Hi strangers,

It's been a while..

365 days to be exact.

So what better time to start.

I finally feel inspired again and I'm so excited to share with you guys all the changes in my style and all the new things that I'm trying.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet as I will have endless posts to speak to you guys.

So here is to Saturday's very casual outfit and one thing that clearly won't ever change, which is the amount of black I wear. 

I hope you are all well!

Lots of love,

Shay

Hello ladies,

I hope you're all well!

So I thought before posting my new outfit post I will give you a little teaser hahaa.

Just like mentioned in my inspo board this outfit is pretty much black head to toe it includes my favourite heels at the moment and just some classic pieces.

I will show you guys the whole outfit probably tomorrow as I'm actually meeting the girls tonight and I won't have enough time to post!

At least you will have something to look forward to until then I will let you imagine the outfit yourself.

Have a lovely Sunday,

Shay

Hello everyone,

sorry about the absence, I've been contemplating whether or not to uploads this outfit! Hahaa

I had my eyes on these trousers for ages because of the colour, but I must say I'm not sure about the fit on me. I guess I gotta experiment with them a bit more and just see how I get on. 

I wanted to base this outfit mainly around the headwrap, that's why I went for a black high neck cause I thought it would make it look more glam. I find that high necks are always a very nice classic touch.

I hope you guys liked this outfit,

Shay

Silver details

Hello everyone,

here I am with another outfit for you guys, and yes I am actually wearing a skirt for once!

Believe it or not I do looooove skirts, I just always end up wearing jeans or trousers, I just find it more comfortable and I don't have to worry about whether everything is sitting in place or not. 

I must admit that this outfit is very much colourless, but everyone has those days, no? 

You can pretty much never go wrong with an all black outfit and it just gives such a dramatic vibe in a very effortless way if that makes sense.. 

Also can we just talk about the fact that I finally found a pair of ankle boots (without a huge heel) that I genuinely like. I had my eyes on these for ages and I think it was around Christmas time when ASOS had a 20% flash sale where I thought it's now or never. I'm soo soooo picky with ankle boots especially when it comes to flat ones, but these are just right! 

Ohh and this might be a bit weird, but I have this thing where I just can't wear something with silver details on it and then have gold somewhere else - unless it actually works - so for example, if the D-ring on my Coat wasn't silver I would have either worn a different Coat or taken a different bag hahaa I don't know what it is, but I there's something about that tiny little detail that I just can't stand!

Anyway I hope you guys like this outfit and I've got more coming your way featuring my little diva cat,

Hello everyone,

fianlly got a new outfit for you guys! I had this one waiting to be edited for so long now and I finally got around to it. It's been a mad couple of weeks, but everything seems to fall into place again, which is good! 

Enough of the small talk, let's talk outfit! Now here's the deal when it comes to cold weather it's a bit more tricky to look put together as you can't just wear a cute little crop top and a pair of jeans and go. I mean don't get me wrong some people can take the cold very well and if you're one of them then lucky you! For most of us however that is not the case. That does not mean that you can't bring out that fashionista in you with a couple more layers on..here's a few tips I make sure I do to still look nice:

1. One thing I always have to take care of with sweaters, knits and tops in general is making sure that they don't basically eat me and that they're not ridiculously long as I'm quite short. Oversized is always a good idea, but you don't want to overdo it!

2. I also like to pair my oversized huge knits with something more flattering around the bottom like I have done in this outfit! That just allows the pieces to compliment each other and your outfit will probably make more sense.

3. When you wear a huge jumper it's the perfect chance for you to layer underneath as it won't really show through. I sometimes wear 4 layers depending on how thin my knit is, I know that sounds insane, but a girl has got to pull emergency strings sometimes! Your layers underneath don't have to be crazy, crop tops are very practical in these situations as they're not baggy or anything. Now if you cannot take the cold at all uniqlo sells some heat tech bodies, which are amazing and you can layer on top of those as well!

4. Finally just remember that winter knits can be just as flattering as your summer outfits as long as your work with what you've got!

Btw this is probably one of my most loved jumpers ever. It's so so warm, but really chic at the same time. It's also just very easy to wear as you don't have to wear anything else with it in terms of jewellery and stuff it just speaks for itself.

How do you guys keep warm? Let me know,

Hello everyone,

hope you're all well! Found this outfit from a while back, funny enough it was edited and ready to be put up, but I obviously never got around to posting it.

It's a very simple and clean outfit, with a quite sporty feel to it!

I've bought so many new things for my winter wardrobe recently (you might have seen some of them on my instagram @aspoonfulloffashion already)

and I can't wait to share them with you guys. I'm also finally investing in a camera so I can get back to taking daily outfit pictures. It's a bit hard a the moment to take proper ones just with my phone.

Anyways I hope you guys like this. As always I will talk to you soon,

Shay

Sailor romance

outfit: Sweater - Zara / Trousers - Monki / Heels - Asos / Bag - Topshop / Headscarf - Vintage shop

So to change things up a bit I went to Liverpool St. the other day and I finally got to wear these heels. I never had the right outfit or occassion to wear them to, but it just went perfectly with this outfit. They gave me a lot of blisters and pain though, which is quite a shame, but I think it was worth it!

We looked at a few vintage stores and ended up getting this headscarf and another one and I couldn't resist to wear this one straight away. 

This is again one of my favourite outfits, it looks very girly and 40s, 50s'ish with a little twist. I'm seriously loving this phase I'm going through and it works really well on my outfits. Also one of my favourite combinations is Navy and white together it reminds me of old school sailors.. Hahaa 

Hope you guys like it,

Shay
