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.

This week we got a real taste of spring here in London and although I couldn’t take my spring outfits for a spin just yet (I was down with the flu, was such a bummer but all your amazing and positive messages on Instagram made me smile so much!) I am so excited to start planning out the cutest outfits that you all can rock this season. I am always taking inspiration from the fashion world around me, especially with all the beautiful street style coming out of Paris fashion week right now, but with all that said and done, there are three things that I always look forward to wearing every spring. Here are your spring outfit essentials and how to style them already:

1. Spring skirts
I was recently asked what my go-to outfit is when I’m in a rush and more often than not you’re going to find me in a skirt and blouse/sweater (Can we stop saying the word sweater now that it’s almost spring?) I am so excited to start pulling out all my favourite spring skirts and stocking up on new ones! This spring, I’ve noticed there are a lot of mini and midi shapes trending, especially slip skirts! I’ve linked to some of my favourites here:

2. Pastel colours
I am such a spring and summer baby. I love all the beautiful colours associated with the season, especially pastels. Pastel pink is one of my all-time favourite colours when it comes to basically everything and I’ve already started to pull out my favourite pastel pieces, like this top handle Dior handbag. Pastels are always a fashion trend for spring and summer, but this season we are seeing a lot of pistachio green. I covered some of my favourite pistachio green pieces here!

3. Ankle boots
It’s time to pack those thigh high boots away and say hello to ankle boots. (There is only one outfit exception I’m making for high boots and you will see that one very soon!) This season we see a fashion trend carrying over from last year; cowboy boots. I was so excited when I finally got my hands on these Isabel Marant cowboy boots and I even wrote an entire review about them here. If there’s a boot style you need this year it’s this one!

3 Tips To Get Ready Faster in The Morning

THINK FAST

When I was in school, the number one reason why I was late was that I couldn’t decide what to wear. Fast forward to university, and that problem continued on. Over time I finally figured out a system that worked well for me and helped me to get ready faster in the morning, while still being happy with the outfit I was in when I walked out the door. So, I know that a lot of you have had the same moment as me when you open your closet in the morning and pretty much hate everything you’re looking at, right? To avoid that mini-meltdown, and save you enough time in the morning, I have three special tips to help you get ready faster. (Also, can we not miss the headband? I am in love with this Prada headband and I feel like it’s relevant because I’ve been rocking a headband since I was 4)

Think About Your Outfit in Advance
Okay, I know this is the most obvious tip of all time and I know that a lot of you don’t like to take your outfit out the night before simply because you’re tired, you don’t have the time, or you want to see how you feel the next day. I don’t think you should be as OCD as me (I think about my outfits a week in advance when I know I have lots of events…) but it does help to have an idea of what you’re going to wear. Think about a look you’d like to put together the night before so that when you wake up in the morning, you know what you’re looking for.

Find Accessories To Fall Back On
What lands up happening is that you sometimes feel like your outfit is too “bland” and you’re tempted to start again. Resist this urge! Instead, organise your accessories so you know which ones work to spice up your outfit. In my outfit, I added in the high socks and the headband to make an otherwise simple spring outfit, look that much more chic.

Know Where To Look
If you think that you have to compromise on style to get ready fast in the morning, I’m here to assure you that you can have your cake and eat it too. Sometimes the best way to figure out what to wear is to look at your inspirations! Check out my Instagram page for all my outfits and what I wear every day, or even have a browse on Pinterest for what others have put together. You’ll probably find an idea in a matter of minutes!

What I Wore To London Fashion Week February 2019

LFW 2019

This post contains affiliate links. This does not affect your experience in any way and all thoughts and opinions remain my own. I have featured some products from & Other Stories who I have a gifting relationship with however products featured here were purchased myself.

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!

The Perfect Outfit with Striped Pants

Striped Pants; A Summer Must-Have

Whenever I wear striped pants, I think of summertime in Italy. I’m not sure where this connection came from, but it’s no surprise that striped pants have become one of my favourite pieces to style. Stripes, in general, are always a classic, no matter the year, no matter the trends. With this laid-back yet chic vibe in mind, I wanted to communicate exactly that in my outfit. With the sun shining, and the weather starting to warm up, I find myself reaching for no-fuss looks more and more!

I love these striped pants because of the waist detail. A cinched waist is the perfect fit for a petite girl like me (Stay tuned for a very special post on how to look taller!). Keeping with my monochrome look, I opted for a white pyjama shirt because nothing says relaxed like a PJ shirt right? What I love about this look is how easy it is to take form day to night. All it took for me was the addition of some statement earrings!

Why You Need A Lace Top For The Perfect Spring Outfit

One piece, so many outfit ideas.

We all have those pieces in our wardrobe that whenever we wear it, and no matter what we wear it with, it looks fabulous. The lace top is one of those pieces that you need in your summer wardrobe. I picked this particular one because I loved the laser cuts and the ruffles. It’s one of those pieces that I know I could wear with anything and it would look great. One piece; a hundred outfit ideas. It’s pieces like the lace top that let you create effortless outfits that are still trendy.

I paired my lace top with some high-waisted black trousers. I loved how sleek the combination looked together. Of course, I had to add the TSS touch to it with a pair of sneakers. To really make the look perfect for a day in the sun, I went for my adorable little straw bag! As the weather gets warmer, I would love to pair this lace top with a denim dress or even a little mini skirt! If you’re feeling really creative, it would look great under a pair of overalls!

How to Wear the Military Jacket Trend this Spring

Adding edge with the military jacket trend…

Spring is one of my favourite seasons. Not only is it a great time to try out new trends, but it’s also the season I was born in (My birthday is on Friday!!). A part of every spring wardrobe this season is the hero jacket: The Military Inspired piece. This is one of those pieces that immediately elevates your go-to jeans and tee combo. In my case, I used it to add a bit of edge to my look. My favourite way to wear the military jacket is by mixing it up with more feminine pieces. I paired mine with a ruffled skirt and a striped sweater (Another must have this spring!). I loved the contrast it created! You could wear your favourite military jacket in so many other ways. I also paired this jacket with some tailored trousers and a white shirt for a more refined look and with a spring dress to add a bit of edge. No matter what you pear it with, remember to keep your palette neutral to let the jacket stand out without overwhelming you!

Venice: Where to Eat, Drink & Play

Italy charmed me long ago when I fell in love with Capri. It managed to do it all over again, this time in Venice. Luring me with promises of gelato, my weight in spaghetti and stunning views (all these promises were fulfilled), Venice stole my heart. Theres nothing quite as satisfying as getting lost in the little colourful streets, the bridges over the canals, or over a glass of Aperol Spritz. With art and culture pouring out at every corner, there’s never a dull moment in this lagoon city.

No matter what corner we turned or bridge we crossed, there was always a beautiful view waiting for us!

Explored Venice’s little streets on our second day in my favourite Self-Portrait top. Plus I found a boater hat on the streets of Venice that I have been hunting for, for ages!

For the best Lobster spaghetti around, try this beautiful restaurant called La Calcina on the water – if its squid ink spaghetti you’re after, look no further than Al Mascaron!

If you’re a lover of modern art, you must check out the Peggy Guggenheim collection – stunning, especially the Andy Warhol piece!

For the best gelato – try La Boutique del Gelato -my favourite flavour there was a mix of chocolate, honey and rum. It’s called Caribe! For a more scenic view, try Nicos!

On our third day I opted for this Free People dress – I love dresses in the summer, especially on a vacation! They are so easy and I love the embroidery on this one. It was the perfect gondola dress too!
