How To Wear Florals For Autumn

It is that time of year when I feel fed up of summer clothes, I am pining for a wardrobe refresh and the weather is so hit and miss that I just struggle getting dressed in the morning. Therefore, I am already starting to think about the new season, which trends I am going to buy into and how to style existing pieces for this transitional period. 

This dress recently featured in an ASOS HAUL VIDEO and when styling it up, it made me think about how it is possible to wear florals in autumn. Of course, we all inevitably associate floral print with summer - with cute short sleeve blouse, wedding appropriate tea dress and bold embroidery on jeans - and although traditionally florals are very girly, I think it is possible to incorporate this print into our minimal/grunge/boyish wardrobes. 

As this dress is not head to toe covered in florals and is dominated by a black background, it is easy to avoid a super feminine look. Today I have styled it simply with a boxy, tailored suede shirt/jacket whose shape is a nice contrast to the floaty shape of this long-sleeved tea dress and whose pastel colour goes well with the pink flowers. Chunky boots were a must for this outfit so I chose my black chelsea boots to keep the tough, grunge vibe. This dress is perfect for AW16 because grunge is definitely back and also it has that lovely ruffle detailing on the sleeves which is still going to be massive this season. 

What pieces are you adding to your autumnal wardrobe? Do you have any tips for wearing florals for AW16?

C'est la période quand j'en ai marre des vêtements d'été, je veux changer mon placard et le temps est si bizarre que je n'arrive pas à m'habiller le matin! Donc, j'ai déjà commencé à penser de la nouvelle saison, de quelles tendance je suivrai et comment styler des pièces que j'ai pour cette période.

Vous avez vu cette robe dans ma VIDEO ASOS HAUL et en la mettant, je me suis dit qu'il est possible de porter du motif fleuri pendant l'automne. C'est sûr qu'on associe du motif fleuri avec l'été - avec des petits chemisiers mignons, des robes de mariage et de la broderie sur du jean - et même si des fleurs sont super féminins, je pense qu'il est possible de porter ce motif avec un style minimaliste/grunge/boyish.   

Vu que cette robe n'est pas couverte de fleurs et a un fond noir, il est facile d'éviter une tenue très féminine. Aujourd'hui, je mets une chemise/veste en daim ajustée par dessus pour avoir un bon contraste de formes et un lien avec la couleur pastel des fleurs roses. J'ai su qu'il fallait mettre des bottines trapues du coup j'ai choisi mes bottines Chelsea noires pour garder la vibe dur et grunge. Cette robe est parfaite pour automne/hiver 2016 parce que le grunge est revenu et elle a des détails de ruches qui continuent d'être une super tendance cette saison.   

Quelles pièces ajoutez-vous à votre placard d'automne? Avez-vous des conseils pour porter des motifs fleuris en automne?

Rock N Roll Culottes

Culottes - ZAFUL*, T-shirt - Reading Festival, SIMILAR, Shoes - CONVERSE, Leather jacket - old ASOS, SIMILAR, Hat - vintage, SIMILAR
Location: Redland, Bristol

You guys have already seen these amazing ORANGE CULOTTES on this blog and over on my INSTAGRAM where they were very well received, so I wanted to show you another way to style them. I always thought that culottes required minimal and/or sportwear styling but today I am breaking all the rules and wearing them rock n roll style.

I have an on-off relationship with band/slogan/novelty tees, sometimes thinking they are too 2005, but right now I am loving them. This particular one is very dear to me as it celebrates The Libertines reunion at Reading Festival 2010 where I saw this special band for the first and only time. I think the red logo on the t-shirt goes perfectly with the orange of the culottes and the whole thing looks pretty damn good next to this VW campervan of dreams. Of course no rock n roll look would be complete without Converse and a leather jacket and I've  finished off the look with this perfect fedora, which I really must wear more.

How would you style these culottes?

Vous avez déjà vu cette belle JUPE-CULOTTE ORANGE sur ce blog et sur mon INSTAGRAM - où vous l'avez trop aimé - donc, je voulais vous montrer une autre façon de la porter. Normalement, je pense qu'il faut porter la jupe-culotte dans un style minimaliste et/ou sportswear mais aujourd'hui je casse tous les règles en la mettant en style rock n roll.

