BUBBLY AQUARIUS

Top: Zara, Dungarees: Alexachung, Basket: Fonott, Espadrilles: Viscata, Mac: Vintage Burberry 'The dark days are gone and the bright days are here...' It's actually quite unbelievable how much a bit of sun can change my mood. When the sun comes out I instantly feel happier, lighter and generally just more content with life. I'm not even asking for crazy high temperatures here, but just a good chunk of sunshine and vitamin D to warm my bones (quite literally - Elliott says I h

Shirt: Paul Smith (Men's), Jeans: H&M, Bag, shoes and belt: Vintage, Sunglasses: RayBan via ASOS I recently got this shirt Kindly gifted from Paul Smith (I chose it myself) and I've worn it so many times already in so many different ways that I thought I'd share with you two very different looks I've created with it as you know I'm all about the transitional and versatile pieces! First up, I've styled it as a shirt with jeans; adding these vintage lady-like accessories and so

Dress and faux fur coat: & Other Stories, Bag: Topshop, Tee: The Deep End Club and Boots: Eytys via Matches Fashion I feel like a silky slip dress is possibly one of the most versatile pieces you can ever invest in. Bold statement, I know, but hear me out. I mean in terms of ends of the spectrum, the options couldnt be wider apart (and endless in between). Obviously, you could wear it for best; I'm talking black tie - pair it with a strappy sandal and a red lip et voila, bell

I regularly refer to myself as a giant and at 5ft 11 I'm definitely taller than your average gal so my wardrobe heavily revolves around flat shoes. Growing up I hated being tall and would only ever wear complete flats on my feet, however as I've got older I've defnitely learnt to embrace my tallness and actually quite like it now. These days I'll wear a mid heel now and again, but I think realistically I'll always be a flats girl at heart. They work day or night without compr

Leather jacket: Acne Studios, Jeans: Vintage Levi's, Boots: By Far, Jumper: A Day's March, Stripe top: Saint James, Basket: Ebay and beret: Fanclub Recently I came to the realisation that, after seven blissful years, my Macbook was sadly dying a death and a new younger model needed to be purchased iminenetly. Queue the mammoth sort through everything I had managed to accumulate on there over the past 7 years.... including what can only be described as a wardrobe history datin

Dress: Topshop, Mac: Vintage Burberry, boots: By Far, basket bag: Fonott, beret: Depop To me, personal style is dressing for yourself and feeling comfortable, confident and happy in your appearance and what you wear. Personal style is something unique to you. Personal style differentiates you from everyone else walking past you in the street. Personal style forms your identity and most importantly I think, it makes you feel good. So, I thought it about time I talked you throu

T-shirt: The Deep End Club, Trousers: H&M, Boots: Zara, Jacket: Amazon FIND, Bag: Topshop, Beret: Vintage Since the age of seven when my parents broke up I have been brought up single handedly by my Mother, along with my older brother and sister, so it's fair to say that female influence has massively shaped who I am today. I may be slightly biased, but my Mam is amazing and quite frankly the best person I know, male or female. She has brought me up to be strong, independent,

Jeans and jacket: Levis, Faux Fur jacket: & Other Stories, Boots: Zara, Roll neck: Marks & Spencer, Bag: Simon Miller This dream duo was Saturdays outfit and I absolutely love a suit, so why would a denim one be any different?! Can you believe that these jeans and jacket were't bought together, as a set? They are literally MFEO and the blues are almost identical. Yes, they're both Levi's, but the jeans are vintage from Beyond Retro whilst the jacket is new season that I was k

Suit: Paul Smith, Top and faux fur coat: & Other Stories, Shoes: Gucci, Bag: Staud Ah, that age old saga of work/ life balance. Who can hand on heart sit there and say that they have got it spot on? Because I definitely cannot. If you have indeed fine tuned those spinning plates to perfection then you need a medal, oh and you also need to come and teach me how to tame my out of control crockery please. Since going freelance at the beginning of the year I stupidly thought that

I would have loved to have lived through the Sixties and Seventies. I just think everything looked better in times gone by. As i'm sure you're all aware by now I just love vintage, retro and anything that just looks a bit old and worn in, whether that be clothes, buildings, films, interiors or photographs. A lot of the outfit snaps I take are with East London backdrops (an area that I deem most to be like 'old London') or in locations I think have a vintage or dated edge. I t

