Wardrobe Essential | Blazers

Zara HerringBone Blazers, Burgundy ribbed Jumper,Topshop Mom Highwaisted Jeans and Converse Trainers.

Pick of the crop

Hello Everyone, How are we all doing this lovely Monday Morning? I thought I would kick off the week with my Wardrobe Essential- Blazers. A long time ago I wore Blazers as my outerwear always and then when I fell pregnant with my first child and I just lost my mojo because maternity back in 2005 was dyer. Maternity ranges have come on leaps and bounds since then, but at the time I remember my uniform was just Mothercare jeans and some hideous smock tops! I hated it and felt rubbish. Fast forward to now and of late my love for the Blazer has been well and truly re-ignited!.

The first one that has me in a tizz is the Herring Bone oversized Blazer from Zara. It fits in all the right places, but also has that masculine feel with it being oversized and as always with me it is so versatile! I have been wearing it with my Topshop Mom Jeans, boots, Adidas or Converse Trainers.

My second look is to show how a blazer can smarten up a outfit. This grey Longline Blazer has been on here before and was well received by you lovely lot. It really is a great piece to sling on with a smart pair of trousers or with a pair of jeans and all of a sudden you look put together with hardly any effort at all, that is always music to my ears!

Hope you have a lovely week and why not come and say Hi on my Instagram,Snapchat or Twitter.

Wardrobe Essential| The Leather Jacket

All Saints Bales Leather Jacket, Marks and Spencer Floral Maxi Dress and Animal Print Converse Trainer Boots.

My Old Faithful – The Leather Jacket

I thought I would start a series on my take of what is a wardrobe essential to me. First to kick things off is the old faithful- The Leather Jacket.

To me the Leather Jacket can be something of a icon statement piece or just blend into the background of a fierce outfit. No matter how rubbish you may be feeling that day, slipping on a Leather Jacket and a statement lipstick, you are then ready to take on the world so to speak!. My chosen Leather Jacket is the Bales piece from All Saints. I thought long and hard about this purchase, as for me its a lot of money to spend on myself with so many mouths to feed! If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know that the last Leather Jacket I bought was over 18 years and was woefully in need of an up grade so I felt it was justified!.

I chose this style because all the others seemed a little bulky on my small frame and I did look like a mitchelin man wearing them!. The Bales is a soft Lamb Leather (sorry!) I know for some this does not sit well, but for me if I am going to eat it, I should not be fussy about wearing it. It is slim line and has a double buckle on the collar. It has zip details on the cuffs which really helps when you are wearing a thick hoody or knit underneath to allow some well needed ventilation!.

Don’t get me wrong, you can get some cracking faux Leather Jackets on the high street for a fraction of the price. Also for what I paid for one Jacket you could buy at least 3 good quality copies. For me, I am into this whole minimal, less in the Wardrobe, investing in quality pieces malarkey! So each to their own, but if you do decide to take the plunge, there is no better time than now, as All Saints are holding a Instagram Biker Portraits Campaign where if you upload your photo wearing one of their Biker Jackets,then you could be chosen as the face of their new campaign. WIN,WIN!!

Pointed Ballet Lace Up Pumps

Pointed Ballet Lace up Pumps

Hey Everyone as we are now finished with summer and you can really feel the air thinning in the UK. I am desperately trying to get the last of my wear with my Pointed Lace Up Ballet Pumps before they go into retirement for the Winter months. With Miu Miu bringing out their gorgeous ballet Pumps and Zara bringing out a fantastic lookie – likey they have never been so sought after.

I teamed my ballet Pumps, (which I bought in the sale from Zara in January this year) with a pair of crop camel culottes from River Island (old) Similar, Guipure Bib Front white blouse from Zara, my all time fave Black Leather Bales Jacket from All Saints and the sooo beautiful Amazona Loewe bag from Uncloset. In this soft Pastel Pink which is perfect for this season.

I have worn these to death, and to be fair they could do with a spit and polish before they go into hibernation. So with a heavy heart I will complete the task and put these babies to bed for another year.

Are you into the whole ballet pump thing or do you prefer another? Let me know in the comments below. Dont forget to check my latest YouTube Video and I would love you to say Hi on my other Social Media Channels.

Comfort Is The Word

Zara Shirt, Zara Utility Trousers, Zara Pointed Studded pumps, Chloe Georgia Crossbody bag

Baggy Cargo Trousers

True to say I was that girl in the mid Nineties who wore the Combat pants with a vest, just like the British band All Saints were sporting at the time. Fast forward to now, the Combat Pants have been replaced by the Baggy Cargo Trouser. These babies are no different in style, although they have lost the embarrassing loops and strings that hung of the edges and looked like you belonged in a Zumba class. These Trousers are now taking centre stage and I for one, are loving the whole comfort theme to them.

