When I first heard that Claire Waight Keller was leaving Chloe and heading to Givenchy, I was incredibly curious to see how her creative vision was going to translate into a new brand. We’ve seen how this can go either way (ahem, did someone say new Celine? ahem) but she did not disappoint; Claire Waight Keller’s Givenchy has quickly become one of my favourite brands to love. Of course, it helps tons that the Duchess of Sussex is a huge fan too but am I allowed to say that I loved the brand even before the debut of Meghan’s wedding dress? (I did I swear!) Either way, when Farfetch asked me to style one of my favourite Givenchy pieces to celebrate the brand’s amazing presence on the red carpet for awards season, I was beyond ecstatic. (I’m not a cool fashion person who can keep it cool, when I feel excitement on the inside it shows!)

Farfetch has a fabulous selection of pieces from Givenchy, including some that are on amazing discount (like this skirt!) and others that are brand new. I’m especially loving the selection of statement hoodies and t-shirts (logomania is going nowhere guys). I wanted to keep things simple, elegant and true to the brand (so gotta add some edge!) so I styled my new skirt with a chic turtleneck, and thigh high boots. For that extra layer, I added in a faux fur jacket. I love the beautiful pleat detailing on this skirt that adds a touch of feminine to an otherwise slick look.

How would you style this skirt? Are there any other Givenchy pieces you are loving?

The idea of pulling together a cute outfit on a cold rainy day can be daunting, especially when you want to be warm but stylish. Living in London has taught me that you can still create an effortless outfit, regardless of the weather. In my time, I’ve learned the key to creating a casual winter outfit as well as a few tips and tricks to stay warm in winter while still looking adorable.

A quick note about my look before I get to my must-know tips. My sweater and skirt are & Other Stories. I love both these pieces because they look so luxe! The sweater has an Isabel Marant vibe and the leather skirt is always in style. I completed my look with my Chanel Backpack and these gorgeous hair clips from The Tripletsss. They are three adorable bloggers who have just launched a fab jewellery line.

1.Layer, layer, and add another layer
You may not be able to see the layers I’m wearing in this outfit but I’ve actually got a layer underneath my incredibly chunky sweater. At this time of year, it’s all about the unseen layers and thermals. My Uniqlo heat tech totally saves me, especially in the run up to fashion week!

2.Keep your feet warm
When my feet are cold, I feel colder! I don’t know if that’s just a weird thing that happens to me but I swear that super warm socks and good boots make me feel warmer. I’m currently obsessed with these & Other Stories boots. I’ve been stopped on the street multiple times by people asking where they are from. Needless to say, everyone is shocked (and pleasantly surprised) that they are high street!

3. Invest in good outerwear
Although it isn’t pictured here, I have a selection of coats that I wear (with inners!) that keep me super warm. I always make it a point to invest in good outerwear that will last me for more than just a single winter. I actually did a round up of some of the best coats out there right now (for every budget) if you’re still looking for a good one which you can check out here. If you’re thinking about next season, August is the best time to invest in a new coat.
