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?

What To Wear To Your Next Christmas Party: The Perfect Holiday Outfit

Tis The Season…

As our calendars start to fill with holiday parties, it’s time to get out our favourite dancing shoes and our prettiest dresses and skirts. I know that I sometimes struggle with party outfit ideas, especially when the occasions are so frequent! This year though, I found my favourite party outfit to date. The key to the perfect party outfit is always having that one piece that’s more interesting than the rest. In this case, though, I found three pieces that are statements in their own right but are a match made in fashion heaven when combined. I think it’s important to remember, especially for a good party outfit, that when combining many statement pieces, make sure you keep your colour palette as sober as possible. I opted in for a total classic, an all-black look.

Ba&sh is one of my favourite brands (I promise this is not sponsored, I’m just obsessed) and this year I snagged the most beautiful sweater ba&sh sweater. The low back with the crystal details makes it a perfect option for any holiday celebration. Since I was going for covered knitwear on top, I wanted to have some fun and go with something sheer on the bottom. I picked up this sheer panelled skirt while I was in India but I’ve found some similar options, like this one here and this super elegant one here (Both are super affordable too!) I love how balanced the look is, not showing too much or too little!

If there is any time for more is more, the holidays are it. Don’t shy away from accessories for your holiday party outfits! I pulled out my favourite Sophia Webster heels. I love the fun geometric pattern. They are so easy to wear because of the colours! I grabbed my favourite Dior bag and I was ready to go – holiday party ready! Would you wear this look? What are you wearing to your holiday parties?

What I’ve Been Wearing in India So Far: Indian Outfits and more!

As some of you may know from my Instagram, I’ve been in India for the past week! It’s been an incredibly hectic week so far with a secret project in the works as well as attending a beautiful wedding! With a little bit more time here in Bombay, I wanted to share all the outfits I’ve been wearing so far and where you can get them too! I hope you enjoy the Indian outfits (For all my Indian followers who have been asking me where I got these made, all the details are below!) and it gives you an idea of what to wear in India too! This past week has been a bit more glamorous than usual but a little sparkle never hurt anybody right?

After landing into Bombay last Tuesday, I immediately jetted off to New Delhi where I was attending a wedding. Indian weddings are usually a four-day extravaganza of colour and shine. There were five events in total but I’m sharing some of my favourite looks with you. It’s one of the few times I really get to get all dolled up and wear as many sparkles as my heart desires! Now that I’m back in Bombay, I will be sharing some more casual looks as well but till then, scroll down to see what I’ve been up to!

Taking off to India, this was one of my most comfortable travel outfits to date! I love a monochrome look because it is so easy and chic! You really can’t go wrong!

Sweater: Wildfox

Track Pants: Zara (Similar via Revolve here)

Sneakers: Gucci

I landed in and had to prep for a secret project! I can’t wait to share more but for now, I can show you the awesome new sunnies I got! Unfortunately, they were lost over the weekend but I am determined to find them! These ray-bans are the most flattering shape ever! I also am lucky enough to have gotten my hands on these adorable new bracelets from the Dior cruise collection! Such pretty colours!

Sunglasses: Ray Ban

Bracelets: Dior

Lip Colour: Nars Do Me Baby

The next day I was off to Delhi to attend a wedding! The festivities kicked off with a lovely dinner and the next day I sported this jumpsuit! You will never guess where it’s from! It’s super chic and super affordable! I also wore these shoes for almost every single event underneath all my huge outfits – they were super comfortable and let me stay on my feet all day and night!

Jumpsuit: Next

Shoes: Valentino

Next was the cocktail dinner. I wore one of my favourite dresses of all time from Self Portrait! I love that it isn’t your typical LBD. Unfortunately on the way back home I managed to get my heel stuck in the lace and my dress ripped! Luckily it’s being fixed as we speak! Phew!

Dress: Self Portrait (Similar via Self Portrait here and via ASOS here)

Shoes: Charlotte Olympia (another super comfy pair of heels regardless of the height!)

