STYLE OF A LONDON TALL GIRL

Beachwear in Marrakech

2018-04-30T21:36:00.000+01:00

Black bikini top, Black briefs, Multicoloured bikini top, Multicoloured briefs, Kaftan: All Figleaves
Wooden bag: Cult Gaia, Hat: Asos, Black cover up: Asos, White shirt: Monsoon (old), Black shirt: Next, Strappy sandals: Asos, Straw bag: Boden

There is nothing better than heading on a holiday in early Spring! I recently went to Marrakech with my sister for a week and had the most relaxing time... much needed after the rainy weather in London. Whenever I know I'm heading abroad, the dreaded question of swimwear pops up in my mind. Of course as every girl, I always want a new bikini or swimsuit but having larger boobs and a small back 32G means that finding comfy swimwear is a task in its own. For my holiday to marrakech I collaborated with Figleaves and chose a few styles of swimwear and kaftans. As women we always have our favourite bikinis that travel with us on every holiday and ends up being the go to twinset that you live in. However when my Figleaves pieces arrived and I tried them on, EVERY single item fit perfectly. I was literally in shock. The bikini tops fit by bra size and are super supportive and stable. I went for this black eyelet underwired style with matching briefs, the Aruba twist front top with high waisted briefs and being an addict to bright colours of course I also chose this colourful Festival Crop top alongside the matching high waisted briefs. To cover up I fell in love with this Maryan Melhorn Fiesta kaftan, 100% silk, literally felt so smooth against my skin, and was the perfect piece to lounge in after my Moroccan massage.

Although I went for a weeks break, the weather was not the best at only 20C compared to 30C the week before we arrived. Despite this I had the best time ever! We visited the YSL museum and Majorelle Gardens which if you are intending to go to Marrakech anytime soon, I urge you to visit. With all the pink buildings in the city, the gardens intense colour and vibrancy provides a breath of fresh air and the best back drops. Plus you will be mesmerised by the Souks as I did, wanting to take everything home.

Thanks again to Figleaves for my sassy swimwear. Definitely looking forward to purchasing their lingerie and nightwear too!

Malaga with Swimwear 365

2017-11-07T10:57:00.000+00:00

Jumpsuit, Dress, Stripe Bikini, Yellow Bikini: Swimwear365

Last week I went on a trip to Malaga in Spain for a winter holiday in the sun. If you follow me on Instagram you will remember my recent holiday to Jamaica, however after 2 months I was definitely getting the holiday blues......so another vaca was needed!

And to help me with my wardrobe staples, the lovely team over at Swimwear365 sent me some of my favourite pieces from their website. If you haven't heard of the brand before then they are the go to brand for any holiday as they basically provide you swimwear and beachwear 365 days of the year!

I chose outfits 4 outfits starting off with this gorgeous paisley playsuit which is super soft and the perfect piece to wear over a bikini. I styled the playsuit with beaded flats and a boater hat and matching straw bag for a day to a Spanish vineyard. When abroad, for me comfort is key during the day and this playsuit was just that. Swimwear365 have a tonne of amazing bikinis, so whittling my bikini choice down to 2 styles was a task in itself. I decided on this striped bikini, a great way to make a statement on the beach and this yellow bikini top and briefs. My final choice of attire was this simple yet chic bardot dress which I knew would work so many ways for the day with flats over my bikini and at night with a pair of statement heels!

I had such a relaxing and much needed break, thanks again Swinwear 365 for my holiday looks!!!

Pink & Red

2016-10-13T10:30:00.001+01:00

Coat: Topshop, Sweater: Topshop, Trousers: Topshop, Shoes: Boden, Bag: Chloe, Sunglasses: Vintage, Watch: c/o Freedom @ Topshop

Autumn colours are not usually thought of as bright hues such as pink or red, however for me the season means colour. London weather being so miserable in the winter means bright clothing keeps me sane and in a good mood. The fusion of pink and red makes such a strong impact when done subtly. Here I have paired this pink coat with red pieces underneath to create a fun colour blocked ensemble. By sticking to one pink piece ensures my outfit is not over the top and means anyone can create the look too. Can't wait to wear this pink coat throughout the season.