Concernant des t-shirts rock/slogan/fantaisie, je les aime et je ne les aime pas - des fois ils me rappelent trop de l'année 2005 mais maintenant je les kiffe. En particulier, j'aime bien ce t-shirt de The Libertines parce qu'il célèbre sa réunion en 2010 à Reading Festival où j'ai regardé ce groupe génial pour la première et seule fois. Pour moi, le logo rouge va super bien avec la couleur orange de la jupe-culotte et l'ensemble est parfait à côté de ce camping-car de mes rêves. On ne peut pas avoir un look rock n roll sans des Converses ou un perfecto et j'ai fini la tenue avec ce chapeau feutre que je ne mets pas assez.

Comment mettez-vous cette jupe-culotte?

Photography: Structures in Paris, Barcelona And Berlin

Back in Paris in the spring of 2015, I started a 36 exposure black and white film with the intention of photographing structures, both natural and man-made. Since then, I have lived in Barcelona, revisited Paris and travelled to one of my favourite European cities - Berlin - and my SLR came with me.

PARIS

Paris is known for its beautifully classic, sand-coloured, Haussmann buildings but there certainly is more to the city's architecture than that. These photos were taken along the gritty, more industrial Canal Saint Martin where the different lines and grids were beautiful to photograph. As I started this film not long before I moved, unfortunately I was unable to fully explore this unusual way of photographing the white city.

BARCELONA

From Paris-esque Metro signs to interesting trees and the mix of industrial and picturesque architecture, I could not help but photograph such a variety of subjects in Barcelona. While shooting this film, I spent the most time in Barcelona, which was both an advantage and a disadvantage. Perhaps after a while, some things that would have photographed so well, I took for granted although the more I explored, the more photographs I could take. Watch this space for my colour film photos of Barcelona coming soon.

BERLIN

Berlin is a very urban city with street art on every corner and vast open spaces of both development and nothingness. What particularly struck me was how many organic communities there were around the city who had created camps or makeshift shelters. I feel that I cannot comment further on this because I do not know about these communities but it certainly was intriguing to photograph.

I hope you had enjoyed seeing a few snapshots from my latest film. This follows on from my film PHOTOGRAPHING PEOPLE IN PARIS, which I shared on the blog a year ago yesterday. Yep, I must take more photos, more quickly - duly noted!

Hello! It is currently early Sunday evening (I know you're reading this on Monday morning but bear with me), it's pissing it down with rain, my mum is cooking lasagne for dinner and my computer is running about as fast as a tortoise doing backstroke. I have seem to got myself into this routine of taking outfit photos at the weekend and spending Sunday evening editing photos and writing Monday's blog post rather than taking time to relax, which let's face it, is what Sundays are for. Don't get me wrong - I absolutely love blogging but I definitely need to get on top of my content and get ahead of myself. Hopefully this can happen now that I already have quite a few looks shot and in the bank.

So today's look is one that I styled for my recent ASOS HAUL AND TRY ON VIDEO and I liked it so much that I had to share it on here too. Dusty pink has been everywhere this season and I think it going to be the perfect transitional colour going into winter. I hardly own anything pink therefore I was not sure if this blouse would suit me but I think it does! Of course, it goes without saying that I absolutely love the ruffles and pussy bow detailing and although these already feature heavily in my blouse collection, it is a welcome addition thanks to the dusty pink colour.

I decided to "toughen up" the blouse by wearing my boyish, straight washed black jeans and chunky black chelsea boots. I finished the look with a much needed nod to the sixties with this floppy baker boy hat. This is the perfect way of wearing a rather "fussy" blouse in a totally unfussy way.

How do you keep on top of your blogging schedule? How would you style this beautiful blouse?

Salut! Il est dimanche soir (je sais que quand vous lisez ce poste, ce sera lundi matin), il pleut, ma mère est en train de cuisiner du lasagne et mon ordinateur prend son temps pour faire tout. Actuellement, j'ai ce routine où on me prend en photo pendant le weekend et je passe dimanche soir en faisant le poste de lundi au lieu de me détendre comme il faut faire dimanche soir. Bien sûr que j'aime bien faire mes postes mais il faut que je trouve un rythme pour que je ne laisse rien au dernier moment. J'espère que je peux améliorer mon planning vu que j'ai déja shooter plein de looks cette dernière semaine.

