At the Pier


Last weekend was a strange one. I was only in London (for an entire day) on Saturday and due to a lot of errands I had planned for the day, my recreational time was severely limited. Luckily, I was in central London (a very sunny Central London might I add!) for one of the projects planned for the day, so the day didn't turn out to be too shabby.

The obligations of the day required me to wear something comfortable and French-inspired. At the same time, I had to ensure I didn't melt down in this once-in-a-blue-moon heat wave in London. Nothing says comfort and France more than my simple H&M striped top with gold buttons. Instead of pairing this frequently worn top with my usual black capris, I went for a red pair that I had never worn (mainly because I had put on a bit of weight and they wouldn't fit properly, lawl!). The result was a nautical look, hence why we chose to shoot the outfit at the pier in between London Bridge and Charing Cross.

Finishing off the look are a plain pair of black flats as well as a minimal (and gorgeous!) black clutch I thrifted from a local charity shop. I swear Zara had something similar in brown this season. So simple, so me.

As usual, garment details and lookbook.nu hype button can be found at the end of the post.

Quick housekeeping: I opened a new blog called 'Boffism Fitness' in which I'm going to share the fitness-loving side of myself. You can find this new venture of mine over here.

Secret Garden


Okay so I might have been cheesily waiting for some Spring weather in London to wear a pair of floral pants. Guilty as charged.

Yesterday was a lovely vintage shopping day in Bricklane, and before heading out for a pizza in the London Bridge area, we decided to shoot a few photos of my brand new trousers from H&M. I never managed to find them anywhere here in London or in Brussels, but it was my lucky week this time round and I found them...on sale!

I also managed to get a free haircut after being spotted by a random Toni & Guy apprentice in Oxford Street who needed a model for his exam. So yeah, the fringe is back.

Cheap and Cheerful

After looking cheeky in yesterday's outfit post, today I look incredibly cheerful in one of my favourite coats. One of my aims here in London is to snap as many of my outfits as possible not only because it allows me to show you the lovely places I get to see, but also because I know many of you are interested in personal style! 

It's quite cold in London today. We were expecting some snow but it failed to materialise...yet. Thankfully I spent most of the day working on an article, as well as brainstorming some ideas for YouTube. 

Today's combination is a clear example of how advantageous it is to own versatile, classic pieces. I had no idea of what I was going to wear before heading out the door, so I decided to layer on some of my basics since they always seem to go well together. My Zara dress is a staple, but it's far too lightweight for London weather. That H&M coat was the perfect addition for some extra warmth, and while my Peacocks scarf doesn't really help me with my teeth-chattering problem, it does add a little pop of colour.
