I'm a lover of all things vintage and have been since I can remember.

I'm a lover of all things vintage and have been since I can remember. 

Before I was able to buy new pieces for my wardrobe I lived off hand me downs, borrowing my friends clothes and doing a treasure hunt in every charity shop I came across. But in this modern age I don't do many trips to cancer research anymore but to one particular instragram account - @eliavintage

They find the most beautiful pieces and are specially curated which is why you have to put on post notifications otherwise you'll miss all the pieces! They sell like hotcakes and its first come first served. I've done pretty well in snatching up some goodies from this vintage silk blouse, matching silk trousers and a vintage green slip dress (which I'm posting about very soon!)

For this 'off duty' look I've just paired it my favourite vintage levi jeans from RE/DONE, beautiful pointed boots and my mini palm springs backpack.

To finish off this look I added a classic red lip and a baker boy hat. Channeling some inner Parisian vibes whilst in LA. This outfit is also featured in my upcoming look book btw so keep an eye out!

PJ DRESSING

I'm a big fan of dressing for comfort so when I got sent this beautiful co-ord piece from Capulet I was so happy! I love the simplicity of the design and how its a tailored piece so it looks more elegant and expensive than what it is. I paired this outfit down with a white pair of trainers, chunky printed sunnies but kept it chic with my YSL sunset bag. Of course if I needed to go out in the evening for drinks and dinner I would just throw on a pair or sandal heels and slick my hair back into a neat minimal bun. Finish with a red lip and I'm good to go!

DARK PETAL

Romantic vibes in this beautiful floral velvet kimono

I have a confession to make - this is actually a kimono! But I was so in love with it I wore it as a dress. Be warned though, if theres a breeze you will catch it and be aware that your undies may flash some unsuspecting guests. This beautiful was a piece I picked up from Zara and I was so drawn to the colours as its perfect for my fall/winter wardrobe.

I've paired it here with a very simple gold choker so the focus is on the dress and its beautiful print. When you wear something that has a busy print - don't over accessorise. This one is from Brandy Melville.

I kept my make up rather smokey and romantic.

Playing around with pinks, taupes and purples. Creating a smokey eye with a lighter romantic palette is a great way to make the look more wearable for someone like me who is scared of darker colours. I think it compliments this outfit so well too and the hair.

GRLPWR GANG X ACCESSORIZE

AN AFTERNOON WITH GRLPWR GANG AND ACCESSORIZE

output_sGClNv.gif

Last week I had the pleasure of spending the day with some bad ass babes at the GRLPWR X Accessorize lunch at Eaton House! GRL PWR Gang are a collective of girls who love & support each other. Creating jobs and opportunity for each other rather than working against each other. We learnt a lot about each other, from how to deal with negativity, body image and sharing girl boss tips on our industry.

Eaton House was

such a dream

Every room, corner and even the art work looked like it belonged in Polly Pocket’s house. What perfect space to put creatives! Over lunch we discuss everything from body positivity - how we can use our platforms to create awareness and a realistic view on our body to help others. I think that sticking to showing who you really are with no photoshop or too much editing is the way forward. Young girls now are so cautious of their appearance and it was so different for us when we were young. We didn't know anything about contouring, filters and we didn’t care about how many followers we had. That’s why I love events like this, where we are bringing powerful creative and passionate influencers together, to share our experiences and share tips on how we can use our platforms to spread love for the younger generation.

Not only did the day involve us talking about hot topics - we also got to get creative and shoot around the house. We of course went crazy and took photos of every room and every corner, creating some great content with each other. There is definitely room in this industry for everyone and through creating that space of positivity, we allow great friendships, content and passion to grow. You have to have a certain attitude towards other girls, build each other up & support each other instead of pitting people against each other. Whilst at Eaton House, I also got the opportunity to style up Accessorize’s AW17 products, which I loved!

How cute are these rings? They go perfectly with this navy little faux fur number & are a great everyday wear.

