PASTEL PINK REEBOKS


Bomber jacket: Dahlia | Jeans: Levis via Motel Rocks | Belt: Topshop | Shoes: Reebok via Size? 
-----------------------------------------------

I'd been eyeing up these pastel pink Reebok trainers for a good while (insert heart eyes emoji) but at £72, I wasn't quite sure if I could part with my dwindling funds to buy them. I am sooo happy I did though, because, not only do I own nothing like them (mainly due to the colour and style) but they are also literally the comfiest things ever - it's honestly like walking on clouds. Ironically, I used to detest this style of Reebok back in the day, when my mum used to own a pair when they were big in the 90s. I guess I've come full circle now, because I absolutely love them - and I honestly wish I could have the pastel blue pair too! 

I've featured this Dahlia silk bomber on my blog before, but I thought I would style it a little differently this time, and pair it with a slightly more masculine vibe (even though the trainers are pink), and topped it all off with my trusty mom jeans! Such a comfy outfit, and I'm so pleased that I'm exploring colours outside of my usual monochrome palette!

PIMKIE PIECES



Jumper & Gilet: Pimkie | Jeans: Topshop | Shoes: ASOS 
------------------------------------------

I was recently in Madrid, where I picked up this faux fur gilet and maroon knit from Pimkie; a brand that is fairly unknown in the UK. It's actually a French brand, and shops are found pretty much all over Europe! I used to shop there quite a lot when I was younger, and I re-discovered why that was as soon as I walked into the Madrid store. It's such a cool and casual label, offering fantastic value for money pieces - it kinda reminds me a bit of New Look. 

I've been after a fur gilet for a while and really liked this creamy/brown-coloured one. Even though my usual colour palette consists of grey tones, I was really keen to purchase something that would push me to experiment with other colours outside of my comfort zone. I was also after a maroon jumper, and when I saw this one, with the tassel detailing, I thought it was just that little bit more unique than the bog standard knit jumper I see everywhere. I dug out my old ASOS studded monk shoes to finish off the whole look, teaming it all up with my ripped jeans of course! (I'm really gonna have to get myself some new jeans soon)

PUMA X RIHANNA // CREEPERS


Jumper: Vintage | Jeans: Levis via Motel Rocks Vintage | Bag: TK Maxx | Shoes: Puma x Rihanna 
-------------------------------------------------
When I received an e-mail from Footlocker upon the release of these Puma x Rihanna Creepers, it was an instant case of I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE! The second I got the chance, I hurriedly made my way to Selfridges in the hope of finding them there! They sold out pretty much instantly online as soon as they went on sale, so I was chuffed to find them in the Offspring store section. I was always a fan of the Underground Creepers, but I never actually went on to buy them because I wasn't sure if they were slightly out of my comfort zone or if they'd even suit me. I was soooo happy when I saw these because they're the perfect mix between a good old Creeper - with their chunky soles - and a casual Vans-esque trainer. They are so so comfortable too, and not to mention versatile and wearable! Ahh, in love!

DAHLIA DRESS


Dress: Dahlia | Sandals: Forever 21 | Arm cuff: ASOS 
------------------------------------

I apologise for the poor quality of these photos, (and also their season inappropriateness) but I thought I'd include them anyway, as I love this dress so much! I went on a cruise holiday about a month ago, and wore this Dahlia dress for one of the dinners on board the ship - it's so summery and pretty, but also unique due to the strappy back detailing. Dahlia is definitely one of my all-time favourite boutiques; they always have such different and gorgeous pieces! I'm also pretty sure that this is the only lemon yellow dress I own! Such a cute piece, appropriate for so many occasions!

BLACK BOW


T-shirt & Shoes: Independent shop in Spain | Jeans: Topshop | Cardigan: Pull & Bear 
-------------------------------------------
I love the black t-shirt/black jeans combo, and all-black outfits in general, but I thought I'd switch it up a little with this cute cropped t-shirt and bow detail, which injects a hint of femininity into a more masculine look. I went for a slight pop of colour with this ancient stripy green cardigan I found in my wardrobe the other day. Not only is green my favourite colour, but also I feel like it's a slightly more unusual and unique colour in the cardigan department for me, as I usually tend to stick to grey/burgandy/mustard tones. I teamed it all up with my new shimmery silver trainers, which I've been wearing to death lately. They make such a fantastic statement - but not too over the top - addition to a monochrome outfit!