Yoga at the Shard

2016-07-15T15:14:00.000+01:00

Top, Leggings: Sweaty Betty, Trainers: New Balance

Last week I arrived at the Shard in London to attend yoga with the Farfetch team. For those who are unaware of Farfetch, they create an inspirational shopping experience to fashion forward consumers and house luxury avant-garde designer brands online and within their 400 fashion boutiques creating an innovative approach to merchandising and selling. Allowing their customers to shop handpicked exclusive pieces delivered from the boutique straight to their home.

Taking the train at 7am in the morning wearing yoga gear surrounded by city workers was very strange. But as soon as I arrived at the shard on the top floor to breathtaking iconic views 1,016ft high above ground level, it was totally worth it! I have done yoga a few times before, however working out with London as a back drop somehow just made me relax and really let go of any stresses and anxiety I had prior. Some of the moves were quite complex but the trainer really engaged with us and made us feel very comfortable.

Yogasphere at The Shard was founded by Mandy Jharmat and Leo Lourdes and provide the highest weekly yoga sessions in the world. Plus for every client that attends a class, Yogasphere plants 10 trees, and for every one to one session taken they plant 50 trees. Their aim is to plant 1 billion trees through yoga! I love working out for a cause..... that in itself is definitely an incentive to attend yoga at The Shard.

Afterwards Farfetch provided a gorgeous and of course healthy breakfast for us all at the Shangri-La Hotel in our own private dining space. We had yogurts, smoked salmon, egg and other yummy treats with a selection of teas. I definitely ate too much but the food was soooo good, and it was such a great way to start my day. Thanks again to the Farfetch team and Yogasphere for such an enlightening and relaxing experience!

Ascot with Coast

2016-07-14T00:24:00.000+01:00

Top, Skirt, Clutch, Fascinator, Earrings: Coast, Shoes: Topshop (old)

Last month I attended Ascot for the very first time, and I couldn't have attended with a better brand than Coast, their press team, and a few other bloggers. If you have ever attended Ascot, you will know that Coast is the go to brand on the high street for occassion wear, I can't tell you how many outfits we spotted there.

Being more of a glam dresser this suited me to a T! I absolutely love getting dressed up to attend events and the fact that I was surrounded by so many gorgeous well dressed women on Ladies Day was a fantastic experience. I have always been a lover for a midi skirt and so as soon as Coast told me that I would be dressed head to toe in the brand, I instantly had an idea of what I wanted to wear. Browsing the website I fell in love with this Ameliana skirt, the colour composition initially drew me in and the length was just perfect. Coast invited me to their Oxford St store to have a personal styling session to pick out my outfit. I initially went for this beautiful yellow skirt, as the Ameliana skirt was sold out. A week later I spotted it in John Lewis and I had to have it as it's definitely a piece I will wear again and again...timeless! With so many rules and regulations to dressing for Ascot, there was so much to consider when planning my outfit. Luckily we were in the Windsor Enclosure which meant that I was able to wear an off shoulder top finishing off my look with pearl earrings, this cute bow bag and a black fascinator.

We took the train to Ascot from London which took around 45mins and then a short 10min walk from the station to the racing grounds. On arrival we had a luscious picnic and of course I placed a few bets... I mean I couldn't go all the way to Acot and not place at least one bet! Luckily I went home even so it was a good day in the end! It was such a lovely experience, with sun, champagne, and the juiciest of strawberries. Thanks again to Coast and the press team!

Hotel Splendid E'toile

2016-05-24T19:35:00.000+01:00

Over a month ago you will recall my trip to Paris and the amazing hotel experience I had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Splendid Etoile. This cute romantic hotel is what I now call my parisian secret as it's centrally located in the 17th arrondissement within walking distance from the Champs E'lysees and Charles des Gualle Etoile metro.

