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?

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!

Why You Need A Pair of Leather Pants In Your Wardrobe

Here’s A Pair of Pants You Need…

About two years ago I bought a pair of faux leather leggings from Topshop. I did not anticipate how many compliments I was going to receive when I wear them, nor did I anticipate how many people would tell me that they were too afraid to try them! Leather (faux!) pants are not something to fear, rather something that you need to have for a stylish winter wardrobe! Here’s why:

Firstly, pants like these can really upgrade your usual sweater and pants combination because of the gorgeous texture! It makes your usual outfit so much more interesting and luxe!

Secondly, leather trousers come in so many different fits now that there really is something for everyone! Mine are super skinny because I love that I can style them with chunkier knits. They are also available in straight cuts or flares that have a bit more room!

Lastly, they are one of the most versatile pieces I own! As the weather continues to get colder (let’s get real, winter is here in London) leather pants are something I can wear day or night, meeting or drinks! Now that’s a pair of pants worth having!

I paired my leather leggings here with one of my favorite new sweaters from Rag & Bone. I love the gorgeous color block and the shades of blue! I just had to pair the sweater with my current favorite baker boy hat from ASOS! The fit of my leather leggings made them perfect to pair with my cute new OTK blue boots! I got these last week and haven’t been able to take them off since! Did you see me get them on my vlog? Watch it all here!

Do you have a pair of leather leggings or leather pants that you love? Are you going to get a pair?

How To Wear Two Key Autumn Trends In One Outfit

Two trends, one Look and I didn’t even have to think twice…

If there is anything that is trending in fashion right now, it’s corduroy. The 70s fabric is back and it’s back in trousers, skirts, and jackets too! I must admit that the last time I wore corduroy was when I was a very young girl but I’ve found myself falling for it again when I saw all the amazing winter outfit inspiration I was getting with this texture! Speaking of trends, I know how easy it is to get caught up in what’s in and what’s out. Although I am a huge advocate for wearing whatever suits you, it’s really fun to indulge in a few trends now and then!

Incorporating trends into an outfit doesn’t mean you need to break the bank nor does it have to be intimidating. With this look, I’m actually showing you how to wear two winter trends in one outfit! Not only is corduroy a huge thing for this season, monochrome is taking over the runways and street style scene. I have always loved a good monochrome look (I even share my top tips for wearing it here) and one of my favorite ways to make it work is with great textures!

I snagged this beautiful corduroy skirt from Uniqlo a few weeks ago. I noticed they also made a sweater in a super similar shade of green and an outfit immediately clicked in my head! Two trends, one look and I didn’t even have to think twice! I paired the look with my favorite combat boots for some edge and one of my favorite bags from Dior. With the right accessories, a look that is from the high street can look so luxe, which is exactly what’s happened here!

What do you think of these trends? Would you wear them?

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?

The Stylish Workout Wear That’s Motivating Me This Autumn

The Workout Gear That Takes You From Gym to Brunch in Style

Editors Note: See my exclusive interview with fitness babe Aanya from Psycle London and what motivates her to stay fit right here!

As the weather gets colder, we all want to bundle up more and workout less. Don’t worry, I get it (I even mention it in my first ever vlog! Watch it here). It’s hard to motivate yourself to get up and get going when all you want is some hot chocolate and a warm blanket. I find that the best way to motivate myself to get sweating is when I have cute workout clothes! When I look good, I feel good, and when I feel good I feel way more motivated to stay active and be fit! I have to admit that when we took these photos I was not happy with where my body was. We had just come back from vacation and I hadn’t worked out in a little while but putting this outfit on made me feel better and more motivated to get fit again!

Just when my aversion to working out was starting to set in, I discovered Myriad Activewear. Based in India (love representing a brand from my home!), Myriad is making waves in the athleisure scene. I loved the use of color block and straps to create workout wear that is cute and stylish. It’s so cute, you can’t help but want to show it off! The sports bra is very sporty chic with the yellow and white colors, and the graphic straps coming down. The tights match perfectly and the burst of color is exactly what our monochrome autumn wardrobes need!

What I love most about Myriad, is that it’s the easiest gym wear to take from work out to brunch! The whole line focuses not only on stylish clothing you can wear to the gym but also for life. This adorable denim dress was the perfect piece to slip on over my white mesh crop top. I was ready to go from workout to brunch in a matter of seconds! Any outfit that gets you from one place to another and does it in style is a winner in my books! Plus the ease of the clothing made working out and keeping up with my day so much more manageable!

