Tumblr.

Tumblr is home to some of the most stunning photographs I have ever seen. This seems like quite a bold statement to make about something that is essentially a social media website but there is something very organic and real about tumblr photos. Some I take style inspiration from and others I simply appreciate the artistic quality and beauty of. Here's a selection of some of my recent favourites ... for more visit my tumblr @ http://itslucy96.tumblr.com

Fawsley Hall: Afternoon Tea & Outfit

On saturday my sister, brother and I treated my mum to Afternoon Tea at Fawsley Hall which is a beautiful country estate/hotel not to far from where I live. The grounds and house where stunning, this combined with the incredible food made the afternoon really lovely, here are a couple of photos I took including my outfit from the day.

Suki Waterhouse Superga Campaign - How I Style


Suki Waterhouse is everywhere at the moment, one of her projects this year, along side filming the up and coming divergent sequel 'Insurgent', has been to get involved with one of my favourite brands, 'Superga'. I love the campaign and I have selected a few of the shoes featured to style :)

Navy Superga | Jeans - Topshop | Jumper - Ralph Lauren | Bag - Head (ASOS)
I looovee this outfit.. If I say so myself! It's 100% my personal style. It's retro inspired with the sports bag and mom jeans yet still on trend due to the distressed design of the jeans. The first thing I picked to go with the shoes was the jeans as I instantly knew I wanted to go for a laid back slightly 90's look and what's more 90's than mom jeans!? I then added this beautiful mens Ralph Lauren jumper to be half tucked into the jeans which still maintains the sloughy look while adding some luxe to the outfit. I saw this bag while browsing the ASOS website and honestly think it's one of the coolest pieces and adds the perfect pop of colour to an otherwise quite plain outfit.
The above shot is one of my favourites from the campaign, from an advertising pespective it's on point as your eye is drawn straight to the Supergas and then travels to Suki and the stunning classic car to complete the image. I haven't styled the white Superga as I have done this before in my Brandy Melville post which you can see here.
Burgandy Superga | Dress - Brandy Melville | Bag - Grafea (ASOS)
This outfit was slightly harder for me to put together as personally i don't often wear shoes that aren't a classic colour but I'm really happy with what I put together. I decided I wanted to included grey in the colour scheme as I think grey and burgundy complement each other really well so this grey and white striped Brandy Melville dress was perfect. I finished off the outfit with this cute white backpack  which pulled together the white in the shoes and dress. 




Thanks for reading!
Let me know what you think of the campaign and the outfits I have styled.

A Very American OOTD ✌️

So I finally got my hands on this Brandy dress, which if you have read my last few posts you will know I have been obsessed with for months! It basically represents everything I want my style to be - classic, casual and cute, I love toughing it up with this hoody and my timbs! I wore this yesterday to my friends 19th which was an American themed do, I hadn't actually planned to tie my outfit in with the theme it just sort of happened haha and I figured I would go with it! 

Dress - Brandy Melville
Hoody - Levi's (old)
Boots - Timberland (via Ebay)
Socks - Topshop
Necklace - Topshop
The colours are all classically American and although Brandy Melville is an Italian based brand, personally I associated it with California as that's where it has really blown up so once I added Levi and Timberland, both of which are iconically American it was suddenly a very american style outfit! I added some grey ankle socks and a long necklace for a bit of detail and kept my hair pretty natural.
