Why I Think This Designer T Shirt Is A Better Investment Than The Gucci T Shirt

The Battle of The Luxury T-Shirt; Gucci vs…

In the past few years, we’ve seen a rise of luxury houses churn out cult designer t shirts. We’ve seen it with Dior (Think, “We Should All Be Feminists” the first runway look of Maria Grazia Chiuri to come down the runway), Chanel (from their Cuba collection) and of course, the ever famous Gucci t shirt. Not only does Gucci have one cult t shirt, they have two! This season they came out with another one that everyone is racing to get their hands on. That being said, I am not racing for that second one (yes, I admit I have the first one which I styled ages ago in this post here.. how things have changed!) because I think that there is another designer t shirt that is a much better investment than the Gucci t shirt (gasp! the shock and horror!); The Saint Laurent Logo T Shirt.

When investing in a designer t shirt you need to consider more than whether the piece is trendy at the moment. The ones that are worth the investment, are the ones that stand the test of time for you personally. The Saint Laurent Logo T-Shirt, which has as much of a cult following as the Gucci one, is a piece that you will be able to style today, tomorrow and for years after that. While it dabbles in logomania with the original YSL logo from their first store in Paris in the centre, the logo’s size makes this t-shirt so much more wearable, subtle and chic. I also love the acid wash effect, an immediate cool girl factor.

This is a super cool luxury investment that is subtle enough for you to style and keep in your wardrobe for more than just a season or trend cycle. I think that is one of the most important factors when it comes to purchasing luxury goods.

I styled my new favourite t shirt with a Topshop white denim skirt. I always have a certain amount of key basics that I stock up on from the high street. I think Topshop has an amazing denim selection and I always have at least two denim skirts from them in my wardrobe. I love the mix of light colours for summer; so fresh! The look was complete with some statement Dior slides and these adorable & Other Stories sunglasses. Talk about a high low mix!

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!

How To Wear Double Denim Like A Street Style Star…

Double Denim With a Luxe Touch

Double denim wasn’t just everyone’s favourite outfit combination in the 90’s; it’s still the favourite of street style stars all over. The key to the perfect double denim outfit isn’t just pairing two pieces together. It’s about creating the perfect silhouette to really get that balance between a casual summer outfit, and something incredibly trendy and chic. This is an outfit formula you are going to want in your arsenal this summer, so here’s how to wear double denim like your favourite street style star! Here are some key tips to keep in mind:

1. Keep The Fit of Your Denim In Mind
If you are opting for a double denim look with jeans like mine, make sure you understand the fit of your jeans! If you’re going for skinny bottoms, you might want to contrast this with a baggier top. If you’re going for a straight leg like me, make sure you add some definition to your silhouette with a belt or by pairing it with a crop top I’ve paired my Topshop Straight Leg Jeans with a Topshop Cropped Denim Jacket and a Zara crop top. Showing a little bit of skin helps to make your body look more elongated

2. Don’t Mix & Match Too Many Shades of Denim
Try to keep the shades of denim as close to each other as possible so that the outfit looks put together! You don’t want to see too mismatched; it ruins the effect!

3. Limit The Look To Two Denim Pieces
It can be tempting to go crazy and add in all the denim pieces you have but I would cap the look at two denim pieces and accessorise around that. Add touches of gold or fun statement shoes! What I love about that is that it’s a great summer festival outfit too; especially if you layer on some necklaces!

How To Mix High Fashion & High Street With Double Denim
As you guys know, I’m all about creating the perfect mix of luxury and high street for truly unique outfits! When it comes to denim, you don’t need to have the most expensive pair of jeans to make this outfit look luxe. My jeans are from Topshop and so is my cropped denim jacket! To make the look more luxe, invest in accessories. Here I’ve paired my new Prada kitten heels and my Dior necklace to add that touch of luxury to my look.

Tip: A designer pair of heels can elevate any outfit!

How To Style That Cute Summer Top for A Casual City Look

Time to get that Summer top out…

Although the rain may be pouring down in London this week, there is no denying that summer is well on its way, which means it’s time to get your summer wardrobe in order and make the most of those cute summer tops! If you’re thinking those white off the shoulder blouses and wrap around shirts are just for the beach, you’re wrong! I always believe in making the most of your wardrobe and finding ways to wear your favourite summer holiday pieces in your city too! That’s the way to guarantee no shortage of summer outfits! Here’s how to style that adorable summer top for your next day out on the town!

