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!

Bringing Sixties Back

I am wearing;

Dress- Zara

Knee high boots- Aldo

Rings- Gallard Oblaine

The Sixties - an era my parents grew up in, and certainly a decade I wish I had experienced. The sixties were when The Beatles were born, the world was full of long haired hippies and beards. It was almost like the people who were living during the 1950's coiled up like a tight spring and then suddenly exploded during the 60's which introduced a different type of fashion community, hippies!  People felt more free and liberated and this reflected on there personal style, festivals such as Glastonbury & Woodstock attracted young free spirits floating around absorbing the music around them. The sixties have been making a huge come back on the catwalks, and this makes my heart warm. Knee high boots, short boxy dresses, bohemian floaty tops and head bands, the sixties are definitely making a come back and it doesn't look like its going to be making a swift exit anytime soon.  Edie Sedgwick and Cher were definitely some of the more influential woman during that time, its woman like these that I gravitate towards for outfit inspiration, them girls know how to dress. So here you have it my 60's inspired outfit, courtesy of Zara. Me & my photographer Iona thought it would be nice to mix things up a bit and add a vintage filter to this 60's blog post incase your wondering, Enjoy!

I am wearing;

ASOS- Velvet Kimono

Dress- Free People

Heels- Topshop

As soon as I bought this kimono me and Iona were really eager to shoot it, textures and vibrant colours always come out so well in the photos, they are also so fun to shoot. The kimono is a gorgeous velvet burnout with peacock feathers on, I love peacock feathers because it reminds me of my sternum tattoo you may have seen on my Instagram and the inspiration behind it. The Lace embroidered dress is from Free People (of course) I have worn it to a few festivals, it can be dressed up or down its beautiful. I've got lots of exciting content coming up for my blog, so keep following!

Happy Tuesday!
