Minimal

// Coat - Zara (charity shop find) // Cami - Zara // Skirt - Topshop // Heels - Zara //

Although recently I've been trying to buy into prints and patterns minimal, block colour is something I always drift back to and it usually involves mostly black. For me, its a safe way to dress, I know its what I feel comfortable in and I can mix and match my favourite pieces in endless combinations. It's easy, especially in winter as it makes layering simple. I found this skirt in the Topshop sale at just £18; I think grey is like black or white, it goes with almost anything and when combined with the cut of the skirt, gives it a modern feel. I had to add my new shoes, I wanted to show them off to you 'in action', and the splash of colour hopefully stopped me from looking like I was in a monotonous uniform.

Please excuse my messy hair (the strand at the top is irritating me as I write this post), and unnecessary sun glasses, after a day at sixth-form I was looking less than glamorous and honestly couldn't be bothered to put effort in to fix it!

Killer Heel

This year I've told myself that I need to buy more coloured shoes, currently almost all of mine are black and its a little depressing, so whilst browsing through the Zara sale I managed to find this amazing pair of red courts, the perfect addition to my new collection.

// Courts - Zara - £19.99//

These were an absolute steal so I would highly recommend you all to have a browse through the Zara sale if you're looking for some new heels. I think a red pair are a brilliant starting point when it comes to wearing more colour on my feet, there is something classy yet sexy about a red heel and they are definitely a statement shoe. I'm looking forward to styling mine with monochrome outfits for a quirky take on the trend.

Also, just a side note to ask how you feel about the quality of these photos, I've been playing around with the lighting and editing hopefully to make my blog a bit more interesting!

Leather Weather

Im back! Its been a ridiculously long time since my last post (how many times has that been said), towards the end of last year things got a bit hectic and so both my blog and my instagram took a bit of a back seat. Hopefully this time my posts won't be as irregular and I can't wait to start blogging again!

Im starting back with a fashion post, featuring my new PU leather trousers, which I am obsessed with! (Excuse the glare on the photos, my mum is no professional photographer).

// Coat - Vintage // Jumper - Missguided // Trousers - New Look // Boots - ASOS //

I think leather trousers are a great alternative to dark jeans, they create an effortless, chic look and make an outfit look put together.  These ones were such a good price, they are the skinny style ones, which for some reason I thought were a better quality PU than the other styles, so I'd highly recommend them!

The rest of the outfit was kept simple, a black velvet jumper and my beautiful vintage coat which was an absolute steal!

Thanks for reading guys, my next post won't be too far away so keep a look out!

Power Print

// Peplum Top - Asos // Trousers - Zara // Heels - Topshop //

I think that once the weather starts to get cooler and we head into A/W outfits tend to get duller; I'm the first to admit being guilty of this. This year I'm determined to keep colour in my wardrobe, at least for most of the time. This peplum top adds shape and a bold print to an outfit, I love this shade of blue (I'm channeling china plates) and I think it can be worn either with the usual dark colours as in this case, or for more of a statement could be paired with something brighter (I have red in mind). Another thing to mention about this outfit are my trousers, this casual, jogger esque shape is all over the high street in the minute and depending on the fabric can be either smart or casual, they are warm and comfy yet somehow still relatively stylish and are therefore a winter staple.

Thanks for reading guys!

Double Velvet

// Jacket - Topshop // Jumper - Missguided // Skirt - Asos // Boots Asos //

I think I may have a small obsession with velvet, its such a beautiful fabric, especially for autumn winter and theres something so classic about it. I love this wine coloured skirt that i recently got in the Asos sale, its the perfect colour for the season and being bodycon makes it super flattering. The Missguided jumper has a velvet front and chiffon back, I don't think the photos do it much justice as it looks a bit of an odd shape, but ever since I got this I've been wearing it whenever its cooler out. These boots will probably feature in many posts to come as they will be my winter staple. The pointed toe makes them a little quirky and being real rather they are bound to last for a couple of seasons at the least!

Ive got an exciting event coming up soon, so hopefully I will have some pictures to share with you in a couple of weeks, until then more outfit posts will be on the way!

Thanks for reading!

