Creature of Comfort

Sorry I've been missing in action this week - my laptop had an update that it *really* didn't like and I've been flat on my back unwell! I open up my game, realise that I've been wearing pyjamas for like a week, then close it again, hypocrite that I am.

In reflection of my grumpy, uncomfortable mood, I've styled up an easy, comfortable look for my doll to sink herself into - a big teddy bear coat and slouchy....well everything for snuggling up next to the fire and eating all the chocolate in the house.

Miu Miu Inspired Glasses # W E S T Y L E I T

We really loved the Miu Miu Inspired Glasses from the latest Antidote collection so had to style them up together! Miloshki has gone for a cool boho vibe, I love the colour of this shawl piece with the glasses, super cute together. And I think the shape of the lens work really nicely against a floral print, it's something which gives so many outfit options for sure^ I've also used more blue in my look, and I've made this Summery maxi dress work in the cold weather with a lot of layering, all because the colour was just right! Love these scarf booties with the look too, I really should style them more =D

Powder Room Blue

The Basics release, what a treat. I bought every coat, but this smokey blue is my favourite.

My original styling was a lot softer - the chiffon shirt with a feminine skirt and pearls. That's completely valid but I think this colour is best when it's styled with punchy reds for a bit of a WAKE UP. These MSW trousers are the perfect find - a great shade and shape.

A N T I D O T E | Styled By You / / Styled By Me

We recently had a new drop of Antidote! It's been a little while since an Antidote release, while I adored the last one, this one was more of a 'miss' for me, the styles aren't so much my thing this time around. You guys liked this one though, so first up a couple of features. This look is from Jacquemus styling up the Stripe Jacket which I think looks super cool, especially layered with the cool handkerchief-style hemlines and the printing on the skirt-turned dress. Love the perspex heels, and the orange bag adds the perfect amount of colour to the styling =D 

In the next look Opioides styles both the Net Dress and the Miu Miu Inspired Glasses with a retro touch. I love the fluffy lilac coat, the style really works for the dress and the matching tights are kind of everything^ The white boots make the perfect finishing touch =D The accessories are great all round, really love the inclusion of the glasses too.

I was very much attracted to the orange outfit in the middle of the store, so I bought both pieces! First up the Orange Top which is a super cute piece, I like the simple wrap design to it. I debated a long time whether to tuck or not to tuck, but then you loose the hem detail, so left untucked this time with these darker orange trousers, you really might as well go all out when you can! And continued with the orange in the accessories, I really like it^ And then the Sparkly Orange Trousers which I just love! I didn't mean to cover them up so much with the coat, but I'd say this is a pretty realistic way to wear a piece like this without it being too much in your face with colour or sparkle. I stuck with white for the shirt, shoes and bag, which I think balances nicely with the dark overcoat and the brightness of the trousers =D

Greige

I honestly thought this was a misspelling on the label of these boots, but it turns out Greige is a thing...

It's a neat little compound work for grey-beige, which is a fabulous neutral colour for autumn, especially if you're more of a cool-tone person. While I love tan with blue, I think greige has a sophistication that is harmonious rather than contrasting. 

I'm ignoring that this coat is supposed to be black - I much prefer the idea of it as this kind of muddy puddle shade instead!

H O T B U Y S R E V I S I T E D | October 2018

I say this every time, I can't believe it's been a whole year since this set of Hotbuys! I was all about the accessories with this release, the clothes weren't (and still aren't) so much my style and actually I've really liked everything that I got from this release and use them often, which is great =) For this post I'm revisiting the bags, the Fendi Inspired Handbag and the YSL Inspired Box Bag, both great pieces and perfect tones for autumnal stylings:

Ok so while my first look is a little less Autumnal with the inclusion of sandals, I really love this styling for the cool combination of colours! The bag has such cute blue detailing, so I love playing with that, and this blazer is pretty perfect fit for that. The nude base of top and trousers is great for many different colours, so both the blue and browns work out really nicely - I love this combination! A little more Autumnal for the second look but sticking with the browns, this bag is really great with that as it still manages to be a focal point despite the heavy overcoat! I contrasted that with this delicate lace jumpsuit, I really like how this combination has worked out, totally different for me but something I really think looks great =D
