FarFetch: Style the Sunnies

Recently I was contacted by the company FarFetch asking me to put together a stylish outfit based around a pair of sunglasses of my choosing. Of course I obliged to the offering of scouring their site full of gorgeous fashion pieces and creating an amazing outfit that is chic and effortless for spring. 

I'm quite a casual dresser from day-to-day but I do love to experiment when it comes to statement pieces and trends. I love the relaxed yet tailored structure to this outfit, it exudes put togetherness whilst not trying to hard. 

The Glasses- The centre piece of this outfit. Personally I have quite an oval face shape which is more suited to wayfarer glasses and particularly rounded frames, such as those above. The bold shape of the frames balances out my features and subdues my jawline. I am particularly drawn to tortoise shell designs as they appear more flattering on my fair skin tone than a stark black frame, warming up the colour palette of the outfit.
If you need more help unique to your face shape you can find more details over at FarFetch here.

The Gilet- I wanted to keep the outfit light for spring however in England there is still a bit of a chill in the air around this time of year so layers are always essential. This fur lined gilet is the perfect neutral tone to keep in line with the earthy colour tones of the palette, as well as adding a touch of allure to the overall look. Fringe is still so on trend and will be throughout spring, adding a three-dimensional aspect to the outfit.

The Shirt- Isn't this just captivating? As soon as I saw it I knew it had to be a part of the outfit, the animal print gives a nod to the tortoise shell on the sunglasses and the colours just screams spring. I love the contrast against the black as this adds an edge to the clean cut shapes. This shirt is slightly over-sized and I'd tuck it in to appeal to the relaxed aesthetic. 

The Trousers- As for these, I wanted to keep in sync with the refined shape of the whole outfit, so by keeping the trousers fitted it allows for a crisp silhouette. The cropped cuffs flatter the leg, elongate the calf and grace the ankle, obliging a devastating shoe.

The Shoes- These Jimmy Choo's complete the look with a khaki flare and a bronze lace. The ankle height complements the cropped trousers and the cut outs accompany the peep toe to add to the spring vibe of the ensemble. With wrap around laces the casual vibe is reestablished from head to toe, breaking down the strong angles of the other pieces.

The Clutch- Just to finish of the outfit with a practical touch, this clutch adds texture and cleanliness to the earthen tones, picking up the colour palette and harmonising with the shirt.

All of these items are linked to and can be found on the FarFetch website, along with many other amazing choices. You can find their whole range of sunglasses here. 

I really enjoyed putting together this look and hope it gives you some inspiration this spring.

Style Icons

I have been lacking a bit of motivation lately and I think it's mostly down to having left school. Now that I don't have to get up early or be anywhere specific I have kind of gone slack and let myself go as you could say. Ultimately I haven't done as much as I could have and haven't made the most of the time I've had so far. However I've decided enough is enough and that I am going to try and organise myself a bit more and make myself do something worth while with my time. So that is what this picture is about! Just a little reminder that if you can you should do at least one thing a day.

 Anyway onto the real subject of this post, sorry about rambling! Ok so I have been exploring my personal style lately and thinking about my staple pieces of clothing and what I like to wear; so I thought I would show you some of my style icons.

Ashley Benson
I am obsessed, to say the least, with PLL (pretty little liars) and I will be mentioning two of the actresses from the cast however to begin is Ashley Benson.

 I really love how effortless her outfits look, yet they are still flattering and interesting. She tends to stick with simple outfits with neutral or monochrome colours with a pop of colour in a certain part of her outfit. I think this really works for her, I love how she accessorises and she always has great handbags as well. 

Lucy Hale
The second PLL I also love as a singer and actress and she is also short, like me!

 I think her style is very individual and really suites her shape and height. She is someone that I love every outfit she wears and knows how to dress for each occasion. Her taste is so likeable and never looks over done.

Vanessa Hudgens

 I love how varied her style is, it really shows of every aspect of her personality and she never seems to 'follow' trends; I really like how Vanessa wears what she likes and looks great in everything. She can switch it up easily and effortlessly, from baggy cardigans and flowy skirts to monochrome skater dresses and classic denim shorts. She always seems to get it right and I love her boho chic.

Miley Cyrus
I know Miley has changed her style a bit lately and I do still like some of the stuff she wears however I prefer her older style choices.

 Her simplistic look always seems to be topped off with large statement necklaces and I love this, they make every look seem more unique and finished. She did tend to wear a lot of distressed shorts and jeans which I love and think the messier look is perfect for this summer coming up and I loved her long brown hair; it always look beachy and I was always jealous of it. She wore bold, statement tee's with loose cardigans or and scarfs, which just look so casual and easy. I especially loved her clothes in the film 'LOL' (which is great by the way and if you haven't seen it you should!). 

Lauren Conrad
I know Lauren's style is very well liked and a lot of people love her outfits so I guess I'm a little sheep in that sense, baa. 

Firstly I'm so jealous of her classic Chanel quilted lambskin hand bag! One day, I promise. Anyway she pieces together every outfit so well down to the shoes and handbag, she has impeccable style and is enviable to say the least. I love everything she wears and kind of just wish I could be her to be honest.

Sorry this is such a long post be hey! you can just admire these brilliant women's fashion and be jealous for a little while.

So I hope you enjoyed my post and don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin :)
