Why You Need To Add This Leopard Print Piece To Your Summer Wardrobe Now

Leopard Print Is the New Black…

If there was a star piece for your summer wardrobe, the mini skirt would be it. There’s no better time to get your favourite mini skirts out then when the sun is shining down on us! Although we usually always reach for the trusted blue denim mini skirt, let’s mix things up and get a little wild this summer with another classic, yet funky print. That’s right, I’m talking about leopard print; the way to creating the perfect summer outfit!

In recent years leopard print has become the new black and it’s a print that’s here and here to stay! If you find leopard print to be intimidating, a great way to introduce it into your wardrobe is with this leopard print skirt. This mini from Topshop is the perfect type of print because it’s subtle yet makes enough of a statement for your outfit to stand out in the best way.

The best way to style leopard is to keep the rest of your outfit as elegant and neutral as possible. I paired my mini skirt with this gorgeous white top from Tibi. I love the open back with the button details; it’s so elegant and fun! I also completed the look with my favourite Prada kitten heels. These are actually the same heels I was wearing in this post here except I changed the striped ribbon for a black one! I love when you can get so much wear out of one luxury piece; makes for a great investment don’t you think?

I finished this summer outfit off with my Jadior bag. All my nearest and dearest actually make fun of me about how much I carry this bag but I actually think it’s the sign of a great luxury investment. When you know you’re going to love a bag for that long, season after season, it’s worth your buck! I actually wrote a post about investing in luxury bags here! Should I do more posts about luxury items like that?

How To Style The Two Most Popular Pieces on The High Street for A Cute Summer Outfit…

Combining the best of the high street for the best summer outfit…

Every season, there are some high street pieces that start to blow up on our Instagrams and this season it’s all about this beautiful summer blouse from Zara and the perfect button down maxi skirt from Topshop. The great thing about these two pieces is that not only are they both well under £100, they can be styled together! I wanted to share with you how I styled the two most popular high street pieces for the season, into one very chic summer outfit.

This white Zara top is completely on trend for this summer with its puffy sleeves and shell button details. Since a top like this is quite voluminous on the top half of your body, you want something a bit straighter cut for the bottom. Enter the cutest maxi skirt ever! I love the mustard stripes on this maxi and the asymmetrical hem! This striped skirt is so popular that Topshop has actually made a few colour variations of it, and a super similar version has popped up on ASOS too. Is this the skirt style of the summer? I think so!

The key to really making a high street outfit yours is accessories. I wanted to add some definition to my waist so I added in this vintage gold chain belt This is a great way to wear a maxi skirt without looking too short, especially if you are petite like me. I also wanted to make this look a little more chic and elegant so I opted for my vintage Chanel slingback heels and these beautiful earrings that I found at Fenwicks in London. I love how the colours matched together so perfectly!

The Three Apps I Use To Create My Instagram Stories

Let’s Create Those Beautiful Instagram Stories…

I think I get a DM almost every day on my Instagram asking me how I create my Instagram stories, what apps I use to create them, do I use a template for Instagram stories, and so on and so forth. That’s why I’ve decided it’s time to spill my secrets of the trade and share with you the three must-have apps to create beautiful Instagram stories. Don’t forget to tag @thesilksneaker or #inspiredbyTSS if you use these apps to create some super artsy stories, so that I can see them and share your work too! Now, keep in mind, that when I create my Instagram stories, no one app makes them look the way they do. I put a lot of time, effort and creativity into the work I put out for you guys, however, these three apps allow me to translate my ideas into reality for Instagram! Now let’s get cracking, or should I say, snapping!

Over

Over is like an easy photoshop for your phone. It allows you to layer images with shapes and text. It has a wide variety of fonts to choose from, as well as other features including stickers, fun backgrounds and more. I mainly use this app to create the white frames in my images and to sometimes add in text in specific fonts that Instagram stories does not offer.

Get Over Here

Video Leap

You guys have been loving the way I have moving images layered with still images in my Instagram stories and the way I am able to layer photos and videos on my phone is using Video Leap. Video Leap works like a film editing software that you would have on your computer, except on your phone! It’s a great way to create fun little videos!

Get Video Leap Here

After Light

Afterlight is a photo editing app that allows you to also add polaroid frames to your photos. It’s how I’ve been adding all the polaroid frames to my images for my Instagram stories. It also has other fun effects like the light leaks, where you can add different light flares in different colours to your images. There are two versions of it, Afterlight and Afterlight 2. Afterlight 2 does not offer the frames so I would go for Afterlight.

