Wonder| Lookbook

Despite the freezing cold weather, we both got up at 8 am for this particular photoshoot, because that's how much we both love blogging! #dedication 

It's already started snowing here so we can officially say it's Winter! Which means it's time for us to get out those over the knee boots and some cozy cardigans (& coats ofcourse) to warm us up.   

The lovely people at Shoezone got in touch with us about their London Fashion Week (LFW) Collection which we absolutely loved! When we saw them we absolutely fell in love and just new we had to have them! Can we just take a moment to appreciate how pretty they look! Maybe not the shoes for climbing over rocks in (as we discovered...) but these shoes are sooo comfortable and surprisingly warm! 

It's a bit of a challenge to style over-the-knee boots but since these are platform and stretchy they have a really modern look and are easy to pair up with a casual or a night out outfit. We decided to go for the short skater dress to make the look a bit more fun and added the over the knee boots which really make the look stand out!

Little Lights

As courses get busier and the Christmas season rolls in it's easy to get lost in the stress of it all. Deadlines to meet, people to see, presents to buy, events to attend. It all seems to pile up. And though it's a time of so much fun and joy, it's important to remember not to do too much or you'll find yourself burning out.

So this is our little reminder to you to put your feet up! Make yourself a cup of hot chocolate, wrap up in front of a film and treat yourself!

We'd also like to set you a little challenge! Take a look around you, at your friends and family, colleagues or classmates and think about who could do with a little slice of sunshine. Perhaps they need a coffee, or a meal cooked for them, or just a night in! Be a little light in your community and just think; what can you do to make someone smile this week?

The Fog and the Flowers| Lookbook

November has definitely arrived with thick fog, dark evenings and a very very chilly breeze! It's always a struggle to know what to wear in the winter months, as you're freezing when you leave the house but boiling whenever you're inside! So we thought we'd create a little lookbook inspired by the autumn/winter change.

For this look we went with another muted palette with a black blouse, black over-sized hoodie and floral statement leggings. These leggings are great because they're fun and different without being childish or looking like 'grandma's curtains'. As a little added bonus, they're super comfy to wear and are brilliant with a baggy jumper for a casual day look.

We loooove a good smokey eye and so of course what better for the foggy days and nights of November than this statement look? We used a lot of silver and greys with a bold flicked eyeliner that draws people's attention. The pink lip adds a bit of colour to the look but isn't too overwhelming.

Hair hair hair! To create this we curled the hair a bit, textured it with some hairspray and swept it into a low messy bun. We then teased out a few wisps of hair to frame the face and soften the appearance. This hairstyle is great because it's so versatile, it could look perfect with a pastel dress for a summer day out, but also really suits a casual grungy look.

Blouse: Next

Leggings: Primark

Shoes: Select

This is such an easy way to experiment with the grunge look and perfect for this chilly winter weather!

Questions of the day:

Do you usually go for a Smokey Eye or more of a Natural look?

AND.   Are flowery leggings your kinda thing too?
