Think Pink: Finding My Style

Top- Zara | Jeans- Topshop | Heels- MissPap | Bag- Vivienne Westwood (old)

I am fully enamoured with this outfit. I personally think it's so versatile, flattering, feminine and these jeans are my new best friend. I'm really into sheer tops at the moment, as is the trend, I think it adds sex appeal in the right way and as if I haven't had enough of pink and frills this Zara top caught my eye. I'm really knuckling down into what I like and colour with some sass is coming in. 

It somehow reminds me of easter, possibly by way of colour and my white vivienne westwood swinging beside me, but it feels demure in a non dowdy way and so totally appropriate for smarter occasions. A high neck, modern/victorian style blouse played down with distressed skinnys just shows the style i'm into. I really like soft tailoring; something that can easily turn from office wear to a date, comfy but classy and I try to pick pieces that look more expensive then they are as these stand the test of time. What pieces keep cropping up in your wardrobe and how would you describe your style?

Summer In The City: Dress Confident

Jumspuit & Bag- Zara | Jacket- New Look | Shoes- Miss Pap (all sale)

On a small mid month outing to Zara (when am I never there) I came across a grey culotte jumpsuit, alas they didn't have my size left so my friend suggested I get the red. I thought, no way josé how will i wear that?! It's so fire red and being a jumpsuit there isn't much to tone it down; but your friends are that for a reason! And it was a bargain at a sale price of 9.99. It's so comfortable and the way the fabric moves is beautiful, culotte jumpsuits truly are a wonder outfit for every shape and can be dressed up as I have done here with heels. I let the jumpsuit do the talking, pairing it with simple gold accessories and salmon bag and shoes, it deserved the shard backdrop as the building too is a standout feature. The only thing I must note is mine needs to be taken up a little. You know, life is too short to NOT to buy the outfit and something that makes you feel good can never be bad. Wear it and wear it well!

A Smooth Transition

Jacket- New Look | Top- Zara | Bag- Zara | Trousers- Asos | Shoes- Zara | Sunglasses- Topshop

So in April we've had sunshine, rain and even a pinch of snow! I struck lucky one weekend and took some photos of an outfit I've worn to transition into the spring months. I love this bat wing top from Zara, although light in colour and look it's a knitted fabric so keeps me warm along with my pleather trousers. 

I'd say ankle boots are a must for traipsing around London; keeping you in style but still comfortable and these high shine boots go so well against the trousers and my bag. My accents were all gold, including these new to die for cat eye sunnies from Topshop. I'm a sunglasses fiend and love the pinched in frames along with the reflective/mirror style that's popular at the moment. Of course I carried my suedette jacket for any strong winds.

You may have noticed there's no floral patterns-yet! but it's just a way for me to come out of the heavier darker colours and fabrics without throwing myself in the deep end

How do you transition to a spring wardrobe? x

The Birthday Outfit.

Topshop Shirt Dress | Zara Bag | Topshop Necklace (similar) | Stuart Weitzman Wedges

For my birthday, my boyfriend and I went to Burger & Lobster in Mayfair which is one of my favourite places to eat, although purely for the lobster. 

Despite a lot of cloud cover, it was a hot and humid day so i got my legs out in this blue/grey shirt dress from Topshop and paired it with my Stuart Weitzman wedges for a chic, smart casual look that i didn't get over heated in (especially on the tube which we were stuck on for a good leg of the day!).  I think the soft pastel colours are perfect for the summer.

The simple understated pieces like my fine chained multi row necklace, and mini bowling bag make such a simple outfit seem really expensive and dressed up. Harsh lines aren't always necessary, just key pieces for a classic look. I could easily dress this down swapping my wedges for flat gladiator sandals or those lace up flats that are on trend.
