Hey guys, welcome back to the vlog. It is Sunday and me and Ryan are heading into Central because
I have a few things to do and a few shops I want to go to. It is super super hot today
and I just cannot believe that it's like 30 degrees on the second week of September.
Where was the sun when it was actually summer? This vlog is going to be what I wore in a week
plus a few things that I get up to that I wanted to take you guys along with me. We're going to
head into Central and go to Abercrombie because I have a return to do, but I also wanted to check
out their denim because I have seen some of their denim online which looks so fab and I'm in the
market for a new pair of jeans. I also wanted to pop into Celine because there is a bag that I have
loved for the longest time and I want to try it on again and maybe get it, so I'll show you guys
that and take you with me. We're going to get some food in Central. Ryan said he's feeling
a street food vibe which is good because there's two different street food places we could go to
that have a number of different vendors with different food and we're just going to have
a nice day out which feels quite rare because I feel like most weekends we've been doing things
with family or I've been working so it feels nice to have a day just us two going out,
go and explore, go and get some things done and hopefully have a really nice day. Let me show you
guys my outfit. I know I said it's super hot and I'm wearing this cropped trench coat but I also
thought while we're in Central may as well shoot a look because trying to be as efficient as
possible, this way I can get an outfit picture that I can then post to Instagram during the week
so just trying to make the most of time. I've got a tank top on, this is from Zara, I really like
this racer back fit, I find it's quite flattering especially when you've got your arms out because
then you can see like your arms, your like collarbone and this area which I think is just
a really nice fit. I've got my trusty denim maxi skirt on, this is my favourite maxi skirt,
it's from Stradivarius and it's just so so so so so comfortable. Then I've got the Adidas Sambazon
so I finally managed to bag these, they are like sold out everywhere, I will try to find a few
places where they're in stock and pop them in the description box so if you're after them you can get
hold of them. I managed to get them from JD and at the time they had all sizes in stock which was
ideal. Then I'm wearing a Celine black belt to bring the outfit together and cinch me in at the
waist and then I've got this really cool cropped trench from COS. One thing I love about COS is
so I know you guys know that I love a timeless style, things that you can wear again and again
each year but I do think it's nice to add some pieces that are slightly different to your
wardrobe, a little bit unique in their cut or their fit just to add some interest. So this
is the final outfit and then I've got my black coffoon bag. This is my black coffoon bag,
it's the stance bag and I love it because it has a really nice structure to it and then also the
gold hardware detail which I think adds a really nice touch to the bag and it works with my outfit
because of the black belt and then also the Adidas Sambas that have got the black stripes and then
I'm going to wear my black YSL sunglasses which I absolutely need because it's so so sunny.
I've got my sunglasses on and I'm ready to go. I've also just realised I don't have any
earrings in in my first earring so I'm gonna swap that out right now because I feel a bit
naked without a chunky hoop in. Ah that is better! I don't know about you guys but when I don't have
my jewellery on and I'm heading out for the day I feel almost like I'm naked. I feel like it's like
leaving the house without putting your perfume on and then and realising that you don't have any
perfume on and thinking oh no like why did I forget my perfume? I have that same feeling with like
earrings and jewellery accessories especially if I'm going out for the day or going somewhere nice.
These are my new earrings from Astrid and Miu. They're like a gorgeous
gold hoop. Love them for every day, could wear them in the evening too
but for me this is like going to be a staple for every day. And this is the final look.
Good morning, it is Tuesday.
Heading into Central for a day of shooting and meeting and an appointment and this is my outfit.
I've got the striped cardigan on that I showed you guys in my last video from H&M, absolutely love
this. White trousers from LilySilk, then I have paired my Loueve tan belt with my tan d'Amelia bag
to bring the tan into the outfit and then I'm wearing these thong black sandals from Refinement
and that is my look. Sorry it was super super quick because I have called a taxi and it's
literally outside so I had about 30 seconds to give you guys a rundown of the outfit of the day.
