// Paige of Pebbles Beaufort // The Full Set

This girl looks divine, she’s a total femme fatale!! I’m completely enamored with her blue, Hollywood/mermaid locks and how amazingly tailored this suit is on her!!

I love, love, looove how she accessorized with a bright red lippie and a bad ass , spiked ear cuff!

*swoon*

This week marked a huge collaborative event in the French Curves group {man I wish I could speak french fluently, I am very much a novice} in which they were instructed to recreate a look.

Assa chose to replicate a look by Miroslava Duma, who is a former editor of Harper’s Bazaar Russia. These two pieces aren’t actually a matching suit, but I’m so impressed with how close they look! Click here to see the original, I think she did a perfect tribute!

3// Rosa from Rosariummmm // Clueless Chick

Rosa’s timing could not have been better, as I was searching for a third bad ass girl who has suited up, there she was, at the top of my instagram feed in a super cute skirt suit!

Perfectly reminiscent of “Clueless”, she’s rocking this suit in style and I adore it! Can you believe she re-purposed this from an old suit from the 80’s her mom gave her?!! Brilliant!

Friday I’m in Love is a weekly feature where I curate my top 3 looks I have seen online each week.

I sadly missed last weeks friday i’m in love due to feeling under the weather, but I’m back this week with some edgy babes!

Hello chiffon!! Easily my favourite fabric of the summer, especially when used with a maxi!! I adore this monochrome ombre chiffon maxi.

She looks so perfectly edgy with her flaming red hair, bowler hat & nose piercing! I swoon!

Those white frames are pretty kickin’ as well!

2//Nadia from Throwing a Curve Ball // Black Hi-Lo

I have just found Nadia on instagram and I am smitten beyond belief with her cute stylishness!

I adore her all black outfit with a helleva statement necklace in silver. The added leopard slippers are just the right bad ass touch along with a black leather jacket, which I’m pretty sure might be the definition of “edgy”, go look it up, I’ll wait ;)

3// Sallamari from Mangos for Flamingos // Day at the car show

This gal is SUCH a cutie patootie!! Her blog is in Finnish, so when it translates I’m always a bit baffled, but she seems like a ton of fun!

This look is adorable edgy! The stripy 3/4 length tee is awesome, paired with this full midi skirt and bright yellow tights! I love her hair and BIG round shades!

Side note, her pose in this shot somewhat reminds me of the tightrope portrait in Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion!

“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” -Coco Chanel

“Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.” -Coco Chanel

Today’s outfit is 100% inspired by the first lady of style, Coco Chanel. Though I sadly, do not own a single Chanel piece I have often taken my cues from Chanel.

I grew up watching Fashion Television, which had a huge impact on me. I love the art that comes with design and styling. I think growing up and constantly looking at high fashion has trickled down into how I now dress, even on my low budget fashion level.

This look is simple, but I adhered to Coco’s famous advice and took off an item before shooting today’s look. I also find much comfort in black & white outfits. I think they can speak so loudly, even with the absence of a bright colour.

I am unabashedly, a HUG Harry Potter nerd!!

In fact, such a Potterphile, that my very first blog post on here about 10 months go was a about a Harry Potter party that I hosted and went full tilt on! {please excuse how long winded it is, it was my first time back to blogging for seven or so years!! oh and I first named this blog Miss Meanie goes to Paris, which was equally long winded, so I changed that pretty quick!}

I have a huge collection of cool HP bric-à-brac, most of which I brought back last year after visiting the most magical place on earth, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! We have most of it out on display, but we really want to get a better shelf to display all our curious & magical items. The wands are still in their boxes and we’d really like to get a stand to display them more nicely.

It had occurred to me, that although I had mentioned purchasing this top back in March when I was down at ECCC, I had never actually taken any outfit shots with it!

It’s actually one of the staples in my wardrobe right now, on account of it being A) a crop top B) the most lightweight soft material ever C)being black & D) it’s wonderfully nerdy! I actually altered this a bit. I took the straps up, as I hate big gaping armholes that show off my bra, which also made it a shorter crop top, which worked well for me!

//what i wore//

I wouldn’t normally wear the kitty ears out with this outfit, but I was in a fun mood. It also occurred to me, that I never smile in any of my photos, so that has been remedied in this post!

//deathly hallows crop – android sheep, they only have one size, but it fits pretty well, if just a tad snug which makes the lines look rippled

//pleated skater skirt & geometric cuff – forever21+

//skinny belt w/gold cross & suspender tights – ASOS curve, sadly these did not live as long as I had hoped. The thinner nylon on the top is just full of runs {or ladders a they call them in the UK}

//shoes – thrifted

//moon pendant necklace – a gift from my mom & step dad. The image is of the phase the moon was in when I was born!

Well, that is my witchpoo look! You know, with it being Wednesday and the whole, on “Wednesday’s we wear black” that seems to be a new mantra of mine!

Are you a crazy potterphile too? Or are you part of any other fandom?? I’m kind of a fangirl for a lot of fandoms! Let me know what you’re into!!

