The Monochrome Midi

Chasing Kate by St Frock Heather Skirt, French Connection Sheer Top (similar style here), Jo Mercer Jagger Heels, Swarovski Necklace (similar style here), Fossil Bevel Glitz Bangle, Fossil Rondel Wire Bracelet, Prouds Rose Gold Studs (similar style here).

Some pieces you come across are meant for a special occasion. These said pieces have a certain element, a statement if you will that simply says, yes I’m fabulous! And this full circle, monochrome floral St Frock skirt is one of them.

There’s something so very feminine about the midi length and I find it compliments just about any stature. Don’t believe me? Well, I’m a petite 163cm fashionista, lacking long pins, who still finds herself strutting in this gorgeous length. Embrace the longer hemline and you’ll never look back!

I’m pairing this monochrome print back with a simple, sheer blouse to keep the focus on this gorgeous midi. Of course I cannot resist a little sparkle seen in my favourite metal, rose gold. An understated black stiletto, keeps within the timeless nature of this look, making an otherwise perfect outfit for a dinner date. Bon appétit mon cheri!

Skater Girl!

St Frock After Dark Dress, Jo Mercer Alona Croc Boots, Swarovski Earrings (similar style here).

I’m feeling particularly playful in my new St Frock skater dress, though I’ll leave the 360 Flip to the professionals!

This aztec print is a new one for me, but I’m loving the depth of this pattern, which is enhanced by a monochrome colour palette. I don’t know about you, but I associate this print with a festival inspired getup, so fittingly I opt for an ankle boot to rock my way through this grungy shoot!

Originally I thought a quirky top knot would be my hairstyle of choice to show off the high neckline, but a soft curl really suits the casual nature of this look.

I’m keeping the accessories to a minimum with the exception of this Swarovski drop earrings, (although they are barely visible under my blonde mane), as I really want this print to do the talking. Because let’s be honest, a bold dress speaks volumes!

Fierce in the Forest

Country Road Skirt, Country Road Grid Print Shirt, St Frock Lioness Time Square Coat (similar style here), Royal Aquamarine McQueen Sunglasses in Monochrome Marble, Wittner Avril Heels, Prouds Rose Gold Studs (similar style here).

It’s not everyday I find myself in a secluded woodland haven, with a little bridge leading to greener pastures, so I’ll happily embrace a more ethereal spirit.

When exploring into the forest, one should definitely find herself wrapped up in a warm coat, especially if she’s likely to find herself covered in clover, whilst in a blissful slumber, upon a mossy garden bed. This draped collar coat from St Frock makes the perfect choice, creating a relaxed “model off duty” vibe.

Layering with complimentary grey tones, I’m teaming this warm grey coat with a cool grey base seen with a Country Road midi skirt. A little pop of monochrome print, keeps this look colour consistent and chic, a lovely juxtaposition to my earthy surrounds.

Now in search of a rabbit hole! x

The Hepburn

Witchery Bold Stripe Wrap Dress, Skin Hot Loving Heels, Royal Aquamarine Hepburn Sunglasses, Swarovski Arrive Earrings, Fossil Bevel Glitz Bangle, Michael Kors Blair Pave Rose Gold Watch.

If history taught us anything, it’s that trends are fleeting, but the classics are forever! When it comes to timeless style, there’s one particular name that instantly springs to mind- Audrey Hepburn. Queen of the silver screen, Audrey revolutionised the fashion world with her classic LBD, statement pearls and sophisticated cigarette holder. I’m taking a leaf out of Audrey’s stylish book and bringing back the classics, one stiletto at a time.

I’m loving the simplicity of this monochrome wrap dress as it offers a practical but flattering shape, perfect for the office, or a casual stroll across the seaside with a leading man.Teaming with a pair of monochrome block heels, I’m adding a touch of interest material to the mix, creating a delightful print clash because I’m all about the drama!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a tribute to Audrey without a fabulous pair of frames and these Royal Aquamarine Hepburn Sunglasses are totally fitting. Remember ladies, I’ve got a 20% discount off your next Royal Aquamarine purchase – use the codeword ‘TBSROYAL’ at checkout. Looking glam!