Hey guys, it is Wednesday. Had such a lovely day in London yesterday. We took some outfit pictures,
Purdy and I, and then I had a meeting with my management team to go through a goals review
and strategy for the next season which is essentially the busiest season for content
creators and people who work within social media. That was really really good. Essentially what we
did is had a look at my goals at the beginning of the year and we then assessed where am I against
those goals, are they on track, have any of them been completed, do we need to amend the goal,
or are there any actions I need to take to make sure I can hit those goals at the end of the year
and I'm so glad that we did that. One thing I have taken from the corporate world is the
importance of setting goals but then not just setting goals but tracking against those goals
and I'm going off on a tangent here but I think that is so relevant to like all goals that you
set in life and something that I like to apply when I'm setting goals whether that's at the
beginning of the year or mid-year when I decide that I want to do something. I have an excel which
has my goals for career and personal finance but then things like health and fitness goals
for example wanting to make sure I work out four to five times a week and then what I then do which
I don't successfully do every week is I track how that progress is going and I have like an excel
spreadsheet which says for each week did I achieve that goal and I'll just go through and make some
rough notes but I think it's a great way to stay accountable because we always set goals at the
beginning of the year or new year's resolutions but then how often do we go back and have a check
in and I think it's so key to have a check in have a look at how far you've come and appreciate that
but then also look at okay what is the gap to be able to get from where we currently are to complete
the goal or if you've surpassed the goal I just think it's so important otherwise you just lose
sight and track of your goals yeah it just keeps your mind focused I think so feeling very inspired
and motivated after that meeting although very tired because I couldn't sleep last night Ryan
isn't here he's away for a couple of days for work in Ireland and I don't know what it is but
you guys might get this if you've lived with your partner or significant other for a long time or
even a flatmate or living at home with your family but me and Ryan have lived together for the last
five and a half six years we've been together 12 years in January and when he's not here I cannot
sleep I think it's just because I was so used to having him next to me in bed I even tried to go
to bed yesterday at 10 30 tried to go to bed early and probably didn't go to sleep until 1am like so
bad I am so sleepy today but anyway that I'm done with my little update I wanted to do an unboxing
with you guys because I have picked up two luxury designer purchases I'm not someone to spend lots
of money on designer things usually but I do like to invest in accessories because I think that's a
great way to elevate your outfits most of my day-to-day wardrobe is high street like I'm a
high street gal but I do like to get a few designer pieces just spruce things up and add a little bit
to your outfit let me go get the bags one of these the Gucci shoes I did mention to you guys already
because it was on my wish list and I wanted to get them but I haven't actually done an unboxing
and shown you them so let's start with these first off they always do such glamorous boxes
not that that totally matters but I do think it makes the whole unboxing experience a lot nicer
I'm also going to push you guys back a bit more so you can see more so I have actually worn these
once but not outside I wore them for a Ashram You jewelry shoot that I did as part of a get ready
with me how beautiful are these shoes honestly I can't even tell you how long these have been
on my wish list I've seen a few people wear them and I just thought they're so classic
and timeless you can just wear these every year they're not a trend piece they're not going to
go out of fashion I absolutely love a slingback heel as well because you guys know I love adding
a little bit of height to my shoes because I'm small but at the same time it's not practical
to walk around in high heels is it also comes in this lovely like dust bag with the Gucci logo on
so I can keep them really nice and protected and look after them these are them together
what I didn't realise is that they have a pointed toe but then it's also a square toe which is quite
cool and it's a very unique design I went for this colour because it's very wearable very neutral I
have so many outfits that I can pair this with I've not really done an unboxing like this before
so I'm just sort of holding the shoe up to the camera yeah how fabulous are these they're super
structured I love them and I can't wait to actually wear them but what I am going to do
is I'm going to wear them for date nights and evening as opposed to every day I'm all about
wearing my pieces but at the same time I'm not going to wear them every day and get them ruined
next up we have something from Celine guys I'm so excited to share this with you because