On arrival the staff were exceptionally welcoming with a bottle of champagne, truffles and snacks which went down a treat after travelling from the UK. I stayed in their corner suite which had sensational views of the Arc D'Triomphe and a balcony that wraps around the apartment. The room consisted of duck egg blue and hints of orange decor with a large closet in the hall way, ideal for a fashionable array of outfits. The marbled en-suite also had access to the balcony and views of paris.

Along with a restaurant, bar, free wifi and dry cleaning available it has all you need for a comfortable stay. I can truly say that this hotel is by far one of my favourite destinations to stay in Paris. A special thank you to all the staff at Hotel Splendid Etoile as you truly made my experience in Paris a most memorable one.

Red, White & Blue

2016-04-19T09:53:00.000+01:00

Jacket: Topshop, Trousers: c/o Boden, Blouse: c/o Boden, Shoes: c/o Boden, Clutch: Karl Largerfeld x Very Exclusive, Cape: Chloe, Sunglasses: Le Specs, Neck tie: Topshop (love these)

I've always loved the patriotic combination of red white and navy...so clean and classic. However today I'm showing you how to style the same look 2 ways, casual and for the office. Starting with these cropped striped trousers which are the most comfy pair of pants I have tried. They are super soft cotton which literally move with you. I love styling trousers like these with a basic stripe shirt as you can never go wrong with a fitted shirt. This boyfriend style works well tucked in or worn out over a pair of jeans. By just swapping my jacket from a red bomber which is this season's must have, to this navy cape literally creates two unique looks which is super easy to recreate. It's amazing how a change of colour and style of jacket can enhance your outfit. And of course my patriotic look wouldn't be complete without a pair of red shoes!

On another note I have been super busy moving house as I just bought my new home. Sooooo exciting!!! Cant wait to bring more lifestyle posts to share with you all soon!

Flared Hems - LFW Day 1 AW16

2016-02-27T20:41:00.001+00:00

Coat: c/o Hobbs, Jeans: Frame, Shirt: customised by Denim Recon (similar), Shoes: Boden
Hat: H&M, Silver bag: c/o LK Bennett, Red bag: c/o Alexander McQ x Very Exclusive
Sunglasses: Asos, Taylor Morris, Neck tie: Topshop (love these), Photography Credit: David Nyanzi

Day 1 of LFW is always crazy and hectic with usually back to back shows, however this season felt much more relaxed and I actually really enjoyed it. Instead of rushing from show to show I concentrated on the shows I really wanted to see. First show of the day was J. JS Lee which centred around simple clean silhouettes, high neck lines and head to toe prints. Followed by Felder Felder which had a more eclectic rock and roll vibe featuring luxe metallics, fur and leather with energised models strutting the runway.

My outfit initially started with this belted mac from Hobbs. I have had it for about 7 months now but somehow totally forgot about it. I recently did a clear out and came across this orange treasure and knew that it would be the perfect piece to wear this season. With it's floral print it screams spring, yet when paired with white flares it provides a trendy sophisticated look. Having long limbs means that sometimes its hard to find the right shirts. I have been after a bell sleeved blouse for ages and found one in Zara but unfortunately it just fell too short. So I decided to have my shirt customised to fit, and I'm so happy I did. The right length sleeves peeking out of this mac along with my favourite white flares, was such a cute combo.

I recently fell in love with this little McQueen bag... I mean how cute is it?! And the fact that it has my initials on there it really was not an option to leave behind! But let's face it going to LFW with a teeny bag is not very practical as where would I put my invites, phone, and other necessities? So the only option was to double bag! And this silver cross body was the ideal companion! Just the right size for all the items left over and finished off my look perfectly!

