The ASOS Dogtooth Jacket

by Leave a Comment

Dogtooth it up, baby!

If you’ve been following my blog for some time it’s no secret that I’m a lover of a jacket or a coat. With the colder weather now descending on us, it’s time to up your game with the perfect jacket.

Going through all my favourite websites and shops I was struggling to find a jacket or even a coat to transition into the colder weather. My camel coat was slowly getting smaller for me as I’ve been carrying on with my gym routine, which looks as if it’s working. So I needed a jacket to keep me warm but also keep me looking on trend.

Then just like that, I was searching the “New in” section on ASOS and this dogtooth padded jacket jumped straight out at me. Padded coats have never really been my kind of fashion. But this cost just screamed “buy me”

Get out of that comfort zone!

Puffa jackets are something I never thought I suited. So even I went out of my comfort zone with this outfit and boy did it pay off. I fell in love with the jacket when I instantly put it on. Teaming this jacket with a plain chunky roll neck which is also from ASOS was the perfect combination for this outfit. The jacket has a strong print so I wanted something underneath that was super plain to contrast the dogtooth. Along with my high waist trouser and creeper style shoes, I felt like this outfit was Parisian inspired. The beret topped the outfit out to make it truly Parisian inspired.

I went out of my comfort zone with something I had never tried before and I fell in love with it! I’ve seen a few more padded coats over at ASOS and on River Island too. Now that I’ve worn something I never thought would suit me there is no stopping me wearing something very similar.

Dressing In Autumnal Tones

“Autumn Tones”

Autumn is the perfect month for dressing a little more smarter. Now it’s getting colder outside the layers are coming out. The bolder and more autumn tones are finding the way out of the wardrobe and also hitting the shops.

Every shop on the high street now has an abundance of camel, burgundy, mustard and rust. Every season you can bet your bottom dollar these colours always make a return for Autumn. You only have to look outside your window right now to see how beautiful these colours are. Autumn always brings these wonderful colours to life. Bringing these colours into your wardrobe can turn any outfit into the perfect Autumn tone.

I love all of these colours very much. So much so, I love dressing head to toe in the same colour but in different tones. Dressing in different tones gives an outfit dimension and a point of interest. My favourite colour to do this with is the camel. There are so many different tones of the camel colour which makes it easier to “tonal dress”

Looking through my wardrobe I had a lot of camel items but these sat perfectly together. A collarless coat from ASOS, which is very nearly too small for me now. Due to getting those gains at the gym. Which is such a shame because I adore the coat so much. An ASOS zip up roll neck in a very light camel. And a camel smart trouser, also from ASOS to finish the outfit off. I teamed my Boohoo trainer to try and get that element of smart casual into the look. I really love wearing smart outfits but putting the element of casual into them.

This outfit has to be one of my favourite outfits for Autumn. I love that I blend so very well in with the background but also make such a statement. What’s your favourite Autumn outfit? Does it feature Tonal dressing?

Boxrbox Luxurious Underwear Collaboration

“Underwear should be like a second skin”

When it comes to underwear style and how comfortable they are is a major thing for me. Feeling comfortable in them can bring out so much confidence within yourself.

I recently came across a brand of underwear that has completely changed the way I look at my undergarments. BOXRBOX is a men’s luxurious underwear company founded by Christoper Barlow and his wife Georgia. The both of them are very passionate about supporting the British textile industry and the British economy. All of the materials sourced and made into the garments are sourced in the UK.

BOXRBOX offers 3 different product styles.

1) BOXR Brief

2) BOXR Trunk

3) BOXR Short (in development)

The essential BOXRR briefs and trunks are handmade in the UK from a blend of soft, durable micro modal with a hint of elastane for added stretch and fit. Both designs feature a no-fly design, soft lined pouch and a stylish. Ultra soft waistband with embossed BOXR logo.

Unlike cotton, the micro modal textile fibre is shrink resistant and more resistant to fading. Obtained from Beech trees, the high-end, breathable fibre notably absorbs up to 50% more moisture than cotton. The fitted briefs and trunks are designed to sit low on the waist, offering incredible comfort for everyday wear.

