SIMPLE STYLING

You just can’t beat simple styling! Monochrome has had my heart for as long as I can remember and what better to pair with monochrome than red. These delectable ankle boots have become my ultimate staple piece this Winter. Not only is the deep hue of red the perfect shade; the velvet material, the heel height and the square toe are all elements to die for and completely en trend. White shirts are fundamental for for any wardrobe, it just goes without saying! This smooth white silk shirt, embellished with black buttons and stunning cuff design is beyond perfect for this Winter. Paired with cropped black trousers where can you go wrong? Black trousers are killing it this Winter, on every street a fashionista is rocking them. I loved this pair because of the belt; allowing the waist to be drawn in creating a hourglass silhouette. With lashings of Mac’s Russian Rouge lipstick the outfit is complete. Yet another Zara obsessed outfit…EVERY ITEM.  The look is perfect for a Winter date, just the right mix between dressy and casual.

PRIMARK STUDDED SAVIOUR

Would you believe me if I told you these heels are £14?! YES £14!!! The last couple of months my love for Primark has been reignited. Primark is killing it in the current market; the release of their black biker jacket with fur detail was a definite winner against other retailers with identical styles. I have always had a soft spot for nude heels and as soon as I spied these in my local Primark I was astounded by the style. As an affordable store I couldn’t believe how expensive the shoes looked and felt almost reluctant to check out the price…beyond gobsmacked – only £14! Scouring the shoe for some sort of flaw I found nothing!!! The shoe is made up of a patent nude body with pointed toe, against a matte cage embellished with gold studs finished with a stiletto heel and a nude sole. The combination of textures, decor and height accumulates to form a killer heel. With likeness to the Valentino heel these shoes are bang on trend, countless other retailers are drawing inspiration from the notorious shoe brand also but in my opinion these are the winners. Pair with jeans, black or cream this winter to rock a striking look.

SLOGAN STYLE

It’s officially Autumn…the time of year for extensive walks and indecisive weather. Autumn is perhaps the most confusing season of all for fashion; with the onset of constant rain, yet the temperatures have a tendency to soar complicating the minds of the savviest fashionistas. The easiest place to start is searching for a resilient shoe. I’ve always loved Brogues, the sturdiness and masculine style express Parisian chic. My favourite aspect of these Brogues is in the incredible detail; the cream stitching, silver eyelets to frame the thick lace, the sheen of the black patent material and cream sole – all contributing to the striking aesthetic. Zara as a brand are taking us fashion lovers on a reflective journey through the zeitgeist of 2017 – a time of self-motivation and adoration; an important lesson especially in the twisted world of fashion. Zara’s use of this message is mirrored in the slogan on the lace; the thick cream ribbon printed with bold type ‘UNSTOPPABLE&AMBITIOUS’. The monochrome colour adds modernity to the classic brogue shape and is in-keeping with the sweeping trend of chunky statement laces. Paired with anything from blue jeans, black culottes or even imposing red trousers these shoes pack a punch and demand attention.

SUMMER BALL

There’s nothing better than a summer ball to sweep the exam stress under the carpet and let your hair down. Events where occasion dress can be taken to the next level are my favourite. Wearing a dress that is comfortable and takes minimal effort to catch attention is perfect for a summer ball. Comfort is essential to thoroughly embrace the evening. After hours and hours of endlessly scrolling through every online store for an outfit that would fit this criteria I discovered this white scuba ASOS dress. The scuba material is a stretchy material; the bodycon style hugged every curve perfectly. The angular, clean art deco style shape of the top half added a theatrical contrast against the plain bottom of the dress, contributing the fashion edge that I adore. The top of the dress has a trapunto technique forcing the splayed shape to stand rigid, adding to the chic and stylish aesthetic. The midi length is perfect for a formal event, while the middle front slit provided a sassy sharpness. I chose a gold statement earring to accessorise the outfit, the earrings have an eccentric, outlandish style with flamboyant patterns and tassels that compliment the stark colour of the dress. I wore my citrine stilettos and clutch; the citrine colour is unique and rare, something I look for in an outfit. The unusual choice of colour was noted by many at the event as a trendy, complimentary tone. For me an outfit isn’t completed for a special event without a statement red lip. I used the NYX matte lip cream in the shade Amsterdam. The red tone flattered my complexion and worked well against the neutral tones of my eye make-up, as well as providing long wear.

TWISTED MULES

S/S17 is all about meticulous fashion; subtle detailing is key this season to create the classiest look. These white twisted mule trainers from Topshop are perfectly in keeping with the detailed trend. The twisted top of the mules would compliment plain denim, while the bright white colour creates a summer vibe, contrasting against early Spring and Summer tans. The mule shape allows extra comfort in the summer, also giving more protection than a flip flop style. These are a fab twist on traditional mules and trainers, creating a contemporary trendy visual.