Working Denim x DP

2016-02-19T22:38:00.000+00:00

Coat: LK Bennett, Blouse: Topshop, Jeans: c/o Dorothy Perkins, Shoes: LK Bennett (similar)
Bag: Chanel, Brooch: chanel, Hat: H&M, Sungalsses: Asos, Photo Credit: Rebecca Botin

This is my second look showing you how I wear my jeans to work for the Dorothy Perkins denim campaign. Black jeans are the perfect alternative for casual fridays in the office, and easy enough to get away with when wearing denim to work. Styling my denim with a longline white blouse and colour block coat keeps my look formal and chic. I have recently become addicted to longline shirts as they are so easy to style but also looks super smart no matter how you style it. Opt for a printed shirt like this for the weekends.

I finally found the perfect red coat. I have been after a red coat for ages and I seem to have every other colour but red?! This beauty is made from wool and so has been my life saver over the last few weeks with the London weather taking a turn. Of course my outfit wouldn't be complete without a print in tow and the addition of print came in the form of these spotted flats. If flats aren't your thing then they also are available in these heels too.

Tall Denim Campaign x DP

2016-02-15T10:14:00.001+00:00

Coat: c/o Shein, Jeans: c/o Dorothy Perkins, Shirt: Topshop, Shoes: c/o Hobbs, Hat: Whistles (similar), Sunglasses: Asos, Bag: Chloe, Watch: Abbott Lyon, Photo credit: Rebecca Botin

So I recently did a shoot for Dorothy Perkins to show their readers three ways us tall girls can style denim. You can read the full post here. The jean in question was their current Eden style which is a super skinny jegging jean... perfect for us leggy girls and this style comes in a 36" leg which comes up longer. And even though these are jeggings, they have pockets and stitching just as regular jeans. I can't tell you just how comfortable these babies are. I mean, I have never worn jeans with an elastic waist before but I really can't stress how good they feel. They fit high on the waist with just enough stretch to head out for a night of partying or curl up on the sofa. DP have created a selection of denim styles to suit all shapes and sizes.

For my first look I styled these baby blues...creating a double denim outfit combined with this camel coat with a bold splash of colour. For me there is nothing better than a statement coat to layer over my jeans. This style is quite oversized but works well that way. Double denim is a great combo to dress up or down with a pair of heels and still always provides a polished yet not tried too hard look. My second and third looks will be featured on the blog later this week, so make sure you check in to see how I style my DP jeans.

Burgundy Pairings

2016-02-01T17:29:00.002+00:00

Blazer & Trousers: c/o In The Style, Sweater: Zara (similar), Shoes: c/o Boden, Bag: c/o Reiss

Coat: Asos, Hat: Whistles, Sunglasses: Vinatge, Photo Credit: Rebecca Botin

This season my love for burgundy has seriously taken over my closet. Anything burgundy I spot in stores instantly draws me in. The soft hue yet strong palette, sharp enough to make a statement whilst being subtle at the same time....my new black!

This suit was the ideal duo to style and infuse a head to toe tonal ensemble. The trousers are slightly cropped which works well going into Spring. As we all know styling a suit is easy to create for work, however I wanted to show you a more relaxed feel which can be worn to the office.

The sweater is from Zara and I can't tell you how much I have worn this. I found a similar style here which you can use to create the look if your local Zara has sold out. When styling a look in one colour be sure to use different shades and fabrications as this will help your outfit come together. By styling with a darker fedora and pointy flats adds helps balance the tone. Lastly my cute cross body from Reiss in a deeper chocolate shade of burgundy and a slick of pink lipstick to finish off.

Velvet Details

2016-01-25T10:14:00.001+00:00

Coat: Topshop, Playsuit: c/o Topshop, Boots: c/o Asos, Hat: H&M, Sunglasses: Vintage

Bag: Chanel

Today's post I'm styling all black with a touch of velvet. This velvet playsuit from Topshop was the perfect piece for the festive season just gone. However when purchasing items for a particular event we sometimes never get to wear them again. By adding a camel coat, OTK boots and opaque tights enables me to wear my playsuit in the new year for drinks with friends. Toning down party wear for everyday styling is great way to ensure you get to wear all items in your closet.

