Polka Dot Black & White

A Polka Dot Black And White Outfit Hey everyone! I’m finally sharing an outfit that I shot recently! I loved how these turned out and it’s always wonderful to shoot at one of the Crescents here in the city of Bath! They make an amazing backdrop for outfits that are simplistic. I have a few more outfits to share with you over the coming weeks too, and I love all of them. How are you all anyway? I just thought I’d ask before I get to the outfit details I’m sharing! I was wearing a Pretty Little Thing Polka Dot Top, which I paired with my American Eagle Skinny Jeans, an ASOS Western Belt, my Missguided White Heels, and I finished it off with my Louis Vuitton Alma BB in Fuchsia. I also added in some of my Daisy London jewellery, to accessorise the look in a simple way. I always love mixing black and white together as I think it’s one of the most classic combinations, but then throwing in a pop of colour in the form of a bag, really brightens the entire look up! This top is super affordable and I love the wrap detail that it has to it, it’s extremely flattering! And these are my new favourite black jeans too! I’m always reaching for them as they’re perfect! I did also share a funny walking fail of this outfit on my Instagram reels (see it here) where I tripped down one of the cracks in the pavement, ha ha. What do you think of this outfit? I always love your opinions! And as a side…

Leather Jacket Outfits – Dress For Any Occasion

When it comes to leather jacket styles, it’s one of the most versatile pieces you can wear. Whether events, gatherings, concerts, and many more, there’s always a leather jacket outfit you’ll come to love. It gives you that edgy look with a touch of chic and is flattering on anyone, no matter their body shape. I absolutely live in leather jackets regularly and can never get enough of them, so I thought I would share some of the different outfits you can wear with your leather jacket to put a cool ensemble together. Cropped Leather Jacket With A Printed Dress You want to choose a print according to your body shape when styling your jacket with a printed dress. If you are petite, go for smaller prints like polka dots or small patterns, as this will not overwhelm you. If you are curvy or taller, opt for larger prints like florals and paisley. You should try to avoid dresses that have prints that are too tiny or too large. You don’t want anything drawing attention away from your leather jacket outfit! Your leather jacket outfits can be styled in a variety of ways. For example, if you have a fitted white t-shirt underneath the top layer of the dress (this is layering and pretty on trend right now), then opt for the skirt half of the dress to have a longer length, and slimmer fit, so that it doesn’t look bulky under the jacket. You can play around with the proportions and find something that works for you. Biker Jacket Outfit With Boots A biker jacket is an all-time classic.…

A New Health Diagnosis & Treatment Plan

Hey everyone, it’s been a little while since I gave you all an update on everything, and honestly it’s been hard finding the strength to sit down and actually write this blog post. Mostly because I don’t even know where to begin, but also because I’ve been in a state of overwhelm for a while and it’s been difficult processing my own emotions on top of trying to find the words to make them make sense. It’s stuff that goes through my head at night and doesn’t allow me to sleep properly, but I do know that when I share and get things out in the open, it’s a weight lifted and it helps in recovering, so I feel ready now to put my fingers to the keyboard and type what flows out. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS – Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. For those of you that don’t know what it is, it’s a condition that causes cysts on the ovaries and an imbalance of hormones. I produce way too much testosterone, my estrogen is very low, and my prolactin levels in my brain are very high. My TSH levels for my thyroid came back as elevated too, but we are re-checking and dealing with that in a few months time. I’ve had issues with acne since I started puberty, and I’ve had cysts on my ovaries for many years, but within the last 6 months or so, I would say my symptoms have started getting a lot worse. My acne has flared up to be really bad, excess hair growth that comes with too much testosterone has gotten…

Angel Leather Jacket – Affordable Luxury

Affordable Luxury In A Leather Jacket It’s no secret to anyone that I absolutely love leather jackets. I have amassed quite the collection over the years, as you know, and they’re definitely a go to of mine when I I’m putting outfits together. Leather jackets can be fairly expensive though, especially when you’re looking at one from a luxury brand, so they’re not always affordable, however, Angel Jackets is here to meet that gap in the market. They pride themselves on creating luxury you can afford, and with their real leather jackets priced at less than $200, that’s an amazing price point for such a staple closet piece! Everyone should be able to afford such an iconic item in my opinion! I’m wearing the Amber Asymmetrical Black Motorcycle Jacket by Angel Jackets and it’s priced at $199. It’s a classic moto style leather jacket with a flap pocket on the front, and zipped pockets with silver hardware. It’s made from real leather and is quite comfortable too! The sizing does run a little bit big as I had to pick size XS in this one, and I can layer knitwear underneath, so if you are between sizes, I recommend going down one size. The XS fits size UK 4-6 I believe, but I’m pretty much a true size UK 8, occasionally a 6, and it’s a little big on me, so do keep that in mind! This leather jacket would be great for someone who is a little taller than I am too. I am not blessed with a tonne of height as I’m only 5ft 4, but given its…

