Style Trunk

This week I'm lusting after this stand collar top from Cos. I love the minimal boxy shape and colour and the unusual colour gives it a 1960s vibe...and at £69 it ain't too pricey!

Top: Zara

 Bag chain worn as necklace: Whistles

Scarf worn as skirt: Gift

Sunglasses: Primark

Sandals: c/o Barratts

Good evening lovely readers! I don't know about you but I am fully taking advantage of the last days of summer. Although I love A/W fashion and am looking forward to getting my chunky knits and boots back on, you can't beat a balmy sunny evening and it really does make you stop and smell the roses (ha! I'm such a cheeseball)

The lovely peeps at Barratts sent me these sandals...good job too as my trusty Asos ones that I've been wearing to death all summer have pretty much fallen apart! I love the gold metal detailing on these sandals and the sole is slightly cushioned making them nice and comfy.

This week I'm lusting after this leather rucksack from Zara. The leather looks so soft and buttery and the size looks enough to fit in all my essentials but not too big that I'll annoy other passengers on the tube when wearing it. 

Hat: River Island

Shirt: Zara

Skirt: Asos

Heels: Asos

Evening all! I bought this hat in the River Island sale - I like that it's an alternative to the usual summer straw hats but my boyfriend's reaction? 'You look like a jockey'. What do you think? Am I the only one who has love for this hat?

As for the rest of the outfit, I like the idea of teaming a gold sequin skirt and heels with this casual utilitarian shirt, and the gold buttons on the shoulders tie in nicely!

Shirt: The Kooples

Skirt: Zara

Shoes: New Look

Quite a preppy look on the blog today; while I'm a big fan of blouses I don't wear shirts that often but I fell in love with the collar on this shirt from The Kooples, and rolled up sleeves and a messy tuck-in keeps it relaxed.