Vintage Suede

2016-01-19T09:13:00.001+00:00

Blouse: Zara, Skirt: Brag Vintage, Shoes: Topshop, Bag: Chanel, Scarf: Sarah & Sorrentino, Sunglasses: George, Bracelets: J Crew, Annie Haak

I was recently sent this vintage suede skirt by Brag Vintage who sell yes you guessed it...vintage clothes and accessories. Normally I find it difficult when shopping in vintage stores as I like order when shopping and tend to struggle browsing through rails of stock jumbled together. However when I came across Brag Vintage online it was a dream come true, as I could shop online with everything organised and find one off vintage gems that I may have missed in store. From long 1930s dresses to short 1960s shifts to denim dungarees.

With the 70's influence going nowhere I chose this button down skirt which has the most softest suede texture. Styling with this blue denim pussy bow blouse and mirrored sunnies keeps the focus on my new suede skirt.

Flirty Hems

2016-01-13T22:44:00.001+00:00

Jacket: c/o Miss Selfridge (similar), Top: c/o Speedway, Skirt: c/o Closet London
Shoes: c/o New Look, Clutch: c/o Monsoon, Necklace: J Crew, Sunglasses: c/o Kite

As you know I love my midi skirts and this beauty currently comes in a variety of colour ways to choose from. The hi low hem takes it from being a standard midi to a fun and flirty piece that can be styled in so many ways.

I opted to style it with a relaxed vest top that is more for casual gym styling. However the party season doesn't always mean that you have to purchase something new. The fun of styling is all about recreating looks from the pieces you already have in your wardrobe. Adding a biker jacket with fringe detailing and an embellished clutch provides an ensemble that will take you from a dinner date to the dance floor!

Burgundy Tones

2015-12-21T10:44:00.000+00:00

Coat: 2nd Day x Very Exclusive, Sweater: Zara (similar), Jeans: Asos, Shoes: Hobbs, Bag: Chloe, Hat: Whistles, Sunglasses: Vintage

Burgundy is definitely my favourite colour of the season! And paired with this pastel pink 2nd Day snuggly coat is the perfect partner to battle the current windy temperatures in London. Initially when I spotted this sweater in Zara I knew it would be an ideal match for my Chloe clutch. This ensemble worked well for a casual Saturday lunch in central London... comfy jeans, sweater and a bright coat!

Jumper, Shoes, Diffuser, Dress, Bag, Gilet: Next

Christmas is on the horizon and my favourite part of the festive season is always buying gifts for friends and loved ones. Whenever someone asks me what I would like for Christmas, I never seem to know what I want or need... however when it comes to buying gifts for others you have to stop me from buying too much!

Whether it be a dress or sweater you can be sure to find a style you like from the selection available. Cover up with some faux fur which is all over the high street at the moment, and the easiest way to work this trend in your wardrobe is with a sleeveless gilet or scarf.

Another day, another suit! I'm coming quite accustomed to wearing a casual suit combo lately. This paisley blazer and skirt set has the most gorgeous emerald tone and intricate details. Pairing with a victorian blouse and OTK boots provided a matador...esque feel! Ready to whip the street walk! Of course English temperatures call for a coat and this camel beauty has been my go to throw over recently!

As December approaches and the festive season officially begins, the invites to Christmas parties start to drop. The first thing on my mind usually is what am I going to wear? So today I've collaborated with Asos to show you how I style for the season. I usually like to go for dresses, however sometimes an understated suit is the perfect combo. This cape and trouser set is the ideal piece to take you from early dinner to night out, with a quick change of the top worn underneath... try going from a black basic to a crop top. The satin details provides the right amount of formality to the ensemble, yet the cape adds glamour to a polished look. Adding this monochrome cross body keeps my hands free for socialising and dancing.

