INTRODUCING OUR NEW BLOGGER: LAUREN...

Lauren and I met last September when we moved into our student house in Epsom and started university together at UCA. Lauren was also on my Fashion course however she has now decided that design is not for her and has transferred to Fashion Promotion and Imaging.
 She's like a sister to me, although there are times where I feel more like her mother! I thought she would make a great addition to the blog as although we may share similar views on fashion, we have different ways of styling outfits.

This is a picture of Lauren and I at Ladies Day during Epsom's Derby Weekend. An outfit post will be following soon!

I hope you will all enjoy our posts as joint bloggers on Along Crossed Paths!

NEW PURCHASE: ASOS CHAIN...

Oversized gold chain - ASOS.com, Black and white contrast jacket - Topshop.

I just thought I would share with you this gorgeous chain that I bought off ASOS.com. As the majority of my wardrobe is quite monotone, I like to make bold statements with my accessories which is what a love most about this necklace! It gets compliments all the time and goes with everything!

Hope you like it! To see different ways that I like to wear it check my instagram - @adowsingx

WISHLIST: CHOIES.COM...

            I have recently stumbled upon Choies.com, an online clothing store with some great finds and free worldwide shipping! They sell some stunning items in unique designs (which being a fashion design student, I love!). As well they run regular contests such as t-shirt designs and work closely with fashion bloggers. Below I have put together a few items from my Choies wish list...

WHAT I WORE: WEDDING BELLES...

         Firstly an apology for my blogging break, Uni deadlines got the better of me! 

         Last weekend I celebrated my cousin's wedding and thought I would share with you some pictures including what I wore! It was a truly special day and I was incredibly proud of her, she made a beautiful bride! 


          What I wore... White embossed blazer - Zara, Baroque print teal dress - Zara, Black fold-over clutch - Mulberry, Black wedge heels - Topshop, Gold chain necklace - Topshop, Teal hair fascinator - Amazon.

           I had such a lovely day in a stunning location, dancing the night away with Army officers and sipping a lot of champagne! A very glamorous occasion and just how I would love my wedding to be! 

I hope you like what I wore!

GET THE LOOK FOR LESS: STRIPES AND CHECKS...

1. White cut-out dress - Alexander Wang, 2. Stripe leather jacket - Acne, 3. Monochrome check bag - Marni, 4. Tassel necklace - Saint Laurent, 5. White calf high boots - Jil Sander.
1. White panelled playsuit - MissGuided, 2. Stripe leather dress - River Island, 3. White cut-out bag - Vero Moda, 4. Cut-out platform wedges - Jeffrey Campbell, 5. Beaded tassel necklace - Dorothy Perkins, 6. Checked umbrella - Topshop, 7. Checked blazer - Topshop.

As some of you may have noticed I'm a big fan of monochrome! I either dress in black or white and like to then accessorise with pops of colour. That said, this trend of wide stripe and large checks was really appealing to me. However, as much as I love the designer buys in the top picture (particularly the Acne jacket!) I can't afford them, so I included how I would dress for the trend but on a high street budget. I particularly LOVE the checked blazer from Topshop!

Hope you like the post!
