Race day...

In a little over a week, I'll be heading on my annual work summer outing to York Racecourse so, as always, outfit planning is at the top of my agenda.

The races can often be challenging to dress for, but it's important to go with something classic. This year I'll be opting for a midi dress/skirt or a smart trouser, silk cami combo and, as there are so many options, I wanted to share my top races-friendly pieces for this season.

& Other Stories recently opened the brand-new Manchester store and I absolutely LOVE it. There are a number beaut pieces in, perfect for race day, my favourites being the two red midi dresses.

Elsewhere on the high street, Missguided, River Island and Topshop have some stunning pieces in, and below is an overview of my top ten races picks for spring/summer 2016:

All about autumn/winter 2016/2017...

Fashion weeks across the globe took place throughout February and March so, for my latest post, I wanted to do a round up of my favourite looks from the best shows for autumn/winter 2016/2017.

First stop New York with the likes of Victoria Beckham, Prabal Gurung and Rachel Zoe showcasing their latest collections, followed by London with Mulberry, Topshop Unique and many more. Then Milan with Prada, Roberto Cavalli, and Marni, and finally it all ended with Paris and of course Chanel, Valentino, and Louis Vuitton.

London and Paris are always personal favourites, however there were quite a number of incredible collections to hit the catwalk this season at all four destinations. In no particular order, here are my favourite looks from the latest Ready-to-Wear shows...

1. Alexander McQueen

2. Chanel

3. Mulberry 

4. Mulberry

5. Topshop Unique

NYFW...

Thursday saw New York Fashion Week draw to a close for another season - and what a week it was. 

Numerous designers showcased some incredible collections so for this post, I thought I would do a round-up of some of my personal favourites. 

Victoria Beckham's collection was as amazing as ever and featured lots of cocooning, sophisticated silhouettes. 

There were chunky knits, everything was oversized, yet still stunning, and comfort was very much at the heart of the designs. 

Overall, the collection was beautiful - and here are just a few of my favourite looks from the show...

Another highlight of the week was the Marc by Marc Jacobs show, which was quite feminine yet with an element of punk. The studded creepers in particular were a personal favourite - and again here are just a few of the best looks from the show...

Another collection I absolutely loved was Prabal Gurung's! Every ensemble was simple, yet chic and sophisticated - and I have to say I honestly loved every single look to hit the catwalk. 

The oversized winter coats featured in the DKNY and Jason Wu shows were also perfection - a garment which I am sure will be a staple piece in many of our wardrobes come autumn. 

It wasn't just the models who were showcasing some spectacular ensembles, as below are some of the best looks from the week; sported by none other than the celebrity attendees...

Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift

Dakota Johnson

Sarah Jessica Parker

Alexa Chung

NYE...

With New Years Eve just hours away, I thought I would do a round-up of some perfect outfit ideas for the occasion - and give everyone a sneak peek into what I'll be wearing this NYE.

For the celebrations this year, I have purchased a grey Topshop number; which I'll be sporting with some black ankle boots from AllSaints, a black ASOS clutch and my trusty rose gold Marc Jacobs watch.

I have also come across quite a number of other stunning looks, for instance more or less everything featured in the Cara Delevingne | Topshop campaign... 

As well as these amazing pieces...

Have a fab New Year everyone!
