OOTD: Daisy, Daisy…

Shirt – Primark | Shorts* – Warehouse | Shoes* – Oasap | Necklace – Tatty Devine | Tote – Beyond Retro

You know when you buy an item and end up wearing it the day after? Yeah that, with this shirt. I didn’t have the patience to wait to wear it. Luckily the weather was amazing this weekend so I didn’t need to.
I realise I went a bit floral with the shirt and trainers, but hopefully it’s not ott. The shirt I picked up in Primark as I just loved the casual cut and the cute print. The trainers are from Oasap and just seemed like a fun way to wear comfy shoes. I hate being stuck in uncomfortable shoes, but I still want to look good. It’s a conundrum! I really wanted the pastel blue version but they’d sold out in my size. It wasn’t meant to be. Frida? Well she just seemed to fit in with the vibe of the whole outfit so I added her too.

OOTD: Morning Bakery Run

Jacket* – Warehouse | Top – Pull & Bear | Leggings* – Oasap | Necklace – Topshop | Bag* – Oasap
Whenever we stay in France we make a morning trip to the boulangerie (everyday). There really is something special about having warm, fresh baguette and croissants for breakfast. Luckily for us we have one just over the bridge from us, so we don’t have to get up too early.
Dressing up in a town full of skiers/hikers means you tend to stand out a bit. Even my casual style means that people look at me as if I’m crazy for not wearing a gilet. Still, it’s not as if a few looks has ever stopped me before, right? Well that’s pretty obvious. Today I wanted to wear my new leggings & backpack from Oasap as they’re understatedly cool. The leggings have a velvet brocade design on them (detail photo) and I absolutely love them to pieces. The rest of my outfit was basically worked around the leggings, I’m not gonna lie to y’all. Still I think it all works together and my new backpack come handbag is super handy.

OOTD: Orange Fancy

Dress: Topshop | Shoes – Primark | Bag – Topshop | Sunglasses* – Warehouse | Necklace – Tatty Devine

On Monday I made my way to the Southbank Centre for a friend’s graduation. I wanted something special for the day, but something I could wear afterwards too. It took a few hours of trying on different shorts, blouses and dresses to finally find this one though.
The cut of this Topshop dress is lovely and the print is amazingly loud. I knew that this would be perfect for a hot Summer’s day by the Thames. It may clash with my hair but since when I did care about clashing colours? I’m just pretty proud of myself for not resorting to choosing a black dress for the occasion. Of course I had to find a colourful backdrop, that was equally as loud as the dress.
Thank you to everyone who has continued to read my blog during my mini-hiatus.
It is still a difficult time right now, but I’m hoping to update at a speed that is comfortable to me.

Photoshoot: Warehouse Fashion Blogger

Jersey Tee* – Warehouse | Shorts* – Warehouse | Jacket* – Warehouse | Necklace – Topshop | Sunglasses* – Warehouse*

Last week I was Warehouse’s featured fashion blogger! That meant I got to meet some of their lovely team and do a photo shoot with them. I remember buying my prom dress from Warehouse so this is a brand I have a personal history with. I was able to choose my outfit, which I did after being given free reign of one of the Warehouse stores. I choose around 6-7 items, but I knew as soon as I had it on, that this outfit was the one for me!
Even more exciting (and convenient) was the theme and location for the shoot. The theme behind the fashion blogger shoots is ‘Postcards from Shoreditch’, and I’m a Shoreditch gal! The team scouted some locations and we ended up outside Pitfield’s – a gorgeous furniture-goods store/cafe. The colours and contemporary signage made this the perfect place to take photos (with their consent of course). I had fun playing around with poses and acting all model-y and nonchalant – do you guys think I pulled it off? I had such a great time taking part and the photos turned out great too! I hope I can do more photo shoots in the future!
See my photo shoot and a small Q&A with me, here.

OOTD: Summer Blues

(Skater Dress: Warehouse*, Necklace: Gift from a friend)
Honestly the last few days (I’m writing this on a horrible rainy Tuesday) have been lovely.
We’ve had sun, and even heat, which I know some of you non-Brits may find hard to believe.
That meant that I was finally able to rummage through the depths of my wardrobe, and bring out my Summer clothing.
This dress (from Warehouse) seemed like a ray of hope when it arrived on my doorstep a week or so ago.
It was a reminder that one day we would have sunshine, so naturally it was one of the first things I got out!
I think this is probably the simplest OOTD I’ve done to date.
I’m not a fan of throwing on tons of accessories when it’s warm, and this dress doesn’t need it.
I think the cut and fit of the dress stand out enough by itself, so I went for simple accessories.
The necklace from my friend Anna seemed like the perfect accompaniment. 
I think I’ll often be pairing this with my tennis shoes when Summer finally hits properly.
