Call Me Sign

So here are a few snaps from my second day in LA. It was more of a touristy affair with a trip to see the Hollywood sign, general drives around LA to sight see, and shopping on Rodeo Drive of course.

I knew this was going to be a pretty busy day so clothing couldn't be too complicated or heavy, when sightseeing comfort is key. I got this amazing china print dress (which I'll be sure to feature on this blog again, trust me - I'm obsessed) from Topshop. The lightweight fabric made it such an easy piece to wear, but the intricate details like the cut out shoulders and ornate china print stopped it from being just an ordinary day dress. I kept the other additions to the outfit quite simplistic; tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses, a leather jacket, opaque tights (it was a bit chilly) and some comfortable flats. x

So it's been a while since I've last blogged, a lot has changed which kind of halted the blogging flow, and once it stopped it gets a bit difficult to get back into the swing of it, my apologies! It's been a crazy few months; new job, holidays, house redecorating and general life and everything else getting in the way! 

I'll start with the holiday! In March my sister and I went to LA and oh my god it was amazing! 

Here are a few snaps from day one.

Relaxing in the sun with my sister, snaps on Hollywood Boulevard, shopping in the Highland Mall where you can see the top of the Loews hotel where we stayed, and the breathtaking view of the city and Hollywood sign from our hotel room!

Call Me Love

About a month or so ago I shared with all of you that I'm getting into jewellery making. I just wanted to share my latest necklace, but mainly the influences behind this particular piece. I love vintage jewellery and by far my favourite pieces are the pearl and gold Chanel designs.

For the piece I made I sourced vintage gold and pearl floral buttons that shared the classic Chanel-esque qualities. Hope you all like it! x

Call Me Strong

Some of my favourite things recently are shimmered fabrics, khaki and black. And whether it be make-up or accessories, you can't go wrong with strong pops of gold, silver and burgundy. x

And the monochrome madness continues at Paris Fashion Week. Chanel and Valentino were by far my favourite collections, officially in love! x
