Turtlenecks & Denim

 

 

Jumper - Vintage

Denim Vest - DIY

Skirt - H&M

Lips - Collection Lip Definer in Nude Pink

 

Hi guys! After a hectic move, no Wi-Fi and the busiest few weeks of my life I'm finally back! I'm going to try to get back to posting more regularly as well.

 

This outfit is one I wore one day to go into town. I bought this vintage turtleneck jumper the other week and I love it already. Turtlenecks are a massive trend for this fall and I'm already thinking about all the outfit combinations I can do with mine.

 

This time I paired it with this DIY Denim Vest - it was an age 12 denim jacket I owned from French Connection but not willing to part ways I cut the sleeves off - which I felt added a definite pop of colour and a grungy vibe.

 

I rarely talk about makeup on my blog (mainly because I'm not very good at it) but the lip liner I'm wearing made me feel like the 3rd Jenner sister. I bought this Collection lip liner from boots for less than £2 just to try out the colour but it actually turned out to be a really good buy as it lasts pretty well even on a night out.

 

How will you be styling turtlenecks this autumn? Let me know in the comments below or via Twitter.

 

Until next time,

 

 



Grungey Boho Babe

Kimono - H&M

Lace Vest - Hollister

Mom Jeans - Boohoo

This outfits screams summer to me; The long white lace detail kimono and high waisted acid wash jeans. It's almost like 70s Boho and 90s Grunge had an adorable, and slightly confused, baby. I found this Kimono on an off chance. I'd seen a long lace maxi dress in the shop window for H&M and in trying to track it down I found this. I didn't buy that dress in the end because finding this kimono seemed so much better.

It's part of the H&M X Coachella range which explains why it gives off such a festival vibe. If I was going to a festival this year I'd definitely take this with me. Any of you who follow me on Instagram (xtyramx) will know I took it on my recent holiday to Mykonos and paired it with shorts and a pastel blue vest. 

For my makeup I attempted (for the first time ever) a winged liner. I didn't go too dramatic with it, in fact its hardly noticeable in these pictures, but I did try. Due to the almond shape of my eyes I have always worried that a winged liner would make my eyes look too elongated and drawn out. However after wearing a subtle wing all day I may have to try it more often. If anything it seemed to open up my eyes making them look larger and almost doll like.

Also I'm hoping someone has noticed how curly my hair is looking! For those of you who follow me on Twitter you may have seen me mentioning I purchased coconut oil for the first time from an organic food store. So the night I bought it I massaged it into my scalp and plaited my hair with the aim of co-washing it the next day. However when I undid the plaits my hair looked so curly, shiny (for me) and healthy that I left it like this all day. Still now at the end of the day as I'm writing this my hair feels gloriously soft and has retained a natural looking healthy, but not oily, shine.

I also purchased from the organic food store some homemade Aloe Vera Gel. I tested it out on my edges which it has held down pretty well. Nevertheless I shall wait until I have used it properly to give a full recommendation.

 Angel Necklace - Gift from a Local Jewellers

Flower Necklace - Urban Outfitters

In the end before I went out I put on these gold necklaces. I've recently been loving the layered necklace look and the varying colours of gold only add to the bohemian effect. This angel wing necklace is a particular favourite of mine as depending on the outfit it can look dark and edgy or feminine and pretty. 

Thanks for reading guys! What are your favourite two trends to mix at the moment? And what other natural/organic hair products do you swear by? Let me know in the comments below or on Twitter.

Coachella | Celebrity Fashion

Pictures taken from Elle and The Mirror

 

Coachella not only seems to have amazing line ups and headlining news (I'm thinking Drake and Madonna) but it also seems to attract some of fashions biggest it girls and therefore their wardrobes. Something about festivals enables people to get as creative and eccentric with their wardrobe as they choose. Here are a few of my favourite celebrity fashions from the event.

 

First up is Gigi with those beautiful face diamantes she posted on instagram. Almost like a headband, they add a really sweet but quirky touch to her outfit that day. If only it was normal to walk around with face gems on your forehead all the time because I totally would.

 

I also loved Rosie HW's dress! It reminded me of the 70s boho vibe that's been present recently on the catwalk. I loved how she styled it down with an updo, large sunglasses and a small over the shoulder brown bag.

 

Jourdan Dunn also looked incredible for Coachella. I loved how she kept her outfit black to make the focus her brightly coloured hair. Also those fringed denim shorts are incredible.

 

Finally is Kendal Jenner with her ultimate hippie off the shoulder top (which Twitter tells me is from Nasty Gal). In all honesty she looks like she could be on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean and I don't mean this as an insult. She too looks really laid back boho which is perfect for a sunny festival.

