How To Wear Spring’s Trending Pattern Now

I’m Seeing Polka Dots…

With spring finally, on its way, I’m getting more and more excited to share these spring outfit ideas with you guys. One of the trending patterns for spring and summer is a pattern that I never thought I could wear, but now find myself falling in love with; polka dots. It all started when I fell in love with this beautiful polka dots shirt from The Fable. The Fable is an Australian brand that specialises in gorgeous silk shirts. I even grabbed this beautiful striped shirt from them! If you’re like me and just starting to take the leap into polka dots, then starting with a shirt like this one is a great way to ease your way into one of the seasons favourite patterns. Trust me though, once you see how amazing they look on, you’ll be filling your cart full of polka dots! I’ve linked to some of my favourite polka dot pieces below for you to check out!

What I love most is creating casual outfits like this one that still has so many points of interest! I wanted to add some colour and fun to the look so I added in my crushed velvet jacket. I love how the white, red and blue from my jeans come together so well. Of course, I had to feature the Topshop mom jeans that I haven’t been able to stop talking about! I am so obsessed with how well they fit and they are the perfect piece for your spring wardrobe! I love Topshop denim because of their petite sizes. I’m wearing a petite size here which fits me perfectly (I’m only 5’1) but they also have the same style in regular sizes! To complete the look I added to my Chanel pumps. I love these Chanel shoes because they were my mums which I guess makes them kind of vintage? There you have it, the perfect spring outfit for a casual day out!

What do you think about polka dots?

How To Dress Like A Cool Girl This Valentine’s Day

The Ultimate Valentines Day Cool Girl…

Whether you love it or hate it, there is no denying that valentine’s day is here! Regardless of what you might have planned, whether it be a lovely dinner date, drinks with the girls or a picnic in the park, we all ultimately want to look like the coolest girl around right? As much as I love tapping into my inner girly girl, I can’t help but want to put my own little twist on it and Valentine’s Day is no different. After all, we all want to be the ultimate cool girl right? That’s why, this year, I’ve created this cool and casual valentine’s day outfit that you can all rock and still feel amazing in. There’s nothing sexier than a girl who feels really confident in her outfit!

So this year, rather than reaching for my favourite little red dress, I went for my favourite little red pants instead. I love that these are velvet and the fit is so flattering! To add a bit more definition I opted for a skin-tight turtleneck. After all, it’s still freezing here in London! If you wanted to go for something a little sexier, opt for a bodysuit like this one instead. With a valentines day outfit like this, accessories are key! My Dior slingbacks never fail me. Speaking of which, I also found this pair from Dune that are super similar! Sling backs are always a great way to make an outfit more elegant! Also, this amazing statement evil eye clutch really takes the look to a new level! I discovered this brand Muska when I was in Greece last summer and now I already have two! They are super affordable and so unique! The best part is she ships worldwide as well!

So what are your plans this Valentine’s Day? Will you be trying this casual look?

How To Upgrade Your Bomber Jacket In 2018

The Bomber Jacket is Getting a 2018 Upgrade…

The bomber jacket is a piece that every girl should have in her capsule wardrobe. Time after time, season after season, this one jacket is the key to off-duty style. Since it’s one of my favourites, I happen to have many variations, but today is all about being sporty chic with this particular side stripe bomber jacket. What I love about this piece is that although it has an athleisure vibe to it, it’s so easy to dress it up or down and add some feminine touches. For me, that came in the form of colour. I always find that adding a sense of “chic” to each outfit, elevates any look. That was the idea with this bomber jacket outfit; I went for a totally monochrome pink look! Plus, you guys know that I always love a good pink outfit, like this one here!

Not only did I match the pink of my jacket with the pink in my skirt, I made sure that the sweater underneath was coordinated with the stripes on my bomber jacket. It’s attention to detail that can really make an outfit go from good to great! To really make this outfit street style worthy (while remaining weather appropriate!) I swapped my sneakers for some thigh high boots! That’s how you bring the bomber jacket into 2018!

I’ve never been one for a totally athleisure outfit, that’s why I like to add little bits and pieces that make the trend more me. In this case, it’s colours, but it’s also dainty accessories. These Astrid & Miyu earrings are the perfect everyday piece for any occasion. I love the unique geometric shape! Of course, there is no ignoring my Gucci bee bag! Fun fact: I’m petrified of bees and wasps but somehow I always have accessories that incorporate them!

How are you wearing the bomber jacket in 2018?

The Coolest New Colour Combination To Help You Stand Out in 2018…

A Street Style Star Proof Outfit…

A lot of us sometimes feel as though we need many stand out pieces to create that stunning outfit. Others feel as though you can only achieve that stand out look with designer pieces. The reality of the situation is that it’s much easier to create that stand out look. All you need to do is reach for colour, and I’m talking about more than one! It’s all about creating the perfect colour combination and today I’m sharing the number one colour combination to make you look like a street style star; blue and green.