The following day was something called the “mehndi” and the “sangeet”. This is the henna ceremony where the bride and all the women get beautiful henna work done on their hands! The sangeet is when both the bride and grooms side perform dances and skits! It was a beautiful day with bursts of colour! I wore a yellow sari!

Sari: Bharavi Jaikishan

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

This was by far my most favourite outfit. I got so many DM’s from you guys on Instagram asking me where I got this lehnga from. This particular piece is from one of my favourite Indian designers, Pallavi Jaikishan. I loved that the blouse was off-shoulder and this particular shade of pink is one of my favourites for sure! Plus the humongous skirt made me feel like a total princess!

Lehnga: Pallavi Jaikishan

The Number One Way To Wear A Slip Skirt in the Winter

Don’t put that slip skirt away…

After a while of browsing through photos of sweaters and jeans on Pinterest, we start to run out of some great winter outfit ideas. For me, I love to get creative with my combinations and I’m always thinking of new ways to provide you guys with some outfit inspiration while encouraging you to be adventurous with your wardrobe. If there’s anything that’s trending right now it’s that Topshop slip skirt that we all want to get our hands on. If you did manage to get it, or a similar one like this one you can create a beautiful winter outfit.

The number one way for you to rock your favorite summer slip skirt this winter is easier than you think. Grab your favorite chunky sweater and throw it on over the skirt. I paired this beautiful silk skirt that you may remember from my trip to Santorini, with this super chunky and frilly black sweater from Claudie Pierlot. I love the mix of textures that the two pieces create together! I think that an outfit is much chicer when you don’t get lost in it so to define my silhouette I added in a belt. I find that it really brings the outfit together.

The final touch would, of course, be a pair of thigh high boots. After all, you have to make sure you’re warm! My boots and sweater kept me super cozy and I was so happy I was able to wear this skirt! You can also try to recreate this look with your favorite summer dress by simply throwing a chunky sweater over it! If you remember I did that recently on my Instagram!

What do you think? Will you be trying this super cool outfit?

How I Make Old Pieces In My Wardrobe Look New Again

Let’s hit refresh…

With every new season, we constantly look at our closet full of clothes and think “I need something new” but recently I’ve been asking myself, do I really? I think that the key to making good choices while shopping is to make sure that what you buy will last you for more than a season. After all, that’s really how you start to develop a sense of personal style.

Recently, I’ve been inspired to take old pieces in my closet and wear them in new ways to make them feel fresh and new for a new season. Just because it’s been in your wardrobe for more than a season, doesn’t mean it isn’t stylish! It also really helps put all the pieces in your wardrobe to the test, of whether they are truly worth their buck! One of my favorite pieces is this pair of Topshop trousers I bought a couple of years ago. I love the colour because it’s so classic and the fit is amazing. I wore these pants to Paris Fashion Week and really wanted to style them again!

I paired these pants with a top that is almost four years old! I have so much black and white in my closet but this is one of those tops I just cannot say no to – there is something so classic and chic about it and it lasts me season after season! To really give the look a fresh feel I paired it with a waist bag from Helmer. I loved how the metallic details of the bag make this outfit feel so shiny and new! Completed with a pair of sock boots and a coat I have literally been wearing on repeat, all my old pieces suddenly felt so fresh. Could you have ever guessed that I’ve worn these pieces a thousand times before on the blog too?

How do you make your old pieces feel new? Where do you go for your style inspiration?

The Coolest Way For You To Wear Velvet This Winter

It’s All About Velvet…

Velvet is synonymous with winter. This soft luxurious fabric always makes me think of snow and Christmas lights. There is no doubt that I just adore velvet (You probably saw that on my Instagram yesterday!). Most of you are probably thinking of velvet dresses and skirts, but the coolest way for you to wear velvet this winter is with a pair of velvet jeans! Why should velvet only be for your holiday parties? Bring it into your winter outfit for a great daytime look!

