The GIVENCHY Chelsea Boots Trend

The Givenchy Chelsea Boots Trend The chunky Chelsea boots trend has been popular for the last couple of seasons, but it’s still not one that I have jumped on board with. The more I see them, the more I like them, and the sleek boots I have been looking at recently are by Givenchy. I know that Bottega Veneta brought this trend to us, but their boots were really quite heavy and almost clumsy looking, and given the fact that I’m shorter, I prefer more sleek looking footwear, to elongate my legs. Choosing the right colour boots from the Givenchy selection is near impossible though! I see so many models and bloggers wearing boots like these, and I think they look incredible. Styling a white pair with some light blue skinny jeans, a chunky taupe knit, and a cream coat layered over the top is a gorgeous outfit, especially if you finish it off with a Chanel flap bag in similar neutral tones, but on the other hand, there’s the black ones and they go with black skinny jeans, oversized hoodies, or a black leather jacket and some statement sunglasses. I don’t know what to do! It’s making me think that I need both the white and black pairs as I have two different styles that I like. I love a more feminine, soft, girly approach, but I’m also partial to a rock chick, darker, tougher vibe! The more I see these types of Chelsea boots though, the more I become obsessed with them! Remember when I first got my Chloe Susanna Boots in that gorgeous Velvet Burgundy? I had…

A Dusky Pink Puffer Coat In The Snow

Hey everyone! For my followers that love the snow, here’s some more photos for you! That winter storm that I mentioned in my previous post dumped around a foot and a half of snow on us! The cars were covered and frozen solid, hardly anyone could go out… It was nuts! I’m actually beginning to forget what grass looks like! I’ve seen constant snow on the ground for over 4 weeks now and I’ve never seen that much snow in my entire life! You know what we’re used to in the UK, and it’s not this! I’m going to try and get some more snow photos for you all, but it’s super cold, so we will see! For my outfit, I was wearing my new Hollister Dusky Pink Puffer Coat that I bought before I came here, and I layered it over my American Eagle Cream Knit. I finished it off with my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Graphite, and my Urban Outfitters Mittens that I have been living in while I’m here, and of course my Doc Martens with the faux fur lining – these have been a life saver here! Anyway, I just wanted to check in with you all and see how you are! I will be back home in the UK at the end of this month, coming home to much warmer temperatures. I have some fun things to do while I’m here though first, and one of them I cannot wait to share with you! It’s going to be amazing and I am super excited about it! It’s another dream come true of mine! Let…

A Leather Balfern Jacket Over Knitwear

A Snowy Day In A Leather Jacket Do you remember how I was hoping for a lot of snow and I couldn’t wait for it? Well, it happened, and it hasn’t gone away! Two weeks ago, it snowed really hard for a couple of days and it’s been here ever since, with more snow on and off. Now we have a brand new winter storm warning going to hit us tonight, with up to 14 inches of more snow and ice. My goodness. As a British person (it’s 12C back home) I am not used to this kind of weather, at all! Ha ha. I shot these photos a couple of weeks ago when the first heavy snowfall hit us, and I was super excited. But after being in it for a little while, my hands were burning, snow got in my boots and froze my feet, it wasn’t very pleasant, and now two weeks on, I don’t like snow anymore! I now understand why everyone here complains about it and wants nothing more to do with it! I fully sympathize lol. That being said, it does make a beautiful backdrop for some amazing snowy photos! I was wearing my larger size Allsaints Balfern Leather Jacket in Black (this one is a UK 10) and I layered it over my new American Eagle Cable Knit Sweater in Off White. I also chose my American Eagle Low Rise Skinny Grey Jeans, and finished it off with my Saint Laurent Nano Sac de Jour in Grey. This sweater is absolutely amazing! I also have it in a dark brown, and it’s so…

A Dusky Rose Puffer Vest Outfit

A Dusky Pink Puffer Vest Outfit Happy Saturday everyone! I have one week left here in the United States and then I’m heading back home to England! The time has flown by, even though it feels like I have been here forever, the two months went by pretty fast at the same time. I’m not sure how that works, but it has. Has that ever happened to any of you? Fast, but also slow? Here are some more photos that I shot in the first snow! Since then, it has snowed a huge amount more! It’s been extremely cold and we’ve had deep snow for days, so I used that opportunity to shoot more pictures in the snow, and those will be shared here soon! In the meantime though, for this outfit, I was wearing my 525 Roll Neck Knit, my American Eagle High Rise Jeggings (I’m obsessed with these!) and my Aeropostale Pink Puffer Vest, which I absolutely love! I finished it off with my Topshop Blush Pink Bobble Hat. I was looking for a puffer vest for months, one that was slim fitting, one that was in a dusky shade of pink that I absolutely love, and I found it on Aeropostale! It was super cheap too! Can you believe it was only $11? It’s great as well! I definitely recommend it for the cheap price! I hadn’t heard of the brand before, until I came here to Ohio, but it’s pretty cool! I’ve definitely realised that pink, cream, brown, light warm shades really suit my skin complexion the best, so I tend to gravitate towards them. What…

