The Fashion Feed: Go Graeco!

Go Grecian by BradshawsCloset featuring Monsoon bracelets

Grecian style is a favourite of every goddess to grace the red carpet and this week we're looking at how to recreate the Hollywood Graeco look on a budget.


For full on glamour at a ball, opening or opera night opt for a one shoulder dress with flattering, flowing lines. I love this New York Fashion Week inspired red maxi dress by Goddiva. Its hour glass shape is designed to flatter curves and at just £34.99 it is a total style steal.


This hip hellenistic ring is also on my Grecian wish list as it's such a versatile accessory. It would look fabulous with the Goddiva dress or as a Graeco-inspired addition to a vintage look. The ring is currently available at ModCloth for $11.99 making it the perfect fashion find for fashionistas on a budget.


When it comes to shoes you really can't go wrong with these Gladiator-esque sandals. It wasn't so long ago that they were featured as our Monthly Shoe-Fix and they haven't lost any of their shine 6 weeks later. They cost just £34.50 from asos so get them whilst you still can!

The Fashion Feed: Black and Gold

Black and Gold - by BradshawsCloset on Polyvore.com

I doubt any of us are going to forget the vision of Miranda stepping out head-to-toe in gold with her girlfriends in The Sex and the City film. After six years of strictly business suitage Miranda shined beautifully in her metallic movie hues and we're going to show you how to shimmer too.

Pleat It. Accentuate your curves and shine at the same time with this fabulous shapely corset from Goddiva. This strapless beauty is so on trend and will add a classy edge to any outfit. Wear it over a black shirt for a quirky day time look or with a flirty frilly skirt for an on-trend burlesque ensemble. At only £22.51 you will be getting great value for money as it is such a versatile piece.

The Statement Pendant. This gorgeous gold owl design pendant is the perfect accessory to make you stand out from the crowd. It hangs from an adjustable gold chain so you can alter the length to match all your favourite necklines and costs just $23.99 from ModCloth.

Creating Contrast. Although Miranda looked amazing in tip-to-toe gold we recommend breaking the look up a bit for a subtler edge. Blazers are big fashion news at the moment so you can't go wrong with this black beauty from Miss Selfridge. It would go beautifully with the gold corset and it will provide you with the perfect silhouette. The blazer costs £45.00 and will see you through any job interview, day at the office or even Friday night on the town.

The Fashion Feed: I Got The Blues

Got The Blues - by BradshawsCloset on Polyvore.com

Fashion is going all Jonie Mitchell on us by bringing back the blues in a big way. Ice Maiden's can go tip to toe in turquoise whilst the more regal amongst us can envelope ourselves in a rich Royal Blue.

Our top turquoise pick has to be this gorgeous quilted cross over bag from Miss Selfridge. It comes complete with a chain mail strap which is so this season and only costs £12.00! Team it with whites and creams for a real Snow Queen look or with deeper richer blues for vivid blue contrast!

Another one of our favourites is this Turquoise Stone bracelet from Oasis. This all-natural looking bracelet will add a lovely hippy vibe to any outfit and will only set you back £8.00. It is currently on sale at Asos.

For a richer and deeper effect you can't go wrong with this gorgeous burlesque basque. Made from luxurious satin with on-trend frills and bow detail you are going to want to wear this little number everywhere you go. You can pick it up at Goddiva for £24.46 and team it with jeans, flowing skirts and boot cut trousers depending on the occasion.

So next time you feel down, we encourage you to wallow in it whole-heartedly...as long as your accessories match your mood that is. Perhaps A case of the blues doesn't have to be such a bad thing after all!

The Monthly Must-Have: Star Buy For Spring

The hottest colour on the high street at the moment is coral and consequently a lot of stores are charging over the odds for any product they stock in that colour. Imagine our delight then, when we discovered this gorgeous block colour dress from Goddiva.

As mentioned in our previous post 'Block Party!' block colour fashion items are massive thanks to Carrie's post-jilt-honeymoon to Mexico in The Sex and the City Movie. In short, with this dress you're getting two key Spring looks in one outfit and like any star buy it is a versatile piece which can be smartened up for the office or dressed down for the pub. You could even pair it with some sparkly jewellery and wear it on a date for a more sophisticated look.

The best news about this little number however is that it is only £29.99 making a mockery of the big stores who still believe consumers are willing to pay over the hundred pound mark just to stay on trend. When will these people learn that we want to look like SJP, but we're not exactly on her budget? Snap your block colour dress up now and start enjoying the unignorable looks of envy from every woman you pass!
