The Oversized Coat

This post is purely to communicate the importance for a good coat/jacket.

Over the past year this is something that has really helped me feel more stylish, by investing in key shapes and colour trends my outfits are instantly more striking.

Coat - Pretty Little Thing £20!

Dungarees - Primark

Shoes - Adidas Stan Smith

Bag - Select

Make up inspired by Charlotte Tilbury Valentines Look

Today I felt inspired to do my make up thanks to the Charlotte Tilbury 'The hot date look' that I stumbled upon on my morning scroll of Instagram.

I have heard a lot about the beauty brand from bloggers, however I am yet to purchase any of their products.

So today I simply attempted to re create the look using my current collection of make up.

I loved the luminosity of this look with the peachy pink lip and cheek - very girly and romantic! It was very simple and easy to achieve, the colours were easy to match with products I already own; sometimes just seeing a look inspires you to use make up that you have been neglecting and mix up your look!

Stan The Man - Adidas Stan Smith Trainers

I am loving my Adidas Stan Smith trainers at the moment, I am aware that they are not a groundbreaking trend and they are becoming more and more killed and basic. That is why it has taken me so long to get some, but I waited and waited and still wanted some, then I spotted the limited edition nude version and knew I had to have them!

Mongolian Dreams

Today in the south east of England we woke up to snow!

This meant that wrapping up warm was a must.

I love the trend of pastel colours in winter.

I have always struggled more with styling in the winter months, and this year I really understood the advantages of good coats/jackets. So investing in key colours and silhouettes has helped me a lot.

I have wanted a baby pink coat since I fell in love with one in Zara at the beginning of the season, when I was shopping in Primark with my friend a few weeks after I found this one for £25. I was very happy about this as it is SO similar and SO much cheaper! (I love it when that happens)

This mongolian ombre scarf is so beautiful, I got it from the boutique I work in The Dressing Room, and it's by a small brand design called Nooki.

As soon as I saw it, I just knew it would come home with me - its perfect!

Thanks for reading!

Sunday Sass

Whenever I don't know what to wear and nothings going right (you know those mornings where you try on everything you own and create a floordrobe of fashion only to declare you have no clothes!! Or maybe thats just me) my go to style is always black with a touch of Kate.

You can never go wrong dressing like Kate moss or Kendall Jenner.

Fresh Inspo

My style is constantly evolving. That is what I love about fashion, one day I can feel sporty the next I want to be a goth and the next I'm a sassy rainbow. My options are endless and choice is what makes styling so fun.

At the moment my style has taken a turn and I just can't get enough white in my wardrobe, I love mixing white with a palette of black and grey, at this time of year its all about layering.

Whats your fave trend/style inspo at the moment?

Leather & Tartan

Today's look was based around comfort. As women we need days where we can put on a stylish outfit but still feel comfortable! Skinny jeans are one of my daily garments that i swear by, but on my days off i love to mix it up and wear various alternatives. These are faux leather jogging bottoms from Topshop, they are so comfy and because they have a leather coating, they look dressy and stylish… perfect! I like to style them with my Nike trainers and a tartan long length shirt to add some colour and pattern.

I tried a new make up look going for a dark brown Lipstick and brown eyeliner.

Beauty Tip : I also went over my natural freckles with the brown eye pencil to make my skin appear more natural.

Stylish and comfortable? TICK
