This Is Why You Should Invest In This New Classic Pattern…

The Spots You Want To See…

There are certain patterns that never go out of style. Stripes, checks, and the latest addition to that list is leopard print. Season after season, we see it on the runway, we see it at our favourite high street stores and on our favourite street style stars; there is no escaping leopard print. That’s why you should embrace this print! Trust me, I wasn’t 100% on the bandwagon. In fact, when I met my dear friend Sophie from Silk & Strands some months ago, I was convinced that a print like this, on a coat nonetheless, was not going to suit me! But, what do I always say? It’s all about taking risks and being a little fearless when it comes to your style! I’ve always loved the print, so why not give it a shot!

When I found this jacket from By Malene Birger, I knew I had found the perfect piece to ease me into this pattern. After this, I’ve been all about investing in leopard prints more! From skirts to tops to coats, it’s a pattern I think we should all have in our wardrobes. If you are like me and are initially hesitant about a pattern as bold as this, I have some tips for how to style that leopard print coat, skirt or top you’ve been wanting so badly.

Firstly, be mindful of the other colours you are pairing your leopard with. I would avoid anything too bright and stick to neutral or jewel tones like beiges, blacks, whites or even maroons! The more neutral the colours, the more likely your outfit will stand out in the right way! Secondly, be aware of textures as well. Try to keep other textures to a minimum as I have done here. Other than my leather boots, I really let the jacket do most of the work. Lastly, be confident! The easiest way to pull of a star print like this is to wear it with confidence. Trust me, no one will doubt it, and you can totally rock it!

I’ve linked to some of my favourite leopards print pieces that are available right now. I’ve picked these because I love how luxe they look and would be super easy to style!

Friday Favourites #2

Thank God It’s

I’m back with another set of Friday favourites! I was so happy with the amazing feedback you guys had about the last one! This week, I have to share my favourite jeans ever with you guys, the most amazing cookie recipe and so much more! Let’s get started shall we?

Okay I’ve raved about these jeans all over my Instagram stories. I’ve never been one for “mom jeans” but after I tried on this pair from Topshop, I’ve been converted.

I love them so much that I’ve actually just been wearing them almost everyday this week! Highly recommended, especially if you’re petite like me! I’ve linked to the regular sizes below, but just search for the same name with Petite in front on the Topshop website if you need smaller sizes!

I love stationary, everyone knows that. What I love even more, is when my stationary is beautiful but also amazingly organised.

The Career Girl Daily Planner literally plans out everything, from how much exercise you need that day, to what you are eating, to what you need to do! Literally making me get my 2018 in order!

It’s a great way of keeping track of your goals and resolutions too 😉

Get it here

Can’t stop humming this when I walk to the gym! Gets me pumped up to get working!

What song are you loving right now? What do you think of this one?

So, as you’ve seen on my Instagram stories, I’m all about getting back into shape again! I recently got this sports bra with the matching bottoms from Sweaty Betty.

Literally cannot wait to go spinning in this! Isn’t it adorable? I always find that cute workout gear makes me so much more excited to work out! What about you?

Get it here

With all the travelling I’ve been doing, and with LFW coming up soon, I think it’s so important to take some time out and relax.

I love this bath oil because it gives me that little extra dose of luxury when I’m in the shower. It makes me feel so relaxed and ready to wind down! Highly recommend it!

How To Upgrade Your Bomber Jacket In 2018

The Bomber Jacket is Getting a 2018 Upgrade…

The bomber jacket is a piece that every girl should have in her capsule wardrobe. Time after time, season after season, this one jacket is the key to off-duty style. Since it’s one of my favourites, I happen to have many variations, but today is all about being sporty chic with this particular side stripe bomber jacket. What I love about this piece is that although it has an athleisure vibe to it, it’s so easy to dress it up or down and add some feminine touches. For me, that came in the form of colour. I always find that adding a sense of “chic” to each outfit, elevates any look. That was the idea with this bomber jacket outfit; I went for a totally monochrome pink look! Plus, you guys know that I always love a good pink outfit, like this one here!

Not only did I match the pink of my jacket with the pink in my skirt, I made sure that the sweater underneath was coordinated with the stripes on my bomber jacket. It’s attention to detail that can really make an outfit go from good to great! To really make this outfit street style worthy (while remaining weather appropriate!) I swapped my sneakers for some thigh high boots! That’s how you bring the bomber jacket into 2018!

I’ve never been one for a totally athleisure outfit, that’s why I like to add little bits and pieces that make the trend more me. In this case, it’s colours, but it’s also dainty accessories. These Astrid & Miyu earrings are the perfect everyday piece for any occasion. I love the unique geometric shape! Of course, there is no ignoring my Gucci bee bag! Fun fact: I’m petrified of bees and wasps but somehow I always have accessories that incorporate them!

