OOTD: Smart yet Casual.

I wanted to do a look that was comfy enough for college but an outfit that still had that stylish and smart element and I thought this OOTD did it for me. The dark denim of the jean is a neutral colour that I have based this look on. The lettering on my dolman sleeved tee is also dark and finally the black blazer finishes off the look. Accessories include a gold watch adding colour to the look, my brown briefcase bag with a shoulder strap, a bandana matching the colour of my bag and my blue plimsolls. This has to be one of my fave outfits so far, it was super comfy and I enjoyed paring this look up.

Blazer: WALLIS, Linen black blazer
Top: CLICK KOREA, Dolman sleeved tee
Jeans: REBUBLIC, Dark blue jeans
Shoes: MISS SELFRIDGE, Blue plimsolls
Watch: CASIO, gold watch
Bag: TOPSHOP, Brown shoulder bag
Bandana: Cheap market stall (bargain - £2!!)

OMG... Shoes!

God only knows how long it has been since I wrote my last blog post but times have been hectic. In saying that I am back and I will try to write at least one post a week depending on how busy I am. 

Okay, shoe time!!

So I have a range of shoes that I have been seeing around London and especially in and around my college. some of these shoes, the styling is popular but others are fashionable in general.

DR.MARTINS have slowly taken over London as a new bold fashion statement and this trend is ever growing. The DR.MARTINS that you see above are vintage, from around late 1970's. They are my fathers and I thought rocking them out would look pretty awesome.

Next are my over the knee high boots that I bought from STYLISTPICK in the winter. They do absolute wonders to your feet and with a furry lining, they are uber warm. Over the knee high boots have been popular and during the cold months in London, many women were wearing this trend.

These wedges I haven't seen around so much but, I wanted to showcase them since I wanna do a OOTD with them so keep you eyes peeled!

So for my last shoe, these are almost a look between a shoe and a trainer. They blend both the mix of the 'high-top' and the dressiness of an ordinary shoe with the pointed front. I have these on another section of my blog. VANS have done pretty well with these and they go with pretty much everything! The match between a soft material and a mesh material is beautiful and the dark chocolate brown lases tie the whole shoe together.

Scarfs, Scarfs, SCARFS!

I thought I'd take a different approach to blogging and put up a video to show different ways to wear scarfs. I saw this on another webpage and loved the video instantly. I hope that the site I got it from doesn't mind. Lets just say im 'borrowing it' for a while :)

The webpage i got the video from:

The Bag Collection.

I was browsing through my blog and found that I had only done posts on clothing, so I decided to do a post on bags. These are just a few that I thought were the most interesting. Take a look:  

 The button bag, a long time favorite of mine since I've owned it since 2008/2009 (not sure). I suppose its pretty original, plus I thought if I ever collected badges i could stick them on this bag and it wouldn't look weird. It is from ACCESSORIZE.

 This or-fully kawaii (cute) number comes from a shop in Japan called ROOTOTE. I have to admit, all of their bags have an element of cute to them. They are also very original, so forget about anyone else with it.

 This brown beauty got purchased in TOPSHOP. I have an addiction with this shop. Literally, the minute I walked in I saw it. Its a very strong bag and its dark color goes with everything you can think of. Also comes with a long shoulder strap which is adjustable.

 I got this other light brown beauty online from a Chinese shop called FASHION LADY. I love this bag. It has a absolutely gorgeous feel to it, and it is big enough to hold quite a lot in it. However, heavy things such as books and so on will break the bag. Its kinda on the verge of ripping so I've refrained myself from using it for a while.

 I love the look of a bag after its gone through a bit. Especially the edges, the color goes gradually and the material begins to wrinkle. I believe it gives the bag a bit of authenticity, which makes the bag special. I got this in NEW LOOK for school. It is very practical and the color is neutral. It pretty much accompanies itself with every piece of clothing I have.

A Humid Autumn.

From the ending of September to the beginning of October weather in London has been that of how it has been in Miami. Now I'm not complaining, it's beautiful since we didn't get a summer, but now clothing is starting to depict that of summer fashion, and may I stress its autumn. Since that was the case I still decided to stick with my normal attire. Just because there was an element of changed weather doesn't mean I was going to change with it.

Bell bottom jeans is a type of jean I am not really in favor of, but in some cases it is a piece of clothing that does wonders. With this outfit, I didn't mind them as much. The dark blue bell bottoms, are pretty light in terms of weight. It is nice to wear them every once in a while. They are like my 'I can't be bothered' trousers, yet they still look alright. I thought they also matched up with the other dark colors I was wearing. The cardigan, my brown bag and my trainers. A cute striped top from PRIMARK gave my look a final burst of color.
