The Perfect LBD


LBD: ASOS

The classic LBD must be elegant, flattering and obviously black! I found my perfect match at ASOS during the summer sales with this lacy asymmetrical number. The wraparound style with asymmetric hem makes it up-to-date and instantly upgrades the dress from simple to sophisticated. The lace acts as a light cover up of the arms and back for modesty and also distinguishes it from other styles; it adds an extra element to the details of the dress. 

Based on my personal opinion I also think the dress looks much more expensive that I got it for, the material is of a good quality and overall fits the body well. Previously it was £65.00 but is now £19.50 an extremely reasonable price for an classy dress that can be worn to a variety of different occasions. The dress is still available currently on the ASOS site but in a limited amount of sizes.

Autumn in Greenwich



Heeled Boots: Zara
Leather bowler bag: Ebay
Printed scarf: Zara 
Jeans: Primark

A more simple outfit this time with more concentration on the stunning architecture in Greenwich. Greenwich is a definite must-see place in London as you can capture some beautiful symmetries in the famous landmarks, as well as visiting where Thor 2 was filmed ;). We stayed mainly near to the National Maritime Museum and the Cutty Sark and just up the hill is the iconic Queens House which,  sadly, I did not visit this time round but is also definitely worth seeing. The beautiful weather complimented this Autumn day perfectly for me to get some outfit photographs!

I went for this grey speckled roll-neck jumper which is an extremely popular trend this Autumn to keep cosy and I can see the roll-necks staying in trend for a while. I have worn my boyfriend coat to death however it is the most practical option and matches my extra extra warm Zara scarf which is like a blanket (wrapped around my bag as seen in photos). Best till last: my boots!! These boots are very comfortable, and so amazing, but as a personal preference, I would not walk long distances because the heels can become painful after a while (as they do). Overall, I suggest investing in these burgundy boots at the current reduced price of only £19.99 and also in the black colour - quick though, I don't think it will last very long!
