Seventies Vibes with Boohoo

It's officially the end of Summer. September is the month for change; the days get cooler and fashion becomes transitional.

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll already know I'm obsessed with all things seventies, I really do think I was born in the wrong era sometimes! Seventies suede is having a moment right now and its continuing on into the new season. There's no better fabric to wear during this pre-autumn period. 

A suede skirt is a staple and I've paired this navy one from Boohoo with this high neck crop tee for a pop of colour. Just because it's no longer summer that doesn't mean you can't wear florals! If, like me, you can't get enough of suede, click here see all the suede goodness Boohoo has to offer. 

I think my favourite piece I'm wearing here has got to be these fringed ankle boots. Fringing is the perfect nod to the seventies trend, a great way to ease yourself in to the look without committing fully. Boohoo has a great selection of ankle boots this season and this pair are no exception. I've already worn them so many times, both casual and a little more dressed up. They look especially good with straight leg jeans. You can't go wrong with a black ankle boot, and the fringe on this pair adds interest to an otherwise plain staple. 

If you're lusting after all things seventies and boho, take a look at the selection here and here... Happy shopping!

#OOTD: 27th March 2015, Seventies Platforms

I have a confession to make: I am obsessed with suede. There, I said it! I've gone and bought another suede skirt but this one is extra beautiful so it was necessary. I'm also completely obsessed with this whole seventies vibe, as you are probably very aware. I can't get enough of platforms, flares and suede, it's definitely my favourite look for Spring.

How pretty is this skirt? I can't wait to wear it over the Summer with platform sandals and a t-shirt. Although I'm already tall, I couldn't resist these Topshop boots, they are veeeery high though so not for the clumsy or faint-hearted! 

I think transitional outfits are always the the hardest because you can never really predict the weather, but layers are key. You can always add or take off a jacket or knit so they are ideal to pair with bare legs at this time of year.

#OOTD, 16th February, Suede Parade

Unless you've been hiding under a rock lately, you will know that the seventies is a HUGE trend for the new season, and I am already loving it. I haven't found my perfect pair of flares yet or that 'just right' fringed bag, but I have bought several vintage suede skirts. This look is inspired mostly by the Chloe SS15 runway, where tan suede was paired with navy. It's still too cold for the gladiator sandals also showcased so instead I've gone for my favourite ankle boots.

When it's finally sunny I'll be wearing this skirt with a simple white t-shirt and platform sandals. Are you loving suede lately too? I'd love to see how you style it, leave me a comment!