ASOS X TEXTILE FEDERATION



Dress: Textile Federation for ASOS | Jacket: Topshop | Shoes: Adidas | Bag: TK Maxx 
---------------------------------------------

I am so in love with this dress by Textile Federation's collaboration with ASOS (here). I had never even heard of this brand before, but I adore so many of their pieces - they're all so funky and original. If I ever became a designer, this is the sort of aesthetic I'd go for; a lot of monochrome, and unique & awesome prints. Since I bought it, I've worn this dress two ways: as you see it here - baggy and slightly androgynous, with trainers - and also cinched in with a black waist belt, and paired with my lace-up heels! I absolutely love both looks, and what's more, I love how a unique piece like this can be a utilitarian day/night look, so you can really get a good wear out of it.

OLD SUPERSTARS



T-shirt: New Look | Jeans: Topshop | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Bag: Gifted | Shoes: Adidas 
----------------------------------------------

I'm so happy that my feet haven't grown in about 10 years. On a recent visit back to Gibraltar, I was able to rescue these ancient Adidas Supertars from being thrown out, and I've now given them a new lease of life, while also jumping on the all-things-Adidas bandwagon! I really love them teamed up with my ripped skinnies and my new tie-dye fringed top (what more could you want?) from New Look.

CREEPING INTO AUTUMN



Crop: Motel Rocks | Dress: Bershka | Bomber: H&M | Bag: H&M | Shoes: Adidas 
----------------------------------------------

This H&M bomber - which I picked up in the sale for only £15 a couple of months ago - is a perfect transition piece for the forthcoming colder weather. I'm really not much of a winter dresser, but as this bomber is actually quite thick and warm, it's perfect to create a funky look and also to combat the chill. I also recently dug up these Adidas high-top sneakers from my wardrobe, which are also helping me transition from Summer to Autumn. Trainers and sneakers, generally, allow for a seamless adjustment between the seasons, and while I'm able to ditch all my old sandals and other summery shoes, they're still not the warm winter boot that I'm sure I'll be sporting in the next couple of months!

MILITARY


T-shirt: Primark | Jacket: Topshop | Jeans: Topshop | Shoes: Converse | Bag: Accessorize
 ---------------------------------------------

I don't even know if they're an emerging or even current trend, but I've had this Topshop camo jacket since all things military burst onto the scene a couple of years ago, and have only started wearing it again recently! A jacket like this one is such a great staple piece that can be styled with any plain old monochrome outfit, but has the ability of adding a bad-ass and chilled out aesthetic without much effort at all - while also mixing up the colour palette. I love my leather jackets and grey bomber jackets, but pieces like this make a fantastic alternative for a stand-out look! My tip is to team them up with a shoe that nobody would expect. While these leather Converse are running on the same tomboyish vibe as the outfit, the clashing red colour draws in the eye and adds something a little different.

BANG FOR MY BUCK


Dress: H&M | Belt: Topshop | Sunglasses: Topshop | Sandals: Zara 
---------------------------------------

One of the reasons I love being back home is because I have the opportunity to rummage through all the abandoned items in my wardrobe and give them a new lease of life. I found my old sandals amongst all the rubbish, and remembered how much I used to love these babies. Regardless of them being a trend or not, my love for gladiator sandals is endless, and even though this season, it's all about more boho-vibes lace-up sandals, I love the slightly tougher aesthetic that these ones add to my outfit.

This dress; a newer addition to my wardrobe, is definitely one of the best items I've purchased this summer! Not only do I love the colour, the print, and the super soft feel, but it's also so easy to style and can be dressed down or up depending on the occasion. At a mere £14.99, I've really gotten a lot of bang for my buck with the number of times I've worn it! Happy days :)

RIPPED JEANS



Crop top/Kimono/Jeans: Topshop | Bag: Gifted | Heels: ALDO 
-------------------------------------------------

I love these lace-up heels so much; they have the ability to make any outfit look good! I had never really jumped on the ripped jeans bandwagon, but as result of desperately needing a pair for my "uniform" as a backstage dresser at Runway 2015, I bought these! I'm so happy I did because they just make any outfit look that little bit more edgy, and are super high-waisted too.

I'm also loving this kimono I picked up in the Topshop sale! I just can't get enough of the contrasting stripes and flowers print; so gorgeous, and so pretty paired with the salmon crop top!
