What am I wearing;

Top-Urban Outfitters

Jeans- Waven

Shoes- TK Maxx

This weekend I had my two favourite people down from Manchester, Evie and Sasha. I met these two northern gems while I was studying Fashion a few years ago. Back then I didn't know who I was, and to an extent I still don't but at least I have a better idea. I remember frog marching into my first lecture at The Fashion Retail Academy feeling 100% confident with what I was wearing, I quickly realised how much I had to learn about styling an outfit up. But, like everything in life practise makes perfect, and it takes a while to know your own body and know what you suit and  what to avoid wearing. I also cared to much what people use to think, which put a cap on my style, these days things are different. Keep watching this space to see my shoot with Free People!

That Bohemian Flare

Monday- we meet again. I thought I would start the week with these vibrant Flares from Zara. These caught my attention as soon as I walked into the store. The Print is gorgeous and paired with a slouchy white top its the perfect outfit whether the sun is out or not. The reason why I like these flares are because they are wide through out the length of the trouser leg, setting them aside from every other flare which tends to hug the thighs the higher up the leg and then flare out at the bottom. The earings are from Topshop, the purple stone in the earings gives the outfit that little fleck of colour as the outfit is quiet bottom heavy in colour with the printed trouser. The trousers are quiet long so I put on my trusted pair of seventies platforms from ASOS.

Denim Days

Double denim use to be a crime, now a days people are more adventurous with their style and are willing to try new things. What I like about denim is that you can wear it during any season of the year, styled correctly. The patch work skirt is really unusual and the light denim patch on the back blends in well with the washed blue denim shirt. Both skirt and Top are from Zara, shock. Don't worry I have some exciting brands I am looking to show case for future outfit posts. This was by far the comfiest outfit I have posted to date, the shirt is really good quality. Now that we are transitioning from Spring to Summer, outfit choices are becoming more challenging because you never know when its safe to get your legs out! I paired the outfit with my gorgeous Aldo Knee high slouchy suede boots, add a handbag of your choice and your good to go!

Orange Is The New Black

Well I don't know about you but the weekend has wiped me out! So I thought I'd throw a nice casual outfit on the blog today, something simple, comfy, and easy to put together. Orange is the Marmite of the colour spectrum, to me anyway. I don't feel like I've ever really appreciated it until now, styled correctly orange can really make (or break) an outfit. I have to admit when styling an outfit, orange has never been top of my priority list but for some reason this top has converted me, I can now confidently say I am a lover for orange. The top is from ASOS who also stock it in black, I have both colours because I love it so much and its just so dam versatile. I've paired the orange wrap top with a ripped mom jean I purchased from a vintage store last year, I watched a youtube video on how to rip your own jeans, and there I was with a kitchen knife hacking away at my newly purchased vintage find. The jean is quiet loose fitting but because the top is so low cut it needed toning down a little. To break the outfit up I've added in my leather Topshop belt with a silver buckle, the bag is also Topshop and adds texture to the outfit, its half smooth leather and half suede with a snake skin affect on it. The chunky heel is from Urban Outfitters from last year, I've had them a while now but they just don't seem to age...The triangle bra under my orange top is from ASOS, its a beautiful set, you can't really see it from the images so I've popped an image of the set below for you to see!

Flash Me Your Flares

Happy Bank Holiday weekend guys! I always just assume its going to be sunny in London on a bank holiday, never the less, let the drinking commence! but firstly... Zara- probably my favourite retailer this year to date, they have really done their homework with the SS15 catwalks, well done Zara.. you get a gold star and a jelly baby. I walked into the Bond Street flagship store to find a sea of suede, tassels, creams, whites, textures, coords and many other beautiful pieces. Without realising it the whole outfit was shot head to toe in Zara clothing, Keano.

Flares are practically their own trend this season, they are extremely flattering if your tall but don't seem to work if your not that blessed with height. I have 3 pairs now and intend on growing my small collection in my wardrobe. Zara came up with the idea of making one of their patterned flares into a coord (risky business) but in fact the top and the trousers marry each other very well. I had a lot of fun shooting this outfit, we found an adorable court yard in Chelsea, where we decided to shoot. The beautiful suede tasseled jacket I bought from Zara over christmas, its perfect for spring the suede is fairly thin so its not over bearing when you wear it on a hot spring day. Have a good weekend, next post will be up on Monday see you then! 

Happy blogging x
