Leopard Lingerie - The Tacky Print I Love

So first things first, If you can't remember who I am and what this blog is about then here's a little recap for the old and new viewers. My Names Coral Baker, I started this fashion blog back in 2012/2013 and started to grow a name for myself, you may remember me originally as @Misscocochanel on both Youtube and Instagram for a while, and some might just know me as The Coral Diaries a newcomer to the blogging world back then. So now its 2017 and I've neglected this blog for over 3 years and lost my following on social media all because I couldn't prioritise a life where I had Work, University and a Boyfriend so for that I'm really sorry. I've tried a come back a few times each year and it hasn't worked out but this time I am determined to make it stick as blogging is where my passion lies be at blogging about Lingerie, Fashion or even Food, it's the one thing I always come back too when I'm sat thinking about life and what I regret.

So what now you may ask ... well for me as for many other graduates, I will be going back home to the little old Isle of Wight. You must all think reading this I'm MAD because I'll be moving from a city where something is always going on and there is a lot of opportunities to somewhere which is economically failing. But for me the Island is home, It's where all my family is and right now it's a place of sanctuary I can go too to figure out what my next move is after I have graduated.

Now I have got that all off of my chest on to the exciting new blog post ( she hopes) so this is my long overdue comeback and what better way than to blog about Lingerie, Fashion and Kittens all in one post!

We all love summer don't we mainly because of the sun and the HUGE sales it brings about towards the end of it. Being the beginning of June now is the time sales are starting to pop up everywhere and lucky for me the Boux Avenue sale is on which means I can justify spending £30 on two sets because of my staff discount. Oh, I do LOVE my job sometimes. After falling in love with the Mariette in pink from last season sale I couldn't say no when the leopard print Mariette went into sale. Now leopard for me used to be a NO GO but after purchasing my third Honey Birdette bra which was the leopard Dolce balconette I instantly fell in love with the oh so tacky but so fabulous print.

Honey Birdette - Dolce Leo Longline Cap Sleeve Bra 

What else can I say about this bra except the design is stunning! perfect amount of leopard and lace to pull of the glamorous vintage style. 

So the fit itself isn't the best, it's not a bra you could wear every day just because of the capped lace sleeves and the boning of the underwire for the long line, because it's a longline the boning of the Bra sits at the top of your sternum which after time can feel a little tight and uncomfortable. The style is a 10/10 for me, the delicate Italian lace, the details of the bow and jewel on the centre front and the perfect amount of lace really makes this a sexy fierce look. The one aspect of Honey Birdette that I find odd is the cup fitting, I Ordered a 32C in this Bra and I find I'm popping over the lace a little, I mean it could be a factor of things from how un-stretchy the material is too being a little fuller on the top of my bust than the bottom but overall I LOVE this bra and company. Definitely underrated in the UK! 

£60 - https://uk.honeybirdette.com/products/dolce-leo-bra - .. the price may deter you but the quality definitely lives up to the price, also if you sign up at the moment to their emails you can grab yourself £10 off your first order! perfect much or what. 

You may be thinking but CORAL YOU ARE NOT MATCHING ! ... the reason for this is because I personally didn't like the matching pants for the Dolce Leo set as much as I love these black high waisted lace back briefs from Ann Summers. Heres details of the lace back .. yes that is me modeling it was a favour for a friend and her Final Major Project. 

High Waisted briefs are kind of an obsession I have found myself with over the last few months due to the influx of them in stores including Boux. These however are amazing! the design of the corsetted lace back had me so entranced online and the feel and fit is even better in person! Just be weary when you wash them to tie the laces at the bottom in a secure knot otherwise it will become unravelled and believe me it's a NIGHTMARE to lace back up!

Mariette Leopard Balconette Bra  - Boux Avenue 

The Boux Aveneue sale this year has been alot better then the stock that would normally go in, alot of high waisted sets and half of the swimwear stock has been reduced to up to 70% off! So for the normal price going from £30 for the bra to an amazing £12 how could I resist! However before you think I opted for the high waisted pants... I didn't, the great thing about this set is that the thong is really pretty and comfortable to wear and for £4 you really can't go wrong! It's not I didn't love the high waisted pants its just as you will be able too see when I start showing my lingerie collection on here .. I have a hell of a lot of high waisted pants and sometimes they can be annoying to wear. 