7 Practical Reasons for Investing in Quality Clothes

Many people, myself included, enjoy shopping for clothes as it can be a relaxing activity. It’s also a great way for them to get creative with their wardrobe and discover fantastic new pieces for it. If you’re such an individual, you probably know what it’s like to have so many fashion options that it becomes quite difficult to choose what to bring home. That being said, you might feel like it’s relatively easy to decide between cheap and expensive products – after all, doesn’t it make the most sense to always go for the more affordable option? While that may seem logical at first (especially if you’re trying to stay within a certain budget), this thinking couldn’t be further from the truth. Instead of focusing solely on price, you should also take a clothing item’s quality into consideration. But what exactly, are the benefits of investing in well-made clothes? Here are some compelling reasons to consider: They’re More Comfortable to Wear The main reason to prioritize quality when you buy hosiery, tights, blouses, or other clothes is to ensure your utmost comfort. While it’s important to find comfortable clothes in general, it’s even more crucial for intimate items such as underwear, shapewear, and hosiery. When you choose well-made garments, you can be sure they’re made out of fabrics that won’t feel rough, itchy, or uncomfortable when worn, so they wont be digging in. And because these fabrics are usually treated and dyed using non-toxic products, they’re unlikely to cause irritation or allergic reactions even if you have sensitive skin. They Fit Your Body Better Unlike fast fashion, where workers are…

An Online Shopper’s Guide to Buying Well-fitted Clothes

The secret to being impeccably dressed is purchasing clothes that fit well and bring out the best in you. After all, ill-fitting garments are not only unflattering, but also uncomfortable. No one wants jeans that pinch in all the wrong places or shirts that feel constrictive – this always puts me off wearing them. Normally, you can find the right fit by trying on clothing pieces in the fitting room. However, the landscape of shopping has changed due to COVID-19. As a safety measure, many stores have moved their activities online. Additionally, you might be more inclined to purchase clothes directly from these online stores as a convenient alternative to planning a trip to the mall. That being said, it can be tricky to figure out if a clothing piece will fit when you’re viewing it through an online catalogue. Thankfully, there are a number of ways to make your digital shopping experience an easier one. To learn more, below is a simple guide to purchasing well-fitting clothes online: Know Your Exact Measurements Getting your exact measurements is an integral step in purchasing the right outfits. Not every store will have the exact same clothing sizes, so you’ll need to check their specifications. For example, one brand’s small size may be equivalent to a medium in another brand. If you’re not familiar with your measurements, then do be sure to take note of them before you buy anything online. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to do, as you only need a flexible measuring tape. You could even ask a family member or friend to help you take measurements. If you’d rather…

Blush Pink And Leopard

Blush Pink Knitwear With A Leopard Dress Oh my gosh! These photos almost escaped us! I shot these back in the Autumn of last year, before I left for the USA in November, and I never got around to posting them! I remember not being sure what photos from this set that I wanted to use in this blog post, so I’ve just decided that I’m using them all and you guys can pick your favourites, ha ha. Thinking about it though, since it’s now Spring, these photos are even more relevant as the outfit is perfect for Spring, given the blossom pink shades! I was wearing an Allsaints Satin Leopard Knitwear Dress, which I styled with my Sam Edelman Sandals, and my Valentino Mini Lock Bag in Ivory, complete with some Daisy London Jewellery. As you know I am a huge fan of the Allsaints satin dresses like this as I’ve worn a few in the past, especially when they come with the knitwear (see here, here, and here). They’re really versatile and make a classy dress a little more casual and versatile. I’m going to keep this one short as I want to share it as soon as possible, but please do let me know what you think of this outfit! Lorna xx.

Mom Jeans And A Leather Jacket

A Leather Jacket With Mom Jeans Outfit I had thought that Spring was in full bloom as it’s been sunny, warm, and the blossom is looking beautiful, but as I type this, it’s cold, it’s grey, and it’s pouring with rain! The joys of English weather! How are you all anyway? I feel like it’s been a while since I gave a proper update on my blog, but I do plan to do that very soon. I’ve just been working a lot on myself, eating healthily, working out, looking after my mind and body, and trying to learn new things. I’m in a personal growth phase and a lot of things have been occupying my time. I’ve been home in England for just over 3 weeks now and I’m still adjusting! Anyway, getting to my outfit, I was wearing my Allsaints Balfern Leather Jacket with a pair of New Look Mom Jeans. I tucked a V by Very T-Shirt into them, and finished it off with some Missguided White Sandals, my Saint Laurent 5 a 7 Bag, a Daisy London Necklace, and some Accessorize Sunglasses. I think this is my first time ever wearing jeans from New Look actually, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the fit for the price! I took them in the shortest length and they’re nice and cropped, which is perfect! You all know that I’m a leather jacket girl too! I can never get enough of my leather jackets, ever! This Allsaints Balfern piece is my absolute favourite too! I’m always in love with how it fits and feels. So…
