The Coziest Winter Dress You’ll Be Wearing all Season Long

I had no idea that this was a dress when I picked it up…

Autumn is officially here but with Christmas around the corner (don’t tell me you haven’t noticed the lights and decorations everywhere!) winter isn’t very far behind. One of my favorite purchases this season came in the form of a dress that I initially thought was a coat! What I love in a winter outfit is something that is chic and unique and this dress is both those things! I initially picked it up because I loved the colors and thought it was a fabulous jacket. When I tried it on (always try everything on! Have you seen my latest vlog with all my shopping tips?) I realized it was actually a fabulous, and very warm, winter dress!

I wanted to let this amazing piece speak for itself, so I paired it with my amazing velvet boots and my favorite Sunday Somewhere sunglasses! These boots are a purchase that I made last year but I’m still as in love with them as ever! These are Miu Miu but I found some super similar ones here! I loved the retro feel that all the accessories brought to the outfit (I mean, how old school Italy are my sunglasses?) and together, it created the perfect winter outfit for any occasion! Another winter dress to add to the collection!

This is another one of my outfits that took me all of 5 minutes to put together. It’s looks like these, that are easy and look amazing, that are always great to have on hand! Especially because it works for so many different occasions and will never fail you if you’re running late!

What do you think? Would you wear this?

Why You Need A Leather Skirt To Look Perfect This Winter

The Piece Every Capsule Winter Wardrobe Needs…

There is no denying that winter is setting in here in London and our favorite winter boots and coats are starting to emerge. What I love about this time of year are all the textures we get to play with, from chunky knits to tweed and of course, leather. There are certain pieces that every capsule wardrobe needs and the leather skirt are one of them. The perfect piece to create many winter outfits, a leather skirt can literally be worn with anything, and in so many different ways. If you’ve been reading TSS for a while now, you know that I love to get as much wear out of my pieces as possible. The more versatile the piece the better! If you’re in Europe like me, it’s probably time to start layering the tights underneath, but for all my American readers, you still have some time to show some leg!

A leather skirt doesn’t need to break the bank. The one I’m wearing in this outfit is a faux leather skirt from Zara. I love that the texture is quite soft, something that I’ve been seeing in all the latest magazines too! I’ve seen some gorgeous ones like this one from Topshop, and this one from ASOS – both super affordable! The best part about a skirt like this is that you can wear it with your favorite chunky cable knit for a casual everyday look, or you can dress it up with a blouse for a night out! The winter outfit inspiration from this one piece is endless.

I chose to go for a classic look with my skirt. I paired it with a white sweater and a cropped black blazer. A super classic combination that you can’t go wrong with! I added in my riding boots because I loved how it added to the classic vibe of my outfit! These have to be my favorite boots – I’ve had them for 5 years, long before I started blogging – and I still wear them every single year. Now that’s a good purchase, right?

How would you wear your leather skirt? Do you have one you love?

What to Wear When You Have Nothing To Wear this Autumn

Happy First Week of Spring!

How many times have you stared into your closet, which is full of clothes, and thought “I have nothing to wear..” It’s more than likely that you need to be out the door in 5 minutes or less and you are totally blanking on a good outfit idea. For moments like these, I have the perfect outfit formula that is sure to provide some style inspiration, as well as help you create that perfect look when you feel like you have nothing to wear! Not only that, it’s the perfect look to fall back upon when you’re wondering what to wear and you’re in a rush. A stylish look that’s simple and I guarantee you will all be able to recreate the look and get multiple compliments on it! Since a lot of us feel like this on a regular, I’ve decided to make this a little series that I revisit. For the first installment, we are looking at what to wear when you have nothing to wear, in the fall.

The outfit formula is simple; Turtleneck + Patterned Skirt (Plaid/Houndstooth/Heritage Printed) + Boots + Accessory.

How easy is that? I grabbed a white turtleneck that is a little chunkier in its fit. I love the feel of a slightly oversized sweater. I paired it with a black and white plaid skirt. You literally can never go wrong with monochrome! To finish the look I grabbed my comfiest boots from Seven Boot Lane. I love that they have a slightly blue tint, so I accessorized with one of my favorite hats of the moment; the baker boy hat. Add a bag and I was ready to go!

Believe it or not, I really did pull this look together in under 5 minutes and I’ve actually worn it on repeat! It has never failed me and it will never fail you! Although I went for black and white, don’t be afraid to play around with some colors! Fall tones like mustard, terracotta, deep red and navy blue all can add that little bit extra to your look!

The Coolest Way To Elevate Your Jeans & Sweater Outfit

Jeans & a sweater don’t have to be boring, they can be super chic…

As the weather gets colder, our heads are filled with wonderful layering outfit ideas, aren’t they? But when it really comes down to it and we have 5 minutes to get dressed, we reach for our trusty favorites. For most of us, our favorite pair of jeans and a sweater usually do the trick. After a while, this combination starts to feel a little old and stale. No problem though, because today I’m sharing how you can take your trusty jeans outfit and elevate it!

I find that the easiest way to elevate my jeans and sweater outfit for fall and winter is by choosing a different pair of jeans. I paired my no-fail white sweater with this gorgeous pair of denim trousers from Joe’s Jeans. Not only does the tailored fit instantly elevate my entire look, the pattern on it makes the whole combination feel so fresh. It’s a super easy way to get that street-style star look in under 5 minutes.

