As everyone turns their eyes to Milan Fashion Week, we are still watching all the beautiful street style photos from London Fashion week come out. So many of you had so many questions about all the looks I wore to London Fashion Week this year and I am so excited to share with you what I wore, how I picked my looks and how you can recreate them all!

This season I had the chance to attend four amazing shows and go backstage for two. It was so inspiring to be able to go behind the scenes, watch how the show comes together and then see it all in action! In terms of my outfits, I wanted to find a way to work in some of my favourite spring fashion trends, while still staying true to my personal style. I think one of the keys to personal style is finding a way to be comfortable in what you wear because when you are comfortable, it shows through confidence!

The trends I picked were neon, tie-dye, beige and hair accessories. Scroll down to see how I worked those and some other micro trends into my looks while still creating something classic.

BORA AKSU

For my first look of London Fashion Week I wanted to find a way to wear neon while still working it into my personal style. We all know I’m a huge fan of the slip skirt so I thought my Zara Neon Jumper was the perfect match for my cream silk skirt!

I also love the colour combination of this neon yellow/green with my navy blue Dior Saddle bag. To really bring the look together I added my white boots and my pearl hair clips.

This outfit was actually inspired by a look that was featured on my blog yesterday; It’s the perfect outfit for this in between season before we have a full blown spring! Check that out here!

My goal for all my street style looks for london fashion week, was to find a way to be comfortable in what I was wearing, while working the trends into my outfit.

EUDON CHOI

I got the opportunity to go backstage at the Eudon Choi show and it was my first time ever going backstage for london fashion week. I was so amazed to see how the looks came together from clothes, to hair and make-up.

I wanted to work in a trend that I love into my outfit; tie-dye. It surprises most of my friends and readers that I love tie dye! I styled my Zara tie-dye summer dress with a chunky beige knit to make it weather appropriate.

Sticking with the boho beach vibe, I wore my Nico bar hoop shell earrings and a shell bracelet as an anklet. To add in that classic Shloka touch, I paired the whole look with my Chanel heels to still make it look refined and finished it off with my Louis Vuitton bucket bag, my Ray-Ban sunnies and my Frame Chain sunglass chain.

MARKUS LUPFER

For the Markus Lupfer presentation I was really feeling the idea of pastels. I fell in love with this Lemon Yellow dress from Zara because of the dramatic pufff sleeves!

To add a bit of classic chic to the outfit I paired it with a sleeveless blazer from Zara. The mix of tailoring and feminine gives the outfit a unique twist.

Sunglass chains are clearly my current favourite accessory to add as I used the same chain from my previous outfit on a pair of Oliver Peoples sunglasses. I wore my white office boots and my Dior top handle bag in pastel pink to complete my retro look!

PETER PILOTTO

One of my dreams has always been to attend a Peter Pilotto show. I was so fortunate to be able to go backstage with Code 8 Beauty and see how all the looks came together for one of my favourite designers.

For this show I went for a much more classic and simple look. I wore all beige; a beige sweater, a beige skirt, a beige coat, beige boots and for that pop of colour, I wore my new Prada velvet green headband.

The best part of this show was getting to meet both Eva Chen and Leonie! Totally a dream!

When you wake up and it’s freezing cold, it can be a bit of a task to decide what to wear to work. Although I may not have a dress code for what I do, a lot of my dearest friends face the same struggle; what do I wear into the office today? I’ve come up with a stylish office outfit that I hope you’re going to love; No more confusion about what to wear to work in the winter!

When you think of work you don’t necessarily think of trends but you’ll be surprised about how easily you can work some of your favourite winter fashion trends into your look. Plaid, houndstooth and tartan are all winter classics and all look incredibly chic. Ditch the black skinny jeans or plain black trousers and instead opt for a patterned pair. I picked up these dark blue tartan trousers from the Sandro sale. I love that the pattern is subtle.

I paired this with a grey turtleneck from Sandro as well (another great sale purchase!). This turtleneck is a total classic piece but what makes the whole look more interesting is the neck detailing. I love classics with a twist! I would also pair these trousers with a plain white ribbed turtleneck and a blazer. Finally, I added in a pair of white boots; a simple yet effective way to make your outfit stand out!

