If you follow my Instagram you'll know that I've recently re-pinked my hair but because this is an older photo set it's more of a coral colour, and I think it looks great next to the bright blues and greens in this outfit!  These jeans (although a little short) really make me feel super mermaid-y so I thought I'd keep it simple and throw on a ton of jewellery for an understated but glitzy look - Ashish style on a budget!

I'm obsessed with everything tapestry at the moment, whether it's bags, dresses, or these shorts; I think it's a great way to add a subtle print and pop of colour, and is way more exciting than basic denim shorts!  I kept it simple with a grey crop top (new fave basic) and lacy kimono, then topped off with huge glasses and a hat, which seems to be a common denominator with many of my outfits lately - it just makes everything so much more chic, sorry not sorry!

COAT* // PERSUNMALL
DRESS* // SHE LIKES
WATCH* // SHADE STATION
CLUTCH // LULU GUINNESS
HEELS* // SHELLYS LONDON
RINGS // BOHEMIAN CO, MARKET, RINGS & TINGS, MARKET, JANA REINHARDT, KUKEE

So with this awkward british half summer, half winter weather I thought this was a great outfit for a date night or going for some drinks with the girls.  I love the subtle shimmer the dress has to it and the contrast with the heavily patterned coat, then I thought I'd add a splash of colour with a slick of Russian Red and my mums Lulu clutch.

It literally feels like ages since I posted an outfit with my usual wardrobe background so here I am once again - nothing fancy!  I thought I'd post this outfit as it's perfect timing for New Years and there is a possibility this dress might make the cut.  I love how it's shaped to look like a two piece and the cut of it is structured so really flattering in my opinion.  I've never actually seen a rose gold dress before so I was more than happy to welcome such a unique piece into my wardrobe!

CageCity Meets Photoshoot

All items shown in photos above are from CageCity

Spiked Coltrane boots // Jeffrey Campbell
Heels* // Shellys London

Last week I was lucky enough to get to spend a day with the lovely ladies at CageCity!  For all of you that may not know - CageCity stock a couple of my favourite brands including MinkPink, Evil Twin, StyleStalker and Finders Keepers, as well as supporting up-and-coming designers, so have a really unique range of clothing you won't find anywhere else!  I was a little overwhelmed at first as I picked out so many pieces I wanted to style but I whittled it down and I'm really happy with how the looks turned out.  I think my favourite outfit has got to be the last photo, such an awesome jacket (coming soon for SS14!) and the skirt fit me like a glove, although I adored the leggings in the second photo!
Big thanks to the CageCity team for giving me a great opportunity and I hope you guys like the outfits!  You can read the interview I answered over on the CageCity blog and let me know in the comments which outfit is your favourite!

Ooh look at me getting all autumnal and weather appropriate.  This jumper is going to be a huge part of my winter wardrobe as it's super warm and cosy and I can wear it with anything, even as a dress as it's so long!  This Marc B bag is also going to be permanently glued to my arm as it's the perfect size for everything I think I need to carry around with me, and it even comes with a shoulder strap for when it's all got too much and it feels like your arm is going to fall off.  Anyway I'm just typing out everything my brain is burbling out and probably isn't making much sense as I've been playing Animal Crossing all day and all I can think of is catching fish and how on earth I'm going to pay off my 200,000 house expansion loan..#animalcrossingproblems.  Anyway, if any of you guys have Animal Crossing feel free to tweet me your friend codes - mines already on my twitter!
