How to Enjoy Summer in Style

Every Summer has its own Story

And has’t that been true for our hot hot hot Summer. When we started it out from the muddy puddles of Glastonbury… We thought the tale has been told for the future of a very wet Summer… until one fine day the Sun finally came out.

The parks are filling up with bodies soaking up the sun, our wardrobes become a plethora of colours and textures to brighten up those days, BBQ becomes the go to for dinner and there is always time for a fruity cider.

The sun enables us to produce valuable vitamin D which in turn prevents us from getting seasonal affective disorders and other ailments. This means the time is now to get outside and enjoy this Summer in Style… here are my top little hacks… 

1) Hang up the boring Work clothes and embrace the day with Style

Smart Casual in hot weather is tough. With heavy fabrics and tight tailoring it can lead to people getting hot and agitated. Let go of the rules and bring out those natural cottons, flowing dresses, cami tops and crops.

We are a nation who embraces every minute of sunlight like it might be our last… so you will be forgiven for breaking the office dress code on these days. Live a little!

2) Kick out the heels and jump into those Kicks

The sun is out and it is time to get moving. The tube is a near death experience, traffic jams and being stuffy in the car! No way – get out and move. Four miles may sound a long way to work but put on your favourite kicks and get moving. You will get those early morning rays and keep your beach bod in check with the exercise.

I am drooling over my new kicks Footlocker is smashing it with styles this summer. These beautiful adidas quilted ZX Flux are stylish enough to be worn with a co-ord or summer dress meaning you can head straight from the office to the Park – BBQ – Sun Adventure without having to carry lots of bags with a change of clothes in.

3) Bring Nature in…

Flowers in every room. Brighten up your day. Go to the market after work and treat yourself to a new plant. Boost that smile every morning with the beautiful colours of nature. 

From Columbia Road to your local Florist. Pop in – find out whats local. Get the scents in and embrace the colours. If you want to order beautiful British Flowers online – check out Arena Flowers for special offers that are beautifully local to bring any room to life. or you can use wynne66708 for 25% off 😉

Seasonal Styling: Workout gear to strut into the New Year

Retro Fonts

This week I have been updating my Workout Wardrobe ready to start the New Year with a bang!

fabletics

There is nothing like hitting a new workout, new plan and new goals with a wardrobe to support. It inspires you and it motivates you to get up and move.

Gym clothes should be treated with the same level as your work clothes. They need to be suitable, supportive, stretchy and stylish!

There are lots of places on the internet where you can get new clothes but here are my seasonal suggestions

My new garms consist of:

Wellicious:

This cute catsuit is perfect for yoga, stretching and jogging. 
Launched in 2009 by Heike Schnell, a passionate yogista and mother of three who found it difficult to find clothes for her yoga class that combined fashion, comfort and the eco-friendly aspect. Wellicious was set up with a mission to create eco-premium performance apparel for the growing number of individuals interested in sustainable, healthy living and being active but who do not want to sacrifice style for practicality.

The team who work at Wellicious are great so if you have any questions just shoot them a message.

Autumn Loves Adidas Superstar Snake Skin

This autumn is all about animal print.

From subtle snakeskin, to faux fur, to a hint of leopard… getting out those animal prints to layer up has never been so current.

Keeping it subtle and chic is key to wearing animal print in a stylish yet sophisticated way.

I love a little print in my daily ensemble… making sure I am not bringing SCARY SPICE to the scene!

I am always looking for the perfect trainer which allows be to walk my commute with ease, still look stylish (you know the suits I mean who pair a tailored suit with all number of atrocities of footwear choices) and allow me to go from work to play without having to carry a change of clothes.

Well my newest kick haul has included the perfect trainer for this:  adidas Superstar snake sneaker bringing together my love of print with a smart casual style

These little beauties can be mixed in with your work outfit to give you a cool style to walk to work in and something you can hit the after-work drinks with while still maintaining effortless chic in your work clothes. Gone are the days of carrying two bags – one for your work garms and the other for the after.

The gold and textured pattern refashion these sneakers into a stylish shoe. Paired with some gold accessories and in a smart black ensemble, the sneaker becomes a smart casual addition to your outfit.

Think over sized blazers

Fall/Autumn in my Adidas ZX Flux Xeno

Back to life… back to reality!

Well not really but it is September and that means one thing for most of us… Summer is over and it is back to school, university and knuckling down for Financial Quarter 2 at work!

Now just because you are back to the grind you can start slacking on style!

Black is very much Back for this season! Yes yes yes I know I pretty much wear black all the time but this time I am funking it up with some sneaky flash style!

Black sneakers can often be a little bit boring… however… add some cool flash effect on the side and now you are talking my language!

I have been loving the new black sneaker range at Footlocker! In particular the Adidas ZX Flux Xeno range. The XENO transforms under bright direct lights, resulting in a exciting display of colour, not a million miles away from the sheen when light hits petroleum

  There new ZX Flux range looks completely black to the naked eye – but once you shine a flash on it – the lines reflect right back at you!

It takes a normal sneaker and transforms it to an A/W15 must- have!

The ZX Flux black on black takes the reflector to a whole new level (below)

I WANT THEM ALL! 

These are perfect for that unique look for any all black outfit. They are practical too if you fancy a late night run – as lights from cars will reflect off them!

Or if you are like me and are just sat taking thousands of picture lying upside down with your legs in the air with the lights off playing with the reflection…!
