The High Low Edit: Outfit #1

One of my goals with The Silk Sneaker is to constantly give you guys style inspiration whether that be through styling advice, tips or tricks. One of the key aspects of my style is mixing the best of luxury fashion and the best of the high street to create fashionable and trendy outfits that you can wear on a day to day basis too. That’s why I’m replacing Friday Favourites with a brand new seris called “The High Low Edit”

You can expect a quick dose of inspiration every Friday, where I break down how I created an outfit that I wore previously during the week. Where I got each piece from, why these pieces are worth it and some similar items. All that in just a quick glance! I hope you enjoy this new series and if you do recreate this outfit, remember to tag me on Instagram and #TheSilkSneakerEdit so I can see it too!

I love this Helmut lang hoodie because it works season after season as a great off duty piece. It’s very relaxed and can be styled with virtually anything. This is a great investment piece because the fit is also very flattering!

In terms of the high street finds; This Zara skirt is a winner because of the fabulous button details. The khaki colour means it will last you for more than just one season as well. I’ve had this ASOS waist belt for ages now and it never fails me. It’s one of those high street pieces that looks so much more luxe than it is. Those are the kinds of high street pieces you want to invest in!

Which one is your favourite?

I love a good wrap top and this one even has the prettiest lace details! There is nothing to not love! Plus, a blue summer blouse like this one is so refreshing!

How To Style That Cute Summer Top for A Casual City Look

Time to get that Summer top out…

Although the rain may be pouring down in London this week, there is no denying that summer is well on its way, which means it’s time to get your summer wardrobe in order and make the most of those cute summer tops! If you’re thinking those white off the shoulder blouses and wrap around shirts are just for the beach, you’re wrong! I always believe in making the most of your wardrobe and finding ways to wear your favourite summer holiday pieces in your city too! That’s the way to guarantee no shortage of summer outfits! Here’s how to style that adorable summer top for your next day out on the town!

This Esse Vie white, off shoulder blouse, is perfect for a day in the sun in the likes of Capri or Cannes, but it’s equally adorable for a casual summer day outfit too! I wanted to pair this summer blouse with something edgier, so I opted for a layered leather skirt. I love that the layers of the skirt still make the outfit quite feminine, but the leather adds that perfect contrast!

Accessories are always key to any summer outfit! The baker boy hat is still a trending piece for 2018 and it’s a great way to dress down this beautiful blouse! I paired it with my favourite Chanel Boy Bag and Churchs boots and I suddenly had the perfect outfit for a summer day!

There is also a great selection on Net-A-Porter because everyday should be women’s day right?

Anyways, scroll down for my favourite quote, song, t-shirt and spring dress this week!

How To Wear Vinyl Trousers This Spring

I’m Feeling The Vinyl This Spring…

There is no denying that vinyl is a trend that is here and here to stay. Although I’ve been able to create and style so many spring outfit ideas with vinyl skirts, I had always been hesitant about vinyl pants; until now. I finally took the plunge and bought my first pair of vinyl trousers from ASOS a few weeks ago. I was so excited because I realised that they actually make for the perfect spring outfit! I love that you can create a casual outfit that still makes an amazing fashion statement! I suddenly had a surge of style inspiration when I tried them on because they can be matched with so many pieces (spring outfits galore!) but for this look, I paired them with one of my favourite statement sweaters.

I love that the fit of this sweater is sort of sporty, yet fashionable! It’s also so comfortable that I’m wearing it on repeat! I can’t resist a good statement hoodie and I fell in love with this one the minute I saw it. I’m all about mixing high street and high end, but also balancing out my super edgy outfit with a touch of femininity. That’s why I knew my Dior slingbacks were the perfect heels for the look! Paired with my Topshop baker boy hat, I was ready to go!

I know that one of the things I always wondered about vinyl pants was whether they squeaked a lot when you moved around, but luckily these were silent enough for me! I’ve linked to a few more pairs that I’ve found online below that I hope will give you some outfit inspiration for the coming months! Plus, if it were to rain, all I have to do is wipe these clean! Now that is weather appropriate, hah!

Will you be trying the vinyl trend?

As you saw on my Instagram, I found this sweater on Amazon Fashion! They actually have the most fabulous collection online and there’s a range of brands to choose from!

This particular sweater is from Warehouse and I just LOVE the colour! It’s so bright and beautiful and I’ve been wearing it on repeat because it’s an easy way to create a super chic outfit that is still relaxed and elegant!

Thank you Amazon Fashion for this sweater!

I’ve been getting some questions about a good daily moisturiser for sensitive acne prone skin. As you guys know, I struggle with acne. (I told you all about the best foundations for sensitive skin here!)

I’ve started using a new daily moisturiser from Philosophy. So far, I couldn’t be happier with the results! My skin feels brighter and I love the texture on my skin! I think the name is so true; it really is hope in a jar!

Monday Brief #14

Monday Ready!

Happy Monday Everyone! I am feeling particularly inspired this week because I spent my Saturday at the Career Girl Academy run by the boss babes at Career Girl Daily! It was such an amazing day full of so much inspiration from all the speakers who came in! I learnt SO much about blogging and I cannot wait to put all my new ideas into action! If you guys are interested, you can actually still buy digital tickets and they will be streaming the whole day for you to watch from home! It’s definitely worth it – I learnt so much from all the amazing talks! (Plus then you can hear me ask my questions too haha!)

This Past Week

Other than my amazing day at Career Girl Daily, I got to do some work on a content creation front for a very cool new make up brush company coming up called Loella! Go check them out here. In case you missed it, I covered the biggest handbag trend of 2017 and how you can wear it right here, and I also shared some of my musings on feminism here!