Friday I’m in Love is a weekly feature where I curate my top 3 looks I have seen online each week. Though I will feature many plus size looks, I will also feature looks including straight sizes and gentlemen if the feeling strikes!

// Sian from Forever Fabulous in Bows // What I Wore: leopard print cardi & sheer skirt

Look at how gorgeous this sheer maxi is!! Just LOOK!!

It’s not a surprise that I am a HUGE fan of black chiffon and I absolutely LOVE maxi’s as well! What a perfect summer look!

I adore the long line cardi too, and who doesn’t love a classic, over sized, designer bag to make the perfect “yes, I’m effortlessly chic” statement?

Just gorgeous!

You can follow Sian on her blog, facebook or instagram!

2// Dionne from Supersize my Fashion // The Great Gatsby

Oh my goodness, how fabulous does Dionne look in this absolutely gorgeous dress from the ASOS Salon line??? I have been wanting to write a piece on being a modern flapper girl with the Salon dresses as the key items!

She just looks beyond glamorous! She got the look spot on and I’m super jealous that I don’t have this entire ensemble in my closet right meow!!

The jewelry she chose is perfect and the shoes are a lovely contrast to the dark dress, but still have just as much glitz and that purse is so much fun!

You can follow Dionne on her blog, facebook or instagram!

3// Ashley from This is Ashley Rose // My Style: Aussie Curves: Polka Dots

Just look how pretty & posh Ashley is looking in these photos. I adore the sheer polka dot blouse, the breezy, pleated midi skirt and the perfect pops of red in her shoes, handbag, skinny belt & lippie!

She looks like a perfect lady, completely pulled together and totally on trend with the sheer elements!

wishlist // the clutch

Posted on June 25, 2014 by margot meanie

One thing about being a fashion or style blogger is you are always looking for the perfect accent to your outfit. Some sort of punctuation and a clutch can be just that item!

I really love the trend of an over sized clutch lately, but even just a small clutch can compliment an outfit so nicely. It’s a wonderful statement in taste!

I’ve been finding my clothing choices lately to be very monochrome, which works well, since it seems to be fairly on trend. But I find myself wanting a little something extra for each look and I think it’s the clutch that’s been missing!

These are a few of my top clutches I’ve seen while online window shopping lately! (Don’t forget that hologram clutch from last weeks ASOS wishlist as well!!)

1//Patent Leatherette Clutch – Forever 21. Cute and ready for a party & it’s on sale for $13.99!!

2//Nali 3D Stone Clutch Bag – ASOS, I love how bold this bag is! It’s large, bright yellow and studded! Be still, my beating heart!

3//Cutwork Clutch, SimplyBe, I adore the laser cut and the bright pink underlay! I also love that this one comes with a crossbody strap!

4//Vegas Cutout Clutch, Fashion to Figure. I have been enamored with this bag since GarnerStyle posted it on facebook a couple months ago. It also comes in a great yellow, but is sadly sold out in that colour right meow.

5//Modernist Faux Leather Clutch, Forever 21. Ultra simple & chic clutch that will work with absolutely any outfit!

6//Elusive Edition Bag, ModCloth. This novelty clutch has a curious whimsy to it that just draws me in. Absolutely perfect for witchy days or Harry Potter inspired outfits!!

What kind of bag are you coveting right now?

// Audrey from Big or Not to Big //Drôles de dames

Audrey is a lovely French blogger. Though I can’t understand the text on her blog, I still love looking at her pictures! She has a tremendous sense of style that I just adore! She’s usually very feminine in great dresses and perfect accessories, but there’s something about this catsuit that is just so très chic! The fabric looks soft, comfortable and luxurious and the lace detail on the cap sleeve and décolletage is so lovely!

I absolutely LOVE the obi wrap leather belt and the pops of coral in the necklace and shoes are just perfect.

You can follow Audrey on her blog, lookbook or instagram!

2// Amanda from In The Thick Of It // siouxsie and the banshees sunday

I know it seems like it just wouldn’t be a friday i’m in love without a style blogger with short white blonde hair, but I swear, I’m not doing it on purpose!!

I just love how casual rock n roll this look is. It’s super simple with the rock tee, perfectly fitting black skinnies, demin jacket and metallic pumps. The look just pulls together so well! (it also helps it’s a Siouxsie shirt, I love me some Siouxsie Sioux!)

You can follow Amanda on her blog or instagram!

3// Lauren from Goodbye Hollywood // Drama! And looking forward

I am a super fan of button-up dresses, especially button-up dresses with some sort of embellishment on the collar! I quite like the pattern of the dress and definitely love the contrasting yolk. The nude heels are great and really make her legs look miles long!

You can follow Lauren on her blog, instagram or tumblr!

BONUS// Isabell from Dressing Outside the Box //LBD – Or The Va Va Voom Dress

I know I’ve recently featured Isabell, but hotdamn, look at this babe-erliness!! She is easily one of my favourite style bloggers! This bonus feature is also compounded with the fact that I was just eyeing this dress up on Forever 21 myself the day before she posted this!

