CHUNKY SANDAL EDIT

It’s time to apologise to all of our parents for the times we told them not to wear that pair of chunky sandals on holiday and particularly NOT with socks as let’s face it, we are totally in to them now! The chunky sandal is more on trend that ever right now as the need[…]

THE H&M DRESS WE HAVE ON REPEAT!

H&M has most definitely been one of our favourite high street stores to shop in recently. They currently have some super affordable options including some amazing tops for £9.99 and pretty dresses for £19.99. They also have a really good knack of picking up on the trends and giving many of the items that extra[…]

The range of colours that they[…]

TOP TRENCH COATS

A great trench coat is classic and timeless. They are perfect for pretty much most seasons and therefore you can get so much wear out of them. Recently we have found ourselves being unsure of what to wear and saying to each other ‘Let’s just go casual but with a trench’. You don’t have to[…]

THEE SPRING SUMMER SHOE

It looks like the shoe we will all be wearing this spring/summer is the ‘thong’ or ‘flip flop’ style heel. Chic, understated and most importantly comfortable it seems this shoe is destined to be taking over from where strappy sandal of last year left off.  A team that are always in the know of ‘what’s[…]

PUFF SLEEVE PERFECTION

‘The 80s called and they want their sleeves back’- Well I’m afraid we are keeping them! Puff sleeves are a huge trend right now. They add an extra wow factor to an outfit and are also super flattering often making your waist look smaller against those big puffs. We love all the Dynasty vibes they[…]

ITEMS THAT LOOK DESIGNER BUT CAN BE FOUND ON THE HIGH STREET

Sometimes you ask a friend where they got something from and they reply with ‘a little vintage shop on my trip to X’ and our faces drop. There are however those other rare occasions when we ask someone for the info on the clothing they are wearing and they reveal they found it in one[…]

WHAT TO TAKE IN YOUR CARRY ON

CLIPS CLIPS CLIPS

Probably the thing we are getting most questions about on Instagram currently, is our Hair Clips and how to style them. Firstly, on the styling front, all we can really say here is pile them all on! Any shape or size mix them all together and it will look fab! We love how a simple[…]

CPHFW OUTFITS

WHAT WE LEARNT FROM THE SCANDIS

Day 1 of Copenhagen Fashion week and we were seated for our first show. Usually it is a known fact that is it rude to stare but on this occasion we both decided that it was allowed and we had absolutely no shame. Every single person coming in the door to take their seats had[…]

FOUR AW BOOT TRENDS TOPSHOP HAVE COVERED

When it gets to this time of year I think an ankle boot is everyone’s go to shoe. It can be smart, casual, worn with tights, jeans day or night. Now, I don’t want you to think we have been lazy by not venturing any further than the Topshop website but we have to say[…]

BROWN HEAD TO TOE LIKE A PRO

The leaves are officially on the floor and we want to wrap ourselves up in all the cosyness. Even more so than other Aumtum/Winters when we’ve all been banging on about ‘autumnal shades’ 2019 is all about the brown. Chloe is a prime example of a brand who has killed the head to toe brown[…]

Retaining that post Fashion Month Sparkle with Gola x Swarovski!

Its that week, the week after Fashion Month. Our bodies are drained and our feet are sore. But the show must go on and despite wanting to sleep for a week, we have to be out and about for meetings, shoots and getting on top of our email inbox. This is definitely not a week[…]

Styling colour into your Autumn Wardrobe

Its that time again, that long hot summer we had seems like a fading memory and we are starting to phase longer sleeves, trousers, and Autumn accessories into our daily outfits again to keep warm.

CLASHING ANIMAL PRINTS WITH KAREN MILLEN

It’s that time of year where we all have something to go to! A wedding, summer BBQ, family birthday, Ascot, Wimbledon or whatever takes you fancy.

PARIS HOTSPOTS

SHOP AW18 RUNWAY TRENDS FOR LESS!

We still remember our first ever Fashion week and the moment the lights went up, the music went on and the models started walking down the runway. As cringe as it seems, it was such an exciting moment and it feels just the same every time we go to see a show now. After going[…]

OUR LFW STREET STYLE

And just like that another season of LFW is over! One of our favourite aspects of fashion week is the street style that fills our social media feeds and we really enjoy putting our own outfits together. It is a chance to wear something that truly reflects your style with a bit of added extra[…]

USING VALENTINE’S DAY AS AN EXCUSE

Valentine’s Day is upon us and the question I am asking is why are there so many negative connotations around it? So you are single? So what! We just love making a meal out of every occasion (quite literally) so use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to do exactly what you want to do! Personally[…]

Layering Spring Maxi Dresses

With snow at our feet but Spring style in the shops we wanted to get you all in the mood for SS18 by layering some Spring pieces that we have spotted in the shops recently with warmer pieces. We are huge fans of layering and in particular putting a pair of jeans under maxi dresses. This is[…]

NEW YORK NEW YORK!

So I just got back from a long weekend New York and although it was the first trip in a while that I didn’t do with Olivia I thought it would be worth putting a blog post together of some recommendations. Before I went I personally was googling ‘best places to go in NYC’, ‘best[…]

Beating those January blues…

Hello Yellow: 10 yellow finds under £30 that we need and you do too!

It makes so much sense for yellow to be the colour of summer, but it is often overlooked in favour of pastel pink, blue, or brighter colours such as coral and turquoise that look great against a sunny climate, cool blue water, and a tan! Not this summer, 2017 has seen yellow having a real[…]

Stripe Right… our latest fashion obsession!

Its no secret to anyone that follows us on social media that we have a little but of a thing for stripes right now.

London’s most Instagrammable Cafe…?!

We have been craving that retro Miami palm tree and soft pink combination of hues ever since we bid farewell to the Beverly Hills Hotel for the last time in a while back in April, so when we got wind of “possibly the most instagrammable cafe in London” (according to The Metro, and yes, instagrammable is[…]

Batiste Brilliant Blonde(s)!

But MY hair won’t do that…!

Pretty much everyone wants the hair that they don’t have right? So whilst I’m always envious of Olivia’s hair…

Working With A Sibling

One of the most frequently asked questions we find that people ask us when we meet new faces through Amelia Jane London, is “how do you find it working with a sibling?!” Most people recoil at the thought of working with their sibling, and recount mini horror stories about any close working relationship they have[…]

Classic Clothing v Trend Pieces

I’m sure we all remember our parents telling us that if we just spent a little more on classic items of clothing then they would last us longer. Well, as with most things that our parents tell us they are probably right! You can’t beat a great white shirt, a classic pair of jeans and[…]
