How To Pull Off a Monochrome Outfit

A Blue Monochrome Look is Always Stylish…

Although a monochrome outfit seems intimidating, wearing one shade in one look is actually a very easy way to elevate your look. It’s no wonder that it’s a street style favourite! I’m here to show you a monochrome outfit idea with one of the trending colours for the next season, blue. (Think Dior F/W show – every beautiful shade of blue!) There are a few key tricks and tips to keep in mind when wearing a monochrome outfit. Firstly, remember that it doesn’t all have to be the same shade. If you opt for cream, each piece can be a varying shade. In this case, my blues are all different shades but they all come together to create the same chic effect! Secondly, pay attention to the shapes and cuts of your pieces. The trick to wearing and pulling off one colour is making sure that your silhouette is flattering. I love the cut of this blue top but it needed something very fitted at the bottom. Lastly, wear it with confidence! Although monochrome may seem intimidating, once you wear it you instantly look chic! Don’t be afraid to try the look, it’s a tried and tested favourite – just find the right colour for you, even if it’s black, and go for it!

3 Stylish Ways To Wear Gingham Now: Part One

Gingham, your new spring & summer pattern.

Believe it or not, gingham is here to stay. This new favourite pattern for spring and summer has made it’s way far past your picnic table and right into your closet! Now I thought to myself, why share one outfit, when I can show you how to style gingham in three different ways! Introducing, (drum roll please!) my very new three part series, showing you three different takes on how to wear gingham now! To kick it off, I’m starting with one of my favourite looks of the past few weeks, where I styled a brand new pair of gingham pants. The tricky aspect of gingham outfits is being able to make the pattern work for you while maintaining a sense of elegance (after all, we do commonly use this pattern for a picnic…) and my three part series is here to show you how to do just that!

For this outfit, I wanted my gingham chef pants to look and feel elevated, so I decided to add a dash of colour! Although mixing colours and patterns can seem intimidating, when you opt for something subtle and feminine like this baby pink I’m wearing, the colours create a bold yet elegant feel! I love the way the feminine knit with it’s tie up details contrast the pants. Of course, there is no ignoring my brand new Dior bag. It was a birthday present and I am yet to find an outfit that this bag does not match (or make better! It literally makes everything better) I hope this provides you with another dose of fresh April outfit ideas and stay tuned for the next part of my how to style gingham series!

Leather & Layers

It’s all about some creative layering

After my gorgeous trip to Zermatt I was excited to come back to London. Not only was I excited because I was feeling refreshed and inspired, but also because as much as I enjoyed my casual dressing in the mountain, I was excited for the ‘London look’ once again. I admit that autumn and winter are not my favourite seasons of the year but what makes me excited for them is the fact that I can start to pull out all my favourite chunky knits, my leather skirts, my thigh high boots and my favourite coats. It felt only right to layer as well and throw it all in together. Layering is a skill that once mastered can be so much fun to play with. What I love most about this outfit is the skirt. The colour is so unusual and the croc embossing effect on it makes it such a star piece for your wardrobe – easy to match and pair with other statement pieces while making it’s own subtle statement as well. It went perfectly with one of my favourite bags that was a beautiful birthday present to me.
