    Not So Summery, Summer Days

    Hello August, you came around fast! Is it just me or are the months actually flying by? So much so that we’ve approached the last full month of summer and I’m yet to buy any summer clothes…What is all that about!?

    Clearing out my wardrobe did give me the opportunity to retrieve ‘lost’, barely worn summer type pieces, like this long, white, sleeveless roll neck from Free People, however I’m still yet to wear an actual summer dress this season!

    Jeans have been my go to this summer, as bar the few super sunny days that we have had, the UK has been a bit of a let down weather wise. I guess I can’t complain, as overall the weather here hasn’t been horrendous, it just hasn’t been consistently amazing either, which is something I should be used to by now.

    I guess you can’t go wrong with denim though and when you opt for a light blue shade of denim, like with these Topshop skinny jeans, it instantly gives a more summery vibe to your outfit…Teamed with these faux suede heeled sandals from Asos, I think I’ve found the perfect combination for those not so summery, summer days.

  • Sightseeing Attire

    Sightseeing Attire

    When I’m sightseeing and being a tourist I care far less about ‘fashion’ and what looks good and a lot more about comfort and what will keep me warm. However, my new found love for a more minimal approach with my dressing certainly helped me out on this occasion, whilst in Paris, as everything that I packed for my little city break was very mix and match. This meant that even when throwing clothes on and layering up, everything seemed to go and I felt I’d packed pretty appropriately for the trip whilst still feeling happy in what I was wearing.

  • The Same But Different – Roll Neck & Faux Fur

    The Same But Different – Roll Neck & Faux Fur

    Roll neck outfit

    I’ve become what you might like to call ‘an outfit repeater’. Long gone are my days of wearing a garment a limited amount of times before getting bored, as now I’m all for making the most out of each and every piece in my wardrobe by wearing them as much as possible. In order to not get bored, I’ve been having fun layering and mixing up garments with completely different looks each time I wear them.

    Mom jeans and heels outfit

    If you have seen my previous blog post, you’ll notice that I’m wearing pretty much the same outfit when you strip it down to the Mon jeans, roll neck and bag. By simply changing the jacket and swapping trainers for heels, the look is instantly smartened up a little.

    I know it’s not rocket science and mixing and matching items is what many people do everyday. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not something I’m new to, it’s just that before, I used to constancy crave new items in my wardrobe without fully appreciating the real versatility of many of the pieces that I already owned. As more and more ‘unnecessary’ pieces leave my wardrobe and I’m left with less clothes to sift through, I’m actually finding myself feeling happier with the fewer items I’m left with. I’m enjoying finding new ways to create different looks without the constant need for new garments.

  • Between Seasons – The Mondara Jacket

    Between Seasons – The Mondara Jacket

    It’s funny how the day I decide to get pictures in my new rain mac, is the day the sun decides to show its face. This did however make me realise that this is a pretty versatile jacket. I think we had the warmest day in a while (here in Manchester at least) the other day, and for the first time in ages, I didn’t feel the need to wrap up in multiple layers. The thing with living in England is, you almost have to be ready for anything weather wise. Even on the sunniest days, I often carry an umbrella in my hand bag (just incase).

    Pink Bellfield Mondara Jacket

    I think I may have found my solution with this light weight Mondara jacket. It’s loose enough to wear over layers on chillier days and the fact that the jacket is water proof means I’m always prepared for rain when I’m wearing it. It makes for the perfect transitional piece as we (very slowly) move from winter into spring.

    Another garment that I find perfect for ‘in-between seasons’, is the roll neck. I’ve been loving wearing this one in particular for that fact that it’s one of those pieces that is easy to throw on and that fact that it’s not too thick, means it’s easy to layer up too.

    It’s fair to say that I’m somewhat enjoying playing with different styles at the moment especially when it comes to mix and matching different staple pieces in my wardrobe. I recently created a very short lookbook style video showing a few ways to wear the cream roll neck, teamed with the Mom jeans in a few different looks, which you can check out here:
