June 2015

I am really enjoying my fall wardrobe but not the weather! Trying to stay warm is more fun than I thought and it reminds me of back when I was 15 and still would go out without a jacket or coat, not sensible at all! This winter my key colour pallet has been and still currently is black, camel, grey and a warm green. I went out this past weekend and wore a casual ensemble, what I really adored about this look was that a warm forest green shade appeared quite striking and made a statement so effortlessly. How are you all staying warm this winter?

P.S I have released I haven’t shared with you my coats and I have quite a lot, so look forward to me sharing my outerwear on here soon….

As we all know and was extremely excited to purchase from the collaboration with H&M and Alexander Wang! I love H&M collaborations they are really innovative bringing together high end and high street designers to the young and affordable fashion lover, making it accessible to all. My story is quite short and simple I went online and only was able to get this top! To be honest it was exactly what I wanted. When I first saw the look book this top had my name all over it, completely my style, simple, sexy but minimal. The one thing I wanted I got.

I styled this top with my leather Zara culottes which I think works so well and my favourite heels of the moment, Nudist sandal by Stuart Weitzman (link to all at the bottom). What did you guys purchase from the collection? I haven’t seen many people wear this top and I’m surprised, I thought it would be a big hit, it was for me anyway.

Nothing is more winter chic than the perfect winter boot and I am in love with these three boots! I wish I could just buy all but then I would be broke (not cute lol). So the first on the left are Jimmy Choo nappa leather knee high boots, these are classic’s and can be worn with a simple pencil skirt or for a casual look with jeans and a blazer, still given you a glam edge. KG by Kurt Geiger Vanessa’ boots are my next winter purchase, flat heel boots are quite difficult for me to shop for especially as I want something comfortable but yet a statement piece. I adore the mix of suede and leather which gives a minimal twist, I can’t wait to purchase these. Last but not certainly least Alexandre Birman stiletto boots a rich and detailed design, in terms of the leather cut-out detail and black lace up, it is the perfect example of small detail major effect. Let me know what you think of these and if you buy any of these items send a picture, would love to see how you styled it!

I have always loved the combination of blue and green when it comes to colour blocking. Typically colour blocking is a huge trend during summer pairing pastel or bright colour palettes together. Well you can also mix subtle shades of warm tones such as, navy blue, forest green and even burgundy and rock on a gloomy, cold London day and work!

I do love a pencil skirt so to find out I could make a dress into a skirt I was excited, I get two uses with one item, definitely worth a pretty penny. The dress is by Wolford called the ‘Fatal’ dress which I have worn on my Instagram and have been meaning to do a post on this wonderful timeless piece. You can even D.I.Y this item and create up to 12 styles (depending on how experimental you are with mixing and matching). I will make sure to put the link below for you guys to buy because it is amazing, fits really snug, feels great on your skin and of course very flattering around the curves! I of course paired it with a crop top and my trusty Pigalle pumps.

Cropped trousers in the fall? Not the usual winter piece you would initially go for but it is a great transition piece from the summers two big trends of the culottes pants and Bermuda shorts into the windy days of this season. The baggy feel is very comfortable and can be worn dressy or casual too.

This outfit tells a not so fun story, I planned to wear this outfit on Sunday with my leather jacket (me thinking this on Saturday) and when I was out that evening, my leather jacket got stolen. I had no other choice but to switch it up and wear my go-to long cardigan instead. My finished look worked out well in the end, I paired a simple grey body suit with these new Zara faux leather cropped trousers and strappy heels for a feminine touch.

I am now currently shopping for a new leather jacket! Would you preferred this outfit with a leather jacket or is the cardigan a better choice? Love to hear what look you would go for!

I can officially say its winter the evenings are so cold now and I am trying to still keep my outfits cute on a day to day basis. As I am getting into my winter wardrobe my colour palette is still neutral with simple pieces, some of you may know who have been following my style journey for a while now, is that I love white! And I am happy that I can still play around with various white looks this season and stay warm (doesn’t sound hard but black always feels warmer lol)

Over the weekend I paired this crop jumper from H&M and wore with a white leather pencil skirt and finished it off with my classic sorbet Jimmy Choo Pumps (links below). I plan to invest in cute crop jumpers and similar sweaters like this and have fun with my winter wardrobe.

Simple formula always works for me on a day to day basis. With winter swooping in I really enjoy wearing grey and black, it suits the weather and I feel classy and sexy all of a sudden (do not know why lol). I squeezed in time to take a few shots of what I was wearing last week Saturday before I went off to Birmingham for the weekend. Went for a casual look and paired it up with my favourite denim jeans the trusted Levi!
