AUTUMN POWER DRESSING

Autumn suiting is a sure way to stand out! Whether you’re going to work, lunch or for day-drinks a suit is an edgy option and can be styled to ‘suit’ any occasion! Masculine chic to its fullest. When I wear this H&M x Giuliva Heritage collaborative collection suit I feel powerful. The single-breasted camel twill jacket has a dramatic wide lapel and feminine aesthetic, finished with tortoise shell decorative buttons and a lavish striped lining. The ankle-length twill tailored trousers fit like a dream. As I have previously said my height makes trouser shopping a strain, but this shape is truly perfect. H&M collaborations are incredible; they team up with a luxury company to produce more accessible products. You can really feel and see the difference in quality in this collection. The ecru calf-length coat made with Italian premium wool is refined personified; the wide lapels, deep pockets and tie-belt details are dreamy. I styled a Zara shirt bodysuit and my father’s grey twill tie for the ultimate mannish vibe. The Zara camel felt fedora and tan leather belt accessorise the suit. This look is utterly Voguish; an autumn-must-have style.

POWERFUL PINK

Powerful pink, oversized puff sleeve and a unique neckline; this top is the perfect sassy style. Bubblegum pink looks insane against white, here I styled the top with white shorts to minimise distraction from the gorgeous piece. The cropped length combined with the oversized sleeve is extremely flattering. The neckline has fastenings if wanted, but here I wore the top undone for a more casual look. Tan braid mules look incredible against the popping pink and white.

GIRL IN GREEN

Green is just divine, especially this ivy green embroidered dress. The one shoulder accent against the midi length and waist belt is a unique combination. The flared skirt and chest frill and off-white embroidery pattern are beautiful details. I wore gold tie-ankle shoes, which tie in perfectly against the green. A dress of dreams.

BLUE FLORAL SUMMER

I just can’t get enough of Zara at the moment! I have MANY more blogs to come with mostly Zara clothing, I’m just obsessed. Now, since I was a little girl I have LOVED a baby blue and pink colour mix; it stems from a little light blue summer top with pink flowers that I wore when I was younger, I felt so cool when I wore it (bless lil Mads). Forward 10 years and here I am sporting a Zara baby blue and pink floral summer dress. The ruched bodice and frill detailing are so precious, while the mini length and heart neckline adds a sprinkle of sass. Not only is does the ruching give the dress ample stretch and fits tight to my best features, but it also adds great detailing. Ideal for lunching and brunching or for a Summer cocktail. I wore off-white heeled sandals here, but tan or white sliders would look perfect too.

PINK SATIN & BOWS

I always love pink, but this bubblegum pink shade is extra beautiful. This ASOS dress combines the bubblegum pink with satin to create the most darling design. The midi length, loose flowing skirt, long sleeve, unique neckline, cut out back and bow tie back feature forms a gorgeous aesthetic. The distinctive cowl neck and layered shoulder fabric gives a vintage look to the modern dress. I adore a bow as you all know! This oversized bow tie gives a decorative layer to the plain design. White tie-ankle sandals and a blush make-up look complete the pretty in pink vibe.

OHPOLLY RED SUIT

You cannot go wrong with a powerful red suit. Female suiting is a favourite style of mine, but I rarely find suit trousers that fit correctly or look long enough. This OhPolly suit is a head turner, the cropped blazer length, flared leg and bright red colour make a flawless co-ord. I wore tan Stradivarius braided mules with the suit to give a neutral contrast against the popping red.

COCKTAIL NIGHT!

Cocktail night pending! Since the lockdown has eased I haven’t yet grabbed myself a cocktail but…I have planned an outfit for when the time comes. I cannot tell you how long I have been searching for the perfect straight jean. All I know is, it’s been a LONG search. Trying on jeans has to be the WORST item to haul on and off, I’ve been to countless stores even LEVI’S, but I had no luck. On a whim I ordered these River Island straight denim jeans from ASOS. Finally, I had found a pair that fit the leg well, however the waist was too big. Problem solved with my trusty double-sided red/black Coach belt.

With the jean and belt sorted I knew I wanted a dressy yet classy top. This OhPolly cropped blazer top is an eye-catching piece. The shoulder pads and cropped length combine to give a flattering shape. I love the pristine, crisp white against the casual denim. I matched the red leather belt with the Topshop saddle bag and Too Faced matte red lip. Stradivarius tan braided mules finish the look.