The Easiest Outfit For You To Look Stylish This Autumn

The easiest autumn outfit just takes one piece…

There’s nothing better than looking great but also feeling great in your outfit. It’s one of the keys to effortless style (more on how to achieve that later!) One of the cutest autumn outfits that look and feels great literally just requires one piece of clothing from your wardrobe; the dress! Just because the weather is getting colder, doesn’t mean that dresses and skirts need to be abandoned! What I love about a dress for autumn is that it takes less than a second to put on and it’s the easiest way to come up with a super stylish outfit idea for fall. I picked up this gorgeous Tibi knit (I’ve linked to some other similar options below!) dress a few months ago and have been waiting to it to you guys! Like any great outfit, it makes me feel so stylish when I wear it!

I love the unique fit of this dress with its statement sleeves and cinched waist. I wanted to pair the navy blue of the dress with some chic accessories and create a fun color combination. My Helmer waist bag seemed like the perfect accessory to really highlight my waist and the silver and green were a perfect pairing! I’ve always believed that navy and black are a match made in heaven so my little Dior pumps were a must! (Have you seen the super similar ones I found from Mango?)

There are so many ways you can wear the same dress as well! As the weather gets colder I would wear some sheer tights and thigh high boots with this dress and add in a faux fur coat or gilet! For a real fashion-forward look, stick a belt over your faux fur gilet! Do you like the dress? How would you style it for the season?

What to Wear When You Have Nothing To Wear this Autumn

Happy First Week of Spring!

How many times have you stared into your closet, which is full of clothes, and thought “I have nothing to wear..” It’s more than likely that you need to be out the door in 5 minutes or less and you are totally blanking on a good outfit idea. For moments like these, I have the perfect outfit formula that is sure to provide some style inspiration, as well as help you create that perfect look when you feel like you have nothing to wear! Not only that, it’s the perfect look to fall back upon when you’re wondering what to wear and you’re in a rush. A stylish look that’s simple and I guarantee you will all be able to recreate the look and get multiple compliments on it! Since a lot of us feel like this on a regular, I’ve decided to make this a little series that I revisit. For the first installment, we are looking at what to wear when you have nothing to wear, in the fall.

The outfit formula is simple; Turtleneck + Patterned Skirt (Plaid/Houndstooth/Heritage Printed) + Boots + Accessory.

How easy is that? I grabbed a white turtleneck that is a little chunkier in its fit. I love the feel of a slightly oversized sweater. I paired it with a black and white plaid skirt. You literally can never go wrong with monochrome! To finish the look I grabbed my comfiest boots from Seven Boot Lane. I love that they have a slightly blue tint, so I accessorized with one of my favorite hats of the moment; the baker boy hat. Add a bag and I was ready to go!

Believe it or not, I really did pull this look together in under 5 minutes and I’ve actually worn it on repeat! It has never failed me and it will never fail you! Although I went for black and white, don’t be afraid to play around with some colors! Fall tones like mustard, terracotta, deep red and navy blue all can add that little bit extra to your look!

The Coolest Way To Elevate Your Jeans & Sweater Outfit

Jeans & a sweater don’t have to be boring, they can be super chic…

As the weather gets colder, our heads are filled with wonderful layering outfit ideas, aren’t they? But when it really comes down to it and we have 5 minutes to get dressed, we reach for our trusty favorites. For most of us, our favorite pair of jeans and a sweater usually do the trick. After a while, this combination starts to feel a little old and stale. No problem though, because today I’m sharing how you can take your trusty jeans outfit and elevate it!

I find that the easiest way to elevate my jeans and sweater outfit for fall and winter is by choosing a different pair of jeans. I paired my no-fail white sweater with this gorgeous pair of denim trousers from Joe’s Jeans. Not only does the tailored fit instantly elevate my entire look, the pattern on it makes the whole combination feel so fresh. It’s a super easy way to get that street-style star look in under 5 minutes.

If you’re petite like me it can be really important to keep in mind what you pair with a pair of jeans like these. I really wanted the tailoring of the jeans and the pattern to stand out, so I paired it with a very plain top to keep the look casual yet chic. Plus, I needed to add some height to my silhouette so I went with some little black boots to pull the look together. Much like a little black dress, little black boots are a total necessity for your look! If I wanted to make this look a bit more formal, I would add a blazer. To take this look from desk to drinks, I would just keep it as it is and throw on a great red lip! What do you think?
