My Current Top Reads - September

 I Go By Frankie

Frankie is one of ASOS's new personal stylists and my, am I glad to have found her! Such amazing quirky style, that girl knows how to clash prints and textures, and still look 10/10 while doing it. Alongside that hair, she's a wonder and half and constantly inspiring me to add a bit of colour into my monochrome wardrobe.

 A FASHION FIX

Hannah Crosskey is another one of my new finds, she aced it at London Fashion Week, knowing just how to mix smart with casual. Her posts always make me want to spend a bit more money online, I've actually just invested in some mules because of her blogging. 

 Isabella Thordsen

Isabella is another one of ASOS's personal stylists, and my new all time favourite inspiration style wise. She gets me in a way no other blogger has, her love for oversized clothes and black and white describes me no end and if I'm ever feeling uninspired I know I can go to her Instagram and straight away know what to wear. If someone could dress me everyday, it would be Isabella.

SHOT FROM THE STREET

Lastly, Lizzy from SHOT FROM THE STREET is probably the newest blogger I've found and boy am I glad. Another babe who can work monochrome like no other and knows exactly how to rock an all black ensemble. She also has a top range of shoes, so much shoe envy.

Who's rocking your world blog wise?

Peachy Keen

Peach V Neck Tee - ASOS | Jeans - ASOS | Blazer - H&M | Plimsolls - ASOS | Bag - ASOS

Now my sister has gone to university, I'm without a photographer until I myself go back to university so sorry guys, you're have to deal with the back of my house and my pathetic tripod skills. Forgive me, it won't be for long!

This is what I wore when I went to a gig on Thursday in Manchester to watch Azealia Banks, yes I know what is wrong with me but I was helping out a friend and it was actually one of the best gigs I've been too, totes recommend to anyone!

I do love me some jeans, and I basically live in either these or my blue ripped up ones. This is a really casual outfit for me, but as concerts get so hot and sweaty, I didn't want to overcomplicate things. I love this v neck tee, you may have seen it featured in my latest haul post, it's such a lovely neutral colour and goes really well with my constantly lighter hair! 

I picked up this blazer from H&M for a bargain £15, I love wearing it on shoulders as a cape, it adds just a little bit of a classic cut to a very chilled outfit.

I'm also really into massively oversized clutches and as I wait for my latest purchase from ASOS to be delivered, I decided to use my brain and reverted the design of this tote bag, into a clutch but folding over the bag. Sometimes I surprise myself!

Yet again, sorry for the poor shoot location, it won't be for long!

Going Out Out

Vest Top - ASOS | Skirt - Zara | Heels - ASOS | Clutch - Primark 

This outfit was something I wore a few weeks ago when I went with some friends. I struggle to dress for going out as I find my style very manly/oversized/not glitzy enough for the clubbing scene in my home town. Rather then wear something I'm not comfortable in, I settled on this vest and skirt combo, with the addition of leather adding a level of dressiness but still being myself with the neutral colour palette.

As a 5"2 girl, I rarely wear heels as everyone already knows I'm teeny tiny but I'm trying to branch out and so invested in these shoe boots from ASOS. I know they'll look just as perfect with a bashed up pair of jeans as they do with a skirt and I can't wear to make them a main part of wardrobe. 

I'm currently away on holiday but will reply to all comments on my return.

Love Me Hate Me

Fedora - New Look | White Shirt - H&M | Blazer - H&M | Jeans - ASOS | Clutch - Zara | Trainers - JD Sports 

I basically live in white shirts nowadays so I thought I'd start doing a series of pieces on how I like to style them up, for casual and smart.

This look is one that would work during the day, perhaps to go shopping with friends or for travelling but could be easily changed up and made more appropriate for evening attire with a pair of barely there heels and a bit of lipstick. 

I recently bought this blazer during H&M's 25% promotion (check it out online and in store if you haven't yet!) as I've never owned a really smart jacket that would work with most things and can easily make a pair of scruffy jeans look grown up!

I toned down the smartness of this look with the addition of the Nike's and then added a dash of colour with this bright clutch from Zara, as I do love a good slogan!