This Esse Vie white, off shoulder blouse, is perfect for a day in the sun in the likes of Capri or Cannes, but it’s equally adorable for a casual summer day outfit too! I wanted to pair this summer blouse with something edgier, so I opted for a layered leather skirt. I love that the layers of the skirt still make the outfit quite feminine, but the leather adds that perfect contrast!

Accessories are always key to any summer outfit! The baker boy hat is still a trending piece for 2018 and it’s a great way to dress down this beautiful blouse! I paired it with my favourite Chanel Boy Bag and Churchs boots and I suddenly had the perfect outfit for a summer day!

If You’re Weary of Florals, This Easy Spring Outfit Trick Will Change Your Mind…

Floral Can Be Groundbreaking…

I have a confession to make. Up until very recently, I wasn’t a fan of floral printed tops. I couldn’t imagine creating summer outfits based on floral prints. Although summer outfits on Tumblr and Pinterest were full of this much-loved print, I wasn’t getting on the bandwagon; enter the cutest floral top I had ever seen. On one of my recent trips to Topshop, I discovered an adorable selection of floral blouses. Perfect for spring, perfect for summer, the floral blouse was suddenly becoming the key piece in so many summer outfit ideas I lost count! So much so, that I knew I had to share this with you! So, if you’re like me and need a bit of guidance on how to make floral patterns work for you this summer, here are my three tips!

1. Pick your print wisely.
When it comes to prints, are you a go big or go home sort of person or a more minimal the better type? If you’re just delving into the world of floral prints, try something that is a little smaller and less overwhelming. It’s easier to style and I guarantee is great to ease into this print! That’s why I love this Topshop floral off shoulder top so much. It’s so easy to style because the print is so small! (Mine is sold out but there is one similar here)

2. Take note of colours
A pattern might look fabulous on you, but if the colour is all wrong then it’s not going to work! Make sure the colour combinations are flattering. This is one of the key factors that can make a print look super luxe, or the complete opposite, regardless of where it’s from! I opted for darker colours because I felt they were more flattering but I’ve been eyeing some lighter floral pieces too! I’ve linked to them in the little carousel below! (Make sure your Adblocker is turned off!)

3. Pair it well
If you’re wearing a print, be aware of what you are matching it with! Although print on print is not unheard off, it can be challenging to match two florals together well. I like to keep the rest of my pieces understated and if I really feel like I want to add another element, I go for it with accessories. I love these high waisted pants with this top as the looser cut adds a great contrast to the tight fit of the blouse! I added my favourite Gucci Bee Bag for another element of surprise!

How do you wear florals? Are you a floral lover or hater?

How To Wear Vinyl Trousers This Spring

I’m Feeling The Vinyl This Spring…

There is no denying that vinyl is a trend that is here and here to stay. Although I’ve been able to create and style so many spring outfit ideas with vinyl skirts, I had always been hesitant about vinyl pants; until now. I finally took the plunge and bought my first pair of vinyl trousers from ASOS a few weeks ago. I was so excited because I realised that they actually make for the perfect spring outfit! I love that you can create a casual outfit that still makes an amazing fashion statement! I suddenly had a surge of style inspiration when I tried them on because they can be matched with so many pieces (spring outfits galore!) but for this look, I paired them with one of my favourite statement sweaters.

I love that the fit of this sweater is sort of sporty, yet fashionable! It’s also so comfortable that I’m wearing it on repeat! I can’t resist a good statement hoodie and I fell in love with this one the minute I saw it. I’m all about mixing high street and high end, but also balancing out my super edgy outfit with a touch of femininity. That’s why I knew my Dior slingbacks were the perfect heels for the look! Paired with my Topshop baker boy hat, I was ready to go!

I know that one of the things I always wondered about vinyl pants was whether they squeaked a lot when you moved around, but luckily these were silent enough for me! I’ve linked to a few more pairs that I’ve found online below that I hope will give you some outfit inspiration for the coming months! Plus, if it were to rain, all I have to do is wipe these clean! Now that is weather appropriate, hah!

Will you be trying the vinyl trend?
