The Come Back of The Birkenstock

Recently I was going through a seasonal 'clear out the wardrobe and restock' kinda moment, when I contemplated throwing away my Birkenstocks that I have had now for about 5 years. I couldn't honestly tell you the last time I wore them as all you would see me in last summer would have been my white or black converse, or some form of strappy sandals.

Last week whilst heading back home on the train I picked up The Stylist, (a well known free fashion magazine given to commuters) which detailed that the BIRKS ARE BACK. With all the chunky ankle boots and sandals that are in this season I felt kinda stupid that I was about to throw them away. I have now recently stumbled across the ASOS website which has a whole page dedicated to the Birkenstocks. So hurry up and dig out your vintage birkys or buy some brand new sparkly ones because they are back!

Asos - £44.95 Rio 2 Strap White Sandals

Im teaming mine with a pair of skinnys and this Kimono from Oasis, by wearing my hair in loose curls with a chunky plait I can create the ultimate boho chic look.

Oasis - £40

3 Pairs of Perfection

You don't want these shoes. You NEED them.

Im not really sure why, but all of a sudden I have had a complete shoe craze! The three famous styles this season are loafers, ankle boots and strappy heels.

Strappy Heels - Perfect for the modern tailoring look

Ankle Boots - style with black tights, leather jacket and casual dress

Loafers - chuck on a pair of jeans for a casual look

Here is how i wear my version of the ankle boot!

Long sleeved turtle neck, Levi Jeans rolled up & a chunky brown belt.

Purchased in March from H&M £29.99

Here are all my shoes that i am wearing lately. I tend to go for colours of neutral, black or white. This way i can pretty much wear any outfit I like and really get my monies worth!

Not enough feet

Shoe Forecasting - Looking into the future I see the slip on trainer becoming popular to either just chuck on with a pair of jeans or with a cute casual dress. The flat wedge is another that I can see becoming really popular. I particularly like the fact that everyone is stepping (excuse the pun) out of their comfort zone and slipping into some white shoes! I think the flat wedges in particular should be worn in white.

Asos - £40.00

Make those toes smile! Keep in touch for a shoe styling video coming shortly.

The braids craze.

London Fashion Week was a great platform to show dem braidz!!! They graced the catwalks in many different shapes, sizes and styles. Braids can add a really feminine touch to any look and are very bohemian. Here are a few of my favourites from LFW. 

This then inspired me to look elsewhere for inspiration to create different looks... 

I really like the fact that this hairstyle could really jazz up and outfit for a casual look or even for work. 

At a glance this hairstyle is very confusing but is so effective. It is done by leaving hair out of the bun around the whole head, and then the inner part of the bun... This is then joined together in a French plait style to create the effect. To complete tuck hair under the bun and secure safely with a grip.

I would absolutely love to be able to do this one on myself! 

A small plait under the bun with a few accessories can really add that extra something to an outfit. 

Lastly the waterfall braid, usually this is done around the head in a straight line, I liked this one a lot as it goes down the head diagonally in a relaxed way. After being inspired by different looks, I gave it a go combining a few!

ZARA.

Latest outfit building for ZARA:

Zara has really stepped it up this season from their usual well fitted work wear. They appear to have more on trend formal pieces, this enables a lot more people to wear their clothing.

Here i have compiled a few outfits and ideas from their latest collections.

LEFT OUTFIT: Your go to strappy top, you do not realise how much you will wear, not good for ladies with broad shoulders, a sheer nude colour is great for the summer to mix and match your outfits, looks great with midi skirt & leather jacket also. CENTRE OUTFIT: the mixed material jackets are very on trend right now, this one is great to jazz up any outfit and make it look a bit more chic. Can be worn with both dress and heels.  RIGHT OUTFIT: Canary Yellow, this colour is a must for the summer. Yellow suits mostly olive and dark skin tones, This structured dress can be worn day AND night. making the most out of your money and less washing!! In the day team with flat pumps/ strappy sandels, (if cold can wear 40 denier tights & pumps) with either a denim jacket or thick knitted jumper/cardi. At night team outfit with shoes below, leather jacket, and a big chunky necklace. Ultimate chic!

These shoes are your key summer shoes to get you through the season (team with all above outfits) , they are NOT kitten heels so dont be afraid! left & centre shoe are strappy court shoes, look great with pretty much any outfit (couldnt resist had to buy a nude pair myself) team these with a pair of jeans, strappy top and a chunky necklace and your ready for a night out! However if you have wide feet these are not the shoes for you. The shoes on the right hand side are court shoes, (higher than the kitten) also looked great even just teamed with a pair of jeans. The must have bag at the moment is the large shopper, ladies the bigger the bag the smaller we look!

2013 brings statement necklaces, Long skinny chicks you can wear your chunky necklaces (left and right) shorter ladies wear the long pendants, this will make your body appear longer. All these necklaces will help build your outfit and make you a bit more trendy!