Inspiration | Mom Jeans

Pictures taken from Tumblr




 

Mom Jeans are a key trend in street style at the moment. They're all over IG and Tumblr and can add a cool, grunge vibe to any outfit. I find that Mom jeans help to give a really hourglass figure especially when paired with a chunky belt.

 

 

The great thing about this trend as well is that it doesn't have to be expensive. As well as the usual high street stores, Mom jeans can be bought from vintage and second hand stores for reasonable prices. I found my acid wash mom jeans by Boohoo at my local charity shop for £8. A great find for me and all for a good cause.

 

 

What do you think of Mom Jeans? Would you wear them and how? Let me know in the comments below.

Curly and Casual

This day was one of those days where everything just seemed to go right! I spent ages plaiting my hair the night before so that when I woke up they'd form into perfect little curls... And it worked! I tried out a new method which definitely helped and once I get my YouTube up and running I'll have to do a video on it. 

Jeans - All Saints

Boots - Topshop 

Top - Hollister 

Cardigan - Urban Outfitters

Leather Jacket - Topshop

Back Pack - Primark

For my outfit I went pretty casual with jeans, a white t-shirt and cut out boots. You can never go wrong with this combination! It gives off that model off duty vibe I love.

For layering I threw on my beautiful grey cardigan from urban outfitters and my leather jacket. 

And then to help me shift all my things around all day I used my Primark denim back pack which looks just like the American Apparel one I wanted for ages but could never afford. 

So let me know what's your go-to casual outfit either via twitter or by commenting below! 

Or if you blog and have a post with your ultimate casual outfit then comment with the link and I'll be sure to check it out!

Warmer Weather

Dress - Primark

Cardigan - Hand-Knitted

Belt - H&M

Bag - Urban Outfitters

Trainers - Converse

 

This is an outfit I wore recently to visit a friend of mine at university. The weather was beautiful and extremely hot and we decided to go for a long walk around the town. This outfit therefore is a combination of practicality and finally feeling like spring is here.

 

This dress from Primark actually came as a surprise to me. Despite it only costing £5 I don't feel like it looks cheap and I've seen similar in retailers such as H&M and Topshop for a higher price. I did actually look to buy another one of these dresses in a different colours. However personally I think the other colours made the material see-through and therefore look it's price.

 

What sort of outfits do you wear in hot weather? And do you ever find that different colours can affect how an item of clothing looks?

My Wishlist: Jewellery

Tribal Rings - Topshop

Crocodile Strap Watch - Urban Outfitters

Nyx Moonstone Necklace - Shop Dixi

Open Hoop Earrings - ASOS

 

 

This is my wish list of jewellery I'd like to own. I haven't had any new jewellery in a while and I rarely buy it myself so this month I'm thinking of treating myself to something new.

 

With jewellery I like to keep it quite simple as it means it can be worn in various ways and even layered with other pieces.

 

Let me know what items of jewellery you've been liking recently.

 

Until next time,

 



 

 

White T-Shirts

 

T-Shirt - American Apparel

Leather Jacket - Topshop

Jeans - All Saints

 

White, boyish t-shirts are great because they're easy to wear and they look really effortless. I bought this one from American Apparel during my trip to New York a few years ago. For me styling a basic white t-shirt requires a good jacket and a pair of jeans for that model off-duty inspired look; the sort of thing you see Cara Delevingne strolling around in.

Let me know how you style a white t-shirt such as this one either by commenting below or tweeting me @TyraMorrison

White Fluffy Jumper

 

 

Jumper - Topshop

I love a good piece of fluffy knitwear! I just find them to be really comfortable and effortless to style. On a chilly day I can chuck on a warm jumper like this one from topshop with my black skinny jeans and it's perfect. Equally as we enter S/S (fashion wise not necessarily weather wise in the UK) this fluffy white jumper can be paired with my mint jeans for a more springtime, pastel look. 

Let me know what your favourite transitional piece is either by commenting below or on twitter.

How I Style: Pastels

Pastels is going to big once again for summer this year. Pastels is something I've never been very good at. The pale colours don't really suit my complexion and I often find it a bit too girly. Nevertheless I've seen some really good pieces this year which I think fit my style a bit more.

1.  Pale Blue Crop Top - Zara
2. Pink Oragami Dress - ASOS
3. Mint Jumper -  Monki
4. Pink Blazer - Boohoo

For me the key to styling pastel pieces is to contrast them with black or white. I just think this helps to make the colour of the pastel item really stand out rather than when you wear head to toe pastel. Like I said I don't like the girly look often associated with pastel clothes so I would definitely try and toughen them up by wearing maybe leather or a pair of more mannish shoes.

I think I am going to try and experiment with pastels this season. Let me know what you think? Will you be wearing pastel colours this season and if so then how will you be wearing them?

