First Outing

Our first outing after Christmas day we had a trip to London. We were lucky to get some pretty things for Christmas so we obviously took the trip to London as an opportunity to wear our new bits and pieces.

Charlotte wears: A black biker coat (Mint Velvet), representing Scotland with tartan scarf (Edinburgh Woolen Mill), top (American Apparel), black jeans (United Colors of Benetton), grey Doc Martens

In this outfit I teamed together charcoal greys with ash black. I admire designers such as Alexander Wang who have the ability to make a minimalist piece and simple colours so powerful. Inspired by this, I created a look consisting of a few basic shades which I hope compliment each other successfully. 




Despite the asymmetrical structure of the biker coat, it adds a strange sense of femininity to the outfit, contrasting with the top which is loose-fitting.

















Both Chiara and I are obsessed with Doc Martens and I am sure they will appear a great deal in the future! They are comfy, stylish, practical and versatile! They are a necessity in my wardrobe!







Watch (Urban Outfitters), bracelet (Pandora) 
I love this watch which I got for Christmas!  The faux alligator strap and the gold outline makes this accessory 'retro'. The odd 'retro' purchase can make an outfit unique.















Chiara wears: floral dress (Motel Rocks), black biker boots (Kurt Geiger), black tights






This dress from Motel Rocks is instantly feminine as the rose pattern dominates the dress. The cute black collar also fits in with the popular style at the moment. We have seen lots of people wandering around London with jumpers with a shirt collar peeping over the top. This preppy feature can now be altered to suit a style you're comfortable with!

The loose-fitting and positioning of the waist band turns away from traditional dresses 'housewife' image of the 1950s. The dress and the look now becomes slightly more edgy which clashes perfectly with the floral pattern.










These boots are amazing! The biker style gave this outfit a complete different feel- a mix of girly and grunge! Black boots are also versatile are a great thing to own!











Rings (from left to right): Ring with semi-precious stone (vintage), silver ring with blue stone (shopdixi), thumb rings (old!!!), Silver band ring (vintage), ring on pinkie finger (topshop)

I love wearing an assortment of rings, they are simple and I can where most of them with any outfit. Rings are my favourite accessory and you can never have too many!



Signing out,
Charlotte & Chiara xx
