I hope you’re all having a nice weekend. Leave a comment down below telling me one thing that made yours good. I’ve been catching up with friends, checking out the shiny new Big Ben, doing a bit of cheeky shopping, and having lots of lovely food and drink as per the usual. We were also lucky enough to have some sunshine here in London again.

For this week’s blog post, I wanted to talk about some simple tips for looking more polished. I know I have discussed topics like this before, but you don’t need to add anything to your wardrobe with these simple hacks. They can be applied to any outfit you already own to elevate it and look more chic.

Colour Forecast 2022

Hope you’re all having the best weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mums out there, especially mine, who I’m quite partial too and believe is the best mum anyone’s ever had. While I spent time with my mum last weekend, I was back in London this weekend. Yesterday, my friend, Milllie and I had an outfit shoot day and ended with some delish pasta from Lina Stores, which I’ve been wanting to try to ages. (We both got the carbonara and would def recommend.) Today I had brunch, in true George form, with none other than my gorgeous friend, Zoe and her puppy Odie, who I’ve been wanting to meet for ages! He was such a little dream. Much to Odie’s jealousy, Zoe and I had the banana pancakes from Granger & Co. They were to die for.

Anyway, now that the colour UK weather seems to have finally broken and we’re heading into April soon, I thought it was about time I post my annual colour forecast for Spring/Summer 2022. (Check out last year’s colour forecast here.) As usual, I’m covering this year’s most popular shades, according to Pantone, and how you can wear them.

Milan Fashion Week AW22

I hope you’re all well and having a relaxing end to your weekend. This weekend I went for a lovely swimming sesh, unpacked my suitcases, and went for a delish Sunday roast. I’ve needed this restful weekend after all of the craziness of London, Milan, and Paris fashion weeks.

Reflecting on the past couple weeks, I wanted to look back on Milan Fashion week first. Apart from Men’s Milan Fashion Week, this was my first real MFW. Below are some of my highlights and favourite parts of the week.

I hope you’re all having a good Sunday filled with cosy, vibes. London as gotten so cold this week, but I kind of love it when it’s chilly and sunny.

Winter Whites: How to Style White During Winter

I hope you’re well and all having a lovely weekend. I’ve had a much needed chilled one, catching up with friends and fam, eating as always, and doing a bit of baking. Finally tried Arôme bakery yesterday near Covent Garden, which I can definitely recommend. The pastries and honey toast were delish! I also picked up a coconut hot choc and walked around a very festive looking London. Has the Christmas decorating begun where you are yet? Now all we need is a bit of snow!

Speaking of snow, with this all white leather look from Ted Baker (gifted) I wanted to share why I think wearing white is definitely recommended this season. Have you ever felt a bit intimidated about style this crisp shade in the cooler months? Below are my tips for looking perfect and wintery in white.

My First Paris Fashion Week

I hope you’re all having a lovely end to the weekend. I’ve had quite an exciting one, as my parents have officially moved back to the UK and made a quick stop in London to visit me. Even though they were only here briefly, we still managed to have a good time. I took them to one of my favourite Indian restaurants in Covent Garden, for a walk around my local park, and just had some general catch up time. Hopefully, when they’re a bit more settled I can go and visit them up in Derbyshire soon. But anyway let’s do a bit of time travelling back a couple weeks for this week’s blog post.

This week, I wanted to give you guys a recap of my first Paris Fashion Week experience. As you know, I’m a Talent Manager now, so I was lucky enough to get to go to Paris Fashion Week with my job. I can’t quite believe it. (I was accompanying my Talent, Charelle Schriek, who you need to follow if you’re not already.) One of the reasons I moved to London for my career, was to become more involved in fashion weeks and now I’ve gotten to experience both London and Paris. Feeling very grateful for everything and everyone that has lead me here. Below are some of the highlights of my ten days in Paris.

Hope you’re all having a lovely end to your weekends. I’ve had another fun London weekend. Friday night was Girl’s Night Out which I haven’t had since before the pandemic so that was quite fun, and then yesterday was spent enjoying the last of the summer sun having a picnic in the park and eating and drinking in Soho. I’ve also spent the weekend preparing for Paris Fashion Week, which starts next weekend.

Below are my tips for finding the best jewellery pieces that you’re bound to wear for years and year. Leave a comment below with the best jewellery pieces you’re ever had in your collection.