Cardigan: John Smedley, Jeans: vintage Levi’s, Leather jacket: Acne, Shoes: Gucci, Bag: Topshop, Sunglasses: Mango Heading out to shoot this outfit (admittedly before leather jacket and shades were added) Elliott looked at me and said 'Alright Grandma' or words to that effect, basically insinuating that by my wearing of a cardigan, pension collection was imminent. You see I beg to differ. I am firmly in the corner of the cardigan and I’m fighting it’s case with gumption. Card

Dress: Asceno, Boots: Byfar, Bag: Topshop, Beret and roll neck: H&M I feel like it's been Winter here in the UK for about a thousand years now. I basically can't remember what it's like to feel warmth on your skin and be able to leave the house without approximately seventeen layers on. I must admit, I love Winter dressing - I love coats and jackets and layering however even the thick knit lovers amongst us are longing for a bare leg. Basically, I'm SICK of being cold. To mak

Blazer: Vintage, Jumper: Next, Jeans: Levi's, Shoes and bag: Chanel, Beret: Depop This time of year can be so uninspiring for your wardrobe and sartorial choices. The shops are beginning to fill with pretty spring selections however it’s still bloody freezing out there, meaning you require at least three layers, a scarf and a pair of tights for insulation. Now I always say I much prefer winter dressing, I love jumpers and coats and layering but even I’m ready to say seeya to

Jeans: Levi's via Beyond Retro (tailored to fit by a place in Soho), Blouse: Marks & Spencer, Boots: ByFar, Basket: Fonott The one ultimate wardrobe staple that anyone and everyone cannot live without, the piece that works with everything come rain or shine, the piece that never dates and probably the most worn item you own - yep you guessed it, the humble blue jean! I love jeans. Much like a striped top, you'll probably never find the perfect pair because just as you think y

Jumper, boots and Jacket: & Other Stories, Jeans: Levi's, Beret: Vintage, bag: Mansur Gavriel Tomorrow is my Birthday and I turn the grand old age of 28 so I thought I'd share with you guys 28 things I've learnt throughout my 28 years on this planet! Here goes.. 1. It's ok to ask questions - whether that be in work life or otherwise, i've never been the type of person who likes to ask questions and just try to get on as best I can and figure out as I go. I've always felt lik

Dress: Whistles, Coat: Vintage, Bag: Mansur Gavriel, Boots: ByFar, Beret: Vintage I love sale shopping. I love the thrill of the hunt, I love the justification ('omg it's less than half price and there is one left in my size, it's fate', 'It's twenty quid, it'd be rude not to', 'I'm basically saving money getting this' are just a few i've declared over the years) and I love the proud feeling of finding an excellent bargain, BUT I think the most valid point here is - do I actu

Top: Vintage, Dungarees: Alexachung via Net-a-porter, Shoes: Vintage Ferragamo via Beyond Retro, Bag: Vintage, Coat: Mango, Beret: Vintage Today I met my lovely pal Sarah for lunch at Apres Food co. in Clerkenwell which was an absolute treat. I had Apres Hash and it was so delish, they describe their menu as comfort food but without the slump and it really is just that - healthy AND delicious. TBH the whole menu sounds amazing (and everything is free of gluten and refined sug

As I'm suuure you're well aware (if you follow me on Insta that is), I spent New Year in Amsterdam with my boyf Elliott and subsequently have circa. 16726 snaps to share with you guys. I love Amsterdam, it's one of my fave cities, but it rained approximately 80% of the time we were there which I was most upset about. I HATE the rain, and I stupidly took a fur coat as my only element protecting option so as you can imagine I resembled a wet mutt for the duration. Anywayyyy, we

Boots: Eytys via Matches, Jacket: H&M, Skirt: New Look, Jumper: Alexander Wang, Bag: Mansur Gavriel, Beret: Vintage Yesterday I had a lovely little catch up with Amber-Rose and she took some beaut snaps that I love, featuring my new boots that I'm a bit obsessed with. I have had my eye on these clodhoppers for so long, um-ing and ah-ing on whether to get them, searching for the best deal (obvs) and then they sold out in my size on both Matches and the Eytys website so I had r

I thought I’d pen down (frantically type) day by day, my first week going it alone in the big wide world and becoming freelance. Making this decision was one of the hardest things I've done (and I hate making decisions at the best of times) but ultimately I said to myself what's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't work out and i'll just get another job, after all we only regret the things we didn't do right?! Dear diary... Day 1 - Tuesday 2nd January 2018 So unbelievab