I hope this helps you on your Instagram journey and I cannot wait to see all the amazing content you all create. Don’t forget to tag @thesilksneaker or #inspiredbyTSS for a chance to have your creative stories shared by me!

Why You’re Going To Live In This Summer Co-Ord From This Amazing Emerging Designer…

The Dream Co-Ord Set…

There’s nothing cuter than the perfect co-ord set, but finding a co-ord that isn’t hanging in everyone’s closet can be difficult, especially when you’re trying to find the perfect summer outfit that is both casual and cute!. Last week a dear (and very fashionable) friend of mine and I were walking down the street when we spotted another woman, in the exact some co-ord set as my friend. Although we laughed in the moment, I realised that finding that perfect set is not as easy as it looks! That’s why I always like to look to emerging designers, for their fresh pieces and unique style. When I was in India most recently, my mum and I stumbled across an adorable store set in the heart of Mumbai’s Kala Ghoda district; Obataimu.

The super friendly designer was there herself and not only did she walk me through her collection and concept, but I also got to go through to see her beautiful workshop. I immediately fell in love with this amazing Indian brand and their laidback pieces; specifically, a super cute co-ord set I found hanging in her store.

The pyjama style top and pants are made of linen and have a simple black piping. The pieces are all made to order so you are guaranteed a perfect fit and the no-fuss style of them makes each piece in this co-ord easy to match with anything else in your wardrobe as well. You might remember these pants from my Instagram post on my birthday most recently; I wore them with a blue crop top! In case this one isn’t for you, I’ve linked to some of my favourite hughstreet co-ord sets in the widget below!

I found this beautiful waist belt at Zara that I immediately fell in love for because of the chic colour combination and material. It also happened to match perfectly with my set! I kept things chic and classic with my vintage Chanel heels and this mini silk Chanel bag. For a burst of colour, I added in these Cult Gaia sea glass hoops.

Just a quick note about these hoops; Although Cult Gaia is mainly known for their bags, they also happen to make beautiful jewellery and clothes. This is a great investment if you’re looking for cool jewellery to invest in that is a little different than the usual go-to’s!

Comment below with whether you would wear this co-ord set! How would you style it?

The High Low Edit: Outfit #3

Today’s outfit is actually more high street than anything! This super summer look was created using three key pieces from Nasty Gal; they all looked so luxe and you could never tell where they are from! I paired this sporty polo, with this adorable skater skirt. I completed the look with a baker boy hat!

To really add that touch of luxury to my look I carried my favourite Jadior Dior bag and wore my Gucci Bee Sneakers.

Remember, accessories are everything! They can make a total high street look seem much more luxe. More than that, when shopping on the high street, opt for pieces that are classic designs! They look much more expensive when you wear them too!

The High Low Edit: Outfit #2

I bought these Topshop trousers a few months ago and they are one of my favourite pairs because they can be dressed up or dressed down. I was wearing them in this office inspired outfit here, and I’m wearing them for today’s Instagram outfit feature. They are a high street piece that look so much more luxe than they are. If these are not available in your size, I have linked to a similar pair from Topshop that are also super chic.

I paired the trousers with an old silky polo from Pinko. I love that it’s a crop top and I’ve tried to find a similar version for you below.

Style Tip: Pair crop tops with high waisted trousers. It looks more elegant as you still show enough skin to elongate your silhouette without looking too out there!

The look is complete with my Louis Vuitton handbag and my Valentino sandals. I picked up these sandals a few years ago and I wear them on repeat when summer arrives! I found a similar pair on ASOS as well if you want to recreate this look!

Monday Update #54

Happy

Happy Monday! It seems like summer has finally arrived and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve had my eye on so many cute summer pieces that I’m so excited to bring out (or add to the wardrobe hehe!) Last week I got to attend the gorgeous Havainas press day; they really brought that Brazilian summer vibe to London! I actually grew up wearing Havainas in India and I still have some of my favourite pairs with me are in London; that includes a pair with pearls all over it! So cute right? It was such a great moment for me to be able to work with a brand that I love so much! Are any of you Havainas lovers?

I also added some adorable new pieces to my closet, two of which I’ve highlighted below! Would love to hear what you think of them!
