CHELSEA PEERS RETRO PALM PRINT PJS – PR PRODUCT

Firstly, thank you to Chelsea Peers for sending me this to-die-for Retro Palm Print Kimono Shirt & Wide Leg Trousers Set (PR Product). I’ve loved this company and their totally chic PJ selection for sometime; I posted about their zebra PJ set back in Feb 2021.

This striking PJ set certainly lives up to its website description:

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

  • Silky & elegant satin fabric
  • Statement retro-inspired palm print
  • Kimono evening shirt
  • Flattering wide leg trousers with elasticated waist
  • 94% Polyester, 6% Elastane Satin

You can wear the Kimono alone with a white underwear set (as styled below) or along with the flowing matching trousers. The retro pattern is bright, playful and unique – perfect for a PJ party.

The fit is faultless – the trousers are a great length and the elasticated waist provides comfort while the kimono with the tie-detail draws in the waist yet still is incredibly comfortable.

I would also recommend the kimono for over a bikini on holiday or over shorts and a crop top for a daytime look – the possibilities are endless!

They also sell this unique, playful print in a swimsuit and men’s swim shorts (linked below).

Plus, Chelsea Peers plants one tree for every order placed, which is a great for the environment too!

Maddison XOXO

SATIN SKIRT & BLAZER

I had been desperate to wear my H&M midi silk skirt for as long as I can remember, but had no occasion that was appropriate; so when I was invited to a Christening it was the first item to spring to mind. I wanted something formal, yet chic and you cannot beat a black and white outfit with a pop of dusty pink. 

Knits are a great pairing with satin skirts, but for an occasion I wanted something more dressy. My black H&M double breasted blazer with gold button detailing was a must. The wide lapels and button formation are just beautiful. I chose a white satin crop top to peep out of the blazer; giving an overall elegant aesthetic. I finished the whole look with dainty dusty pink satin heels with ankle strap.

CHECK SUITING

This cropped blazer by COLLUSION with cropped length, check design and shoulder pad detailing is my GO-TO blazer this A/W. I paired the blazer with relaxed, low-rise loose blue jeans and a brown satin lingerie-look crop top. The outfit nips in and fits in all the right places! I finished off the look with my tan Topshop cowboy boots; ideal for lunch/relaxed dinner or browsing the shops. 

For a more work appropriate killer-look the matching trousers complete the set. The wide leg trouser is perfect for work; comfortable and chic. These COLLUSION trousers look great drawn in with a belt; I styled here with my signature Gucci belt.

DIOR EYESHADOW PALETTE OF DREAMS

Earlier this year my gorgeous friend gifted me the most PERFECT Dior eyeshadow palette. The palette is the Dior 5 COULEURS COUTURE – SUMMER DUNE COLLECTION LIMITED EDITION Eyeshadow palette – couture eyes. The palette is extremely pigmented in luminous gold and copper shades. The shades are perfect for Autumn/Winter glam, while I also double the pink shade as a blusher. The set comes with a wide sponge applicator, a thin sponge applicator, a blending brush and an angled shading brush, which fit within the compact; ideal for topping up during the day. This will 100% be my go-to palette! Thank you Chloë! ❤

THE ULTIMATE BLAZER

A black blazer is an ESSENTIAL piece for any wardrobe. Always on trend, always chic! This H&M blazer has wide lapels, gold buttons and a flattering tailored fit. A classic look I have always loved is a white shirt dress with black accessories; here I added heart print tights, black court heels and the trendy blazer. Finally, a classic red lip and I’m out the door!