What I love about this combination is that it makes such a fashion-forward statement without you having to try very hard. That’s what I love about styling, creating combinations that are easy going, but super fashionable! My outfit is mainly high street as well and the silhouette is so comfortable that I could wear this on the weekend, or on a day of meetings too! I picked up this oversized knit from & Other Stories recently and it’s one of the most fun pieces to style! The blue is so flattering and is sure to suit everyone! I paired it with my favourite green khaki trousers from Topshop, but I wasn’t done there! I couldn’t’ resist adding in my trusty beret, this time in a green too! I told you guys I had them in every colour!

By adding in some accessories, like these beautiful gold hoops from Misho, I was able to really elevate the look. What I love about this colour combination is that you don’t have to put in a lot of effort to look incredibly stylish. I was able to create a standout look with a few basic pieces! If wearing this combination head to toe like I did here is a bit too bold for you, you can even try something like blue jeans, a white sweater and green accessories! (Think scarves, bags, boots even!) Either way, this is one colour combination that will make you feel like the most fashionable girl in the room!

How are you styling blue and green together? Is this something you’ve tried before?

How To Look Stylish and Stay Warm This Winter

You Can Stay Stylish and Stay Warm, You Can Have It All…

When the temperature has dropped so low that going outside seems like a nightmare, and the wind makes your ears hurt, you know that you are in the middle of winter. One of the questions I’ve been asked frequently by all of you is, how to look stylish and stay warm when it’s freezing cold outside. Today, I’m going to answer this burning question! I want to show you that you can stay warm and cosy and still look super fashionable; that you really can have it all! There are three key things that will always guarantee comfort and style for your winter looks.

Firstly, it’s all about the coat. Your coat is your best friend when temperatures are sub-zero. It’s the piece that everyone is going to see first and it will dictate first impressions, no matter what you may be wearing underneath. That is why it’s so important to build your coat collection! Don’t be afraid to go for statement pieces that really let your personal style shine through. This could be in terms of texture (think vinyl, shearling or puffer jackets), style (an aviator style is always a quick way to make a statement or a warm tailored coat for a model-off-duty vibe!) or colour! I’ve clearly gone done the colour route and I’m letting my red coat do all the talking! On that note, I know that red can seem like an intimidating colour but when styled right, with classic silhouettes, you can’t go wrong!

Secondly, it’s all about layering. I mean the layers that you can’t see. I can’t do without my Uniqlo heat tech that I wear underneath all my sweaters! It’s those hidden layers that provide extra warmth while letting you look as chic as ever! Thirdly, accessorise! You could be wearing a simple sweater and jeans like I am here, but with the right accessories, you can elevate your look in an instant! I love to play around with my jewellery, especially with large statement earrings that can make a winter outfit so much stylish.

So how will you be staying warm this winter? Do you follow any of these tips?

Here’s How You Can Wear The Autumn/Winter Trends That Will Always Be In Style

With another season upon us, it’s a whole new round of trends to think about! In the midst of all the Autumn/Winter trend talk, it’s so easy to get lost and feel the pressure to either make impulse trend driven purchases, or to feel “unstylish” One of the most important style lessons I’ve learnt is that you should never let trends dominate the way you define your personal style. Instead, how do the trends work with your style? How can you add small details and pieces that enhance how you already dress? There are certain trends that show up year after year, and will always be in style no matter the season. These are the trends worth investing in! I’ve rounded up the 6 trends that you are going to be loving this season. Not only that, I’m also showing you how to take the trends and translate them from the runway. I’ve created the perfect ensemble for each ‘trend’ that is a classic, and will work anytime, any moment!

The key classic trends that I know you’ll always want to keep are all white, heritage prints, faux fur, waist details, monochrome and tan. What I love about all these looks is that you probably already have the pieces you need to create them and if not, they are all worth having! Just click on the plus icons to shop the look!

So which outfit is your favorite? Do you think this helps you?

[show_ms_widget id=”35989851″ image_id=”41849017″ width=”1024″ height=”751″]

All White

There is something so classy about all white. White is a neutral that will never go out of style. So whether you wear your all white pieces together, or separately, they will always work!

Heritage Prints

Tartan, plaid, houndstooth. Like florals go with spring, heritage prints go with winter! I’m sure you already have some or all of these pieces in your wardrobe! An outfit like this is on trend and always classic!

Faux Fur

I love that the fashion industry is moving towards faux fur – it’s the future! It’s a great way to add some luxe to your favourite off duty look! So simple!

Waist Details

Adding attention to your waist and creating a silhouette is never going to go out of style. Paperbag waists or anything with a tie detail is a great piece to have in your wardrobe, especially this season!

Monochrome

I LOVE monochrome. I love wearing shades of one colour, or just one colour, through my whole outfit. It’s so simple but it looks so chic! The colours this season are blue and red – blue is a favourite of mine! (Think Dior!)

Tan

I think this might be my mothers favourite colour – and she is always classic in her style. Tan is having a major moment this year, but it’s always a part of any collection and should be a part of your wardrobe! Works so well for work too!