For me not to add a classic shirt tucked in nicely would be a crime in itself. As the baggy cargo trouser can really take any style for dul-drum to da-d daa in five seconds. I love the versatility of this piece, where you can throw a pair of killer heels and glam it up or a pair of converse and take them straight back to comfort ville!.

I picked up these Baggy Cargo trousers from Zara a couple months back, and cant stop wearing them. I popped on a smart v neck shirt and pointed, lace up Pumps all from Zara. I think the Chloe Georgia bag from Uncloset, really makes the whole outfit a little more fancy and also keeps my essentials for the day to hand.

Zara Tie-dye Accordion Pleated Skirt

Zara Lace Maxi Skirt, M&S Black Vest top,HM Blue Denim Jacket and Wallis Tan Chelsea Boots

Tie-Dye Accordion Pleated Skirt

A couple of weeks ago I welcomed to my wardrobe family this stunning Tie-Dye Accordion Pleated Skirt from Zara. This Mermaid wash Lace Skirt caught my eye while I was walking past Zara in Liverpool and it just spoke to me. I’m always a sucker for a good maxi skirt but the Autumnal colours and Lace combined, I thought it would be a great transitional piece.

The Dilemma

So here was my dilemma, its a glorious afternoon, the weather says it will rain for the next 4 days. I have 20 mins to take these photos as I have a hair appointment after, so my hair is tied up. I also couldn’t find my Charcoal V- top that I had bought to go with the skirt, which is more flattering for the fuller bust kinda of girl. Drat!! So I thought I would plough on regardless. I think the photos turned out o.k but not styled as I would of like, hey-ho cant have everything.

You could style it now with sandals or a pair Birkenstock’s for a relaxed day look. Add a pair of mules for nighttime or like I styled mine with Tan Chelsea boots from Wallis to show how they are perfect for Autumn and boy am I ready for it!!.

New way to wear a old favourite

Miss guided black and white stripe shirt dress,Zara Grey long line blazer,Levi 711 jeans, Zara nude loafers and &otherstories crossbody bag

Don’t you just love it when you pull out one of your favourite dresses and a light bulb goes off in your head, ‘why not wear it like this’. With a flash you have got yourself a whole new look without even spending any pennies. This is what happened to me the other day. I was planning what to wear the night before ( I have to otherwise I would look like a bag of washing as I am everyone else personal stylist,hairdresser,maid,cook,cleaner,and the list goes on, that I don’t have time to think about me) and it hit me to team this together.

I bought this dress from Miss Guided last year and just wore as the purpose intended, as a dress. I love when an old fave can be re-used and look and feel completely different. I teamed with all my favourites blazer,loafers, comfort dressing with a little bit of oomph that my Miss Guided stripe shirt dress gives me.

July Favourites

Lily and Rose Jewellery

Lily and Rose Miranda Rose Water Opal Necklace,Earrings

If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know that Jewellery is my thing! So when Lily and Rose asked me if I would like to try some pieces, I jumped at the chance. Lily and Rose is a online exclusive Jewellery brand, with sophistication and elegance that you would expect coming from the designer Therese Zetterberg who has had much success with her Couture Bridal range. You can really see her inspirations within her designs with its vintage feel and bespoke characteristics.

The Jewels

The designs are stunning and it was so hard to choose, but I finally chose the following:

Miss Miranda Rose Water Opal Necklace, Miss Miranda Rose Water Opal Earrings and Miranda Crystal Headband.

I chose the Miss Miranda Rose Water Opal Necklace because of the rose gold hardware chain which is delicate and pretty. The Opal stone which is encircled by sparkling Swarovski crystals really makes it a stunning piece, yet its very wearable for everyday. I paired these with Miss Miranda Rose Water Opal Earrings which has the same beautiful design but are studs,which I felt more comfortable with as they could be teamed with most of my outfits.

The final ‘Piece Of Resistance’ is the Miranda Crystal Headband which is truly stunning! This headband is handcrafted and is silver tone brass adorned with swarovski crystals and is finished with a velvet ribbon. This headband is so beautiful it twinkles and glistens every time you move your head and it is a perfect piece to finish any hair look. I recently filmed a Bridal Hair up Tutorial featuring Miranda Crystal Headband why not take a look and see it for yourself. I wore this headband all day and found it so incredibly comfortable, it would be perfect for an all day affair. The best bit with a headband having a ribbon is you can fashion it into many different hair designs, I have managed two and I am not done yet!

I loved the pieces I picked and have really enjoyed styling them. You can take a look at the beautiful range here Lily and Rose and check out their Instagram Lilyandrosebyzetterberg for more inspiration.
