With the arrival of spring, I’ve noticed that everyone is pulling out their favourite pastels and floral pieces. For a lot of us that means finally adding white back into our wardrobe (although I am a huge fan of winter whites and neutrals!) One of the questions you guys have been asking me is how to wear white in the spring, in a fresh new way? If you’re looking for something different than the usual white top white jeans outfit, then this is the perfect cute spring outfit for you!

I love the idea of wearing all white, but I think it’s important to break it up with accessories and contrasts. For my look, I layered a white blazer on top of a pastel t shirt. To really make the look more elegant, I put my Dior D waist belt over. This is an easy way to make your blazer outfit look more stylish. I then chose to wear my favourite pleated white skirt. I love the dramatic effect the outfit has when I add in this skirt, especially when I’m walking (or spinning in my case!) If you wanted to dress this look down, you could swap the skirt for a shorter white mini, white jeans or even white denim shorts! The options are endless!

The key thing to remember when wearing white this spring is to try and add in pops of colour, even if that means a black belt and brown sunglasses. This just makes your outfit stand out more, in the best way possible!

We’ve come to that point in the year (already!) where spring is at our fingertips and street style from new york fashion week and soon London is already teasing us with the best spring summer 2019 fashion trends. One of the best trends to rule all our favourite spring outfits for 2019 is none other than beige. Although you might think of beige as being boring, all-neutral outfits are set to be a favourite amongst the ultra fashionable. Not only because it’s an incredibly easy colour to wear and match, but also because it’s classic. The best part? You can always add your own twist to your beige aesthetic to make it trendier. So how do you wear beige without looking boring?

Here are my three tips to make beige a bit more exciting:

1.Mix shades
Beige doesn’t have to be all one shade. I mixed in a bit of chocolate brown with my turtleneck and an almost ecru shade with my cream knee high boots. The different shades of beige add in a new dimension to the look.

2. Play with accessories
I wanted to give my otherwise classic look a bit of a twist. I removed the belt off my skirt and tied it over my oversized cardigan. I then added in a cowboy hat for a modern update! Accessories have a great way of changing an outfit and updating an otherwise classic look.

3. Beige is for everyone
A lot of brown girls I know are afraid of wearing beige because they feel it almost blends in with their skin tone. Beige looks great on everyone, which is why it’s such a classic and versatile colour. If you’re not ready to go monochrome with it just yet, try pairing it in with black or white, You’ll be hooked onto this classic shade in no time. Another great pairing is beige and gold!

If you live in a warm country and are already embracing spring, you can recreate this outfit with a beige t-shirt and high waisted skirt. Complete your outfit with a beige cowboy hat like mine and add in some boho accessories like layered necklaces, or even a chain for your sunglasses like I did here.

So, are you embracing the new neutral this year? I almost wish I saved this look for LFW but I’m so excited to share it with you guys already!

What a lot of you tend to forget, is that not only am I a fashion blogger, but I am a petite fashion blogger. When most of you meet me for the first time, the one statement I always hear is “Wow, I thought you would be so much taller”. There is no escaping the fact that I am a mere 5’1 but being petite, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve to help you look taller in your next winter outfit.

1. Pointed Toes Are The Best Option
Although you might see a lot of square fronts or round fronted shoes, pointed shoes are your best friend. They give the illusion of more height. This trick works not just for your favourite heeled boots, like my over the knee suede boots that I’m wearing here, but also for flats! It’s a great way to make yourself look taller while still wearing flats.

2. Show off your waist
I cannot stress this point enough. If you remember my post on layering as a petite girl, you’ll know this trick already! Highlighting your waist makes you look taller as it gives the illusion of longer legs. It also helps your clothes to fit better. You don’t want to look like you’re swimming in your clothes! I did that here with my new Dior belt.

3. Tie Your Hair!
This is actually one of the easiest ways to look taller this winter. Keeping your hair off your face isn’t just good for your skin but it gives you some heigh too! Apart from the obvious height, you gain with your ponytail, by letting your face shine clearly, you appear taller too!

Of course, it also helps to show a little bit of skin. I did that her with this black slit skirt. A great way to recreate this look for when it really starts to get cold would be to wear opaque tights underneath!
