STYLED INTO FASHION

Monday 31 October 2016

Looking Back: October 2016

So, October was unseasonally mild and I made sure I took full advantage of it. Sporting some colourful and textured looks; from hot reds to pretty pinks and fierce navy. I decided to incorporate some new season hits like Velvet with some of my favourite timeless prints, like leopard print. Finally donning my Ted Baker and Zara cross body bags, I went from pretty chic to video vixen... just like that.

Check out the different looks below, for some seasonal inspiration.

So, do you remember this skirt from a recent post of mine, yep... I'm wearing it again, but this time I decided to sport it with a matching shirt and go full on leopard print.

I'm so in love with this print from the current Zara collection I not only got the pleated skirt and shirt, I also got the biker jacket. Leopard print has long been one of my favourite prints to wear and as you can see I'm not afraid to double up on it.

I decided to keep the look classy but chic and of course Autumn appropriate, so I wore my black over the knee boots, a floppy black felt hat and this cute little faux fur cross body bag, also from Zara. Damn, I love it... and can't wait to show you how I styled the jacket. Stay tuned!

Well, it is Autumn, but I had to squeeze this outfit on the blog before it got too cold for me to go bare legged. Hats off to my friend Kevin for taking these photos. I literally gave him a quick 15 minute lesson in how to take good photos and he was a pro in no time.

Anyway, back to the outfit, as I was saying, I decided to squeeze this outfit in on the post, before it got too cold to wear it. I absolutely love this pleated top from Missguided, when I saw it online I just knew I had to get it, but I wasn't sure whether to go for black or red... I think in the end I made the right decision. I decided to team it up with a simple red mini skirt, black ankle boots and this amazing bag, that I recently got from Ted Baker.

So as you may have noticed I haven't posted anything on the blog for about three weeks and unfortunately that's because I've been ill...yep, the germs on the public transport hit me again; 2 colds in 3 weeks. Guess I'm going to have to look after myself better and keep taking my vitamin C. But, that's not the only reason why I haven't posted in a while, I celebrated another birthday and made a decision to take a little bit of time of to just chill and reflect, and it was time well spent. But I'm back... with a couple outfit posts before the month ends.

This time round I decided to sport this rose coloured choker knit dress from Missguided. I finally sported my Ted Baker cross body bag, that was gifted to me for my birthday last year. I finished of the look with my new over the knee black suede boots from Public Desire... and there you have it, my first full Autum outfit.

Velvet is big on the fashion scene right now and I'm absolutely loving it. I decided one piece isn't enough and paired up my Boohoo playsuit with thigh high Public Desire boots, both in velvet. I decided to play on my hair colour; keeping the outfit navy and throwing in a feature piece of silver. Oh, I can't wait to feature another velvet outfit on my blog... I can't get enough of it.