The Review

When I received my delivery for my underwear I was so excited it came in a very well packaged boxed with the BOXRBOX logo all over it. Once I had opened the box a little card lay on top of the underwear which showcased a little of the information about the product. I thought this was a great touch as it made me realise just how passionate the owners of the company are, also knowing how the products are made is some extra information that’s always good to know. Trying on the underwear and parading around my bedroom was the highlight of getting this underwear. After a few stretches and squats to test them out I came to the conclusion they are the most comfortable underwear I’ve ever owned. I don’t normally wear briefs but these are next level comfortable. As a Visual Merchandiser, I’m always on my feet, always moving and in very warm conditions within windows. The BOXRBOX underwear stood up to the test to keeping me comfortable throughout my long days at work. Completely converted and I shall most definitely be investing in some more pieces.

Airport Outfits With Boohoo Man

Fly away in Boohoo style

With my holiday ever getting closer (53 days and counting) it’s time I started looking for holiday outfits. Boohoo website at the ready.

This can be a very stressful time of the holiday, wondering what you’re going to wear, more to the point what you will wear to the airport. I always stress about this as I don’t know if the British weather will be good and just how hot it will be abroad. Boohoo have put together a page on their website consisting of some great outfit choices to fly away in style.

 

On the page is this gorgeous outfit that I was gifted to do this post. Scrolling through the different items of clothing I found this jumped straight out at me. Anybody who knows me, I’m a sucker for a co-ord. My collection is ever growing, so when I saw this I knew I had to get it. The colour, first of all, struck me,

 

 

 

 

 

I love pastel colours, so that won me over straight away. The sporty vibe it has along the neckline and throughout also won me over. Let’s just say it was a win-win situation when I found it. I feel so comfortable in this outfit and it being a towelling/velour material it will be perfect for the airport lounging you do while you’re waiting around. Teaming it up with my hightop converse style trainers is the ultimate laid back style ready for take off.

In addition to this outfit, I styled it with the oversized Boohoo Man hoody in white, which is also on the page with the co-ord. This extra layer is perfect to coming home to the very British weather. More so if you’re early flying back or flying back in the evening, the British weather is unpredictable in those times.

Now that I have mastered the Aiport outfit now is the time to look out for some amazing holiday steals!

Valentines Date-Night OOTD

by 3 Comments

Valentines is ever looming upon us. As much as I love Valentines, I’ve always thought it to be a little bit of a waste of time when it comes to holidays. But nonetheless, I would always go out of my way for that special someone in my life. Last year was the first year I was single for a long time and I was very bitter towards the whole Valentines charade. I even went a step further and purchased clothes that had anti-valentines quotes on them .. which you can see here along with the video….  Anti-Valentine Post

However, this year is different as I’m no longer single. Which puts a big smile on my face. Tom has always made me happy, regardless of what happened between us over a year ago. It’s like nothing ever happened now. I feel like he’s not only my boyfriend but he’s my best friend, he’s someone that knows me inside and out. He knows when something is wrong and how to make me feel better. I’ve never felt so much love for one person in my life, when we’re tog

ether it’s a mixture of cuddles, kisses, sassy remarks and tickle fights. Look at me going on, getting all soppy *clears throat* Anyway…We’re having a date night on Valentines and going out for a meal for it, something we haven’t done in the nearly 3 years we’ve been together. So obviously Luke style, I needed an outfit, something that was smart casual. While browsing Boohoo like I do every day I noticed that they had a love heart print shirt. Something that I wanted way back when Harry Styles wore one. It was the perfect colour, I instantly fell in love with it. I love that it’s fallen right in time with Valentine’s so I can wear it on our little date night. I’ve teamed it up with black ripped skinny jeans and Chelsea boots. On the night I most likely will wear my leather jacket over the top or my leather Borg jacket that I love so much. I had to showcase this shirt in a Valentines themed photoshoot, as it was the perfect way of showcasing it. I’m loving the way the photos have come out and I got to play with my newest toy which has really helped me towards getting my photos looking so crisp. A remote control that’s connected to my camera so I can just press a button and get posing in front of the camera. This means the camera is then focusing on me rather than everything else. I’m excited to do more photoshoots with my little gadget!