LTG x Amazon 'I wish I could wear' Campaign

2015-11-28T10:42:00.000+00:00

If you follow me on Instagram and Twitter then you would have read all about the campaign that I recently took part in with Amazon Fashion Europe and renown photographer, Rankin. The concept of the advert was to empower other women to wear what they like regardless of their 'so called flaws'. Being 6ft, I have battled with the dilemmas of clothes not fitting well, trousers not being long enough or waists of dresses being in the wrong place but I have learnt to dress for my body shape and wear what I like, to me style is all about confidence.

In my teens I felt like I didn't fit in and always stood out, however by the time I hit 15 I learnt to accept my body and embrace my height. One of the reasons why I started my blog was to inspire other women through fashion, to stand tall and be confident. Fashion for me is all about how you style clothes to make them work for you and only you! It's about working with what you have and really not worrying about how others perceive you, and just wearing whatever the hell you want.. including the highest heels you can find! So with this in mind I was honoured to take part in the campaign and fly the flag for us tall ladies of the world!

Outfit 1 - Coat: Asos, Jumpsuit: Very (old), Shoes: Carvela

Outfit 2 - Jacket, Closet Jumpsuit, New Look Shoes: Amazon Fashion

Since this campaign went live I have received the most amazing feedback and comments from other tall women. Knowing that others have been inspired to step out of their comfort zone and try new things is what makes being a blogger so rewarding. Thanks so much for all your comments and emails.

Don't look like me, look like you!

Suited & Booted

2015-11-27T06:39:00.000+00:00

Blazer: c/o LK Bennett, Skirt: c/o LK Bennett, Sweater: Topshop, Boots: c/o LK Bennett, Bag: c/o LK Bennett, Hat: c/o Monsoon, Necklaces: c/o Monsoon, Sunglasses: Vintage, Brooch: Chanel

Miltary details are everywhere at the moment and with Balmain cementing a collaboration with H&M, this further enforced the trend. What I love about this suit in particular is the gold details on the blazer and the fluted hem of this skirt... oh so elegant, plus the wool fabrication is just perfect for Autumn. I wore this outfit in Paris for PFW which was probably not the best time to wear a wool suit and turtle neck during the late summer, but I just knew it would serve me well during the cooler months to come.

Styling military details always works well with stripes and being in Paris definitely gave this ensemble a parisian feel. Mixing with a contrasting print in the leopard clutch and boot duo keeps my look fun and relaxed. To complete of course another fedora to add to my never ending collection, and this one comes in at a mere £29.... J' adore!

Whilst in Paris I stayed at the stunning and unique Napolean Hotel which was a absolute pleasure. Located literally a stone's throw away from the Arc de Triomphe, it's in the ideal location for sight seeing and shopping. I stayed in a complimentary junior suite which consisted of a spacious large bedroom with a king size bed and seating area, a closet to unpack and hang all my outfits plus a ensuite bathroom and separate toilet. Upon arriving to the room I was welcomed with a bottle of champagne and note.

If you love Paris as much as I do then this is definitely the perfect hotel to stay in as the Parisian theme is carried throughout the hotel from the lobby into the bedrooms.

The staff were extremely friendly and polite which truly made my stay in Paris a memorable one. Much needed to ease the hectic scenes of fashion week!

Fail Safe Denim

2015-11-24T07:30:00.000+00:00

Jacket: c/o Juicy Couture, Bag: c/o Juicy Couture, Blouse: Topshop, Skirt: c/o New Look
Shoes: Topshop, Sunglasses: c/o Kite

There's just something about a twinset combo that I find the most endearing. Maybe it's the elegance and vintage vibe it provides. When I spotted this Juicy Couture denim tweed blazer and bag set I instantly fell in love. It's just so cute and chic, plus the denim keeps it looking young and trendy... and less grandma and pearls!

Playing with the denim theme I paired the duo with this button down skirt (last styled here). The great thing about this skirt is that it's available in tall, petite and standard sizes so no need to worry about the length or fit, and it literally is the softest denim at a bargain price point. Of course a pair of skinny jeans and sneakers would work just as well. You really can never go wrong with denim!

