RETURN TO PINK

Finding different and interesting places to shoot can have its advantages and disadvantages. This time it brought about a funny story, and a chance to show the authenticity of the fashion blogger. Whilst preparing to pose with this pebbledash wall as my backdrop, a local man passed by, questioning whether I was wearing anything under my coat; I replied with the obvious, although he was intent on giving posing advice, leaning against the wall with his eyelashes fluttering. He was unaware of what I was actually doing, which then gave me the chance to explain! He might not have been particularly interested, but he was intrigued in the concept. It gave us a good laugh and definitely had to be retold. 

The outfit - yet another pink ensemble, highlighting a recent purchase which I adored upon first sight. The zip detailing, A-line cut and short hemline of this skirt give it a 60's inspired look, something which I can experiment with many pieces in my wardrobe; combined with the subtle pocket detailing, the beauty is in the details. Grey is another highly circulated colour out there this winter, creating a softened tone when paired with pink. Concerning footwear, re-finding pairs of shoes in my wardrobe which have been so obviously staring at me everyday on their rack is helpful when adding variety to my posts. These killer leather heels elongate and add elegance; probably why they have been worn more and more recently...

CLASHING COORDINATION

Although it's a well documented trend, I'm not normally someone to experiment with multiple prints, let alone when they should clash in any other circumstance.

AQUAMARINE

After lusting over a navy fur coat before Christmas that was way too expensive for a student budget, I grabbed this bargain lighter version in the January sales this week, reduced from £70-£30!

WINTER FLORALS

A little bit of wishful thinking with some pastel colour and florals ready for Spring time with this look, except with no seasonal change in sight I added my white wrap coat as an extra layer.

GRID PRINT

Another piece of Zara perfection! This little day dress is a purchase I made for the winter months in December.

JANUARY BLUES

I'm unintentionally injecting a little summer into this look with these blue ripped jeans, which is only making me look forward to summer more.

THE CLASSIC CAPE

Combining a few items already seen on my blog I present a completely new monochrome outfit.

TRÈS CHIC

It's so fluffy! If you saw my instagram post back in November you might know that this jacket was something I fell in love with and my Christmas wish was granted when I received it as a present.

AIN'T NO HAT FOR THAT

These accessories have been on my to-do list to style with an outfit since I bought them in November.

NYE OOTD

Clearly it's a little late to be posting my NYE look to the point that it could almost be a throwback post, however here it is. Sparkle was the number one priority, as it is every year, so naturally I went straight to Oh My Love London's fabulous collection of sparkly lurex pieces and instantly found a winner! Playsuits, tops, dresses and shorts of all styles and colours to name a few in the selection were on offer to choose from. I finally decided on this glittery aubergine tight dress. The in-built shoulder pads add further structure and shape to the figure hugging piece and as it's so sparkly there was no need for jewellery, just a nice pair of heels! 

These shots were quickly taken on my phone before heading out for the evening, which meant that they came out a little grainy - hopefully you can see the effect clearly anyway.

RUSSIAN REPLICA

Happy New Year everyone! After a busy evening celebrating all the way back on the 31st December, this is officially my first post of 2015 (how strange it feels to type that!). It isn't specifically 'new year' orientated, as this is a look I had ready to post before I thought of taking any shots of my New Years OOTN, which will most likely appear in my next post. To start the new year off, I thought it would make sense for my first January outfit to be shot in the same spot that my first post was - my garden at home, where I grew up. A lot has changed this year, but I hope my blog can continue to grow with more success until I reach the 12 month mark. Here's to the best year yet for all!

From all white to all black. This look channels Anna Karenina, with the fur hat and snood combo making it especially Russian-esque. Yet another gorgeous purchase this Christmas was this amazing cape, bought whilst shopping in Barcelona. Like all shopping addicts and bloggers alike, I always have my eye on too many items in the shops when wandering, but as a student I don't always have the funds to buy them all (cry). A cape and a black coat were no exceptions on the top of my list, so I could kill two birds in buying this statement piece. This skirt is the softest moleskin material and begs to be stroked whenever I wear it. The boots are out once again, mostly because I haven't taken them off since buying them! The experience of wearing these shoes can only be described as walking on air; I can wear them for an entire day with no pain whatsoever - which definitely makes them winners!
