    A Little Life Update + 4th Of July

    Hey everyone! I said I would give you a little life update, and that’s what this post is! A lot of the restrictions have been lifted here in England now (thank goodness), so I’ve been able to do a lot more things with people, which has made the world of difference to my mental health. In all honesty, going through so much lock down and the constant restrictions on how we can live our lives has been one of the worst experiences for me, to the point where I’ve cried a lot from frustration. I’m always real with you guys and I just haven’t been coping all that well with it. I know I’m not alone and it’s worldwide, but when you’re separated from someone you love who’s in a different country, and you’re still not allowed to see them, it’s incredibly testing. You may be wondering what I’m talking about as I’ve kept my love life out of my blog, so I will explain a little bit below. First up though, these are two different looks I wore for 4th of July! The first one is my Allsaints Elva leather jacket that I layered over my Ralph Lauren flag knit, paired with some black jeans and my Saint Laurent West Harness boots, finished off with a Brixton hat. I think it’s a much edgier way to style something patriotic to a country that I love so much. The other look below is a Ralph Lauren USA flag tee, with my Good American Good Waist jeans! I’m well aware that I am British, before you guys say anything, and yes…

    The AC/DC Tee

    AC/DC Band Tee With Doc Martens Hey guys! How are you all? I hope you had a lovely 4th of July weekend! I definitely did, celebrating it via FaceTime, since I can’t be in the USA yet. I plan on making my next post a life update, as it’s been a little while since I published one, so stay tuned for that! I’m writing it up today, to publish in a few days. Anyway, I thought I would share this outfit with you, which was shot a couple of months ago now actually, but I wasn’t sure I liked it enough to publish. I edited the photos anyway, and decided I will share them with you as it’s a little different and cool. I will see what you think! I was wearing an Abercrombie & Fitch AC/DC Tee, which is actually from the kids department. I took age 15, if anyone is interested! I tucked it into my Zara Black Denim Shorts, which I then layered an ASOS Western Belt around the middle. I then finished it off with some Doc Marten Boots, and my Saint Laurent Nano Sac de Jour Bag, and some jewellery. As you know, I got these Doc Martens back last year and I’ve been learning how to style them more, but I do quite like how this one turned out! What do you think? Lorna xx.

    Currently Craving Wish List: June 2021

    Can you believe that June is almost over? We’re now over halfway through the year! This time is going so quickly, but nothing seems to be changing in terms of travel opening up unfortunately! But, this post is purely about my Currently Craving Wish List, and I’m focusing on some really cool pieces that have popped up recently, which I absolutely adore! So lets get to it!     I regularly include a lot of Allsaints pieces as I love their aesthetic and they’re more affordable than Saint Laurent/Celine etc. and my favourite piece from this round up is that gorgeous brown suede embroidered jacket! Isn’t that incredible? I’m obsessed with it! It does also come in Black, as you can see in the look book below, and then there’s another similar version in black, but with gold studs! I can’t get enough of these western inspired jackets. Starting the look book is the Allsaints brown leather dip dye jacket though, and it’s gorgeous! Not only do I love the colour, I adore the ombre! Also from the brand is an orange maxi skirt, which I know is perfect for the Summertime, along with some printed floral shorts, and a mustard yellow wool jacket. Now getting to the items I included from Abercrombie & Fitch, there’s this adorable lemon printed cropped top (which I own) and it’s so girly and cute! There’s also a white and blue printed dress, again it’s a piece that I bought, and I cannot get enough of it! And there’s a cherry printed linen shorts and top combination that is super pretty, so you can’t…

    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. Isn’t it stunning? This is the perfect Spring/Summer classic look, especially when worn with some loafers. I am absolutely obsessed with this! It’s such a vibe! Next up is a pair of MOTHER Denim Shorts that I have ordered and are currently in the mail!…
