Villanelle has the crown for the queen of spring/summer fashion. Her audacious, arrogant style is ironic due to her job title…yet that fact makes it more attractive. Riding on a motorcycle to her next mission, the confident anti-heroine heroine steps off in denim shorts, a ruffle shirt and biker boots; iconic! The simplest combination, yet it looks wonderfully tasteful.

Channelling my inner Villanelle (style wise, not personality wise!) I styled my relaxed Zara blue denim shorts, with my Mumma’s vintage chiffon, cream ruffle shirt with pussy bow and off-white Gortex Converse boots. The chicness of the tight-fit of the shorts, combined with the loose ruffle shirt billowing out is my favourite look for SS/20.

Frill shorts are a must have for your Summer wardrobe this year; this ASOS red pair is just perfect. The frill short style is particularly flattering and can spice up a white crochet top. Crochet is huge this year in fashion, Pretty Little Thing have killed it with this white cropped crochet top with tiered frill statement sleeves; the ultimate vacation piece. The striking block red of the shorts adds a pop of bold colour, complimentary against a summer glow. Wear with a red lip and tan accessories to create an impeccable look. Here I’m wearing ‘Lady Balls’ by Too Faced; the finest red matte lip cream and Valentino inspired sandals with gold studs; a killer yet comfy shoe. Finally, paired with my classic Zara frilly bucket bag and white ASOS tassel earrings the outfit is complete. The look is an essential to achieve the hot ‘vacay’ aesthetic.

My go to shoes at the moment are these Zara Biker Boots…they go with everything! At £89.99 the boots are not cheap however the real leather material and quality are definitely price worthy. The detail on the boots is exquisite with rows of pearl decorated strips with buckle fastening, silver stud detail on the back, chunky sole and a lace up style. Not only did they survive Berlin, where I walked miles everyday, they are also extremely comfortable and incredibly stylish. It’s an awkward time of year for fashion; the Spring/Summer18 styles are hitting the high street and with typical British weather you cannot predict when you can rock your new styles. These boots are perfect for temperamental weather. Here I styled them with blue jeans (Zara), a black ribbed top with pearl shoulder detail (Zara), cropped cream jacket and a black baker boy hat (H&M). The pearl embellishment on the boots compliments the cream of the fur as well as matching the pearl embellishment on the simple black top. These boots will carry me through the summer too, adding a grungy look to a feminine summer outfit. The best part about these boots – an ingenious back zip to allow ease in putting on and removing the shoe instead of the struggle of tying and buckling each time. Overall an INSANE buy.

FASHION WEEK

London Fashion Week 16th – 20th February and London Fashion Week Festival 22nd – 25th February are the biggest events, not to be missed by avid fashion followers. However, there is intense pressure to deliver an insanely chic outfit. It is essential to style a classy outfit that is fashion forward. You cannot fail with a statement trouser and polka dots are the pattern this season … with this in mind, for Berlin Fashion Week, I co-ordinated this combination of Black extreme palazzo trousers, a black and white polka dot shirt with balloon sleeves and tie waist, red fur and dark red sock boots. I accessorised with a black baker boy hat and a polka dot bag. With these fresh and fashionable pieces I wore my signature red lip. The fundamental quality is that you feel confident in your outfit.

On another note Fashion Fans I urge you to visit Berlin, especially in Fashion Week! Although the German festival has not yet become as huge as London/Paris/New York, the events I attended were invaluable to my fashion learning. Fashion Tech and the Ethical Fashion show opened my eyes to the future of fashion and the importance of changing our ways for the better of the planet; vital information best fed through industry talks. Berlin on the whole is an incredibly vibrant city full of mesmerising Street Art alongside quaint/archaic architecture. The city is a key shopping location for both luxury in KaDeWe and concept stores such as Bikini Berlin. Concept stores are the future; the insanity of fast fashion has converted fashion desires to constant ‘wants’ making consumers forget the importance to experience the buzz of shopping. Bikini Berlin provides a healthy mix of stores both independent and chain brands, food stores to cater to any wants, while an area provides an exquisite bar and swing lounge area. A place to stimulate all senses and bring enjoyment back to shopping experiences.
