DOUBLE DENIM | CAN IT WORK?

Can double denim work? The answer is yes. I'm surprised myself at that answer, as I would have normally shy away at the even the thought of it. Surely I could never pull it off? It wouldn't suit me. It couldn't....But I was suitably proved wrong as I paired these pieces together, when the denim is a slightly off colour to the other, and if it has a different texture (e.g. ripped) it can work. I have always loved denim, it's just something that never really goes away in the fashion world, it always re-appears in one form or another, whether it's at a catwalk show or on the streets. I just never really thought of putting both together before.....

MONOCHROME GRIDS | MONKI

Who said grids were out? As of late, I have once again become obsessed with the geometric monochrome style; reviving it through these slick dungarees from Monki. As it's my last week here up in Newcastle until I leave to go back home for the Summer, I decided to take a stroll around Jesmond Dene with my good friend Holly (she also has a blog, you can check it out here). I styled these smart dungarees with a plain causal tee and loafers, as to not distract too much attention away from the pattern that's already going on.....

DRESSING FOR THE OCCASION | RALPH LAUREN

Dressing in high-end clothing for special occasions doesn't need to be scary. When I was asked to take a look at the dresses section from the Ralph Lauren website, I was actually taken back as to how nice they genuinely were. I'm not going to lie, I don't normally tend to look at designer products, but I was pleasantly surprised. The dresses were all well structured, had great colour schemes and I already pictured in my head as to what event I could wear each one to. So, I figured why not write about it?
In this post, I've combined some of my favourite dresses from designer Ralph Lauren into 3 key looks, 'Monochrome Wedding', 'Garden Party' and 'Summer in the City'....

APRIL FAVOURITES | BEAUTY & FASHION

This month I've been so busy with my last month at University of second year, so I've barely had time to register what I've been loving (other than constantly browse ASOS as a way of short term sweet escapism). Yet, with always being on the go, and wanting to stay comfortable / fashionable in a rushed state, these key items have helped seen me through many a nervous breakdown! From beauty to fashion, these simple products have been my everyday essentials....

FRIDAY HIGH-STREET WISHLIST | MAY

I have been waiting for this day for so long - it's technically my first day of Summer! This year is absolutely flying by to say it's already May. I have officially broken up from Uni until September (woo!) so my regular blogging routine will take place once again. I thought I would kick things off in true style, of course with a high-street wishlist. I desperately want to treat myself after all the hard work that I've been putting in for all my deadlines over the past month (hence the lack of posts) so I came up with these mixtures of cool coloured tones, creamy beige's and a dash of pale grey. Admittedly the majority are from River Island, but that's purely because they have come out on top this week.....

PETER PAN COLLAR BLOUSE : TOPSHOP : £36


SLEEVELESS TRENCH : RIVER ISLAND : £65

Lots of love,

Hannah xoxo
