15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 15



This last look is my most comfortable fashionable look with a loose pink shirt and skinny jeans. The embellishment and metal detail in the outfit gives it a slight edge while maintaining a mellow, lounge wear look. I'm a huge fan of embellishment on clothes and bags as they add dimension to an outfit and a sense of glamour. The shoes were an absolute bargain (£8 on sale) as well as super stylish too.

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 14




This look has a vintage feel to it; especially with the leafy skirt and stained bracelet. Since I don't wear actual vintage, this is the closest I can get to putting together a look that has an aged look to it. In this look I've shown that putting two different patterns together can clash but look good together at the same time.

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 13

Earring Detail...


Today's look is simple, summery with only delicate jewel detail on my top and earrings. The flat gladiators with cropped chinos gives a summery feel and a toned down tribal look (with metal detail on the shoes).

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 12


Ok... so not the best pictures in the world...I know!
This look is inspired by the animal prints trend for summer. When I first found this dress it, it seemed unsual but that's kind of why I liked it; it was a weird animal print embedded into a fadded floral print!! I like subtle animal prints a lot as they don't look tacky and too bright (although bright tribal prints are really 'in' for the summer). A pair of high gladiator heels and simple and cute jellewery to accompany!

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 11




Sorry people...kinda missed a day :S but Oh Well...
This look is a simple cross-over trend between colour blocking and the 80's style. The brightly coloured crop top with fitted jeggings and heels give an 80's feel to the outfit. The chained handbag with contrasts the top and the rest of the outfit gives a classic feel to the look. I never usually wear this handbag out much- it's actually one of my first designer items- a BCBG Max Azria that I bought in the US a few years ago. It's vintage look allows it to go well with almost any classy-urban outfit.

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 10


To be honest, when I put this outfit together today I didn't really have a style or a trend in mind but looking at these pictures now I am kind of reminded of Serena's style from gossip girl; the classic urban-chic girl with the denim mini skirt and head 'piece'. Sometimes dark colours like blue and maroon go incredibly well together and bring together a sharp and classy feel.

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 9



This outfit is inspired by the nautical trend in an unconventional sense. The chained pattern on my t-shirt and the button detail (which isn't shown very well in these photos) on my skirt add a subtle nautical expression. The look is also spring-inspired with mellow colour tones. Mixing up and clashing patterns is also a very in trend for this summer although I've only done it very refined way. Also, it's almost a head to toe Topshop outfit!! :S

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 8



Another Winter meets Spring outfit where I've gone back to Black. The only colour in this outfit is the colour knitted scarf to bring the outfit life. An outfit which I consider classic and urban-esque. A clutch goes well with such an outfit as it adds the finishing touch!

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 7



Three Words; 
COLOUR BLOCKING SUCCESS!!

Finally, I found a few things in my wardrobe that I could put together and support the trend with. Although, this outfit is more office-y and less casual, it stands out and makes a statement. I stepped it up a notch with bright Barry M nail varnish and purple and blue eyes!

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 6

And the shoes...

I would describe this look as urban chic with an urban-ish bod-con dress that is plain with military boots. The loose, flowy crop top over a dress is my go-to look when I don't want to look impeccable. It's a scruffy, comfy, effortless urban look that is practical for moving around the city as well looking timelessly stylish. You could say that this look is not really in-season but it's one of those outfits that can fit into any season as it can be tailored to enhance different shapes and styles. If you wanted to go for a more bohemian twist, you could add a bunch of bangles and some dangle-y earrings. If you wanted to look more edgy, a leather jacket would do the job.

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 5


So I tried the whole colour blocking thing again combining it in a more casual style with a t-shirt. I'm starting to really love bright colours and clashing them together in a more sophisticated way but I think I need to build up my wardrobe with more bright colours to experiment more!! It's interesting to clash a white/back tee with a vibrant colour like peachy orange; at first it looks unsettling but then it seems to look very urban classic with the help of the green belt detail and chandelier earrings. Also the skirt was a bargain; £4!!! It also looks like I'm really short eventhough I'm not LOL!

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 4

And the shoes..

This look is sort of inspired by Alexa Chung's style. Although I think that she's a little over-hyped as a fashion icon, I do like some of her outfits. This outfit is inspired by her boyish-fierce style with leather jackets and boots. Leather combined with a khaki lace mini dress gives off a military edge. For what I feels like the first time ever, I felt that this look needed no jewellery to complete it as it enhances the fierce, boyish look. These are my favourite boots; they're great for more mannish, rock-chic looks as well as more feminine, girly outfits.

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 3



I'm haven't exactly been a fan of colour blocking or bright coloured clothing most of my life so when I wanted to create an outfit with several colours, I found it difficult to find much around my wardrobe. Finally found an orange/red top with cut-off sleeves to work my look around. I think I managed to create a look that speaks the culture of central Europe (partularly Spain) with bright colour against black and Chinos; which are casual but classic. Brown Gladiator Heels add a summery touch.    

What do you think?

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 2



I've gone for a spring inspired look with lighter colours dominating the outfit. Soft Florals and lighter tones cross over into a more edgier, rough look with scruffy studded boots and ripped, faded shorts. I also added a pop of colour with the bright flower clips in my hair just to make it stand out.This look is partly inspired by Erdem's Spring/Summer collection with a creamy floral top combined with lace and partly mixed in with Winter's grungy/mannish trend. My outfits tend to have different dimensions of style all mixed in together; girlish charm, rough and scruffy and feminine.

15 Days, 15 Looks: DAY 1

In the day...
And back at home/halls...
And the shoes..

This outfit has a kind of eastern/oriental influence with the silk patterned dress and a patterned, bohemian bag. The khaki loose knit and grey flats tone the look down for a casual day out to Uni/School or wherever. Grey is a great colour for casual flats; they go with almost any outfit and aren't too dull and cliche like black. It seems a little awkward and clashing to put knitwear with a silk dress but that's the whole point of it and I think it works. You could say this look kind of represents a Winter-meets-Spring with the printed silk and cardigan which is perfect for this time of year.

15 Days, 15 Looks: My Personal Style Challenge!

With a little inspiration from Vogue.com and other fashion bloggers, I came up with this idea to feature myself 15 Daytime/Evening looks day to day. Each day I'll wear a different look with some current fashion inspiration behind it. Some of these looks may have the same items featured a few times but will be incorporated differently with the style of the looks.
So....
15 DAYS, 15 LOOKS = My Personal Style Challenge


Follow me on twitter for updates on looks, similar clothes/styles.
And more importantly follow this blog, comment and make suggestions, let me know what you think!!
