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!

You Won’t Be Able To Stop Wearing This Skirt This Spring…

The Spring Skirt Your Closet Wants & Needs….

I hear we are dealing with what is called the “beast from the east” here in London with the weather dropping to shiver status. I more than anyone am ready to abandon my puffer jacket and ear muffs (yes, it’s so cold I am wearing ear muffs..) and start wearing spring clothes but I think we are going to have to wait another week for that! That being said, it doesn’t mean that we can’t get ahead of the next season right? I’m here to constantly inspire you with the content I create at TSS and to always give you the confidence and style inspiration to be the most stylish you can be! That’s why, I’m already starting to round up the spring outfit ideas for you, starting with this one! This is the one skirt you will not be able to stop wearing this spring.

Tweed is timeless, classy and always in style (think Chanel!). Mix your tweed piece with a retro print and voila, you have this beautiful skirt right here. With the rise of retro prints and two-piece sets coming back with a bang, this skirt is such a steal, so in fashion, and also incredibly versatile! Pair it with your favourite thigh high boots and knit like I have here when the weather gets a bit warmer of course! You can also take this into spring by pairing it with a chic button-down shirt, or your favourite statement tee! The options are endless, but one thing is for sure, you need this skirt!

Remember, even with a great skirt like this one, accessories are key! I’m a huge fan of the baker boy hat. I never thought it would suit me but to my surprise I loved it and I bet you will too! I got this leather look one from Topshop but found an even cuter one from ASOS here! Will you be wearing this skirt this spring?

Monday Update #43

Happy

For those of you who are in the UK, you would have woken up to a snowy Monday morning! No matter how many times I see snow, I still find as magical as ever! It was such a beautiful way to start the day! I know that the weather forecast has us in for an extremely cold week, but that isn’t stopping me from looking forward to spring! I’m one of those freaks who’s looked at the extended weather forecast and I know the weather is getting better in a week or two so let’s get ahead of it and be ready for when the sunshine comes! I hate not knowing what to wear when the weather has changed, don’t you?

My London Fashion Week Diary [February 2018]

Image taken by Michaela Efford

It’s Time For
…

Another year, another fashion week! London Fashion Week took place this past weekend and the capital was flooded with amazing street style, fabulous runway shows and lots of amazing events. I was so excited because this year I got to attend the most beautiful Bora Aksu show, an amazing event with The Clck and of course today I’m going to share it all with you! If there is anything I’ve learned about fashion week, it’s that it’s a marathon, not a sprint! One day into it and I was already exhausted! I’ve linked to some of my favourite essentials below as well! Although it looks like the most glamorous event, there’s a lot of hard work and planning that goes into it. Even so, it really is all worth it!

BORA AKSU

My day started with my most anticipated event, the Bora Aksu runway show. The designer took his inspiration from a famous Georgian surgeon. She was one of the first women in her field, but had to dress like a man to do her job. The collection highlighted this contrast through it’s use of masculine silhouettes with feminine touches. (Think waist belts, pops of pink and ruffles) as well as it’s beautiful lace and sheer dresses and floral patterns. The whole collection blew me away and there really was no better way to start the day!

The @bora_aksu collection was inspired by a female Georgian surgeon who pretended to be a man to do her job. With a mix of masculine silhouettes, playful colours and feminine lace and ruffles, the collection was gorgeous 💕 • • • #fashion #lfw #londonfashionweek #video #fashionvideo #boraaksu #fblogger #londonblogger #london #luxuryblogger #fashionfilm #love

WHAT I WORE

This fashion week I really did not want to dress for the cameras. I wanted to dress for myself. What is personal style, if not for yourself? I think it is so easy to be overwhelmed by the street style and wanting to be noticed, however at the end of the day, if you aren’t true to yourself there is no point. I think this outfit is really “me”. I found this gorgeous green suede duster from Jovonna London at Topshop a few months ago. Paired with my favourite pattern, plaid of course, and some of my must have accessories, I knew this was going to be a winner! My final touch was my brand new lip colour from Nars. It’s called Hell Gate! It’s one of the few reds that I actually love and recommend.

Duster: Jovonna London

Skirt: Topshop (similar via ASOS here)

Turtleneck: Uniqlo

Boots: Chanel

Bag: Dior

Belt: Vintage Celine

Lips: Nars Hell Gate

THE CLCK LUNCH

I finished off my day with an amazing blogger lunch held by The Clck at the Me Hotel London. It’s the perfect spot at fashion week because it’s right next to all the shows! We had the most photogenic lunch, with champagne, amazing views of London and lots of girl gang photo ops! I even got to hang out with some of my favourite bloggers from London and around the world! It was the perfect way to end the day!

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?

This Is Why You Should Invest In This New Classic Pattern…

The Spots You Want To See…

There are certain patterns that never go out of style. Stripes, checks, and the latest addition to that list is leopard print. Season after season, we see it on the runway, we see it at our favourite high street stores and on our favourite street style stars; there is no escaping leopard print. That’s why you should embrace this print! Trust me, I wasn’t 100% on the bandwagon. In fact, when I met my dear friend Sophie from Silk & Strands some months ago, I was convinced that a print like this, on a coat nonetheless, was not going to suit me! But, what do I always say? It’s all about taking risks and being a little fearless when it comes to your style! I’ve always loved the print, so why not give it a shot!

When I found this jacket from By Malene Birger, I knew I had found the perfect piece to ease me into this pattern. After this, I’ve been all about investing in leopard prints more! From skirts to tops to coats, it’s a pattern I think we should all have in our wardrobes. If you are like me and are initially hesitant about a pattern as bold as this, I have some tips for how to style that leopard print coat, skirt or top you’ve been wanting so badly.

Firstly, be mindful of the other colours you are pairing your leopard with. I would avoid anything too bright and stick to neutral or jewel tones like beiges, blacks, whites or even maroons! The more neutral the colours, the more likely your outfit will stand out in the right way! Secondly, be aware of textures as well. Try to keep other textures to a minimum as I have done here. Other than my leather boots, I really let the jacket do most of the work. Lastly, be confident! The easiest way to pull of a star print like this is to wear it with confidence. Trust me, no one will doubt it, and you can totally rock it!

I’ve linked to some of my favourite leopards print pieces that are available right now. I’ve picked these because I love how luxe they look and would be super easy to style!

How do you wear your favourite leopard print outfit?

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!

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?
