A little while ago I spent a day with fashion mega house Farfetch, learning all about their new watches and jewellery department and their collaboration with watchmakers Uniform Wares. Of course, for an occasion like this, I needed an outfit to match and I always say, when in doubt, go for an all black outfit. Some of you might think that an all black outfit is boring, or simply not inspiring enough but today I wanted to share with you the number one style trick on how to wear an all black outfit and still look incredible; mix textures.

The key to making any outfit pop is to try and mix in textures and patterns to add different points of interests. In regards to how to style all black, the rules are the same. I opted for a whopping four different textures in one look through my various details. My top, which I actually bought on Farfetch a few months ago, is a mix of knit and sheer. It’s the perfect autumn blouse and also adds an element of pattern with its stripes. My high waisted leather pants were a gift from Farfetch for the event and I love the boldness the vinyl brings to the look. Pro tip: lotion your legs and your pants to stop them from squeaking!

My accessories then complemented my look from my Prada belt bag in soft leather to my Uniform Wares watch with its beautiful suede strap. I actually got to customise my own strap which will be arriving in the next few weeks! All their materials are actually the same materials used by some of the biggest fashion houses in the world, but of course for much less! Now that’s luxury, isn’t it?

This post is not sponsored by Farfetch but thank you to Farfetch for gifting me these trousers.

The Journey To Your Personal Style Starts Here…

Whenever I’m coming up with outfit ideas, whether that be for the spring or summer, I always find that my style inspiration comes from the way I define my personal style. Trust me, finding my personal style was no easy journey but after the warm feedback that I received from you all a few weeks ago when I wrote this article about my own style journey, I thought I would share with you three easy strick tricks so you can find your personal style too!

1. Understand what suits your body type
It’s important to remember that what suits everyone may not suit you! I’m incredibly petite so a lot of the times I find that very oversized pieces or other styles don’t suit me as well as they suit some of my taller friends! The key is to understand what suits you and use that to enhance your style. It’s the first step in finding your personal style!

2. Gather your inspiration!
Last month I wrote a whole post on where I find my style inspiration. Gathering fashion inspiration to create perfect outfits is another step in your style journey. It helps you define what you like and don’t like! For me, I find that movies and magazines are great sources of inspiration. I also gather a lot of inspiration from the designers I love like Christian Dior, Chloé and Isabel Marant. I have a huge book full of every single collection to come out of the House of Dior and I can always find something inspirational in there! If you’re not sure where to start, why not start here.

3. Be Fearless!
Don’t be afraid to try something new and trust your instincts. The whole key to personal style is that it’s something unique to you! Just because someone else hasn’t tried it yet, doesn’t mean you can’t! Don’t be afraid to go bold with your colour combinations or layer unexpectedly.

This is one of my favourite outfits because I think it’s so me. It’s got a touch of feminine with the very dainty ruffle skirt and all my layered jewellery. At the same time, there is a bit of edge with the exposed logo strap (this is Dior but how cute is this high street version? I’ve linked to some more below!), the oversized sweater and the sneakers. It’s the perfect balance that really speaks to my personal style!
