STRIPES!! we all know that we're going to be seeing a lot of stripes and floral as summer is upon us.
I've put together a collage of some luxurious bits from NET-A-PORTER.com especially for the striped trend that is
about to hit us! 

I love that people express themselves through fashion and what i admire most is individuals who stand out in a
crowd wearing clothing and accessories that wouldn't normally be worn in a certain way or something that isn't on
trend but could very well be the next.

My favourite piece from these pics has to be the GUCCI striped tweed skirt, not only can you rock the skirt but
there's also a broach paired to create the look of a gucci belt and we all know how popular those belts are this year
don't we!
So which one do you prefer?

Let's be honest we all need a little helping hand when it comes to packing for holiday's, or packing in general for
that matter, wether it's how many outfits to plan or how many bag's to take or how many bikinis you need. And don't
even get me started on shoes! shoes are the hardest to pack, I own around 30 pairs and honestly, i can sit there for
hours deciding which ones to pack. it's a nightmare!

In all honesty i don't actually think packing is the real problem, i think it's when you're looking in your wardrobe
and saying to yourself "holy s**t i have nothing to wear" when in reality you have something around
99 tops, 42 pairs of jeans and 25 skirts... i think maybe, just maybe it's us females that are the problem. And this is
where the problem becomes even bigger as you now have to go holiday shopping, adding more pieces of clothing to
your 'none existent' wardrobe.
We just can't be helped!

Dress - Self-portrait
Swimsuit - Zimmermann
Hat - Gucci
Bag - Gucci 
Heels - Saint Laurent





I have two more holiday's booked for 2018, one in the middle of June and the other at the beginning of September
and i am super excited, mainly just to have some time off from work and to be able to relax in the sun without a
worry. So to get yourself and i holiday ready i've collected some inspiration to show you what colours and styles are
in this season. I know it's easy just grabbing the first pieces that catch your eye along with it being super painless to
go with your usual typical nudes, blacks and whites but why not try something different? it's great to express
yourself through your style.

I'm sure you would love some of the products above, i know i would. Only if there were a few more zero's added to
my salary! Use some inspiration from these products and go-grab yourself a bargain!

Enjoy your holiday's girlies.





I feel like this post is in no need of any of my blabber in order to make you fall in love with these handbags, just
one glance and I had already fallen. I wanted to make this post to remind yourself and I of the beautiful necessities
in the world, aside from the enormous price tags they honestly are the most precious things, YES, handbags! I
always say to myself if i'm going to buy a handbag buy the one that you will have forever, one that will treat you
well for many years and one that you can pass down to your daughter when she is of age, therefore when it is no
longer suitable for you it will still be there! I don't think there's a lot you can own that would last you a lifetime, for
example some designer bags are the same price as a second hand car... this car will not last you 15 years let alone
your life but handbags on the other hand, if you treat them like your babies then yes they will last you for a lifetime. 

If you know me personally you will know that I don't stop talking about handbags... it's sad I know but
unfortunately I just can't help myself. I work in an environment where i'm surrounded by them, wether it's walking
through the luxury department, selling them myself or customers passing, they're constantly in contact with my eyes
and once I see the one I'm obsessed with (pretty much every style, shape and colour) then that's me off and my only
subject throughout that day will be of course - handbags!

I've put together this collage of my current favourites but I have to say my favourite out of these 6 styles has to be
NO.6 - the Gucci double G Marmont quilted leather shoulder bag in black, so I may be treating myself in the
next few months! 

NO.1 GUCCI soho disco cross body bag - red and nude.
NO.2 SAINT LAURENT blogger leather shoulder bag - black.
NO.3 GIVENCHY Antigona - black.
NO.4 BALENCIAGA mini city bag - black.
NO.5 SAINT LAURENT monogram sunset bag - navy.
NO.6 GUCCI double G marmont shoulder bag - black and white.



Which one is your favourite?

The title is clear! these 8 items/ accessories are my February Favourites some of which I've wanted for a while (is
it just me or does that last sentence sound like a tongue twister?) and some I have come across just this month.
My wish-list goes on and on and will typically carry on going so I think it's best to split everything up into a few
items a month.

NO.1 is a handbag I am absolutely head over heels for, it is a recent addition to the coveted Marmont family and I
am super super in love with it. I love how different the shape is to anything they've produced before. LOVE.
GUCCI double G Marmont shoulder bag.

NO.2 an utterly beautiful painted striped ruffle mini dress from Zimmermann, how stunning!

NO.3 these are so in at the minute, you will know them very well! the Alexander McQueen oversized sneaker. I see
them near enough every day at work and not once have they looked bad with an outfit, they literally go with
anything and everything.

NO.4 the Gucci belt of course! who wouldn't be day dreaming over it? it honestly makes any outfit look incredible.

