OOTD | Casual Day Dress

It's Thursday which means it's almost the weekend... well, technically the prekend, AND apparently it's going to be sunny this weekend. FINGERS CROSSED!

 Whether you're planning a BBQ, a picnic in the park or just a day out shopping with friends I thought I'd share with you the perfect day time dress. I've matching it with my current favourite shoes, my Keds, as they're super comfortable and keep the dress feeling very relaxed. I've kept accessories to a minimum because of the shirt and lace detailing in the dress, but added simple gold hoop earrings to give the outfit a bit of an edgier look.

Lace Detail Shirt Dress: Oasis

Shoes: Botanical Flower Keds

Hoop Earrings: Topshop

OOTD | Platforms & Flares

I remember when people started wearing skinny jeans I thought they were the most hideous and unflattering things ever and vowed I'd never wear them. Long live boot cut jeans. Almost a decade later I can honestly say I've barely worn anything other than skinny jeans or jeggings and I certainly didn't think I'd be writing a post about wearing flares. This is actually my second outfit post about flares, although last year when I wore them I don't think they'd quite caught on!   

I adore these light wash flares and I've gone to town with the 70's trend wearing them with tan colours and platforms. 

I've kept my accessories black to tie in the leopard print and my shades. This handbag is amazing as it has lots of different compartments and a pull out clutch if you want to switch from day to night. Both the bag and watch have really nice rose gold details. 

OOTD: 

Sunglasses: Tom Ford

Leopard print: Mink Pink - I got this from Mink Pink a few years ago so it's no longer available but below I have suggested some great alternatives such as this shirt or this vest. 

Flares: Motto Miller Flared Jeans, Topshop

Platforms: Hitch 70's Suede Clog Boots, Topshop

Handbag: Reflections, Folli Follie

Necklace: Topshop

Watch: Dynasty, Folli Follie

The best thing about shooting this outfit was that I got photobombed by a pug!

OOTD - New York Style

I have to say I found it really hard to dress appropriately in New York. Outside it was hot, a little muggy, or there would be torrential rain and thunderstorms, whereas when you went indoors it was like stepping into the Arctic. I absolutely adore the States, especially New York, but the one thing I don't get is the fascination with air con. There is literally air con in every single building and it chills me to my very bones. It's the devil!

I decided to layer my clothes with a big duster coat from Oasis which is loved by my absolute girl crush Mollie King. It's easy to take on and off and I think looks super stylish. Underneath I wore my crop top from my newest discovery, eco-friendly and the all round amazing Reformation. I wore these with cropped white jeans, which kept me warm indoors but also reflected the heat outdoors. 

For footwear I needed to stick to something comfortable for a day shopping in the city so I wore my botanical flower print Keds. These are genuinely the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I am actually interested to know what you think the comfiest footwear is as I would almost put money on them being Keds!

I accessorised with some super cool retro Tom Fraud shades and my favourite necklace from Claire's Accessories. I kid you not about three seperate people came up to my in designer department store Sak's to tell me how nice many necklace was and there were amazed it wasn't designer!

I kept my hair in a very messy bun and added some red lipstick in order to distract attention away from my jet lagged eyes. This is my favourite shade of red lipstick I've ever come across, and I also think it goes really well with the khaki and black of my outfit. 

OOTD:

Duster Coat: Oasis, loved by Mollie King

Crop Top: Reformation

White jeans: Oasis

Shoes: Keds

Sunglasses: Tom Ford

Necklace: Claire's

OOTD | Sexy Skirt

I absolutely adore this skirt, and it definitely attracts a lot of attention. I wore this to dinner during London Fashion Week and so many people came up to me to ask where it was from. It then got lost in my wardrobe but now it's Friday that means playtime and this is the perfect skirt for that! :)

Outfit: 

Skirt: Coast

Top: Topshop

Patent black stilettos: Marks & Spencer 

Handbag: Chanel

Necklaces: Claires Hamsa set

OOTD | Black is Best

Yesterday I showed you an all white outfit to a mixed response, so today I thought I would share an all black one. Black never goes out of fashion whether it's summer or winter. 

I've worn it with an animal print scarf and heels to give it a more summer feel - animal print is a huge trend right now too, and I love the pop of colour with the addition of the blue heels and matching blue and gold necklace. 

OOTD: 

Crop top: Topshop

High waist Shorts: Miss Selfridge

Blue Heels: New Look

Necklace: New Look

Animal Print scarf: Scarlett Black - this scarf is actually sold out but she has so many amazing animal print ones such as this one , this one, and this one. Her whole collection is pretty fabulous so I'd recommend checking out her website. 

