As we say goodbye to summer i’m loving the feeling of getting back into cosy knits. never thought i would be saying that as im a summer girl, always longing for the sun. I’ve kept it pretty simple as the jumper has the fringing detail with my high waisted black joni jeans from topshop and cream victorian style boots.
whats your go to autumn outfit? i’d love to know!
70'S BABE

All the 70’s vibe in this brown cord jumpsuit. I love how it looks more expensive than it was because of the fabric but it was actually from Nasty Gal!

A POP OF COLOUR
On the last morning of lfw i knew i had to shoot this outfit with michaela. i’m obsessed with the jeans to start off with. these are the levis rib cage jeans and they are so comfortable and flattering. i went for these ones that has the little gems on and i need to get my hands on the matching jacket to complete the canadian tux.
To compliment the fun denim i’m wearing i thought about pairing this yellow blouse with huge puffy sleeves to add to the drama. throw on my white pointed boots from zara and headed straight out!

LFW PHOTO DIARY
I got my films developed from lfw and i thought i would share with you guys what i got up to. i didn’t take my camera to a few things as i was carrying around a small bag and my camera broke after we took the last image on this post which was a bummer.
stayed at kettner’s in soho. one of my favourite places to crash whilst in london.
arrived at the apt x starbucks pop up and we were greeted with unlimited pumpkin spice lattes!
there was also sweet treats by dee’s basement and of course i had to have some
like this vanilla and lemon cake. i could of happily eatten the whole table if we didn’t have to leave for dinner.
trying to show off my new nails i got done at house of lady muck.
me with my cake. very h a p p y here.
more of my nails.
these two talking about music as usual.
how cute is kitty’s bag? i was obsessed!
we had dinner at temper. it was a mexican restaurant hence the tacos and margs but there was also a roast. i wanted both so we ordered both.
the next morning i had paul costello to attend.
it was a lot of florals, 60’s to 80’s vibes. brihgt colours and girly prints.
this was a bit too house wife for me but he did have this beautiful dress with a tie dye kind of print which was insane.
met up with kaylum and shot some outfit pics.
early morning rise the next day and started off with an acai bowl and matcha latte.
didn’t take my camera to the pushbutton show but came back to hotel and took it with me to lunch with vanessa. she took me to her friend’s poke place and it was delicious!
it was called polu poke and you can find them here
next i had to rush to my shoot with ysl. we filmed something really fun and i can’t wait for you guys to see it. i’ll keep you guys updated on when it will be live.
worked with Marcio again for this campaign and he does my make up so well. i asked for the jlo glow and he delivered.
then i had to come back and get ready before the big launch event that night. i had sherrie and ashley come over to the room to hang out. we had take out and caught up with each other. a much needed girl time.
i hadn’t seen ashley in a while and thats what i love about lfw. everyone is in town so you can catch up with your friends.
these girls <3
we had to use up the rest of the film on the roll…
my camera broke after this which was a pain as i wanted to shoot around the party. the bright side was i got to enjoy the night without over thinking too much about capturing pictures! i hope you guys enjoyed this round up! i can’t wait to share my next trip with you guys.
THE MASCULINE SUIT
Nothing i love more than a suit. either its a form fitting tux or an oversized casual suit. i found this one on yesstyle as it fits like a glove. the perfect olive green colour too to pair with my beige biancakourt bucket hat which i’m obsessed with! i’ve style my suit here with a more masculine touch with the trainers, oversized structure and the bucket hat. to make it more feminine you can slick black your hair, add some chunky gold hoops, a red lip and heels!
I’ve linked a few more styles that i’m loving down below!

A BIG MOMENT AT MONIQUE LHUILLIER
I’ve waited so long for this moment
I’ve waited for this moment since i was 15 and never thought i would be standing in a monique lhuillier boutique trying on wedding dresses. i made a last minute appointment whilst in la to try on this dress i had in mind for the wedding. i ended up trying on 2 other gowns from the store and it was such a magical experience. i was torn between one from here - simple, classic and super chic and the one from kinsley james. i ended up going to the appointment falling in love with a dress. it could potentially be my reception dress but i’m taking a moment to decide for now.
The everest dress
The corset on this dress was so beautiful crafted. It hugged in all the right places and was super comfortable.
This dress just magical. The dramatic ruffles and the lace was so beautiful.
THE SELENA DRESS
This dress was so perfect but unfortunately out of my budget. It’s beautifully crafted with one of a kind lace you can only get on this Melrose boutique.
I did add a choker to the dress above to tie it all together and it was insane. I did fall in love with this dress but it was just out of my budget unfortunately. I really recommend heading to the melrose boutique for an appointment as my stylist lindsay was really helpful and patient with me.
store address
Monique lhuillier, 8485 Melrose Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90069, United States
GIRLY VIBES
Taking another step into a more feminine wardrobe
I’m such a tom boy at heart but since I’ve gotten engaged I felt like I’ve gotten more in touch with my feminine side. I’ve started wearing lighter palettes, gravitate towards more to a feminine wardrobe and wearing a lot more colour too.
This dress sums up my current mood. Its girly yet fun and playful. With its floral print I wanted to keep the styling pretty simple. I paired with Daily Edited bag with it and wore my go-to trainers the Reebok Club C.
This dress is from a new brand called ‘Kitri’ which I’m in love with. Their pieces are worth checking out if you love feminine patterns with a vintage feel.
I love experimenting with different styles of dresses lately so expect to see more of maxi dresses, midis and playful silhouettes.
I’ve linked below my dress and some other cute styles I’m eyeing up as well!