In terms of accessories, I’m wearing vintage Givenchy earrings that I found in a store in Amsterdam and my favourite Louis Vuitton bag. I get a lot of questions about this bag and how much it can fit. Let’s just say I can pretty much fit my life in it! I also added in my new Chanel sunglasses. I’m obsessed with the retro vibes!

If you live in a warmer country but want to recreate this look, I would still opt for patterned pants like these and instead pair it with a white t-shirt or with a white blouse; a white shirt with oversized sleeves would look fabulous! If your office is a bit more casual you can even throw in a pair of white trainers!

Would you wear this to the office?

3 Tips To Properly Take Care Of Your Designer Handbags

BAG CARE

One of my most frequently asked questions is how to take care of designer bags properly. You’ve splurged on your dream bag but how do you maintain it when you aren’t wearing it! Luckily I have some experience in this area and after gathering a lot of tips from the women around me I’ve learnt that there are three practices that are necessary for properly taking care of your luxury handbags. I’ve shared these three tips with you below so scroll down to learn how I make sure all my bags remain looking as beautiful as the day I got them!

I know a lot of you also wonder how to store them. I’ve covered that in the tips below along with some special tips for storing your bags when you don’t have a lot of living space!

1. STORE IN COOL DRY PLACES IN CLOTH BAGS.

Always store your designer handbags in the cloth bags they came in. This protects them from dust and any other factors that may ruin the material of the bag. Make sure that your bags are stored in a dry place as moisture can ruin the leather/material of your bag, including the inside of your bag. If you live in Europe, this is much easier to do but if you live in Asia, you’ll know that moisture and humidity can find it’s way into your closet. A trick I learnt from growing up in India is to take those little silica gel bags you get with some purchases and place them inside your bags. This will soak up any moisture in the air!

Some of you are wondering how to store your bags if you have limited storage space (Did someone say London apartment problem? I feel you). There are a few options that you can explore. You can either get these clear drawers from Muji, which are large enough for you to neatly place your bags in and makes them easy to access. The extra storage is always welcome right? For clutches and smaller bags, you can look to get a soft hanging shelf in your closet. This has soft shelves that you can store more bags in.

Top Tip: Take those little silica gel bags you get with some purchases and place them inside your bags. This will soak up any moisture in the air!

2. STUFF THEM

To make sure your bags maintain their shape, be sure to stuff them. You can either stuff them with fabrics like your scarves or with acid-free tissue paper. Usually, when you get a new bag, they come with stuffing already and I tend to keep this stuffing going in all my bags. You can also purchase bag inserts that will help to keep the shape of your bag but I prefer the previous options as they are just easier. It’s very hard for a bag to regain it’s shape, trust me that’s a lesson I’ve learnt the hard way, so make sure you stuff them properly!

3. CLEAN THEM REGULARLY

Like anything, your bags need some TLC. Some designer bags come with a buffing cloth that you can use to buff and clean the leather. You can use this for all your bags. You can also get a special scotch guard for your cloth/suede bags to make sure they do not stain. It always helps to maintain the material of your bags by giving them a good wipe and clean every few months.

So You Bought The Designer T Shirt, But How Do You Wear It In Autumn?

T SHIRT LOVER

So it’s no surprise that the slogan t shirt is taking over the street style scene right now. I still remember when the Gucci T shirt was the it piece to have in your wardrobe, but if you remember from this post, I actually think that another designer t shirt is a far smarter long-term investment than the Gucci one; this Saint Laurent t-shirt. So you’ve picked it up, you’ve worn it all summer long and you’re just not ready to put it away for autumn. Sound familiar? That’s definitely how I feel about all my favourite slogan t shirts! That’s why today I’m showing you how to wear your favourite slogan tee for a few months longer!

I paired my Saint Laurent tee with a heritage houndstooth print skirt. Prints like check and houndstooth always dominate the season and it was no different for the autumn/winter 2018 collections (See all the trends worth knowing for the season here!) Adding that autumn touch already makes your t-shirt more season appropriate. I also stuck to a very seasonal colour palette, opting for warmer shades of brown and red.

The real secret to wearing that slogan tee in the autumn is layering. I layered this beautiful maroon leather jacket over my pink t shirt since pink and red is one of my favourite colour combinations! The final touches came with my beautiful gold Jimmy Choo shoes which I’ve had in my closet for a few years now and one of my favourite Louis Vuitton handbags, the Pochette Metis. I love how the monogram doesn’t clash with any of the autumn/winter prints I love!
