Baker Boy

This trend steal from Primark is the perfect little Baker Boy number... or News Boy... or Paper Boy...

At £6, the black cap comes in a felt like fabric with embroidered button details. There's no denying that it's a must have for the winter wardrobe, especially when winter wind embraces your bad hair day. Hats can be hard, so a natural down-do or a low ponytail, is essential to work this style.

I was super gutted not to cop the lust-worthy maroon Yeezy Calabasas Track Pants, so when I spotted these girly versions on PLT I just had to grab them! (Now on offer for £10😅) With a slimming high waist and flared leg, these affordable trousers look fab everyday with a boyish tee or at night with a hot crop.

Keeping cosy in this vintage coat, discovered in Antwerp, I've paired hues with my trusty Puma Fenty's.

FILA Collabs

Sporty but chic and no longer chavvy (think early 2000's) FILA have totally revamped their brand appearance (to me anyway!). With collabs left right and centre, here are the deets on the latest ones and my favourite ones.

1. PATTA x FILA

The super cool Disruptor sneaker not only comes in a sleek velour, feminising the chunky silhouette but soon to be released are the PATTA pair, a Dutch streetwear brand. In a cream leather named 'Antique White' this retro type trainer looks really minimal considering the bulky-ness features of the shoe.

FAVE FEATURE👉 The hand written like embroidery on the heel with PATTA's script logo.

2. Kinetics x FILA

If the Disruptor velour sneakers didn't satisfy your velvet needs then behold this cosy, confident tracksuit. Revamping the vintage, boyish 96 GL is Tokyo based brand Kinetics. FILA's classic logo is placed on the front, back and leg in a luxurious gold stitching.

FAVE FEATURE👉 Suede detailing! Who knew the two fabrics could complement each other so well, especially on a tracksuit!???

3. FILA x Urban Outfitters

An exclusive collection with plenty of winter offerings has been super popular online, especially this cute cropped Teddy hoodie coming in various colour ways. Based on the classic colours of the italian brand logo; red, navy and white, the collection mostly evolves around 90's archive like sportswear looks such as tees, puffa jackets and track pants at affordable prices.

FAVE FEATURE👉 Popper track pants have to be my weakness, effortlessly cool and super comfy.

Off-White™ Latest

With collab after collab, lust worthy new season buys releasing constantly and recently being named one of the worlds top 3 brands, I thought I'd take a break from OOTD's and do a little wish list/key piece review type spiel on my current brand obsession; Off-White™. Lets go...

1. THE INDUSTRIAL BELT

Definitely most popularly seen on the FW streetwear scene, this super cool belt can be worn around the waist or hips. Theres no right or wrong way to wear with edgy looks being spotted on top of an oversized hoodie or to tie in a masculine blazer. Coming in various colour ways this seatbelt style retail price starts at £108.

S'S TIPS👉 Keep checking for a hopeful restock of the Mini in Yellow; £35 cheaper than the regular size and still gives the classic look.

2. THE BINDER CLIP BAG

For sure another blogger's fave, this cute bag comes in soft velvet textures to sophisticated croc skin, featuring the iconic industrial logo strap and of course, the binder clip buckle feature. The double strap adds another element of uniqueness, if there wasn't enough already!

S'S TIPS👉The pretty floral pattern version is dropping soon, inspired by the SS18 collection, pre-order asap!

3. THE LEATHER JACKET

The sleekest biker jacket around right now totally states the obvious with BIKER printed down the arm. Absolutely love this feature, staying on brand as for example; the website is titled WEBSITE... how does it work so well!?! With silver hardware and a detachable leather belt, this is available to pre-order too.

S'S TIPS👉Wear with matching leather trousers to fully embrace the biker look if you dare, or wear over the shoulders with a feminine lace dress to create the perfect contrast.

Silk Biker

Know when you become so obsessed with a new item of clothing that you basically just live in it? Regardless of whether it suits you/your outfit or whether its appropriate weather... Yep, this lil jacket.

I had it in my wish list for ageeeees and at last moved it to my basket. This silky pastel almost mint green? Biker style jacket was a Missguided winner, although as always I tend to find their sizing a bit misleading. This being an 8 (my regular size) is pretty oversized.

Jacket; Missguided. Dress; Jigsaw. Boots; Asos. Bag; Vivienne Westwood X LFW.

Layered on top of this amazing quality Jigsaw polo neck dress from their AW17 collection creates a more Autumnal look for a Spring jacket.

My new Asos high knee boots had to make an appearance regardless of how un-comfy they are... they're just too pretty to part with.

Boyfriend Blazer

A boyfriend's wardrobe that you can 'borrow' from? (And when I say borrow I mean borrow and never return...) Yes please.

Embracing the Prince of Wales check trend, I thought I'd pinch this blazer for the afternoon.

Chucked over basic Mom jeans with a contrasting feminine lace top, this oversized fit (an XXL😅) does the job nicely. I'm loving the look of scrunched up thick sleeves at the moment after being inspired by Emma Hill's Blazer Collection.

Trying to match the oyster vintage like buttons with a pair of off white boots; a Zara sale steal that I actually get good use out of. Does anyone else just panic with overwhelmed-ness in the Zara sale and buy such random things that never see the light of day? Guilty.

Note to self: Control yourself @ next Zara sale.

Glitter Green Trousers

fashion 18:03

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the glittery trousers trend.

I am in love!!!!! After Kourtney Kardashian posting the now famous H&M two piece it is fair to say the outfit went viral.

Selling out almost immediately online, I was almost prepared to pay double on depop/ebay... I thought my hopes were ruined until I mentioned to my friend away to Barcelona to have a looky in the H&M there... and behold she found them. (Thank you Raegs xxx) Excited was an understatement.

Coat; Monki. T Shirt; Mike the Bear. Bag; Zara. Trainers; Converse.

Firstly, the comfort! I expected them to be itchy due to the lurex style fabric but they're lined. The colour! They go with almost anything? Thanks to colour clashing trends almost anything is in style. These are the perfect sports luxe trouser from a night out to a hoodie day they more than sufficiently do.
