LOST IN PARIS

I’ve always wanted to do Paris at Christmas time so a last minute ticket booked on the Eurostar was all it took and we landed pretty much a day later. I’ve never experienced Paris in full Christmas swing before with all it’s lights sparkling it was definitely magical. We stayed at Hotel Flanelles in the Atelier Suite which had such a cool vibe to it but cosy at the same time! With a log fire to keep us warm and a sky window that opened out to the stars it was very romantic but equally just as fun for a…

WINTER OUTERWEAR – Vegan Faux Leather Jackets

In this day and age it’s hard for us to ignore the damage our fashion choices are making on the environment, so I wanted to start making some choices that were more eco-friendly and sustainable. With that said I wanted to introduce you to a brand that produces good quality vegan leather jackets whose brand ethos is hope – translated ‘Hoffen’ in German. Hoffen is found in Brazil and is now a global company that specialises in providing a great quality synthetic alternative to leather. Not only do they pride themselves in being eco-friendly and not harming animals in the…

HOW TO STYLE THERMALS & HOSIERY

The weather has definitely turned here in England so fighting off the chill has been my main priority when it comes to dressing this month. Whether it’s casual for every day or a fancy night out I am strategically layering to keep warm. So let’s talk tights! Tights are something that I turn to a lot this time of year. Whether it’s worked into my outfit or underneath my trousers for layers they are an essential part of my wardrobe and also a great way to add a little fun! I either opt for a subtle skin colour and a…

HOW TO ACCESSORISE YOUR EVERY DAY LOOKS

It’s my favourite time of year not only for the weather but for the fashion as well. The crisp air creeps in and the woolies come out and I love it. I love the cold and working in layers for Autumn – the different fabrics, textures and accessories! I’ve created five looks in today’s blog post in collaboration with Penarosa – an Italian luxury watch brand – focusing on everyday wearable styles for both weekends and workdays. So for my first look I’ve opted for an all white outfit – a heavy catwalk trend this season and I am here…

My Spring Style Evolution

It’s finally Spring… I think – the British weather might be saying otherwise. Amidst the the thunder storms the days of sunshine have really got me excited for those warmer months. I thought I’d catch up with you and explain a little about my style evolution this year. Autumnal fashion has always been a favourite of mine. I love layering different types of fabric and it’s where I feel my fashion game is naturally at it’s strongest. Spring is such a difficult wardrobe to master – the weather is just so unpredictable. You want the fresh light colours but still…

NEW IN MY WARDROBE

See what’s new in my wardrobe this week. I have a mix of items from the highstreet which I’ve styled up several different ways to give you some inspirations for you outfits this week. I’ve been obsessing over accessories recently and pairing them with simple outfits – I think it can make a huge difference and really up your style game. My favourite has to be a very gucci-esque bag I found from River Island with a bamboo handle which will make for the most perfect summer tote. Also River Island tailoring has to have a mention as it’s definitely…

3 SIMPLE WAYS TO KICK THOSE LOW MOODS

I posted an image on my Instagram stories last night of myself in Paris two years ago. From the outside it probably looks like I’m having a fabulous time but on the inside I was going through what I can say has been the worst part of my life so far. I captioned the image ‘Paris March 2017 – I quit my job, my relationship, my life and started all over again. Do you ever wish you could go back in time and tell yourself it’s all going to be fine?’ I remember being in such a sad place. I’m…

LFW 5 – DOLCE & GABBANA x PRADA

This is my last look of London Fashion Week and quite possibly my favourite. I’ve always been a huge fan of layering, I love the different silhouettes you can create with different pieces. The shirt underneath dresses is something I’ve been loving for a while now and will be in my wardrobe for the foreseeable future. I love popping a polo-neck, shirt and as we head into the warmer months a bardot blouse underneath items I already have in my wardrobe to create different looks. I started this look with the dress – after locking eyes upon the beautiful green…

LFW 4 – CHRISTIAN DIOR X MCQUEEN

Look 4 has to be one of the most beautiful items of clothing I have ever worn – and I’ve worn a lot. This Dior blouse is something that wouldn’t seem out of place in an exhibition. Very relevant as the Dior exhibition had just landed in London V&A museum which I still need to go see! The billowing sleeves is something I want to take into this season – pairing this style underneath sleeveless knits would look adorable! Lacing as well is huge on the highstreet at the moment – Zara is full of incredible lace suits you need…
