Feelin' Shirty














After starting at a new Internship last week I quickly learnt that I needed to update my wardrobe. I realised that I was seriously lacking tops that weren't completely inappropriate, apart from on a night out, or tops that weren't classified as oversized slouchy t-shirts, which I do seriously live in most of the time. I found this gorgeous embellished shirt from Zara last week and fell in love. I have always thought shirts were unflattering and reminded me too much of a school uniform, especially after being forced to wear them for over 15 years.... The pearl detail on the back of the shirt and delicate pearl buttons transform it from being just a boring, plain light blue shirt. I've styled it by tucking it into a pair of skinny high waisted black jeans with a H&M chunky silver belt (do I actually wear anything else...) I also think that this style of top is very versatile, I've changed the look from a simple and easy every-day work outfit to a classic and sophisticated evening look (in my opinion of course) by throwing it together with a white, faux crocodile skin style clutch bag, a couple of dainty silver chokers along with a pair of black sock boots.

P.S - I shot these pictures during storm Doris, that is dedication to the blog right there. You should have seen some of the outtakes.. 

SPORTY SPICE












 I am a big fan of the sporty/casual activewear trend, it means that I can appear to look energetic, sporty and as if I am off to the gym, but in reality I am just feeling incredibly lazy or food is involved (the most probable reason). I've paired some original black 3-stripes Adidas leggings (which have suddenly become very fashionable) along with a grey marl slogan cropped sweat, 'west coast', with a classic black bomber jacket thrown on top.  These simple yet stylish jumpers are in all the high street stores at the moment and they're definitely something I could happily live in for the rest of my life. This one I have styled up is from Brandy Melville and it has to be the softest thing I own, and that's even after washing it multiple times (also who knew you can now buy BM online in the UK?!.. goodbye ££) These types of outfits are ideal for staying warm and comfty but looking somewhat fashionable and on-trend at the same time.

50 SHADES OF GREY









If I had 5 minutes to decide what I could wear for a spontaneous night out this is 100% what I go for, a comfortable and easy yet stylish outfit. I've paired some simple black skinny jeans with a chunky silver toned belt and a bodysuit, thrown together with a pair of matching grey toned lace-up stilettos. Bodysuits are one of my favourite things to wear, I found this gorgeous, satin and strappy hammered silver/metallic style one from Missguided recently, definitely my favourite shop when looking for affordable & stylish going out pieces. You will have also noticed that I am wearing this beautiful diamante rose gold and silver encrusted choker A LOT, River Island have such a great selection and this has now become the key component to any evening outfit I style.

SIMPLE SHIRT STYLE









Firstly, let's state the obvious, I am wearing the same Missguided boots AGAIN, but I can't help it, they seem to make every outfit look better than any other shoes I own and frankly I just really like them, definitely worth purchasing. For the past few years I have been trying to find the perfect shirt dress, I have always loved the look of an oversized shirt with some black statement boots, glammed up with a clutch and a gorgeous sparkly choker to make the perfect going out look, especially on those nights when the dress code is smart-casual (what does that even mean?) I find with this style of dress, which is made to look oversized, I need to size down from my regular otherwise it can often look like I am wearing an unflattering, shapeless sack, something that has definitely happened with similar types of dresses that I have tried, not ideal. I'm also thinking ahead, this piece will be perfect for summer days when we have warmer weather, wishful thinking I know, paired with my white high-top converse for a simple laid-back look, the perfect wardrobe staple.
