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!

There is no denying that spring is in the air and no one is more excited about cute spring outfits than me! Not only do I love pulling out my favourite pieces like slip skirts and leather jackets, but my birthday also falls in the spring! Now as excited as we all may be, it’s not exactly sun shining, warm weather, rosé time just yet, which means that right now it’s all about transitional dressing and creating the perfect outfit for in between seasons; AKA March!

For me, it’s about mixing your favourite winter pieces with your favourite warm-weather pieces as I’ve done in this outfit here. This & Other Stories cardigan is a piece I’ve worn over and over and it still sparks so much joy. It is the perfect piece to layer over your favourite spring dress or over a cute cami and silk slip skirt. (I’ve linked to a similar Topshop slip skirt)

Yes, it’s officially time for your slip skirt to come out and play and there are so many ways you can style it! I styled my white silk slip skirt with a silk cami but you can also pair it with a fun knit or for an edgier look, a turtleneck and leather jacket! If you live in a warmer country though, just style it with a t-shirt for the perfect look. You can add a pop of colour with accessories!

To complete the look I added in my pearl hair clips. I’ve had a lot of questions about them and these are from Anthropologie. Although it says there is a back order on them I actually got mine super quickly after I ordered them. If you don’t feel like waiting though here are some similar ones! For a final pop of colour, I wore my Dior Saddle bag to bring the outfit together!

Are you excited about spring fashion?

How To Style Your Slip Skirt For A Cute Winter Outfit

A PERFECT SLIP

I’ve always said that there is no point wearing a trend if it doesn’t suit you, but there are some autumn winter 2018 trends that work for everyone; enter the slip skirt. I am no stranger to the silk midi skirt, aka, the slip skirt. I personally believe that this is one of those pieces that every single capsule wardrobe needs, solely because it is so elegant and chic and can be styled in so many different ways. What really gave rise to this skirt was the leopard print Realisation Par skirt that took over Instagram (Yes, the Naomi skirt). But how do you make a trend timeless, and how do you make it work for you? That’s the real secret behind true style #youhearditherefirst.

To make sure you’re buying wisely, save the animal prints for fast fashion (unless it’s something you really like to wear no matter what, like my mother. She’s rocked animal print so elegantly for as long as I can remember) and opt for a beautiful neutral colour like champagne pink, cream or black. For my winter wardrobe, I knew I needed a black addition (the one I’m wearing is almost sold out so here is a similar one) . You can 100% wear a skirt like this in the winter as long as you layer it properly. I paired my black midi slip skirt with a black turtleneck for a chic and elegant winter outfit.

In terms of accessories, I added in a touch of colour with my Miu Miu velvet boots (similar more affordable version here!). As it gets colder though, I would pair this with thigh high boots, but not in black! Try brown, nude or camel coloured boots to make yourself look taller.

If you live in a warm country, this look would also work with a graphic t-shirt or even an oversized hoodie for a really cool girl look (I know a lot of my readers have bigger busts and have asked for a few lines about that so that styling tip would work well for you girls!) If you are petite, I also think it’s better to add some form of height when wearing a skirt like this, whether that be through heels or flatform sneakers!

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?