The Coolest New Colour Combination To Help You Stand Out in 2018…

A Street Style Star Proof Outfit…

A lot of us sometimes feel as though we need many stand out pieces to create that stunning outfit. Others feel as though you can only achieve that stand out look with designer pieces. The reality of the situation is that it’s much easier to create that stand out look. All you need to do is reach for colour, and I’m talking about more than one! It’s all about creating the perfect colour combination and today I’m sharing the number one colour combination to make you look like a street style star; blue and green.

What I love about this combination is that it makes such a fashion-forward statement without you having to try very hard. That’s what I love about styling, creating combinations that are easy going, but super fashionable! My outfit is mainly high street as well and the silhouette is so comfortable that I could wear this on the weekend, or on a day of meetings too! I picked up this oversized knit from & Other Stories recently and it’s one of the most fun pieces to style! The blue is so flattering and is sure to suit everyone! I paired it with my favourite green khaki trousers from Topshop, but I wasn’t done there! I couldn’t’ resist adding in my trusty beret, this time in a green too! I told you guys I had them in every colour!

By adding in some accessories, like these beautiful gold hoops from Misho, I was able to really elevate the look. What I love about this colour combination is that you don’t have to put in a lot of effort to look incredibly stylish. I was able to create a standout look with a few basic pieces! If wearing this combination head to toe like I did here is a bit too bold for you, you can even try something like blue jeans, a white sweater and green accessories! (Think scarves, bags, boots even!) Either way, this is one colour combination that will make you feel like the most fashionable girl in the room!

How are you styling blue and green together? Is this something you’ve tried before?

Friday Favourites #1

Thank God It’s

Here we have it! The first official Friday Favourites! A lot of you have been asking me to start this series to share not only all things fashion that I am loving right now but also just what is inspiring me, what I’m loving, and what’s made my week a little better!

I want to take this one step further. I want to hear what’s inspiring you too! Do you like the five things I’ve shared? Are you excited about something too? I want this to be a space where we can chat and inspire each other! So, shall we get things started?

I feel like in an age of Instagram, it is so easy to compare your life to others. Remember you are exactly where you need to be.

This image was taken from my Pinterest board, which you can follow here!

Is this quote inspiring you? What words do you live by?

You guys were loving this sweater on my Instagram this week! I actually spotted it online when I went to see the new pre-summer collection from Sandro!

I love statement sweaters. I’ve actually had a thing for statement text since I was a kid, so when I saw this one, I knew I had to have it! Who can resist the positive vibes!

Get it here

Literally. Playing. This. On. Repeat.

What song are you loving right now? What do you think of this one?

I just got this for my desk and I am obsessed! I actually love organising things so having a pretty workspace is so important!

It’s super obvious that I am obsessed with the tortoise shell effect, so when I saw this desk organiser from Kate Spade, I knew it was just what I needed!

Would this go on your desk?

If you’ve been following on Instagram, you know I’ve been travelling! I never go anywhere without my silk eye mask. Silk is so good for your skin and for your hair too, and I like to have this, especially for the flight!

Plus, it’s such a gorgeous colour and it’s like a little luxury that makes any travel so much nicer!

How To Look Stylish and Stay Warm This Winter

You Can Stay Stylish and Stay Warm, You Can Have It All…

When the temperature has dropped so low that going outside seems like a nightmare, and the wind makes your ears hurt, you know that you are in the middle of winter. One of the questions I’ve been asked frequently by all of you is, how to look stylish and stay warm when it’s freezing cold outside. Today, I’m going to answer this burning question! I want to show you that you can stay warm and cosy and still look super fashionable; that you really can have it all! There are three key things that will always guarantee comfort and style for your winter looks.

Firstly, it’s all about the coat. Your coat is your best friend when temperatures are sub-zero. It’s the piece that everyone is going to see first and it will dictate first impressions, no matter what you may be wearing underneath. That is why it’s so important to build your coat collection! Don’t be afraid to go for statement pieces that really let your personal style shine through. This could be in terms of texture (think vinyl, shearling or puffer jackets), style (an aviator style is always a quick way to make a statement or a warm tailored coat for a model-off-duty vibe!) or colour! I’ve clearly gone done the colour route and I’m letting my red coat do all the talking! On that note, I know that red can seem like an intimidating colour but when styled right, with classic silhouettes, you can’t go wrong!

Secondly, it’s all about layering. I mean the layers that you can’t see. I can’t do without my Uniqlo heat tech that I wear underneath all my sweaters! It’s those hidden layers that provide extra warmth while letting you look as chic as ever! Thirdly, accessorise! You could be wearing a simple sweater and jeans like I am here, but with the right accessories, you can elevate your look in an instant! I love to play around with my jewellery, especially with large statement earrings that can make a winter outfit so much stylish.

So how will you be staying warm this winter? Do you follow any of these tips?
