Power layering with Ganni

Good morning! I hope you're all having the best week. Sorry I haven't been as active recently, I'm in the process of getting a new flat for Chris and I and it is stress!

OH glorious Ganni silk striped dress. Ever since I welcomed this little number into my wardrobe, I've been hard pushed not to wear it with absolutely everything.

When this arrived through my letterbox just in time for Christmas, C/O the wonderful team at Coggles, I tore it open like a child and tried it on immediately. You know when you get something new and it makes you feel good on the inside, yeah, that. Coggles are all kinds of brilliant, you need to have a look at their sale, it's smashing!

I've worn it so many ways so far, but this look is my absolute favourite and it was all a big accident. I was shooting with Emma earlier this week and I was doing that really glamorous thing that bloggers do when shooting outside; getting undressed and re-dressed in broad daylight, in public, and I was mid change when Emma thought that my two half outfits were a full one. And so I rolled with it.

My jacket is Ganni too, I've had it for around a year and I have had the most wear out of it over anything else in my wardrobe. Ganni are just wonderful, really. Beautiful designs, amazingly cut and absolutely built to love and last.

These beloved mules are by ASOS, a steal at £32! and my watch is by Daniel Wellington, where you can grab 15% off with my discount code "DWRopesofholland".

I hope you love this outfit as much as I do! Thank you so much for reading.

Drop waists and pinstripes


Hello 2016! I hope you all had the best Christmas and New Year's Eve. We spend so long anticipating   this time of year and it seems to pass us by in a flash. I had the best time but I'm kind of ready to resume to normal life now, including four very wonderful days of work to recuperate! 

Last week I went for a post Christmas catch up with one of my closet girls, Lauren (Lozza to me). We    shot this look and then proceeded to eat too much cheese. I mean we were both pretty poorly afterwards. But I'd do it all again in the name of cheese.

I've been living in this drop waist dress from ASOS White, and I've come to conclude that drop waists are a tall girls best friend. Super flattering, black, with a v neck and crimped edges, scoring lots of lazy girl points for me.

My Daniel Wellington watch hasn't left my wrist since it arrived. You can't go wrong when its silver paired with black leather, it literally compliments everything. Especially a lot of my jewellery. When I went back to work after Christmas I felt all kinds of naked without it. 
The leather strap is incredible, I adore the crocodile effect. You can shop my watch with 15% off when you enter "DWRopesofholland" at the checkout! You're welcome!

This pinstripe wonder is also by ASOS and has travelled all over with me recently. The stand up collar is what I like most about it, and the contrast of the grey with the navy blue. Amazing.

So my obsession with Missoma jewellery isn't coming to come to an end any time soon and my favourite pieces are firmly around my neck and wrist. They very rarely come off and have worn so well.

As usual I'm wearing my favourite bag ever, by Anya Hindmarch  which is now back in stock! And my very special, metallic shoes are the Adriana trainers by Acne, which I cannot stop wearing. To be honest for the first few wears my feet were screaming, but now I've worn them in, they're perfect.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I'm spending mine with my other half, family and cups of tea.

The perfect winter coat

French brand La Redoute are making waves in all the right places recently. I'm very lucky to be working with them on a few style edits where I've chosen my top pieces and first off, is this absolutely incredible coat. This piece was the end result of a collaboration with French Designer Coralie Marabelle. 
A few amazing points:
The cut and fit of it is so spot on
Its wool (think WARMTH!)
The colour is beautiful for the winter, instead of black. Its kind of nude with the tiniest hint of pink, making it such an easy neutral colour to wear with all of your winter layers.

*My friend has already bought it after seeing it on me and there's currently £100 off! 

I'm wearing a black simple ribbed jumper dress and trainers for a simple, casual but very warm look. The dress is another piece from the This is Welcome SS16 drop, which will be available in February. In case you can't wait until then...I've popped a similar alternative down for you to shop.

Shop my look:
La Redoute x Coralie Marabelle wool coat
Ribbed high neck dress by This is Welcome, similar here at Monki
Anya Hindmarch bag
Missoma x Lucy Williams dagger necklace
adidas Stan Smith trainers

Tall girl flares


I never thought I would find a pair of flares that I'd consider wearing. I couldn't see how they would work for me and my style, but here I am feeling right at home in this incredible pair, I just had to make them work for me. This particular pair are by one of my new found favourite brands This is Welcome. They are part of the SS16 line so aren't out just yet....but hold on until February and you can get your hands on a pair! To make them feel less 70's trend and more casual, I popped on my And Other Stories slouchy shirt and tucked it in, undid a few buttons so you could see my beautiful Missoma Jewellery pieces and threw on trainers and Emma Hill's jacket...because I was frozen, soaked from the rain and had forgotten my own black jacket!
I love this look so much, I found it to be a cool, relaxed nod to the 70's trend without having to conform to a 'trend'.

You can shop my look here:
And Other Stories shirt
Wide leg jeans, similar at ASOS
Double breasted jacket, Zara, similar Mango
Anya Hindmarch bag
Missoma initial necklace
Missoma x Lucy Williams dagger necklace

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you have a great week!
I would love to know your thoughts on this look.

Autumn layers: Monochrome tones


Here I am again, enjoying, yes, enjoying the colder weather. Wrap yourself up in enough layers and you've nailed the look and the warmth in one. "Two birds with one stone"- words by by nana. 

The darker days and nights also mean that it's appropriate to dig out my favorite colours....
I'm becoming really excited about layering over shirts at the moment, I seem to have so much knitwear that this works well with, and my collection is still growing! The jumper I'm wearing here is by La Redoute and to be honest, it is just unreal. La Redoute are fast becoming one of my most loved minimal, basics brands because they just do it so well. The quality and price point are both spot on. They have a number of seriously cool collaborations with French designers, and you should see some of the pieces. I've got so much of it to share with you!

The pants I'm wearing, that you've seen on me before, are from COS. I wear them regularly because I've not found a cut or fit that rivals them! They are the perfect awkward length wide leg trouser.

I'll be doing something very exciting with beautiful jewellery brand Missoma in the coming weeks and I cannot wait to share it with you. I'm layering up my favorite necklaces here. I'm wearing the engraved bar with the longer dagger from the Lucy Williams collection.

Shop my look:

I hope you all have the most lovely Sunday planned ahead. Thank you so much for reading and as always, I would love to know your thoughts.

ACNE Dream Jacket


I'm very lucky that my boyfriend has incredible dress sense. Cue him giving me some inspiration and his wonderful ACNE jacket that I refuse to take off.
These shots were taken on one of my wonderful days off from work. My days off are so important to me because I make sure I fill them up with creativity, inspirational people and generally feel-good things! 

I'm living in my Gap trousers at the moment, super easy to wear, comfortable and best of all, they work wonderfully with my trainer collection. You don't need me to point out that it's getting colder....but it is, so I'm quite happy to layer away now. I put on my Sacai sweat x shirt hybrid top for extra warmth and obviously, my Anya Hindmarch bag came too.

I hope you're having a class week! Happy flipping Friday!
Thank you so much for reading
