Chi Chi London Floral Dress

Chi Chi London Ruffle Floral Mini Day Dress Hey everyone! I hope that you’re all well! I recently did a shopping haul for some new Summer pieces and I cannot wait to share them all with you! I’ve done a few Instagram Live episodes and showed the pieces, which I then shared to my IGTV (click here to go to my Instagram) so you can see them, but I’m hoping to shoot the outfits over the new few weeks for proper photos! I just wanted to update you all on that, but anyway, lets get to this outfit! You recently saw me wearing the gorgeous Chi Chi London Coral Wrap Maxi Dress, and I absolutely adored that one, but I also have another gifted piece from them, and this is the Chi Chi London Ruffle Floral Print Mini Day Dress in Cream! It’s pretty chic and feminine, so I decided to style it in more of a country girl kind of way, which I thought looked really cute. I paired this dress with my Brixton Brown Hat, and I wrapped my Gucci Mini GG Belt in Tan around my waist, and finished it off with my Nordgreen Unika Watch. Since I only took a few shots of this dress, for my shoes, I was torn between wearing some brown ankle boots or my Valentino Studded Tan Sandals. What would you have picked? And please do let me know what you think of this outfit, as always! Lorna xx. *A carefully selected gifted collaboration between Chi Chi London and myself.

Allsaints Blush Pink Aleida Short Suit Outfit

A Blush Pink Tailored Short Suit Last month, I shared my wish list and this Allsaints Aleida Short Suit was in it! So many of you thought it was a really cute set, and I agreed, so I snapped it up! I wasn’t sure at first if I could make it work, as I was looking like an 80’s car salesman, but I figured it out and I like how it turned out! It’s really feminine and smart, but it’s on trend at the same time. You’ve already seen a few of these shots, or this look overall, as I shared it in my Nordgreen watch review that I did, so here’s the full look! The full look that I’m wearing here is the Allsaints Aleida Blazer in Blush Pink, the Allsaints Aleida Shorts in Blush Pink, an Abercrombie & Fitch Short Sleeve Flutter Sleeve Top in White, my Gucci Brixton Loafers in White, and my Valentino Mini Lock Bag in Ivory. I also wore my Nordgreen Unika Watch too, to finish it off as I love simplistic and elegant jewellery. I think the combination of white and blush pink is really pretty and perfect for the Summer months as it’s so feminine. I also love the scenery here as it’s purely English countryside and so serene! How are you all anyway? I feel like it’s been a little while since I gave you all an update on everything, so I will probably do that soon in a blog post. I’ve been enjoying the sunshine (not so much the heat) and spending some time at the park, and going out…

Chi Chi London Coral Dress

Styling The Chi Chi London Tori Wrap Dress Isn’t this dress gorgeous? It’s a Chi Chi London Satin Cami Strap Wrap Midi Bridesmaid Dress in Orange, which is very much like a beautiful coral shade. I styled it with a pair of Kurt Geiger Nude Heels, that I’ve had for over 8 years, and my Valentino Lock Bag in Ivory, with my Nordgreen Rose Gold The Unika Watch. I think the nude tones work really well with the pop of bright orange, and I absolutely love how this looks. This dress was gifted to me by Chi Chi London, and I went for a size UK 12, as I know their dresses can run quite small, especially in the chest department, but I think I could have probably gotten away with a 10 actually as there was room in it. The length is perfect on my 5ft 4″ frame, when I’m wearing 4.5 inch heels, so if you are on the petite side, keep that in mind! I think the belted waist around the wrap detail is extremely flattering! I always find wrap dresses enhance my figure beautifully, and the belt just pulls that all together, especially with the lower cut neckline. I couldn’t ask for a more flattering dress shape for my body, in my opinion. The leg slit just makes it even more pretty! Please do let me know what you think of this outfit in the comments below! Lorna xx. *A carefully selected gifted collaboration between Chi Chi London and myself.

Nordgreen The Unika Watch Review + Discount Code

Nordgreen Minimalist Watches Review + 15% Off As you guys know, I absolutely love watches, so when I heard about Nordgreen Watches, I was super excited to share them with you! I always take my collaborations seriously and this is a Copenhagen-based Scandinavian minimalist watch brand that offers a sustainable watch collection, so I couldn’t be happier to tell you about them! These thin watches are designed by award-winning Danish designer, Jacob Wagner (who you probably know as the world famous Bang & Olufsen designer),  honouring form and function in equal measure. Each of their watches has a different story to tell, while remaining modern classics and extremely versatile! The Nordgreen watch that I have here is the beautiful The Unika Rose Gold 28mm thin watch, with a stunning mesh strap. This one has the incredible white dial, with their simple and minimalist logo, combined with rose gold hands. The extra strap that I chose to go with it is a gorgeous brown leather, with a rose gold buckle, to complement the face. What I fell in love with on this watch the most was the unique and cool way that the strap connects to the dial. It’s a fun design that you don’t usually see on watches, and I fell in love with it for that purpose. It’s tough to add fun and quirky elements to something, while keeping its integrity and remaining a classic, but Jakob managed to do just that! It’s super lightweight as they’re known for their thin watches, and it’s very comfortable to wear. Mesh straps always offer you the ability to adjust the closure,…

