AUGUST INTENTIONS & NEW TOTE BAG

Happy August guys, hope you're having a fab Summer of far. I've been trying to blog a bit more lately but I don't know how long that will last when I start work again next week! We all know this year is flying by and I figured why not try and have a more purposeful month. Each day has been a blur for me lately so I thought it would be nice to set some intentions for the next 4 weeks, I would love to know yours too!

It's the middle of November so that means party time ladies, time to pop the Prosecco, dust off your high heels and join in the festive fun :) As much as I love lounging on my sofa, there's always a fun buzz getting dressed up for a night out and Christmas means we can get away with a bit more glitz and glamour! I'm sure you've got events and parties coming up the next 2 months and as well as coordinating our dairies, we have to figure out what to wear.

STYLING THE PRINT BOMBER JACKET FOR DAY & NIGHT

Are you guys ready for Autumn? I love Summer but I'm ready to say goodbye to floaty dresses and pastel hues and bring on the layers and jackets! One style I can't wait to rock again are bomber jackets, they just make you feel instantly hip and that little bit cooler, that's what I tell myself anyway :) When I saw the print bomber jackets from Debenhams, I was immediately drawn to the Red Tiger print bomber jacket* from the H! House of Holland collection for Debenhams (currently on sale!) I was picturing all these outfits in my head, so I wanted to share with you guys how I would style them for day and night - hope you enjoy this outfit post!

EASY SUMMER STYLE, WHITE LEATHER CONVERSE

I had one of those 'I don't know what to wear' moments at the weekend, whilst staring at my wardrobe which is pretty full, haha you know that feeling ladies! Anyway it's been pretty hot in London and sometimes I find dressing for warm weather more tricky than when it's colder. When I'm not working I like to be casual but still look put together. So I paired my all white Converse Jack Purcell trainers, black dress and bomber jacket, which ticks all the boxes for easy Summer style!

MAYFIELD LAVENDER FIELD & WHITE EMBROIDERED PLAYSUIT

I'm definitely a City girl but I do I enjoy hanging out with good old mother nature when I can. My sister Thuy was going to the Mayfield Lavender Field and ask if I wanted to go. It's one of those places we always wanted to visit but never got round to it, which is odd as it's only 10 minutes from our parents house. Plus it's a fab spot for bloggerz to get some pics ;) Thankfully my sis shares my love for taking a million and one photos! If you plan to have professional photos done here, you just need to let them know - engagement shoots etc :)

BOHO LUXE BRACELETS FROM CHLOBO

Hope you guys are having a fab July so far? It never really feels like Summer in the UK but to get you in that chilled out holiday mood, I've got a lovely hand made jewellery designer to share with you! Chlobo Jewellery are made in the UK but inspired by the island of Bali, having travelled there for our Honeymoon I wouldn't say no to some island inspired jewellery!

CROCHET CROP TOP & PASTEL BLUE TROUSERS

Oh hey sun, nice to see you again! Perfect timing as I've just picked up this super cute crochet crop top, when ASOS had 20% off at the weekend and it's in the sale for £16! Do you girls like sporting crop tops? I know they can look a bit 'showy' but I love how this one has the crochet design, which is delicate and flowy. If like me, you're a bit self conscious of showing too much on your top half, this top is lovely as it's not too clingy! It also doesn't need much ironing, perfect if you're a bit lazy ;)

AFFORDABLE DAINTY JEWELLERY FROM JEWELLERY BOX

The perfect piece of jewellery just finishes an item right girls? Over the last few months I've overhauled my chunky statement jewellery for more delicate and dainty pieces. I'm obsessed with a gold t bar necklace my sister got me and I knew I wanted to more subtle pieces to my collection. You may have seen several bloggers sharing their pieces from Jewellery Box and I was kindly offered the chance to share some of my picks with you guys!

MONOCHROME DRESS & PINK BLOOMS

Happy Easter everyone, hope you're having a lovely weekend so far. The clocks have gone forward and March is coming to an end, it's definitely been a fun and busy month. I met up with the lovely Lucy yesterday to film a cooking video for her channel - stay tuned for that! I've also been planning things to do and eat for our New York trip next month. Is it possible to eat brunch all day everyday whilst we’re out there?! (If you have any reccs let me know!) Business wise, I've book another couple to shoot their wedding in July, I'm so excited to get going! If you know any couples interested in a wedding videographer, feel free to pass on my details :) 

RIVIERA CHIC ON THE HIGH STREET

I've never been to the south of France, the closest I've come to St Tropez is a bottle of tanning lotion in my draw! Sunshine and yachts aside, I decided to channel my own chicness of the French Riviera with some classic navy and white pieces. The sun decided to make an appearance this weekend, hallelujah! A good excuse to hot foot it down to the docks in South London and catch me a sailor...  

PRETTY PRINT DRESS & LACE UPS

I'm so over this cold and rainy weather in the UK at the moment, can it be Spring already?! Typical when I decided to do an outfit shoot outdoors, it was windy and rainy haha. My brother John kindly took these snaps of me sheltered under a flower shop, styling this pretty print dress from Nine by Savannah Miller*. 

EXPLORING GREENWICH & WEEKEND OUTFIT

It's pretty cold here in London but I still like going out and making the most of my weekend. So with a bit of sunshine on Sunday, Hang and I strolled around Greenwich. I love how it's right by the river and has such a nice historic charm about it. Having lived in London for years, it's one of my favourite places to explore, eat out and visit the museums.

WINTER GREYS, THE COSY BOYFRIEND COAT

How's your week been guys? Hope you're enjoying the run up to Christmas! In typical UK fashion, it's been constantly grey and drizzly here. I've really been lusting after some Winter sun! Anyway grey skies aside, I was on the hunt for a new Winter coat, because everyone needs a new coat right :) So after browsing ASOS during black Friday, I picked up this cosy grey wool coat and it's the perfect over sized boyfriend fit that I've been after!

LAYERING UP FOR AUTUMN WITH DEBENHAMS

Like many of you guys I can't resist the warm orange and yellow tones of the trees this time of year, they make such a pretty backdrop for outfit photos as well :) My everyday style is casual and comfortable but I still like to look put together. I'm all about stylish basics and wanted to share 3 wardrobe staples from Debenhams, which are great to layer with this time of year.

STYLE SWAP WITH BOOHOO & A BLOGGER FROM PARIS

Being a personal stylist would be fun right? Add in one of my favourite online brands Boohoo, a Parisian blogger and you've got a very fun style swap! Boohoo contacted me to take part in an international fashion swap, where I would be swapping styles with a Parisian blogger. I would choose a boohoo outfit for them and they would choose one for me. Basically be each others personal stylist, I thought it was a great idea to see different fashion styles from another country.

WEDDING RING SHOPPING + CHERRY PRINT DRESS

On a sunny Saturday, I was feeling extra girly so I pulled out this cherry print dress I've had for a while from Boohoo and slicked on my fav red lippie (Revlon lip butter in Candy Apple.) I love how fun and flirty the print is and the black bow adds a modern touch.
