Street Style // Retro Village Collab

Hey Girls,

I am also collaborating with Retro Village, an amazing street wear brand which is home to the distinctive, exclusive and standout trends. They gifted me with an amazing crop top with their official logo. I've always liked receiving clothes with some form of a logo as you can be so creative with how you picture it and also asserts the brand name. The crop sweater has distressed sleeves, some of you may know already that I am crazy for anything distressed at the moment - and if you didn't, well now you do! I also really like the Raglan style of sweatshirt with a V neck, giving it that feminine twist. The material is super soft and thick - definitely a fave for AW16 ( especially for the weather).

I decided to go with an urban street style look by teaming the cropped sweatshirt with a pair of cropped leggings and a tartan shirt - which just screams stereotypical street style, however I really like my tartan shirt, it is a longline version which I got ages ago in Urban Outfitters, it is a light chiffon material and also burgundy, so a step away from your typical truckers shirt!

I decided to add my denim knee highs and my ultimate fave beanie hat to add to that streetwear style. With my leggings, I had to just slightly roll them up to show the ripped knees on the boots, this didn't affect anything, and you can purchase various cropped leggings from misguided ( I've linked these below under outfit details).

I also had my longline denim jacket at hand, as I love layering up and playing around with different materials.

Living Life in Velvet Knee Highs // 4th & Reckless Collab

Hey Girls,

I am probably one of the most luckiest girls in the world right now, as I am collaborating with 4th & Reckless, an amazing footwear brand that simply doesn't walk through doors, it kicks them down! I am truly grateful and so appreciative for such an amazing opportunity! I was given the choice to choose a pair of shoes, and of course I had to stick with knee highs - my faves!

“Yeahhhh I feel like me in this outfit” Said myself when I put this on.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots from 4th and Reckless, on a 3.5" block heel these boots fit so well and have such a soft feel to the velvet. The look of the fabric and feel of the material is super luxurious and the pointed toe adds that extra elegance. I love that they have also put a toggle fastener at the back of the boot to ensure once tied up - its staying there! This is perfect for me as I have always had issues with Knee highs and keeping them up, so these boots offer the perfect alternative so you can rest assure. Plus it can be tucked in with no fuss. They are extremely easy to walk in and quite easily an every day style boot. Velvet is a major hit for AW16, so why not hit the trend in style in these amazing knee highs!

I have been living in Knee Highs since the cold weather drifted in and I love layering up and playing with different textures - especially at this time of year, so this faux fur scarf & tee dress outfit with Velvet knee highs matched my personal style just perfectly.

AND I felt super comfortable in this combo and I was happy with the overall streetwear, stylish look.

Autumn in Suede // MissPap Collab

Hey Girls,

This look has to be my all time favourite - it just screams fall 2016, and I'm not even American.

MissPap sent me this gorgeous Camel suede skirt with lace up sides which has been seen on many top bloggers and celebs such as Megan McKenna! This skirt is definitely a must have, as lace up detailing is everywhere nowadays - why not break the norm and wear a lace up detailed skirt, rather than a lace up top or jumper!

This skirt is so versatile, I was able to pick out any old jumper ( my ultimate fave cowl neck jumper from Topshop to be exact! ) to pair it with depending on what type of style or trend I wanted to fit. So my jumper is Ice White, which only meant I had the amazing option to play around with a bit of colour. I opted for my Mink Suede Jacket and Nude Kim K Inspired Booties. The perfect combo.

The skirt is super soft and comfortable on and I'm definitely one for comfortability over anything when it comes to clothing. The skirt is suede and has a slight stretch to it, so it is totally adjustable and can be worn either normal waisted or high waisted.

Hope you like my look x

Sparkle // MissPap Collab

Hey Girls,

Sparkle this festive season in the amazing Baylee Sparkle Choker Neck Jumper!

This jumper is all things I love, Chokers & Sparkle - and just in time for Christmas! The amazing deep plunge gives you an option to bare all or add a lace bra or harness bralet to accesorise it up. I opted for a simple drop down choker, I find these are subtle yet so sexy!

I really love sparkly jumpers when it comes to Christmas, as it really gets you in the festive mood. This one is particularly special as you can actually see the sparkle - as I say if your gonna sparkle, you've gotta shine! and this jumper sure does that. Its super thick and such fantastic quality, plus is also available in a range of different colours - which you can shop here.

I decided to wear my Grey acid wash jeans from Zuzuricigi, I absolutely love these jeans! They are super comfortable and are such a versatile colour!

Rock & Ripped // MissPap Collab

Hey Girls,

So I am super excited to announce that I am collaborating with MISSPAP!!

So, to mark this special occasion, I decided to shoot somewhere different and took a trip down to South Kensington, to the beautiful Onslow Square- a bloggers paradise!

T-shirt dresses are so easy to style and definitely my go to when I'm feeling more casual, but who says casual has to look casual anyways! I especially love this one from MissPap as it is a half & half printed tee dress - which are so on trend right now! They actually have a HUGE selection of tee dresses, if you happen to share my love for them.. take a look here

I am probably most comfortable when I'm in my knee highs, so I decided to go for a denim on denim look, with a ripped denim jacket and knee highs with a twist - yes they're denim too! and ripped at the knee also! Definitely my fave knee highs of all time - and I have to admit I own a hell of a lot!

Hope you like my Rock & Ripped look x
