How to Wear: Grey Acid-Wash Jeans

Hello my lovely readers! How are you all? Acid-wash has always been a favourite look for me, from jeans to denim jackets. So in todays post I have decided to put together a few ideas of how to wear grey acid-wash jeans! 

This is a fab way to wear denim-on-denim! It is a casual look featuring a H&M leather jacket and skinny jeans. Pair with black cut-out boots, plain handbag and RayBan aviators it's perfect for Autumn. 

In this set I used a white pair of Superga sneakers, acid wash jeans and a light denim jacket! The 'BEHAVE BERAVE' shirt from Monki pairs the outfit together.



For my last set I've used a leather jacket to keep this look edgy. I also chose a printed t-shirt would pairs nicely with the grey jeans. A cute beanie and sneakers keep this style casual, perfect for running errands! 

Do you like the acid-wash trend? Which look is your favourite? Have you bought anything recently? Let me know in a comment! xxx

Blogger Interview: celiascloset

For my second interview, I chose to get to know Celia from Celiascloset on Tumblr and Wearthestyle on Blogspot. She runs 3 incredible blogs which all show off her incredible style. Below is how the chat with Celia went!

Tell me a little about yourself?

My name is Celia. I’m 15 years old and I live in Southern California! I am a Sophomore in high school currently and I love to travel around the world. My current blogs I run are eleanor-calderstyle.tumblr.com, celiascloset.tumblr.com, and wearthestyle.blogspot.com!

How did you start blogging?

When I was younger (age 7 or so), I always watched disney channel and I was obsessed with the characters sense of style on the shows. I would always google things like “where does Selena Gomez shop?” or "Miley Cyrus style” and I always came across style blogs for celebrities I loved. Early last year, I found out about Eleanor Calder from one of my favourite Tumblrs at the time who was a directioner. Instantly when I saw one of her outfits, I googled where she shops! I came across a style blog on tumblr dedicated to her so I basically kept up with it until they decided to delete. From there, I decided to make my own for Eleanor and it just blew up! I’ve ran that blog since June of last year, then during April of this year, I decided to start my own personal style blog since everyone always said how they liked my style.

What would you say your blog is about?

As for my Eleanor blog, obviously Eleanor and her amazing sense of style and how to achieve inspired, similar, or exact looks of hers! For my personal style blog, it’s about my own style based on what I like to wear, how I feel, etc. I post practically everything on there, like just random stuff talking about how I should start working out (which lasts only one day) down to OOTD's and Polyvore sets. When I began my Blogspot, I expected to be posting things about trends, some OOTD's, and what is going on in the fashion world. But I can already tell you I’ll be posting a lot more inspiration I get from things I see or hear about daily.

How would describe your personal style?

I would describe my personal style as quite casual, easy, chic, but although I do wish I dressed a bit more boho like. Where do you get your inspiration? I get inspiration everywhere. From people I see at school or that I see in my car, literally where ever I go! But I get my main inspiration from everyone I follow on tumblr, Eleanor Calder, Miranda Kerr, Behati Prinsloo, and Danielle Bernstein.

Who are your favourite bloggers?

Danielle Bernstein from weworewhat, Jules from sincerelyjules, Stella from stelladorothy, Laura from Style & Sushi, and Tia from tiasbookofstyle! 


Celia's personal favourite outfit
Name one item in your closet you can’t live without and why?
Definitely my Topshop boots. I wear them everywhere! They’re perfect for any occasion, honestly! They’re the Adonis 2 ankle boots. Long story short, I love them so much I wear them in my sleep. 

What is currently on your wishlist?
A bikini from Triangl swimwear, a jean vest, these adorable H&M leopard shoes, and a leather jacket, of course! 

What trends do you think should never become popular?
Tunics and bell-bottom jeans. But those two together especially would be a train wreck. If it were to ever become a trend, I’ll have to bring garbage bags with neck, arm, and leg holes in them to give to people so I wouldn’t have to look at them.

Favourite Winter Looks

Out of all the seasons Winter is definetly my favourite! Layering and thick clothes are the best parts of Winter and perfect to stay warm. In this post I've narrowed it down to my top 4 outfits with some items which are great for the weather!
Untitled #561
This is probably one of my favourite looks. It's casual yet stylish, the layering and patterns really add to the outfit. I think the colours compliment each other well and it manages to change this basic look into a well put-together outfit. For the shoes, I chose the New Play Converse All Star (in white). They suit the look and bring a casual feel to it. I also chose a shoulder bag with a simple style and a bit of clever detailing.

Untitled #577
For this outfit I chose to go with a cream jumper, maroon coloured leigh jeans and an oversized biker jacket. Chunky sweaters and leather jackets are a perfect combination for the Winter season. Coloured jeans are always a good way to spice up an outfit and still trendy. For accessories, I chose the simple shoulder bag, a basic black tube scarf, a Bloomingdales silver watch and plain ankle boots with buckle detailing. This look is perfect for going out with friends.

