Spring Style Staples

 

Ok, the rumours are true: I've been listening to a lot of Taylor Swift lately. Maybe a bit too much, in fact. But I'm not ashamed! And you know what? I think my unadulterated love for Taylor is filtering through to my wardrobe a little bit. She has a classic vintage style that I adore; I especially love it in  her styled to perfection Begin Again video set in Paris!

I think that inspiration has had me reaching for my long neglected 1950s style dresses for the first time in a long while. It feels so good to wear them in the sunshine with a red lip!

 

An old favourite I've been pulling out a lot recently is this lovely Vero Moda dress. I just love this print so much! I've teamed it with an even older denim jacket and my beautiful L.K. Bennett Emma bag.

Boden asked me recently to choose a style staple from their summer collection and I went for these chunky block heels. I ummed and ahhhed for ages between navy and tan! They are comfy, cute and well made and I can see myself living in these this summer. That's definitely a style staple, right?

I finished the outfit off with this simple and beautiful Georgia Wisemen bracelet. It's the Delta bracelet in fern green from the Dark Star collection. Isn't it gorgeous?

Simple Sunday

It's been a crazy busy weekend with a big workout session, a surprise trip to the ballet (thanks to my step-sister!), a wedding reception (congrats, Vicki and Ed!) and a photoshoot. And, quite deservedly, a nice nap and a lot of pizza. I'm now in bed trying to get some work done but wanted to squeeze in a quick blog post before the week is over!

I'm feeling quiet tonight so just wanted to share with with you these photos taken by Hanna Kristina. I love this knits peplum and cute bow on the back. Perfect for simple Sunday style, right?

Isn't the handmade brooch lovely? It was part of my bridesmaids outfit when my best girl got married last year. I like to wear it when I'm especially missing her!

 

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend, too!

One Skirt, Five Ways: Jules B edition!

 

 

 Time for another One Skirt, Five Ways! This week I've gone for this Raoul multi check mini skirt from my new online discovery Jules B. I've been obsessed with kilts and checks lately. This cutie is on sale and is now £57 down from £198! 

Inadvertently - although, I suspect this was heavily influenced by the skirt itself - this is an ENTIRELY black, white and red One Skirt, Five Ways. Hope you like that colour combo, kids!

 

 

Sure, these Miista Batilda boots probably make more than their fair share of appearances on Wolf Whistle but, heck, I love them. I think the skull studs by John Greed make for a perfect pinch of goth!

Yeah, sorry. Gossip Girl might be over but I've still got that thing where I like to make outfits that I imagine Blair Waldorf would enjoy. But I'm not hurting anyone, ok? GAWD.

This wouldn't be a 1S5W without some kind of print explosion! I don't think these prints clash - I think they're awesome. Did you see me wearing stripes and polka dots together recently? I love doing this!

Also: I have this bag and it's so, so beautiful. Pictures soon, I promise!

I've wanted a pair of these boots for ages. Love this All Saints top! (Did you see my All Saints #TheBikerProject recent post?) I'd probably team this with a simple silver cuff, too.

This last outfit is exactly what I want to be wearing today. It's a beautiful sunny Saturday and I'm feeling good. I love this embellished tee. It makes me itch to do some DIY!

Now get out there and enjoy some sunshine!
