Now that spring has finally arrived, we can start thinking about the perfect spring and summer outfits! As you start to move into your warm-weather wardrobe, a must have is a cropped denim jacket. It doesn’t matter if you prefer yours to be a classic blue denim or a distressed embellished, a denim jacket is the perfect spring companion! Here is how I’m wearing a denim jacket this season…

I love the idea of creating denim on denim outfit, especially with different shades. I paired my Topshop cropped denim jacket with a denim white mini skirt. I love the idea of stripes especially when the weather gets warmer and my Claudie Pierlot sleevless striped top was the perfect piece for this look. I wanted my outfit to look more chic than casual so I added in my Dior saddlebag and my Dior kitten heels for an ultra-luxe look!

I wanted my accessories to be luxurious but still fun. My evil eye sunglasses chain is the perfect way to stay hands-free this summer while still looking fashionable. I also added in my baker boy hat; still a very cool piece to rock! I would love to know how you are styling your favourite denim pieces this summer! If you haven’t gotten your hands on some ultra cool items though, I’ve linked to some of my favourites below including a newer version of the cropped jacket I’m wearing here!

STYLE TIP: Cropped jackets are perfect if you are petite! They won’t overpower your figure.

It’s all about how to wear neon this spring time!

One of the biggest fashion trends of 2019 is neon. Not only is neon big for spring summer, but it’s also carried itself into the fall-winter 2019 shows as well. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Admiring a neon street style outfit is one thing and wearing it is a whole other thing. So here’s the real question, how do you wear neon and still look chic? More like, how do you wear neon on a regular day and not look like a walking traffic cone/highlighter. I have been determined to figure it out and I’m happy to announce I finally have! Here are my three tips on how to wear neon green pink or whatever colour you want a daily basis and still look chic.

1. Avoid stark contrasts like white or black
When wearing neon, you want your entire outfit to fit together and look like it all belongs together. Avoid stark contrasting colours like black or pure white because that will make the neon piece stand out even more, and not necessarily in a good way. That being said, you can wear dark colours like navy blue or light colours like cream like how I wore neon at London fashion week!

2. Colour blocking with neon works
Just because something is neon, doesn’t mean you can’t wear another colour. Something that works super well with neon is denim blue. If you’re wearing neon green, the easiest way to make it work for an everyday spring outfit is to pair it with your favourite blue jeans. Blue and green can be considered as colour blocking and it works super well with making your neon jumper or t-shirt look incredibly chic.

3. Stick to one
The number one rule to follow is that if you’re wearing neon, keep it to one neon piece. Avoid pairing your neon top with neon accessories or clothing. Having one point of focus in your outfit and working your pieces around that make your outfit look classier! For my look, I focused on my neon green jumper and let my other accessories compliment the look like my blue Emma Hyacinth shoes (they look like Manolo’s don’t they? I found them at a store in St. Christophers Place!) and my monogram Louis Vuitton bucket bag.

How are you wearing the neon trend this year?

How To Wear Double Denim Like A Street Style Star…

<br />

Double Denim With a Luxe Touch

Double denim wasn’t just everyone’s favourite outfit combination in the 90’s; it’s still the favourite of street style stars all over. The key to the perfect double denim outfit isn’t just pairing two pieces together. It’s about creating the perfect silhouette to really get that balance between a casual summer outfit, and something incredibly trendy and chic. This is an outfit formula you are going to want in your arsenal this summer, so here’s how to wear double denim like your favourite street style star! Here are some key tips to keep in mind:

1. Keep The Fit of Your Denim In Mind
If you are opting for a double denim look with jeans like mine, make sure you understand the fit of your jeans! If you’re going for skinny bottoms, you might want to contrast this with a baggier top. If you’re going for a straight leg like me, make sure you add some definition to your silhouette with a belt or by pairing it with a crop top I’ve paired my Topshop Straight Leg Jeans with a Topshop Cropped Denim Jacket and a Zara crop top. Showing a little bit of skin helps to make your body look more elongated

2. Don’t Mix & Match Too Many Shades of Denim
Try to keep the shades of denim as close to each other as possible so that the outfit looks put together! You don’t want to see too mismatched; it ruins the effect!

