Snake Skin

The beauty of snake skin is the bright collage of colours that are held within the pattern, to tie it to an outfit if made easier by the shades of colour giving you choice. Of course the plain black or white outfit can really stand out if accessorised with a snake skin Handbag.

Snake skin is hugely popular in 2013 and will be this summers must have item. But you should avoid real snake skin, any bag that uses animal products including leather are now frowned upon by those in the know. Real Leather has taken a nose dive due to the huge cost and the mistreatment of the animals used to produce it. Faux Snake skin is very realistic even has the scale like texture of a snakes skin but without the animal cruelty.

So look out for Love Eye Candy's new collection which features some amazing Snake Skin effect Handbags

What to Wear in Snow?

When you live in a seasonal climate you can be sure that your wardrobe has at least two distinct categories, Summer and Winter. The problem with living in the UK is trying to find out that morning what part of your wardrobe you should use, with Winter blending into Summer.

To combat the cold wind you should wrap up, this doesn't mean you need to raid your dad's cupboard to get over sized jumpers. This season the trend is for Skinny jeans or leggings with a long coat. Accessorised with a big Hat and a wraparound scarf. The shoes should be flat boots, good for grip and keeping your ankles cosy.

Brown and Burnt orange let you add a dash of colour to a season which traditional sees a field of black and white appear from our wardrobes. Bobbles look cute and can add a sparkle of cute to your look.

Purples are popular and the Hanbag should be a big one, you inevitebly will have more to carry with your medicine, tissues and essential hair products once you reach your destination and need to take off that hat!

Here's some of our products to help you with these cold times:

Warm and Cosy Boots £30

Grey Cricket Jumper £20

Large Black Handbag £28

Funky Studded Leggings £13

10 Uses for a Crop Top

The crop top is a much underestimated item in your wardrobe. It has many uses in modern fashion and can be versatile. Here are some examples:

Crop top at the Gym:

Everyone nowadays seems to go to the gym or jogging or works out at home and the crop top is an excellent way of staying cool. It keeps control when your jogging and it also lets your skin breath.

Crop top at the beach:

 If your not a fan of walking around in your bikini then the crop top is an ideal solution for this, it can provide you support but also show off your belly and arms.

Crop top in bed:

Its getting warmer now and you might need something slightly less covering than your onesie for bedtimes. The crop top and shorts is ideal summer bedtime wear.

Crop top under blouse:

We are big fans of lace and think that some tops look great, but we aren't keen on showing our bra to the world so a crop top under a nice lace blouse is ideal for being more modest.

Crop top under Dress:

Again with our love of lace you may find some dresses just too revealing, but don't give up just yet, the crop top could be the answer to covering up under those lace dresses.

Crop top under jumper:

Nothing is worse than wearing a big jumper and being too hot, so a crop top is ideal to wear under and if you do need to change later in the day you won't be embarrassed to change with a crop top under it.

Crop top with jacket:

A nice tailored jacket looks great when paired with a crop top, such a simple look is perfect for meals out and even work wear.

Crop top with a message:

If you want to get your message across, you don't have to wear a T shirt you can get crop tops printed with your own personalised message now.

Crop top clubbing:

Dancing is hard work, it is often hot and a crop top is great way to stay cool. Just remember your jacket for that drunken walk home!

Crop top on its own:

A crop top deserves a day on its own, so next time it's sunny get yours out, Celebrities do!

Whatever your day holds you can always use your crop top!

I love my Hoodie

Hoodies are the perfect lounge wear, for those lazy days when you just need to be comfy. Even celebrities have days off and they grab their hoodies.

They can be accessorised to look glam and it doesn't have to be raining for you to use the hood. You can simply use it to hide any bad hair days!

Ladies Day at the Races - What to Wear?

Ladies day at the races is a time for glamour, glitz and silly hats. It is an age old tradition at main race events they have a Ladies day, with Cheltenham hosting theirs today. It's a great day out for people who are not hardened race goers, with champagne and the chance to win money whats not to like? Well other than the weather which is often a disaster there is much fun to be had not just by watching the races but also going to the different tents and watching the different entertainment that is laid on especially catered toward women.

