First Date OOTD

I've found a new hobby in the form of dating. It's fun, you get to meet new people (sometimes like-minded individuals & other times those who are the literal opposite of your every existence) and most importantly, you get a free evening out! 

Just kidding. I'm not David Cameron. 

I thought I'd do a quick outfit post showing what I wore on a first date recently. We went to a cute little pub in Clapham where a man strummed his guitar and sung sweet melodies into the mic (that's microphone, not Made in Chelsea for my fellow MIC fans out there), as we sipped on a bottle of their finest (house) white. I had to stop myself from getting up there and joining him! 

Seeing as it was just drinks, I opted for a simple, monochrome outfit. Simple yet classy. The key is to not wear anything too revealing (I cringe at my uni days...were they pants or shorts I wore to the clubs?!). 

The backless top and ripped jeans provided a subtle flash-of-flesh. 

Mmmmm knees....sexy. 

Being comfortable is also important. This outfit allowed me to breathe, and I do like to breathe. Oxygen and ting should not be overrated. Also, comfort = confidence! So remember that folks when you find yourself trying to squeeze into that mini bodycon LBD or those leather pants that are a (few) sizes too small. There's a time and a place.

4 Autumn Fashion Staples

So as you'll probably be able to tell from my previous few posts, I have a bit of a soft spot for Autumn. I've touched on beauty and food (of course), so thought I'd dedicate a post to my Autumn fashion staples! 

There's something so effortless about Autumn style. It's so easy to look put together without having actually made much effort at all. In other words, you can still hit that snooze button without sacrificing your appearance.

Smudged eye makeup? That's ok...you were going for the 'smokey, sexy' look.
Bed hair? That's ok...stick a hat on top. Noone will know, I promise!
And the bane of every girls life...What do I wear?!?! I have NOTHING to wear!!! is no longer an issue. It's ok to throw on a pair of ripped jeans and an oversized shirt, and never take them off (okay, well the change in season doesn't mean a change in hygiene, but ya get me). Trust me, if Cara Delevingne can do it, so can we! 

The best thing of all is that this look is so comfortable and I've found myself reaching for these four staples most days recently. Gone are the days of squeezing into high wasted shorts and shrieking at the sight of myself in the mirror of the Topshop changing room whilst trying on their Summer collection of crop tops. One day, I'd tell myself. One day...(still waiting for that day). 

My four favourite must-haves for Autumn are: 

1) A Checkered/Tartan shirt
2) Ripped Jeans
3) A Floppy Hat
4) A Berry Lip
