Sometimes I think I should just call this blog how to wear blazers and be done with it. I just can’t help myself. In my defence, I don’t have a tweed blazer in my collection (ok, ok I don’t have a double-breasted long version) so as soon as I saw this one, it had to be mine. The navy and red tartan print is timeless and chic but also incredibly versatile. Personally, I love it with denim but would also wear it with a plain black mini skirt, or a pair of black leather/pleather trousers.




Out of all my other blazers, this one is the boldest and most striking. I could wear it to an interview or formal meeting, and then for a night out on the town, depending on how I style it. The wool blend and gold button detailing technically makes it more of an Autumn/Winter staple, but I think it can work all year round with the British weather. With this in mind, here’s how I’ve styled my blazer in three different ways:

As long as you get a size that allows you to button it up (and you have a decent bra), the tweed blazer on its own works great. This would  also good look good with a pair of smart leather trousers and high heeled pumps.


Nothing like a crisp white shirt and a pair of jeans to change the game completely. Interview, meeting, conference, meeting the parents or just being a boss bitch. It's all about the white shirt with the tweed blazer. 


If you have to wear something underneath and the white shirt is too formal, why not try with a plain t-shirt, tank top or blouse. I prefer black but you can go with any colour that compliments this particular tweed blazer (e.g. navy or red).

And so …the UK lockdown begins.  If I’m honest, I am actually still in a bit of shock. As I try and get my head around life in COVID19 world, I’ve decided to lose myself in fun creative projects as well as having a clearout! Pretty sure I’m not the only one who has been putting off clearing out their closet so now ladies and gents, we really have no excuse. Having a wardrobe clearout is a bit like detox; eliminating disastrous fashion choices, saying goodbye to the dress size that once was, and decluttering pieces you haven’t worn for months (sometimes even years). One of the things I also love is finding clothes I'd forgotten about like this lovely silk chiffon blouse from Pretty Little Thing.
I found this on ASOS and when I saw it, I loved the colour, balloon sleeve and chiffon fabric but had no expectations. When it arrived and I tried it on, I loved it. The style is cropped with a plunging neckline so it’s not something many could wear on its own. Luckily, I had a baby blue lace bodysuit  from  I Saw it First which worked nicely underneath. I think this is the ideal Spring to Summer top because though it has long sleeves, it’s made with a light, floral, pastel fabric. For this look, it’s all about the high waisted jeans but it would equally work with a maxi skirt, white trousers or even as a cover up beachwear item. Thankfully I’ve discovered some great lighting in my balcony so it photographs well. When we finally come out of lockdown, this will definitely be the piece I make good use of this Summer.

A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend at one of my best friend’s wedding … in Morocco! Not only was it one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to, the Moroccan experience was epic. My friend is British Pakistani and her husband is Luxembourgish, so the wedding was a stunning, bright, colourful melting pot of cultures, and it was just beautiful.
As my friend wore her bridal Lehenga, she told all her girlfriends that they could optionally wear traditional lehenga as well and I jumped at the chance. She took me to the famous Southall Market, which full of clothing stores with beautiful traditional Asian gowns, dresses, fabrics and accessories. As green is my colour, we decided on this stunning beaded green and gold lehenga, which I had to get taken in slightly to fit like a glove.
On the day, there was a big group of us in traditional attire and we felt like princesses. My friend looked absolutely stunning in her hand made rose gold bridal ensemble that when I first saw her, I cried like a baby.The wedding was spectacular. Rich hues, luxe gold and red backdrops in a beautifully lit whimsical venue. It was like were in a movie scene when we first walked in. We partied the night away on the biggest dancefloor I’ve ever seen and I didn’t change my outfit till much later in the evening. My Lehenga got a good wear and great photo ops with the rest of my friends. I will definitely be wearing this again and loved every moment of being in it for a day.
