It’s that time of year again. Yep, I am back in London for fashion week and checking out the style for Autumn Winter 2018/19. It’s hard to think that far ahead when Spring hasn’t sprung. But I am embracing colour while I am here to try and get into a lighter mood for the season ahead. The weather has been glorious as my Mum would say, and it’s the ideal time to lighten up the textures and explore some new…

Vinyl might be more of a Winter texture, but it’s not exactly warm outside right now, so I’ve decided it’s ok to continue to talk about it. I bought my first vinyl jacket last year when Alexa Chung collaborated with M&S to produce a much anticipated jacket. It was eventually purchased online having sold out in stores and it’s been a firm favourite since. I love how vinyl catches the light; it’s like it has its own natural highlight and…

Is it Spring yet? Can it be Spring, like now? I’m all set for a new season and statement jackets are where I am starting my new season wardrobe. I’ve completed the initial wardrobe clear out to decide what I need and one common theme each year is how I invest in jackets and shoes. If you are a fan of jeans and a jumper, like I am, the easiest way to change up this look is to swap your…

The perfect summer skirt has been located and it has changed my mind about skirts entirely. I am a jeans fan. No, let me rephrase that: I live in jeans every day. I have so many pairs that I have to do a dedicated jeans wash each week. But I am being converted thanks to dresses.ie who sent me this lovely outfit last week. The skirt is one of those pieces that will work with every shoe you have (I…

Of all the trends I have styled I never know how to wear stripes in a way that suits my body. My body has changed so much over the last year with my fitness routine, it’s like starting all over again sometimes. But the stripes will not defeat me! I’ve teamed up with Karen Millen this week to show you how to wear stripes, my way. I think a vertical stripe is the best way to start. They glide downwards…

There is one denim trend that I have become completely obsessed with and that’s appliqué; but more specifically, pearl appliqué. In case you may not know what the term means, it’s a fancy way of saying, 3D elements on clothes in its simplest form. This new jacket from Penneys, which launches in store soon, is such a must have jacket as Autumn Winter approaches. As I mentioned in my last blog post, I wanted to change up how I shoot…

I haven’t been on holidays yet. Sadly I am not one of those people who is lucky enough to be on their sixth trip to the sun this summer; no, June and July are busy for me. Fashion doesn’t stop so neither do I. But it hasn’t stopped me from preparing for my holidays (in six weeks) and my search for the perfect summer dress. Dresses can be so hard to fit. I have big boobs, a small waist and…

After the weekend what was painted by Coldplay I am embracing the mood and making today’s post all about yellow jackets. Yellow was their debut single, I think 17 years ago? And you know it’s funny how I remember all the words to that but I can’t remember my times tables some times. Yellow isn’t in the number one spot in terms of a colour we like to wear but River Island’s Yellow Jacket is different. The shape, the fabric,…

Have you met Paloma? Well let me introduce you. The Christian Louboutin Paloma bag is classic tote design but with a few lovely features. Firstly, it has its own feet. Yes you read that correctly. She stands on small pedestals (“heels”); now this not only looks very nice, but it serves a purpose. The leather will never touch the ground saving its fabric from wear and tear. The handles have been inspired by showgirl legs; so remember that when you…

I love seeking out alternative summer prints, as typically I am not a “flower” girl. I like something darker with more edge, hence why I am usually in jeans and leather jacket. But over the last week I have been out at events and celebrating my birthday so I wanted to find a combination of looks that some detail without being, you know, pretty. It just isn’t me. So step in the River Island Floral Duster Coat which is simply…
