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?

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!

Questions of the day:

Do you like to channel a little vintage into your everyday look?

What's your favourite era of fashion?
