March Online Favourites

Here are some of my online favourite that are currently sitting in my ‘saved items <3′ yet to be purchased. I’m sure I’m not the only one who can’t make their minds up before making a purchase (no matter the price). 

ASOS:

These earrings will go perfect with my new double helix piercings that are pending later this month.

Who are your biggest fashion influencers?

I have always been a big ‘fan’ (using this word very lightly) of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s style from a very young age. I have watched all the films/TV shows they have ever been part of - from Full House to their feature film New York Minute. I had posters of them on my walls as well as magazine cut-out that they had featured in (I’m very sure I still have these in a box somewhere?). I loved them as actresses ( I started theatre when I was 8 years old because of them). Since they stopped acting and built their fashion empire, I have also followed this journey (but not as close and as a 10 year old child, lol). I admire their work-ethics of what they have achieved from a young age and to the business women they are today. I wouldn’t say that I would dress the way they do, but their style has remained consistent but yet evolved over the years I have ‘followed’ them. They are known for their petite frame with oversized accessories and boho chic styles. To cut a long story short and actually answer the question, with regards to my daily style and fashion influencers - I visit Tumblr, Pinterest and Instagram for street style inspiration! 

How would you describe your style?

Currently - what I have available in my wardrobe. which is a curation of old clothes I have had since 2009 ( they were pricey at the time so I have every reason to still have them in my wardrobe). I also have some pieces that i have brought from charity/thrift shops as well as high street stores.

I go through seasons (daily to be exact) where I’m always looking to change my wardrobe because I’m never satisfied with what I have. I’m currently exercising discipline and holding off buying items of clothing until I can ‘re-define’ what I want my style to be. I would love to create a capsule wardrobe with a few trend pieces that can stand the test of time and the ever-changing fashion world.

So, until then....my style will remain very casual and comfortable.

What are your favourite brands/shops/designers?

Argh! How can I even make a choice? My go-to place for everyday shopping is ASOS (www.asos.com) where  they have different high street stores on one platform. This makes shopping easier for me (I also have free next day delivery and free returns!)

I have always shopped at H&M (www.hm.com)  from a young age as I was raised in Sweden. However if I had a high street shop where I could do ALL my clothes shopping from, it would be Urban Outfitters (www.urbanoutfitters.com)

Current favourite pieces from Urban Outfitters are:

What is your current favourite piece of clothing in your wardrobe right now? (March 2018)

My leather jacket (pictured above). I brought this on DEPOP many moons ago and for a while I even forgot that I had it. Although it has been snowing in the UK - this has been my go to piece with a thick scarf.

What is your favourite film/TV show about fashion?

Gossip Girl (no further explanation needed).