Aujourd'hui je vous montre un look que j'ai fait pour mon vidéo ASOS HAUL AND TRY ON et je voulais le partager avec vous sur ce blog parce que je l'aime bien. La couleur vieux rose est super tendance cette saison et je pense qu'elle est la couleur parfaite pour la période entre fin été et automne. Je n'ai presque rien en rose et je n'étais pas sûr si ce chemisier m'irait mais je pense que si! Je kiffe cette type de chemisier et j'en ai déjà plein en blanc mais un chemisier vieux rose est vraiment différent.

J'ai voulu porter ce chemisier dans une façon boyish du coup j'ai porté mon jean droit et mes bottes noires trapues. J'ai fini la tenue en mettant ma casquette sixties et voilà c'est la moyenne parfaite de porter ce chemisier féminin dans une façon décontractée.

Comment vous gérez votre planning de blog? Comment stylez-vous ce beau chemisier?

Orange culottes by Zaful

Culottes - ZAFUL*, Body - Zara, Shoes - Converse, Choker - ZAFUL*
Location: Redland, Bristol

Following part one of my collaboration with ZAFUL on Monday where I styled that amazing WHITE BLOUSE WITH BELL SLEEVES, today I am back with part two featuring two pieces from this wonderful website. As I said in my previous post, it was so hard to choose just three pieces from their enormous and varied collection and since publishing Monday's post, I have had friends telling me how much they also love it! (One friend stated "I want it all.")

Ok so let's talk about these amazing WIDE LEG ORANGE CULOTTES! I do not normally wear orange and it is certainly a colour that I used to hate. However, recently I have been loving it more and more, especially this "burnt" orange shade. These trousers are a lovely shape and thanks to their light material, they are just perfect for the high temperatures that we have been having in the UK this week. 

I instantly knew that I would pair these loose, dramatic culottes with a tight body for contrast and today I went for my simple, black V-neck one. I think a strappy, backless number would look super sassy with the culottes - perhaps as an evening holiday look (but for that I can only dream!). To finish off the look, I added this monster METAL CIRCLE CHOKER also by ZAFUL. It is such a statement piece and way wider than any of the chokers that I already own but I bloody love it. 

Have you been wearing any colours recently that you previously hated? How would you style these orange culottes? I do actually have a completely different look featuring these culottes in the pipeline so look out for that!

Je vous ai présenté lundi la première partie de ma collaboration avec ZAFUL où je vous ai montré ce CHEMISIER BLANCAVEC DES MANCHES DE CLOCHES. Aujourd’hui je partage la deuxième partie avec vous qui inclut deux articles de leur site géniale. Comme j’ai mentionné dans ma poste précédente, c’était tellement difficile de choisir seulement trois pièces de leur grande collection variée. Dès que j’ai publié la poste de lundi, mes copines m’ont dit qu’elles adorent le site ! (Une copine m’a constaté ‘je veux tout.’)

Ok, on parle de cette JUPE-CULOTTEORANGE magnifique ! Normalement je ne porte pas de l’orange et même je le détestais ! Cependant, récemment j’aime cette couleur de plus en plus, surtout cette nuance d’orange ‘brûlée’. J’aime bien la coupe du pantalon et grâce à sa matière légère, il est parfait pour ces températures plus hautes que nous avons actuellement en Angleterre.


J’ai su instantanément que je mettrais cette jupe-culotte ample avec un body serre pour avoir un contraste et aujourd’hui je porte mon body noir simple avec un col en V. Je pense qu’un body à bretelles dos nu irait super bien avec cette jupe-culotte – peut-être pour un look de soirée en vacances. Pour finir la tenue, j’ai ajoute ce RAS-DE-COU LARGE qui vient de ZAFUL aussi. Il est beaucoup plus large que les autres ras-de-cou que j’ai mais je le kiffe tellement !

Vous portez des couleurs récemment que vous détestiez ? Comment portez-vous cette jupe-culotte orange ? En fait, je vais vous montrer une autre façon bientôt alors revenez !
