Tight White


Happy Friday! So here I am in the tightest white jeans you've ever seen. I had a job to get in and out of them! White jeans are a piece I have wanted in my wardrobe for a while, but now that they have arrived, I'm too scared to wear them- just during my outfit shots I managed to get them dirty. Nevertheless, I love them and Boohoo are high on my fash list. I popped my Another 8 checked crop on with them for a checked Summer update. You can shop this Another 8 piece online and exclusively at Topshop on Oxford Street.

Have a lovely weekend and thank you so much for reading.

Olivia Burton final style challenge

So here is my final style challenge outfit as set by the wonderful girls at Olivia Burton, I hope I've done them proud! With this look, I've tried to channel daytime-chic with my go-to monochrome culottes and oversized leather jewelled clutch by Luna Amani. My outfit is all Boohoo, I'm blown away by their latest collection- so perfect and affordable! Two things every girl wants to hear when on a mission for some new threads. The lovely Luna from Luna Amani sent me over this bag and I cannot describe how incredible it really is, the leather is like butter and the jewels are so beautiful, plus my new Macbook Air is on it's way and this clutch will make a stylish new home for it! My brogues are Clarks, which I am living in recently...between these and my trusty Zara sliders, not a single pair of my other shoes are getting a look in. 

You can shop the entire look here:
Watch: Olivia Burton
Oversized blazer: Boohoo
Shirt: Boohoo
Brogues: Clarks

I hope you've had a lovely sun filled weekend.

Silk and Leather


I went to Glasgow a couple of weeks ago and it's got to be one of my favourite cities so far. The place is beautiful, cool and the shopping is amazing. In this outfit I'm wearing some treasures that I picked up in TK Maxx whilst I was there. I think I'd go as far as to say that I'm borderline obsessed with TK Maxx, especially the VIP section (that's where all the best brands go!) I always have the best luck at finding clearance gems! Honestly, if you want a designer bargain, you need to head to your nearest and biggest TK Maxx. I styled my leather gilet & silk shirt  with some ripped skinnies and peep toe heels. I wore this out for dinner for my boyfriends birthday at the Corinthian club as pictured above- it was incredible. 

*Shop the look:
Leather gilet- Robert Rodriguez (TK Maxx)
Silk shirt-Mason Martin Margiela (TK Maxx)
Jeans- Missguided
Shoes- Primark Similar here
Sunglasses- Le Specs

I hope your week has gotten off to a good start today.

Stripes

  
Stripes have got to be my favourite 'wear anywhere' trend. Given half the chance, I'd wear something oversized and nautical everyday. Here I'm wearing a somewhat girly pinstripe pencil skirt that's borderline too tight for my liking....but I can deal with it. I'm still obsessing over my Ark platforms in this post, I've always thought a great pair of shoes can make an outfit, and I still stand by that! This is definitely a trait I picked up form my fabulously stylish mum who owns so many shoes, she has to hide them from my dad.

Sunglasses-Le Specs
Top-COS
Skirt- H&M in store only

Hope you all had a fabulous Bank Holiday. A 4 day week is such a relief!

London Fashion Week Day 3

Day 3. I think this was my favourite outfit, for no other reason other than that I was warm. The sun was out and I felt comfortable as I nursed the previous days' blisters with my Adidas trainers. I swear never to wear heels to LFW again, especially when there are cobbles to be negotiated with. I opted for a more casual feel to this days' outfit teaming a cropped knit with some fairly structured culottes and finished with a slouchy biker jacket by my new favourite London based brand, Another 8. I even took a tactical bag change c/o Paul's Boutique, I'm in love with this white/navy reversible clutch!

I wore:
Sunglasses: Le Specs
Jumper: Zara
Jacket: Another 8
Culottes: Topshop
Trainers: Adidas
Bag: Another 8
Clutch: Paul's Boutique- order here Paul's Boutique online store
Watch: Gown & Oars
Rings: Jo Vane, My Flash Trash, Cheap Monday, Monica Vinader

What are your thoughts on the comeback of culottes?

Summer vibes

The weather is nothing short of ridiculous at the moment, so let me assure you, I did not venture outside this week to shoot this outfit!
Clarks kindly sent me some brand new SS14 wedges to style up. I love stripes, leather, layers and little details so I decided to add a winter-esque grunge feel to these shoes so I can start to try and introduce them into my wardrobe sooner than Spring/Summer!

Sunglasses: Le Specs
Top: Fashion Union
Drop waist dress: H&M 
Leather jacket: Preen
Shoes: Clarks

I'm off to London Fashion Week on Friday so you can keep up to date with all of my activities via


Have an amazing weekend and stay safe in this almighty weather!

OOTD: leather & panelling

I couldn't possibly explain how much I still love the monochrome trend. It's the most easy palette to pair, yet never fails to look chic. So here I am over the weekend sporting my sleeveless leather biker in my most favourite way yet!

I have been wearing my new Le Specs sunglasses to death. They are incredible! and FYI, I had mine before the Delevingne sisters! I ordered them from Sydney, they were only around £45 and they came in around 10 days.

Sleeveless leather biker- TOPSHOP
White panelled vest- Zara sale
Grey silk scallop shorts- The Kooples
Monocrome shoes- Zara
Sunglasses- Le Specs Eyewear

Are you still into monochrome tones?

Charles Clinkard x Hunter Collaboration: Festival style
