Call Me Team

I love playing around with textures and colours in any shape and form. I was inspired by this Suno Cotton Crop and Pencil Skirt with its amazing structure and the woven gold thread. Playing around with colour I thought hits of electric pink would add a bit of interest. And for the accessories layers of gold, gold, and more gold because well, why not? x

Call Me Mine

A few of you may have seen me post these amazing floral trousers on my Instagram - @deepalipatel - a week or so ago, I got them from the East End Thrift Store in East London. They do these unbelievably amazing £1 jumble sales - yes everything is £1!!! As you can imagine they can be quite hit and miss, but with a little patience, a good eye and some mental outfit building you can find some real gems. I've been to about 2 so far and I've got some pretty amazing bits, these floral trousers and this coat being top on the list. 

I adore the print on the trousers and they are super high waisted, which means they hide the bits I don't like so much (bonus points for that). As the print on the trousers is quite bold I opted for all black pieces to accompany them. This gorgeous wool coat was another piece I found at the Jumble Sale. I've been after a long black boyfriend coat for a while and saw this at the Jumble Sale and couldn't believe my eyes. I obviously had to give it a pretty vigorous dry clean and steam, but even before then it was in a amazing condition. I love the little button details on the tail and the gorgeous silk lining.

Even for general vintage shopping I'd recommend The East End Thrift Store, if you're ever in that side of London definitely go! x

Call Me Picture Perfect

Palm prints and really any tropical-esque prints have been all over the catwalks and highstreet for SS14. I adore this crop top from Warehouse, it's a really wearable way of wearing the print in the toned down shades of navy and cream. A bit of candy pink lips and some gold studs and I'll be ready to embrace the sunshine! x

Call Me Guilty

A little outfit post just before going to my cousins birthday party last weekend. It was so hard trying to find something to wear and  it was the end of a long shopping trip when I saw this exquisitely bright pink floral printed skirt from Topshop, it completely stole my heart and I knew I had to get it for the party. Not only is the print gorgeous, the skirt is structured amazingly and the fabric has beautiful quilted detail. I decided to keep the top basic with a plain black cami and for shoes, I picked out the grey hues in the florals and decided on these amazing stone grey strappy sandals from New Look for a steal at £19.99! (New Look's footwear are absolutely killing it this season) As I kept the feminine feel flowing with a lace clutch I added a tough looking leather jacket, a long black formal coat did work with the outfit but I'm a sucker for leather and studs. 

The skirt itself is quite a statement piece and is quite formal in structure and shape and so it's perfect for events. I do think it's quite versatile so I can't wait to style it for a day friendly look! x

Call Me Lady Luck

Some details from what I wore to work last week. I got this amazing Topshop red/orange fluffy coat in the sale around Christmas and it has been surprisingly versatile. It's quite a shocking colour but the texture and the oversize cocoon silhouette works quite well with many of the things in my closet. I paired the coat with these amazing rose print trousers from Oasis and a basic black cami. 

Shoes were easy, these amazing 90s-esque platforms from New Look's Limited Edition have been on my lust list ever since I saw them on the website a few months ago. They obviously sold out by the time I went to buy them online, but after some naughty after work shopping I found them in the New Look store in Bank. 1 pair in my size! If I didn't believe in fate already I would have after that. x
