A DAY IN THE LIFE






I decided to do this outfit shoot a little differently, a more chilled follow me around rather stand in the same place and pose (actually....maybe still a little posed). Myself and my BFF, other-half and photographer ,otherwise known as Maddie, spent a lovely day in a quaint village nearby called Shere, most commonly recognized as the place where The Holiday was filmed. It is definitely very picturesque and quintessential, it has a little stream running through the village that is surrounded by rustic pubs and charming thatched cottages. 


 Surprisingly the weather was lush, it definitely made me excited for the arrival of Spring, however it did make shooting any type of half-decent picture much harder, attempting not to get a ridiculous sun glare or a member of the wedding-party from the local church in the background of all of my shots was a fun challenge.



Obviously, any sign of a bit of sun 
then ice cream has to be involved, homemade mint choc chip and white chocolate to be exact.....dreamy. 






Onto the important bit now, the outfit. I have been loving wearing my Asos black tie-up cullotes at the moment, they're so affordable, about 10x comfier than jeans and look much more stylish.I tucked in this grey marl branded Topshop tee with cut-out neck detail with my classic black Topshop leather jacket thrown over my shoulders. I must add I have had this jacket for yeaaaars now & it is still my go-to, it comes in handy with every outfit I style.

Dressing For Spring



 




 


The amazing team at KoKo Couture kindly gifted me this faux-suede, black envelope clutch bag  recently and I couldn't wait to style it. My favourite style of accessories are simple, classic pieces that can fit with any outfit so this was perfect for me. I am a big fan of any bag that is versatile so the fact this comes with a detachable metal chain strap, meaning that it can be transformed from a practical daytime bag into a stylish clutch on a night out is a big plus. I  also have to mention that this bag fits all my everyday essentials in perfectly, even my purse which seems to hoard everything (enough about the bag now, I know) 

Finally, Spring has slowly started to arrive and  I have noticed that it has definitely been reflected in my current outfit choices, any sign of a bit of sun and warm weather and I have ditched all my chunky knits. This gorgeous white blouse with sheer floaty bell sleeves, a trend that is in every high-street shop right now, is the perfect Spring transition piece. I've thrown it together with a pair of classic blue skinny jeans and a simple pair of black pointed court shoes, which I may add were only £10 in Primark....

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.
