Finally to the stylings of the penultimate Tribute of last season - it's Ferragamo! Love the vibes of this release still, lots of simplicity and minimalism with some bold colours thrown in, really does make for some fun stylings^ I really enjoyed making these ones and think the pieces fit well into my wardrobe. First up, the Leather Cutout Bucket Bag and Green Leather Sock Heels which are fab together, perfect colours for each other. I knew I wanted to add more olive to the look to go with the boots, and these trousers ticked all the boxes. To style something more ready for Spring, this bralette style top was a great fit for colour and style, I'm surprised by how well it goes with these trousers and how much I really like the pairing! Accessorising was easy after that, with the bag being black and brown, these two colours could easily be added, and the belt buckle detail in gold was perfect for the addition of gold earrings. Something quite different for me, but so love how it looks^ Next is the Structured Camel Skirt, which I would say is the piece I found most difficult to style, I was just quite indecisive about it! But I really love this colour mixed with the burgundy and I balanced out both colours through the look quite evenly. Adore these shoes with the skirt especially, so for sure this pairing will be on that's repeated. And then lastly in this first set of looks, the Ferragamo Hug Brown Bag which is just such a great piece. As soon as I put it on I knew I wanted both brown and red to pop in the outfit and a light beige base was perfect for that. I balanced the shoes and top in brown, split by light loose trousers and a coat, and the red sunglasses make the perfect pop to fit with the lining of the bag, such a great detail on the piece^

Next set, it's all about those bolds! First here are the Striped Turtleneck and Brown Patent Leather Pumps together. When I put this top on my immediate thought was 'I need a red skirt with this' - and this sweet flounced miniskirt is the perfect colour match and such a fun style! I kept the accessories more minimal in colour which I think balances well with the striped on the top, the shoes are a great fit and their neutral design makes them work well with a lot of accessories - I particularly love this bag with them and thought it was a fun detail to add. Love this one^ Next here we have the Ochre Shoulder Bag (which was the free item to all with this release) and Orange Pants, and I really like both of these pieces and they're great together as well. I wanted the focus to be on those colours so kept light additions with the clothes. I'm so pleased with these brown flats that I added, a little darker than the bag colour but I think they look great with that mix of brown and orange, plus with the loose design of the trousers. These orange hoop earrings were a must to finish off this style. Such a great Summer outfit, I really love it! And then we have the Transparent Black Ferragamo Sunglasses and Orange Tied Shirt - the co-ord outfit does look good together, but I think the pieces are great on their own and can be really highlights, but these two looks for sure complement each other. These posed trousers in a loose fit are such fun with the shirt, both items are loose in design but still have some element of fit. I also liked that the trousers have black shoes, which pairs with the black button on the shirt, and perfect for black in the accessories, like these glasses. Overall simple additions for a sleek stylish Summer outfit, love it!

And the final trio of looks. I did style the co-ord of the Blue Sleek Jacket and Blue Cigarette Pants together, but these will also look fab separately. Simple but fun with the addition of all of these pearl pieces, I think this bag and belt look great against the pretty blue. I think florals will be fab with this Spring-perfect blue shade. Next up again the Transparent Black Ferragamo Sunglasses, this time with the Black Silk Pants. These trousers really are a fantastic year-round style, the colour and silk texture is versatile and I like the straight leg design, definitely a firm favourite. I ended up putting this look together while styling another one, and found this shirt looked great with the silk texture. With the lovely purple shade I matched in my accessories, love these platform mules and clutch bag with the look, and these glasses also go well with the black outline on the print of the shirt too. A great Autumn look I think! And the final piece, the Sheer Printed Fringed Skirt and I'm so in love with this one! With the brown print on the skirt I knew I wanted a brown top, and this velvet body was such a perfect choice, I love the pairing so much and I think the blue-brown is genius together. With the black of the fringing on the side I could add a few black pieces to the look in the bag and the glasses frames, but also some more blue - the shoes and lenses balance out all 3 colours nicely and I'm so pleased with the outcome of this outfit, love love love =D

