Minimalist

Jumpsuit - FOREVERMODO £19.99 // Hat - H&M £7.99 // Sunglasses - TOPSHOP £14.99

Even though Autumn is here and the cold is creeping up, couldn't help but make the most of the slight opening of sun I had today. 

I've always been a fan of the minimalist look, that why I love this jumpsuit from Forever Modo. There's no such thing as being 'too basic' when trying to create a minimalist look. Different styles work for different people. Have you ever heard of the term 'less is more'? This is the case, but not in the way that wearing less clothing means you're wearing more, that meaning has had it's time. But I'm talking about that in which that minimalism creates a bolder message. Take this jump suit, the blocking of the black and white is a bold statement in itself, and the waterfall leg flare in black creating an illusory elongated appearance, which is good if you're short like me. 

What I like the most about this piece is the neck line. It's not always about the cleavage or the chest area. This jumpsuit does a really good job in accentuating the collar bone area, making the shoulders the statement asset to show off.

Lastly, of course, what better way to dress up a chic monochrome outfit than with a nice hat and shades, very Parisian.

HALLoWEEN SPECIAL - which witch is which?


Playsuit - LILYLULU £29.99 // Necklace - LA MODA £3.99 // Hat - ACCESSORYO £16.99

It is soooooo close to halloween (3 more days), and if you're anything like me, I'm never prepared with an outfit. This means I'm  last minute trying to find things in my wardrobe which is relatively halloweeny. So I'm showing you how to make a last minute halloween costume.

As you can see above, I'm sort of, basically a witch. Doing this is easy as you will probably have most of these similar. If not, it's not expensive to buy and you can wear it all year round, not just for halloween.

Taking a modern twist on the witch look, I have chose this cute little playsuit from LilyLulu. The boho style cut sleeves go perfect for the witch look. Of course, you wouldn't have to just wear this for halloween. With the 70s vibe it gives, a white clutch bag and some chunky white platforms would really bring it to life. Right, to complete your last minute witch look, find a witchy piece of jewelry, like my necklace, from La Moda, and this hat.

Hello Autumn


Skirt - TOPSHOP £32 // Blouse - POPPUY LUX £30 // Jacket - CAMDEN MARKET £10 // Boots - SHELLYS LONDON £75 // Hat - ACCESORYO £16.99


It's been probably over a month since I have blogged, I have been super busy settling into uni. I've just started the first year of my law degree at Southampton uni!!! Very exciting stuff, but very stressed. I'm just starting to get back on my feet now, so I thought it was time to do a post. 

Apart from the changes in my life, one other major change is the season. Apart from it being absolutely freezing, I love A/W clothes! It's the season for big coats, winter skirts and boots. My lovely lovely blouse from Poppy Lux is the center piece for my outfit. Vintage inspired, this blouse has such a pretty delicate floral design in white and red; my favourite feature is the pleated round neck collar. I thought this PVC skirt hasn't seen day light since last year and it suits perfectly for blouses tucked in which creates an adorable Autumn look with some tights and season boots. Lastly, I've shoved on this beauty of a bargain sheepskin style jacket which I found at Camden market last year for a tenner (it's worth a look now).
