own the runaway blazer* (similar here)
monki collar
zara heels

Thought I'd take my brand spanking new heels out for a day out. I bought them in the Zara sale after pining after them for a few months. Never ever did I think I'd see the day where I'd choose to buy a pair of kitten heels, but lets face it style changes! I'm really happy with them despite them feeling very strange to wear despite the small heel. I hardly ever wear anything with such a narrow heel so I feel a bit off tottering around with them on! I do love the pointed shape and the ankle strap though, makes me feel very lady like! I filmed a video earlier and this was one of the outfits, but I don't think Im going to have time to edit it tonight so I'll get back to it tomorrow!

Monki is one of my favourite shops at the moment, their simple and often unique approach to the shapes of clothing are spot on. Their patterns, colouring and themes of their collections are fun and really different from the style of clothing on offer in the UK. Basically there is a lot of baggy smocks, oversized tops, monochrome prints and colour pops. It's definitely one of my favourite foreign brands! It's like H&M with more Scandi-influences and I highly recommend checking it out! There is currently only one store in the UK in Carnaby Street but you can shop online!

  3. You look lovely! I really like those shoes on you. Whistles had a similar style this season but with a chunky heel. Too bad they're not on sale yet! And I also love your nails, so natural looking!

  24. ah those shoes! <3 i love pointy heels but always feel like too much of a child to pull them off, it just feels so grown up. these look AWESOME though, the strap gives them a bit of an edgier look. your hair colour is amazing too... looks nice sleek and straight with this outfit.

    wish monki had more stores, because it's a brand i dont know, it's hard to buy online for sizing and whatnot so ive never really bothered. always like the look of it from what i see on blogs though, seems like the love child of h&m/zara.. which is ideal!

  43. Those are kitten heels? They definitely look bigger to me, and they work well with this outfit - you can never go wrong with a black and white ensemble.
    I have a similar clutch from Zara!

  70. the jacket is gorgeous. i have the same fear with kitten heels really! my housemates slag them off constantly and i try to warm them up to it 'yeah but they areeeeee in fashion and going to stay for a while' butt i still think if i turned up wearing some they'd beat me to death with them.