I have been wanting this bag for a while I think two years now but as I was mentioning earlier I'm
not someone that parts easily with money to buy something designer unless I really really like it
so I had to sit on it and I sat in it for about a year and a half before I actually took the plunge
and I also wanted to treat myself because I just hit 250,000 followers on Instagram
which absolutely blows my mind and if you follow me on Instagram thank you so much if you don't
it's at Olivia Miller like two O's it's also in the description box and so I wanted to treat
myself because ladies I think we should celebrate all of our successes no matter how big no matter
how small and on the topic of goal setting I think that helps you achieve your goals because I know
I'm going to treat myself something when I hit my goals also just to celebrate achieving things
that you have set out to do so this was a treat to myself it's in such a big box which I'm kind
of confused about because it's not that big okay it makes sense they just gave me a big box but
actually this is the bag and I bought this with Ryan you guys will have seen I went into the shop
on Sunday and I have not unpacked it or unboxed it since because I wanted to do it with you guys
so it's come in all of this sort of wrapping just to make sure it stays all nice so I'll get rid of
guys this is the bag isn't she so cute so this is the Celine Triumph calf skin
or lamb skin I think it's calf skin bag with the gold chain and the chain stays like this so it's
absolutely an evening bag so I was really looking for a nice evening bag to wear for going to
events or date night just something super elevated but really simple I do have my YSL sunset bag but
it's quite big and bulky for an evening bag so I thought this would be super cute love the
rectangular shape can definitely fit my phone in here lipsticks my keys things like that it's not
super massive but this is what I was looking for I love the gold chain as well and the gold hardware
so you can see the Celine logo it's still got the sticky stuff on it to protect it from
being scratched I am in love this will be my new evening bag for date nights and
fun evenings out not nights out because we will look after her and with this kind of leather it
could potentially scratch but I am very careful with my things so I'm sure we'll be fine and they
did say that there's such thing as a pamper service so if you do ever get a scratch they said
that I can take it back there and they will try to work their magic and give the bag a little bit
of a pamper never heard of that before pamper service and this is the inside of the bag so as
you can see it's not huge it does have a compartment where I can put some things like a card
and just to keep things safe and I love her I think this is going to be the perfect evening bag
and I'm so happy with her so it's this sort of length and the strap doesn't extend so that's
the only thing about it it can't be more cross body then I mean I feel like that is going to
make me want to wear it more just in the evening let me know what you guys think about my two
purchases I can honestly say that yeah I'm so happy guys with this bag and also with the Prada
shoes let me know what you guys think this is super timeless and classic I'm going to love her
forever I'm now going to take my makeup off I had it on to do some filming this morning and I'm going
to redo it and hopefully I'm going to film it because I'm going to an Armani Beauty party
tonight and which I'm really excited about the weather's looking really grey and thunderstormy
outside so hoping it doesn't tip down because that would be such a shame and the party's inside but
you know it's not ideal when it's raining and you're trying to get from a to b especially when
you're going on the train or the tube and you're not driving it's to celebrate the sea intense
perfume it's at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden where they usually have I guess the opera
so yeah I'm super excited I'll show you guys the outfit I decide to go for because
I haven't actually decided I know it's black and I've got three different options so
I will show you what I go for in the end stay tuned this is my outfit that I decided to go for
it's a two-piece from mistress rocks so it's lace top and then a lace skirt and it has this
nude underlayer so although it gives the illusion that it's sheer it's not completely sheer and I
I really like it and then I have paired it with my new bag so this will be the first time wearing
her out I'm also wearing this gorgeous monica vinader bracelet bangle I love wearing black and
gold together as you guys already know I'm also wearing a necklace from Olivia Burton from when
I worked with them for the collective and my earrings are from Polen Paris and so is this
beautiful bold bangle and then I've gone for these heels these are heels I'm really loving lately I
think it's because of the gold chain and I just love wearing gold accessories so this is the
final look and then I'm just going to grab a light coat to wear on top because I am taking
training and I don't really want people to see like underneath on the train um just because you
and I don't want to be exposed but then once I'm there I can take my coat off and enjoy the party