This is the epitome of the little black dress, it fits just right, is super sexy and will work for many occasions!

wishlist // ASOS monochrome summer

Posted on June 17, 2014 by margot meanie

I just have to start with saying how ridiculously happy I am to have photoshop back!! I was reeeeally missing making these wishlists so very much!

I also had the idea to redo my blog space a bit, but had to wait until I had access to photoshop again to do up the changes. I’m super happy with the results, what do you think?

Secondly, I am LOVING what ASOS has in shop right now!

I’m a complete & total fan of monochrome and I love all the options they have. I know these looks aren’t 100% monochrome as there is a teeny amount of colour in the holographic clutch and the lining of the Victorian lace blouse, but I think it’s subdued enough to add some fun to an overall monochrome look.

I’ve been loving all the ropers around, but haven’t felt like I’d found the right one for me just yet and I think I have finally landed on it! I love the buttons and it seems super light and breezy. How cute would it look with that white blazer?? This look is perfectly edgy, especially adding in the masculine studded shoes. Though you could femme it up with adding those every so bad ass laser cut heels.

I’m always on the fence when it comes to very open back dresses, as I absolutely love how they look but am apprehensive of them on myself as I always have to wear a bra, but in the case of this sheer chiffon cage back dress by Truly You, I think the design easily lends itself to be worn with a blatant bra showing ala Carrie Bradshaw. And look how pretty and flowy it is!! Add some rock in roll sandals and I’m set!

I. Love. This. Skirt!

But I’m also scared of it, because it is white and me and white are often a messy match. But its so pretty and I am loving the sheer panel. I’ve been seeing variations of this skirt all over the blogosphere and it just makes me want it more. It’d be like a test, can be grown up enough to wear this and not spill? A challenge I am willing to take on!

I think what I love about all the shoes featured, is though they are all fairly different, they could easily go with each outfit and change the feel instantly!

Posted on June 16, 2014 by margot meanie

I’m busy trying to get used to my new laptop (YAY!). It’s an HP and I’m sad to admit how dreadful I am now with PCs these day’s as I’ve spent all my time on macs for the last four years. I was even thinking about downloading a skin to make it run like OS just so I can get my bearings.

I’m doubly excited this week, because in addition to my new computer I also have plans to head out with a friend to take some proper & professional shots with his new camera! I’m really looking forward to that, as I’m hating the grainy low quality photos I’ve been posting lately with my ipad.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my ipad dearly, it’s been really helpful to still get outfit shots done, but the camera is not the best and if it’s an overcast day, I loose the ability to take even halfway decent shots.

// what I wore //

I love monochrome, as you’ve probably noticed, most of my wardrobe is either black / white / grey or off white. My wardrobe is always running slim on pattern and colour.

This week I wore one of my favourite tops that I have owned FOREVER! I sometimes think of letting it go, but something makes me keep it. And Every time I wear it, I’m thankful I never let it go!

This skirt is just a perfect pleated skater skirt I got last winter while down in Las Vegas. It’s the perfect basic and just makes so many outfits!

The real inspiration for this outfit though comes from the earrings. They’re just tiny Eiffel tower danglies that I inherited from my Mother-in-law and I’ve always treasured them. I know they are not worth a lot of money and that you can get these little trinkets on every street corner in Paris, but it still does nothing to diminish their charm for me!

They’re cute and remind me of Paris, a city that I truly love and can’t wait to go visit again. Perhaps someday I’ll have an apartment there!

//hat & skirt – forever21+

Friday I’m in Love is a weekly feature where I curate my top 3 looks I have seen online each week. Though I will feature many plus size looks, I will also feature looks featuring straight sizes and gentlemen as well!

// Emmi from Roosa’s Closet // 1+1

Emmi is just completely gorgeous and this look is sooo posh, it’s killing me! I love all the black, but that necklace is a game changer! I love statement jewelry, especially all the new and fantastic pieces available for necklaces right now. I find myself green with envy as I’m lacking in the statement necklace department. This is so perfect!

I know I tend to over use the word “chic” but it completely applies to Emmi and this look!

You can follow Emmi on her blog or instagram!

2// Mila from lookbook // whowears cheetah anyways?

I usually opt for cheetah or leopard as an accent, but something about the fact that this dress is sheer mixed with the colour makes it just work so well, especially with her skin tone and perfect black bob! I love that she paired it with a denim jacket and some wicked big, round shades.

This look is just aces for me!

You can follow Mila on lookbook!

3// Gazel from gazelma.com // instagram

I just found Gazel on instagram recently and I absolutely loved this outfit! I’m a total fan of sack dresses or anything that is generally shapeless. I love how they drape and look edgy yet elegant. This was paired simply with a really great structured satchel bag, in contrast to the dress, as well as a lovely necklace, which is simple, but still a statement in itself!

Over all, I think her look is effortless with it’s well thought out simplicity!
