Summer Blues

Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a great week. As summer is coming to an end (trying to hold back the tears) I decided to wear this gorgeous jumpsuit that I found when browsing online at Boohoo. When I saw this online, I knew immediately how I was going to style this and I've been into pale pink (not helping beating the blues) this summer.

I hope you guys enjoy the last summer post of 2017 which I am sad to see the end of and join me in beating the summer blues...

This jumpsuit just screams sophistication and I wore this out when I went for dinner at Berners Tavern in London. Something that I love about this outfit, is that you can either dress it down by throwing on a denim jacket and a pair of converses or glam it up like I did. The cut on the jumpsuit is just below the knee, which to be honest I wasn't sure how it would work but I loved how it allowed the shoes to have their own moment since jumpsuits normally cover up the shoes. I loved the strappy halter-neck with the straps on the shoulder which were a bit annoying as one of them kept falling off. If I had to be picky, the fit of the jumpsuit was perfect apart from the straps.

I decided to pair this outfit with a few dainty accessories that I have collected over the year. The rings are from accessorize and the bracelet was a gift.I wore my favourite pink pointed heels which I won't go on about but I bought them a while back from H&M which was featured on my last blog post. To finish the look off, I chose this simple clutch which complimented the whole outfit perfectly (yes, pink again) and carried my lipstick and personal items perfectly. This whole outfit captures my girly style perfectly however this is probably the final time I wear an all-pink outfit.

As much as I'm going to miss this summer I am looking forward to the seasonal colours of Autumn (bring on my favourite month) where I will be showing you guys how you can still wear your favourite outfits but keep warm by layering. Hate to say this but so long summer, oh how you'll be missed till next year! x

OOTD: Ruffle Trousers

The sun is out in London for Bank Holiday weekend and what perfect weather for wearing these ruffle trousers which I freaakinggg adore! The ruffle trend has been seen on the catwalk for Spring/ Summer '17 and I am a big fan of this fashion trend. These trousers have a feminine touch as well as being on trend for this season. These trousers are perfect for transitioning from Summer into Autumn as they cover up your legs but still keep you cool with its lightweight material. This can be paired with a sleeveless cami for warmer days or a high-neck tight fitted knit for colder months ahead. At first I was unsure with how the trousers would fit around my hips but I was pleasantly surprised with how nicely they sat on my hips without highlighting any bulges after eating (ladies you know what I talking about) which I'm sure everyone is conscious about. I never usually like wearing trousers but these gorgeous tailored trousers have made me expand my style horizons without it being office-y or boring with the added ruffle...

P.S- Head over to my instagram to see where I shot this look which matches my outfit! 💗💗

I paired the trousers with a white cropped top from River Island (I'll link similar ones below) which revealed enough of my upper midriff for me to still feel comfortable in and not feel super conscious. The cut of the top was flattering as well as keeping it simple to show off the detail of the trousers. I kept the jewellery very simple too, as the ruffle detail on the pockets and hem of the trousers act as an accessory already (bonus) and makes the outfit more casual for the daytime.

Also these trousers are cropped which means they are perrrfectt for showing off these classy pink heels. I got these shoes a few years ago from H&M which means I can't find the exact pair but I will link similar items below. These shoes are the epitome of class and being feminine (my two favourite words) without them being too office-y for my liking. The heel is not too high which means they were comfy enough to walk through the streets of London. The soft suede material, pointed toe and the heel brings sophistication to the whole outfit and ahhh I just obsessed with this whole look!

I hope you guys have enjoyed reading this blog. Please leave me comments on what you want to see on this blog as well as any other items which you think I may love! x

Zendaya Inspired Makeup Tutorial

I came across this picture of Zendaya (woman-crush <3) and I knew I HAD to recreate it as it's the perfect look for this summer. This look is perfect for summer nights-out or even to a festival. I love having a glow in the summer and this look just screams golden glow (who doesn't want that?) I am in LOVE with this gorgeous bright orange lip colour which ties the whole look together and works beautifully with the golden tones on the rest of the face. This look requires few products which I have listed below and is so quick and easy to recreate. I love how effortless the eye makeup is and how flawless the skin looks which totally gives me summer vibes...