NO.5 it won't be for everyone but I smelt this bottle for the first time this month and it's delightful! - Jo Malone
Peony and Blush Suede.

NO.6 CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTINS, LOU-BOU-TINS. I just can't seem to get over my love for them, although a lot
of women have said they are extremely painful, they're just incredible to look at! As Christian Louboutin himself
says "high heels are pleasure with pain." Great, thanks Christian.

NO.7 something that's a little less expensive... a phone case! Ideal Of Sweden. These are by far my favourite phone
cases. Gorgeous, I've recently bought a blue case from their website, it's in the style of moroccan tile and
architecture, I think we first started using these patterned mosaics to decorate anything from walls, tables and floors
to swimming pools and more 1300 years ago, you can see the one I purchased here.

NO.8 my final favourite... the Louis Vuitton Emilie Wallet in Damier Ebene Canvas. In fact I did have the Emilie
wallet last year in rose ballerine BUT when purchasing I noticed it was very hard to move, the sales assistant
advised me to lets say 'warm it up a little' before I say no, still 6 months down the line it was again very hard to get
in and out of the wallet, so I sold it... and now I miss it terribly, hopefully I can find one that won't be as un-useable.



I hope you enjoyed this months favourites. Look out for March favourites next!

As I work within a luxury department styling outfits is something i'm working on on a daily basis so now is the time
to start adding these looks and sharing them with you here on herinnerwardrobe.com 

Styling outfits used to be a passion/ hobby of mine a few years ago as there was an app to help you create the looks
but after some time they started to look very similar to one another and it got a bit repetitive as the trends back
then pretty much made every outfit look the same. A great example is YEEZY... everyone was wearing oversized
baggy jumpers that were either nude, white, black or khaki with the same colour joggers, leggings and shoes.
So you can understand my frustration trying to think of new ideas to style.

This outfit is one I see a lot at the minute, blazers in this style are very in with it's beautiful greys, white, saffron and
burgundy woven check. It even has padded shoulders to add some definition and two horn-effect buttons.
This blazer is £345 from the Maje on NET-A-PORTER.COM

Beret's have been worn since the bronze age across Northern Europe and as far south as ancient crete and Italy. Also
worn as part of uniform of many military and police units worldwide. In western fashion, men and women have
worn the beret since the 1920's as sportswear and later on as a fashion statement, they will literally never go out of
fashion as they're such a timeless piece. A few years ago they weren't really on trend but somehow this year they
have come back massively and I am so glad! Venus women's beret hat - Venus.com

You honestly can not go wrong with a pair of jeans like these with that cropped raw hem and dangly strands of
denim. As long as these jeans are involved you can create such a statement look even if you're pairing them with
just a plain top.
These jeans are £190 from INTERMIXONLINE.COM

NOW lets get onto the shoes! how amazing are these Dior heels. I love the contrast between the white ribbon strap
detailing with the plain black patent shoe. LOVE THEM - BERGDORFGOODMAN.COM

And now the bag! PRADA cross body. A bag like this tends to impress me, it's incredibly plain yet so statement
and can change any outfit in many ways. I feel like the Prada cross body bag makes everything tie in as one in the
outfit above but lets say you're wearing plain black leggings with a plain top... it would recreate the simple outfit
into something dressy as the bag adds something extra to the look. 
On the other hand if you were pairing it while wearing a bright coloured floor length dress in summer
it would calm the outfit down and make the look more casual.

I really hope you enjoyed this look as i'll be adding a styling post to herinnerwardrobe.com once a week from today
to fit in with my category "Styles" if this is something you would be wanting to see more of please
comment below! Thank you for reading!

Selena Gomez, one of Louis Vuitton's ambassadors since the age of 17 joined the event at Paris fashion week where
she was treated as a very special guest hanging out with the man himself Nicolas Ghesquiere. She kept things
effortless teaming a crisp white blouse with a sweet denim miniskirt that was enhanced by the gold detailing of the
buttons and zip on the front.

 But this outfit is all in the shoes!! I feel like every simple outfit needs a statement shoe, especially to the red carpet.
Selena rocked this pair of Cosplay Python boots retailing at $2,612 from the Louis Vuitton SS16 line, attending
front row seats to see Nicolas Ghesquiere's latest collection for the Louis Vuitton show at Paris fashion week. 

I came across this look when reading about the Paris fashion week last week, Selena is a great inspiration of mine
and I completely fell in love with this outfit. I have recreated this look in price ranges of your choice being
affordable or a more pricier version, for details click on the links below.

