It’s all about how to wear neon this spring time!

One of the biggest fashion trends of 2019 is neon. Not only is neon big for spring summer, but it’s also carried itself into the fall-winter 2019 shows as well. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Admiring a neon street style outfit is one thing and wearing it is a whole other thing. So here’s the real question, how do you wear neon and still look chic? More like, how do you wear neon on a regular day and not look like a walking traffic cone/highlighter. I have been determined to figure it out and I’m happy to announce I finally have! Here are my three tips on how to wear neon green pink or whatever colour you want a daily basis and still look chic.

1. Avoid stark contrasts like white or black
When wearing neon, you want your entire outfit to fit together and look like it all belongs together. Avoid stark contrasting colours like black or pure white because that will make the neon piece stand out even more, and not necessarily in a good way. That being said, you can wear dark colours like navy blue or light colours like cream like how I wore neon at London fashion week!

2. Colour blocking with neon works
Just because something is neon, doesn’t mean you can’t wear another colour. Something that works super well with neon is denim blue. If you’re wearing neon green, the easiest way to make it work for an everyday spring outfit is to pair it with your favourite blue jeans. Blue and green can be considered as colour blocking and it works super well with making your neon jumper or t-shirt look incredibly chic.

3. Stick to one
The number one rule to follow is that if you’re wearing neon, keep it to one neon piece. Avoid pairing your neon top with neon accessories or clothing. Having one point of focus in your outfit and working your pieces around that make your outfit look classier! For my look, I focused on my neon green jumper and let my other accessories compliment the look like my blue Emma Hyacinth shoes (they look like Manolo’s don’t they? I found them at a store in St. Christophers Place!) and my monogram Louis Vuitton bucket bag.

Why Denim On Denim Is The Perfect Outfit Idea This Spring

Denim on Denim this spring…

If you’re looking for an easy way to transition your wardrobe into spring, look no further than this perfect outfit idea; denim on denim! Denim on denim is one of those trends that come back year after year, so much so that it’s a staple outfit idea in all our minds! I love playing around with different shades of denim, and I also like pushing the boundaries! Most of us tend to think of the Canadian tuxedo when we think of double denim but when I share how to wear denim on denim, I think of other casual outfit ideas that will look as chic! In this look, I opted for a denim skirt with a denim duster coat. Two pieces that are so unique but make the perfect combination! I also love this Markus Lupfer sweatshirt. The blue details on the lips are so fun and match so beautifully with the denim!

A few key things to note when wearing denim on denim is that you don’t want to have too much of a contrast between your shades of blue! I would also limit the outfit to two denim pieces and make sure to have a piece that breaks up the outfit, like a white t-shirt or a sweatshirt like mine!

If you’re still looking for reasons why you should try this denim trend, I’ve got a few for you!

1. It’s a no-brainer outfit formula!
How many times have you looked at the wardrobe and not known what to wear? This is an easy outfit formula that just requires putting your favourite pieces together! A total no-brainer that is guaranteed to look good!

2. The perfect transition outfit
Transitioning your wardrobe from winter to spring can be a real challenge and we are experiencing some serious in-between weather, especially here in London! This is a great way to make the transition to your style and still be on point!

3. Unleash your creativity
Don’t be restricted by the Canadian tuxedo! There are so many more fun denim combinations than just a denim jacket and jeans. Try to work with your more unique denim pieces, like how I did with this Zara denim duster coat here!

How To Style Your Blazer In A Completely New Way

Take Your Blazer Into Spring…

There are certain things every girl should have in her wardrobe and a blazer is one of them. An easy way to make any outfit instantly chic, the blazer is the classic must have to perfect any casual spring outfit idea. When I say blazer, most of you usually think of them as a formal piece, however, I always like to style my blazer casually and today I’m showing you how to style a black blazer in a casual way for spring! This is one of the easiest fashion tips I’ve picked up recently and I just couldn’t wait to share it with you all so that you can create the perfect spring outfit! (Promise spring is almost here guys!)

This styling trick is simple. Instead of letting your blazer hang loose, tuck it into your bottoms as though it was a top! Leave the buttons open so that you can see your t-shirt underneath and voila! You have a totally new way to style your favourite blazer for a casual spring day! This is also a very neat layering trick that is sure to give you lots of outfit ideas! Personally, I went for this plain black blazer and paired it with one of my favourite statement tee’s from Shop Two Songs (I’m such an Aimee song fan!). I liked that there was a statement piece to pull the outfit together. With that in mind, I paired the look with cute yet classic beige bottoms from Maje! I’ve actually worn these a few times before here. It just goes to show that a good piece can be styled in so many different ways!

The blazer I’m wearing here is from River Island – I love their selection because it fits me really well as a petite girl. For other affordable spots to pick up a well fitting blazer, I would recommend Topshop & H&M. Boohoo and Missguided also have a cute selection!

Will you be trying this blazer trick anytime soon?

How To Wear Oversized Pieces When You’re Petite

A Few Tips For Petite Girls…

A lot of you have reached out to me, expressing how much you wish you could recreate a look, like my spring outfit ideas, but you feel you are too petite for it. What shocks you, even more, is when you learn that I’m actually incredibly petite myself! My love for fashion and sharing through my blog has given me the confidence to be fearless with my style and never let my height hold me back, but of course, that wasn’t always the case! Through the years I’ve learned some tips and tricks for creating the perfect petite outfits. So if you’re a petite girl like me and you wish you could rock that oversized coat in an outfit, guess what? You can! Today I’m sharing my latest spring outfit inspiration, along with some special tips for how you can create some stylish petite outfits for spring without being afraid of your oversized pieces!

1. Add definition
I love this oversized duster coat however when I wear it on it’s own I tend to get lost. The best way to make sure you don’t look smaller in your outfits is to add definition. I’ve done that here with a waist belt, which helps highlight my silhouette! PS: Do you recognise this duster from my London Fashion Week Diary?

2. Add some height
Since petite girls aren’t the tallest, a lot of those amazing robes, kimonos and dusters can be a bit too long for us! That’s why I find that the best way to pull them off is to add a bit of height. I’m wearing one of my favourite heels from Valentino! I loved how the different shades of greens worked so well together!

3. Show some skin
Since I paired this long sleeve duster with trousers, I decided to wear it slightly off the shoulder so that you could get a glimpse of my shoulders. By showing some skin when you are petite, it stops your outfit from becoming too overpowering for your figure! It’s a great way to look taller and more defined!

What are your tips for petite girls? Are you petite like me?

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?
