Sunday Style






Khaki shacket: Topshop 
White tee: Zara
Strappy cami: New Look
Cullotes: Topshop
Gazelles by Adidas
Tote bag: Primark 

So yesterday I had a lovely relaxing Sunday, breakfast and blogging in bed - catching up on some of my fave bloggers and a bit of Pinterest for weekly style inspo. Then I finally got round to visiting the Vogue 100 years of style exhibition at The Manchester Art Gallery, which I throughly enjoyed and will definitely be going again, and to purchase some merchandise from the gift shop. It was a fabulous exhibition, showcasing fashion of the era's and some very iconic designers, models and famous photos.

I've included some sneaky pics below. After the gallery, me and my friend went and bought a baguette followed by a coffee and pain au chocolat - feeling very Parisian indeed. 


Kate Moss 


Alexander McQueen - will always be one of my favourite designers/fashion artists 


Winona Ryder 


Fashion in the 80's - 'speed of life'

Maudie James looking absolutely fabulous in a long sequin dress and matching pink scarf and trousers so chic. I particularly like this image, as it shows the young man painting the image behind them and Maudie seems to be delighted by his sense of style, looking cool and hipster, how he would easily fit in today - proving fashion does come back around. And the chap who is admiring Maudie sat on the floor. I would love this among many of the others featured in my new flat!

A/W16 has landed






Leopard print Jacket: Zara
Ruffled top: Primark
Wax coated jeans: Topshop
Pointed boots: Zara 
Suede bag: Zara
Silver chain choker: Next
Western belt: Asos 

Sooo new season Zara has landed and they never fail to disappoint. With their new A/W lines looking classy, cool and bang on trend. They have really nailed leapord print for next season, as we know leapord print always makes a come back in the autumn/winter seasons, although it can be tricky to get it spot on. I personally can be quiet fussy about it, but Zara never let me down. 

The jacket and boots are two fabulous post graduation treats that my wonderful nan treated me too. We do love a little wonder into chester for some shopping and a bite to eat when I'm home. I teamed them with a summer appropriate top - only £10 from primark! And ruffles are still carrying through summer. A fave over the shoulder suede bag and new silver choker, which I like as its quite dressy. 

Even though it's still (supposed to be) summer, I couldn't resist and had to take my jacket and boots out for a whirl. However I paid the price at the end of the night with my first outing, the boots are paaaiiinful, but they are authentic Italian leather and are soft so I'm hoping they stretch on the next wear! You know what they say, no pain no gain.
 
I need to attempt to get into a routine of posting every Sunday, but it's hard now I've started my new job... First graduate job as a fashion import merchandiser and it's going well! I'll post some of the ranges I've been working on later in the year.

Happy Sunday! Xo
