I love the idea of fashion being playful from time to time. Currently we are in the midst of #LFW (that is London Fashion Week to you & I) and we are seeing an array of quirkiness, to the downright chic outfits of this years September event. I was asked by the team at Ladbrokes to create a look for under £200 that I would wear to LFW and I wanted something that was current yet a classic trend that keeps coming back each year.

This Take It Easy tee from New Look was an impulse buy, one to bulk up an online order so I qualified for free delivery. Boy, am I glad I clicked add to basket with this one. It’s a casual piece, but a bit of a conversation starter because it’s a little different to the usual slogan t-shirts out there at the moment. I think what makes it one of my favourites is the red piping round the neck and sleeves. It’s kind of like the raglan tops that have that all-American feel to them. These photos were snapped by the gorgeous Sophie Cliff who I am so glad I’ve finally had the chance to meet!

If I could put in to words how much I love this outfit I’d be writing a sonnet or proclaiming my love in some linguistic prose that was completely off the wall. But, I’m just going to say that I am madly, deeply in love with this folksy print top, that’s reminiscent of the tops you find hanging from market stalls down windy, hilltop Greek streets. Paired with my brand new A-line, button down skirt and these sandals from Daniel Footwear, I practically live in these slip on sliders because they are so comfy & they also have really great support because they are moulded to the shape of foot. All of this together creates a real 70’s vibe too which I am loving! I have to stop myself from reaching for this outfit every time I open my wardrobe!

You know it, I know it. I’m a self-confessed stripe whore, a horizontal line addict. I just can’t get enough. If I see stripes, I need it. I don’t know what it is, or why? But it’s a pattern that just has me hanging off it’s every word. I love this dress, you will have before seen it moons ago when I styled it completely differently, here. I hope to god since then (in that small space of time) that my blog has grown wings and completely revamped itself, even if it’s just a bit.

When the sales arrive it is like all my Christmas’ come at once. I’m like a kid in a candy shop. You can almost guarantee that I will have Mango, Zara, New Look and the rest all lined up in tabs on my internet browser. I just can’t help myself at all. Not one little ounce. But, there was something that I was desperately needing in my life and that was (ahem another ahem) black shopper bag. One that could easily be swung over the shoulder, when funnily enough I would be shopping. I found the perfect shopper bag!
