Miami Lookbook '16| ETL

A few weeks ago, I decided to head off to the US (for the first time ever!) to visit some family and friends.  It was definitely, a well deserved break that I was desperately in need of...

When I arrived to America, it felt like a whole other planet. 

People were super friendly, the food was absolutely amazing (you can literally find all types food from so many different cultures) in HUGE portions! 

Here are some of the photos from my favorite spot in Miami!

Storytellers: And The World Turns

The night is closing over us, gently, like a mother tucking her sleeping child into bed. The frosty breeze tickles our ears and whispers tales of where it's been and we listen in silence to it's stories, always ebbing and flowing, twisting and turning as it wraps itself around us and suddenly, as quickly as it came- it's gone.

Our cold hands lock together as we watch the stars waking; blinking their bright eyes and dancing in the inky blackness of the sky. The city below us moves in the sleepy way that cities do after dark. Bright lights move quickly along the streets of hard grey. The office blocks glow blue with the cold, harsh lights of after hours work and tiny dots of warm orange glow from windows.
Gradually they all fade away as people whisper goodnight, turn over and sleep.

We huddle together and watch our city, a place always bound by time, alarms and deadlines, as it closes it's eyes and sleeps. The rest of the world tiptoes by and blows a kiss our way.

Crickets play to us as the wind rustles through the dry leaves of the autumn trees above us. The creak of their branches is comforting, like a grandfather reading a story in a faded velvet armchair, a bowl of mint humbugs by his side. He smiles down at us with a kind, wizened look and reminds us softly that it's past our bedtime too. We don't belong in the dance of the night.

Time to go home.

Paint The Town Red

It's the first of October everyone! Summer went soooo fast, it's insane! But now it's time for autumn with bold warm colours, chunky knits and fierce outfits, it's an exciting season for fashion.

For this look we chose a simple short flowing red dress with a leather jacket to add a bit of a punchy casual element. We felt the chunky black heels made a nice addition to the outfit, giving what is quite a simple dress a bit of a kick and really adds a bit of power to the look. 

For the make up we went with a dark metallic smokey eye with a statement eye-liner and a simple lip, this gives the look a really bold and grungy look but with a touch of class. 

We left the hair really simple, starting with a loose plait before moving to letting the hair down with a lot of volume!

Dress: boohoo

Leather jacket: Stradivarius

Boots: H&M

For quite a simple look we absolutely love it! Perfect for a day when you want to inject a little oomph into your walk and feel a little powerful as you strut down the street.

Questions of the day:

How do you transition into an Autumn wardrobe?

What makes you feel most powerful?
