Monday Brief #1

So, What’s been up?

Monday, or rather mondaze… It’s by far the hardest day of the week to get yourself up and going but it’s also the best time to set new goals and start fresh! So, as a part of my newest series, I’ll be sharing a little bit of fun every Monday with you in the form of my Monday update!  

This Past Week…

Last week I actually had a lot of great things planned. I got to attend the Chloe Digital party for their official expansion into the UK, as well as their second birthday! I’ve had the pleasure to work with them for the last month and I have loved every minute of it so it was amazing to meet everyone in person! A lot of you shared your love for this top that I was wearing which is from Maje! You can get a similar one here and a similar jumpsuit version here. My case is from Uprosa (makes a great gift – it’s under £20!) which you can also get here. I also went ice skating at the Natural History Museum over the weekend, for the first time in.. almost 8 years! I only fell once but managed to get the hang of it after a while! I think it’s one of my favourite things to do now.. plus it’s a great work out. 

Speaking of work outs, I got to share my favourite gym essentials with you as well as tips for making it to the gym when it’s freezing outside! Read about it here if you missed it! I also shared one of my favourite looks with you here, and a fabulous gift guide for the techie in your life here! 

This Upcoming Week…

I’ve got a bit of packing to do this week as I have my Christmas trip coming up super soon! Any guesses where I’m off too? I’ve also got a fabulous event with Dash_ coming up and I can’t wait to see what that’s going to involve! I recently had a chance to see their clothes and I love them already! I’m also doing a Secret Santa with my favourite girls so I cannot wait to give my present! 

New In This Week…

This week, I am totally obsessed with my Gisou heat protector spray. It smells amazing and I really see the difference in my hair when I use it – it’s not as dry and it feels so soft no matter how many times I curl/blow dry! I am also loving my new Kapten & Sons watch – It’s a great one to have for everyday and it even matches with everything! Last but not least, my new jeans from Sun in Bergen have a layer of fleece on the inside (Yes, you read that right..) which keeps me super duper warm and I can wear my skinny jeans too! It’s a win win.

Playing Plaid Mix and Match

Sometimes the most unlikely pieces make the perfect pair.

I’ve never been one to mix two pieces together if I wasn’t 100% sure that they went together pretty well but something about the less obvious pairing, which at first, may seem strange, but something inside you just knows it’s right, has grown on me. Sometimes the most unlikely pieces make the perfect pair; much like this sweater and skirt. I actually bought this sweater and skirt on the same day, and had them on in the trial room at the same time. I had no intention of wearing them together but for the sake of time I tried them on together. When I glanced in the mirror and saw the look together, something inside me clicked – it was like a real life outfit straight from the set of Clueless, but it was quite clued in.

We are all familiar with the infamous tiger Kenzo sweatshirt, something which when I was just dabbling in blogging was my favourite thing to wear. Since them, Kenzo has made a splash on the scene with their H&M collaboration, boasting bright colours and funky patterns but when I saw this more sober sweater, I just knew it was perfect for me. In regard to plaid, you know me, I love a good plaid skirt. The material of this Acne skirt is perfect for keeping you warm this December, and the zip up detail going down the front made it more than just your every day piece of plaid. The colours seem like an unexpected combination, but if you really look at it, they are colours that would all work together on any other occasion, so why not this one?

It’s totally nuts that it is already the first day of December – I swear it was January just yesterday? For me, it’s a time for reflection. To reflect on what I was happy with this year, what went well for TSS, and what could be improved. Shoot me a message if there’s something specific you would like to read about in 2017 – I love reading your messages! I’ve got a very exciting event coming up tonight as well which I will be sharing live with you on my Snapchat! Don’t forget to add me there: The Silk Sneaker!
