I’m not sure if you’ve heard the news but the royal baby has arrived and I felt like there was no better time than now to share an outfit with a bit of a royal touch; the classic tweed jacket. (Does anyone have any ideas on what his name will be?) When it comes to the classic pieces, there are a few that every woman strives to add to her wardrobe in her lifetime. From the ultimate black bag to the perfect kitten heels to, of course, the infamous tweed jacket. I’m all about taking these classic luxe pieces and styling them for a cute and casual summer outfit. Today I’m tackling the most classic of them all.

Now, although most of us lust after the Chanel tweed jackets (literally the mother of all jackets!!), we can’t always spare the £££ to get one. Luckily for you, there’s a new brand around that’s here to get you that Chanel girl look without the price tag. I was recently introduced to brand Kezmay London and fell in love with their tweed pieces. The brand sources its material from the same factory that provides Chanel with all the tweed for its jackets as well. Everything is handmade and created with love in London and if you were looking for something even more special, they do custom fittings and custom design sessions. Pretty cool right?

The key to styling a tweed jacket while still maintaining cool girl status is to use it to elevate your favourite everyday basics. For a summer look that screams chic while still staying trendy, I paired this pink tweed jacket with a white shirt dress. I wanted to let the jacket really shine through so I paired it with this matching Kezmay tweed headband (HOW IN TREND?) and my Prada kitten heels (similar listed below). You could also try pairing a jacket like this with a t-shirt and your favourite summer mini skirt. I would make sure though that the only pattern in the outfit is the tweed and I would keep the rest of the look minimal. I’ve linked to some high street versions of the tweed jacket below as well, ready for you to shop!

So, are you ready to live your Chanel girl dreams? Let me know how you would wear a tweed jacket! PS: You can check out Kezmay London’s Instagram here. DM them for orders!

As much as I am a London girl at heart, I cannot deny that I always strive to dress like a Parisian. There is something about Paris street style that just oozes a level of cool and effortless. In many ways, it is exactly what I mean when I describe my style as “laid-back luxury”. After analysing all the street style photos from Paris Fashion Week I felt so inspired to take my Parisian style onto the streets of London and share with you a few tips on how to dress Parisian when you aren’t in Paris, with my latest spring outfit.

Of course, when a lot of girls think Paris, they think a chic blazer, cool jeans, block heels and a t-shirt. As much as that is my go to combination for a normal day, I wanted to channel the girlier styles that we see coming out of our favourite French city. Parisian women ooze confidence in everything they wear, and they always have something about their outfit that is a little extra special; it’s about that attention to detail. I brought that into my outfit with my favourite pink backless jumper. I love anything with a back detail and so does a Parisian!

French women also pay attention to their accessories and in this case, I paid special attention to my shoes. You will remember these kitten heels that I bought last year around my birthday and they are still one of my favourite pairs. I love that you can change the strap to suit any outfit. Of course, I had to add in a headband as well!

Lastly, Parisian women are no fuss femininity. Their outfits are not over thought out or overdone, they just go together. This outfit just went together for me. I felt comfortable and confident in my high waisted trousers and I think that showed in the confidence I felt while I was wearing this look!

As fashion week, or rather fashion month, comes to a close, there is no denying that one of autumn winters biggest trends was all over the street style scene; animal prints. With leopard print having made a huge comeback for the season, I scoured the street style scene for the small styling tips and tricks to make any outfit that much more chic. Over the last month I’ve noticed three little details that can make styling your leopard print top, or any animal print top for that matter, that much more elegant. What I especially love about these tips is that they also make your outfit look much more expensive!

Tip #1: Hair Accessories are Welcome
Having a bad hair day? Spice up your low bun with a hairband! It’s a beautiful way to add that extra special touch to your autumn outfit. Sometimes with leopard print, we risk the outfit looking like everyone else, but a small touch like this can really set your look apart.

Tip #2: Match Your Nails To Your Look
I once read that a fashion insider always looked at a person’s nails when she was meeting them for the first time. Needless to say, a good manicure can lead to a good impression but in this case, a matched manicure can lead to an even better one. Backstage at fashion week, nude nails were all the rage! It’s a great way to make your outfit seem more put together without having tried too hard, Of course, you can’t always match your manicure to your outfit, but opt for a wonderful neutral beige like this Essie shade I’m wearing and you’ll see that your nails always match.

Tip #3: Your Lipstick Is Your Final Accessory
Bold bright fall makeup is a trend that I am welcoming with open arms, especially when it includes a bright lipstick! I added a pop of red to my outfit with my Chanel bag, but the real finishing touch that the street style stars all know is that your lipstick has got to match too! It’s such a thoughtful detail that instantly makes your outfit look much more luxe. I matched my lipstick with this Tom Ford shade which is an autumn must have for sure!

So three tips that are actually incredibly easy to work into any of your outfits without much investment! That’s the best, isn’t it? What do you think of these tips? Comment below with your thoughts!
