Ethereal Highstreet Style

After a crazy few days I'm finally back on track and continuing with my Ethereal Trend. For me I think that when wearing the Ethereal Style you can achieve this look the easiest with wearing the few key pieces for this trend. The first being the dress, the second being the skirt, third being the body (leotard style suit) and lastly the ballerina pump, which I will cover in Accessorize Ethereal Style. For Highstreet Style with this trend you have a lot of options in which to rock the trend completely. When rocking Ethereal stick with floaty fabrics, tulle, organza and alot of muted tones, nudes and pastels. If you decide to go more towards the Ballerina side of the trend you can change up the colour a little if wearing a tutu style dress (think Black Swan). Either way look beautiful, lady like and demure. Here are some of my favourite High Street Picks

Dresses:





All of the Above are available from Asos. I just love about Asos, how easy it is to complete deck yourself out at just one online hotspot. It seriously is an obsession for me, as you have probably gathered by now. I've been shopping there for over 2 years now and always enjoy when I know there's money spare to spend on my favourite online store.



These 6 dresses above are available from Topshop, another amazing online store. What I love about Topshop online is I don't get charged the extortionate hiking of prices between sterling and euro that you find in the shops.

All Jarlo at River Island

Skirts:


Maxi Skirts from Left and centre Miss Selfridge on right River Island. Team with a pretty fitted top in light and nude tones. See the Chloe Runway pictures here for further inspiration.


Short Skirts all from River Island. Wear the short skirt as a Ballerina style. Pair with a body or a little cardi for a dressed down style.

The Body:


Play the style down with a simple body. Keep it ladylike and not to revealing. Think pretty ballerina. All above available from Asos.

Play up a more simple skirt with one of these more dressy bodys for a night out or more occasion wear. Left available from Asos, on the right Rare Opulence available from Topshop, also seen here.

I'm absolutely loving this trend and with all the online window shopping I've been doing for these posts I've realised how much is actually out there that's completely relevant to this trend. There's something so ladylike, demure and sophisticated about wearing this trend and the dresses available completely step aside from the club look and the body con styles and make a girl look like a girl again, elegant and lovely and for want of a better word, Ethereal. Do ya'll like the Ethereal look? Are you more club than Pretty?

ONE X 5

For the Menswear trend and my choice pick i have toyed between the key piece blazer or the trouser. Both the pieces are equally as important to the trend and i love both however as I did a Blazer for my last x5 then i'll do the trouser for the menswear trend.
Here is my pick of the trousers

Asos Tux Style Chiffon Insert 7/8 Trousers E52.48
 I picked these trousers out of all the vesatile styles that are on offer as I feel that practically everyone has a black trouser in their wardrobe. The style can be mixed and matched with almost everything and for every event or occassion that they would be worn to. This pair are affordable and as an ASOS obcessive I can tell you their clothes are good quality and do wash well (i might sound like your granny but these are the things that are important when buying clothes)
 Here are my 5 outfits
Body Rare Opulence at Topshop, Shoes River Island, Bag Asos, Watch Asos, Jewellery Belle Noel, Makeup Bobbi Brown

Jacket Asos, Top Topshop, Shoes Asos, Clutch Topshop, Necklace Miss Selfridge, Cuff Asos, Lipstick Mac, Nars Illuminator

Top, Jacket, Bag and Cuff all Asos, Shoes Aldo, Earrings Belle Noel, Makeup Nars

Jumper Asos, Bag Monsoon, Shoes River Island, Bangles Miss Selfridge, Glasses Asos

Blouse, Blazer and Shoes all Topshop, Coat River Island, Bag and Watch Asos

So there you have it, one affordable trousers and 5 ways to wear it. I thought this might have been one of my more difficult pieces to pair up but once i got started I had about 15 possible outfits. I surprise myself sometimes (wink wink). Now if only i had the money to match my levels of obsession, then i'd be happy. Hope ya'll enjoy. Let me know what you think and hold on tight for my last post on MensWear, Steal Her Style, it's an extra special one so pop back again soon.
