It was the second day of fashion week and post mac make-over and pre Mark Fast. A little tired after another 9:00am show but happy as I was taking my bestie to her first ever fashion show. I'm enjoying these cmid-calf length trousers, I predict they will be here to stay until next summer at least. They've been splurged all over the catwalk, so let's wait and see...

Dressing for the office whilst it's scorching hot out there is a difficult one, and made even more difficult when you get to the office and the air con is on full blast you have to end up wrapping yourself in the samples surrounding you. Luckily I'm surrounded by clothes.

White has been my go to colour this Summer, it's so fresh and clean and instantly looks effortless. I like all white, I find it always just looks finished. Topping it off with a couple of minimal accessories, for example my crazy ring and a belt. Simple yet effective. What do you think?

P.S. A dog with a stick came hurtling at me and I'm partially trying to hide mud marks in half the shots.

It's been over a month since I've done my last post and things have been completely crazy at work. All I've wanted to do is sit down and chill and I have to be honest. Plus my laptop is on death row so haven't really been able to write up anything. 

Anyways, the weather has been incredible and I find it bloody difficult to dress it ridiculously hot heat. So stressful. Luckily my Mum's old shorts are my absolute go to. Check me out in my second outfit wearing her shorts + you need to check out Harvey Nichols sale. My back pack was an absolute steal.

Jess and I have known each other since primary school, and yesterday we ventured back to some old memories. We visited a little garden where as kids as part of a school project, we had to plant trees which would soon grow into a beautiful forest. We managed to capture some pretty cool images before the sun decided to set.
Now the Summer has finally arrived it's time to whip out those high waisted vintage shorts and a nice little crop top to match. Keeping the colour palette minimal as ever, the white crop makes it Summery, I love the ribbed texture!

Jess and I decided to take a day trip to the Barbican where they have the most amazing conservatory filled with exoctic plants. Having a little wonder around we captured some pretty cool pics. Check out her website to see more! I love these shoes, they are my new found favourite, super comfortable they add a little height as well as looking pretty on the feet.

 So I spent the day with my friend Jess at these beautiful gardens. Doing several outfits in one day, there were a lot of unsubtle changing and steamy sweaty surroundings, ultra glamourous. I was doing some manoeuvring amongst the shrubery in a dodgey manor but all in all a very good day. This was mainly for her art project, the Portrait x Poser series. Go check out her blog! Super talented photographer. Thingssilike

Work has been pretty crazy at the moment, but it does come with a few perks. Lucky me I got one of the Biba jumpsuits which isn't out for a couple of months! So here's your sneak preview of what to expect. I love the graphic print, there's lots of it about at the moment with the added 80's vibe without looking to retro.

I've been meaning to shoot this dress for some time as it's one of my best bargains to date. During a trip to Portobello market, I was sourcing some inspiration for the new Biba collection and I happened to stubble across this knitted gem. And what do you know?! It's fricking Alexander Wang for a mere £25. Don't be too jeal, defs recommend you take a trip to Portobello market for some designer bargs.

Oooo I'm looking super casual in my check shirt and cap. A look I tend to don on the weekends because I'm super lazy. Shirt + jeans + vest = easy

 

Oh occasionally I enjoy a cup of tea. How rad.

I took a stroll with Jess in her back garden, which backs onto a rapeseed field which looked phenomenal. The bright yellows and greens against the bright blue sky was oh so pretty. Obvs went for a little photo shoot, dressed in my retro Levi's and a man's tee it wasn't the most feminine of outfits but it's a great casual look teamed with some Nikes and a lightweight coat which finishes off the look. Added a bit of bling to jazz it up as per.

Chilling in some diner drinking a milkshake mmmm. Ripped denim is key for this Summer, try yours with a bomber jacket and some sneakers for a casual look but add a bit of bling to finish.

Getting all Celine inspired with this checked dress. Summer is slowly approaching and a patterned dress is an easy way to step into the season.

So despite the one day of gorgeous weather in England, it's still pretty chilly. I've been looking for a parka for ages but have absolutely no money. I also predict that parkas are going to be the must have for AW14. Just you wait, seen everywhere on the catwalks. Anyways manage to nab this beauty up for a mere £16 on asos!

So my minimal colour palette of mainly black continues, but hello sexy vinyl dominatrix looking skirt. Jazz up a plain black outfit with some fabric play. The vinyl skirt just adds a little oomph to the look whilst the studded sneakers keep it casual. My t-shirt is very subtly burnt out which is an updated look to a standard long sleeve.
