How to Style a Baker Boy Hat

Baker Boy Hats: They're a unique way to tackle the colder weather, and I'm rather invested. 

I wouldn't consider myself a hat person nor did I ever think I'd fall so madly in love with baker boy hats. Not only do they hide any trace of a bad hair day, they also elevate a simple jeans and tee outfit. Pull your hair into a low, messy bun to really nail the baker boy look. 

Can we just talk about these ballet pumps? They are so cute. I needed new ones and since I'm hitting refresh on my accessories I thought why not go for bright pink velvet? They are most definitely impractical to wear 80% of the time, due to English weather but they compliment ankle grazer jeans so nicely and they are under £10 in the Mango sale at the moment- Well worth it!

Feeling Lighter - How to Dress for Humid Weather

I've forever been a fan of the midi skirt. It's simple, effortless and the perfect transitional piece. They are ideal for that in-between weather we have in England- the humid kind.

I like this one because it's not too tight yet still has that figure hugging feel- this style of midi skirt is better suited for those lazy Sundays. A loosely fitted shirt juxtaposes the tighter fit of the skirt and trainers keeps the outfit casual and cool.

In the hotter months, I tend to opt for little or no jewellery. This small chained bracelet from Tiffany&Co is perfect to add intricate detailing to an otherwise plain outfit. If you wanted to dress up the outfit for a walk in the city, statement earrings would be a chic addition.

Outside my Comfort Zone

It was in Sixth Form when I was completely put off wearing trousers. I decided to go and buy brown chinos as an alternative to dresses and skirts. I put them on wore them to school and just felt gross. I was having a classic girl moment of feeling ugly and fat. I hated them by the end of the day and swore off ever wearing any sort of trouser that didn't involve denim again. Until now, I was having a splurge on Topshop sale and came across these! I don't know what made me buy them I think the fact that I want to start playing around with my style and to try new things maybe. I'm very happy I did take a chance on these as they are comfy, smart and suit my body shape better than I expected. I also think going for a trouser that is above the ankle looks great with boots and flats, and it shows off one of the smallest parts of a woman's body making them very flattering! 

Gucci Gucci Gucci, the brand is all over my Instagram at the moment and if it's not the Gucci belt then it's Gucci slogan tee, not forgetting the infamous Gucci loafers! I love the simple style of the loafer so I took it upon myself to find a pair similar, good for everyday use and a lot cheaper. So, say hello to these beauties from New Look. They are perfect for work and they go with any outfit and are very on trend.

The only thing that makes up for weather like this is new winter purchases and serene winter walks. 

Winter is one of my favourite seasons for outfit building and layering, with coats becoming an increasingly bad obsession for my bank balance, at least. 

This Missguided Aviator Jacket is something I've had my eye on for ages and as it began to get colder and seeming to stay that way. It was the ideal excuse to buy it, and I don't regret it in the slightest. The inside is lined with faux fur making it comfortable, extremely cosy and warm, which ticks every box of being a good jacket. 

I paired it with a light grey wool jumper and dark grey jeans, teamed with patch work patent boots to complete the look. Its a simple no fuss winter outfit, fit for facing the cold but still looking stylish and put together.

Wild Prints and Winter Walks

Animal print is a trend I've kept well away from in the past...but I can no longer ignore it, as every year it creeps on to my Instagram feed. 

So this year I've been swayed and inspired to experiement. I've paired these two coats with a simple black knitted dress as to not take any attention away from the print. 

I also think if you paired the coat seen in the first photo with a pair of blue denim jeans, and black tee it would look perfect for a morning stroll to grab a coffee...or add a bit of red lipstick to go from day to night. 

Leopard print is more verstile than I first thought and also a lot easier to wear, it's definitely bold and it took me a while to get used to seeing myself in it but I love it. 

I've wanted to style this bag with an outfit ever since I found it in Zara. A few months ago I fell in love with Chloe bags...especially the Faye collection, and this is a more affordable dupe with the simple detailing of the gold ring and tassle. A perfect classic.