One point to take into consideration when buying this bra is go up in the cup size due to the mould of the padding, if you don't your be spilling over the top and due to the strappings placement it will look very unflattering. 

£12 - Marriette Leopard Balconette Bra - http://www.bouxavenue.com/bras/mariette-leopard-balconette-bra/101629_01BM30C.html 

£4 - Mariette Strappy Thong - http://www.bouxavenue.com/knickers/mariette-leopard-thong/101630.html?dwvar_101630_color=01BM&dwvar_101630_dressSize=06&cgid= 

Due to the style of the bra I decided to have it on show peeping through a casual white shirt paired with a camel coloured plaid skirt, I have accessorized it with my current obsession which is corset belts. This one I have paired with my outfit is from newlook and I also use it too dress up my uniform at work. Oh and look theres also one of my cat Tinkerbell's kittens ... aren't they so darling or what.

Anyway hope you enjoyed this post of Lingerie, Sales, Fashion and Kittens! 

Much love Coral  

MAJORCA STYLE DIARY - DAY 5

Floral Goddess

So day four of my style diary is a simple look which made me feel like a flower goddess! This kimono is just to die for its so me! the floral lace print with tassels is just an overall winner out of all my kimonos. So 10 out of 10 to New Look ! The dress is a simple bandeau dress from H&M at the savvy price of under £5.00 so perfect for showing of my tan. The dress however is quite see through even with nude/white underwear so would suggest to wear this on holiday by the pool as its the perfect cover up! 

DRESS - H&M - KIMONO - NEWLOOK 

JULYS - FASHION BLOGGER BEAUTIES

Evening guys! 

Todays blog post is going to be about my a few of my favourite outfit picks from fashion bloggers  currently follow! plan to make this a weekly/monthly thing! So don't forget to tell me what you guys think!

Now on to the first outfit, I chose the beautiful Arabella Golby as I love her unique elegant classy style and had my heart stolen by one of her latest Parisian outfits courtesy of Lavish Alice. 

This beautiful co-ord in a dark ruby red looks so perfect on Arabellas fair skin.The length of the skirt is the very popular midi skirt and has a panel of organza on the lower hem of the skirt which looks very glam for such a simple outfit. The way the back opens out really adds to the whole 1950's look of this outfit. 

I LOVE IT! 

The second outfit has to be Danielle Kimberley, I have followed her on instagram since the begging and watching her bloom into this amazing fashion blogger has been amazing and been one of the reasons I started out my fashion blog and had the confidence too. The whole reason I chose this outfit was for the bottom half, the skirt/shorts. THEY ARE AMAZING 

I'm just totally in awe with this outfit, the way she has colour coordinated the blues and whites together makes this outfit really work. I love how from the side is looks like a maxi skirt and from the front its shorts with a long skirt attached to it. This outfit is more of a sports luxe look which is why I way so surprised I like as I'm just not that into sports luxe. 

Next outfit is from Hannah Louise Fashion who is a blogger I found through the primani on primark.com. Her style can be edgy and she also is very clever with her outfits. I chose this outfit as one of my favourites as I had my holiday in mind and thought this outfit would be so perfect for walking along a beach in Majorca. The colours are all pastel mostly paired with white but everything just falls perfectly in to place with this outfit. 

Next outfit is the beautiful Nicky Houghton. Her style at the moment is so Bohemiam, I love it! From her white crotchet maxi dresses to gorgeously printed over the shoulder jumpsuits, everything works for her! This outfit is also very boho its something you could wear everyday or dress up for a night out. 

 This white crochet dress has light blue tie dye print upon it making this look very hippy. just loving everything about this outfit! WELL DONE NICKY! 

Next outfit my jaw dropped when I saw it. It is candy pastel pom pom perfection! try saying that fast! anyway this blogger is called Stiches of Style and this outfit by her is utter perfection! 

The maxi long white lace kimono with the beautiful pom pom pastel coloured playsuit goes perfectly with her blonde hair and barbie pink heels! If I could wear only one pair of heels for the rest of my life they would have to be BARBIE PINK! 

I hope you guys liked this post, these are my favourite outfits from july! Will also be doing a post tomorrow which will be up at 6pm of my second holiday outfit so CHECK IT OUT!
