EmiliaStyle: Dress

Hello to 2016| Fashion

Hello 2016!

I'm so looking forward to this coming year and all that it has to offer. These past few have been huge learning years. I don't think you're ever fully prepared for all the hurdles that life brings you in your early 20's. And I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like it can all be too overwhelming. However, every year that passes, while more obstacles are thrown your way, you get a little more confident each time.

Towards the halfway point of 2015, I took a major step in creating Emilia'sStyle. While it can seem like a small accomplishment, it was ground breaking for me. I've always had a soft spot for beautiful things, mainly in fashion and cosmetics and had been watching YouTuber's and reading blogs for years. In the back of my head, I had always wanted to develop a little space for this creative side of me but never felt confident enough to do so. Partially because I was fixated on perfection and also because of self-inflicted doubt.

I am so grateful I got over those fears and plucked up the courage to pursue the dream. I think we sometimes undervalue "small" accomplishments because we deem them insignificant (I sure do...). However, the truth is, I've come to realize that the dream is simply a pretty picture in my mind, however this blog is a real piece of work I can show to people and that I'm genuinely proud of.

I can't wait to see how I'm able to continue to apply this new found confidence into the rest of my goals. I hope you're able to fulfill your dreams this year and perhaps this has helped someone out there lacking some confidence to get out and show the world just how special they are.

The Power of Red| Fashion

Ark&Co

Welcome back to #MiaXmasPrep! Who doesn't love wearing red for the holidays? I don't think you can wear the colour too often but the holiday season (and Valentine's Day) is my excuse for pulling out a red dress and wearing it proudly.

This dress is gorgeous for an elegant evening with colleagues or a family dinner.

Unfortunately, it's no longer available at the store I purchased it at (Boutique 1861) but I've listed some alternatives here, here and here.

Hope you've enjoyed this post and that you're feeling a little more confident about wearing red this holiday season. Whether it may be a red dress, pants or skirt; there's also a way of making it work during the season <3

Grey's in Season | Fashion

autumn

I've been more adventurous in trying new dress cuts these days. What I mean by this is, I've been experimenting with wearing dresses that have a different cut to A-Line (skater). I don't know why but I've always felt a little self-conscious with dresses that showed off my hips or thighs.

However, since trying new pieces on, I've realized that I shouldn't limit myself to one style of cut. The point of fashion and style is to experiment and feel confident in what your wearing. If you feel good about yourself, then no one should tell you that something isn't made for you.

Today, I'm showing you this really classic grey dress that I've paired with my trusty jean jacket and this really cool "Indiana Jones" inspired hat. It's not the typical hat I usually reach for, but I thought it matched really well with the rest of the pieces.

I love pairing running shoes with dresses. And because this one is quite simple and grey, it was a perfect excuse to pull out my white converse. I love this look for class because it has the combination of being very casual but still put together.

Enjoy your week and let me know some of the new pieces you've been trying out! :)

Polka Dot Fun| Fashion

Boohoo

Who doesn't love polka dots? Okay, I'll admit, there are a few. I personally love the look. I think that they are classy and timeless. Now yes there are ways of over doing it, but if you keep your outfit clear of other extravagant patterns, there's an elegance to the look.
