It’s been so long since I actually published a style post, but I am hoping to get back into it. What better way of getting back into it than this little gem, shot in the beautiful Spencer House over London Fashion Week?
If you haven’t noticed (I am sure you have), stripes are going to be everywhere for spring/summer. It suits me fine as for me, they are always welcome. However, even though I like trends, I will only adopt what I like, twisting and tweaking to make them suit my personal style.
This is a super budget outfit that turned out to be quite fun, quirky and cute, which is just the kind of style I love!
This New Look cropped red wool jumper, currently on sale for £6 (a bargain!), comes in 7 colours and also looks amazing layered.
The sac, tie waist trousers, also from New Look, has a great fit for its shape and it seems to come quite large – this is a size 6, while I am usually a 10 for trousers. It costs a reasonable £19.99 and I feel it will be a staple on my spring wardrobe.
Boots are from H&M – another great bargain at £29.99, and the cute hearts from IPHORIA on the laces add extra cuteness to the ensemble and break up the rough edge of the boots.
And I was wearing my favourite clutches ever: Lulu Guiness lips, this time in black, which was the first one I got.
A couple of years ago I started building a solid handbag and shoe base. Since then, I haven’t wasted money on high volumes of cheaper shoes and bags.
I currently have 4 lips, in black, gold, red glitter and nude, to cover most outfits!
Finally, to top it off, you know I like making stuff, eh? I made this cute hair piece with a little gem encrusted whale keyring, also from New Look at £4.99 (now on sale for 2.99). I cut the keyring bit and added a little bow to the loop at the top of the happy whale’s head.
I then scrunched some net I had home, to channel a bit of SS18 Chanel, and all was duly hot glued onto half a fascinator hair comb. Suddenly my side ponytail is a load more fun just by sticking the hair piece to the base of it.
Makeup was simple: a long feline flick, a little bit of nude matte eyeshadow on the crease, and 3/4 lashes, a good measure of highlighter and a killer red – he almost electric Charlotte Tilbury Tell Laura on my lips!
You all know I love a monochrome with a splash of bright, so no wonder I like this outfit so much. I am very excited to have FINALLY posted a style piece – and that is comes ahead of the new season!
What are you looking forward to wearing when the weather is warmer?
And huge thank to Kat for shooting me pretty. Check her out on Insta!
Recently I became obsessed with these wide legged trousers. When I say recently, add around 6 months.
This particular pair is a fantastic cut for my body shape: high waisted, flowy and skimming the bum. It doesn’t pinch too much at the waist, just the right amount. Just flattering and perfect.
Here, I paired them up with a netted (super) crop tee from Topshop, which add a bit of informality to the attire.
These silver block heels are amazing. Also very versatile, a manageable heel height for every day and super comfortable leather from Kurt Geiger.
Statement sunglasses were in order for this hot day in London – and Le Specs does it effortlessly, for a pocket friendly price.
I wore a basic day makeup (escaped from the office to do the shoot), red lips, plenty of rings and my Mulberry Lily bag.
She was also very speedy, making the lunch break shoot a fun and smooth reality!
This magnificently full voile skirt, bought from Amazon, was Primed over in 24h for a ridiculous £8.95.
Imagine finding everything you need to buy in one place – think shops, designers, fashion, home… From high street to high end.
You can then filter by price, store and choose to see sale items only!
Oh, this year I went a bit crazy on the style front. I bought a few dream bags and shoes and also tried a few different things.
Stepping out of the black Louboutin world, I went for nude and won’t look back! The Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100 in nude patent is a wardrobe staple.
I always wanted some exotic leather shoes and when I saw the Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies Mika Python, I just knew it had to be them; I’ve always had a think for snake skin… Although rather out there, they are quite neutral in a muted gold. Love.
Flats are a bit of a downer for me, usually more a necessity rather than taste, but these super quirky Office Retreat boy-ish brogues are just too cool for school in silver leather, cow’s hair and pointy toes.
After much deliberation, I decided to invest in a Chanel handbag. I went for the classic shape, in a smaller size, with some seasonal quirks. Could not be happier with my choice!
The first time I saw a Lulu Guinness Lips clutch I knew I had to have it. And I chose the black one, which is the perfect clutch.

Quirky. I learnt to 
The House of CB cut out pencil dress, ideal for clubbing or sophisticated night out. Sexy, but not slutty. At least for me.
For a red carpet vibe, the House of CB plunge evening dress. Plunging neckline, thigh high slit, tons of glamour. O be worn carefully. I was skilfully taped and nipple daisy-ed on this one.
For a family party, this

Of course, my Sunday London Fashion Week outfit. Comfy and quirky, it had it all.
Another tough choice… I love this pinafore dress and bunny shirt, just too cute, and still dressy. Worn with courts in the office.
This Matalan suit is great too. A suit, but not too serious and stiff.
Why? In Brazil we have this tradition of wearing white, which symbolises peace, to welcome the new year.
