OOTD | Black Fall Transitional Pieces Lookbook


I just love creating lookbooks guys! Recently, the cold weather and the running up to winter has sort of made me feel more reluctant to be too 'out there' with my clothing. My wardrobe has been focused on more essential/staple items in a rather monotone direction. Autumn/Winter always drives me to layer and play around with shape, textures, materials with keeping simple and classic. I feel like I really achieved this in this lookbook, demonstrating how I would show my style without feeling uncomfortable or over the top. The looks are transitional, meaning I could add or takeaway to suit the weather or the occasion. There's 2 casual and 2 formal looks...

I think I'd wear this look more often tbh... Its casual and so comfy! The back pack is so handy as it keeps my arms free .. and the boots add a little height due to the oversized shirt!

Let's say I had an interview or somewhere formal to attend. Black on black never had to be boring.. little additions such as the boy tie and the man like shoes spruce up any traditional look. Who said black tie was for the men?!

This is another well worn look of mine. These disco pants have been worn to the brim, going on 2 years now (n.b. make sure you NEVER machine wash them or it'll compromise how long the elastic will last!) They keep all my lumps and bumps tucked in perf without restricting my movement. I am IN LOVE with this woolen kaftan cape looking cardi that I thrifted. Its so warm and goes with EVERYTHING! Paired with some wedge booties for little more dressed up occasion like going for lunch or drinks.

Ring: Ebay
Disco Pants: American Apparel

This is rather cute isn't it? I thought I'd play around with textures as the whole look is black. I feel that the fur of the jumper really contrasts with the shiny pleather trim of the skirt and my clutch bag. And the same thing is kinda happening on the booties, suede and smooth leather. Its all just a fun look really. The circle skirt complements the booties for a girly look, but the black and gold hardware still give it an edge! Loving my booties this season tbh!

Jumper: Primark
Necklace; Primark
Skirt: Concessions in Debenhams (cant remember)
Booties: Miss Selfridge

OOTD | Clean Grunge: Revisiting the 90's


Just another quick outfit, reminded me of the 90's - crop tops, baggy coveralls, body con skirs, docs, the 'i can't be arsed' look... Thought I'd do my take on it but more polished version. Actually very comfy and very easy to mix and match prints and colours (seeing as I left my palette quite neutral)









Beanie: Primark
Crop Top: Quiz
Bodycon Skirt: Pilot (had it for years)
Oversized Cardi: Holmes and Co (thrifted)
Doc Martens 8 Eye Burgundy Patent
Necklace: Primark
Rings: Miss Selfridge/Primark

Style Sunday | Red Monochrome







Another Style Sunday for y'all! I fancied wearing my red jeans today which I hardly touch as red on me is just too scary. However, wouldn't be right to have it collecting dust in my wardrobe now, would it? So I decided to work round a monochromatic palette in order to keep the focus on the jeans. I love the dip low shirt as the pattern adds character to the look but doesn't subtract from the simplicity of the pieces. It was slightly cold in the morning for church, so threw on a leather jacket which NEVER looks bad on ANYONE! As per, kept accessories to a minium.


Jacket: Topshop
Shirt: Miss Selfridge
Jeans: H&M
Boots: TK Maxx
Bag: Dorothy Perkins
Glasses: Karen Millen
Watch: Aldo
Rings: Miss Selfridge
Hair: Expressions #33
