Outfit post with leather panels, bows & gold
I'm a bit of a sucker for leather panelled, well, anything, so when this beauty arrived from Fashion union I was very pleased indeed. When items don't cost a lot, I expect the quality to be poor. Every item I've had from a 'fast fashion' brand, has impressed me. The jacket is gorgeous, versatile and such an easy throw-on for this ridiculously indecisive weather we are experiencing.

My necklaces are pretty special to me, the Arabic one says my name, and was a gift from my parents when I was a baby. They only let me have it once I was 18! I layered it up with a very cheap Forever 21 'Love Me' disc pendant, which I am obsessed with.
I teamed it with this cool bow front shirt from Glamorous to soften the look, and make it a little more 'girly'. Most of you will see a very boyish trend emerging from my outfit posts, and that's me really, I don't wear dresses! period! My little high waisted shorts are from Urban Outfitters a long time ago, but I live in them every Summer so they'll be getting some airtime in the months to come.

Gold mesh bracelet £29.00
This gold bracelet is by one of the most eclectic, high end jewellery brands to recently emerge, J9 Two Five. Janine Packman is a fashion grad and spent 6 years as an accessories buyer in Sri Lanka at a premier department store. After meeting and working alongside craftsmen and silversmiths, Janine was inspired to start J9 Two Five. The brand is inspired, developed and crafted in Sri Lanka and dons beautiful metals and gemstones alike.
J9 Two Five's brand ambition is to offer affordable luxury, and that is exactly what they do.
The pieces to come from the latest collection are incredible, and I am lucky to work alongside such an up and coming brand. And you lot are equally lucky because J9 Two Five are offering an EXCLUSIVE 15% discount when you use 'ROPESOFH15' at the checkout.

Outfit post: London boyfriend denim
As you will know, I have been in London all weekend for the long anticipated Vogue Festival. On Sunday I headed to Shoreditch, East London, one of the most exciting places to be in London, for some good food and my daily dose of people watching.
I wanted to be comfortable after my 13 hour stint in heels at the Vogue Festival a day earlier, cue ripped boyfriend jeans and Converse.
What I'm wearing:
Sunglasses- Cheap Monday at ASOS
Necklace- Limited Collection at Marks & Spencer
Celine tee- Ebay
Jacket- ZARA
Jeans- *c/o Fashion Union
Trainers- Converse
I have been wanting some ripped boyfriend jeans since, well, forever but I have struggled to find some that fit well because I'm pretty shapeless so they tend to just hang off me. The pictured jeans are from Fashion Union by Glamorous and I have lived in them ever since they arrived!
You can order yourself some here
Are you wearing ripped jeans to death yet?

Sports Luxe with My Flash Trash
Some of you may already be aware that I recently became an Ambassador for My Flash Trash. I couldn't be more proud to be working alongside such a wonderful, eclectic and cool jewellery boutique - especially when it's owned by the beautiful Amber Atherton, who is somewhat of a style icon to me!
The necklace featured in these posts is one of my most coveted necklaces to date. It's from the Flash Trash Girl collection which is bringing back 90's RAD! brilliantly priced at £30, you can get it here.
I think of it as an 'it' necklace because it is so versatile and can add that touch of neon to any outfit.
I teamed my Neon Star necklace from Flash Trash Girl with my new incredible Sports Luxe oversized tee from Glamorous UK for £21. I love this tee and it screams sports luxe to me! Not too girly but still very chic. You can get it here.
Patterned metallic cigarette pants-TOPSHOP £45 (no longer available)
Cut out boots- TOPSHOP £80 (no longer available)
What do you think about the Sports Luxe trend?

Inject the Spring 2013 trends into your wardrobe
Now most of you will have woken up to blankets of white snow this morning so this post may seem a little premature. However, I'm sure Spring is just around the corner so I wanted to do a post about how to create a capsule go-to wardrobe under £100 per item for the season we all eagerly await. Last year I started a personal styling consultancy service, Thread Style Consultancy with my friend so I will give you the best tips I've got! You can follow us on Twitter @threadstyle.
When I visited London Fashion Week this year, I spotted ample up and coming trends. There is certainly a trend to suit everyone! I'm going to take you through a couple of the key trends and then show you which pieces you need for your capsule wardrobe.

Style Shoot: Glamorous UK
I've been lucky enough to review an item of my choosing for the lovely ladies over at Glamorous HQ. You can't imagine my excitement when it arrived (beautifully packaged, I might add) I actually danced a little bit....
Anyway, one of the first things that crossed my mind was whether the shirt I had chosen would be a good quality item because of its low price point. I have to say, I couldn't have been more wrong, the shirt arrived and it was so beautifully made, fit in all the right places and was more flattering than I anticipated. Good quality in clothes is a big thing for me, I want to know that everything I have is worth the investment, and is going to last long enough to be paired in various ways throughout a season!
I thought this shirt deserved quite a chic styling so I went with a bowler hat, statement under-collar necklace, sleeveless blazer, leather skinnies.
**FYI** During the shoot it was cold AND windy so I owe the hair styling and squinting to the weather, thank you.
You can get this amazing shirt here and guess what.....it's only £24!
