Street Style with Taylor and her Girl Gang!

 If you've been following me for a while, you'll know just how much of a Taylor Swift fan I am.  So I have to admit, I was excited to see Taylor's street style back alongside her girl gang... including Gigi Hadid, the Haim girls and Blake Lively!  I'd pretty much do anything to join this girl gang.. but instead let's break down their street style.

Starting with Taylor, keeping it simple and classic, with a little black set, matching black Chanel loafers and tortoiseshell sunglasses. She's finished the look with a pop of red including a Stella McCartney bag and her signatory red lip.

Gigi Hadid is giving a cue on exactly how to wear double denim this season.  It's all about oversize light denim jeans and a matching oversize denim jacket.

The Haim sisters are also wearing two of this season's biggest trends, the bomber jacket and trench coat paired with knee high boots.

And then there's Blake Lively, looking absolutely flawless after giving birth!  Blake is also wearing another trend this season, the waistcoat.

I can't decide a favourite!

Trend: Denim Midi/Maxi Skirt

 Perhaps this season's biggest trend is the denim midi and maxi skirt.  Whether you opt for a midi at the knee (as seen on Kendall Jenner) or a floor scrapping maxi (as seen on Gigi Hadid), it is an essential item for your wardrobe.  What I love about this trend revival is that you can literally take it from day to night.  For a casual day look, pair it with a tee, loafer and a cute bomber.  For a night look, pair it with a singlet, blazer or trench coat and add a finishing touch with a heel or bootie.  I cannot get enough of this trend and I can't see it going anywhere, anytime soon!

Farfetch x Style Profile

One reason I started blogging, was to share my love for fashion and style.  I would frequently be asked where I purchased my clothes, upcoming trends and my style secrets.  It's been six years since I first started my blog, and while trends have come and gone, one thing has always remained the same... my style and aesthetic.  This post is inspired by Farfetch's Blogger Content Pack which I recently received.  The pack is a combination of Fashion Edits, Trends, Blogger Style and an insight into Farfetch's affiliate boutiques.
MY STYLE
I would describe my style to be minimalist, refined, yet feminine. I'm all about the basics and adding trend pieces.  I stick to white, black, navy and grey.  I also incorporate pastel and metallic for a little fashion twist.  I'm big on stripes and love a legging.  I think it's important to invest in and build your wardrobe, to take you from season to season.  There's are a few of my wardrobe essentials.

STYLE INSPIRATION
I draw the majority of my style inspiration from celebrities.  I would say Olivia Palermo is my Style Icon.  She has the ability to make any piece look amazing!  I'm also a fan of Rachel Zoe, her love for fashion and style is infectious.  I'm addicted to Gigi Hadid's style.  I love her fresh and innovative take on style and trends.  As a child and teen, I grew up drawing style inspiration from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.  Till this day, I'm still inspired by their style.  I also draw inspiration from the runway, street style, magazines, online fashion sites and other bloggers.
BLOGGING AND MY STYLE
Blogging has definitely impacted my style and the way I dress.  People look to you for inspiration.  It's essential to be ahead of the trends, know what designers are stocking from season to season, and be aware of new products.  I've really refined and defined my style since blogging, and I love sharing my style and favourite pieces with my readers.

FAVOURITE TRENDS THIS SEASON
The slip dress is my favourite trend this season.  You can really make it your own. Dress it up or down, with a bootie or sneaker.  Add a little tee underneath with a bomber jacket or trench coat during cooler months.  Finish with a pair of sunglasses and a tote or clutch, and you're ready to go.  I also love the off the shoulder trend, leather leggings trend and long trench coat trend.  Take these trend pieces, mix them with your core wardrobe pieces and make them your own!

The Pyjama/Boudoir Edit x Farfetch.com

  The Pyjama/Boudior trend is a huge trend for Spring/Summer 2016.  The trend has graced the runways of Dolce and Gabbana, Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Celine and Alexander Wang.  Celebrities including Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner, Whitney Port, Karlie Kloss and Rihanna, have embraced the trend creating their own little spin.  When it comes to styling the Pyjama/Boudior trend, you can either embrace the complete look, or can incorporate pieces with your everyday wardrobe.  Like Selena and Whitney, you can embrace the complete trend and wear your pieces from day to night, and of course, bed.  Alternatively, you can opt for a more subtle approach like Gigi and Kendall.  Kendall has added a basic tee with her slip dress, while Gigi has added a bomber jacket (another staple this season) with her slip dress.  

I've picked out a few of my favourite Pyjama/Boujoir trend pieces.  I've also included a few beauty picks to complement your look.  All pieces are available via FARFETCH.COM.

Lauren Conrad's 'Celebrate' Book Launch

If you loved Lauren Conrad's 'Style' and 'Beauty' books, then you're going to be completely obsessed with her latest book, 'Celebrate'.  'Celebrate' is about creating the perfect gathering.  A must-have guide for entertaining and party planning. 

For her launch, Lauren wore a pink dress and a strappy nude heel from her LC Lauren Conrad collection, available at Kohls. Her make up consisted of a deep berry lip and Lauren's signatory cat-eye.  The pretty in pink event, even included, a mini Laguna Beach reunion!  Yes, Dieter and Trey, from 'Laguna Beach', were there to support Lauren.

The Black Leggings Edit

The black legging is a core basic for every wardrobe.  It's now, however, become one of the biggest trends.  It's a piece that can take you from day to night.  Take a cue from Gigi Hadid, who wore a pair of leggings with boots and a leather jacket.  Then, for a more casual look, she wore the same leggings with a singlet and Adidas Superstars.  Kendall Jenner opted to wear leather leggings for her model off duty look.  She wore leggings with a fur coat and a bomber jacket.  Selena Gomez and Karlie Kloss have embraced a more sleek look.  Selena wore leggings with a long shirt, crop jumper and a pump, while Karlie opted for a similar look, but with leather leggings and a trench coat.  Then there's Olivia Palermo and Poppy Delevingne's street style looks.  Poppy wore leather, denim and fur, while Olivia wore a turtleneck, coat and MaxMara sneakers.  I personally love leggings, and believe you can never have too many!  I've picked a few of my favourites that you can shop by clicking the items below.
