LFW 3 – Dolce & Gabbana x Louis Vuitton

Look 3 is a monochrome affair emphasising one of my most favourable fashion rules – you just can’t go wrong with black! Black is my fail safe – I think it’s sexy & sophisticated, a definite winning combination. The 70’s vibe was all over last seasons catwalk and definitely my inspiration behind layering polo necks and shirts underneath dresses and jumpsuits lately. I put my own spin on it and instead of opting for the seventies psychedelic colour palette I’ve gone black & white. This look again is from Designer Exchange as we continue my LFW takeover. The stores actually…

LFW 2 – Suited & Booted – Celine & Pucci

I put together the look for day 2 when my eyes fells upon this jewel embellished blazer by Emilio Pucci. Like a magpie I’m immediately drawn to anything that sparkles, but Pucci just manages to do it an elegant classy way that doesn’t scream disco Fridays! Not only was the soft twinkle working for me but the tailoring of this jacket is on point – fitted and feminine. So I went polar opposite and paired it with a mans white crisp shirt. I love androgynous vibes with super glam make up and hair I think it has a really powerful…

LFW 1 – A DOUBLE AFFAIR WITH CHANEL

It’s my favourite time of year when the glitterati descend upon London and wear their most showcasing outfits. It’s a time to experiment, a time to stand out and a time to live and breathe fashion. I feel very much in my natural habitat at London Fashion Week. This year I have partnered with Designer Exchange who have offered to dress me for the week. If I haven’t gone on about them enough over the past few months they buy and sell designer items. So whether you have a piece you would like to sell, looking for a designer bargain…

CALLING BULLSHIT ON MEN IN SUITS & THE …

I like the way Christian thinks – creating a beauty product and a weapon. You can never skip on self-defence in this day and age. It’s the 7th January 2019 and I’m going to say what everyone else says… where the hell did 2018 go? Whether you conquered all in the last year or it was abysmal January is always a time to reset, rebalance and reassess your life. I’d like to inform you that my new years resolution no.1 of becoming a morning person is going swimmingly as I’ve just surfaced at midday due to a noisy Italian neighbour…

PARTYWEAR WITH MARKS & SPENCER

It’s that time of year when shopping lists are drawn up, presents are bought and we’re constantly asked to reveal what it is we want. It’s human nature to long for things we don’t have or lust after what others have that sometimes we forget all the amazing things we have in our lives. I’m very lucky as a blogger to receive a lot of amazing things through the post which I’ve never taken for granted, especially as I started with pretty much nothing. The one thing about my job that I’m very grateful for is that it put materialism…

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START …

We’re pretty much told at 16 years old to decide our careers. Then at 18 we should go to university because obviously degrees are so important. Then somewhere mid twenties we should meet our dream partner. Married at thirty. Pop a few kids out by the time we’re 35. If we don’t do the above in said order are we failures? Well, I’m thirty and I haven’t done half of that list and the other half I did in completely the wrong order. Have I failed? My shoe closet says otherwise… I was always smart at school,…

THE CHLO-STREET EDIT

– HITTING REFRESH – Autumn is my favourite time of year – when the air turns crisp for the first time, your knits and faux furs get their first outing and excessive tea drinking is a necessity. Most of all my love of Autumn stems from hitting the refresh button. Maybe it’s ingrained in to us because of school but every Autumn I like to reassess and restart. With that said I’d like to welcome you back to the blog! With video content taking the limelight I had neglected my little old blog but like everything in life you…

HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED

Stuck in a rut, fed up, exhausted – these are all feelings we’ve encountered somewhere along the way. Me too! I think it’s possibly the most normal thing to experience these slumps in life so don’t beat yourself up too much! I wanted to share with you how I tend to pull myself out of a motivational slump! First things first – ditch anything addictive. For me that’s caffeine, chocolate & alcohol. When I’m feeling fed up I will drink 30 cups of tea a day, swap my Freddo for a king size and instead of drinking socially I…

NAVIGATING THE SALES!

You may have noticed that the high street has gone full pelt into sales at the moment aka my worst nightmare. I love rummaging for a good bargain but I run a mile at the sight of all these jumble sales in shops. I’m an online shopper! I like to create Pinterest boards and really think about what I am about to purchase. I came across a fab tool that can help you do that and just wanted to mention it on my blog as it’s help me tackle the sales. It’s a company called ShopTagr – my video explain…

4 LIFE TIPS I WISH I TOLD MYSELF 10 …

Sorry for my little absence on my blog, settling into London life literally turned my world upside down! Now that I had a little spare time I wanted to get back to writing and talking to you guys on a more personal level. It’s been four years pretty much since I left London and coming back to the same place after such a long time really highlighted my change in mindset and how much I’ve learnt over the past few years. Walking back down memory lane made me realise how different my perspective is on life and people now. About…
