Pretty in pink with Brandy Melville

Brandy Melville bomber

HOHXREVOLVE slip dress

Adidas Stan Smiths (similar here)  

Colourpop lip colour

I've been really into feminine details, shapes and colours lately. Not sure what is really going on but I'm going with it. Even people now say to me 'you love pink don't you?' - now that's when you know you wear it enough. One of my favourite pieces I currently own is this pink bomber jacket from Brandy Melville. You guys know I'm obsessed with Brandy right? So of course it was a perfect match to team up with them to style this bomber. Don't worry,  you'll be seeing more pieces popping up on my blog in the next few weeks as I've picked up a few bits.

I've paired the bomber jacket with this beautiful slip dress from HOHXREVOLVE collection. It goes so perfectly with the bomber and the classic white Adidas Stan smiths. Since everything was a bit soft & feminine I had to add in a dark lip in there to balance everything out. It really has become one of my favourite looks I shot so far I think. I think the bomber really completes it and it got so many compliments as I wore it the airport. You can find the bomber in the 'new in' section on the Brandy site.

Champneys spa day!

It's been while since I really took a day off and relax so a couple of weeks a go I decided to pop down to Champneys day spa with Oli's mum and did just that! We started off with a tour of the place (which is huge btw!) so we knew where to go when we had our appointments, to the locker rooms and of course where we were going to be having lunch. P.S I know I didn't take a lot of photos but I was just so zen through out the day!

We both ended up with having a full body exfoliation, pressotheraphy (as you can see in the 3rd photo), frigi thalgo bandage wrap, eye brow shape, pedicure and then a manicure to finish off. Surprisingly I really enjoyed the pressotheraphy which is the suit you have to be sealed in and then it compresses you up and down the body like when you get your blood pressure check up. Such a weird sensation at first but it was super relaxing afterwards. Oh & the lunch! How can I forget about the food? It was so delicious... I totally made the most out of the buffet and pretty much gave everything a try.  It was such a serene day that I left super relaxed and more clear headed to focus on the next few busy days I had coming. 

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the Champneys staff for making us feel great and relaxed during the day! Also they have a lot of spa resorts all over the UK so if you would like to try them out, just click here!

 I highly recommend it for couples or to go with your mum for some down time!

Vintage rays

 

Vintage t shirt via American Vintage

Topshop shorts

New Look boots

Fendi sunglasses

Been obsessed with these boots so decided to wear them everywhere. Heres one of the outfits I wore to the grove and to wonder around Melrose. I'm so surprised at how many outfits these boots go with considering I normally go for a black booty.  I've paired it with my go-tos - a vintage tee and cut off denim shorts.

First day in LA I spent the morning at Bottega Louie (of course!) and then headed to American Vintage with Diego. Always wanted to visit the store and finally got the chance to! It was way bigger than I thought and pretty cool. Highly recommend it if you guys come to LA.

I kept it pretty casual in an all black attire but with a pop of brown from my boots. I've never worn these babies before and surprised at how comfortable they were as I lasted all day in them and walked around a lot. Also picked up these denim culottes from the Toyshop sale for £15!?! I know right! They fit so well and I'm so obsessed with them!

Keep up with what I'm up to here in LA over on my snapchat if you haven't added me already! I'm over at 'idressmyselff' :D

I've teamed up with Urban Outfitters again to bring you guys a minimal and chic summer look! I haven't worn a dress in a while and it was time to come to terms with it. Even though our weather is up and down - when the sun hits, it gets so humid. This lightweight sundress from Mink Pink was the one! I love that it has no waste band or anything restricting as I DO eat a lot. So this dress is great for hiding the food baby! I've also paired it with some white Adidas trainers (of course!) my Celine trio and these sick shell sunnies. I wore this out to go do some grocery shopping and felt so comfy all day! Really hope the sun makes an appearance a bit more so I can style this dress with other accessories and shoes!

How to dress like you have your shit together... (When you don't)

FOR ONE OF THOSE DAYS...

IMAGES BY OLIVER TAYLOR

When you wake up super early and not had much sleep and have to be somewhere important - your brain goes to mush when choosing the right outfit.

IMG_8055.jpg

Here is my quick go-to trick when you have to dress like you have your shit together...(Even when you don't)

AllSaints tee

Vintage flannel Similar here

Saint Laurent bag

Ray Ban sunnies

ASOS heels 

Topshop jeans

AllSaints belt

First always have on hand a basic white tee and your fave pair of jeans. From this, you can layer pieces on that will camouflage a plain old outfit. Also if you have a preferred colour that will perk you right up, I suggest you go for that. Mine is red, it instantly gives me and my outfit a lift. I decided to throw on a flannel shirt. This oversized one is super cosy and still makes me feel like I'm in my pjs and is one of those 'lazy dressing' tricks. Of course, you can opt for a safari jacket, leather jacket or even a denim one. Whatever tickles your pickle. Next the footwear, I went for a comfy heel. I had a few meetings I had to go to and didn't have to walk from A to B for miles. A slight heel really makes you look like you're on your shit and ready to take on the day. These ones have an elastic fitting and are super comfy cause the heels are a block and doesn't have me stumbling everywhere. They also match the shirt - so that's a bonus! 

Last steps to completing this look is the eyewear. I normally opt for an oversized framed but since I wasn't hungover I just opted for these classic ray bans. Frames my face really well and the perfect accessory to hide any award eye contact when your people stalking on your way to a meeting. So a recap of the tips... 

1. Put together your base - normally a plain tee and your fave paid of jeans are a great go to

2. Layer on your jacket or overskirt with matching shoes. Shows that you've made an effort - when really you don't know what day you're on. 

3. Accessorise with some oversized frames and even an oversized bag if you need to! Stuff it full of breakfast and proteins bars so you're not hungry on the commute!

Hope you enjoyed this post! You could also apply these tips to dressing for uni as well!

Fashion Union trench

Zara tote ( similar

Zara joggers similar

Adidas Stan Smiths  

Silk Fred blouse

Ray Ban sunnies

When you know your outfit can do with a little more oomph... You go ahead and add a statement jacket. I mean - yes this one is still on the minimal side but I think the colour is just to die for! I'm so in love with this rustic orange tone and the fact that it goes with a lot of my basic white, grey and black outfits is a bonus! I've just thrown this on over a casual flared sleeve blouse, super comfy textured joggers and my classic white trainers. The ultimate sports luxe vibe and is super comfy for a day of meetings in London! This is also perfect for university too by the way and the big tote is great to carry all your books and laptop.

Red accents

I really feel like this year, I've grown up in a lot of ways and that's had an effect on my style for sure.

I really feel like this year, I've grown up in a lot of ways and that's had an effect on my style for sure. I thought I knew what my style was but I guess you are always in for a surprise. I've been loving more feminine tones, cuts and shapes lately. Something I had to adjust to for sure but really workable into my everyday wardrobe now. Been wearing a lot more colour and lighter tones lately too. Like this white flared sleeve blouse. It fits so well and is really flattering on a lady like me with a small chest. I'd love to find more of these blouses in different colours. Also these heels - such a beautiful and comfortable pop of colour to add to an outfit like this. Note to self... also need to get more in different colours. This is such a great outfit for a busy day in London. From meetings to brunches and even all the way into the evening with the girls for a drink!
