to figure myself out, I focused on my weight loss, education and loving myself.

I have come out of 2017 a much more positive person and let’s hope 2018 brings amazing things.

The one thing that has changed over the last couple of years is my style. I have always been very much into my fashion from a young age, I always wanted to look different and quirky. I have said goodbye to vintage and preppy clothing and my style has really come in on its own. I feel happy and confident.

Life | Moving To London

August 23, 2016November 7, 2016Leave a comment

Well if you have been paying attention you would know I moved to London last year. It was on of the scariest and exciting moments of my life. I recently graduated from university, and I decided I wanted a job in London. I moved down South with my boyfriend, Josh, where we lived together with two friends.

One year later and I have moved back to my home town, and I am living back in my family home – yay! I have been getting a lost of questions like – why I moved back to London? Why I moved there in the first place? and what is was like living in London? So, what better way that making a video about it? I created this video not just for me, but for those thinking about making the big move to London.

I really hope this video helps people, and I really wanted to give my honest opinion and advice. London can be a scary place, so it’s best you weigh up all the options. Oh, and be prepared money wise.

Sit back and enjoy x

Moving to London | Cord & Moddolly

Dress: Moddolly

Welcome to my first ever post on my brand new blog!

Ok, so this blog has taken me a few months to get up and running but I wanted to make sure it was perfect before going live. So I’m very sorry for the wait people. Some of you may know that I moved from the North East to London in August 2015 – which was one of the biggest and scariest moments of my life. But along the way, I have met some amazing and fun people, as well as gained a lot of ideas and muses for my writing. BeccaBLC will be a place for fashion, beauty, lifestyle and my London adventures. I want to dip in the world of vlogging, so keep your eyes peeled for some videos coming very soon! I hope you guys enjoy reading BeccaBLC as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Lipstick: Rimmel London by Kate Moss

This dress is from Moddolly – a tan, cord smock style dress that I am just in love with. I got this dress specifically for an Autumn style, but as Spring approaches this little number is perfect for this season too. Swap boots for some cute, tan brogues or loafers, then maybe swap tights for some little socks. I have found this Spring that pastels are so last year, it’s all about the bold and bright, not to mention mustards and oranges being big Spring 2016.

Loafers: New Look

Moddolly are a lovely, small business that hand-make all of their own clothing and will go the extra mile to make sure you are 100% a happy customer – and that is why I love them! I have a few pieces of Moddolly and each season from them never seems to disappoint. Right now, they have an amazing offer of BUY ONE GET ONE FREE. Pick a smock or pinafore and get a choice of your own absolutely free! You’re welcome.

Bag: Vintage Charity Shop

I hope you enjoyed my first ever blog for BeccaBLC!

Keep your eyes peeled for more personal style, my beauty favourites and a little bit of vlogging.
