The Biker Coat ♡

You can't go wrong with a bit of leather, can you? Cool, edgy, chic... It can be a girl's best friend. I am in love with this coat from eBay. It's completely different from my usual style but I am rapidly growing used to it. It is definitely my winter staple. So be daring and go out of your comfort zone, you may love it!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland | Boxing Day Fashion ♡

I took my dog for a long walk on Boxing Day, and loved the outfit I chose so I wanted to share some snaps with you. In the winter, I tend to wear quite dark, neutral colours, and I've been loving the biker, more edgy look. So I have been experimenting with different pieces, trying to find a different style which I'd like. So here is my Boxing Day OOTD:

Shoes: Converse

Top: LaRedoute

Jeans: H&M Divided

Necklace: Etsy

Coat: Ebay
Watch: asos

My Top Music Picks of 2014 ♡

2014 has brought us loads of amazing music to listen to, ranging from musicals to rap to pop. I'd like to say my taste in music is quite varied but this year I've enjoyed listening to Capital FM. So I'm going to share with you the 20 best songs I've heard which has been released in 2014. This list is not in order:

Fashion Capital- The Relaunch ♡

On Thursday 13th November, my dad and I were lucky enough to be invited to the Fashion Capital party, which celebrated the relaunch of their website. However, the evening was also centered around the Fashion Capital and Natwest collaboration for #BetheBest. Over 200 people attended, including an MP, fashion press, budding designers and representatives from fashion businesses.

The aim of the collaboration is to help fashion labels branch out, receive a banking package and be offered advice from industry professionals.

I was immensely impressed with the party and furthermore through seeing how compassionate and hard working the Fashion Capital team are. I felt so welcomed and lucky to be there! Fashion Capital was founded by Jenny Holloway, a true inspiration to anyone hoping to start up their own business. She has worked so hard to build up her own business and it really showed at the party.

Autumn Playlist 2014 ♡

As the seasons have changed, I have altered my music taste and started playing more relaxed, heartfelt songs, as opposed to up-beat summer tracks. None of these songs are particularly new but I have discovered some new and some old favourites. They are perfect for taking some time out, closing your eyes and blocking out the world. Autumn is a time for relaxation and being cosy. So snuggle under a blanket with your hot drink and candles (don't bring these under the blanket!). Here are my favourite Autumn tracks.

A Day In Brighton ♡

One of my favourite places in the UK is Brighton. Having family members live there, I'm no stranger to the wonderful city and recently I took a trip down there and thought I'd share some photos with you. If you're visiting the UK, definitely take a visit there, whether it's to relax on the beach, mooch along the pier or go thrift shopping in the independent vintage shops. The atmosphere is so chilled and it's just such a beautiful place.
