OOTD: Style Comfort Zone

Black and grey Outfit Image

Black and silver look so good together. Who would have thought? I love how minimal and chic they look styled together. This outfit has autumn style written all over it!

I collaborated with the lovely people at Boohoo to bring to you this black and silver outfit. If you remember my last collaboration with Boohoo, it was the Black Friday Outfit post I featured sometime last year, which I enjoyed styling because it was an all black outfit. This time, the idea behind this collaboration is to feature a secret piece styled in my own way. This secret piece is this Emmaline satin slip dress I have on right here.

Now to be honest, I won’t have picked this dress at all. I won’t even have considered it. So when it arrived in the post, I was a bit disappointed. But when it came to styling it, I find it so easy to style. I went for black accessories because I knew they would look good amazing paired next to the dress. And I went for a leather jacket and ankle boot because they add an edge to the look, and they also usher in Autumn. I am now looking forward to Autumn Fashion, can you tell?

I have now fallen in love with this satin slip dress. And I need to thank Boohoo for taking me out of my style comfort zone. I won’t have pictured it this good. I now need to experiment some more with my style.

5 Ways To Style Your Boots

Lunar Booties

The autumn/winter season is here again, and that means we got our coats, jumpers, scarves, snoods, sweaters and boots out ready to get our layering groove on. This is such a fun season for the fashionistas, as well as for the ‘ordinary people’ like us. I look forward to this season because I find the layering trend very stylish and comfortable. The colours of the season are some of my favourites as well, so I am loving the pieces and accessories in stores at the moment. It did take me a while to get a hang of it, but once I understood how it worked, I now enjoy dressing up during the cold months.

I love my Boots especially, I have been building my collection, and I have quite a few now; the one above, Suri Long Boot is a new addition from Lunar shoes. I love the suede look, and the small heel makes it very practical. You will be seeing more of this beauty in an outfit post, so keep your eyes peeled.

I find Boots very versatile, they make dresses and skirts wearable during the cold months, and they add a touch of glam to jeans or leggings. Here are 5 tips for you to remember when next you want to rock a pair of boots:

  • Wear short skirts or dresses with a stiletto thigh high boots, or flat heel boots with a mini. This looks are more covered, and remember your tights!

 

  • When rocking fuller skirts, make sure the hem of your skirt, falls just over the top of the boots. It looks more pulled together.

 

  • If you do not like to dress up too warm, pair your tall boots with lighter pieces – skirts and dresses. The boots would keep you warm, and you get some wear out of your lighter pieces during the cold season.

 

  • Pair your tall dark boots with the same colour for your jeans or leggings. So if you are wearing a black pair of boots, pair it with a black pair of jeans or leggings. This look makes your legs appear even longer.

 

  • Wear ankle booties with trousers for a more formal look. They slip under the pants quite easily, and appear more formal.

So those are my 5 tips for wearing boots this season. Do you have any tips to add? Drop me a comment, let’s chat.

Happy thanksgiving my American friends. Have a great weekend everyone.

Autumn Fashion 2015

Autumn Fashion is all about layers, layers and more layers. I am a lover of layering, so Autumn is another favourite season of mine (just like Summer is another), as far as fashion and style is concerned. I can’t stand the chill and the darkness that comes along with the season though. It is currently 2 degrees in Cheshire as I type and I hear it will be colder soon. Anyways back to Autumn Fashion, I have been doing some online window shopping, like I always, and I have spotted some stylish pieces and accessories on Gilmar Fashion Outlet, and other online stores, and I am in lust.

Here are some of my current favourites:

LIC.Iceberg Leather Boots

I love this flat leather boots. The colour and the heel are bang on trend. A beauty; this 100% leather boots will be an investment piece to have this season.

 

Leather Shoulder Bag N°21

I am currently lusting after this oval shoulder bag. The embossed logo is so pretty, the shape is compact, and a perfect size. It would be a great addition to my bag collection.

Iceberg Snoopy Polo Neck Jumper

snoopy-polo-neck-jumper_1_1

This cashmere polo neck beauty will add some colour to my Autumn wardrobe. I am loving the puppy logo on it.

Iceberg Giraffe Print Jumper

Autumn Fashion can’t be the same with jumpers. They are the perfect pieces to rock this Autumn, great for layering, and this giraffe piece is right up my street. It is so stylish and trendy, add some accessories, and this piece can take you from day-to-night easily.

Iceberg Reversible Jacket with Giraffe Print

This giraffe print is breathtaking, my daughter has a similar coat from Next, and this looks exactly like it, but in an adult size, I want this beauty so bad.

Iceberg Sweatshirt with Stripe Pattern

iceberg-sweatshirt-with-stripe-pattern_1

This sweatshirt is drop dead gorgeous. It is a silk and cotton blend, wide crew neck sweatshirt, with French curve style stripe pattern. I love the design. It would look amazing on a black or blue pair of jeans with booties. Great piece to style.

Iceberg Inland Crew Neck Jumper

This crew neck jumper, embroidered with sequins and stones, is perfection. I love the fact that I can dress it up with a skirt and down with a pair of jeans.