This look is what I'd wear for a casual winters day out where it's not too cold! I love the high waisted jeans and simple denim jacket. I chose a basic cream jumper to help tie it together. For accessories, a plain shoulder bag, a black scarf (easy to add or remove), a Marc Jacobs gold watch and Converse. Denim is a great way to a thick coat is too much and you can never go wrong is Converse. This is a great outfit for school too. It has a simple look yet still works well!

Lastly, this is another one of my favourite looks. I really like it because of the mixture of fabrics and colours along with the basic Winter accessories. I really think the denim shirt and brown cable-knit sweater compliment each other and with the addition of a biker jacket, it makes the ultimate outfit. I chose plain jeans to pair with it and a simple shoulder bag. For shoes, I used ankle boots with buckle detailing to keep with the gold buckle of the bag and face of the watch. A beanie or scarf is a simple addition to the outfit. This look is perfect for going out over the weekend or even a nice meal out!

How to Wear: Cut-Out Boots

Hello there! How are you? In todays post I have put together my favourite outfits featuring the currently popular trend of cut-out boots. I am loving some of the designs which are available. Hopefully you'll like these too!


This is one of my favourite looks with cut-out boots. I love the cropped jumper with the high-waisted shorts which are a statement piece. Paired with a Topshop porkie hat and Mulberry Effie satchel, it's a great look for a special occasion!


In this set I've used a vintage camouflage jacket from Owntherunway.com, a simple plain blouse and leather-look jeans. The Advance cut-out boots by Topshop help keep this a trendy look. This is another one of my favourite semi-casual looks.

Grey winter coats are one of my favourite trends this season. This look is perfect for Autumn/Winter weather. I love the contrast of black and white with a grey jacket. 


In my final set I have chose a grey crop jumper and a plain black skirt. I also chose a Topshop popper front boyfriend coat - another large trend for the Winter! Paired with a cute Rag & Bone, Effie satchel and the Topshop advance cut-out boots!

Wardrobe Essentials

Having a wardrobe for all year and all occasions is the perfect way to be ready to create any outfit. I've put together a list of the top things everyone should have in their wardrobe! 

Tops
Basic tees ― Plain shirts are key to any simple outfit. Having a white, grey and black shirt lying around can help bring together any look.
Shirts ― Plaid and denim shirts are perfect for any outfit or as just another layer in the winter weather. 
Blouses ― Chiffon are one of my favourite items. They can glam up an outfit for an occasion or add a classy twist to a causal outfit.
Jumpers/Sweaters ― Oversized and cropped sweaters are perfect for the colder weather where layering is key. They keep you warm and comfortable while still looking your best. With so many different looks it's a must-have for winter!

Jackets

Leather jackets ― The ultimate jacket for every outfit. I class this as a necessity. It's perfect with pretty much everything and can never go out of style.
Denim jackets ― Another basic piece which can really spruce up a wardrobe. With several different styles, it's easy to mix up an outfit with this one item.
Parkas ― Cute and cozy which is perfect in the winter weather. Popular with everyone and easy to style, it is great to wear for those casual days. 
Blazers ― The ultimate way to smarten up a casual outfit. Easy to style for job interview, dinner dates and parties, there is no reason not to have one.
Cardigans ― Great for throwing on in the mild weather. Simple addition but toasty and comfortable! 

Bottoms

Jeans ― The most basic item anyone should have. From plain black to bright patterns, cropped to high-waisted there is so much variety with so many styling options. 
Shorts ― Perfect for the summer heat and can not go wrong. Easy to style and great for casual looks.
Skirts ― Skirts help to flatter anyone and any outfit. Super simple to style in both summer and winter and definitely popular all year round.
Jumpsuits ― Great for those hot days when tight clothes isn't an option. Super airy and a stylish way to keep cool.

Dresses

Little black dress ― Needed for those formal occasions and never goes out of style. 
Maxi dresses ― Perfect for the hotter weather. Needless to say a must have item.
Everyday dresses ― Self explanatory but definetly useful to have around. From short summer dresses to skater dress, they can cover all the bases.

Shoes

Sneakers ― Such as Converse, Keds and Vans. Super comfortable and helps makes outfits look effortless yet still trendy. 
Brogues ― Great for those special occasions and dressing up a casual outfit.
Sandals ― With so many unique styles, it's hard to choose which you can wear for the entire summer. But it's a must have.
Heels ― Necessity for those formal occasions and gatherings.
Boots ― The biggest shoe trend for the entire year. Perfect for the winter weather and even festival outfits. One of the first things you should look for. 

Accessories

Handbag ― Shove your junk and be on your way. Easy to style with any outfit.
Purse ― From a wallet for everyday outfits to a sleek clutch purse for the more dressy up outfits, it can really bring an outfit together. 
Jewellery ― One of the easiest items to find and wear. Helps give your outfit that little extra something.
Scarfs ― Great addition to any outfit and also the best way to be snug and warm when it's chilly.
