OOTD/ Brighten up your basics

No Comments »

It's really easy to forget about the brights trend this season and go for trends that are easy to pull off. A lot of people are scared bright colours, but it's actually really easy to apply to your wardrobe.

To show you how easy it is, have a look at our OOTD!






We took a simple pair of blue denim jeans and a basic white tee and turned it into a chic bright outfit. Pair you basic outfit with a jacket or coat. We went for a nude relaxed drape coat from River Island. It's thin, so you're not goign to boil up if the sun decides to make an appearance. Nude is a classic colour that never ages. It's our go to item to style up any outfit. Add a pair of light coloured heels. We went for a dusky pink. You could wear a bright pair, but we want the accessories to do the talking, so kept it quite subtle. 

Now this is the bit where you can go crazy with your colour. The Jewel Cluster Earrings are perfect this look, combing bright hues with pastel shades. They're a real statement, so make sure you wear your hair off your face to get the most effect. We teamed these beauties with the sleek Mint Geometric Collar just to lift that white tee. 

Finish your look with a bright lipstick. We matched the shade of pink to the cluster earrings just to tie in with the outfit.

It's that simple. If you keep the outfit simple, you can up the anti on the jewellery and look chic even in bright tones.

OOTD// Blinged up basics

No Comments »





For as long as time, diamonds have been a girls best friend and nothing has changed. Over the last couple of seasons, we have been blinging up lapels, collars and heels for a bit of extra sparkle. However this is all going to change for SS15. This season, it's going to be about pairing extravagant heirloom style jewels with worn out tees and military shirts. That slouchy knitted jumper you've been wearing all winter or the over sized shirt you've worn over and over are perfect canvases to add a wave of glamour and elegance to your everyday routine. 




The idea is to look chic with a twist of glamour and freshness. Keep your ensemble simple. We've gone for a worn out gray tee with slouchy denims roll up jeans both from Topshop. To avoid the student hipster look, pair it with a pair of killer stilettos, giving a hint of elegance to your look. This clutch purse is perfect for an outfit like this; the neutral tones work well with the decorative jewellery and keeps it simple so that the main focus can be the jewels. The basic tee screams for some frosting, so we've gone for our beautiful launched only this week Aisha Statement Jewel Necklace. The jewels are light and fresh, perfect for day wear. The Heidi Pastel Jewel Bracelet works perfectly with the Aisha as the embellishment is similar light hues, but the leather cuff brings a day-wear feel to it. If you're an earring kind of girl, then go for something extravagant like our Aisha Statement Jewel Earrings. The classic tones worth beautifully with any basic ensemble. Finish with a slick application of a nude lippy to complete your blinged up basic look!
