Balfern Leather Jacket & Saint Laurent Boots

A Leather Biker Jacket With Wyatt Harness Boots Happy Wednesday everyone! The time has flown by! I can’t believe it’s Thanksgiving for my American readers tomorrow! And Black Friday has crept up so quickly! How many of you have taken full advantage of all of the sales already? The only store I spent my money in this time around has been Allsaints! I did a major shopping spree, ha ha! 30% off was too good to pass up! With Black Friday in mind though, I have included a list of my favourite sales below for you, so you can take full advantage of them too! But for now, lets get to this outfit! I was wearing my Allsaints Balfern Leather Jacket, and I layered it over my Allsaints Sparkle T-Shirt in Black. I paired both of these with my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Black, and then finished it off with my Saint Laurent West Harness Boots in Black. It’s a full black outfit, and I love it! I don’t usually wear so much of one colour all at once, but I was experimenting with this one as I adore the rocker vibe, as you all know, and this turned out just as I wanted! I think the different textures really help make it look three dimensional, instead of flat. The little metallic flecks in the t-shirt, the sheen on the black denim, and then the two different types of leather in the jacket and boots… It’s a great combination to me. I love the ease of it too. It’s just a simple and casual outfit, but because of the…

Black & White Floral Frill Wrap Dress Outfit

A Black & White Floral Frill Wrap Dress With Boots Here is the second post in my three part series, styling dresses with Blue Vanilla! If you missed the first one, you can find it here – How to style a smock tunic dress for Autumn – and let me know what you think! My mum and I shot these photos in the same location, but it really gives off a different vibe and feel because the dress is so different to the first orange one. Instead of going for a fun, casual look, I’ve opted for something a little more classy and chic, using this Blue Vanilla Gisela Frill Edge Wrap Dress. I also took this dress in a UK 10 and it fits perfectly. I find they tend to run a little smaller than other brands, and I definitely couldn’t have fitted into a UK 8 at all, so if you’re between sizes, go for your larger size! This dress is really lightweight and floaty, with a wrap style design as it has tie strings at the side. It’s made from a polyester fabric, which allows it to move freely with your body, and I think that’s important since it has frills on the sleeves and the bottom of the dress. You need that movement. The V neckline (because of the wrap style) is incredibly flattering too, I always love a low neckline like that as it slims the figure and can make you look a lot taller. I paired this Gisela dress with my DUO Over The Knee Empress Boots, and finished it off with my Valentino…

How To Style A Smock Tunic Dress For Autumn

The Autumn Smock Dress With Knee High Boots I am really excited to be sharing a three part series of outfit blog posts in collaboration with Blue Vanilla with you! This is the first post and I had so much fun shooting these photos with my mum last week. Isn’t the Autumn backdrop just gorgeous? It was the perfect scenery for this stunning Blue Vanilla Elena Smock Floral Print Tunic Dress! Now I have never really worn this kind of dress before, a smock tunic has never been something that I gravitated towards, but as soon as I saw it on their website, I completely fell in love with it! Not only is the orange shade really vibrant and intense, it has a 70’s vibe that I think is really cool. It’s the perfect design for wearing with boots and accessorising this time of year. There’s a floatiness to it that allows it to hang and move freely with your body, making it incredibly flattering. Sometimes this amount of material without a slim fit can often overwhelm your body, but this dress hangs off the body perfectly. The cropped, bell style sleeves are a great addition to the design too, and the V neckline is incredibly flattering as it slims you down. I don’t think they could have designed this any better! How To Style A Smock Tunic Dress For Autumn For my outfit, I paired the Elena Smock Dress with my DUO Brown Suede Boots, my Louis Vuitton Mini Palm Springs Backpack, and a few pieces of gold jewellery, to set it off. The bold red lip, which is…

Tajpur Shirt & Leather Skirt

Hey everyone! I found another set of photos that I never shared with you! These were taken in July and even though I posted them to my Instagram, I somehow didn’t share them with you here on the blog, which is totally unacceptable! Ha ha. I just wanted to update you on the fact that I finally got my new camera this week! So I’m waiting for it to stop raining (if that’s possible) so I can go out and do some shoots with my mum. I can’t wait to be honest, I’m really excited! It will be nice to get some normality back to my life, as everything has been so messed up because of Covid (as it has for everyone), and photoshoots are one thing that I missed a lot as that was a massive part of my life for years. So we will see what the pics turn out like next week! Anyway, for this outfit, I was wearing my Allsaints Tajpur Shirt that I got a few months ago and fell in love with. Isn’t the print just gorgeous? I always love Allsaints for their funky designs on their shirts! I styled it with my Topshop Faux Black Leather Skirt as I love this piece and regularly wear it. Then for the shoes, which you can only see briefly, I had my Celine Biker Boots! Then for the accessories, I had a heart necklace by Shashi, a Daniel Wellington watch, and my Azendi earrings. It’s weird now when I look back on my older pictures from a few months ago, as I look a lot different…