Feathered Hems

2015-11-06T07:05:00.000+00:00

Blazer: c/o Pretty Little Thing x Fashion Chick, Blouse: c/o Monsoon, Jeans: c/o Asos Tall

Hat: Whistles, Bag: Chloe, Shoes: Topshop, Watch: Caravelle New York

Being tall I'm definitely a sucker for a longline blazer as they are perfect from breaking up my frame. This gorgeous feathered beauty was recently sent to me by the PLT team and I'm so in love with it. It's from the Lucy Mecklenburgh's chic party collection of old school glamour and elegant silhouettes and for £25 it really is worth it. Keeping my look casual for the day, I styled the blazer with my go to ripped skinnies and this lace victorian blouse, providing an elegant ensemble finished off with an edgy twist. With christmas parties on the horizon this feathered trim piece will be the perfect accomplice to a LBD and statement heels!

Grid Lock

2015-10-26T21:21:00.000+00:00

Sweater c/o Reiss, Bag c/o Reiss, Culottes: Topshop (similar), Shoes: c/o Hobbs
Hat: Whistles (similar), Watch: c/o Jord, Bracelets: J Crew, Annie Haak

Sweater season is finally here... and this makes me super excited as Autumn is my favourite season. I absolutely love layering during the colder months and being able to play with textures and colours. Recently I have been loving this structured grid sweater from Reiss, I seriously can't stop wearing it. The bold colour and heavy fabric keeps me cosy whilst creating an impactful look. Styled with culottes and heels keeps my outfit casual for a day of meetings yet transferable for evening drinks.

Box bags were everywhere during the summer and they are going nowhere for fall... so invest now! This patent beauty is in the colour of the season and the chain strap presents an elegant, go with everything feel!

I have recently become accustom to wearing a watch... which I haven't done since I was 13yrs old. Yes I know, instead I relied on my mobile phone! This wooden watch works perectly with my style as it is made from maple wood, and so modern and sustainable. One month in and I've already got a collection going!

Today's outfit started with this gorgeous pussy bow blouse from Next. They have recently launched their super speedy delivery service where you can literally order by midnight to receive next day delivery....yes NEXT DAY!!

I'm currently loving the pussy bow trend at the moment as it's so easy to dress down with denim or up with a cute suede skirt. I chose to style my look for a day of meetings in denim skinnies and this burnt orange Zara blazer that I recently purchased, along with these UH-MAZING over the knee suede boots. Having such long legs can sometimes be tricky finding the right length boots and these babies were a dream as they actually fit thigh high but on me they are perfect the OTK. To finish off, I wore my Chloe Faye bag in this warm red shade which kept the rustic theme going, perfect for fall.

As you all know I'm a major lover of the midi skirt, whether it comes in a solid block colour or an eye catching print. I find them extremely versatile and super easy to wear as they can be styled for the office or a girl's night out, as well as the added bonus that they are very flattering on so many body shapes.

LK Bennett is undoubtedly my one stop shop for the midi skirt, and has been for the past few seasons. To celebrate this shape and it's success, LK Bennett have launched the #SocialSkirt to reinforce their love for this chic silhouette. This season they have designed a range of six styles in a mix of rich textured fabrics and prints... yes something for everyone! And to help you style your choice of the 'Social Skirt' they have collaborated with a number of bloggers and fashion influencers across the globe to showcase their AW15 midi collection.

Today's post features this statement midi skirt from my shoot with the brand, which I literally can't stop wearing. The cow print is definitely a show stopper, yet for those with more of a classic taste the cream and black tones work well. Styling with a red sweater and contrasting blue suede flats keeps my look chic and fun for day. For a night look simply switch to classic stilettos and a cropped top for an on trend effortless feel. Be sure to follow the #SocialSkirt on Instagram and Twitter.