I'll try and film some bits on my phone not going to bring my camera because it's not going to fit
in my small little bag also wanted to show you guys my makeup I went for a brown smoky
exaggerated eyeliner look to go with the black outfit sort of like the espresso trend that's
going around and it was really nice to do something a little bit different and a little
bit more drama for tonight's event good morning it is Thursday and I'm heading into Central for
the day it's 8 a.m is it 8 a.m it's 8 30 and this morning I'm going to a breakfast with
ltk which is reward style so it's a breakfast with ltk and ebay we're going to petersham nurseries
in common garden so this is the look that I'm wearing I've got a black oversized blazer on
with a white heavyweight t-shirt on from our cat the heavyweight t-shirts from our cat and cause
are my absolute favorite you cannot get better quality t-shirts jeans I'm wearing these split
leg jeans from H&M sorry the sun is coming in in the most awkward way because I'm filming this
quite early before I get my train love the blue jeans with the white t-shirt making the outfit a
more casual and brunch appropriate but at the same time we've got the blazer to make it formal
and then I've got my new belt on which I got from amazon it's supposed to be a hermes dupe
look-alike I believe then I'm going to wear my new gucci shoes my slingbacks that I showed you guys
yesterday but for the journey I'm going to wear my loafers and put my shoes in the bag so yeah
this is the look sleek back sleek hair same as yesterday no fuss um got back quite late yesterday
at 11 so it's a quick turn around this morning to pack everything and get out the door again for
another another day
hey guys it is Saturday and you may notice something different about me I didn't vlog
yesterday because I went to go and get my Invisalign fitted in London so yeah I have
now joined the Invisalign gang they are so weird I honestly just want to take them out all the time
but I know my dentist said I have to keep them in for 22 hours a day so I guess keep them in as much
as possible they just feel so strange and I know that I'm probably talking really weird too but
you will see them more on the vlogs because I guess I have to keep them in as much as possible
if I take them out every time I need to film or vlog then I won't be wearing them that much
so that's but all in the name of having a perfect smile in time for the wedding
next June it should take about four months I think I've got 18 aligners um all going well
and if I speed through them and I keep wearing them all the time I am going to a concert tonight
with my friend Olivia we're going to watch Shania Twain you know man I feel like a woman
I'm so excited but before I do that I wanted to show you guys a couple of pieces that I picked
up from Naked Fashion I have a discount code with them again so you can get 30% off I have a
discount code again with them this month as I'm working with them on Instagram and I will have
already posted a Naked Fashion reel by that time so I'll link that in the description box as well
by the time this vlog is up that reel will also be up and the discount code gets you 30% off if
you are an existing or returning customer which is really good because usually it's only 20%
for returning customers and 30% for new customers but this time it's 30% for both so that is amazing
if you're in the market for getting a couple of new pieces for the new season to spruce up your
wardrobe first up is this leather faux leather pencil skirt and it's a midi length and it's got
this slit down the side I think this is a gorgeous piece for date night going out for dinner or even
a party maybe with like a fun top and then a cropped black blazer I do actually have a black
cropped blazer over there that I'm wearing tonight so I'll pop that on and show you what that would
look like but this is so nice I really love the ruching detail it just makes it a little bit more
party and then the slit as well and I love that it's super high-waisted because I feel like that
sort of fit is more flattering especially on me because I am shorter I really love this piece
I think this will be so nice for autumn and like evening occasions I think it looks really chic
as well but at the same time I'm gonna say it looks sexy too and I feel like I'm in that era
of dressing guys I want to feel confident I want to feel like I'm dressing fun I know that lots of
my clothes are quite like classic and timeless but at the same time I do sometimes want to dress edgy
and still dress like I'm in my late 20s so this is a fun chic item but at the same time
it's still giving a bit of fun what do you think I'm not going to show you guys everything that I
picked up from Naked Fashion just the pieces that I really like and also that I feel like
could be really good additions to your wardrobe well at least they are for me the next one is
this gorgeous blazer Naked do tailoring so well because they're a good price but at the same time
the quality is really good it looks expensive I love that it has these shoulder pads here because
it gives a nice structure in blazers I'm always looking for structure whether that's a boxy fit
