Today I went little mad for plaid. The holiday season tends to make me do that. I spotted this J. Crew blouse on a fellow bloggers site that I admire and immediately fell in love. I wasn't sure if it would be too masculine for me with my short hair, but as it turns out, J. Crew blouses fit me too a T. They seem to be fitted enough therefore it doesn't look like I am wearing a man's shirt. I was still questioning the blouse until I also spotted these gorgeous statement earrings from Talbots. They are the perfect accessory to feminize my look!

Hey guys, I'm finally back to blogging after a long hiatus. It wasn't my intention to have a break for this long, but sometimes life happens and something has to give. I'm so grateful for you guys for sticking around!
This year has been somewhat of a roller coaster and I'm only starting to feel like my feet are firmly back on the ground. I'm looking forward to getting back to doing the things I enjoy the most, one of those things being blogging and I hope you guys stick around for the ride :-)
Even though it was a bit windy today, I was so excited to get out and take photos of my outfit today. I stopped blogging in Summer and now all of a sudden its autumn, so I'm going to make the most out of dressing for this season even though I'm a spring/summer lover through and through.
This burgundy fit screams fall wear. I saw this skirt while browsing Forever21 and feel in love with length, the pocket detail and side split, might I add I found this skirt to be too mature for Forever21, But to my surprise they have been killing it lately, I recommend giving their website a look!
Hey guys, I hope your all well. I wore this outfit on Monday to celebrate me and my boo's anniversary. We went to probably the most visually appealing restaurant I have been to, Shaka Zulu in Camden. Although I love how the restaurants looks I think the food is quite average.
As I was still a bit sick I wanted to dress warm and comfy but still look dressy. I wore pretty basic trousers and a vest top, but my floral bomber jacket gave the outfit more life. I have actually been looking for a girly bomber jacket for a while, so this one came right on time.
This year I've teamed up with vintage brand Beyond Retro to help spread charitable, (and festive), love in conjunction with Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day. Beyond Retro have pledged to sell 10,000 Christmas jumpers in the lead up to the big day and will be donating £1 from each sale to Save the Children.
To support them in their generous endeavor simply head over to Beyond Retro, (online or in-store), and purchase yourself a snuggly, possibly ugly, festive knit to sport this Christmas Jumper Day. Beyond Retro actually have a pop-up store at Old Street station at the moment which is dedicated entirely to Christmas jumpers, so perhaps you could even treat yourself to a visit there when searching for your new wooly friend! Once in your knit, be sure to enter their #xmasjumperstylechallenge, where you could win a £250 shopping spree! All you need to do is make sure you're following Beyond Retro on Twitter and Instagram then snap yourself in your new Christmas jumper alongside the hashtag above!
Last weekend I got into the Christmas spirit perhaps a little early and wore my new festive jumper into central where I had a wonder down Carnaby Street, which is looking super pretty at the moment with all of it's lights up. I also treated myself to a magazine haul from one of the fabulous magazine shops hidden in London's trendy Soho! Just a tip about Soho, there's a great cocktail bar called Zebrano, which has happy hour till 10pm most evenings;)
Hello! It's been a while since I last blogged but the time feels right to give this another shot, so here goes! I guess I should start with a quick update; over the summer i went freelance as a stylist. I've tried in-house a few times but I always seem to end up back here. I really love the freedom, opportunity and unexpected nature that comes with working for myself, it keeps me on my toes, forces me outside of comfort zones and makes me try harder than I've ever tried before. I do love a challenge. So for now this seems like the right thing for me - It's all very exciting and I'll definitely be keeping you updated on all of that side of things here on FYS.
As I'm sure you've already seen on Instagram I also had a hair cut over the Summer, just before visiting Gothenburg for Way Out West Festival, which was amazing by the way. I loved Sweden so much that I returned for my Birthday weekend, this time to Stockholm, which is where all of these photographs were taken! Back to image related stuff for a second though, I've stopped wearing so much makeup all of the time. My average day involves hours spent on my knees or running around like an idiot in (quite often) sweaty studios. What's the point? This also restricts what I wear, which is actually great cos I feel I'm finally getting a grasp on my own personal style... what works for me and what doesn't. Although I love lots of different styles and trends, most of them I just want to work with, not wear myself.
Another recent life development is the new laptop that I'm currently working from. Last weekend, after months of sharing Matt's laptop, (nightmare), I finally bought my own shiny new Macbook Pro. Having this beauty in my hands was the perfect reason to get back into the blogging game, it would have been rude not to. I hope you also like this new layout, I think it's a lot more user friendly for you guys and also a lot more "me"!
I went on Missguided to buy 3 items and ended up with a big wishlist of more things I now want to buy (my wallet needs a padlock..sigh) I'm loving their A/W collection right now. I obviously had to buy the baby pink latex skirt that was sold out instantly in Topshop. I'm lusting over the black and white fur jacket it's such a statement piece and looks super cosy.
With all the bright colors in the fashion world this season, go figure I pick out something neutral. To tell you the truth, it all started with this tassel necklace from Talbots that I am wearing.....
I love anything to do with tassels right now. I think it's the vintage vibe that they give off.

Actually, you could blame the purchase of this entire look on these fabulous 80's vintage Egyptian style earrings from The Canny Canary. They totally gave this look LIFE! There is only one pair available. Gotta love unique vintage jewels! Find them at The Canny Canary by clicking HERE or on the photo of them below:
