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!

GRWM: Summer Casual

Just a quick get ready with me for all those casual summer days where you need to run some errands. I tried to follow the summer trend of looking fresh face and glowy with a pop of colour. I especially love the foundation I used - YSL Touche Eclat - it's so light and doesn't clog your pores. To watch how I achieved this look, click the link above.

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

Style Sunday | Floral Forms

This is the beginning of a new series mainly on my blog (may have previews on my youtube at a later date) of my Sunday outfits.

Floral Forms

I wanted to build my outfit around these pair of floral ankle jeans that I've had for so long but hardly wear due to how bold they are. So to keep things within the 'pastel' theme, I opted for a light blue shirt, nude peep toe pumps and minimal accessories. The outfit was surprisingly comfy and easy going even though the shirt looked rather 'prim and proper'.

Shirt: Ralph Lauren

Jeans: Primark

Pumps: Primark

Bag: Gift from Grandma

Watch: Aldo

Rings: Miss Selfridge

Nail Polish: Flawless by Essie

Nelly.com | Arm Candy

How I manage to find myself on random sites, I have no idea. However, I recently came across the site nelly.com which I believe is a worldwide fashion site that also sells top designer brands as well as high street. Their prices on most things are somewhat affordable for the compulsive shopper, or a luxury to the student that I am. Despite this, I am seriously loving the choice of trends and have everything for everyone and I am going to show you some of my favourite pieces; first is arm candy!

I used to be a fan of lots of bangles or lots of bracelets a couple of years back, but now when I look at those pictures I just feel uncomfortable because it all looks a bit much. After endless scrolling on Lookbook.com and other blogs I have the answer to 'to arm-candy or not to arm candy?'

6. Ben Leather BUDDHA TO BUDDHA £159.95

Personally, I think some of these bracelets (especially the rope ones) are way overpriced and I've seen some dupes and alternatives in high street stores for a fraction of the price. But I guess it's nice to dream. Some of these I understand are made from real leather, real animal skin, real silver and gold and all that jazz hence the price. But to be honest, when you are wearing it, who is going to realise whether it's real or fake? Good ol' High Street eh?
