Double Breasted Blazer / Scalloped Collar Shirt / Pointed Shoes

Hello all!

I'm completely breaking all of my own rules here. I never, ever wear nude colours. Honestly, I've always believed that they don't go with my skin tone and make me look like a corpse. So when I picked out this blazer from SheInside that looked distinctly more blush-pink on the website, I was mildly horrified to open the package to discover it was in fact... the dreaded nude. I'm shocked to discover that actually, I really like it! I think the contrasting black collar makes a big difference in the sense that the nude colour isn't directly next to my skin. You'll know how fond I am of the slightly androgynous, suit-look on women, so I'll definitely be wearing this outfit again and I think the jacket is slightly reminiscent of some of Chanel's styles, which I adore of course. I'd love to know what you think of nude colours, how do you feel about them?

Pink Zara Jacket / Studded Collar

Hello all!

So yesterday I spent a lovely day in my hometown, acting as a (rather inept) tour guide for my friend Bianca during her first visit to the beautiful city of Oxford! My particular highlight was definitely climbing to the top of the Carfax Tower, via spiralling stone stairs that went on for an absolute mile - both wearing heels. DEATH. 

Also, on Tuesday I had my hair cut for the first time in about 3 years! (Tragic, I know!) I begged them to only cut the very ends off, so it's barely noticeable - but I did have it re-ombred just to brighten it up a bit. I hope you're all having a beautiful weekend!

In an English Country Garden

Hello all!

My mother bought me this jacket from H&M quite recently and it's only now I've formed a look with it! At first I found it a bit too 'rah rah horsey horsey jolly good show' but I actually quite like it. I'm not sure if it's very 'me' though, but everyone I've asked keeps telling me they love it so I thought I'd just put it out there and get a response from you all! I imagine you and all of lookbook are absolutely sick of my garden... I need to find other places to take photos, but I just couldn't help myself with this one, standing in the vegetable patch just seemed so appropriate!

Let me know what you all think?

Also, on a completely unrelated note : you know when you comment on a blog and you have to do the 'verification' thing to make sure you're not a robot, so you have to type in "hyufglz" or some random selection of letters? Well... recently I keep getting ones like "STINKY" or "RATTY" ...is it trying to tell me something?! Cheeky bugger.