I'm trying something new on my blog from now on, for the last few years i've wanted to work within the magazine
industry wether it's printed or an online magazine. I'm a perfectionist so it does take me quite some time just to
publish the simplest blog post, it takes a lot to think of new content so i'm always on the prowl searching for new
ideas to add to herinnerwardrobe.com

I absolutely love magazines and how beautifully put together they're and i've found my own way of making
herinnerwardrobe.com into my own little online magazine by adding these stunning magazine like features to my
images...

This post is about 'the floral print' as you can see by the title. I loved adding photos from the 'vogue collections' to
my college work when I studied Fashion & Design in 2015 so I thought I would carry this on into
herinnerwardrobe.com. I've based this post on Alexander McQueen's latest designs from the resort 2017 collection,
this collection isn't just floral based there are some lovely unique patterns and styles as well as the hand painted
carnations, yellow roses, peonies, and poppies. YES, that's right I said "hand painted" I couldn't believe it myself,
anyone would confound the paint with actual printed floral material, it's very impressive and not only that they were
painted onto leather. "The leather these english vernacular florals were painted on is incredibly fine and soft, hardly
leather-looking at all either." "We thought we'd treat leather in a different way, as if it were fabric," Burton noted,
THAT'S exactly why it's mislead to look like a material rather than leather.

I know that who ever is to buy these pieces wouldn't just wear them they would wear them with pride, the amount of
work that goes into them, they're not just worn they're appreciated. I always try to find similar pieces from the high
street but the pieces designers are bringing to the stage these days are just outstanding. I literally could not find one
inspired or similar piece, which is a shame because they would have been gorgeous for summer 2017.

If you want to take a closer look at the resort 2017 collection by Alexander McQueen i've added a link to the vogue
collections here.

I watch 'what's in my bag' videos all the time on youtube. I get carried away looking at handbag's too much it leads
me to watch videos of what's in youtubers bags... it sounds sad I know but if you don't do it you're missing out a hell
of a lot, or it might just be because i'm nosey...

I find looking at what people carry interesting, it's not all about what's in the bag it's also about what type of bag
they're carrying it tells you a lot about that person, some people carry things you have never seen, some people carry
things you'd be oblivious to and some people carry items/ accessories you never knew you've always wanted, if that
makes any sense.

For example someone could be carrying a rucksack filled with books or a laptop, someone could be carrying the
brightest shoulder bag you've ever seen filled with food or someone could be carrying the cutest little designer cross
body bag with a million pounds inside... everyone has their own story and I find it interesting knowing what they're
about.

If you're interested in finding out what's in my bag/ clutch then keep scrolling.


I think you can tell i'm in love with monogram LV accessories, to be honest I wasn't really the biggest fan of
monogram this time last year. I loved the "damier ebene' print but coming across the 'Emelie monogram canvas
wallet' turned me 100% towards monogram canvas.

As you can see in the very top photo I took this while I was out over the weekend. I thought this would make a great
blog post... so I have recreated some photos including the essentials and accessories I take with me on a casual
evening out. 

INCLUDING...

*** CLUTCH ***

LOUIS VUITTON TOILETRY POUCH 26 - yes this is a toiletry pouch but I love to use it as a clutch... being
heavily inspired by influencers using it as a clutch on Instagram over the past year. This was a gift from my very
generous boyfriend for christmas 2016. 

*** JEWELLERY ***

I can't even tell you how many compliments i've had on my ring... as I have been a brand promoter since I was 14
years old brands gift me items that they want promoting so the company 'DIAMONFIRE' generously gifted me this
ring that I am so thankful for because it is absolutely stunning!! It is their flower cluster ring selling for £99, you can
have a look at their jewellery here.

The black double wrap around bracelet is 'MULBERRY' I wear it both as a bracelet and choker. I feel like they have
discontinued the double wrap bracelet as I haven't seen it for so long online but they still have the single band here
if you're interested.

I recently purchased the 'single woven leather pandora bracelet' from greece. I wanted it for so long but just not had
the chance to buy it as my wrists are so tiny every time i've come close they didn't have my size. I'm so upset that
they have discontinued all of the other colours in the single strap apart from black they need to bring them back!!
you can find this bracelet here.

*** PERFUME ***

I was also gifted with this absolutely incredible smelling perfume, 'barbour for her' as I was invited to the barbour
event when they first brought the perfume to selfridges. If you haven't yet smelt this perfume you seriously need
too!! 

*** PURSE/ MONEY ***

My favourite purse yet is this beauty. I'm yet to decide wether to get my initials hot stamped onto it so comment
below if you think I should.

*** CARD HOLDER ***

A card holder is the best accessory to take money out.. pockets to store bank cards, recipes and notes, because
no'one needs change right? shop this card holder here.

*** MIRROR ***

This mirror was one of my valentine's presents from my boyfriend a few years ago, so as valentine's day is coming
up the CHANEL compact mirror is a great idea for a gift.
