Valentine’s Day is around the corner and regardless of whether you’re celebrating it with your S.O or with your girlfriends, the last thing you want is to look like a cliche. Of course, everyone is going to pull out their favourite pink and red pieces but I always like to take a step back and instead inject a bit of cool factor into my winter date night outfit. This outfit isn’t just about looking your best on Valentine’s Day, it’s about how to look cool on any date night you might have coming up.

My first rule on V-day is to step away from anything pink or red. Believe it or not, I feel like Valentine’s Day is overrated. Why should we celebrate our love for others for only one day? That’s why I always like to keep things classy and cool and treat it like any other date night. After all, you should look fabulous regardless of it being the 14th of February right?

I opt for classic colours like black and white and look to add colour into my outfit with my accessories. For this look, I went for an oversized ba&sh white sweater with a knotted back. I love the back detailing, it’s a bit of spice without being too much. I paired it with a pair of sleek Paige joggers and some cute heels. The whole ensemble is put together and elegant, without it looking like you’ve tried too hard.

To add some more personality to my outfit I wore my vintage Balenciaga statement earrings. I always find that when you wear statement earring like these, you don’t need anything else. My bag is the same belt bag I’ve been sharing with you on my Instagram but styled as a clutch. I love this company as they make affordable luxury. I also love how you can wear it in so many different ways.

So, would you wear this on your next date night? Are you celebrating Valentine’s Day?

Friday Favourites #3

Fashion blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker showcases her Friday Favourites

Thank God It’s

I feel like everyone is in the mood for love. Whether that be with your SO, your girlfriends or even self love (which is so important so if you’re gonna practice anything this V-Day let it at least be some self love!) my Friday favourites are all about adding that little extra dose of “<3” to your day! Below I’ve got the perfect red dress for V-Day and you will not believe how affordable it is! I’ve even found the perfect lip shade, nail shade and the prettiest fragrance! Scroll down to see it all!

When I spotted this dress on Revolve I was immediately obsessed. The back details on it are gorgeous and what’s even better? Its under £50!

I mean how amazing is that? It’s gorgeous, its affordable and it’s the perfect dress for V-Day and beyond!

I’ve battled with the red lip for sometime now. Trying to find that perfect shade is not easy! This V-Day why not try something a little darker but still universally flattering? My go to statement lip is always the same; Charlotte Tilbury Birkin Brown.

The amount of times I’ve recommended this to people, and they’ve loved it of course, is crazy! So of course, I have to recommend it to you guys too! Perfect for whatever you have planned!

Loving this!

What song are you loving right now? What do you think of this one?




If there was ever a time to say bye to winter nudes and hello to something bright, it’s now! Opt for a beautiful summer red shade on your nails to get into the spirit!

I’m a huge fan of OPI because I think they have amazing staying power! Remember to follow these tips to make your nail polish last!


Get it here

Everyone loves a new perfume am I right? This is the perfect scent for any Valentines (or Galentines!) day celebrations you have coming up. What I love is that it’s a small rollerball size that fits right in your purse! So convenient. Don’t worry it comes in a bigger size too if you really fall in love!

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?
