On the look out for Spring








Fluffy pink jumper - Primark as seen in Glamour mag top picks
Leather trousers - River Island (not real leather, but super soft)
Black/white Converse - Converse bought in Office
Biker Jacket - Zara
Chain bag - Zara
Baker boy hat - ASOS

In this outfit I've teamed one of my coziest, yet sassiest jumpers with leather trousers for a laid back look. I love these trousers, they are super comfy and are really softly lined inside. They remind me a bit of some Gia style trousers, although mine are not quite designer they are good quality for the high street. They pull you in around the waist, but still feel quite loose and sit nicely. Great length as they suit boots and heels as well as trainers. I styled them with my converse for a more casual feel.

With the recent 'beast from the east' and snow blizzard we've had lately, it seems to be getting colder rather than warmer. Although this week I met a friend for lunch and felt like it had warmed up, I think I was being rather optimistic thinking it might nearly be time to get my legs out! We had a delicious brunch and lovely stroll, albeit a bit nippy. I saw a meme on Instagram that made me laugh it said 'this winter is like a girlfriend in an argument, storming out the room then coming back for more, shouting 'and another thing!' Which I think is relevant. As we saw a glimpse of Spring, the wintery weather returned. Lets hope this is the last of it.




On the topic of weather, i'm off on a business trip to Valencia next week! I'm really looking forward to it as its a great opportunity to work with a high end denim brand in the launch of their new campaign as the Brand Ambassador. I will be training over there in body optic technology as well as Photoshop among other things. With free time in the afternoons/evenings, i'll be sure to do a Valencia blog post when i'm back. With some tourist pics and further details about the denim brand and campaign, launching in Selfridges at the end of the month.

Watch this space.

Happy Sunday all. A Sunday well spent brings a week full of content.

The best of the Oscars 2018


Margot Robbie In Chanel. Chanel pieces are often always classy and beautifully made and this white dress showcases those strengths for Chanel as a brand. I particularly love the off the shoulder floral detail.

Jennifer Lawrence looking fierce and sassy in Christian Dior. The dress, hair and makeup really create a statement look. I am a big fan of metallic and the dress really compliments her figure.

 

Margot Robbie again, dazzling in Chanel Couture; not only was she killing it at the Oscars but at the after party too. What amazing Chanel dresses and overall gorgeous looks. I adore the layers of this dress, and delicate straps. The sequin and glitter embellishment really add glamour to the boho style of the dress. The chain ball bag is a v cute accessory too.

 One of my favorite celebs, Sienna Miller, looking fabulous in Miu Miu. I'm really liking the subtle pastel colours, great choice of colour palette, as we slowly transition into spring. With a pop of red on the lip and a Hollywood glamour curl, divine.


Sofía Vergara, looking gorgeous in a classic black off the shoulder ensemble in custom Ralph & Rosso. Love the detail and trail of the dress.

The beautiful Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also in Ralph & Rosso. This woman never fails to look incredible, no matter what look she is going for. This green dress, the design and mix of materials between the sequin body an sheer fabric is just stunning. Really elegant but with a modern day twist.




 Elsa Hosk in Alberta Ferretti. Loving the sheer and glitter finish on the dress with the big Hollywood waves and red lip. Really suits her.

Alessandra Ambrosio in Ralph & Russo. This Victoria Secret model has a figure and tan to die for. Not many people can pull off a relatively bare/minimal look in a nude colour and make it stand out. The embellishment, off the shoulder and side split detail really make the dress pop.


And last, but not least - Kendall Jenner in Azzaro and Christian Louboutin.

One of the few celebrities to get her legs, arms and chest out. However she really pulls it off. Being one of the younger attendees and current fashion model. She has really embraced the big sleeves, incorporating that trend but also kept it classic, wearing black from head to toe. With a a glimpse of green in her earrings.

I mean honey, if you've got the legs and figure Kendall.. flaunt it.

Some of my latest looks



Recently featured pinstripe co-ord - Zara
Chanel'esque chain bag - Zara
Black tassel earrings - New Look

In this looked I teamed the outfit with my black open toe, block heeled boots (will post soon, they're a old fail-safe piece). I put this outfit together for a dressier night time look. What I love about both the jumper and trousers, is that both pieces are very versatile and can be teamed with petty much any shoe/bag to change up the look.


 Grey beret - H&M
Distressed leather jacket - Topshop
Chain Bag - Zara
Fluffy jumper - Zara
Gingham leggings - H&M
Patent boots - Zara

Good old H&M fitting room lighting for that quick outfit shot. The wind was working against me this day, proving a bit difficult to get that pic outdoors. Standard winter day in Manchester. This look was one I through together for a day of shopping and food. Comfort with a touch of Parisian Chic.



Baker boy hat - ASOS
Bell sleeve jumper - Zara 
Flared trousers - Topshop
Patent boots - Zara 

You've got to love a nicely decorated ladies loo's haven't you?! I thought the monochrome tiled floors went perfectly with my outfit. Meaning it would be rude not to get a quick outfit shot. What I particularly like about the look is that it combines two of my favorite things.. hats and big sleeves. This outfit was the perfect chilled Saturday vibe with a hint of sass. V comfortable I must add.

Will I ever stop loving hats and big sleeves? Stay tuned to find out.
