5 reasons why bloggers wear sunglasses

1. Because it’s bright out yo.
2. Because every trip to Homebase needs an air of high fashion mystique.
3. Because nothing makes a bad hairdo look like you meant it that way quite like dark specs.
4. Because unlike pro models, our faces do weird things in front of the camera, and that shiz just don’ belong on no internet.
5. Because we really are that badass.

(I’ll let you be the judge of which of the above apply to me).

“It’s nice… very rectangular,” said Chris about this outfit. Yeah, this one probably fits into the ‘man repelling’ genre of fashion, but this style of unfussy, laid back dressing is pretty much all I want to wear at the moment.

This is one of my favourite combinations for this time of year. I bought this shirt dress way back in November but it hasn’t had a chance to come into its own until now, mixed with oversized leathers and beautiful elegant shoes. The overlap details on the back yolk and the front make my head spin a little, and I won’t tell you how thrilled my little heart is with the French seams up the side. Suffice to say that stylish, clever clothing construction makes me very happy.

The spectacularly messy hair was not entirely intentional, just the product of a lazy Sunday and a total disinclination to use conditioner. But did you see the shades? Those are fashion flyaways doncha know.
