Day 86: Tried and Trusted with a Twist

Polo-shirts & Chino's=perfect fallback. Add a bowtie & you're ready to serve WhiteKing & Country.

Also wear with longer coloured socks and boating shoes.

Try muted rich jewel tones as we enter Spring and as soon as the summer sun is out - go for a POPTASM colour overhaul.

Day 85: SuiTed



Pairing vibrant pantones is an excellent statement maker; lets hope it isn't 'OFF WITH HIS HEAD'

Try and include as many different textures to this journey as well, as you don't want to look as though you just walked into a store and bought everything off the rack.

Day 84: TheRedQueen

SMyze

Everyone knows I'm a huge fan of Tyra and this is one of her rules that I really try to apply in every picture I take.

Smyze - smiling with you eyes. A good tip is to take a deep breath in when the photo is taken - it automatically lengthens you, your eyes open a bit more and you look more alive. (and not to mention seductive).

Or you can just combine with your best Zoolander moves too. haha
Radiate in pics by smiling with your eyes & giving it your best LeTigre, Ferrari or MAGNUM!

Day 83: Don't loose your head

Resist bold branding.
Simplify & keep your ensemble timeless & intriguing.
This leaves you more room to dress creatively without the curse of a great big flashy logo. Don't get me wrong, there is a time and place for logo's but individuality and not conformity rules.

Get it right - use vintage, new, borrowed, weird and quirky items and create your own fashion style!

As above, shirt - charity shop, scarf - vintage store - camden, jeans - diesel - they were full length but i cropped them just above the knee!

Day 82: DoubleTake


Knowing what suits you best is key to individual STYLE. If it works, it works & if its that nice, buy it twice in a different colour & size cos you can always customomize! Fash-On
