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!

Last Thursday evening Free People kindly invited me to come and join them for their pre London Fashion Week event to promote their new AW15 range, I was thrilled to receive the invite because as you know (if you've been following my blog for a while) they are one of my favourite brands.

The event was held at the lovely Dry By Salon, I stepped off of hustle and bustle of Regent Street and into what felt like what I can only describe as..Heaven. I was showered with complimentary manicures, champagne, canapés and a beautiful blow dry. Every inch of the Dry By Salon screamed luxury, from the marble tables to the impeccable service, I felt extremely lucky to be apart of it all.

One of my favourite parts of the evening was the postcards that were made by Dry By Salon and FP, for your blow dry you had a choice of 5 different girls with 5 different looks, it was amazing how even the drawings reflected the brand so well, each look was slightly different but still had that beautiful bohemian feel to them. I really noticed the amount of effort Free People had gone into making sure every detail of the evening was tailor made for us and how they intertwined the brand into such an enjoyable evening.

I was introduced to the lovely Lisa the Free People PR Manager who took me downstairs to the AW15 gallery, I discovered the range to be littered with gorgeous delicate fabrics, embroidery, heavy embellishment, snake skin shoes and suede accessories..any girls dream. The whole evening exceeded my expectations and made me love Free People even more than I already do!

Boho Meets Chic - SVW Collection

Jumper- Free People

Skirt- SVW

Shoes- Primark

As much as I j'adore the Bohemian style, theres a time and a place and sometimes in the office (sadly) you have to reign it in and alter your look to fit in, in a professional environment. So here you have it, my work wear edit. My ideal work wear would be chic meets boho..which is why I mixed my usual casual pieces with SVW in this unique collaboration. This skirt is the black version of the skirt I have previously blogged about, figure hugging and fabulous i'd wear this skirt all day long. I paired it with my Free People Jumper, and my black pointed heels, because who doesn't love a good pointed heel. 

Top 5 Boots for AW15 You Should Buy

I am in that phase where I'm clasping onto the last few sun rays of Summer when I should really be starting to build up my Winter wardrobe. However, whilst browsing the high street recently I discovered a few boots that I have mentally added to my wish list for payday. Every girl should have at least 5 shoes each season they can hop between. So here they are in all there glory, click the 'Shop Me' for the link.

I recently met with Sophie V Webb, designer and owner of new label SVW. Her range launches mid October for those of you wondering and its simply..fabulous. White has never been a colour I have predominantly gone for when I have been shopping for clothes. However if you have a statement piece for example my purple feather print bag in the above images, white is a great colour to wear in order to make things pop. It kind of stands as a canvas for colour where as black (as much as I love it) can often drown an outfit from its colour sometimes. This skirt is from SVW it stands for the designers name (Sophie Victoria Webb) check out her label if you haven't already. The skirt is made from a soft stretchy material but its very substantial and hugs you in (which is exactly what I need right now). I paired the skirt with my 'go to' Topshop heels and my 'go to' Weekend Tee. 

I have lots of exciting blog content in the pipe line, including my LFW event with Free People for their AW15 range so keep your eyes peeled!

Top & Choker- Topshop

Jeans- Waven

Shoes- ASOS

Chokers for days, excluding those black stretchy plastic ones, they are criminal. I love this outfit, the inspiration for this came from the hippy chic trend that has stemmed from the boho vibes we were seeing all of SS15. This top is actually a co-ord with shorts but I love wearing them separately, the top is such an easy thrown on. These jeans I can't seem to get enough of, they are so versatile and comfy. Even though this outfit is loose fitting, the choker necklace makes it a little promiscuous, which I quiet like!

NYFW Highlights

This week I've been following New York Fashion Week across Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram religiously wishing I was there and absorbing outfit inspiration. I decided to collate some of my favourite looks from designers, bloggers and editors I liked in particular, 

Enjoy!
