A Leather Jacket & Ankle Boots

I can’t believe it’s almost May, the time just seems to whizz by and I feel like I’m saying that regularly, but it’s almost halfway through the year now, and that’s absolute madness! Anyway, these photos almost got away! They were shot back in the Autumn (as you can tell) as part of a collaboration with a brand, but that fell through, so I wasn’t going to share them. But as it turns out, I quite liked the outfit and the scenery together, so I thought I would share them with you anyway! I would say that three of my favourite pieces that I love to wear quite regularly are in this ensemble! That would be my Allsaints Balfern Leather Jacket, my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Graphite, and my Saint Laurent West Harness Wyatt Boots in Black. They’re staples that literally go with anything, and I love that kind of versatility! You saw this combination before too, in a very similar way, I just had darker black skinny jeans, and a black t-shirt, but if you missed it, check it out here. I’d love to know what some of your staples are that you wear on a regular basis? Is a leather jacket, black skinny jeans, and black boots part of them? Anyway, please do let me know what you think of this look! Lorna xx. *This post contains affiliate links to help keep this blog running.

Grey And Blue Double Denim

A Levi’s Denim Jacket With Grey Skinny Jeans Hey everyone! How are you all? I’m so happy that we are finally out of lock down and now in a more free way of living with the shops being open! Some normality again! I feel like this outfit is so me! It’s been a while since I did double denim, and it’s been even longer since I wore grey skinny jeans or a denim jacket for that matter! I love this kind of outfit and I feel so comfortable in it, as it’s been a uniform of mine for well over a decade. Most of these pieces are new too, so let me tell you about them! I was wearing my Levi’s Trucker Denim Jacket that I got a few months ago, and layered it over my Abercrombie & Fitch Tie Knot Tee in White. I think wearing a knot in the front of a t-shirt really gives it a different vibe to keeping it plain, it’s just so elevating. Then for my jeans (I recently included these in my wish list), they’re the Joe’s Jeans The Charlie Crop Jeans in Solitude and they’re incredible! They’re so stretchy and comfortable, and they’re the perfect shade of grey, so I’m obsessed with these right now! Then for my shoes, I wore my brand new Gucci Brixton Loafers in White, which again, I’m absolutely obsessed with because they’re so versatile, classy, and beyond comfortable! I will be reviewing them soon! Then I finished it off with my Saint Laurent Nano Sac de Jour Bag in Grey, to pull the shades together. Denim has…

Some Photo Outfit Updates From Instagram

For those of you that don’t follow me on Instagram, I regularly share some photos there of outfits and details, that I don’t often put on my fashion blog. I love to be able to share in the moment snaps and quick pictures, without doing a full on photo shoot that’s usually required for blog quality posts. Since these are taken with my phone, they aren’t up to my usual standard, but I do love these pics a lot and felt like I’d like to make a roundup post for you so that you don’t miss out on my social media content! As Spring is here and Summer is quickly approaching, I’ve been ordering some new denim shorts, cropped tops, bikinis, and t-shirts, so that I’m all set for comfortable wear! I’m seriously hoping I will be able to go to the pool or beach this Summer too, since last year was a bust for everyone! My fingers are tightly crossed that I will be in the United States for the warmer months, so I’m planning on packing some of these pieces in my luggage! I’m also looking forward to getting my hair done next month! The 12th April is just a few days away and I cannot wait to get some normality back in my life! How are all of you? I hope you’re cheering up and looking to the brighter days ahead! Lorna xx.

Jacquemus Le Chiquito Noeud Bag Review

Jacquemus Le Chiquito Noeud Bag Review This is my very first Jacquemus bag! Isn’t it cute? This is the Le Chiquito Noeud Bag in Pink, and I couldn’t take my eyes off of it when I first saw it online! I was pretty quick when I decided to buy this bag, so now it’s unfortunately sold out before I got chance to do the review, but they do have a couple of other colours left that you can pick up! I just thought this bright shade of pink will be a perfect Summer colour and go with a lot of my dresses! The Design & Details – As you can see, the unique detail about this particular Jacquemus bag is that the handle is doubled over, so you can twist it down into the double circle that it shows in some pictures, or you can untwist it into a long length handle, so you can fit it on your shoulder as a shoulder bag. Plus, there’s also an extra cross-body strap inside that you can attach to wear the bag that way! So you can wear it 3 ways in one, and I think that’s incredibly cool! There’s the iconic Jacquemus gold logo on the bottom right of the body of the bag. It features a fold over flap with a magnetic press-stud fastening, a beige twill lining inside with a card slot, gold tone hardware, contrast white stitching, all while being designed in Italy. If you’re not familiar with the brand, they have this iconic design which is a square that gets larger as it goes downwards. I remember…

