White & Green

Hello my lovelies! Aren't you all just so pleased that summer is finally here to stay?! I know I am - I love having bare legs and wearing cute little tops so this outfit is one of my current faves. Granted, I could be off to play tennis but I actually embrace that!

I'm normally a denim shorts girl through and through all summer long but these tailored shorts are just the best. They have a nice loose yet structured shape, which makes them super comfortable and I love the light green stripes. I will certainly be looking out for some more similar ones to add to my summer wardrobe.

Coucou! J'espère que tu es si content que moi que l'été reste enfin! J'aime trop avoir les jambes nues et porter des petits haut mignons du coup ce look est un de mes préférés actuels. J'avoue que je pourrais jouer du tennis dans cette tenue mais je la kiffe!

Normalement, je ne porte que des shorts en jean pendant tout l'été mais ce short ajusté est vachement génial. Il a une coupe ample mais structurée alors il est super confortable et j'aime bien les rayures vertes claires. C'est sûr que je chercherai des shorts similaires pour ajouter à mon placard d'été.

All White

Vintage white short dungarees / Topshop white crop top / Adidas Stan Smith trainers

Location: 3rd arrondissement, Paris

I had been wanting to shoot this outfit for a while but then the god damn weather keeps not being warm enough for bare legs and an all white outfit. Sure, we can all agree that wearing just white is extremely impractical, the realities of which I discovered yesterday after having worn this outfit to delivery day at work and not shooting this until the evening. Despite risks of obvious marks, I will keep championing the all white look all summer, it's just lovely and fresh.


Ça fait longtemps que j'ai voulu prendre des photos de cet outfit mais récemment il faisait pas assez beau pour des jambes nues et un outfit tout en blanc. Bien-sûr qu'on est d'accord que portant du blanc est vachement impraticable et je l'ai découvert hier quand j'ai porté cet outfit pour toute la journée de livraison au taf avant de prendre des photos le soir. Même si je risque d'avoir des tâches évidentes, je continuerai de soutenir le look tout blanc cet été, il est juste beau et tout frais.

Sports Tailoring

Happy hump day lovelies! Just a simple outfit mixing tailoring and sports vibes, which I find is the perfect outfit for work. I was drawn to this orange Topshop crop like a moth to a flame, and let's face it, I'm probably going to end up getting it in white and black because it's just great.

Just a brief one from me today as I have lots to do before I head back home to Bristol for a long weekend on Thursday evening. I am so excited as I haven't been back since Christmas so I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with family and friends over good food and lots of G&Ts. Cheers!

Bon mercredi les chéris! Juste un outfit simple qui mélange du façonnage et du style sport, ce qui je trouve parfait pour bosser. Dès que j'ai vu ce crop orange de Topshop, il fallait que je l'achète, et honnêtement, j'imagine que je l'achèterai en blanc et en noir parce qu'il est génial.

Juste une parole brève aujourd'hui parce que j'ai plein de choses à faire avant que je rentre à Bristol pour un weekend prolongé jeudi soir. La dernière fois que je suis rentré était à Noël alors j'ai trop hâte de passer du temps avec ma famille et mes potes en mangeant de la bonne bouffe et en buvant des Gin & Tonics. Santé!

La Parisienne

Location: Pont Notre Dame, Paris

For a long time I have searching for the perfect classic black and oversized Parisian coat. I am still searching and this utter beaut featured here is my friend Aliya's, which I borrowed at the weekend when she was visiting. To say I am jealous is an understatement and having now tried it on and worn it for a day, it's safe to say I could cry myself to sleep at night over it not being mine. 

Anyway, I am glad I could finally shoot this classic Parisian look, despite not having found my black coat of dreams. So basically all else you need to slip perfectly into a gaggle of Parisiennes is black jeans, a striped top and comfy Stan Smiths. This look is so effortless and chic at the same time it can be one of the hardest and easiest to pull off. Does that even make sense? It does in my head...

Depuis longtemps je cherche le manteau noir classique parfait et oversized à la parisienne. Malheureuse, je cherche toujours et ma copine Aliya m'a prêté ce manteau hyper-beau quand elle me rendait visite le weekend dernier. En disant que j'en suis jalouse, ce n'est rien de le dire et des que je l'ai mis pendant une journée, je pourrais m'endormir en pleurant parce qu'il n'est pas le mien.

Bref, je suis contente de pouvoir faire un look parisien typique, même si je n'ai pas encore trouvé le manteau noir de mes rêves. Du coup, pour mélanger bien parmi des potes parisiennes, il faut mettre un jean noir, un haut rayé, des Stan Smiths et LE manteau noir. Ce look est au même temps sans effort et chic, il pourrait être le plus difficile mais aussi le plus simple à mettre. Vous voyez ce que je veux dire? Je me comprends dans ma tête...

Masculine Vibes

Vintage trousers (similar here) / Vintage coat (similar here) / H&M striped jumper / Adidas Stan Smith trainers / Mac So Chaud lipstick

Location: backstreets of Montmartre, Paris

For ages I have been looking for a oversized yet flattering pair of tailored masculine trousers and I have finally found them! I love the dark grey colour, which makes them really easy to wear and they're so comfortable! I paired them with a relaxed yet very Parisian striped cropped jumper and my go to mint green coat to give the outfit a bit of colour. My Stan Smiths are perfect for a casual winter stroll around the backstreet of Montmartre and the Sacre Cœur where these photos were shot. 

Hope everyone is not struggling too much with the cold! I definitely need to invest in some new coats and boots…oh dear (!)…watch this space.

PFW: What I wore

Motel Rocks trousers (c/o) / eBay black top / Vintage mesh top / Adidas Stan Smith trainers

Location: Palais de Tokyo, Paris 

This is what I wore yesterday at Paris Fashion Week. As well as doing work for my blog, I am also Motel Rocks' PFW reporter so they sent me some lovely items to wear. I just love the colour and cut of these trousers, although they do come up a bit big so I would advise sizing down. I like mixing different styles and for this look I'm bringing together tailored chic and sporty, relaxed vibes. What do you think?

Simple and Sporty

H&M T-shirt dress / Adidas Stan Smith trainers

Location: just off rue Veuille du Temple, Paris

I could not help myself. I have been obsessing over Adidas Stan Smith trainers for a while now so this weekend I thought, "fuck it, I'm just going to get them". I have not bought new shoes for a few months, no thanks to my bank balance (sob), so I was due. I also could not resist this bargain 6€ t-shirt dress from H&M, yes I am holding onto summer and bare legs for dear life. And I know what you're thinking - no vintage in sight - I am shocked as well. 

I have been eyeing up this location to shoot blog posts for ages as it is on my route to work. What do you guys think? With such a simple outfit, the colourful and interesting graffiti works well to really spice up the photos.
