25 boots for fall

Whether flat, heeled, suede, furry, ankle or knee-high, the boot is a wardrobe staple for any season, but with autumn's crisp mornings and noticeably-milder temperature, it's time to pack away the sandals and opt for something a little bit warmer.

Nail that cold-weather style this fall with some cosy-but-super-chic boots...

Here's what I'm wishing for this fall...

Leopard Scarf - ASOS
Jumper - Topshop
Lipstick - YSL
Nail Polish - Nails Inc
Bag - Zara
Khaki Ankle Boots - River Island

Cushion - H&M
Top - H&M
High Waist Jeans - ASOS
Photo Frame - Paperchase
Tom Ford Black Orchid - John Lewis 
Slippers - Next

Hello September

So my wish was answered (kinda) and we've finally had some decent weather in August.

I've been soaking up the sun in the back garden and am pleased to report that my previous paleness has been replaced by a healthy summer glow :-)

In between sun sessions and work, the last few weeks have been spent catching up with friends, visiting family and making the most of being home before I head back to uni at the end of September.

I'm sure this summer break has been competing in the Olympics because at the speed it's flown by it definitely deserves a gold medal :-/

How was your August? Anything good planned for the month ahead?

Spring wardrobe detox

 

It’s that time of year when the days get lighter, the temperature warmer and floral/nude shades make an appearance on the high-street once again.

Now is the perfect time to declutter, spring clean and start the new season fresh – and where better place to start than with your wardrobe?

Here’s some tips on what to do with those winter woolly jumpers and thick tights, and a few fresh spring styles to replace them with.

1. Declutter

-First up you need to make space. Set aside a few hours to go through your wardrobe and remove any clothes which won't be required in warmer weather, e.g: thick jumpers, big coats, thermals, etc, etc...

2. Storage vs donate

-Now the tricky part: to keep or not to keep? Is the item an investment piece/timeless classic/still wearable next winter? If the answer is no then get rid! The aim is to declutter so anything that no longer serves you should be donated to charity or gifted to a lucky friend.

                            

3. Replace

-Let the fun begin! Hopefully you've cleared plenty of space in your closet so now you can rediscover last season's stored favourites and of course... hit the high-street for a few new things to reward your hard work.

Villoid

My latest obsession/way to waste time comes in the form of Alexa Chung's fabulous new style app Villoid.

As a lover of fashion I'm constantly using sites such as Instagram and Pinterest to search for style inspiration and seek the latest looks and trends. 

Villoid happens to be the perfect combination of the two and allows you to follow your favourite fashion brands, create style boards featuring the latest products and inspirational images and then share them with other users.

Not only does the app promise to be "your very own endless dressing up box" it also features a 'buy' button so you can shop directly from the app which includes hundreds of brands from ASOS and H&M to Acne and Hervé Léger.

The app is free to download from the iTunes App Store. Here's some of the boards I've created so far...

Pretty pastels

What do you think to my boards? Have you been using Villoid?
