How I style: Pastels

With the Summer season approaching in Dubai I thought I'd show you how I style pastels, for a variety of occasions. 

OUTFIT ONE

Top: Forever 21

Skirt: Topshop

Bow: Forever 21

Boots: DM's 

Pairing a casual loose tee, is the only way I will wear a body-con skirt-to avoid the year 9 body-con skirt syndrome. Keeping the outfit really casual I paired it with my Docs. I'd wear this outfit to a relaxed event, or somewhere I'd need to be comfortable. 

 OUTFIT TWO

Blazer: Mango

Top: Garage

Shorts: TK Maxx

Shoes: Steve Madden

 This outfit is perfect for a lunch date during summer. It's casual and cool while still seeming put together. I think I prefer the look without the blazer, keeping it all pretty neutral. The nude coloured wedges make your legs grow inches and look more tanned, perfect!

 OUTFIT THREE

Dress: Vintage

Wedges: Office 

I adore this dress, its so classically elegant and flattering. I love vintage clothes for the fact that they fit me so well. Its hard for me to find clothes that fit as well as vintage clothes do. Perhaps due to the fact the sizes were smaller back in the day. Keeping it classic I paired it with some simple black wedges. I then added my studded leather jacket changing the dynamic of the outfit. 

 Leather Jacket: Camden

                                                                     OUTFIT FOUR:

Top: Topshop

Jeans: Topshop

Boots: DM's

The jeans are so bright they can only really be paired with monochrome items. Another super casual outfit for the summertime. 

What do you think of pastels for this summer, are they a thing of the past or a summer must have?

OOTD: Wild at Heart

At the weekend I visited Al Ain Zoo, I was wearing denim shorts with the black top pictured and Docs. However I was told I needed to wrap a shawl around my waist while in the main part of the Zoo. I ended up really liking the way it looked, kind of similar to the MMMxH&M silk skirt-which I own. I'm glad I was wearing the Docs as they completed the look, for more ways I style them check out my first YouTube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFnAN84-9Jk

So I thought I'd do an outfit post on my unplanned zoo outfit! 

Top: Mango

Shawl: My Mums

Boots: DM's

OOTD: Ethereal grunge

I love the ethereal look of these pictures achieved by the dress. The Nightwalk inspired shoes make my legs grow inches thus adding to the fragile ghostly look. By adding the chains and harsh shoes it gives the look an 'edgy' vibe. 

Dress: Camden Market

Chains: Various

Shoes: London Boutique (Nightwalk inspired)

Glasses: Camden Market

What do you think of this outfit?

Jack Wills store opening at Mercarto!

In all honesty I have never been a massive fan of Jack Wills, as it simply isn't my style However for those of you who do like the preppy British style, the Mercarto store is lovely! It is very decadently British staying true to the Jack Wills image and it's a bigger store than the Dubai Mall branch. Not only do they stock all the current Jack Wills collections, they also carry the upcoming accessories. Such as headphones, perfume, make-up bags, water bottles and so much more. The opening was fabulously British of course! I loved the tea party themed nibbles! 

 Let me know what you think of the new store, if you stop by! 

Thanks for reading and thank you to Jack Wills for the very generous goodie bag!