Winter Fairisle Knit In The Snow

Winter Fairisle Knit In The Snow It snowed! Albeit quite lightly, but nonetheless, it snowed! And that’s a win to me! I’ve been in Ohio since December 5th and I’m being stiffed when it comes to snow, ha ha. Usually they have Winter storms here and lots of deep snow, but I am yet to experience any of that and it’s almost time for me to go home at the end of this month! I have had to make do with this snowfall so far, but I am hoping for a lot more in the coming weeks! Although knowing my luck, it wont happen until I leave, ha ha. This outfit that I’m wearing here is one that I mostly bought while here. The Fairisle Knit and the High Rise Jeggings are by American Eagle, and I adore them! The jeans might be my new favourite! I literally cannot get enough of their jegging jeans! They couldn’t fit more perfectly! The Boot Socks that I’m wearing are also by American Eagle, and I tucked them into my Furry Lined Dr. Marten Boots! I then finished it all off with my Hollister Brown Parka Coat that I picked up just before leaving England, as I knew I needed some really warm clothing for Ohio in the Winter, and it hasn’t let me down. Speaking of the temperatures, it was unusually warm for Winter here for a while, and then a few days ago it started shifting to freezing! We’re talking -12 and -15 on the weather app, but feeling like -18 or lower. This is a kind of cold I have…

All Black At An American Mall

How To Wear All Black Properly Hey everyone! I took a little 10 day break so that I could rest after the holiday, but I’m back now! These photos were shot here in Ohio over the Christmas period, hence the Christmas tree and decorations in the background, and I thought they made a great contrast to my all black outfit. There was also a gorgeous brick wall in the mall, and that was just as pleasing to the eye, if not better! It’s crazy just how fast everything has gone though, it’s the 10th already and it feels like Christmas was just last week! Anyway, getting to my outfit, I was wearing my Allsaints Balfern Leather Jacket, which I layered over an Allsaints Star Sheer Blouse. I also wore my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Graphite, and threw on my Saint Laurent West Harness Boots in Black. I then finished it all off with my Saint Laurent 5 a 7 Bag, to complete everything, and I really adore how it looks! I loved it so much that I wore this exact outfit again to the New Years Eve celebrations downtown! The key to getting an entire black ensemble right is by mixing the different mediums/textures. I’ve got denim, leather, metal, and sheer fabric here, and they all work harmoniously together because they bring so much depth to the all black. The same thing with proportions of the pieces, creating different lines, curvatures, and elements. This is definitely how you go about wearing head to toe black and making it look chic, rather than really drab and boring. It’s all in…

A Look At My 2021 Outfits & My New Years Goals

Happy New Year Everyone! I feel like I say this every year, but wow, this year sure did go by fast! I can’t believe I’m doing a roundup of the year again, when it doesn’t feel like 12 months has passed at all. One thing I can say though is that I looked back at my goals for 2021, and I have achieved quite a few of them! Not to mention they’re absolutely huge goals too, which I’m really proud of myself for achieving! As always, I’ve rounded up my favourite outfits of the year as well, so you can look at those below! But first, lets look at the things I listed last year, and how that went for me this year! Going to America – Well, since I’m writing this blog post out from Ohio, USA, I think that went well, ha ha. This is my second time visiting the United States and I finally got my dream! I was always afraid of flying and I’ve gone from zero flights in my entire life, to 5 flights this year alone! I went to Croatia in August, then onto America, then back home, and back out to America again. I’m extremely proud of myself as I did it all alone, and you guys know how much of a big thing travelling like that is to me! Fixing my teeth – I got Invisalign back in April of 2021 and my teeth are almost fully straight! I will be finished in February/March, and I cannot wait! I have always been self conscious of my wonky and overcrowded teeth, but now…

A Sweater Vest With Dr. Martens Jadon Platform Boots

Platform Combat Boots And Sweater Vests Hey everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas? How did you spend it? These are the last of my photos from Autumn when the leaves were still bright orange! Funnily enough, as the seasons are changing more and lengthening, these were taken at the start of December, which seems crazy to think of Autumn lasting more into December than it should! Getting to my outfit, since that’s what you guys come here for, I was wearing a Chi Chi London Cable Knit Sleeveless Knitted Jumper in Tan, which I layered over a Zara White Shirt. This was my first real time jumping into the sweater vest trend this season! I chose black pieces for the rest of the look, including my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Graphite, my Saint Laurent 5 a 7 Bag, and my new Dr. Martens Jadon Hi Leather Platform Boots. I have to say that I’m really into platform combat boots, and lace up boots in general. I brought my brown furry lined Dr. Martens with me to the United States right now and they are so comfortable and warm. I can’t stop wearing them. The Jadon is one step above those in looks though, they’re such a statement and they’re bold, and I love it! I also adore the higher shaft length on this particular pair! Also, stay tuned for my new blog post coming soon as it’s my end of year roundup! As always though, let me know what you think of this outfit and you can buy the pieces in my scroller below! Lorna xx.…