At the moment you can grab this shirt for £12!

OOTD – Autumn Teddy

by Leave a Comment

With saving to move out in full swing I’ve currently cut down on my clothes spending a lot. However, it hasn’t stopped completely, when I see something that I think I shall get a lot of wear out of I just can’t help myself. I’ve spoken a little about the new trend which features a lot of Borg. Borg used to be a lining in a jacket or boots, however, it’s now this season’s big staple piece. My Boohoo Man hoody is my most favourite thing of Autumn so far. It’s cosy and comfortable, it actually makes me feel like a bear which I guess isn’t a bad thing. Teamed up with my perfect skinny jeans also from Boohoo Man gives a stylish and laid back outfit. The skinny jeans are the most perfect skinny jeans I’ve ever owned. Just the right amount of stretch of skinny to go on any adventure, which is what I’m always doing. Finding new places to shoot videos and take photographs. Like in this photoshoot, I took a trip to Ironbridge which is about 5 minutes if that down the road from where I live. It’s a beautiful picturesque town, with quaint shops and lots of tea rooms. However, I had not taken a trip through the woodlands and lanes before, so I decided to give it a go to see where it took me. It leads me to these old train tracks which used to take coal to the power station, which has recently been shut down. I thought it was the perfect place to do a little video of my OOTD.  To top the look off is my trusty Autumn boots from ASOS. My suede Chelsea boot. Which gives the outfit a smart casual look I was going for. Autumn is in full swing, but in true British style, it’s always changing. One minute it can be 20 degrees and the next time it struggles to get into double figures. So for the moment I’m keeping my winter warmers close at hand but also some lighter layers in case of those rare days where it is just like being back in summer. Linked below are the products or similar to what I’m wearing

OOTD – Sport Luxe

by Leave a Comment

Say Hello to the brown haired Luke!
With trends at the moment weaving in and out of the 90’s, I styled myself in something that resembles that of the 90’s. Sporty Luxe. A trend where you mix sporty items with clothing that looks high end, giving you the sporty luxe trend. Teaming a sporty looking jumper with a ribbed roll neck underneath gives you that extra layer for those colder days. Adding a pair of wool joggers to give you that laid back relaxed athletic vibe. While adding a pair of white socks and white trainers to finish off the sporty look.

This has to be one of my favourite looks right now, adding my light grey duster jacket over the top of the outfit makes it look very on trend at the moment. I love how easy yet stylish the outfit is.
All items are now in the sale so go find a bargain!

 

Halloween

I’ve always been a big fan of Halloween. There’s nothing more I love to do than dress up and showcase my creativity. Year after year I’ve done many photoshoots with my siblings dressing them up in various costumes and taking them to various locations. But the last 2 years running I’ve to showcase my creativity by combining my love of Halloween and my love of fashion to create a fashion forward Halloween costumes. Last year I took it upon myself to make a Maleficent costume and do my own little photo shoot and video for my YouTube. It was the hardest photoshoot I’ve ever done as I was on my own. Trying to set the camera up for self-timer and not having a remote to set my camera off was so hard. I have many shots of me running away from the camera looking back with a weird look on my face. But after many attempts, I finally got the photograph which made my Maleficent shoot. To the left is my Maleficent favourite photograph and here is the link to my YouTube video featuring this look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCkXY27dwbA

This year I decided to go a little more subtle with the photography and just do something along the lines of Gothic Chic. The Wide Brim Fedora is a staple piece in my wardrobe. I always with every outfit check to see if it goes. 9 times out of 10 it does but I always feel I’d over do an outfit if I wear it. I purchased Superdrug’s Spray Hair Chalk in the colour of silver for my hair. It didn’t work the best and it flakes a lot so that didn’t work too well. My bat bow tie was purchased from ASOS and I added the two bits of ribbon coming from it. My blazer is thrifted from a charity shop, which you’ve most likely seen in my other outfit showcases and the shirt was also from ASOS. See, I can’t even put a Halloween look together without using ASOS. This look also features a carved pumpkin by my fabulous mother. Here is the photograph of my Gothic Chic look….
