style inspiration: sequins! all day, every day

as the holiday season is upon us, so is a month of sequins, sparkles, glitter, gold, silver & so many other shiny shimmery delights in the shops. it's a magpie dream & i absolutely love it. but there's no reason why your seasonal sparkles can't be worn during those other 11 months of the year. the secret to wearing sequins during the day is to avoid being matchy matchy - which can make the look too dressy. so wear it with denim, a plain white tee, or gosh even a sweatshirt top for a cool, relaxed look.

tips: 
1. pile on delicate necklaces
2. mix your metals to offset being matchy matchy
3. layer with casual pieces like denim
4. keep hair messy for a relaxed look
5. pair with basics to neutralize the sparkle
6. match with menswear such as oxford loafers or a boxy men's shirt
7. just rock it, girl!

currently cuddling: skirting the issue

this autumn/ winter i am seriously cuddling the dainty, flowy midi-skirt combo with an oversized chunky knit. here are my style cuddling tips for nailing this awesome autumn trend.



ok call me boring but i love, love, love marks & spencer's sweaters.  for you yanks, marks & spencers (or as the brits call it "m&s") is a staple for food, clothes & a few household items. i can't think of a usa equivalent (maybe a little bit like an upscale target?).  anyways. i digress.  as i was saying, i love m&s sweaters. the quality is amazing, you can machine wash them & the price point is super accessible. so when i was in the uk a few weeks ago i just couldn't get enough! well actually, i was pretty limited with space in my already oversized suitcase but you get the point.  i also just discovered they ship to the usa for free so i'm quite delighted to know i can get a fix whenever i want.

shown: the heart sweater is one of my little purchases & i picked up another sweater very similar to that adorable pointelle one shown.  & for 50 bucks, the black topshop tuille skirt makes a lust a must & you know me, i can never say no to polka dots or stripes so this midi skirt is definitely on my wishlist! accessorizing tips: this look definitely looks good with a heel! i'd go for a simple pump.

nice photo shoot - style inspiration!

i recently stumbled on these photos shot by anja verdugo for summerland's look book. love the vintage-y vibe. styled by megan hart.




& the helga dress (worn in the top image) is on sale, style cuddlers! 
the cat shirt by design team twenty seven names (seen in the second shirt) is way too cute. 
...and btw, how cool are these socks?
