The Missoma ring edit

Wearing jewellery is something that I feel makes me who I am. It's a way I express my style and I always hold such sentiment to each piece I wear. For those of you who don't wear much jewellery, whether thats because you never have done or because you don't know how to, I teamed up with the wonderful team at Missoma to bring you a ring stacking edit to show you the ways to wear your rings. The rest of the jewellery featured here is actually Missoma too.... So I'll link it all at the end (I have a slight Missoma obsession).

The first part of the edit is based around a day time look. Coffee with friends, shopping and generally cool but effortless.

Shop the daytime edit:
Gold double horn ring
Gold triple horn ring
Silver double horn ring
Gold bolt ring with rainbow moonstone
Gold evil eye charm bracelet

The second instalment brings you ways to wear your rings into night time. I was on my way out to eat at the fanciest restaurant I'd ever been to, followed by cocktails, so I upped my ring game significantly!

Shop the evening edit:
Gold double horn ring
Gold triple horn ring
Silver double horn ring
Gold bolt ring with rainbow moonstone
Single screw ring with diamonds
Gold bar ring with diamond
Gold evil eye charm bracelet

How do you wear your rings, are you a natural when it comes to stacking?

Thank you so much for reading, it means so much that you take the time to pop back.

Genevieve Sweeney

I absolutely have to introduce you to Genevieve Sweeney, AKA the only knitwear brand you should be wearing this A/W.
Yesterday I visited the beautiful premium British knitwear designer at her pop up store in Hackney, The Hackney Store. Genevieve has transformed the pop up shop into a beautiful space of her own for just this week. We drank coffee and I poured over (not the coffee) both current and next seasons collection. It was love.
Genevieve is such an incredible woman, talented with the most amazing vision for her brand. She goes from sketch to production and you can see every bit of her passion in the process.

We talked through yarns and colour blends and just how much work goes into each piece- to be honest I had no idea it was so technical, it's amazing what has to happen to create one beautiful piece!

There are scarfs made for A/W dreams and socks (I'm wearing mine right now) that are so soft and cosy. Mine have a sparkle fleck through them and I wore them with my Stan Smith's today- amazing combo.

We're planning an exciting collaboration next month so keep your eyes peeled!

If you do anything with your Friday this week, make it a trip to see Genevieve at:

The Hackney Shop

Thank you so much for reading. Have a wonderful evening!

Brand focus: Charli Cohen

The start of the year brings many a resolution. The most popular being: get fit. I've followed Charli Cohen on Twitter for some time now and the girl is incredible. Impeccable taste in clothes and has now released her very own high end luxe sports wear range 'The Vis Collection'.

Featured in February's Vogue and acclaimed to be a genius collection, I had to have a chat with Charli about the collection.

L: I know you've loved fashion for a long time and studied it at Kingston University London, did you always know you wanted to design sportswear?

C: I'd always planned to be a womenswear designer but my pursuits in the fitness industry were very much seperate. It wasn't until the first year of my BA, when I helped one of the final year students on a sport-luxe collection, that I realised sportswear design was the perfect consolidation of my two passions!

L: Your latest collection 'The Vis Collection' is both beautiful and eclectic. What was your inspiration for this?
C: The VIS Collection explores the movement patterns and anatomy of strength training - the garments are inspired by the inner toughness of the woman that wears them.

L: I read a feature about your collection in none other than Vogue....I bet that was so exciting! How did that happen?

C: It felt incredible to featured in the February issue! Vogue's wellbeing editor Calgary Avansino is a real front-woman for the wellness movement in the UK and she's always on the look out for what's new and upcoming. I was fortunate enough to connect with her and she's been a great support.

L: Do you think dressing well for workouts inspires women to work harder and maintain motivation? because you've certainly pushed me to get back into training!

C: In my experience, absolutely! First of all, buying a new piece of kit is definitely motivation to try it out (and thus to train). What we wear also gets us ‘into character’ – a suit can help us feel professional, heels can help us feel sexy, a cosy can hoodie help us relax – great workout-wear can help encourage a great workout. Feeling good about ourselves is powerful and that power can definitely be translated physically into training harder and more effectively.
