Ready For Dinner, Dressed For Bed: Why The Pyjama Trend Is The Perfect One

Outfit: Pyjamas - Custom / Heels - Tony Bianco / Bag - Aldo

If there's a style for me that will never die out, that will be in my wardrobe forever, it would be the pyjama trend. There's something utterly comforting about being able to wear fancy silk pyjamas out of my house. 

If you've been following me for a while, you will know that comfort is key for me and what's more comfortable than pyjamas? Nothing. What's more, the pyjamas I'm talking about are those classic piped ones. The epitome of boujee pyjamas are silk piped ones and over the years they have become more than a statement for the bedroom, but for the streets too. 

I don't believe its possible to class up any other style of pyjama enough that you could wear it for dinner. I mean you could, but it wouldn't be as effortless as doing so with silk pyjamas.

This particular style is one that I have been wearing for years and I've never shied away from. Recently, I've decided to tailor more of these sets for my wardrobe in various colours because if there's anything I strive for in my clothing, it's comfort. I would rather be utterly comfortable than be restricted and anxious the whole time I'm wearing an outfit. 

Pyjamas for me are one of those easy outfits for when I'm feeling either my best or worst. I could wear them casual with sneakers or dress them up with heels. For me, there's nothing more too it than that because you have an outfit put together so easily. 

Yesterday when Mum decided she wanted to take us for a surprise dinner, it took less than a minute to decide what to wear - I instantly was going for a pyjama set. They feel wonderful to be in and still look elegant. 

I wore this chocolate brown pair with a light pink trim, which I hadn't worn yet but since we had them made I've been dying to find an occasion for them. Paired with my classic Tony Bianco mules and Aldo bag, it was the easiest outfit that made me feel good. 

With Christmas round the corner, I think pyjamas are the perfect choice for any smart-casual event. Wearing a festive coloured piped pyjama this season is not only fun and comfortable, but for some reason feels utterly fitting for this time of year. 

So will you be wearing your pyjamas out this Christmas and beyond?

Something New, Something Blue

 

Outfit: Dress - Custom / Necklace - SheIn / Shoes - Tony Bianco

Okay I'm back and this time I'm hoping that its not fleetingly. Over the last few months, things have been a bit of a whirlwind with my master's degree, but now that all my classes are over (YAY!), I have more time and attention to dedicate to this space that I love. I know I've neglected it and maybe it's not perfect (which sucks for my perfectionist tendencies), but I'm just going to be as authentic as possible over here and I wanted to start this new phase off with a fashion decision that I've made going forward.

If there's anything I've noticed lately, its that bold fashion is the way forward; colour, prints, accessorising, making a statement. After being essentially locked up for a year (and some continuing to be locked up, I feel for you), it's no surprise that we're planning outfits in advance that allows us to express ourselves fully. 

I'm definitely taking this into account; I don't want to just wear the simple basics anymore, I want to add the bolder colours and prints. So of course I started with blue because it's my absolute favourite. There's something about this shade of azure blue that gives me a Summer vibe; it's so reminiscent Greece or the beautiful blues of the sea. Maybe that's just me, but it just speaks more than the regular blues that I wear. 

I paired it with a gold chain belt as a necklace and my favourite Tony Bianco mules to keep the accessories in tone without being too statement. This is the kind of outfit that can be worn so many different ways, casually or dressed up, because its a simple shirt dress. It's all about how you accessorise. I even think doing a full blue monochrome look would be super sweet too. The shirt dress style as a whole is a classic and silk-satin versions just give it a new elevation, making it the perfect addition for Spring Summer. Now my dress is custom, but I've found some great dupes below for you! Click to shop now, and why not try out a bold colour for a change.

Elevate Your Basic T-shirt & Jeans With These Statement Earrings

 Outfit: T-shirt - H&M Men's (linked below) / Jeans - Levis (linked below) / Shoes - Aldo / Belt - Charles & Keith / Earrings - old!

*a little note: my camera battery has died and departed from this life and I have to get myself a new one, until then, it's iPhone photos. Sorry! (And also for some reason, today's have uploaded slightly lacking colour, no idea why, I've tried to fix it, no luck!*

"Let's go out-out tonight!"

"Let's go get drinks!"

"Dinner!"

That inevitable text that introverts love to hate. The last minute noticed that has you frantic to find an outfit. You can't go and pick up an outfit before you hit the town with your friends. So what do you do? Well, we all have basics that never let us down; that classic white tee, the pair of jeans you live in. Okay, but how is that dressy? It's not, is it? Okay, so chuck a pair of heels on. Sorted. Yet something is missing...

As we move into the new season, accessories are about to take their Spring Summer form. Floral pendants, gold, enamel, sparkle - it's all making it's way into stores. Remember when we all used to wear big earrings, the ones that were kind of Boho and extra as hell? Yeah I just found my Mum's box full of those and I've decided they need a night out. And what perfect way to showcase them than with a simple outfit so that they shine? 

A pair of statement earrings can transform a simple outfit into a dynamic one. It can make you feel more put together than you are, like you tried more than you did. Since these earrings can be quite bold and you might be intimidated to wear them on a daily basis, bringing them out for a night of drinks or going out-out will give them the spotlight they deserve. Shop my favourite statement earrings from the high street right now below!

What You Should Be Buying From Zara Right Now

IMAGE CREDIT: ZARA

If you know me well enough or have been following me for a while, you might notice that Zara is my number one when it comes to high street brands. The brand never fails me in quality or styling. It's super current but doesn't overdo it, and also make their pieces versatile enough for wear across the years. It's been a minute since I've properly shopped but I always make wishlists or place things in my basket until I can buy them. Zara is always the first place I go to first, so whilst I was browsing yesterday, I thought I would share the key pieces from Zara's "New In" that I need in my wardrobe right now. Scroll down to shop!

SPOTLIGHT PIECES:

The Green Trousers With Layered Pleated Skirt: Such a unique piece that will be so statement, yet never go out of style. I can see myself pairing them with a t-shirt and sneakers or a sweater and heels. This is going to be one of those unlikely versatile pieces in your wardrobe. 

The Combined Crossover Dress (white & cream): This has got a total designer edge to it - you could probably find something similar on Net-A-Porter or LuisaViaRoma. It's so chic and perfect for the coming Spring months. 

The Polka Dot Slingbacks: This style of shoe has comeback as one of the frontrunners in fashion and I love it. There's something about slingbacks that have a slender, elegant and classy feel to them. What I love about this particular pair is the delicate polka dot print (polka dots are having a moment, YAY) and the extra bow detail to the toe. These are a perfect shoe for any occasion and could take you easily from day to night.

    

  

  

What pieces on Zara do you love right now or which of these are you going to buy immediately? If Zara isn't your first choice for the high street, what is? Let me know because I definitely need to branch out, haha. 

Lots of Love,
