THE SLEEVELESS KNIT





Knitted Top // OASIS (See similar below) 
Jeans // TOPSHOP
Bag // ZARA
Shoes // MISSGUIDED (similar HERE & HERE)

I love this time of year, when the seasons are changing along with the wardrobe edit.
However, what I don't like is that the English weather can not make up its mind! We have had a few days of sunshine but I am sure the rain clouds will soon be back.

With the erratic weather the main wardrobe question I ask myself is what should I wear and buy whilst the seasons change into Spring. This is where the sleeveless knit comes in!! If its sunny your arms can be out catching the rays and if the rain clouds and cold weather descends it can be layered up over a long sleeve top or a wrap coat.

I have put together a small edit of sleeveless knits I am loving right now. Check them out below.

LOVING LACE UP

Top // MISS GUIDED
Jeans // ZARA
Bag // DEPOP (alternative from NET-A-PORTER or HERE)
Shoes // TOPSHOP

You probably already know this but one of the key trends this summer was lace up! It was seen on tops, dresses, shoes, even the outside legs of jeans saw the eyelet & lace up detail. This trend sees no sign of stopping for winter so I thought this was a great transitional piece that will take me between summer & winter whilst still incorporating the lace up trend. 

As we have not quite reached freezing temperatures yet I choose to style this blouse with  blue jeans & the Topshop 'Nugget' sandals (again note the lace up trend!). However as the months get colder I will be teaming it with a chunky cardigan, black jeans & ankle or knee high boots. This top would also be great for night with leather trousers, heels & a clutch bag. 

Finally, look at the bag!! I would love to say it is the real Chloe Drew, unfortunately not but it is a very good replica style that I found on Depop. I have included links above for the real thing & a great looking copy incase the real Drew is a little out of budget like it was for me! 

What do you think to this outfit? How would you style this top? Comment below or send 
me a tweet, I would love to hear from you.

WISHLIST. ZARA


Welcome to September! Now most people would be sad to see this pop up on their Twitter feeds or written over a Autumnal Instagram illustration. Not me! Now it is the start of September I am getting more and more excited about winter.

It is not just the cosy nights in front of the fire, bubble baths and Christmas I am looking forward to but like any one obsessed with fashion it is the wardrobe overhaul that has me most excited. Ankle boots, snuggly coats, wooly scarves the list goes on and on. So I thought I would start the month with a wish list of the items I have my eye on to kick start my A/W wardrobe.

My intention for this post was to create a wish list of items from a variety of brands but as I went through my must haves for this month I began to notice a pattern! The majority was made up of goodies from Zara so I have decided to dedicate this post to them. When shopping for a new season I find Zara is a great place to start. Their classic pieces create a great foundation that can be added to as the season goes on.

So here are my favourite Zara picks at the moment. The chunky knit jacket is the first on my to buy list closely followed by the heeled boots and the cashmere poncho!!

I would love to hear what you are you buying for A/W and what you think to my wishlist? Comment below or tweet me!

SUMMER SOPHISTICATION


D-ring Crop Top // ASOS
Grey Wrap Skirt // ASOS (alternative: ASOS)
Caged Stud Sandals // ZARA (alternative: Public Desire)
Embellished Clutch Bag // PRIMARK
Watch // Vintage Rolex (alternative: Michael Kors Lexington)

Maybe you have a wedding coming up or a summer graduation or even just a night out and are wondering what to wear... well this outfit is perfect for any summer occasion that calls for something dressy!

I was looking for an outfit to wear to a friends birthday. Searching ASOS I came across this wrap skirt and fell in love. ASOS had styled it with a black top which looked gorgeous on the model so I thought I would go for something similar with this black cut out top which I also found on ASOS. It has now gone down to only £8 in their sale so if you like it make sure you grab it whilst you can!! I teamed the look with my Zara caged studded sandals. I think they add an edgy vibe to the skirt as does the D-ring detail on the crop top. 

To finish off the whole look I styled it with this gorgeous embellished clutch from Primark, I know PRIMARK!! can you believe it? It has so much detail all for £10. It also has a chain strap so you can also wear it across the body if you wanted. I did buy it recently so it should still be in store if you want to get your hands on this beautiful summer accessory. 

What do you think to this outfit? How would you have styled this wrap skirt?
