OOTD: Are We There Yet?

Rucksack – Lazy Oaf @ ASOS | Top: H&M | Leggings* – Oasap | Necklace – Marc by Marc Jacobs

If you hadn’t already guessed by the title, and the rucksack on my back, I’m off again! This weekend I’m back home to spend some time with my family before my sis returns to Hong Kong. I’m such an awkward traveller and I like to wear something super comfy, with minimal accessories.
I choose my Oasap leggings, as they’re soft and casual…and they always get compliments. Pairing those with my new H&M ‘très jolie’ top was an easy decision, being the Francophile that I am. I always wear my rings when travelling, but I dislike big necklaces so my Marc Jacobs one was an easy choice.
I also needed a new rucksack, as my last one disappeared into the gigantic hole that is beneath my bed. I needed something big, but I also wanted something fashionable – that’s where Lazy Oaf came in. Luckily for me ASOS have a great sale on Lazy Oaf items, even ones that are full price on the LO site! I picked the Betty Backpack as I’m a bit of a leopard print lover and it was perfect for what I wanted. The leopard print is soft and fluffy, and the little hands that tighten the backpack are an adorable feature.
I’m pretty pleased with my recent purchases and this travel outfit, if I do say so myself.

OOTD: New Years Eve Travels

Dress – Topshop, Necklace – Topshop | Rings – Tatty Devine x Rob Ryan | Oliver Bonas

Technically this is still today’s outfit, since I wore it until around 2am. I found this world map print smock dress in the Topshop sale, such a bargain! Being a traveller I fell in love with the dress as soon as I saw it. Since the print is so prominent I paired it with some simple jewellery – a necklace & rings. The shape of the necklace just seemed to fit with the print on the dress perfectly.
I went out for a big meal on New Years Eve so it was important to be comfortable. Since this is a smock dress it’s super comfy and doesn’t cling at all – so it was perfect. Usually I don’t think smock dresses suit me, but this has changed my opinion completely. I think this may be the start of something new!

OOTD: Winter Warmers

Coat – Primark | Jumper & Skirt Suit* – Oasap | Boots – Primark | Necklace – Tatty Devine
Every year I struggle with staying warm and fashionable. That’s mainly due to the fact that I need about 20 layers to stay warm. I really love cropped jumpers though, so this cozy one was heaven sent. The fact that it came as a cool ‘suit’ with a matching skirt only added to it. I matched my hair and necklace, which contrast greatly against the grey of the suit. Autumn/Winter also means I get to wear boots again, without looking like a weirdo. I’ve been waiting all year to be able to get my knee high boots out again! Finally I popped on my warm Winter coat to keep away any chills.

OOTD: Channeling Alexa Chung

Sweater* – Oasap | Skirt – Topshop | Necklace – Tatty Devine | Watch* – French Connection

Ok so I could never be as effortlessly stylish as Alexa, but I can try, right? Thankfully this sweater from Oasap has allowed me to at least imitate her style. The sweater is super comfy and really warm – I wore it to work without a coat and felt quite cozy. I paired it with my favourite skate skirt from Topshop and my tiger Tatty Devine necklace. It’s not exactly an outfit that’s going to walk down the catwalk anytime soon, but I like it.

OOTD: Gothic Queen for Halloween

Dress* – Fashion Union | Boot – New Look | Necklace – Tatty Devine

Trust me to shoot this look on an incredibly windy day. My hair, and the dress, were flying everywhere but I think it added to the photos. At least that’s what I told myself as I went through them all and tried to choose some to use. I won’t be dressing up for Halloween this year so I wanted to try and at least reflect it in my outfit.
Thankfully Gothic Glam is on trend this season! This dress from Fashion Union is perfect for me – black & velvet! I of course had to pair it with my new favourite boots from New Look. With ‘creepy cute’ in mind I added my new ‘kawaii’ (Japanese for cute) necklace. It’s a personalised name necklace from Tatty Devine in one of the new colours – peacock shimmer.
Happy Halloween Everyone!!

OOTD: Polka Loco

Scarf – Ffion Griffith | Shirt* – Oasap | Trousers – Uniqlo | Shoes – Vans x Liberty’s of London @ Office
I was just standing here casually and the camera went off by itself, I’m not a model. Sorry I couldn’t help myself – if you didn’t get that meme reference than educate yo’self.
We happened upon a Japanese tea room yesterday and decided to investigate it today. I popped on my favourite shirt and my scarf, which I actually wear more as a headscarf now. The weather was good again so I knew I had to make the most of the sun and take an outfit shot. Lounging in the sun in comfy clothes with some Japanese tea (genmaicha to be exact) was lovely. I’m going to be so sad when I have to return to London and can’t take an outfit photo everyday.

OOTD: When in France…

Knit – Zara | Trousers – Uniqlo | Shoes – New Look @ ASOS | Backpack* – Oasap
Ok now raise your hands if you hate packing for a holiday! Just me? Oh well, I just never seem to know what to pack to go away. I always end up with a random variety of clothes, accessories and shoes. I guess it’s because I don’t like planning outfits, as I know it depends on my mood. This Zara knit seemed perfect for my holiday in France though, not bad for a charity shop find, ey? I paired it with my Uniqlo legging trousers because they’re so comfy and chilled – perfect for casual walking. It’s quite a thin knit so I’ve been able to wear it by itself, as the weather is lovely and a jacket isn’t needed. Paired with my new backpack (that can also be used as a handbag) from Oasap, I am ready to go!
