#TodayImWearing Men's Jeans and Monks


Today we took a stroll down Brick Lane in London, where you can find the most amazing vintage pieces and market finds! Not only are the quaint vintage stores interesting and different, but the walls along the street are super interesting; decorated with graffiti, doodles and arty masterpieces. I could not get enough of the amazing street art! It was such an interesting juxtaposition of graffiti on historic brick walls.

So my choice of  outfit tended towards androgynous with my men's jeans and buckled monks. I added some interest with my long leopard coat.

#FinallyFound Valentino Inspired Shoes


How AMAZING are these Valentino shoes? I cannot get over how much I am in love!! They are just the perfect accessory to take a look from casual to chic. Their signature studded straps and patent leather pointed toes will add a chic edge to any outfit.


But until I can afford some of these beauties, I have settled with some black suede Valentino-inspired pumps I recently bought from Mr Price. 


They are super cute and chic. I dressed them with some ripped denims and a polka dot blouse. To keep the edgy element that my new shoes ooze, I added a black leather cropped biker jacket.

#GetTheLook Vintage Biker

I love to mix textures and trends in my outfits, so today I mixed grungy leather, feminine lace and denim into a look which I have dubbed "Vintage Biker". This look pairs short high-waisted denim shorts with a leather biker jacket and chunky boots. Add some lace for a feminine touch.

I am addicted to Pinterest, and I get a lot of inspiration for my daily outfits from Pinterest. Here are some of my pins that show off the "Vintage Biker" look.

#TodayImWearing Studs and Animal Print

Since the sun is shining, and spring has [finally] arrived, I decided to wear my studded denim cut-offs today. I paired them with a loose fitting grey blouse and chunky buckled boots. I am LOVING animal print at the moment, so I added a touch of leopard with a skinny belt. Since the cut-offs are embellished with silver studs, I didn't want to overpower the look with too much animal print as well. 
I mean...

Excessive studs + animal print overload = hooker style

I did the studs and animal print combo the classy and fashionable way.

#TodayImWearing Tailored Grunge

For my outfit today, I paired my ripped charcoal jeans with a cream blazer.I like the contrast of the grungy denim with a tailored jacket. I added my gold rimmed sunglasses, some gold arm candy and my leopard print booties for a pop of gold.

#TodayImWearing Grunge

Today I went grungy with a cropped tee, black leather belt and black ankle boots. I paired my grungy items with a pale pink lace skirt that I sewed, to soften my outfit. A tuxedo jacket smartens up my look, and the parka adds some cool factor. Finally, I piled on a bunch of rings to accessorise my look!
