Collaboration - sand dunes

This is the second half of the beach photoshoot,

with some more dramatic outfits.

This elegant ensemble comprises of this

gorgeous pair of olive palazzo pants,

and the simple black bow top.

Lastly is this vibrant collection of purple pieces

with clashing textures.

The bold, chunky knit cardigan is balanced

by the sleek silk skirt.

And slicked back hair and a big beaded necklace

are the only accessories required.

Outfits:

Black and white bow top, palazzo pants,

leopard print shoes, chunky cardie, silk skirt (all Her Citi).

Accessories:

Floral and black beaded necklaces.

Collaboration on the beach

Here is the second instalment of my winter collaboration with Her Citi,

this time, on one of the nearby beaches.

I really like the cut of this bright blue tweed jacket

- the 60s shape worked well with the baker boy hat.

This cable knit dress was just what was needed

for such a cold day on the beach.

The gold leather belt complements

the soft oatmeal colour of the dress.

Outfit:

Blue jacket, cable knit dress (both Her Citi), jeggings, boots.

Accessories:

Black hat, gold belt (Her Citi), blue scarf.

Frozen tree

A cold spell of weather reccently

gave the perfect opportunity for a photoshoot.

An icy dead tree surrounded by frozen water

makes a striking wintry backdrop.



I chose a simple black and white outfit

with a slick silhouette to reflect the scenery.

This high waisted dogtooth-check skirt looks fabulous

when worn with this collar-style

 pearl necklace and scraped back hair.

The strong blue ice adds a crispness to the images.

Outfit:

Black and white dogtooth-check skirt, black cardie,

black T shirt, black tights.

Accessories:

Star brooch, pearl collar necklace.

Collaboration in the street

Here are a selection of coats and jackets from Her Citi,

styled by me.

The first one is this long vintage Danimac.

A slicked back ponytail adds to the slick city look.

Next is this grey blazer,

its sharp shoulders and simple shape

ofset by bold jewellery (also from Her Citi).

Lastly is this elegant Wallis coat.

The wonderful length and shape make it a classic piece

to wear every year.

Fair isle favourite

The perfect thing to wear on colder days

is a thick knitted cardie.

My favourite has to be this fair isle one.

The mustard shade is a wonderfully autumnal colour.

Teamed with a deep purple scarf and jeans

it makes a great weekend outfit.

Outfit:

Mustard Fair isle cardie, striped T-shirt, jeans, spotty wellies.

Accessories:

Purple scarf, red belt.

A gorgeous jacket

With the seasons slowly changing,

it seemed time to start wearing something a little warmer.

This beautifully tailored brown cord jacket

from Toast was just the thing.



The velvet collar and box flap at the back

are just some of the wonderful details.

I love to wear it with this floral charity shopped Jack Wills top.

A lovely way to smarten up a casual weekend outfit.

Outfit:

Toast jacket, Jack Wills navy floral top, jeans, tan loafers.

Rust is in

Here is an outfit from the very beginning of autumn.

And what is more autumnal than rust,

a colour which has seen a welcome return in fashion this season.

Above is an outfit I reccently wore,

which revolves entirely around my favourite

knitted, cropped, brown and orange tank top. 

Paler shades of orange and brown ofset the garish yet trendy 70s colours

for an ensemble that slides easily into autumn.

Outfit:

Vintage tank top, striped cardie, brown top,

straight leg jeans, tan loafers.

Accessories:

Rust scarf, purple scarf, orange beads.