So how do you dress to ensure you stand out and get noticed. Here are three different statements you can make with your outfit.

1. The Bold and Brassy

If you are going and want to be noticed the quickest way is to flash the flesh. Plunging necklines and short skirts are sure to grab the attention. The high heels may prove tricky if the ground is wet but what is fashion without a bit of pain. 

This outfit says that your here for a laugh, but don't be fooled you have done this before so give me better odds than that Mr Bookie! No need for a hat a simple fascinator does the trick and doesn't distract from your new dress.

But remember this is predominantly an outdoor event, the winds are cold and the day is long so don't end up the day looking like a frozen mess. Take a jacket, or better yet have a nice gentleman that can lend you his!


2. The Innocent Newbie

As a first timer you should always go understated. Floral patterns are big this year and if you go low at the top never go short at the bottom, and vice verse. Holly Valance here in a gorgeous dress, matching handbag and a lovely tailored jacket.

Here is an example of a three good looks, a patterned Maxi, a wraparound stripped block coloured dress and a belted high waisted dress. All examples of simply but classy outfits that won't attract the wrong sort of attention.

The queen of the innocent look is Coleen Rooney, who is dragged to racecourses all the time by her fanatical husband Wayne. She is seen here in a gorgeous bright and vibrant flower pattern dress that screams cuteness.

3. The Glamorous Gambler

If you want to be taken seriously then your style says it all. Big hats and tailored dresses are the answer. Give the impression of a serious race goer with this glamourous look that is sure to score you some better odds from the bookies.

 

Of course glamorous can still have vibrant colours and the one shoulder dress seems to be a popular choice for many experience race going ladies.

Skirts should always be below the knee and you can accessorize these outfits with vibrant splashes of chunky jewellery and bright Handbags.

Have fun and remember your Hat!

What do you get for a £12?

Twelve pounds would probably buy you two mocha's and two blueberry muffins, it may buy you a CD from the album chart and it might even stretch to a cinema ticket with popcorn. In today's world £12 does not get you very far but what about a dress? Surely not possible.

At LEC Boutique we believe in affordable fashion at great prices and it is important to keep our stock fresh and updated so we have from time to time these crazy offers. Like this Grey and Black frill skirted dress for £12

Don't be fooled into thinking that this is somehow made of tinfoil and will fall apart on first wear, it doesn't. It is on offer because we like to reward customers. So whats the catch, I bet postage is really expensive I hear you say? Well no, our postage is free within the UK and there is no catch.

The dress is 3/4 length sleeve with modest round neck top, elastic belt to hug your frame and then a funky frill skirt that looks great and is a god send for hiding any lumps or bumps!

And whats more, we offer this dress in a black and pink version to at the same low price. So if you fancy a slightly brighter colour then try this out for size. But hurry as our crazy offers don't tend to last long!

Don't worry I'm sure after a little time you will get used to our ways of treating customers well, after all without our customers there is no Business!

Going Short in Winter

Skirts are a great way to hide your hips and belly and this winters trend is that skirts should be short and cute. With leggings worn under you can still stay warm and pull off a great look in a short skirt.

Outfit 1 - Sexy and Glamorous

 

The simple red t-shirt tucked into this high waisted tiered black skirt with black leggings and then set off with some bright red heels really makes a bold statement and looks glamorous and cool. At £65 this outfit can't be any better value for money and with free delivery makes it even better.

Outfit 2 - Cute and Playful

 

  

This plain black v-neck t shirt is great to show off the checked tartan design skirt with pockets. The tie belt bowed gives detail with a flair of colour in the shoes to really make this outfit pop. With a simple change from outfit one you have created a totally different look for an entirely different occasion. 

 Extra - Coat

With any winter outfit the right jacket can be important, a days shopping braving the cold winds you need to look stylish and cool but also warm and cosy. This heavy quality jacket with tie waist gives you a great cute look and at £35 you won't find many as good quality cheaper.
