أكتوبر 2017


Guys, it's unreasonably hot at the moment, we are coming to the end of October and I just need this warm, muggy weather to come to an end! I'm far too eager to wear roll necks, chunky knits and faux fur coats BUT with the weather; it'll be a while till we reach for those I think. 

With that in mind, it's my chance to still get some wear out of my summer wardrobe and what better way to do it than by styling up an off the shoulder top.

I first got into off-the-shoulder tops at the start of the summer and wore one whilst on a holiday to Greece. It's not a style I would have previously gravitated towards but there's something seriously elegant and sexy about baring a shoulder, who agrees? I feel like the bare shoulder trend (apart from cold shoulder's) is a trend we should carry on into Autumn and here's how...




Pick a long sleeve - this is pretty obvious but a long sleeve top will keep you warm when it starts to get chilly and wearing an off the shoulder top in Autumn; won't feel so weird.

Team with a long skirt - your shoulder might be out but to counter balance the bare shoulder, wear a longline/maxi skirt and under the skirt you can even wear tights if you want to.

Throw on a jacket - In typical blogger style, throw a jacket on over the shoulders (because it's obviously not cool to actually wear a jacket haha)

Earthy colour palettes - summer is all about bright colours, white outfits and vivid lipstick colours. Swap to berry lippy shades, mustards and good old dark, earthy shades like blacks, greys, greens and browns...yum!

How much Camo print is too much? Well, I wanted to put that question to the test and decided to wear not one, but four types of the well-known print for Day 4 of London Fashion Week.

Many people are torn with this print. I personally LOVE it and find myself wearing it a lot during the autumn/winter months. There's something really cool about the khaki tones and the various styles the print comes in.



As I mentioned in my previous post here, Marks and Spencer's kindly gifted me some items to wear for this season of LFW and I couldn't resist this *jacquard skirt. If you look closely, you'll see that it's a hummingbird print. At first glance, it looks like camo and I love that! My look started with this skirt and I started putting together any camo items I already owned at home. I tied my lightweight camo jacket around my waist and on top, I kept snuggly with a cropped camo hoody (similar styles here

If you're wondering where the fourth camo print comes in...then take a look at my nails! Yep, I went fully in with this look and got my nails done with camouflage nail art. What do you guys think? Would you get camo nails?

Tips for wearing one print, head to toe


  • Wear various scales of the same print. One print, blown up or scaled right down can look soooo different. Play with scale!
  • Mix your colour ways! Pick your print and find it in different colours. Camo comes in so many different colour ways now a days. I especially love the pink/red camos you often see.
  • Scared of trying this look with a garish print? Start with a classic like polka dots or stripes. Mix and match what you already have in your wardrobe.
  • Choose prints that look similar even though they aren't! For example, in my outfit shown here, the skirt is actually a hummingbird print that resembles a camo print.
  • Same print but invert the colour way. If you wear a black and white polka dot on top, wear the same print but switch the colours for the bottom half of the look.

Continuing on from my previous London Fashion Week posts, here is what I wore for Day 3 and boy was it a goodun...in my opinion anyway haha! 

Never one to disappoint, I trawled ASOS White for something a little more adventurous than their normal, main range offerings and I came up trumps with this magical asymmetrical top

I can't explain how amazing this top feels on. It's crisp, structured and really quite bizarre but I think that's why I love it so much. Always on the hunt for more daring fashion pieces, I am obsessed with this top and I cant tell you how many compliments I had about it. I wear a 20/22 in tops and I ordered the size 18 in this and I was more than comfortable in it. 




I wanted my Day 3 LFW look to be minimal, chic and classy and I feel like this top and wide leg trouser combo did me proud! The trousers are an old M&S offering but here are some that are similar. I wore some old Adidas Superstar Bolds because, as you know I love these trainers and they go with soooo many of my outfits. 


Heels or flats for LFW?

When I first started going to LFW I thought I needed to wear heels. Don't ask me why I thought this but I thought it was the "done" thing. I quickly realised that for the amount of walking I do and running from show to show; for me, heels are out of the question. I leave them for the after parties!

I can't tell you how long I've been looking for a chambray shirt dress, guys! You know when you set your heart on something and then you get so disappointed when you can't find the perfect one? Well, I finally have and I absolutely LOVE it. There are so many good things about this dress, I had to dedicate an entire post to it.

Six reasons I love this dress 

1) First things first, the fabric is beautiful. It's thick, nice quality and washes well (gosh, I'm really showing my age here but hey ho, haha). I have lived in this damn dress ever since I bought it and it's seen a lot of washes. I love that even though this dress looks summery, it'll see you through the winter  and will look lovely with tights and a chunky knit over the top.

2) I love the the dropped hem design feature. All the shirt dresses I have spotted have been too short for me recently and I like to have the backs of my knees covered so I'm digging this dress!

3) The size range of this dress is great, it is available in main range ( 8 - 16) as well as plus size (UK18 - 28) 

4) 'No Peep' design feature - No one likes when a shirt gapes open and M&S have designed this dress with a hidden placket and concealed extra buttons to stop this happening - yassssss!

5) Linen rich - even though it's a thick material, it's not going to make you hot and sweaty... hallelujah!

6) It's on sale!! Snap it up here before it sells out! 






So, I've gone on long enough about this shirt dress and I'm sure you can tell; I love it! I kept the styling for this look very simple and let the dress do the talking. I love how the red pops and I'm looking forward to wearing it in a million different ways.
