fall outfits | The Silk Sneaker

When it isn’t hot at all, but it isn’t freezing either.

Not sure if it’s all the Harry Potter I’ve been watching (Sky, why do you keep taking away the Harry Potter channel? Can it just be a permanent fixture?) in the lead up to Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, or just all the runway looks I’m subconsciously thinking about, but either way the cape (poncho, blanket, whatever you want to call it) is having a real moment this autumn and since the weather isn’t hot but it definitely isn’t freezing – Winter is yet to come – the blanket cape is about to become your new best friend.

The lack of structure involved with a blanket cape is not usually something I tend to mess around with, but The Silk Sneaker is all about trying new styles and being fearless with style while inspiring you to do the same. I really embraced the flows of the cape , which allows for a lot of versatility in the way you wear it. I opted to wear it with a layered sweater and a skirt with a gorgeous lace hem – It’s nice to have something interesting peeking out from under the cape!

Since the cape itself is quite large, I wanted to make sure to add some definition to my silhouette with my thigh high Stuart Weizman boots. This ensured I didn’t seem lost under all the layers! The blanket cape is perfect for the day time when you find yourself sweating in your regular winter coat. If the weather get’s a bit chilly, I find it’s easiest to just throw on a scarf for extra warmth!

In other news, I finally am recovered from the flu and then the ear infection that followed so finally back on my feet (and on the bike – been spinning lots as you can see through my Instagram stories!) I’ve got a weekend full of birthday celebrations for a few of my friends, so can’t wait to share all of that with you guys as well, as well as an amazing shoot I’m doing tomorrow!

When in doubt, just add some shine to an already classic look.

Just because it’s autumn, it doesn’t mean you have to hide your legs, I mean what else are over the knee boots for? With some solid layering, whether it be layered tops or sweaters like mine, your favourite skirt is about to get a cold weather upgrade. With the last days of October upon us (who’s ready for halloween? I know I’m not… there is some serious DIY happening for my costume) I can’t help but be more and more inclined to the shiny and the sparkly. When I saw this metallic skirt I couldn’t resist. Metallic leather adds such an amazing touch to an everyday look, it’s such an easy way to step up your outfit. If worn right, metallic can also be such an easy way to upgrade a very classic look.

With the US Elections coming up, and winter making it’s way into our bones and souls (winter is coming, but GOT will not grace our screens till… June?!?!) November is going to be one hell of a month. It seems like everyday we get a new set of “facts” that seem to throw another curveball into the whole discussion, the grand finale is sure to leave us either incredibly relieved or incredibly worried. As the cold sets in here in London and we start preparing for the holiday season and the stress of end of the year work, I love being able to combat that through just feeling and looking good. This metallic skirt does that for me, it makes me feel confident yet classic, and is the perfect way to add some shine to any type of gloomy day. When you feel confident on the inside, you’re going to feel confident on the outside, and then nothing can stop you.
