OOTD: London Fashion Week – Sick Day

Jacket – H&M | Dress – Topshop | Boots* – UGG | Backpack – Zara | Necklace – Primark | Watch – Marc by Marc Jacobs

I was pretty sad I didn’t get to make it to London Fashion Week this season. I’m not a massive fan of catwalks but I do enjoy seeing everyone’s street style. I had been hoping to pop down and take some photos of everyone this time round. Unfortunately I’m stuck inside and have been told not to go out by my doctor. I did go out for 5 minutes though as I really wanted to make an outfit post.
UGG recently sent me over a pair of their boots to keep me comfy and warm this LFW. Whereas unfortunately I won’t be able to run about Somerset House in them, I still love them. I’ve never owned a pair of UGG boots before, mainly due to seeing so many poor rip-offs on the high-street. After wearing these Classic Leather UGG Boots though I can definitely see what all the fuss is about. They’re incredibly comfortable and looked cute worn with my striped Topshop Drop Waist Tunic Dress. Of course I choose to accessorise with a few bits of bling here and there, and my new Zara backpack. I’m so in love with how fashionable, yet functional this backpack is – well done Zara!

OOTD: You Can’t Be Me, I’m A Rock Star

Jacket – H&M | Top – Pull & Bear | Leggings* – Oasap | Necklace – Primark | Watch – Marc by Marc Jacobs
Not gonna lie, I am feeling a bit like a rock star in today’s outfit of the day. It may not help that I’m also sat listening to N*E*R*D’s ‘Rockstar’ as I type this. I challenge you not to feel sassy whilst wearing a pair of leather look leggings and a fluffy jacket though. I was sent these Oasap leggings recently, but I’ve been lusting after a similar pair for quite a while. The cut-out effect is simple but looks pretty cool. Even better paired with my H&M jacket. I wore this pretty much every other day before Christmas – it’s soft, fluffy and super warm. I did abandon it a bit after Christmas though, and I felt bad so I brought it back out today. The amazing necklace was a Christmas gift from my bestie Jemi, and I love it! I’d been looking at it before, which is testament to how well she knows me.
Looking at this outfit I should have named it something like 50 Shades of Grey. I have gone back slightly to black and grey coordinates, but I think this flows well. I can be excused if it looks good, right?

OOTD: Am I a Cat or Bag Lady?

Tshirt – Topshop | Jeans – Uniqlo | Bag* – Oasap | Necklace – Topshop | Bracelet – Rêves D’Hiver

As soon as I saw this t-shirt I knew I had to have it. The cute cats. The Breton stripes. It’s just absolutely perfect!  Look at it. Look at it!!
It’s also a really cute t-shirt to pair with plain jeans or a black high waisted skirt. I paired it with my Uniqlo jeans and my new Céline inspired tote bag from Oasap. Lilac has quickly become one of my favourite colours, so I had to go for this colour way. It also comes in mint which was a close second, but the lilac was just perfect for me. Hey, it’s affordable enough that you could get it both colours if you can’t decide! Minimal accessories and my cozy Winter coat finished the outfit off. I headed out to brunch wearing this ensemble and I felt subtly chic.

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.
