Bringing the drama! A statement blouse is a must-have piece in your wardrobe. This ASOS DESIGN smock shirt has a chic oversized fit, wrap front with tie fastening and stunning blouson sleeves. This piece works with almost any choice of bottoms, but I prefer combining the top with a plain block colour. Here I styled the blouse with a white denim mini-skirt and head-turning metallic gold Gucci platforms. Layer an autumnal coat to counteract the chilly wind.
Bottomless brunch to a classy cocktail evening; the return of evening style. The exhilaration of trying booking the best restaurant/bar around is a stress that I can definitely deal with! Peeling myself out of relax gear and into this dress of dreams is a revelation. This Zara metallic silver cowl neck number is a keeper! The loose fit compliments the ‘mini’ length, while the cowl neck adds a fashionable twist. The low cowl effect and tie neck creates drama in the back. Paired with my Gucci GG gold heeled loafer and gold falling leaf earrings the look is complete. Now…PASS THE CHAMPAGNE!
The rise of the denim midi-skirt. Being a tall girl, skirts and dresses can cause issues in the Spring/Summer months, but trending this year is the midi-skirt – the perfect solution to my long-leg issues! This ASOS midi denim skirt is a killer piece, the length, colour, material and tie-waist detailing combine to create the most figure flattering skirt on the market. Here I styled the skirt with both a simple ecru ribbed crop top and a tucked off-white sweat, finished with high-top trainers for a relaxed look. The skirt could be dressed up too – a tulle or silk crop top with heeled sandals would create a fab dressy option. Stylish, chic & simple.
@larocheposayuki is my new lifesaver! After my lovey friend Olivia kindly replied to my recent skincare routine story questions with her regime recommending the brand I thought I’d give La Roche Posay a try. After using the cleansing face wash, clarifying lotion and anti-blemish moisturiser for a couple of days and I’m already in love. Any blemishes instantly dried up…I MEAN INSTANTLY. The products smell amazing, feel totally refreshing and the anti-blemish treatments are incredibly reliable. My Mumma even commented on how radiant and glowing my skin was. Since the beginning of lockdown I have rarely worn make up so the effect of wearing more make up again and the heat has made my skin mildly problematic, but I can already tell that this regime is god tier! The higher price tag is warranted for the stunning quality and the quantity of product is extensive. If you’re looking for a new skincare regime you MUST try these products.
This vibrant orange Zara limited edition coat is a statement piece to say the least. I adore the popping orange colouring, so on trend for 2020 as seen in the Prada SS20 catwalk. The removable gilet layered pockets have a military style, totally contrasting against the trendy body of the coat which has a traditional aesthetic. The 100% Cotton material looks and feels expensive, the quality of this item is top notch. I simply paired the look with Stradivarius tan braid mules.
Working out has never looked so good. After all the goal of fitness is to look good; that’s why this OhPolly Bo and Tee workout set is so good. I usually struggle with legging length due to having super long legs, also most leggings are awfully see-through! These knock spots off of other styles I have tried; they have a double thickness so there is no transparency and the length of the bottoms were pretty good, especially considering OhPolly length is usually hit and miss for me as a tall girl.
I adore the rocking red colour, it’s super bright and encouraging. The wrap over style of the top made me feel secure while it looked super stylish. I enjoy going for a speed walk so this set is perfect when you want to look nice but feel suitable for exercise. The cropped length of the top is complimented greatly by the high waisted legging. Now, I must get back to the gym for a spin class because this set is so beautiful.
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.
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.
The perfect green jean! This outfit is Zara from head-to-toe. Green is a great summer colour; these jeans are a great alternative to the classic blue denim. Green and white is a late-summer must. These jeans are a great item to bag right now, summer will begin to draw out and they’re an ideal more covered option. The white ruched, bardot, cross-over top has an idyllic cropped length to cut in at the waist, which looks super flattering. Accessorised with the canvas grab bag with brown leather edging and brown leather sliders with pearl décor, the classy look is complete.
