CHECK-MATE

I had my eye on this dreamy & Other Stories jumper for a LONG time. At the original price of an eye watering £85 although I adored the style I was hesitant…until the jumper appeared in the sale for £56. Knowing how long I had yearned for this style I crumbled.

I thought the jumper style was so unique and classy. Having ordered the jumper in size M I was concerned the jumper would size-up small…how wrong could I be! & Other Stories sizing is stunning; the jumper has an oversized look, which looks incredibly classy. The alpaca blend material feels luxurious and has an expensive look. The grey and cream check is a great transitional colour-way; ideal for Winter into Spring.

This Zara cream cargo style mini-skirt and cream Mango chunky boots compliment the cream in the check jumper and give a young aesthetic to the outfit. If you’ve followed my blog for a while you will know I ADORE a pop of red. Here I accessorised with my red Coach belt, Topshop red saddle bag and Gucci red lip. Check Mate!

CHELSEA PEERS ZEBRA PRINT PYJAMAS

I was gifted these Chelsea Peers pjs for Christmas and oh my…I could live in them! They’re beyond chic and totally appropriate for going out in, right?! The zebra print is unique and playful, monochrome is my go-to. I’m quite picky with pjs as I cannot stand when they pull or feel tight; no-one wants to wake up in the middle of the night to your PJ bottoms half twisted and crazily uncomfortable. Although I love the idea of silk pyjamas, I don’t like the lack of movement; this pair is 95% Polyester & 5% Elastane. The material has a wonderful stretch and feels luxuriously silky smooth. The pyjama designs are genius; extremely tasteful. The Chelsea Peers brand was created due to a gap in the market for luxury lounge/sleepwear – ‘The loungewear you can do nothing in, but also wear to host a party. Alas, Chelsea Peers was born!’. While we are still currently in a lockdown in the UK, treat yourself to a pair – it’s essential!

SUPPORT LOCAL – ORGANZA WHITE MIDI SKIRT

Back in early September I went on a staycation to Wells, as I explored the small boutique shops on the ‘sale rail’ I discovered this stunning white organza midi skirt from Miss Sugar. Shopping local has never been so important – if you’re visiting Wells a visit ‘Simply Norfolk’ 65 Staithe St is a must! Midi skirts are a stylish item that any trendy individual should own. As the weather was turning I instantly thought of my Grey Zara cropped jumper with puff sleeves and square neckline. Finished off with the Zara tan leather belt and cream Mango fashion wellies the final look has a sassy, yet sweet vibe, perfect for a warmer Winter day. When I first developed the concept for my fashion blog back in 2016, my first ever styled outfit for the blog was a midi white organza skirt and grey jumper. Fast-forward to 2020 and I am still a fan of the white skirt/grey jumper combo. Grey and white is an ultimate favourite of mine, it just always works!

DREAMY ZARA KNITS

Zara is my treasure chest for the latest trends and statement pieces. A knit skirt and jumper are my ultimate go-to for A/W each year. The cream midi chunky knit skirt fits in all the right places, its thickness gives it an expensive feel. The cropped charcoal extra thick jumper is my favourite autumn purchase, I’m totally obsessed with this elite style. I always find that cropped jumpers and tops are never cropped enough and fit at an awkward length with high-waisted skirts and trousers. This Zara knit is the perfect length! The turtle neck is cosy and the super stylish turn up cuff combine to create an effortlessly chic piece. Of-course I paired the look with my Mango fashion wellies and Gucci bag. Feminine chic personified!
