Autumn picks from Zara

It's officially Autumn and even though I won't be wearing warmer clothes until January I can't stop myself at looking at cosy jumpers and big warm coats. Autumn is such a wonderful season and I'm sure many people are excited to layer up too... These are the piece that I have spotted at Zara that gives me Autumn vibes.

How to dress down a suit

Who always loved the idea of a two-piece power suit? I adore the look of a coordinated look and it's easy to look smart but difficult to dress it down. Here are my ideas to make it 'smart but casual'.

How to style a long dress

Ever felt like your dress needs a little something extra? I recently wore a long white maxi dress and I was inspired to create this little edit of how I wore it. 

AUTUMN/WINTER OUTFIT INSPIRATION

Can you tell I am obsessed with this beautiful yellow colour? I am actually really excited to start layering up especially since I'm going back to the UK for 5 days for my sister's graduation. We know that England is getting really cold and I'm all for chunky knits. 

BLUSH TONES

Happy Friday guys! How have you all been? I've finally booked my tickets to go to Hong Kong in June and I am seriously so excited now, my best friend who lives in Hong Kong wants to go to Thailand while I am there, so there may be 2 holidays in 1. I'm still in the process of clearing out my wardrobe and I am now currently going through my shoes. My clothes will be next. I will be putting loads of things on depop 'klau93' so please give some of my things a new home and also on my eBay account here.

SPRING HOLIDAY PICKS

Hope your enjoying you Friday so far and are looking forward to the weekend, I'm very excited to see Beauty and The Beast and go through my wardrobe. But back to the post, I'm sure we are all ready to book some holidays up and have a little getaway, I have been planning some trips and I've been on the look out for some Spring/Summer items and these that have caught my eye so far.

DUSKY REDS

New Year, new coat right? Welcome to my latest new addition that I adore so much! It's such a beautiful and clean cut coat. With the lapels and a grey denim shirt, I definitely felt I was ready to rule the world. (Just kidding!)

THE GREEN BOMBER

We all have one of those days where we just want to look casual and put something on quickly  - these were one of those moments where I was living in this Zara Bomber Jacket. I've been very late to the bomber jacket trend - that's because I did not want to fall into the hype, but who are we kidding we all eventually give into the hype and to be honest I love my bomber jacket for moments that are supposed to be casual like this.

YELLOW AUTUMN

What a cold day, I've been ill recently - I've been constantly tweeting how miserable I am over on twitter so send me some love since I still have the sniffles and sound like I'm wearing a Darth Vader mask. While I have a face mask on (haha) I thought I might as well make this blog post with the photos that I took today. Let me tell you it's freezing, my room is arctic and I am sitting in my onesie.

LAST OF THE LAST

Who's ready for Autumn? I'm sure it's going to be one of the last times that I will be showing off the shoulders. I'm preparing to bring out the fluffy socks as I type since my room is very cold. It definitely has been a long summer for me - I've been to Hong Kong for a wedding in May and went to South Korea in June and it's been ones of my best holidays yet. I can't wait for next summer so I'm going to say goodbye to Summer now since most of us are very excited for autumn. ( I'm thinking off all the Halloween candies although I don't like Halloween since I am a scaredy cat and don't like dressing up.)

JUST A HINT

It's been one of those weeks where I feel like nothing is going right. I still have conjunctivitis, I fell over at work and had an episode with my cardholder that I thought I lost. Anyways I hope the weekend will be an exciting one!

THE STROLL

ZARA JACKET | MISSGUIDED WRAP TOP | ASOS JEANS | ADIDAS STAN SMITH | QUAY AUSTRALIA SUNGLASSES

 Photo taking 101 -always finish the soft mint that you were scrumptiously chewing through, I can't count how many funny facials expression I pulled and I had to cut from this shoot. I wore this outfit on a extremely beautiful lazy Sunday in Huddersfield which started with a full English breakfast and ended with a Mexican takeaway - talk about binge eating. 

STRIPE STREAK

ZARA TOP | NEW LOOK CULOTTES | TOPSHOP SANDALS

I start off all my posts saying 'I'm in love', so yet again I am in love, otherwise it wouldn't be in my wardrobe. This is a very unique off shoulder piece that sports an eye-catching and different design. The bold colour blocks has contrasting colours and ruffle sleeves that gives that bouncy and dimensional effect. The top is definitely an acquired taste, some of you guys might hate it, but I am loving this yellow mustard shade that is happening right now. Once again, this was sold out in-stores and online for a couple and weeks, which I then stumbled upon on Depop.

STRIPE CULOTTES AND LEATHER

ZARA JACKET | NEW LOOK CAMI | RIVER ISLAND CULOTTES | ZARA SANDALS | QUAY AUSTRALIA SUNGLASSES

Holla to the sun! I think it's starting to get a bit warmer in the day time. I mentioned in my Yellow Love post that I wanted to style my yellow leather jacket with some culottes for a summery vibe and here it is. I have been looking for a black culotte jumpsuit to wear with the jacket - I still haven't found the ideal one yet, but I picked up these stripe culottes from River Island. The quality of these are amazing and sits higher on the waist, so if I were wanting to wear this with a crop that can be done.

YELLOW LOVE

ZARA LEATHER JACKET | REPLAY SHIRT | ASOS RIDLEY JEANS | SENSO QIMAT BOOTIES

I fell in love ...... with another jacket, this bright number caught my eye 2 weeks ago in my local Zara unfortunately my size was not available and was not launched on-line yet. But now I have it in my hands, I can not wait to wear it out when the weather is a bit more reasonable. We've started getting sunshine so I was rocking my sunglasses and then grey clouds appeared and it then snowed - so I did feel a bit silly walking in the snow with my sunglasses on my head.

THE WARDROBE EDIT #7

Welcome to THE WARDROBE EDIT relating to new additions in my wardrobe.

Another month has past therefore it's time to see what I have accumulated and bought over the last month. The Wardrobe Edit #1 is available to read here, Edit #2 here, Edit #3 here, Edit #4 here, Edit #5 here and Edit #6 here.

It felt like forever until we all actually got paid in January right? I have been holding off spending too much as I am to go away this year. These items that I picked out are for my holiday and summer wardrobe which I hunted down.

BRING THE 70'S

ZARA EMBROIDERED TOP | ASOS UTILITY SKIRT | MANGO SUEDE BIKER JACKET | NEW LOOK BOOTS

I have been channelling my inner 70's recently, I eyed this beautiful embroidered top from Zara back in November and when it went into the sale, it was a destined piece. Your 70's are this Spring/Summer staples which are about crop tops, off shoulder pieces, fringe jackets, crochet, tapestry, suede and colours such as coppers and reds. So get looking for items to add in your Spring/Summer wardrobe. 

SUMMER PRINT VIBES

Let's start off with: Why are my legs soo pale compared to my body ?!- you can obviously tell I'm a Pants/Jeans/Trousers person, the legs just never see the sunlight. Getting back to the outfit, it was extremely sunny, therefore a summer look must be done. I pulled out my most amazing and favourite shorts in my wardrobe. You've probably guessed it, It's from ZARA.

WHAT'S IN MY BAG | ZARA SHOPPER

If you've recently seen my latest fashion blog post, I've dug out my Zara Shopper bag, which I bought last year, while I will still in my 3rd at university - that seems like a while ago now :( , It was great for holding my massive 15" laptop and fitting all my A4 notepads in. Emptying it out now to do this post I feel a bit like Mary Poppins.
