It’s all about some creative layering

After my gorgeous trip to Zermatt I was excited to come back to London. Not only was I excited because I was feeling refreshed and inspired, but also because as much as I enjoyed my casual dressing in the mountain, I was excited for the ‘London look’ once again. I admit that autumn and winter are not my favourite seasons of the year but what makes me excited for them is the fact that I can start to pull out all my favourite chunky knits, my leather skirts, my thigh high boots and my favourite coats. It felt only right to layer as well and throw it all in together. Layering is a skill that once mastered can be so much fun to play with. What I love most about this outfit is the skirt. The colour is so unusual and the croc embossing effect on it makes it such a star piece for your wardrobe – easy to match and pair with other statement pieces while making it’s own subtle statement as well. It went perfectly with one of my favourite bags that was a beautiful birthday present to me.

Colour of the Month: Bubblegum Pink

At one point or another, you thought this was your favourite colour. Let’s bring that back

We’ve seen it on the Gucci ‘it’ bag of the season, it’s all over our Pinterest boards and I”m sure you’ve all attempted to recreate the infamous tumblr photo, Girl with Giant Bubblegum Bubble. If you haven’t guessed yet, this month’s colour of the month is none other than the gorgeous, Bubblegum Pink. Although it seems like one of the most overwhelming shades of pink, bringing to mind Gretchen Weiner/Regina George’s whole wardrobe, I guarantee its one you can incorporate into your next look without looking like a Mean Girl.  So other than the obvious of Pink and White  & Pink and Black, why not try one of the se combinations below? If you’re feeling very daring,  Pink also featured in my firstColour of the Month with another bold colour! If not, scroll down!

Pink + Blue

A stellar combination that you really can’t go wrong with. I know it may seem strange, but these two colours, regardless of the shade of blue, go fabulously together!

Khaki is a neutral so of course pink would work!
