Victoriana

Outfit: Blouse- Vintage; Jeans - Levi's; Earrings - Topshop; Shoes - Office

I've always been a fan of cameo details, when I saw this blouse with one I knew I had to snap it up.  Its Victoriana resemblance with a high neck and lace detailing is certainly different from my usual style, however sometimes venturing out of your comfort zone is very fulfilling.  On more casual days, I wear the blouse hanging loose back-to-front.

Kimono in Black and White

Outfit: Kimono- Vintage; Dress - H&M; Bag - Topshop; Shoes - Primark

As mentioned in my previous posts (here and here), I love anything with an oriental flavour.  Fabrics, prints and cuts can all embody the culture in a distinct way.  I love the simplicity of the colours and floral pattern on this kimono shaped blouse, it's become a go to piece to throw on over the most basic of outfits.

Revisiting my Youth in a Duffel Coat

Outfit: Duffel Coat - Charity Shop (originally Marks & Spencer); Dress - Vintage

Duffel coats are an item that I either associate with the military or children's outerwear.  Over the ages of 3-7, I had several, ranging from a camel coloured one to all over green and blue tartan.   This red one I purchased in a local charity shop and I've found it to be a more vibrant alternative to my standard black, woolen coat.  Plus I love the detailing of the plush, large hood, pleating on the back and ample size pockets.


Apologies for my lack of recent posts readers.  A combination of uni work, deadlines and a ski trip has meant that my blog hasn't been a priority and has lacked in updates over the past month.  Now I'm back at home, here's hoping my posting will be more regular!

Casual in a Floral Shirt

Outfit: Shorts, Scarf (worn as a belt), Bag - Vintage; Shirt - Monsoon; Shoes - New Look

Last time I wore this shirt, here, I went for a more dressed up approach with a tulip skirt and miniature heels.  However, for a relaxed outfit for the weekend, battered vintage shorts, woolen tights and a pair of red suede shoes will keep the look casual and comfortable.

Enjoy your weekend.

Vibrant Orange

Outfit: Jeans - Primark; Jumper- Topshop; Shoes - Duo; Bag, Headscarf - Vintage, Bangles -India

For the rest of this week it's looking to be damp and drizzly, with heavy fog and wintry temperatures lingering around.  At my university, it's also what's known as '5th week blues', halfway through the uni term when everyone can become a bit despondent and depressed.  To counteract this, I have decided that every outfit that I wear this week will contain one vibrantly coloured piece, this orange jumper being perfect as it's both warm and bright.  I will also be wearing this orange skirt at some point and this red dress for a night out.

A Pretty Patterned Blouse

Outfit: Leggings - H&M; Blouse - Primark; Coat - Zara; Necklaces - Urban Outfitters

Photos of my sister

 One of the simplest ways to add interest to an outfit is in a statement piece, like a patterned blouse.  Personally I love those of the sheer variety with a mix of details, like the large bow and draping of the sleeves on this one.  Even when paired with the most low maintenance of basics - leggings and a trench it still looks like you've made a moderate effort.

Switching Skinnies for Flares

Outfit: Jeans - H&M; Shirt, Cardigan, Bag, Belt - Vintage; Shoes - Primark; Necklace - Urban Outfitters

Ever since Kate Moss and Sienna Miller began the hype surrounding skinny jeans, they have been the staple jean shape featured in my wardrobe.  However, recently I've been seeing so many people working the flare with a refreshing vibe, I wanted to give it a go.  This outfit of casual jeans and one of the warmest knits I own is something I turn to on chilly days when I'm feeling a bit under the weather.  Like eating comfort food, it's comfort clothing.

Happy Halloween !

Hints of Red

Outfit: Skirt - Zara; Blouse, Clutch - Vintage; Tights, Belt - Primark; Shoes - New Look

I'm always attempting to branch away from my standard black opaque tights and feature a more interesting style, be that patterned or coloured.  These lace tights fit the bill and add texture to an otherwise fairly simple outfit.

  Another trend I'm loving at the moment is 'colour popping' - picking one colour and featuring flickers of it throughout an outfit, in accessories, make up or a statement piece.  My colour choice for this compilation was vibrant red- in the lips, the nails and the clutch.

A trench works wonders at this time of year

Outfit: Trench coat, Hat - Primark; Jeans - Zara; Bag, Shirt - Vintage; T-shirt - H&M; Shoes - New Look; Necklace - Forever 21

At this time of year, a lightweight coat and plenty of layers is exactly what's called for.  For the past few weeks, I've been alternating between my trench coat and cargo jacket, not quite ready to pull out my heavy winter coat just yet.  The trench coat is one of my ultimate basics and I love the pleated detailing on this one, adding extra movement as you walk.  Paired with a mix of staples and a statement necklace, this outfit is perfect for a laidback and casual day.

Beaded Purple Collar

Outfit: Blouse - Vintage; Shoes - Office; Skirt- H&M; Tights- Primark

I love anything with a bit of beaded, sequin neck detail, especially all the collars and bibs currently in the shops.  This blouse I picked up at a charity shop a few weeks ago; the deep colour, beading detail and loose fit make it a great piece for dressier occassions.

Have a lovely weekend.
