YELLOW

Dress: Zara | Bag: Pimkie | Necklace: Links of London | Shoes: Independent shop in Spain

-----------------------------------------

I barely ever wear yellow, although it's fast becoming one of my favourite colours! I got this amazing canary yellow lace dress in the Zara sale, for such a bargain! I've said it a hundred times on here, but as far as sales go, Zara never fails to deliver the goods! I'm so happy I bought it, because not only is it super Summery, but it's also so easy to dress up or down! One of my favourite colour combos is yellow and silver, so I teamed the dress up with my metallic trainers, for a more casual look.

NIKE AIR TRAINER 1 // SUBDUED ISLAND COLLECTION

Jumper: Weekday | Jeans: Topshop | Coat: M&S | Trainers: Nike via Offspring 

--------------------------------------------------

Am I the only one who receives those relentless what-feels-like-daily e-mails from brands about their current offers or new in products? 99% of the time, my bank account dictates that I delete those e-mails without so much as a peep, but every so often, I can't resist a cheeky look.

This happened nearly a year ago with one of Footlocker's emails, advertising Nike's new range of Air Premiums from their "Subdued Island" collection; inspired by island landscapes, which apparently meant the coolest shades ever! As soon as I saw the 'Light Redwood' ones, they were mine! (emotionally) 

At a painful £105, I couldn't justify the purchase, but I waited out loyally, and found them again several months later, reduced to just £45. By the way, they're now at £35, people! Anyway, I was really excited about these because I was anticipating some cool new outfits. They're the perfect pop of colour - not too bright, though - while also adding a chilled/street/androgynous vibe to any look. Oh and they're also SO comfy. I'm really starting to appreciate comfort in my old age...

PRIMARK KINDA FESTIVE JUMPER

Jumper: Primark | Jeans: Topshop | Coat: Primark | Shoes: Reebok via Size? 

----------------------------------------------

I actually saw this jumper featured in an editorial spread in some magazine a couple of months back, and expected it, as usual, to be some designer piece way out of my budget. So I was really pleasantly surprised to see it was from Primark, and priced at only £18! I kept it pretty minimal for a chilly walk along the river, pairing it with my ripped jeans, super longline coat (also from Primark), and my little pink Reebok clouds - seriously, so comfortable,

DIY FRAYED MOM JEANS

Jumper & Gilet: Pimkie | Jeans: Levis via Motel Vintage | Shoes: Reebok via Size? 

------------------------------------------------------

I'm aware that I've featured all of these items in my blog very recently, but let's face it: this gal repeats outfits constantly! If I love something, I tend to just live in it - no shame! The main purpose of this post is to show how I cut the bottom cuffs of my jeans off; literally the best thing I've ever done! I did like my Levis before, but I always thought the cuffs looked a bit too neat and even awkward at times. So I went a bit scissor crazy and chopped them off, and then started tugging on the ends like a madwoman until I was happy with the fraying. I love the length of them now, and the uneven fraying is a subtle way to take any outfit to the next level and help it all look effortless yet stylish.

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!

SILVER & SIMPLE AESTHETICS

If you're trying to create a stylish outfit without much thought or effort, or if you're really not about crazy and colourful prints, the best way to achieve that is really by focusing on smaller details. I don't know what it is about duster jackets, but they have the ability to make any boring old outfit look good. A taupe-grey colour like this one is never going to go out of fashion, and not only looks super chic, but also allows you to play with more masculine looks.

I'm a big believer in letting your shoes do the talking. You can have a super simple and understated outfit, but then team it up with a pair of cool shoes - they don't necessarily have to be loud and crazy, just something a little different - and an outfit can be completely transformed. In this case, I think the silver trainers, the rips in the jeans, both teamed up with the duster coat, is what makes this look. Other than that, the colour palette is simple and so is the general aesthetic. There's really not much to it :)

STEFAN JANOSKI - GOODBYE?

I've been obsessed with the 'Stefan Janoski' Nike trainers, pretty much since they first surfaced around four years ago! The first time I ever posted a photo of them on my tumblr was all the way back in 2011...

...and I still don't have a pair! What is my life!?

I wish I could say that I'm totally over them after all this time, but I'm not gonna lie; I'm still secretly on the hunt...

I'm aware that this is starting to sound like some whiny just-been-broken-up-with heartbroken rant, but it saddens me that I've just never managed to find the right size, colour, model etc etc. 

Let's take a minute to appreciate!

They're just so prettyyyyyyy! *sigh* 

Right. I'm off to recuperate my dignity...
