The weather in London has been a little hit and miss of late, but the hits have definitely been great. With the sun out in full display; everyone has been out siezing the opportunity to soak up the rays and get a little vVitamin D. Hey, why not?
I definitely wanted to take full advantage of the good weather and chose the perfect Summer ensemble for Rima. The beautiful flow and layers of her crop top from Pretty Little Thing, teamed with her multi-coloured airy culottes from ASOS, made the a stylish and feminine option for a warm Summers day. I finished off the look with a orange/coral cloth bag from Faith and a bold red lip.

Well you can probably tell from my blog and Instagram feed that I love monochrome. It looks great on every skin tone and with every hair colour. It's a timeless classic. It makes cheap look cheap and boring look cool. Not satisfied with dressing myself in the hit, I decided to dress someone else in it; Stella.
How gorgeous does Stella look in this off shoulder monochrome dress from Zara? Not something she'd typically wear, I decided that it was time she flaunted her curves in something bold but classy. I teamed the monochrome dress with a red clutch bag from ASOS, a mesh chocker from Pretty Little Thing and white heels (already owned by Stella).

There is nothing I love more than taking people out of their comfort zone; dressing them in something that they wouldn't ordinarily wear and changing their perspective and opinions on certain trends and styles. It doesn't matter your shape or size, a trend can always work for you; you've just got to put your stamp on it and rock it with confidence.
That is exactly what I was trying to achieve with Rima, when I styled her in this amazing Lavish Alice navy asymmetric skirt and Pretty Little Thing off shoulder body suit. I wanted to flaunt her curves, show off her amazing figure without being to revealing. Show her that she can look and feel sexy, whilst remaining modest and elegant.
I decided to go with a navy blue tone, which worked well against her complexion. I opted for gold accessories to bring the look together, she donned her comfy but classy gold heeled sandals and added a diva-ish finishing touch, with cat-eyed sunglasses. Perfection.

Believe it or not, I'm not always in front of the camera posing in my latest purchase. Occasionally you can catch me on the other side of the lens, taking photos of people I've recently styled. Yes, that's right... I have other talents (if I can call it that) that not many people are aware of.
Last week I styled Stella, 27, from London. She didn't have anything particular in mind, but she was willing to try something different to what she'd usually go for, something out of her comfort zone. Usually dressed in black and occasionally navy, I decided to dress her in something bold, but something that would look great against her complexion and complement her stature. So I decided on pop red and went for a Spanish-like theme.
I teamed red layered floaty trousers from Zara, with an off the shoulder bodysuit from Pretty Little Thing. Monochrome and Red ankle strap heeled sandals from New Look made the perfect matching for both her clothes and make-up. I finished off the look with an amazing gold bag from ASOS, a gold choker from Pretty Little Thing and a matching belt also from Pretty Little Thing. White manicure and pedicure, with the addition of bold red lipstick, added the perfect finishing touches. The right amount of style and sass look for her aunts party.

So today I was on the other side of the camera, taking photos of the beautiful Nikki. With her look we went for a chic ensemble, teaming much loved lace (pencil skirt) with an on trend off the shoulder top. However, I decided to spice things up a little; instead of going for white or black (traditional colours when wearing lace), I decided to go for a Summer favourite... Orange. The cute ribbed off the shoulder top was a steal from the Missguided sale, and if I remember correctly cost less than £5 (sold out, but similar here)! The skirt was also on sale from ASOS (available here). We finished off the look with minimal gold jewellery, simple white heels and a gold cross body bag (both, stylist's own).

For her final look, I decided to give Nikki a 70s twist; floppy felt hat (one of my favourite accessories of all time!!!), knee high boots and flowing layers. I kept the palette mute with monochrome and finished off the look with gold costume jewellery.

For her third outfit I decided to give Nikki a smart look. I hate the boring tones of grey and black that flood the office floor, so I decided to brighten things up a little with the tailored blazer jacket from Forever 21. I gave the outfit a bit of glamour with these sexy killer high heels, also from Forever 21, finishing off the look with gold costume jewellery and a structured black handbag. Nikki certainly looks the business.
