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?

Vintage 1940s Inspired Lookbook

While raiding Ayah's wardrobe, we found this cute little denim tea-dress, and we were inspired to do a 1940's style lookbook.

To achieve this style, we curled the hair and pinned it slightly back. For makeup we went for a winged eyeliner, whilst keeping the rest quite classic with a pink lip.
The gloves were an impulsive addition, we wanted to add a little bit of class (and let's be honest, it's just fun to wear long gloves!). We decided on simple black flat shoes because we couldn't find a heel to suit the look!

Dress: Forever21

Gloves: An independent store

This photoshoot was so much fun to do! It involved a lot of trotting back and forth as we tried to get good 'natural' action shots, as well as ignoring the strange looks we got from people driving past!

As we said, it's only a Vintage Inspired look, so forgive us for a bit of poetic licence in our historical accuracy!