Currently Craving Wish List: May 2021

I’m a little late this month with my Currently Craving Wish List – May edition. I have been pretty busy lately, and things are getting back to normal now in the outside world, so it’s been nice actually going out to eat in a restaurant! Sometimes I like to spend some time away from my computer and just enjoy some other things for a while, hence why I posted less this month! I have a new shoot coming up tomorrow though, so I can’t wait to share those photos with you soon! Anyway, getting to my wish list, there are 22 pieces in the look book below, that I absolutely adore! Some of them I have ordered (you know the drill) and some of them are on my ‘to buy’ list. I love putting these posts together for you all, and I know a lot of you can’t wait for them either! I’ve had a couple of messages on Instagram, asking me when this month’s will be, ha ha, so here it is! As always, I will talk about what’s in the look book below, and you can shop the pieces by clicking the images as you scroll through, it will take you to buy the item directly!     Ok, first up, it’s this chic Allsaints Blazer and Shorts combination in a blush pink.

2 Ways To Style White Jeans & Knitwear

2 Different White Outfits For Spring & Summer With Spring being in full swing, it makes sense to break out the white denim, doesn’t it? Summer is in one month, as it’s mid June when it’s officially Summer here in the UK, and one of the shades we always gravitate towards in the warmer weather is white! I wanted to put two different looks together here, to show you how you can transition a white pair of jeans and a white cropped knit, over the two seasons! There’s one for when it’s a little bit chilly, and one look for when it’s warmer. For the first look, I styled my Abercrombie & Fitch White Skinny Jeans and White Zara Cropped Knit with a Zara Coat that I threw over my shoulders, my Gucci GG Belt, my Alexander McQueen Oversized Sneakers, and my Louis Vuitton Mini Palm Springs Backpack. I think this combines neutrals and tans really nicely, but it’s ideal for a windy day, or a more overcast weather situation (we’re very much used to that here in England, aren’t we?!). The second look is a little more playful, so I styled my Abercrombie & Fitch White Skinny Jeans and White Zara Cropped Knit with my Jacquemus Le Chiquito Noeud Pink Bag, my Gucci GG Belt, and my Alexander McQueen Oversized Sneakers again. So as you can see, all I really did to switch this one up was remove the coat, and bring in a bright pop of pink with my choice in bag. That alone really makes it Summer appropriate because you’re injecting some vibrancy and colour into the…

Pastel Rainbow Knitwear

The Pastel Rainbow Cardigan Outfit Happy Monday everyone! I feel like this outfit is super Spring appropriate, isn’t it? I originally saw this rainbow 525 cardigan on Shopbop and thought it was really cute, but then I saw it on another fashion blogger and fell completely in love with it even more. It ended up being tricky to get hold of as the stock was sold out everywhere, but I managed to find a M and I decided to give it a try. Then an XS came back in, and an S, and I went for it! Ha ha! So I ended up with three different sizes of this cardigan! I kept the XS as it has an oversized fit and I thought this one suited me the most. Isn’t it adorable? I feel like it’s either a love or hate relationship with it though, as I’ve had a lot of compliments, as well as people saying it’s awful, but I absolutely adore it! What do you think of it? It’s so soft and comfortable as well, it’s amazing! I wore this 525 Rainbow Cardigan with my Joe’s Jeans Charlie Crop Skinny Jeans in Grey, my new Gucci Brixton Loafers in White, and finished it off with my Celine Micro Belt Bag in Clay. I think this is a really simple and casual outfit for wearing during the day time, either to lunch, doing some errands, shopping etc. and it’s definitely something that I would wear on a trip to London, if I was going there anytime soon. I did recently wear these grey jeans and the Gucci Brixton loafers…

Gucci Brixton Loafers Review

Gucci Brixton Horsebit Leather Loafers Review I’m really excited to do this review for you! I had been eyeing up the Gucci Brixton Loafers since 2018! I own two pairs of Gucci Princetown slip on mules, and I adore them, but I had always wanted a comfortable pair of loafers with the backs on, but never managed to get a cheaper pair that fit that bill. I have sensitive skin on the back of my heels and everything would always give me blisters! Anyway, last month, I finally bit the bullet and decided to purchase the Gucci Brixton in White and here we are! Let me get to the review for you! Sizing: In terms of sizing, the Gucci Brixton is very true to size. I took a size 39.5 consistently in my two pairs of Princetown loafers, and I am a 39.5 in the Brixton as well. I vary between a 39 and 40 in most brands, and having tried those sizes too, 39 was way too small, and 40 was too big, so the 39.5 is perfect. If you’re like me and you vary between two sizes, try the half size and it should be good! Their loafers are quite narrow, so if you do have wider feet, you might want to size up, that’s what I’ve heard! Style: The Brixton is an absolute classic! It’s the perfect shaped loafer in my opinion as it looks classy, minimal, stylish, and smart, but it can also be worn casually. The one thing that attracted me to this particular design over the Jordaan is the fact that the back is…
