    Last Saturday I had the pleasure of working with photographer Jamie Cowlishaw along with Hair & Makeup Artist Maxine Smith. It was my first test shoot of the year and so I could not wait to get behind the camera and get to work with this amazing creative team. It was the first time any of us had worked with one another but it didn’t take long for us to click and begin our creative minds flowing.

    I took along a small selection of my own wardrobe and we began working our way through outfits, mixing up styles as we went. From relaxed and casual to strong and fierce, we captured a variety of looks and I’m really happy with the end results.

  • Girl In The Red Coat

    Girl In The Red Coat

    It’s only eight days until Christmas Day and I can certainly say that I am finally feeling ‘Christmassy’. My presents are wrapped (bar a couple that I’m still waiting to arrive) and I’ve even been getting crafty by creating a few hand made cards. With more festive outings and gatherings ahead, I’m looking forward to getting even more into the spirit of things over the weekend.

    At the moment I’ve been living in this coat I bought from Asos. Not only is it a bold yet festive red, which I love, but it also keeps me super warm and the faux fur detachable collar is great at keeping me snug, especially on cold winter mornings. Unfortunately I didn’t do a very good job at neatening myself up for these shot and so the coat looks a bit creased and twisted but at least I was warm.

  • Whisky Cocktails

    Whisky Cocktails

    Last Saturday I spent the evening with the boyfriend and we went out for Thai food and cocktails at Chaoyophraya. I opted for a tailored look and went for an outfit I hadn’t worn before; Choosing, tailored trousers, a sleeveless shirt and a pair of black, gold studded heels. The only thing my outfit was missing was a black blazer, which is something I really need to invest in!
    I put on my favourite Illamasqua lipstick (shade Growl) and I was good to go.

    What I wore:
    Trousers: Mango
    Shirt: Lavish Alice
    Collar pin: eBay
    Heels: Kitsch Couture

  • Lavish Alice Sample Sale

    On Friday daytime I met up with LBD and we went to the Lavish Alice Sample Sale. I picked up a few items, including a tropical print blazer which I’d had my eye on ever since I saw LBD in it when she modelled their S/S 13 collection. I also got the shorts to match the blazer (it would have been rude not to). The shorts are a little big as they didn’t have my size left but as LBD suggested, I can take them up on my sewing machine to fit me perfectly. The 3rd item I got was a white jumper with snake skin print sleeves. Somehow I managed to try the jumper on in the roasting heat and although I was melting inside it looked great on! That will be an item that won’t be coming out of my wardrobe until the weather cools a bit though.

    What I bought:

  • Summertime Sunday

    Last Sunday was another scorcher of a day. I went for food and cocktails with friends and thought it would be the perfect day to wear my funky print LuLu & Red dress. I’ve had this two piece dress and jacket for quite a while but rarely get chance to wear it. Originally the dress was much longer but I took it up on my sewing machine not long after buying it. I now regret doing that a little, as I now prefer my skirt lengths longer and as you can see on the photos this dress is very short! Nevertheless, I still love this dress and the print has cocktail recipes on it, how appropriate. It was a really hot day again last Sunday, when I wore this dress but it got a little breezy later on, so I was able to wear my little matching jacket too.

    What I wore:

    Dress & matching jacket – LuLu & Red / Boots – Urban Outfitters / Bag – Zara / Hair bow – leftover fabric / Hoop earrings – H&M

  • What A Fabulous Day For Sunshine

    Friday seemed to be the start of this fantastic heatwave we appear to be encountering. I took advantage of the heat by going out during the day for the first time (in what seemed like forever in England) with no jacket on! However I was travelling from one stop to the next lugging a mini suitcase and my weekend bag around, so needless to say I was still boiling in my choice of outfit but at least I felt fabulous.

  • Something New

    Today’s outfit made me realise I have been purchasing one too many items from H&M as of late, especially as all the items I wore today were bought on separate occasions. Recently I seem to find myself going into H&M at least once a week and never seem to come out empty handed. They must have really great subliminal advertising or something because I seem to be unable to walk past without going inside…. Everything in today’s outfit was bought on sale and I hadn’t planned this when I got dressed this morning, nor had I planned to be a walking advertisement for H&M. Anyway the cost of today’s look came to a grand total of £19. Not bad hey, not bad.
