Decades of Vintage Project: 50's

Eiffel

Coat - Zara Shirt - Other Stories Hat - Monki

Final lot of photographs from Paris. If the inside of the Galleries Lafayette isn't gorgeous enough the view from the roof amazing, with an Eiffel Tower lingering in the background. I don't think the Eiffel tower ever gets old, no wonder someone actually married it (seriously).

The last two days took us to the Palais Galleria for the Jeanne Lanvin exhibition, having just studied the 1930s in depth it was amazing to see the dresses in real life. This was the same for Les Arts Décoratifs and the Elsa Schiaparelli collection. For a sewer, an exhibition with 3,000 buttons was magic. I cannot wait to go to Paris again hopefully in the near future!

Nod

Gilet- DIY Fedora - Monki Shorts - Missguided Neckerchief - Cow Necklace - Zara

So here we are with a little nod to the 70's, I'm feeling very fond of it already. I love using the neckerchief for a little colour against the usual monochrome and the trusty fedora is always a winner. 

I'm currently trying to work out my Paris wardrobe for the beginning of March (eep!!), does anyone know what the weather will be doing?

New Year

Playsuit - Zara Blazer - Vessos Hat - Monki Shoes - Topshop

It was sale shopping to the rescue for New Year, this playsuit was lurking in a corner of Zara. Chic yet comfortable for dancing. And of course it wouldn't be NYE without a little glitter! 

Wishing everyone the very best for 2015!

Overcoat

Coat - Topshop Blazer - Monki Bag -Choies Jeans - DIY Shoes - Office

I was pretty restraint over Black Friday and this coat is the only thing I bought, such a bargain with student discount on top of the sale! I love the duster/trench coat vibe and it's such a good length. I wore this to go to Chatsworth House, it's always fabulous at this time of year.

Where do you always go at Christmas?

Jumper - H&M Trouser - Monki Hat - Monki Boots - Office

So here's the first of my America buys to get to the blog. They literally have a H&M on every street corner and this jumper was looking at me on very single one. I'm not one for colour so this is a good step away from black. I love the sloppy jumper with loose trousers, they are the matching ones to the last outfit posts's jacket - I will wear the whole suit one day!

Wrap up

Blazer - Monki Scarf - Zara Boots - Office Bag - DIY

It is certainly a British November, cold and wet. This scarf is so useful for this weather, you can wear it in a million different ways, I love it with this steely grey blazer. I couldn't resist it in the sale and I have the matching trousers from a while back and can't wait to wear the whole suit!

What type of matching set would you try? Tell me in the comments below ↓

New Old

Jeans - Topshop (similar) Blazer - Mango Hat - Monki Boots - Office

I have finally resurrected these jeans after probably a year. I love how they are true denim with no stretch in them so they fit really nicely. But the hat and boots are brand new replacements. New Chelsea boots at long last! These ones are so pretty with the brogue details and the tight ankle, And a properly fitting hat (woop!) Monki always gets it right. 

The bag is my newest DIY, super easy thing to do with a scrap of fur fabric.

Have you rediscovered something from the back of your wardrobe? Let me know in the comments

Seventies

I think I'm in love with the seventies trend, the Studio 54 glitter and the everyday flares. Keep it not so obvious by pairing a statement piece with an every day basic. Wear your T shirt long over the top with some bright jewellery.

Trousers - Asos Sweatshirt - Zara

Mini Mini

I am definitely going to buy some skinny over the knee boots this season, I hope more will come come out as we get further into Autumn (I can dream of these until that happens). The idea of them with a mini skirt and a tiny bit of flesh exposed is so appealing.

Skirt - Topshop Boots - Stuart Weitzman

Woolly Sweaters

There is nothing better than snuggling up in a big jumper when the wind is blowing. I love the colour and shape of this one mixed with man trousers and a chic backpack.

Bag - Asos Jumper - H&M

Clean 90's

Think 90's pale suits. I love this Monki jacket with an oversized shirt underneath. Wear with a mini skirt and bare legs for a tomboy look.

Jacket - Monki Top -  Other Stories

Denim

Relaxed fit jeans are over taking the skinny jean and I love these cigarette fit ones from Zara. The lighter wash version is also lush but I would pair these with a sheepskin coat (to throw in another A/W 14 hero) and a blanket like scarf.

Coat - Topshop Jeans - Zara

 I hope you have enjoyed this post. I might start doing more like this. Remember to visit Raise
