Beady Eye - Amy

Bracelet c/o Troll Beads - Silver Bangle, Black and White Bead, Pearl Bead, Black and White Bead

Zara Linen Top, Zara Faux Leather Skirt, Boohoo Black Hat, Daniel Footwear Suede Boots














When it comes to jewellery, I can be pretty picky. Less is definitely more for me and I am possibly the only 20-something that has no idea what I'd expect from an engagement ring so when we were contacted by the gorgeous ladies at Trollbeads, I was really excited to try something a bit different - and what a place to start! 

With so much choice, I felt like I wanted to choose something that was really me, the perfect wrist accompaniment to my every day. Sifting through the endless beads was made beautifully easy by the step by step guidance and even more so by the grouped collections of beads. I opted for the bangle template due to it's slick and simple design, much less fussy than a chain and was particularly drawn to this collection of beads.

I can't help but rely on monochrome outfits for my every day wardrobe and with staples as perfect as this linen top and faux leather skirt it's hard to steer away! The lace detail and texture mixing create the perfect amount of interest in an overwhelmingly simple outfit, just like my bangle.

London Fashion Week AW15 - Day 2

Amy - Camel Sleeveless Coat c/o Missguided, Green Blazer c/o Dorothy Perkins, Topshop Pleat Bib Shirt, River Island Trousers, Ray Ban Glasses c/o Red Hot Sunglasses, Boohoo Clutch Bag, Topshop Unique Loafers

Naomi - Khloe Coat c/o Missguided, Velvet Cave Snakeskin Waistcoat, H&M Roll Neck, River Island Shorts, Asos Green Hat, Chloe Sunglasses c/o Red Hot Sunglasses, Mango Star Clutch Bag, Snakeskin Boots c/o Daniel Footwear


















For Day 2 at London Fashion Week, we based our outfits around this amazing River Island abstract print. Being bright and appealing to both our personal styles, there was lots of colours and key pieces to play around with. We both rocked our Missguided Khloe coats and then gave our own twists with the rest of the looks - Amy going for a tailored blouse and blazer whilst Naomi went for clashing stars and snakeskin,

Quite a quiet day on the cobbles for us kicking off the day at Orla Kiely (potential favourite!) and then Hemcya, Sibling and Danielle Romeril Presentation.

Glitter In The Air - Amy

Day Look - Sequin Dress c/o Motel, Asos Camel Shirt, Topshop Camo Tee, Boohoo Fedora, Silver Service Necklace, Topshop Magnum Boots

Night Look - Sequin Dress c/o Motel, Tosphop Frilly Jumper, New Look White Shirt, Primark Clutch, Daniel Footwear Heels















Say it after me, 'Sequins are for life, not just for Christmas'. The ever-wonderful ladies at Motel set us the task of bringing sequins into our new season wardrobes in our latest style challenge. We decided to go for a day look and a night look to show you just how versatile sequins can actually be, and let's face it, January is so dull and gloomy, we could all do with a little glitz to lift our spirits!

I am getting a little too obsessed with the military trend that's doing the rounds at the moment (check back wednesday and thurs for more!) but I thought this was a nice way to toughen up this sequin dress for the day time. The camo tee underneath turns the low v neck into a more wearble day option and the shirt belted over the top gives a tomboyish feel without losing a feminine figure.

Of course this super sexy dress can do all the talking on a night out, but if, like me, you're a little self conscious and not stupid enough to go out in the British arctic conditions without a few layers, this dress can be worn as a cute skirt with the same glittery impact. This statement jumper (one of those beauts that's been in your Save For Later list that magically goes into sale!) provides all the jazz and warmth you could need but I had to add a collar for comfort needs.

How are you wearing your sequins this spring? Check out Motel's selection here!

Figure Of 8 - Amy

Zara Herringbone Coat, Graffiti Floral Top c/o Another 8, Pink Culottes c/o Another 8, Boohoo Clutch, Topshop Magnum Boots











New season collections are coming thick and fast and one of my favourite brands have got it spot on again. Another 8 London were one of my great finds of 2014 and their urban East London designs are always exciting and yet so easy to wear day-to-day, exactly how I like my fashion.

Another 8's graffiti floral print has that hint of Henry Holland but with a much more modern edge to it. I am loving anything bright at the moment to cheer up dreary January but keeping it parred down with pastels and a longline tailored boyfriend coat (which I managed to bag insanely cheap on ebay!) This is pretty much my go to outfit template for the upcoming transitional period!
