Here one of my last looks from LA... This outfit fits so perfectly with the interiors at the Charlie Hotel. It's one of my favourite all time comfortable outfits to wear! Always love adding printed boots to any outfit to give it a classic western feel. I would of also switched the plain black vest with a vintage band tee or turtle neck for the colder months.

My hotel in LA was situated in the beautiful Sweetzer Ave and I couldn't help but stop and take an outfit photo. Each buildings were all unique ranging from modern sophisticated lines to a worn away white spanish home. I would happily take any of them to be honest! I decided to wear this beautiful floral slip dress from Nobody's Child to compliment the Spanish houses and the flowers growing outside them. Having on such a feminine dress I decided to pair with it my favourite boots from Public Desire and these studded hardware bucket bag to even it out.

A day full of back to back meetings last week in LA but I managed to at least captured what I wore!
MANGO COWBOY BOOTS (SIMILAR HERE)
A day full of back to back meetings last week in LA but I managed to at least captured what I wore! After a few cloudy days in LA the sun finally came out to play. I finally got to wear my Nobody's Child co-rd set and it was super comfy which was what I needed! I ended up walking up and down Melrose in my cowboy boots and had a lot of compliments with this 2 piece. Nobody's child is a brand I've grown to love quickly over the past few months. You'll see over the next few blog posts why as I'll be featuring their pieces. Thats what I pretty much wore whilst I was in LA! They both are such a perfect pair and really affordable too.

I forgot I had this gem of an outfit still to published from my LA trip back in March. I'm off there again this weekend for my best friends birthday so I thought I'd make this one live before it gets backlogged!
I wore this on the first day I was there - we checked into Tuck hotel the night we arrived and came down the next morning to grab some breakfast. It just recently opened in DTLA and it does not disappoint. I was obsessed with every single detail down to the layout and plants. We ended up turning the restaurant into a mini shoot location and captured what I was wearing.
I kept it simple in this gingham slip dress which fitted like a glove btw. Paired it with my fave all white trainers from Saint Laurent and accessories with my Saint Laurent bag and Ray Bans. Perfect for a stroll after breakfast which was what we did!

I've never worn a dress like this before but I love how simple and sophisticated it was! I toned it down with this distressed denim jacket and then added these polly cat eye sunnies from Topshop to give it a vintage feel. I also ended up wearing these gold heels to match my gold jewellery and surprisingly my new comfiest heels I own! I even wore them 'out-out'!

It seems like whenever I'm in LA, the more casual the outfit, the more effortlessly chic I end of looking.

Re-writing the style rules with River Island
Re-writing the style rules with River Island
I can finally share with you my new campaign with River Island! This campaign is all about breaking the style rules and mine was breaking the barrier between smart and casual.
I wanted to take something that is on the end of each spectrum and pair them together to create an outfit that you can wear to a meeting then straight out to dinner. Who other to take inspiration from than Rhianna - the queen of smart casual. I love how she can create such a bold look when she mixes casual and smart pieces together. You know how I love to create outfits that are fun and mix matching pieces - breaking he barrier between traditional styling and creativity so this was the perfect fit!
My motto has always been wear whatever the f**k you want and own it. You shouldn't care what others think about you or what you're wearing so just do it. Style is a way of expressing yourself in a personal and creative way! To view more of the campaign click here.
This post was in collaboration with River Island.

The perfect slip dress by one of my favourite brands. Ever since I've come across LPA on Revolve I've fallen in love with all their pieces...

Once I saw this slip dress I couldn't help myself but to get my hands on it. This was initially meant to be a going out dress but I decided to wear it more casually and it worked so well. I main thing was the colour of the fabric and how I could pair it with my go to pieces and it worked so well together. I've toughen it up a bit with my All Saints leather jacket which I've had for some time now - it's been through hell and back with me. My YSL arm candy and the white sneakers of course. By pairing it all with these items I've transformed something so smart and elegant into something casual and effortlessly cool!

St Martins Lane is part of Morgan's hotel group and they never fail to disappoint. I've written about the service in a few of my past posts and if you follow me on socials you know that I'm a loyal hotel guest when I find a great place - you can always find me here or at the Sanderson. I always recommend their hotels to friends visiting from outside the UK and they also say the same!
I legit wore this bomber jacker as much as I could since I got it. It's the perfect throw on with anything weather your off to a casual brunch date or to a business meeting! After my stay at St Martins Lane (my home away from home over LFW) I needed something comfy to travel home in. I've linked some alternatives down below too!
