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.

Louis Vuitton Mini Palm Springs Backpack Outfit

A Slogan Tee With Louis Vuitton Accessories As promised, here is the full set of photos from your favourite outfit of mine in the 4 different looks blog post that I put together at the beginning of this month. There’s something about wearing a casual combination of a t-shirt and skinny jeans, with trainers, but making it extra special with accessories. It’s a perfect Summer look in my opinion, and one that I enjoy wearing because it’s simple and easy. I was wearing my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Graphite (you know these are my go to favourite jeans!) and I paired them with a t-shirt I got from Femme Luxe that says ‘Paradise’ on it. I tied it up in a knot to give it a better look. I then chose my Superga Mule Sneakers in White, to keep it casual, despite them rubbing my toes, and finished it off with my Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Mini Backpack, my LV Logo Belt and a Shashi Gold Heart Necklace, an Urban Outfitters L necklace, and my Daniel Wellington Watch. I really think the LV accessories here pull this whole ensemble together and actually perfect it, giving off the brown, white, and black colour palette that I love so much. I will be sharing another look very soon, and it’s one I have leftover from Winter, which I can’t wait to show you all as it’s in the same colour palette too, but so different. How are you all? I would love to hear from you in the comments below. I’ve been really busy working on things and working on myself…

From Day Time To Night Time – 4 Different Looks

I finally did a day of shooting again! It felt so good to get back to some normality after not having done any modelling for a few months now due to the lock down. It was nice to get out and actually choose outfits to wear, and plan the content. Finally, I feel like things are picking back up and giving me hope! For this blog post, I wanted to showcase 4 different outfits for different occasions. I’ve gone for a lock down look with loungewear, two casual daytime outfit with t-shirts and jeans, and then a going out look with a gorgeous red dress. It feels good dressing up again! As I’m sure you can imagine! Anyway, I will tell you more about each outfit below each photo! I hope you like them! Daytime Casual These two looks above are pretty much identical, but I swapped out the t shirts to show you a black and white version. This Paradise tee from Femme Luxe is pretty cool, I love how elegant it is and the font of the text just makes it feminine. I decided to pair it with my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Graphite (which you know I live in) and then threw on my Superga Mule Sneakers. Now these shoes I was pretty disappointed with as they gave me blisters! For my accessories though, which I think is key to pulling a t-shirt and jeans look together, I wore my Louis Vuitton LV Belt and matched it to my Louis Vuitton Mini Palm Springs Backpack! I got this bag a couple of months ago after falling…

My 20 Favourite Summer Outfits

I thought it might be fun to take a look back and select some of my favourite Summer outfits over the years that I have been blogging. Because I was choosing 20, I’ve gone from 2012 until 2019. The months selected were June, July and August, and obviously I haven’t chosen any from this year because of the Covid situation and not having any proper Summer outfits yet. When I do ‘look back’ posts like this, I am always eager to see how much my style has changed over the years, as well as how much I have changed as a person, both mentally and physically. I’m sure you can see that my weight goes up and down by a few pounds all the time, but one thing that stands out to me now is how refined my style has become. You could definitely say it’s matured, even when I’m wearing bolder prints and colours, there’s still a mature aspect to it that I didn’t have a few years ago when my outfits appeared more youthful and fun. I’m intrigued to see which type of looks you liked the most? Lorna xx.

Pink Top & Black Jeans

These photos were taken around August last year, on a blistering hot day and I actually ended up regretting wearing jeans, ha ha. I hadn’t gotten around to sharing the pictures yet as I had other ones to edit, then Autumn took over and these got left behind, however with the Covid issue, this has actually worked out better as I have a Summer look to share with you! My outfit was a Pink Knitted Mango Tank Top, which I styled with my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Graphite (I do still live in these!), my B-Low The Belt, my Alexander McQueen Oversized Sneakers, and my Saint Laurent White Sunglasses, finished off with a Mango Shell Necklace. I wasn’t completely sure if I loved the outfit when I put it together because of the sunglasses, but I went with it. Sometimes it’s all about experimentation and seeing what you can come up with, ha ha. On a separate note, I’m planning on taking my very first flight next month in July! I’m not sure which country I’m going to yet, it depends on the air bridges and what’s open, but I’m thinking Spain or France, so I can test a flight before flying to the United States this year. I’m finally doing what I wanted to do and hoping it goes well! How are you all doing? Our hairdressers and restaurants etc. open up on the 4th July and I cannot wait either! I need my hair cut!

The Red Floral Co-Ord

Adam and I shot these photos back in June I think it was, but I hadn’t got around to sharing them yet as I wasn’t sure if I wanted to post them. My style has changed a fair bit since this and I probably wouldn’t wear this kind of look now, but I thought I would post it anyway as I already had the photos. The co-ord itself is from Pretty Little Thing, my wooden clogs are from Carvella and my bag is my Valentino Lock bag in Ivory, but I do believe that pretty much all of these pieces are sold out. Again, we had re-booked our holiday to St. Ives for this week and we were supposed to leave yesterday, but we cancelled it again due to the weather as it’s still constantly raining. We’re heading to London this week for a few days instead, for a city break, rather than a beach holiday. I will be sticking to my normal posting schedule though, so I’m not taking a week off like I had planned! Anyway, I’m keeping this one short, but let me know what you think and I hope you had a nice weekend! Lorna xx.

A Leopard At The Beach

This post rounds out the last of my Lyme Regis holiday photos! I didn’t realise that I had taken so many while we were there, despite the weather, but these pictures were shot on the last day, just before we came home. As you know, the sun had finally come out that day and caused us pretty bad sun burn, but it made a beautiful backdrop for the sea behind. I will say that some areas of Lyme Regis are truly stunning, you can’t beat it for nature at one of its best there! For my outfit, I had on my H&M Leopard Playsuit (can you believe it only costs £10 in the sale now?!) and I wore it with my ASOS Jelly Sandals (so that I could go in the sea), my Loeffler Randall Basket Bag, and my Ray-Ban Youngster Sunglasses, finished off with some jewellery like my Mango Shell Necklace. I am a huge fan of playsuits in the summer as you know, as they’re so easy to wear and are very comfortable. Anyway, I hope you like this outfit and the scenery! Let me know!