3. Limit The Look To Two Denim Pieces
It can be tempting to go crazy and add in all the denim pieces you have but I would cap the look at two denim pieces and accessorise around that. Add touches of gold or fun statement shoes! What I love about that is that it’s a great summer festival outfit too; especially if you layer on some necklaces!

How To Mix High Fashion & High Street With Double Denim
As you guys know, I’m all about creating the perfect mix of luxury and high street for truly unique outfits! When it comes to denim, you don’t need to have the most expensive pair of jeans to make this outfit look luxe. My jeans are from Topshop and so is my cropped denim jacket! To make the look more luxe, invest in accessories. Here I’ve paired my new Prada kitten heels and my Dior necklace to add that touch of luxury to my look.

Tip: A designer pair of heels can elevate any outfit!

You Can’t Go Through Summer Without Trying This Double Denim Upgrade

Double Denim Gets a Summer Upgrade…

If you think double denim is all jeans and denim shirts, you’ve got it wrong! Double denim is very much a go-to summer outfit for me! It’s all about making it work with the right denim pieces, whether they are embellished or two toned! With the sun finally shining, its the perfect time to go for bare legs and a touch of bare tummy too! By this, I’m obviously referring to a summer staple; the crop top. I’ve long been a crop top girl solely because of how versatile and easy to style they are! When I found a denim crop top on my last trip to Bombay I knew I had to have it. The key to crop tops is balance. If you’re going for short on top, balance it out with long on the bottom! I found this gorgeous denim skirt in Bombay as well and I love how it’s not one, not two, but three different shades of denim! The length makes this outfit more elegant for a summers day as well! Although I found both these amazing pieces in Bombay (Yay for my readers in India!) I’ve linked to super similar pieces below! What do you think?

Crochet & Denim Stars

It’s Finally Time for Denim Shorts!

I’ve clearly got a thing for stars and denim, and here is another embellished denim piece that I couldn’t wait to show you! These star shorts are one of my favourite pairs for summer! I chose to add some colour to this look with another statement piece. Although I usually don’t pair a lot of statement pieces together, I found that they all matched so well! This jacket is another amazing summer item because it’s so light weight and I love the little crochet details! Plus, yellow is having a major moment next to millennial pink! My third and final statement piece for this look came with my brand new Radley bag. The studs on the bag add such a chic and edgy feel to my outfit. It’s also a great way for me to dress up my favourite jeans and tee combo, and that’s exactly what I’ve been doing with this bag so far! It’s also the perfect size, so it fits everything I need and looks so stylish at the same time! Cute right? The beauty with all these items is that they all look amazing separately, yet they all look great together too. I would wear these shorts on repeat with a linen shirt, or even with stripes! The jacket would be fabulous for the city, or for your next festival break and this Radley bag literally matches with anything!

Thank you Radley for collaborating with me on this post. All thoughts and opinions remain my own.

My New Favourite Denim: Joe’s Jeans

Flares, Two-tone, embellished; Joe’s Jeans has it all…

I’ve been teasing an amazing denim post for the past two weeks and here it is! I’m so excited to reveal this beautiful shoot I did styling Joe’s Jeans. There are two things that I find most important when looking for a great pair of jeans. First, the fit. Second, the feel. Being incredibly petite, I struggle with good fit and length for my jeans. Unfortunately, when the fit isn’t right, the feel isn’t either. After all, to look good in denim you’ve got to feel good! Joe’s Jeans were one of the few jeans that I slipped on that ticked both those boxes. The first pair, are an embellished denim pair. I love the lace inserts but I also love the skinny fit that is high waisted! I love anything high waisted (petite girls am I right?) It felt like such a unique pair with the beautiful lace and something that I could dress up or down. I’ve worn these jeans everywhere – from a talk, to out to dinner to lunch! Talk about versatile! The second pair was a new denim experience for me. I don’t usually go for flared jeans, but I love that the flare is mainly towards the bottom of the leg. This way I didn’t feel lost in them, rather I actually felt quite cool! It only felt right to go with the cowboy hat for that look. Admittedly, I shot this right after I saw the Dior Cruise show and was feeling quite inspired! The last pair is another lace denim piece, but the wash and fit are different. These are much more casual but as comfortable. I struggle with boyfriend jeans because they can be a bit too loose fitting, but I loved that these still had such a great fit! I paired them with this distressed Joe’s Jeans sweater that is the cosiest thing in my closet right now!
