Off Shoulder + Lace

I've been absolutely loving off shoulder tops at the moment! They look super feminine and it's just the right amount of sexy meets sweet. (Hello there, collarbones!) 

I've combined a black ruffled off the shoulder top with a beautiful brick red lace pencil skirt. I've completed the look with some classic ankle strap sandals, a black choker (another hot favourite trend!), a nude clutch and mirrored sunglasses.

My current beauty favourites

Hi lovelies! 

Today, I'm gonna be talking about the beauty products I've been absolutely loving lately. Most of them are products many of you know and love; classics per se and some are new products that I recommend you try. 

**Disclaimer: This post is not sponsored. I only recommend products that I have personally used and love. Please bear in mind that since we all have different skin types, products that may work for some, may not always work for everyone so if you have sensitive skin or are unsure about anything, I recommend you get a sample and do a patch test before making a purchase.

So, without further ado, lets get straight to it: 

Clinique Moisture Surge moisturiser

(Buy)

This is my go-to moisturiser. It's got a gel-cream consistency which means it sinks into your skin, is super lightweight yet hydrating. I use this as a base under my makeup for that dewy finish or on its own on makeup free days. An absolute must have! 

Black, white and red all over

Hello lovelies!

Firstly, I'm sorry I've been MIA for a long time now. Hate being away from the blogosphere but I'm finally back with an outfit post I've been meaning to do forever. 

I've been in a 90's phase lately with mom jeans, crop tops, chokers and brown lipstick dominating my recent looks. Today's post is a 90's spin to a modern look. I've paired a white boxy crop top with black distressed denims and gave the monochrome look a pop of colour with bright red heels and thrown in some 90's elements with the half ponytail hairstyle and a silver choker. Minimal yet playful and edgy. Read on for more pictures, outfit details and links to shop them.

Trend Alert: Culottes

Hey lovelies!

Remember when Palazzos were all the rage a few years ago? Well, now it's all about the culottes. Yep. The shorter cousin of the palazzo pants. You can either love em' or hate em' you can't ignore em'. They may not be everyone's cuppa but I personally love it. They're perfect for work or play and look great both dressed up or casual.

Today I'm wearing burnt orange culottes paired with a navy star print tank, an olive/brown biker jacket and black fringe heels.

The pictures have been shot by my talented lil' brother John. Let's show him some love by following him on instagram @johnj2410 :)

The best lazy girl style hacks ever

Minimum effort. Maximum Style. Yes, please!

1. Throw on a sleeveless long coat over a basic outfit combo to elevate your look.

2. Give your girly outfit an unexpected twist by paring it with menswear inspired shoes like oxfords or brogues. 

3. Pair your boyfriend jeans with heels.

4. Don't "wear" your coat/jacket. Drape it over your shoulders. Miroslava Duma approves.

5. Belt your oversized outfits and outerwear to give it definition and style. 

6. Cuff your jeans at the hem to change things up. 

7. When in doubt, wear ankle strap sandals. They go with EVERYTHING. Ask Rihanna. 

8. There's nothing a statement necklace cant fix. 

9. Half-tuck your shirt!
