Look for less: Gigi Hadid

The sports illustrated bombshell showed off her 5ft10 physique in this stunning black t-shirt dress and caged heels as she stepped out with her on again off again beau Cody Simpson as they attended Miley Cyrus' 22nd birthday bash.
T-shirt dresses are something that I see as so casual yet can be easily dressed up and Gigi did that just perfectly and with the right accessorise (Cody Simpson) you can't go wrong.






I found 2 t-shirt dresses which I thought channeled her look,both from one of my favourite online stores ASOS,
The sleeves of this dress really showed off the caged/mesh
style that both Gigi's dress and shoes also channeled it is a
very simple style but just that extra detail adds that cool edgy vibe to a plain black-t-shirt dress. Also the added mesh at the end of the dress really shows the same kind of look as Gigi's and again it ties the whole look together.
Buy this dress here for a great bargain of €22.86













The second dress I found also from ASOS, my favorite part of Gigi's dress was the sheerness of it, it was sexy but not in an overly obvious way, that's why I chose this dress, it had the same sexy sheer paneling as Gigi's but again was not overly sexy. I also LOVE the leather around the collar and the sleeves they really give it that extra touch.
Buy this number here for a sweet €42.86















As for the shoes, my absolute favorite part of any outfit!
I found it quite difficult to find shoes that had that laser-cut
style finish to them, however I did find these babies, which
are absolutely out of this world, bit on the pricey side but
very good quality and would last for ages. They are probably
the most sexiest shoes I've seen in a long time! I'm lusting after them already! If you can't wait till after Christmas or you just want to buy yourself an early Christmas present snap these up here but unfortunately as they are topshop they come with a topshop price tag of £130. Again as this outfit is black I think any black heels would look great! And for an even more casual look black converse or black slip-ons like these would look hot!







Let me know if you have any requests for a look for less and I will definitely try my best to do it :)

Look for less: Kylie Jenner

If no one knows by now I am OBSESSED in love with Kylie Jenner, I love her whole image. As the whole world knows by now Kylie released her own hair extensions line and when I saw what she wore to the launch I immediately fell in love with it. She really does have that cool, edgy look down to a T. So I decided I would create a look for less based on this outfit, I hope ye enjoy! Let me know in the comments below if you'd like me to recreate any other looks.
Lots of love 
Ash xx          





Kylie is wearing a black bandeau and midi skirt co-ord, I found a very similar one on Missguided and I absolutely love it, it is so similar to Kylie's with the matching black bandeau and midi skirt.
Bandeau-€19.49

Skirt-€25.99

Missguided are also doing 30% off co-ords until midnight tomorrow so if you're interested I would snap it up now, I know I will be!







Kylie's shoes are TO.DIE.FOR, I'm obsessed! But I saw these ones on ASOS which I thought were similar enough, they still had the caged edgy look 
which Kylie's ones also have, they also tie up your ankle,which I think adds to an outfit in such a good way. 
Shoes-€64.29


Kylie accessorized her sexy look by sporting her new long teal coloured extensions from her range and of course her now signature big pouty over-lined lips, which I gotta say are growing on me! She accessorized this look with some Cartier 'Love' bangles which you can find so cheaply on sites like Ebay,Bangle-£2.71 

Kylie also wore long layered necklaces with this look, I found some on ASOS which would look great with this look.
Necklaces-€15.71

This camel coloured coat is THE coat for the winter! I am in LOVE with this, this is the kind of coat that I have dreams about. The way it drapes, fits and looks is just impeccable! I go into Zara weekly to have a look at it and to try it on,the price tag is a bit much however it is something that will never go out of style, it's timeless piece, something worth investing in! It definitely is a must have. I've also noticed that the Kardashian Kollection has something similar I'll post a link for it down below.

I'm not the most sporty girl in the world, but everyone loves a good pair of trainers. These have to be the most comfortable and sleek looking pair of trainers I've seen in awhile! They're simple and plain but I think they give a little edge to any outfit. I've never been one to wear a pair of Nike Air Max but these are the exception, the black and white is such a classic combination it will go with everything.

I've been looking for the perfect pair of over the knee boots for quite some time now and I think I found the perfect ones! These River Island boots are exactly what I'm looking for! I'm quite tall 5'7 and find it impossible to find over the knee boots that actually go over my knee, I also find it impossible to find a pair that I can wear during the day to university without looking like a complete twat! I think these are perfect the cleated sole makes them look more casual but the sued still gives them the stylish vibe! Definitely on my Christmas list. I've seen the same pair in Schuh too but they're currently sold out online :(

This co-ordinate set is something I've been lusting after since I first saw it online! My lust grew to love quite quickly once I saw my style queen Kylie Jenner wearing something very similar to her launch of her Kylie Hair Couture Line. It's so simple yet edgy. Something I'd definitely wear on a night out over Christmas.

These are all what I'm lusting after at the moment, let me know what you think and what your lusting over.

Welcome one and all

Hi girls welcome to my blog LoveOrLipstick, 
I was blogging on weebly.com a few years back but I've decided to get a new blog up and running, 
I will be posting all my style inspirations, beauty tips and just things I find interesting in general.
Please bear with me in regards to posting I've exams coming up so I won't be posting as frequently as I'd like but never the less I'll try and get something up weekly!
I can't wait to start my new blog and get back into the flow of things because I really missed it! I hope you enjoy reading about my day to day life and of course the superficial stuff I'm sure I'll divulge in throughout my life!
Lots of love,
