#OOTD Get the Look Chelsea Casuals

Sometimes I just like to surround myself with pretty things and force myself on a walk. No where ticks those boxes more than Chelsea. With ridiculous transport links to the rest of London, it is pleasantly secluded, and forces one to walk in order to enjoy. Up for the challenge my main chick Princess-Anna-Anastasia and I headed Sloane Square for a walk down Kings Road. The the road was dressed in its Christmas best, sparkly, glistening and charming. Sometimes its a good idea to surround yourself in beauty. So pick up a coffee, grab an old friend & get lost in a new part of town. See how to get the look below.

Boohoo SS15 Preview

with Princess Anna-Anastasia! 

I had the pleasure of getting acquainted with boohoo.com's SS15 collection, and the brilliant team behind it during their SS15 preview last week. With a photo-booth, amazing music, ice cream and champagne the atmosphere was bustling, vibrant and fun & did justice to the collection that surrounded it.

Split into separate themed categories, the collection was created to reflect SS15's  trends and the diverse, rapidly changing interests of the boohoo fan base.
What I personally loved was that is each of the varied collections with in the SS15 collection had me picturing a different summer adventure. From Coachella in 'Wild West' to glamourous Miami summer nights in 'Poolside' and NYC clubbing in 'Geo Clash' the collection had me pining for the good times of summer.


Art Class,
Brilliant stand out pieces for statement city show stopping. I fell in love with this coat, and I couldn't believe how reasonably priced it was at £30.00

Culture Clash: 

The Clubbing Must Have. For your alter ego:  Think bright colours, ethnic prints and lots of embelishment.

Wild West: Perfect festival wear

Just look at that beautiful embroidered detailing!

Geo Clash

Stand out Bold, monochrome and geometric pieces to make any outfit outstanding.

Poolside: 

Floral prints with asian influence. Pyjama style silks and glittery sequined pieces, excellent for hot days in exotic places & glamourous late nights out in tropical climates.

Puritan: 

Fresh & feminine. For dreamy days in the country or  cruising around the hills of LA <3

Cotton lace top jumpsuit

Love these embroidered denim shorts!

Boohoo FIT

A new and bang on trend addition, the Boohoo Fit collection. I had the pleasure of meeting the innovative 20 something  designer, Sarah Cormak, who was the creative force behind this stunning 90s revival collection which includes all the hallmarks of that fresh era, with an updated noughties twist. The result? A unique street wear collection, which is as fashion forward as it is practical.

I love this blue snakeskin print on  this crop top shell suit.

2. Beauty Advent Calendars

I love advent calendars, a Christmas before Christmas, what's not to love. And whilst I also love chocolate, lets face it by day 15 of the traditional Advent Calendar Christmas countdown, all those additional choccies start have a negative effect on either the T-zone & the old waist line. Que an advent calandar that actually makes you more beautiful closer to Christmas- genius. A great gifting idea, and a guilt free treat to self.

AW14 Lust Haves: The Jumpsuit

Jumpsuits, they are a season must have, as the icy north wind takes a preparatory deep breath, ain't no body got time for an exposed midriff. Jumpsuits provide the perfect opportunity to keep it all sealed in. And if you are really smart, you can even wear leggings underneath (if no one knows, no one cares). You can dress them up for work or down for drinks, you can wear it casual with denim, or lux with silk. They are truly a season lust have and a winter saviour. Without further babble, I present to you a few of my favourite jumpsuits from all price ranges this season.

This jumpsuit is perfect for curvy girls. The exposed shoulders is flattering, whilst the girls get a chance to steal the show with this beautiful neckline. Meanwhile the legs look elongated with this flattering wide leg. Pair with ultra high heels for maximum effect.

#OOTD 20s style for your 20s

I have been feeling classic lately, it all started after watching Downton Abbey this Sunday, when Elizabeth got a 20's hair cut and became a 'new woman'. The episode had me pining for a 20's beauty look, and a quick fix for the fringe (bangs) I cut which I am now sorely regretting. The solution? Pin the hair back in a mock pin curl. More on the beauty side of the look later- the point is, that the hair sparked my decision to keep the theme & so I went for a complimenting simplistic 20's look with this H&M fur collar coat and mustard shift dress from Cos. Paired with ankle socks and we have a contemporary take on a classic look.

The dress I got from Cos, last season, but the great news is they have this very similar shift dress- most importantly in Mustard, which is basically the most important part, as the contrast in the black and yellow is what makes this look pop. The coat is in H&M, this season and in stock and was made from recycled wool from their renewable fashion range. How it works is you bring in your old clothes, and get £5.00 off your next purchase, and they recycle the material to make keep the fashion circle going. It is brilliant to see a brand being responsible, and being given £5.00 to get rid of unwanted clothes isn't too bad either. What is the best part is this is a wool coat, for £59.00! Thats a bargain!