If you’re petite like me it can be really important to keep in mind what you pair with a pair of jeans like these. I really wanted the tailoring of the jeans and the pattern to stand out, so I paired it with a very plain top to keep the look casual yet chic. Plus, I needed to add some height to my silhouette so I went with some little black boots to pull the look together. Much like a little black dress, little black boots are a total necessity for your look! If I wanted to make this look a bit more formal, I would add a blazer. To take this look from desk to drinks, I would just keep it as it is and throw on a great red lip! What do you think?

How To Take Your Favourite Work Blazer Out For The Weekend

Firstly, happy almost weekend! It’s been a bit of a long week as I recover from the festivities of the weekend. It felt even longer since I started the 30 Day Sugar Challenge but it’s almost Friday and I am so ready! Most of my closest friends work in offices during the week. So when the weekend finally arrives, they can’t wait to shed their week wear and hop into their weekend outfits. That means, that the blazer is tossed to the side. Now here’s the thing. I love a good black blazer. It’s chic, it’s refined, it looks amazing, what’s not to love about it? Don’t let your work week take away from one of the key pieces in your closet! It’s time to make the most of your wardrobe!

Today I want to inspire you to wear that black blazer over the weekend and still make it look and feel casual and cool! I’ve put together the perfect weekend outfit with my favorite black blazer – Your blazer just got a casual upgrade!The key to wearing a blazer on the weekend and achieving that street style esque look is balance.

This Is How You Can Wear Your White Shirt Dress In The Autumn

This Is Going To Be Your Go-To White Shirt Dress Outfit for Autumn and Winter Too…

One of the basics that every girl needs in her capsule wardrobe is a white shirt dress. You might think that the white shirt dress is something you can only pull out in warmer weather, but it’s actually a piece you can wear all year round! A shirt dress makes for the perfect summer to autumn transitional outfit, and I’ve found the cutest way to style it! Since we are officially entering layering season (and will be here all the way until March next year! Insert shock face emoji) the key to wearing this piece is, of course, layering. White is such an easy color to work with because it literally matches with everything and anything. I wanted to stick to the neutral palette by layering a gorgeous tan sweater over. Not only is it practical as it keeps you warm, but it’s also incredibly chic!

Sticking to neutrals, I opted for some black accessories. These Chloe boots are the same ones I’ve been wearing on repeat for the past two months. I have no intention of putting them away anytime soon! To really finish the look I added in a black beret. I love that it immediately transforms the outfit, making it so much more Parisian chic!

I’ve been away this past weekend at one of my closest friends weddings (Did you catch it all on my Instagram?). As it was an Indian wedding, I found myself in stilettos and incredibly heavy outfits for a majority of the time so this was the perfect outfit to slip into! Comfortable yet chic – you really can have it all! If you wanted to add some color, I would layer a different sweater over the dress; maybe a beautiful orange or red! What do you think? Would you wear it?

How To Wear An All Red Look in Autumn

Editors Note: See how I styled this same skirt for London Fashion Week here or how I styled it with 3 Autumn Must -Haves here.

This Is How You Create The Perfect Red Outfit For Fall…

Red happens to be one of my favorite colors and it also happens to be this season’s hottest shade to wear. Not only is it all about incorporating accents into your look, it’s about creating a top to toe red outfit! If you’re wondering how to wear monochrome, let alone how to wear red in the fall, I’ve got you covered with this outfit idea and a few tips to help you along the way. Trust me, you’re one step away from a street style look!

Pair With Subtle Colours. I think the best way to make a red outfit work for every day, is to incorporate some more subtle shades into your look. Since red is such a bold color, it helps to tone down the look by throwing in some beige and white. I threw over a light beige knit to make my outfit more wearable. My white shoes also broke up the white look and complimented by knit!

Mix & Match Shades. A monochrome look doesn’t mean it all has to be one shade! Try and mix and match different shades of red to create an interesting outfit combination! Try and work with shades that are brighter and lighter and see how you can put them together! For example, I would love to incorporate some burgundy into this look!

Be Confident. Last but not least, be confident! Wearing top to toe of any color can be quite intimidating. The key to pulling off a monochrome outfit is just being confident and carrying yourself with your head held high! Remember, confidence can make or break an outfit especially if you’re going for such a bold shade! I am sure that any monochrome look you wear is going to look great!

Why Your White Shorts Are The Perfect Autumn Transitional Piece

The Perfect Transitional Outfit Idea for You…

My favorite part about transitioning my wardrobe for the colder months is how creative you can be with your clothes! Many of us are quick to stow away summer pieces like our denim minis and white shorts, but they are actually the perfect transitional outfit pieces! I have never believed in rules in fashion – breaking the rules is a part of expressing yourself through style. That’s why I have always worn white, all year round! With white also being a key trend for Autumn/Winter 2017, you have every reason to keep your white shorts at the front of your closet!

The key to creating the perfect transitional outfit is pairing! With white denim shorts that are usually perfect for the summer, I would recommend something chunky and cozy to create the perfect contrast. That’s why I opted for one of my favorite chunky sweaters. You can wear any color with white, but neutrals like beige and cream work beautifully.

What really makes looks like these specials are the right accessories. To really elevate white shorts, I opted for my Seven Boot Lane boots. By adding a structured fedora like the one I have on, the entire look is more refined. You could also opt for a beret or baker boy! We all know how much I love those right now! A touch of color with my vermillion bag and I am ready for anything! This is actually an outfit that I have taken from a meeting to coffee, to drinks with friends! Who knew that your white summer shorts could be so versatile in the autumn? Would you wear this outfit?