Celine Biker Boots With A Dress

Celine Camargue Biker Boots With A Dress You all know that I don’t really worry about the gender of the clothes I wear, and I will regularly wear men’s pieces as much as I wear women’s, but I took it one step further this time! Back in October last year when I was in London, I fell in love with a pair of men’s boots in the Celine boutique, and they were called the Celine Camargue Biker Boots. I didn’t buy them at the time as I’d bought a Celine bag, and hadn’t saved enough money for extra purchases. A couple of months ago, I managed to get an amazing deal on them, and I couldn’t pass it up! I took a size 39, which is the smallest size they do in men’s, and is usually my normal size anyway. They do fit a little bit looser, but I absolutely love them! The harness is removable entirely, or you can wear it with the chain under the boot instead of across the top, or just as a simple Chelsea boot. I love that you can wear them 3 different ways! Aren’t they cool? For the first time wearing these Celine boots, I chose to style them with my The East Order Black Floral Dress, and then finished it off with my Louis Vuitton Mini Palm Springs Backpack. I’m still obsessed with this bag! Even though I wouldn’t usually mix the silver hardware on the boots with the gold on the bag, it works. It’s a combination that I really like and I quite like how these photos turned out too.…

Gold Boots And A Leather Jacket

The Gold Boots And Leather Jacket Outfit Oh my goodness! I posted this outfit to my Instagram back in January, and all this time I thought I had shared it here on my blog! I realised last night that I hadn’t, when I went to check on how the post was doing, and it wasn’t there… I was confused for a moment, ha ha. I’m kind of excited that I get to share it with you now though and I get to relive the entire outfit and shoot again! Lets get to it though! I remember being in London back in November and I fell in love with a pair of Gianvito Rossi Gold Boots in the boutique window. The retail was around £900 though, so I didn’t try them on, but I kept them in my mind for a long time. A month or so after, I found them in the sale on FarFetch and they were over 50% off, so I snapped them up! Aren’t they gorgeous? The leather is super soft and delicate, so I am careful when I wear them, but they’re just incredible! For the entire outfit, I paired these amazing Gianvito Rossi boots with my Allsaints Elva Leather Jacket (this is on sale with 20% off right now for 4 days only, click here to buy it!), an Oasis Brown Sweater, and my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Graphite. Then to finish it off, I went with my Celine Nano Luggage Bag in Glazed Nut. I love how edgy and tough this outfit is, and it gives me a rock star vibe, which I…

The Checked Burberry Scarf Outfit

Oversized Burberry Scarf With A White Borg Coat Can you believe that September is almost upon us? This year has been one of the fastest years I have ever experienced. I know that’s due to Coronavirus and being in lock down for most of it, and everything still not fully being back to normal, but it’s still shocking how fast it’s gone. Summer is pretty much over, if this current weather is anything to go by, and I’m looking forward to wearing my Autumn clothes again! Things of course will be a little different now though since Adam and I aren’t working together anymore, so we will see how my photos turn out going forward. Speaking of Autumn though, here’s a set of photos that I held back from March! I was wearing my Topshop White Borg Coat, that I purchased in January and absolutely adore! I layered it over one of my cream coloured roll neck sweaters, and went with my basic L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Graphite. I know, you guys are gonna be sick of these soon, ha ha! I swear by them though, and live in them, so I recommend them (click here to buy them) as the best black skinny! Now getting to the brown accents and what I think pulls the outfit together, I went with my brown Sam Edelman Boots, and finished it off with this gorgeous Burberry Oversized Checked Cashmere Scarf. I actually purchased this scarf in London back in October, and I think it complements my skin tone and style perfectly! I couldn’t love it more if I tried! When I…

A Burgundy Leather Jacket Outfit

A Burgundy Leather Allsaints Jacket Outfit Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you’re all doing well! I know lots of things are going back to normal now in the UK and that’s exciting! I hope they continue because it’s been really stressful for all of us. Adam and I shot these photos earlier on in the year actually, and again, I hadn’t got around to posting them, but I’m glad that I have quite a few outfits left over to share with you at the moment. I’m planning on shooting new ones in a couple of weeks time, so that’s exciting! I haven’t done an outfit shoot since March! Wow, how time flies! Anyway, for this look, I was wearing an Allsaints Dalby Leather Jacket in Dark Raspberry Pink (buy it on Revolve Clothing by clicking here), which I got in the sale earlier this year for around 60% off! I took a size UK 8 in this one, if you were wondering! I’d always wanted a burgundy leather jacket and finally found one that was perfect! I paired it with my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Grey, my Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100 in Black, a simple Black Long Sleeve Top from GAP, and my Mulberry Lily Bag in Oxblood. There’s something about a burgundy, black, and grey combination that I love. These shades just complement each other really well. Are you a fan? Again, as these photos were shot a few months back, I was a bit more curvier here than I am now as I’ve still lost all of the weight that I gained a while ago. I think…