Wardrobe Essential: Black Heels

// From top left, clockwise // Topshop // Zara // New Look //

Recently I've noticed myself forming a slight obsession with black shoes, they take a large proportion of my complete collection and I think its just because they are so classic and easy to style. A pair of back heels is an essential in any modern womans wardrobe, especially a pair which can take you from day to night. Currently I have 3 pairs which to me all suit different occasions and moods. My Topshop court are perfect for both day and night which can make any outfit look effortlessly styled. Similarly my brand new leather pair from Zara can be worn all hours of the day but create a more minimalist edgy look due to the chunky heel. Finally my velvet New Look pair are perfect for a night out, with the platform to give height.

Obviously you don't need 3 pairs of black heels, which to most people probably look the same, but I still think that one pair can be worn with almost anything and can immediately make a boring outfit look exciting, an easy and economic way to change up several looks!

Camel Couture

 // Jacket - Pull & Bear // Cami - Topshop // Leather Skirt - Zara // Heels - Zara // Sunglasses - Zara // Scrunchie - Urban Outfitters // 

A lightweight jacket is such a perfect piece to take you through to A/W,  they're perfect to throw on on cooler evenings or to layer up with coats when it gets really cold! This one form Pull & Bear is in a gorgeous camel/sand colour, a shade predicted to be big next season in the military trend.

I kept the whole outfit quite simple, using contrasting soft and leather textures to add detail, the leather skirt was picked up in the Zara sale for an insane £7.99. I must apologise, the leather heels from my last post had to be featured again, I just can't get over them!

Thanks for reading guys!

Clean Cut

// Blazer - Pull & Bear // Top - Zara // Jeans - BDG ant Urban Outfitters // Heels - Zara // Sunglasses - Zara //

In the UK we tend to have weird summers. There can be a heatwave for weeks or rain, or overcast skies, or even cold temperatures, and after a few weeks of insane heat the weather has been a bit bland. I think that its important to still keep looks looking summery and light, even when the weather may not permit for crop tops and shorts. 

I am totally in love with this nude blazer, discovered in the sale at Pull & Bear whilst on holiday in Spain, it was a steal at only 10 euros! The heels were also a Spanish find, from Zara, even more ridiculous these were reduced from 70 euros to only 10, being real leather I couldn't leave them behind!

This is the style that my future posts will follow and I'd love any comments that you have!

Cool Leather

During a visit to my nearest Zara I found some gorgeous pieces in the sale that I thought would be perfect to take from summer through to winter. I ended up picking up 2 pleather skirts, one white and one black for just £7.99 and I thought the white one was such lovely piece to add texture to a summer outfit. I paired it with my grey crop top from Urban Outfitters which was on my blog couple of post go (apologies for the repetition) but I thought it gave a clean and classy finish to the outfit

 // Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters // Crop Top - Urban Outfitters // Skirt - Urban Outfitters // Mules - New Look (see last post) //

Also new in this post is my purple ombre hair, which I did myself and I know a few of you are interested in it, so If you would like a post on how I did it comment below! I'm also thinking of changing by blog name, simply to match my content a little better so please let me know what you think to the idea!

Thanks for reading guys and hopefully over summer my posts will become more consistent!

Mules: This Seasons Shoe

Hi Guys! Today's post is centred around my latest purchase! I've been wanting some mules since they started appearing on my favourite blogs in early summertime and couldn't leave this pair in New Look when I saw them!

// Crop Top - Topshop // Shorts - Topshop // Mules - New Look //

I love these shoes and I dare say that I'm going to be wearing them a lot over this season and into autumn as well! These shorts made an appearance on my blog some time ago and I think I might have deleted the post but I decided to keep this outfit simple; perfect for summer and hot weather.

Thanks for reading!

Sundress

Another outfit post today! I feel like since I've started my blog and instagram my interests have shifted more towards fashion than beauty, which is annoying for you guys I know, and I'm thinking of changing my blog name to be more fitting. I will still be posting beauty but at the moment I'm just really into fashion, plus outfit posts are so easy and impromptu to make.

I finally took some outfit photos with my camera so hopefully you will be able to notice the difference! Also please excuse my awful nails, I'm lazy.

// Dress - H&M // Jacket - Topshop // Boots - Topshop // Bag - Zara //

I really love this dress, it was another purchase from my trip to manchester and I think it will be a key piece for summer, and the best part about it? The price, it was only £5.99,I'm going to look online for any other patterns this comes in because the fabric is so light and soft and feels like it should have cost much more.

Apologies for wearing the same leather jacket again, it's such a staple and just goes with everything, I wear it far too often.

Thanks for reading guys, and thanks for staying with me despite the content change recently, I really do appreciate it! On another note, I recently reached 100 followers on Bloglovin, which really means a lot!