or a cinched in waist just to give that shape and to elevate the outfit I really like this colour
it actually goes really well with the skirt this would be a great date night outfit and with some
glam makeup some jewellery a nice bag clutch bag but also this blazer is just great day to day
with a t-shirt and jeans or like a denim midi skirt and a belt and tank top that would look
really cute and the tones I love this sort of brown camel tone I think it's super neutral and
minimal so it goes with lots of the pieces in my wardrobe and I can easily mix and match seamlessly
I don't know about you guys but I love that cardigans are so fashionable this season this
is such a comfy cozy knit I believe they also had it in grey but I've already got a grey cardigan
but I was just looking for a couple of pieces I can wear around the house but then style up
for casual outfits like a t-shirt and jeans or like a tank top situation and this is just such
nice colour as well it's a I would say like a caramel beige warm sort of tone which I think
looks really good with my sort of skin tone but as I say they did have different colourways as well
sorry if my in this line is making me sound different I know guys I sound different don't
I but I will get used to it I feel like I just need to enunciate more bear with me
and if you don't have a cardigan in your wardrobe I definitely get one because
they're a really comfy piece they're great for layering and they keep you warm when it starts
to get cold in the autumn winter and you can wear it out every day but at the same time you can wear
it cozy and casual in the house or if you're having people over for dinner anything like that
working from home they are just really comfy I'm so glad that they are really in season
I also picked up this bodysuit in this gorgeous brown mocha colour and also in like an off-white
colour and I really like the fit of it it's such a good base layer to wear underneath like a blazer
or a jacket for every day or even work wear as well and I got this in a size extra small but
I think it fits really well because it's not too tight it's quite similar to the Zara bodysuits but
I find that the Zara bodysuit the smallest sort of two is quite tight and then the medium would
be too big for me so this is a really great size and I really like this neckline I just think it's
a really good basic to have in your wardrobe I could wear it like this with jeans and then
like a blazer or a biker jacket on top and it's just handy to have these one is for my corporate
office work wear girlies look at this really cute pleated skirt I love the fit of this I'll
definitely be wearing this say if I have like an event in the daytime maybe sell something like
this but then with a tweed jacket or maybe even a blazer I just think it's really elegant I love
the pleat detail as well I think that makes it look really expensive and just gives such a nice
shape it's an off-white beige colour so it'll be so easy to style with different things because
it's neutral neutral colour palette and I really like this I'll leave all the sizes for everything
down below and also go and check out the reel that I did with all the naked pieces because
there's lots more naked items in there all the outfits in that reel in the description box are
from Naked and you can get 30% off with my discount code the discount code is only valid for
one week so if you do want to use it be sure to use it within the week as it will expire I really
like this this would just be so perfect for the office paired with a blazer or even like a tweed
jacket or like a collarless jacket or even a blouse this would just be such a nice skirt
something a little bit different to like a satin smooth skirt or wearing trousers
and I think it looks really elegant and chic I will be back and show you mine and Liv's outfits
for Shania Twain let's go girls we are changed and ready to leave going to hop into the car in
a second this is the outfit that I decided to go for I've got a cropped blazer on from River Island
the one I was showing you guys earlier and then jeans these are also from River Island these are
my favourite straight leg jeans I've also got these in black and cream because when you find
a pair of jeans that fits you really well you need to get them in a couple of different shades
and then I'm wearing this black corset top which is from Urban Outfitters I wear this so much for
evening just in different ways it's such a handy cute top to have in your wardrobe and then I've
got some black heels on from Meshki which means we're not going to be standing which is why I'm
wearing heels um so yeah really excited to see what that suite is going to look like and then
I'm wearing my black YSL bag because it fits a lot inside got my retainer case in there my
lipsticks car keys things like that and this is the final look and then I've just accessorized
with gold jewellery and we have Liv Lovett too ready to go I love your outfit it's actually all
River Island stunning we are River Island gals tonight they have so many good um pieces in for
New Wave don't they there's a waistcoat River Island too yeah love it it's like slightly tailored
so it's actually um nice and fitted love it love those shoes as well and this is our vibe to go and
let's go girls
