New in : The sandals dreams are made of

Sandals : Zara (sale!)

Bit of a quick one today, buuut as I have started spending a bit of money on new clothes again, my blog will probably benefit a little from these purchases...

So as some as you may already know, Zara is on top form this season, and these sandals just further that statement - priced at a whopping £4.99. I literally can't get enough of them! The khaki neoprene-y straps, the Dr Marten esque sole. What more could you want in a sandal? I think these could be a top contender in overtaking my Birks in wearability for my next holiday, next week!

What I've been pinning...

A little collection of my favourite images found on Pinterest this month. There's not really much of a theme, other than I love each for an individual reason. I spend far too long each night endlessly scrolling, but it's suchhh an amazing source of daily inspiration for me! You can follow me in real-time pinning mode here.

Bricks

Tee : American Apparel

Shorts : Cheap Monday (old)

Trainers : Adidas Stan Smith

12 photos?! This might be my longest outfit post yet. Kind of proud of that little achievement. I usually take about 150, and delete around 149. I also think I may have found my little photographic spot around the house, being this big, beautiful brick wall. Just look at those bricks. Thank you, brick wall, for solving all my backdrop probz. Oh and look, I've got links to (some of) my outfit. How very bloggable of me.

I love a good basic outfit, and this is exactly that. American Apparel tees are the shiz and I steal them off my boyfriend as often as I can. Usually without him noticing. They're just so comfy and the right amount of oversized. These Cheap Monday shorts are pretty much just boxers, but I'm not complaining...

"Fashion fades, style is eternal"

The Bowes Museum in County Durham last month revealed their latest exhibition - Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal - which is running up until the 25th October. In celebration of the launch, Farfetch have set myself, and other fashion bloggers, the challenge of creating a classic Saint Laurent look, centred around the iconic smoking jacket - a piece that I think just about everybody longs to someday own!

I tried to create an outfit representative of myself, and give the smoking jacket more of a casual edge, rather than dressing it up, as that's just not my style. To be honest with you, I used the belt as the focal point of this whole look! A oversized shirt and black denims is my go-to, not-doing-anything-today style, so these pieces were essential. I added the gold boots because, well, look at them! This is a look that I would wear over and over again, something which, I guess is my classic look.

I think the beauty of Saint Laurent as a brand is the simplicity of their pieces. The entire presence of the brand echoes that of Parisian street style, and allows us mere mortal Brits to dress as if we were as cool as the French. For me, Saint Laurent is the epitome of style, and as the saying goes: Style is eternal.

You can find these pieces and many, many more Saint Laurent beauties over at Farfetch. Also, if you'd like to find out more info about the exhibition, you can do so over at the Bowes Museum website.

50 (5) shades of grey (white)

Birkenstock : Weekday

Zip Tee : & Other Stories

Flares : Monki

Raffia Skirt : Topshop

Cord Shirt Dress : ASOS

Wahey! I haven't done one of these in a while. I think because I'm actually that skint, I've weaned myself off browsing ASOS on the hour, every hour. To be honest with you, I don't wear a lot of white, as I'm prone to spilling things on myself pretty much everytime I eat or drink something. Yet more and more, I find myself being drawn to white denim and white corduroy in particular. I'm literally staring at this Topshop skirt like the love-heart-eyed emoji. While the weather is still reasonably warm (for England), I'm very much tempted to indulge in each and every one of these pieces!