Let me know what you think of this outfit :)

OOTD | Sunshine and Suede

The sun is out so I think that means we should get our legs out whilst we have the chance! I am loving the 70s trend at the moment and found this amazing suede skirt on the high street. `I also love this fringed bag, which is so on trend and perfect for summer festivals.

Outfit:

Top: Topshop

OOTD | LFW Outfit 5

The penultimate day of Fashion Week, and possibly my favourite outfit - if I do say so myself. My feet were sore, my eyes were tired - I suppose that works both way round. Anyway, I decided to dress head to in black and try and distract the attention away from my eyes with the help of big sunglasses and bright lips. I bought this lip crayon on the way to Somerset House and I absolutely love it - it's really glossy and moisturising and lasts for ages. My orange bag got a lot of attention - and I also saw lots of orange pops of colour on the catwalk so it's very on trend AND fits loads in it! 

Outfit:

Knitted Jumper with lace back: Coast

Cape Coat: Very

Cami Top: Topshop

Jeans: American Eagle (and they're in the sale!)

Boots: Marks & Spencer

Sunglasses: they belong to a friend

Handbag: Chanel

OOTD | Long boots

These boots are definitely made for walking - I bought them at Russell & Bromley over three years ago and they are still in great condition! Admittedly I need to suede spray them, but that's easy enough to do! Sometimes it's definitely worth splashing out on a good pair of shoes, as they do tend to last. 

Top: Michelle Keegan for Lipsy

Ripped Jeans: American Eagle - and they're buy one get one half price!

Boots: Stuart Weitzman

Gold hoop earrings: Topshop

Lingerie of the week | Best Strapless Bras

There's nothing more annoying than having a gorgeous top or dress, and not being able to wear them because of the strap lines. These deco bras by Freya are genuinely the best strapless bras I've come across, and they come with attachable straps. 

I'd recommend going a cup size smaller when you go strapless so you have a nice cleavage shape.

OOTD | That's Asda Price!

When I was 15 I had a top from Asda that I absolutely loved. People would always ask me where it was from and be shocked to know it was George. That said, I haven't considered shopping at George for years! 

A few months ago I went along to their fashion show, and loved the clothes, and recently got this jumpsuit. I love it, it feels good quality, and is a bargain. That's Asda Price! (Sorry, I couldn't resist). I wore this jumpsuit out recently and it definitely turned heads. I'd love to know what you think of it.

The jumpsuit has very subtle white patterns in the print so I decided to accessories with white. Black, grey, or neon yellow could look equally as good depending what look you want!

OOTD:

Jumpsuit: George at Asda

Shoes: Topshop - these are no longer available but you can get similar shoes here or here

Handbag: Miss Selfridge

Bangle: SW11 Whistle & Bango

Rings: Katy Perry for Claire's

I wore this jumpsuit to a product launch last week, but decided to accessories with a black python clutch and drop earrings.

Earrings: NowSeen.com

Clutch: Carnet de Mode

Winter Warmers | Scarlett Black London

You may have gathered from my previous outfit post that I am very excited for the weather to get colder. Well I decided to celebrate my excitement, and my love of a young British designer, my ever so talented friend Eliza, who has a brand called Scarlett Black London. She makes high quality clothing that is both classic and sexy.

I recently shot some photos for the new collection on her website, so I thought I'd share it with you on here as I absolutely loved the pieces and thought they'd be perfect for when the weather gets colder. Plus I'm all for supporting up and coming designers!

Black Tassel Fringe Oversized Top 

Available here. 

Beige Faux Fur Poncho

Available here. 

Multi-colour Faux Fur Collar

Available here. 

Grey Faux Fur Collar

Available here.

Mocha Faux Fur Collar

Available here. 

I must warn you that the following items are made of rabbit fur. Now I know this might upset some of you so please just go to another post. I never buy fur, I own one fur coat which was handed down to me. I think it's acceptable to wear vintage as you aren't encouraging the trade. The fur Scarlett Black uses is from animals used for food, so I suppose it depends on what your view is on that. I know it won't be for everyone and that's acceptable, but for those of you still with me, check out these beautiful and WARM pieces:

Cream Fur Gilet

Available here.

Cream Fur Jacket

Available here. 

Let me know what you think of her collection, and if you end up buying any of the pieces. She has incredible scarves on her website so make sure you check them out too.