I found this particular pair of jeans on a recent shopping trip I went on and I not only fell in love with them because they were velvet but because of the beautiful colour! I find that burgundy is the perfect winter colour, don’t you? One of my favorite colour combinations is pink and red – a pink and red outfit is immediately super chic and is such a simple way of putting a look together! My new Cherie jumper was perfect for the occasion; its super snuggly and I love a sweater with words on it! Fun fact: I studied French in school for almost 9 years and I’m still terrible at it!

I was really feeling the gorgeous colours and I wanted to highlight that through the rest of this winter outfit with my accessories! With the right textures, my pink tinted Dior sunnies worked perfectly with this look! I grabbed a pink bag and my all time favorite boots and I was ready to go. I think an outfit like this really highlights that you don’t need to overthink your everyday look – a simple jeans and sweater combination can look as chic when you work with colours and textures!

If you’re finding that velvet is not your thing, I found a beautiful pair of affordable corduroy pants here and here that would create the same effect!

The Coziest Winter Dress You’ll Be Wearing all Season Long

I had no idea that this was a dress when I picked it up…

Autumn is officially here but with Christmas around the corner (don’t tell me you haven’t noticed the lights and decorations everywhere!) winter isn’t very far behind. One of my favorite purchases this season came in the form of a dress that I initially thought was a coat! What I love in a winter outfit is something that is chic and unique and this dress is both those things! I initially picked it up because I loved the colors and thought it was a fabulous jacket. When I tried it on (always try everything on! Have you seen my latest vlog with all my shopping tips?) I realized it was actually a fabulous, and very warm, winter dress!

I wanted to let this amazing piece speak for itself, so I paired it with my amazing velvet boots and my favorite Sunday Somewhere sunglasses! These boots are a purchase that I made last year but I’m still as in love with them as ever! These are Miu Miu but I found some super similar ones here! I loved the retro feel that all the accessories brought to the outfit (I mean, how old school Italy are my sunglasses?) and together, it created the perfect winter outfit for any occasion! Another winter dress to add to the collection!

This is another one of my outfits that took me all of 5 minutes to put together. It’s looks like these, that are easy and look amazing, that are always great to have on hand! Especially because it works for so many different occasions and will never fail you if you’re running late!

What do you think? Would you wear this?

Why You Need A Leather Skirt To Look Perfect This Winter

The Piece Every Capsule Winter Wardrobe Needs…

There is no denying that winter is setting in here in London and our favorite winter boots and coats are starting to emerge. What I love about this time of year are all the textures we get to play with, from chunky knits to tweed and of course, leather. There are certain pieces that every capsule wardrobe needs and the leather skirt are one of them. The perfect piece to create many winter outfits, a leather skirt can literally be worn with anything, and in so many different ways. If you’ve been reading TSS for a while now, you know that I love to get as much wear out of my pieces as possible. The more versatile the piece the better! If you’re in Europe like me, it’s probably time to start layering the tights underneath, but for all my American readers, you still have some time to show some leg!

A leather skirt doesn’t need to break the bank. The one I’m wearing in this outfit is a faux leather skirt from Zara. I love that the texture is quite soft, something that I’ve been seeing in all the latest magazines too! I’ve seen some gorgeous ones like this one from Topshop, and this one from ASOS – both super affordable! The best part about a skirt like this is that you can wear it with your favorite chunky cable knit for a casual everyday look, or you can dress it up with a blouse for a night out! The winter outfit inspiration from this one piece is endless.

I chose to go for a classic look with my skirt. I paired it with a white sweater and a cropped black blazer. A super classic combination that you can’t go wrong with! I added in my riding boots because I loved how it added to the classic vibe of my outfit! These have to be my favorite boots – I’ve had them for 5 years, long before I started blogging – and I still wear them every single year. Now that’s a good purchase, right?

How would you wear your leather skirt? Do you have one you love?
