Suede x Suede

I think I'm in love with the 'idea' of Autumn.

Even in London, it's still mild and the sun is still shining, yet I'm dreaming of cosy layers and pumpkin spice lattes. Since we aren't quite ready for Autumnal knits, I've found myself finding ways to add a touch of Autumn styling to some of my favourite summer pieces, such as these white wide leg trousers that I'm debuting today.

The outfit is quintesentially autumnal and effortlessly elegant. I've added a knitted T with stripes of Autumnal colours (and a fabulous price tag) and embellished with this stunning suede jacket.  Oh yes, the jacket. Possibly the most fabulous piece in my wardrobe this Autumn, it adds instant seventies glamour to any autumnal look - and another way to add more suede into my Autumn ensembles! The stylish finishing touches include these cat eye sunglasses and my tan handbag, as well as my new favourite necklace from Swarovski.

The Autumn Ensemble

Autumn weather simply demands for a pair of crisp denim jeans, and soft textures against the skin.

You know that feeling, on a chilly Autumnal morning - the desire to pull out your knits, plaids, scarves and every other layer you can find. The obsession with Autumn dressing begins with the perfect pair of denim skinnies, the pair that will become the staple piece for many Autumnal ensembles to come. Enter this pair which tick all the boxes; the fit is perfect (tight fitting) they don't stretch after just a few wears, and they were a steal at just �22. 

My quintessential Autumn outfit continues with my greatest fashion find of the season so far; this soft faux shearling waterfall gilet in a neutral brown shade, with an unbelievable price tag of under �30. Available in a light pink shade too, it adds an effortlessly chic finish to this outfit, as well as keeping in the warmth. A simple cotton blouse is a wardrobe essential. With the soft material, relaxed fit and rolled sleeves, this little number is yet another staple piece.

I'm still obsessed with my Chloe Faye dupe bag, perhaps one day i'll own the original, but for now? I can't stop reaching for this little beauty. Finishing the look is a pair of suede lace-up heels to add a touch of glamour to the ensemble.

As for the finer details, I chose my delicate Pandora ring and this All-Seeing-Eye necklace which is part of Swarovski's upcoming collection with Miranda Kerr.

Good morning from Italy!

This week has been quite surreal, just a few days ago I was deep in the bustle of London Fashion Week, soaking in the shows, the people and the clothes, and now I write this post from a lounge chair, overlooking the majestic Lake Garda - I'm here for some much needed relaxation!  

LFW is filled with so many inspiring aspects and this year I was so fortunate to have attended the shows of some of my favourite designers, as well as covering backstage beauty (be sure to follow the Vlogs on my YouTube channel here) and between dashing through shows I still somehow managed to steal a few moments to shoot some outfits for the blog, and this is my final LFW look. (Click here for my first look, and here for my second).

This outfit is more 'my style' than 'London Fashion Week style', but I kind of feel like I'm a little bit over getting dressed up for the street style snaps, dressing for someone else other than yourself. So I chose this feminine floaty pleated skirt - at under �50 it's one of those budget-friendly statement pieces that is my kind of wardrobe staple. The colour is described as 'natural' and in my eyes it almost alters depending on your outfit and situation - here for example I feel that it picks up a pinky hue. 

I styled it minimally with a grey marl T-shirt (every girl should own at least one of these) and my most practical and fashionable new bag - this gorgeous soft leather grey backpack. If you've not tried a backpack before, you won't fully be able to understand the sheer bliss and freedom of being hands free - a delicacy especially during fashion week, when you can barely manage to balance your phone, camera and show invitations in your hands.

The rest of my accessories and more details are listed below, enjoy! xo

A Humongous Summer Haul!

After disaster struck and my memory card wiped half the files for a video that was due to go up last Sunday, I was scratching my head for what I could film. And then I saw the shopping bags. Lots and lots of shopping bags. Unplanned it may be, but this haul video is a big 'un, so have a lil watch and let me know which pieces you love, and which I should send back!

SHOP THE HAUL

What are your favourite pieces?

Also, if you loved this video it would mean a lot to me if you would give it a thumbs up, and subscribe if you're new!

Suede & Stripes

I could tell you that this is the last #OOTD featuring suede for a while on the blog, but I'd be lying. I don't even feel bad for the suede overload because honestly, I love it!

The 70s trend that's around at the moment means fringing, suede materials, stripes and vintage silhouettes. I'm yet to brave the bell sleeve but this A Line silhouette is an easy way of bringing a 70s touch to your look. For a Summer outfit I'm rocking my favourite suede skirt by ASOS - it seems to go with everything, it's not too tight fitting either, making it on-trend but still comfy. I styled it with a block stripe crop top by Oasis (which is currently �10 in the sale! OMG!) and this larger than life handheld leather bag from ASOS - also a sale gem down from �80 to just �38. To give myself that little height boost that I need, I wore my favourite white sandals from Next, and added my signature jewellery.