MIXING TEXTURES 

Currently loving mixing textures, and tones to create a more elemental outfit. This faux fur navy bag is the perfect touch to my outfit. It surprising fits everything in and is a great fluffy accessory. The leather trousers also add another textured element and aren’t too over powering as the coat mutes it down. They are definitely my go-to pants for taking on the day as a girl boss.

IN THE PALM

CRAVING MY DAILY DOSE OF SUNSHINE

IMG_6077.JPG
IMG_6043.JPG

With the weather being a bit poop I thought we could all use a bit of sunshine. I'm craving the vitamin D LA was giving me - hopefully I can't wait go back in a few weeks! I miss wearing linen dresses, not carrying or wearing a jacket out in the evening and just the feeling of being so free.

Growing up in the heat is one of the things I miss most. I miss dressing for the sun and I'm already curating what I'm going to be taking with me when I head back to Thailand next month for my birthday. Don' worry - I'll be filming a lookbook of my outfits when I'm there!

GIRL BOSS SUIT

ANOTHER POWER SUIT FOR THE GIRL BOSS IN YOU

Obsessed with this power suit from Zara - the colour, cut and the way it makes me feel when I wear it! I kept it super simple here with a pair of black boots, cat eye sunnies and a nude coloured tee from Arket (my new found love btw!) It' H&M new sister store and they are opened on Regent Street!

Currently I'm moving towards more muted natural tones. I've even brought a trench coat in a similar print & it's something about this heritage style print that holds a spot close to my heart. I think growing up in a village in the middle of nowhere as a country girl has made me appreciate it a bit more.

We also shot this look whilst I was staying at the Rosewood hotel. I've been wanting to stay for years after my first blogger event was held there. So over LFW I finally made it happen and it was one of my favourite hotels so far. I was straight in the spa 30 minutes after I checked in and treated myself to their aromatherapy massages. BEST THING I'VE DONE OVER LFW.

Also how cute is my new Kooples bag? It's their collaboration with Emily Ratajkowski! They come in a smaller and bigger size too! I've been wearing it to death over LFW and it comes with such a handy strap.

A PLAY ON TEXTURES

 A MIXTURE OF HERITAGE STYLE & MILITARY THROWN INTO ONE

This look is definately one of my favourites I wore over LFW. I thought it was a bit too much at first but I quickly fell in love with it. It's a mixture of heritage style and military vibes which I didn't think could work together but it definately did!

I think pairing the studded metal belt with the checkered blazer jacket was such a great play on texture and dimension. I'm going to be doing this morning. I've been seeing fanny packs worn like this too with the Gucci belt bag & I think I may have to recreated it!

These boots are life! I've been obsessed with these boots since last season after I borrowed them from Chloe. Straight after I had to get my own pair and they are my most comfiest black heeled boots. You can get your hands on them here

Day 3 kicked off with a breakfast event in the morning, shoot time and I popped into a few events before the Versus Versace show. I did end up changing my outfit for the show but only captured this outfit in the morning! I opted for something super chic with this slip dress and paired it this coat I've been obsessed with. Also the leather baker boy hat has not left my head since it fell into my hands! To keep it balanced I decided to add a pop of white with the boots!

The second day at LFW I went for something a little bit more colourful and this satin floral trench from H&M was perfect! They did have matching trousers but I thought that might of been a bit too much. I've been wearing my leather baker boy hat every minute since I got it as it pretty much goes with everything! This season I've been limiting myself to just 1 show a day & we had Han Wen at Free mason's which ended up being one of my favourites.

LFW SS18 DAY 1

CAN YOU BELIEVE LFW HAS COME AROUND SO SOON?

IMAGES BY CHLOE HELEN MILES

Can you believe London Fashion week has come back around so soon? It felt like a few weeks ago that I was here in February and this year has definitely flown by. I wanted to show you guys my outfit for the first day. Weathers been a bit bipolar again today and I kept wearing my jacket half off my body. I've been obsessed with red jackets & coats lately and found this beautiful aviator one from Missguided. I've paired it with these Vetements style denim, a vintage t shirt and these studded 'Celine' like boots. Thankfully my schedule isn't too hectic this season and I actually have time to shoot, catch up on work and friends! For more up to date and BTS content, make sure you follow me on instagram!
