Leopard Simplicity

The Subtle Leopard Top With Black Jeans Happy Monday everyone! How have you been doing? I’ve been getting things ready and planned for my trip to the USA very soon! I literally cannot wait! This is the last outfit post I’m sharing here in the UK though, so the next one you see will be from Sunny America! I know it’s going to be around 30 degrees Celsius the entire time, so that’s going to be an experience for me, ha ha. At least there’s air con though! For this look, I was wearing an Abercrombie & Fitch Leopard Shirt that I actually purchased in the sale last time I was out there in Ohio. It’s really flattering and pretty! I paired it with my American Eagle Black Jeggings, which I put a Pretty Little Thing Belt around, to tie it together. For the rest of the outfit, I went with my Stuart Weitzman Brown Sandals, my Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Mini Backpack, and some Daisy Jewellery (which I always wear). I do always love a tan, brown, taupe, black combination! When it comes down to animal print, I would say that leopard is my favourite to wear! I’m not overly fond of the really loud, bold leopard print anymore, but more subtle, mature designs are wonderful. It really livens up a simple outfit. I also have to give a mention to these shoes because they’re wonderful! I got them on sale at The Outnet and I really like them! I’m taking them on holiday with me! Anyway, please do let me know what you think of this outfit as…

Camel Skirt & Silk Shirt

Camel Skirt With A Silk Shirt Happy Tuesday! The sun has actually been shining here, intermittently, and it’s wonderful! It’s so good to have some warmer weather. How are you guys doing? I enjoyed celebrating the Platinum Jubilee, and soon I will be celebrating July 4th in the United States, and I cannot wait! I’m so excited! Getting to this outfit though, I put something a little smarter/sexier together, using a camel coloured PU leather skirt from I Saw It First, which I styled with one of their beige/nude satin shirts. For my shoes, I went with the Jimmy Choo Romy heels that I love, and finished it off with my Mulberry Darley in Oak, and some Daisy London gold jewellery. I would say this look is quite simplistic and minimal, but the colour palette and the different mediums of fabric texture really make it elevated. I’ve combined satin, leather, suede, and gold, so it’s a look with different elements. Since I am quite pale, I tend to suit the neutral colour palette quite well as I have neutral undertones in my skin too. Shades like camel, beige, oatmeal etc. work wonderfully with my skin tone, and I should really wear them more often, but I’ve vowed to try and wear a lot more colour this summer season! I’m going for brighter, fun, flirty pieces! Anyway, what do you think of this outfit? You can shop the exact/similar pieces below. Lorna xx.

Happy Platinum Jubilee

Happy Platinum Jubilee! Happy Platinum Jubilee everyone here in the UK! Or if you’re celebrating around the world too! I can’t believe this is the longest reign any Royal has ever had! 70 years is crazy! There’s so many celebrations going on and I’m sure we’re all enjoying the four day weekend. I decided to celebrate by wearing red, white, and blue! This lace red top is from Shein, so it’s super affordable, and the denim shorts are from American Eagle! The white shirt is from Allsaints, and the jewellery is from Daisy London! It’s a super simple look, and I love how it turned out! You can also see some videos of me on Instagram by clicking here and here. I remember celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee 10 years ago in 2012, when she had reigned 60 years, so it’s crazy to think that another 10 years has passed since then! You can see my outfit from back then by clicking here. What do you think of the look? I’m keeping it super short and simple today. Lorna xx.

A Versatile Watch For All Occasions

The Search For A Versatile Watch For All Occasions I’ve always loved watches, that’s never been a secret, and I own quite a lot of them! My collection consists of two expensive designer watches from BVLGARI and from RADO, and a lot of other brands like Olivia Burton, Daniel Wellington, Nordgreen etc., so I love a lot of variation when it comes to timepieces! It’s extremely helpful when you’ve got an item for every occasion, whether that’s casual day wear or a more elegant timepiece for evening. We always need glitz and glam as much as we need ease of wear, but what if you could combine both in one? That’s one way to end up with a more minimalist approach to your wardrobe, all while keeping versatility. Something that I have had a lot more interest in lately when it comes to my approach to clothing. One brand I haven’t yet tried is Seiko, and they have a Seiko Grand Seiko watch that has always caught my eye! Of course you can get various designs of this model, but it has a classic, very simple, elegant watch face and you can have a leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet. It has a very minimal design, so you can wear it in the daytime really casually, but given its designer name and higher price tag, it works perfectly for evening too and dressing it up. It is considered to be a men’s watch, but so is my RADO and it looks unisex to me, so I’m never against wearing watches for the opposite sex, or any clothing for that…

Pretty In Pink

Pretty In Pink – An All Pink Outfit This outfit is a little different for me! I usually like to push my boundaries when it comes to my personal style and I mix a lot of different genres all the time, so I wouldn’t say that I stick to one specific niche, as I’m sure you have noticed. But I will say that leather jackets, boots and jeans are pretty much a go to of mine, so venturing out to trousers, shirts, and heels, is actually quite different! I wanted to put an outfit together that was a little more elegant, dressy, and classic, but give it some element of fun, which is why I went for a pink monochrome vibe here, to stray away from the classic black and white that is usually a trousers and shirt kind of outfit! For this all pink ensemble, I was wearing my Zara Pink Trousers, which I paired with an affordable I Saw It First Pink Satin Shirt, tucked into the waistband. Luckily enough, the two pink hues of these are so close that they look like were made by the same company! Since they’re two different fabrics and textures though, they work perfectly together without looking too much. That’s always the key when it comes to monochrome looks – always choose different fabrics and textures! I finished it off with my Mulberry Small Darley Bag in Blush Pink, my Jimmy Choo Romy Heels in Brown Suede, and my Daisy Jewellery Vita Necklace and Daisy Ring in Gold. It’s a really simple, yet elegant outfit. It’s definitely a fun way to experiment…

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…
