I was in London last week for a couple of days celebrating my parents ruby wedding anniversary. The weather was beautiful and London is always great when the sun is shining. Took these shots around chelsea harbour. Not somewhere I get to come when I’m usually here, so it was a nice change. I wore this very slim fitting pencil skirt for my night out. I love the delicate nude shade and sheer fabric. Not too much room for error (food & drink) but I couldn’t turn down the chance to wear it. It’s not an everyday skirt but it’s definitely a gorgeous piece. I did a little colour blocking and added this lace back black body suit. I do like the colours together. It’s a striking match of nude and black. You could go for a cream or pink to make the look softer which I think I’ll do next time. So the evening went well and my parents had a great time. I was sad this time to leave my sister and sunny London. It was so nice to be together enjoying the special day. I’ve a couple of pics over on my Instagram of my visit. You can check out here. Have a great week. Dawn xx
I’ve been wearing a lot of black lately. I’ve been a little bored with the strong colours at the moment so relying on my old faithful – the all black look. I’ve added a little spice with the metallic vest and studded sandals but thats about it. Not venturing too much in the heavy colours for summer- not just yet anyway. But you never know, next week could be something completely different.For now thou I’m playing it simple.
I love metallics worn alone against skin tones. Especially good in the summer and for the beach. I can’t wait to enjoy a little warmer sunshine and go with out the jacket but it’s not quite there yet. Wearing sandals is a summer time favourite of mine- these rockstud gladiators are very glamorous and great for dressing up a simple jeans outfit. Hope your all having a good weekend. Catch up next week when I might wear something other then black xx Dawn
I was wearing Leather fringed jacket, Kate Moss X Topshop 2014 (These are similarhere, here &here) Jeans, River Island (Designer lookhere, High Street here) Top, H&M Boots, Saint Laurent ( Similar version here, High SThere) Bag, Ralph Lauren (Great high street version here &here) Sunglasses, Chloe
I love adding textures and details to an outfit in the simplicity of either leather, suede or fringing. Jackets and boots with a little detail are always great to have in the wardrobe. I’ve doubled up on fringing with my jacket and my bag today. I like the two colours together with the same fringe detail. An everyday jeans and vest outfit made a little more exciting with a few cool pieces. Suedeis such a great feature to bring into an outfit. It can be done in a subtle way or full out. Creating outfits can be lots of fun with some many lovely pieces to play around with. Anything from beach holidays to city breaks these kind ofjackets, bags and boots can be used in lots of different ways. Enjoy the weekend xx Dawn
It’s sometimes nice to go back to something a little simple and safe. These soft neutrals are perfect for just that. Creams are still one of my wardrobe favourites. I love soft flowing fabrics for summer. Romantic colours and fabrics for a little summer time fling. These style culottes seem to be every where at the moment. It’s nice to have a great choice of fashions. There definitely seems to be a strong direction this year with lots of the trends. The choice is a little over whelming at times. I always stick to something transitional and usable season after season. So going for these neutral colours is a good choice for use season after season.
It’s so good to just hang out in shorts and anything else skimpy enough to wear on these hot days. The airiest attire only need to be hanging in the wardrobe at this moment in time. I just love it when the top drawer becomes prioritised with all thats summer. Bikinis, shorts and such. Saturday was the longest day of the year already!! I could chase these sun filled days around the world and never have a winter… I’m sunshine girl !!!
