Double Breasted Blazer / Scalloped Collar Shirt / Pointed Shoes

Hello all!

I'm completely breaking all of my own rules here. I never, ever wear nude colours. Honestly, I've always believed that they don't go with my skin tone and make me look like a corpse. So when I picked out this blazer from SheInside that looked distinctly more blush-pink on the website, I was mildly horrified to open the package to discover it was in fact... the dreaded nude. I'm shocked to discover that actually, I really like it! I think the contrasting black collar makes a big difference in the sense that the nude colour isn't directly next to my skin. You'll know how fond I am of the slightly androgynous, suit-look on women, so I'll definitely be wearing this outfit again and I think the jacket is slightly reminiscent of some of Chanel's styles, which I adore of course. I'd love to know what you think of nude colours, how do you feel about them?

Blue Boucle Biker Jacket / White Polo Neck / High Bun

Hello all!

Since I've finished university for the summer I seem to be visiting London more and more. My most recent trip was to catch up with one of my oldest and much loved friend, Imogen - who has studied photography so you may notice she encouraged me to be a bit more adventurous with some street-style-esque walking shots. I'm pretty happy with them considering I was certain I was just going to look like a giant lolloping bear with terrible posture... but let's get back on topic. As you can see, the rich, beautiful colour of this jacket went perfectly with some dangly earrings I had of the same colour. I'm not usually a fan of 'matchy matchy' colours in an outfit (unless it's a co-ordinating suit!) but with the simplicity of the trousers, top and shoes, I think it worked quite nicely.

Embroidered Shirt / Cobalt Blue Details / Wide Brim Hat

Hello all!

I love how the boldness of the blue and the softness of the cream patterns embroidered into this shirt compliment each other so beautifully. It's also scattered with other lovely little details; like the gold & white buttons on the cuffs and how the pattern flows over the back of the shirt as well as the front. I also seem to be wearing these earrings non-stop, I don't want to bore you by showing you the same things more than once in a short period of time, but I think it's nice for you to see what I'm actually wearing. You'll also notice I got Teddy the Toy Poodle involved too - he was groomed not too long ago so I thought it'd be a perfect time for him to make a little cameo!

Lace Cap Sleeve Dress / White Heeled Sandals / Giant Hair Bow

Hello all!

Truly, I must have attempted to photograph this dress at least 4 times and every single time I stepped outside, it began to rain. I managed to snap these on two occasions and you'll probably notice a small amount of inconsistency; I forgot which earrings I originally wore, so you have a selection of two pairs to admire... lets pretend I did that deliberately for variety. Of course.

I'm so happy with this Motel cap sleeve lace dress because the low back is cut perfectly, which means you can still wear a bra with it. I can't begin to tell you the number of times I've spotted a beautiful dress only to turn it around and find it's totally backless. So, in my opinion the design of this dress is utter genius. I'll definitely be wearing this dress whilst I'm in Paris in July. Let me know your thoughts on the backless/braless situation - maybe I should just be braver...

P.S. How adorable is this giant red hair bow from Rock N' Rose? I feel like a Disney Princess or a birthday present!