Snake Print Leather Skirt With Thigh High Boots

Snake Print Leather Skirt With Thigh High Boots Happy Weekend everyone! The story behind this outfit is an interesting one, ha ha! I put this look together a few months ago (maybe 4-5) and I took it with me on a previous shoot, so that I could take pics of it, but unfortunately never got around to it as other looks took precedence. I then took it with me a second time, and the same thing happened! So third time lucky, my mum and I actually got to shoot this outfit a few weeks ago, finally! So here it is! And as it turns out, I love it! I think it might be one of my favourite looks that I’ve put together in recent years! For this look, I had on my Allsaints Lena Oba Leather Snakeprint Skirt, which I tucked my 525 Beige Roll Neck Top into. I layered my Zara Oatmeal Coat over the top of my shoulders, pulled my DUO Empress Over The Knee Boots on, and finished it off with my Louis Vuitton Mini Palm Springs Backpack. This skirt is actually one of my favourites as I love the snakeprint on it! Sometimes this kind of print can come across as trashy, but Allsaints did a fantastic job of keeping it classy! I also think that mixing it with neutrals, different fabrics, and proportions, is a key way to keeping it styled and chic. It’s in the sale currently, and does run a little bit big in terms of sizing. I would love your opinion on this outfit too! What do you think? Lorna xx. *This…

Leather Leggings With A Corset Belt

Leather Leggings With A White Shirt And Corset Belt Happy Saturday! These photos were shot a few weeks ago when the first sign of Spring was starting to hit! It was pretty chilly, but there was some beautiful sunshine hitting, which made a change! I honestly can’t believe how fast the time is going though! Can you? It’s already past mid March, the clocks go forward next weekend, and it will soon be Summer! Can you believe it? Everything has been a blur for the last year, it’s madness. Anyway, for this outfit, I wanted to mix it up a bit and do something different. I actually put this together on a whim and wasn’t expecting it to look this cool, so I really like how it turned out! I was wearing my Commando Faux Leather Leggings (they’re so flattering and comfortable, they’re my favourite leggings) with my Oversized Zara White Shirt. Since this shirt is really loose, I used my Pretty Little Thing Corset Belt to pull the waist together and create the hourglass shape. I then finished it off with my Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100 Heels, and my Chanel Wallet On Chain Bag in Black. Black and white always makes a statement when it comes to outfits, and I think this look here proves that. It mixes fashionable and classy together, in a fun, but sophisticated way. I’m keeping this post short and sweet, focused mostly on the outfit, so what’s your opinion on this outfit? I’d love to know! Lorna xx. P.S. – Check out my slow motion video of this outfit by clicking here. *This post…

My Invisalign Journey Review For Straight Teeth

My Invisalign Review at Aquae Sulis Dental with Dr. Rachael Hampton I have finally started my teeth straightening journey! I have spoken about it a few times over the last few months, and have wanted straight teeth since I was a teenager. I actually went to an orthodontist when I was about 13, but they wanted to remove two teeth, and I’d have been wearing the train track metal braces for at least two years. I decided not to go ahead with that as I didn’t want two healthy teeth pulled out. As I’ve gotten older though, I found my teeth were getting more crowded and I found out that’s because they continue to move over time, so it was time to finally get them straightened! I did a lot of research on Invisalign, I watched a tonne of YouTube videos, I googled everything I could. I made sure that I found the best place that I could, and that happened to be Dr. Rachael Hampton, at Aquae Sulis Dental, who in my opinion, is the best Invisalign orthodontist in Bath! I looked up her before and after photos on Instagram (click here to see those) and was beyond impressed with her work. I wanted a dentist that took their job as a passion, and creates art, and that’s what Rachael does, in order to get the most perfect teeth! Rachael was perfectly suited to me as she believes in promoting dentistry that adds to the teeth, and doesn’t take healthy tooth away, like veneers and crowns do. After researching her work and seeing how good she is with aligning,…