Better late than never, but honestly I think time has inspired me with these pieces, I styled almost everything I got and in the end styled 11 looks that I really love with this collection. First up is the Purple Leather Valentino Handbag, in a colour I really don't have any other bags in, so a nice addition to my wardrobe. When looking for something else for another outfit, I spotted this blazer, and what a match these pieces are! I continued with that colour theme throughout and I have so much love for these pieces altogether. The loose trousers are great with the blazer too and their lighter tone really makes the bag pop. Purple accessories to finish off the outfit and I think the balance in colours is just right, love it! Next are the Brown Cat Eye Valentino Sunglasses, Leopard Print Fur Coat and Brown Textured Leather Handbag, which all look great together but will work well separately, for sure this is more an Autumn styling but I still love it, and I'll repeat it after Summer^ With the coat, there's not a lot of room for clothing additions so I stuck with some simple brown pieces which balance the fur cuffs and collar and I think that works well to let that leopard print shine. With the gold V on the bag, I used gold for the accessories, simple shoes along with jewellery makes a really nice finishing touch for this one - simple but effective. And the third look here features the Pleated Lilac Long Skirt which I've ended up wearing as a dress and adore so much! I was originally planning to wear it as a skirt but I wanted to go all out in the lilac and just couldn't find a piece to match the colour perfectly, in the end this perspex floral coat comes up as purple in the closet search, and I was like 'wait a minute' with a lightbulb moment^ I love the volume of the pieces together, it's super fun and it's standout by being a bit on the different side of style. With the black floral print I stuck with black in the accessories and I think it works out nicely, nothing is too heavy or dark so there's not a huge contrast and those pleats and ruffles still stand out! 

Next up, the Gold V Crystal Earrings, Embroidered Flower White Jacket and White Studded Valentino Heels - these pieces are super cute together. I kept it simple, the white clothes base worked well to add the earrings and shoes to, and although the blazer is called white, it's for sure a cream colour, so I added a little of that with the bag, a nice balance for a Spring/Summer styling. Then we have the Jacquared Pattern Buttoned Jacket which I've not seen so many people style, but honestly, it's such a fun piece and I think it has a lot of options - for one, I love what I've come up with so much! I wanted a focus on the gold buttons and the light gold in the print, so chose this light cold skirt and I already loved these gold boots with the skirt too. With the pink ruffle on the collar I did try out some pink shoes, but nothing was quite right, however I did get pink in in the details on this perfect-pairing blue bag, this with the jacket, what a combination! Sunglasses and earrings were easy finishing touches. Love love love this one =D And thirdly here are the Green Cat Eye Valentino Sunglasses, Pale Lace Blouse and White Valentino Minibag - super simple styling, but a stand out for easy and breezy this Spring/Summer. These sunglasses are a great shade of green and they're perfect with the trousers, so this combination will be seen a lot more from me. Green with florals works nicely, and this blouse tucked in perfectly at the waist. With the white on the tulle hem of the sleeves, this was easy to add further in accessories; I really like this one =)

Still many looks to go! Next are the Cherries Gold Earrings, Vlogo Gold Chain Belt, Red Valentino Pants and Black Studded Valentino Heels - again it's another super simple styling, but it's so effective and I think all the pieces really stand out. Of course, these red trousers are stunning and I knew I wanted to wear them with the matching red earrings, and I really liked the skinny belt on the waistband of the trousers too. Black is an easy match with red, and this old Valentino bag is perfection with these shoes, adore the combination and will definitely repeat! Next are the Blue Velvet Cuffed Pants such a fun pair of trousers that I'm yet to see anyone else wear these - they're fab, I highlight recommend^ I went all-in with the velvet and love it, this loose style to the top is nice against the loose fit of the trousers, and for me navy is the perfect colour because I actually have navy velvet accessories! These shoes and the bag were great fits for this look. Super simple up top, I quite like the simplicity of the tank and just added a simple necklace and of course blue glasses which are a great balance of colour in there. Love this one =D And then lastly here, again the Cherries Gold Earrings but this time with the Lace Bow White Blouse, which had to be done after including this red bow bag with the shirt. Those big bows on the shirt just make me want to wear more bows, so these trousers with the giant bow belting worked out perfectly, and the little bag was such a perfect addition too. I mixed the accessories in white and red and I think the colour balance is perfect to highlight the pieces from the release - super smart and for sure a repeater look^

And the last two looks, continuing on the bow theme! First here is the Black Bow Ruffled Dress which while does look good as a co-ord, I think I prefer it on it's own. Super simple and easy to style. I focuses on adding light white pieces to go with the ruffles and sheer panel on the chest of the dress - these white tights are cute and then I chose light fitting accessories to not draw much away from the design of the dress. I think this piece has a lot of options, I just need some more creativity with it =) And last but not least, the Cream Pointelle Collared Cardigan and Black Bow Pants, such sweet items together. I love a print combination and for sure the small size of the two different prints makes them look of together, and I love the contrasting alternating colours between the two. Accessorising was a little tricky in deciding which colours to highlight where but I think I've got a nice selection of pieces at the end - love this sheeny cream bag, it pops against the trousers, and I stuck with neutral shoes with a little fun in the glasses^
