The New 60's.....

TIP...I wanted to make the 60's slightly less literal so took these printed trousers and wore with a loose blazer and a pyjama shaped cotton shirt (my favourite summer shape) the oversized round sunnies add to the 60's touch but go bigger for a more modern take on the circular frame trend

TIP...high waisted shorts and a button up blouse give the 60's a more preppy edge I love the bright colour of the shorts and I would wear flats when you have shorts during the day I love the nude leather as it means you don't focus on the shoes and then the straps round the ankles don't cut your leg at the ankle

sunglasses as before

TIP...a shift dress is a great 60's shape and the print adds to this trend in a literal sense but I have added my cowboy boots for a cooler and more modern approach to this outfit

Summer Coats.....

TIP...go for pastels and pick a great silhouette shape in a cool colour like green and wear with another pastel like this gorgeous lemon jumpsuit add a heel and a fun pair of sunnies to compliment the colour of the coat the 3/4 length always works well with a jumpsuit

TIP...I love this pale blue take of a trench its a looser fit to a normal trench so keep the outfit loose and laid back and layer a jumper over a soft dress throw the coat on with a pair of heels in the same colour

TIP...I love the faded square print of these jeans but have livened it up with a bright yellow coat and matching shirt a kooky take on a minimalist shape coat as the collar of the shirt can act at a collar to the coat wear with colourful high top trainers

paris last day!

TIP...although I have worn this outfit before I have added a loose silk blouse and left it undone to act like a cardigan but is less bulky and more glamourous

Milan Fashion Week Day 5.....

TIP...grunge up a neon dress and wear with a big jumper and heavy boots and the beeny hat give it the 90's twist but if you want to wear a coat why not try a big black loosely shaped overcoat, let the neon do the talking
