OFFICE STYLE

I was lucky enough to spent this weekend working at the National Wedding fair at the N.E.C in Birmingham. Whilst everyone was looking for their perfect wedding dress I was lusting over the organisers outfits, she channelled the smart sophisticated look perfectly, which got me thinking about how I could incorporate this in to my daily work wear style now I'm in a job role that requires this look.

Here are a few examples of outfits that achieve this and have inspired me - 

Wearing lace skirts with a basic shirt or jumper for a more feminine approach or teaming with a leather skirt or black trousers for a more edgier take.

To recreate these styles I would head to your nearest Zara store. I will be following this post with some examples of how I have channelled this look myself.

KNITS

Every girls style staple for Autumn, Winter is a knitted jumper, here's some inspiration on how to wear yours from cashmere to oversized, from ankle boots to heels.

The beauty of a classic knit is that you can dress them up for an evening outfit by wearing heels or for work as well as teaming with jeans and boots for a more casual, comfy outfit choice or for adding extra layers underneath a coat. If you are eager to ditch the Grandpa look then wear with leather luxe trousers.

DRESS UP

It was my 23rd birthday the other week and my boyfriend surprised me with a couple of new dresses he chose himself, one of which I wore to go out for cocktails with my friends to celebrate. I absolutely adore the design and the colour, its very flattering and the perfect shade for summer, mint green. 

My dress is from ASOS, which is still available to buy, you can also shop similar styles in this colour here. 

I kept it simple and wore mine with low heeled white sandals from New Look and a black clutch.

BEC & BRIDGE

I am in love with this Australian label, after recently discovering it through Instagram!

"A strong design aesthetic underlies each collection and resonates with their signature style: contoured lines and sleek silhouettes, the look is the epitome of modern, sophisticated and chic. Bec and bridge is renowned for it's innovative take on the party dress, as well as a refined collection of chic separates in fresh and vibrant colour palettes."

A few of my favourite pieces, from their most recent collections....

The clean lines, strong colours and flattering shapes really appeal to me, this is definitely a brand to watch out for, fingers crossed the UK is their next place to branch out to!

SUBOO SWIMWEAR

All in ones have never looked so good!

I would normally favour a bikini over a costume but after discovering Suboo who showcased at the Mercedes Benz Swimwear show in Miami last week has made me question my chose.

Here are my favourites from their current collection....

The lines create structure to the swimsuit, giving the illusions of curves perfect for more athletic figures or if you re lucky enough to have curves already it does a great job of highlighting them. I love the different patterns and the pastel colour palette they've selected.

And for those of us who like to bare a little more flesh these are perfect for you! With the mesh detail it creates more of a sports luxe feel as well as showing a little more skin and accentuating the waist, using diagonal lines.

We need more styles like this in the UK

Shop their whole collection

and this is what we have to look forward to, SS15....

I cannot wait!!!