For more inspiration on pastels check out my Pinterest.

Until next time,

New Purchase

 

 

Bought a new pair of jeans this week from All Saints. I've actually never owned a pair of black skinny jeans which is quite shocking really considering its seen as a basic in most peoples wardrobes. Well now I finally do! The All Saints jeans are notoriously skinny and they fit pretty snugly which I like. Expect to see these in an awful lot of OOTDs from now on!

Until Next Time,

Animal Print Shoes

My favourite shoes right now are this animal print Chelsea boots from Bershka. I tend to wear a lot of black meaning that these shoes add a often needed pop of colour. Animal print was definitely a trend I wanted to try this season but I just wasn't sure how to do it without it being a bit too much.

These shoes can easily be dressed up or down; they can be worn with a pair of jeans and a slouchy tee as well as a dress and a big fluffy coat. Perfect for keeping my feet warm this winter. 

Until next time,

Collars and Polka Dots

 

Jumper - Vintage Gap

Shirt - Primark

Skirt - JUJU

Creepers - Office

Lipstick - Starry-eyed by Rimmel London

 

This is probably one of my favourite outfits that I've worn in a while. What I am wearing was largely inspired by vintage fashion but then in a way its not very vintage looking at all. The jumper is one of my go-to jumpers simply because it's comfy and I love the colour. Usually I style it with jeans when I'm feeling lazy however today I decided to dress it up a little by layering it with a white shirt and adding a polka dot circle skirt.

 

I also love the way the maroon of the jumper works with the dark red lipstick I'm wearing. I bought this lipstick for Vogues Fashion Night Out (As some of you will have seen on my instagram) and already I'm hooked. Not only is it the perfect colour for fall but it can instantly add character to even the most simplest of outfits.

My New Leather Jacket

Leather Jacket - Topshop

Vest - Primark

Jeans - Hollister

Gold Chain - H&M

Shoes - Converse

 

Today was a very casual day for me as I was just running errands, which is why I'm wearing all my comfy clothes. I also wanted to try out my new leather jacket which you may remember from my Top Leather Items Post. I just finally decided to go out and get it; I've wanted a leather jacket for ages and I just loved how this one fitted me.

 

My make-up today was my everyday eyeliner look which I'm considering doing a tutorial on. 

 

Thank's for reading, I hope you like this look! If you haven't already then please check out my new Youtube channel.

Black & Gold

 

 

Jumper - Urban Outfitters

Pleather Skirt - River Island

Necklace - Hand-me-down

Ankle Boots - Topshop

 

I was definitely it the mood for another one of my all-black days today. It's been rainy and grey outside in a way that is beautifully miserable.

 

I love this pleather skirt! I just like how i can pair it with pretty much anything in my wardrobe. I particularly like combining it with my, now distressed, leather ankle boots from Topshop. I don't mind that they look a bit worn and scratched, in fact i think I secretly prefer it.

 

To add a bit of colour I paired it with this chunky gold necklace which I've been wearing loads recently. Its such a bold piece and can instantly make the most simple of outfits.

 

I hope you like this outfit post! Please comment below any feedback/advice that you have.

My Top Leather Items

Leather is a trend which has been massive this season! Its been seen from the Louis Vuitton catwalk shows to the high street. Personally I love leather/pleather items; I think they have the ability to make an outfit look instantly edgy as well as being able to add some texture. So here are my top leather items of the moment:

 

1) Dress -  Missguided

2) Leather Jacket - Topshop

3) Trousers - River Island

4) Shoes - Choies

5) Shirt - Zara

6) Skirt - Topshop

I hope you've enjoyed this post! Please comment below with any feedback or questions.

The Beginning of Autumn

Hi guys,

I finally feel like autumn has arrived at last and I'm probably in the minority who can honestly say they're happy about it! I love autumn clothes! I love the darker colours as well as being able to experiment with layers.

 

 

 

Jumper - Topshop

Coat - Topshop

Disco pants - Juju

Necklace - Vintage

For today's outfit I went for something warm and cosy. I've recently rediscovered this coat which I bought from Topshop around 2 years ago now. I just love it! It's so comfy, goes with anything and personally I think it looks more expensive than it actually was.

I didn't want to over-accessorize today so I put on my vintage statement necklace. This necklace was actually passed down through the family to me and is probably around 50-60 years old. Its probably one of my favourite items of jewellery at the moment; its so feminine whilst still being a beautiful bold piece.

For my make-up I went for my simple everyday make-up of thick eyeliner and full brows.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this post! As you may notice there's been a few changes to my blog as well as this being the first post I've done using my new camera. I hope you like it and please comment any feedback or questions below.
