Styling a lagenlook tunic dress

Styling a lagenlook navy blue tunic dress

Spring is not the friend of the fashion blogger. One minute it’s snowing, and the next it’s like the middle of summer, and the minute we post an outfit shoot in one of those conditions, it will have completely changed again! I have my fingers crossed a little that we’ll have another burst of snow so that all the photos we took that weekend in February won’t look out of place!

Styling a khaki jumper and mini rara skirt for winter

February 26, 2019

Forever 21 seems to be very hit or miss as to its quality of clothing. Considering it’s remarkably cheap prices, you wouldn’t expect much, but on this trip to America, I found it to be quite impressive.

Styling the Joe Browns Mix It Up tunic

February 18, 2019

This particular style of tunic has been a welcome return in the Joe Brown’s catalogue for years and years. They change the colours and they change the fabrics slightly, but the style is the same, and I love it! I also own this tunic in dark red, but for this blog post, I thought I’d show you how I wore my black and grey one….

You need a different coat for different occasions and different types of outfit don’t you? You do, don’t you?! So I refuse to feel guilty about the fact that I have purchased THREE new coats this winter!!

How to style Lagenlook clothing

January 18, 2019

Winter is the perfect time of year to experiment with Lagenlook, as in this weather, layering is what we have to do anyway! For this outfit I wore a loose-fitting long-sleeved top underneath, then a pinafore type dress and then a waterfall cardigan.

A 1970’s Vintage-style dress

December 11, 2018

I’ll be honest, I totally forgot about this photo-shoot we did back at the end of summer! What with our month in America and week in the Canary Islands, I’m afraid I’m a bit all over the place! I bought this ditsy floral dress from Zara back in the January sales and I’d been saving it for autumn as the colours and pattern are just perfect….

The Perfect Purple Winter Coat

December 4, 2018

I didn’t know I actually needed a purple coat until I found one. As I mentioned before though, it was the whole reason for my Joe Browns order a few weeks ago, and I’ve hardly stopped wearing it since it arrived! Although it definitely is purple, it isn’t in-your-face purple, and surprisingly, the colour goes with pretty much everything I own!

When Chris and I have a trip to Connecticut for his work, we always make the best of the weekends by going exploring. And I make the best of going exploring by making sure we get the outfit posts for the blog at the same time! This was a little visit to Indian Well State Park….

November 20, 2018

Although it was the heaviest item of clothing in the suitcase, which was straining past the 20kg limit, I couldn’t travel to America without this new grey dress I recently bought from Joe Browns, I absolutely love it! And then, during our month in Connecticut we had the opportunity for a brief weekend trip to Boston, Massatusetts, so we thought we’d use make the most of the New England fall colours to take outfit photos for the blog….
