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!

When I was in school, the number one reason why I was late was that I couldn’t decide what to wear. Fast forward to university, and that problem continued on. Over time I finally figured out a system that worked well for me and helped me to get ready faster in the morning, while still being happy with the outfit I was in when I walked out the door. So, I know that a lot of you have had the same moment as me when you open your closet in the morning and pretty much hate everything you’re looking at, right? To avoid that mini-meltdown, and save you enough time in the morning, I have three special tips to help you get ready faster. (Also, can we not miss the headband? I am in love with this Prada headband and I feel like it’s relevant because I’ve been rocking a headband since I was 4)

Think About Your Outfit in Advance
Okay, I know this is the most obvious tip of all time and I know that a lot of you don’t like to take your outfit out the night before simply because you’re tired, you don’t have the time, or you want to see how you feel the next day. I don’t think you should be as OCD as me (I think about my outfits a week in advance when I know I have lots of events…) but it does help to have an idea of what you’re going to wear. Think about a look you’d like to put together the night before so that when you wake up in the morning, you know what you’re looking for.

Find Accessories To Fall Back On
What lands up happening is that you sometimes feel like your outfit is too “bland” and you’re tempted to start again. Resist this urge! Instead, organise your accessories so you know which ones work to spice up your outfit. In my outfit, I added in the high socks and the headband to make an otherwise simple spring outfit, look that much more chic.

Know Where To Look
If you think that you have to compromise on style to get ready fast in the morning, I’m here to assure you that you can have your cake and eat it too. Sometimes the best way to figure out what to wear is to look at your inspirations! Check out my Instagram page for all my outfits and what I wear every day, or even have a browse on Pinterest for what others have put together. You’ll probably find an idea in a matter of minutes!

The 3 Accessories You Need To Add To Your Closet Now

ON TREND

<br />

A quick scroll through your Instagram and you’ll realise that there are a few accessories that you’re starting to see everywhere. You might have noticed the rise and return of the headband and that massive Gucci hair clip, or maybe you’ve got your eye on finally investing in that bum bag in your wishlist. It could be that you’ve seen an influx of white shoes ( I mean you cannot ignore the white heeled boots and the white cowboy boots taking over the street style scene). Either way, it’s no secret that there are certain accessories trends for this year and it’s time to get ahead! If I could only add three accessories to my wardrobe to be in fashion for spring summer 2019, this is what they would be.

Remember, I always think accessories are worth the investment. If you choose wisely, your piece can last you forever, no matter if it’s in trend or not (it all comes down to styling really!) I’ve curated this list for you so no matter what you pick, you’ll be making the right choice. The best part? You’ll love it for more than just one season.

HAIR ACCESSORIES

Firstly, it’s no secret that I love a good headband moment. Go for velvet, pearls or whatever else, headbands have made a massive comeback, as have hair accessories in general. Hair clips, like embellished pearl ones or massive logo ones like the Gucci hair clip, are also having their moment in the sun and I imagine it will be a long time before they go. Don’t worry, you don’t have to run to your nearest Gucci store to look elegant. Instead, shop my curated collection below to get the look and still look as luxe as ever.

A quick scroll through your Instagram and you’ll realise that there are a few accessories that you’re starting to see everywhere.

BUM BAGS

In 2018, we saw the rise of the bum bag (or belt bag, whatever you want to call it!) Everyone was after the Gucci belt bag, and this year Dior has released a saddle bag bum bag! Essentially, this style of bag is not going anywhere soon. What’s great about this style is that you can wear it in so many different ways (Keep an eye on my IGTV for more on this). I really adore this one from Montunas, and of course, I love the Dior one. I’ve also linked to some other fabulous versions below from Gucci, Prada and also some high street stores for more affordable options.

WHITE SHOES

A lot of people used to think that white shoes were too 80’s but guess what? The ’80s are back and so is the white shoe but with a modern update. Opt for a pair of white heeled boots like the ones I’ve been wearing, or you can go for a double trend and grab a pair of white cowboy boots. Either way, white boots, white sandals and white heels are going to dominate the 2019 fashion trends so be sure to grab a pair from my edit below.

The easiest way to make any outfit look more expensive is with the right accessories. One of the biggest fashion trends to make a comeback is the headband, which also happens to be one of the easiest ways to make your next winter outfit look more luxe. The best part? You don’t have to break the bank to get the look! I’ve been reaching for headbands since I was a little girl (I wore on every day!) and although my friends poked fun at me about them all through school, I knew that one day they would all be reaching for one too. (Yes, I was even called Blair Waldorf regularly because of them but whatever, I was always Team B anyways)

Now you’ll find the headband on your favourite street style stars at fashion week (who’s been keeping their eyes on Paris Couture Week?) and across the runway at the likes of Prada, Miu Miu and Dior. Whether you’re looking for a basic one to get you started, a beautiful pearl one for something special or a lush velvet one like this, there’s something for everyone and they are usually under £50 (Of course you can get ones that are over if your budget allows! The Prada one’s are amazing). Now that’s an accessory to stock up on! The one I’m wearing is from Fenwick’s on Bond Street; they have a fab selection if you are ever in the area!

The best part about headbands is that they are the simplest way to complete an outfit. I wore this look to London Fashion Week a few seasons ago but it looks totally different, and so much better, just by adding the headband! If you’re wondering how to wear a headband, I recommend pushing your hair back with it and then pushing it slightly forward to get that slight puff in your hair. I’ve linked to a whole selection of them below, ready for you to shop!
