I love these street style photos so much. I really need to invest more time in taking outfit photos, especially now it's getting lighter at night. I might enlist my sister the job since I can tell it's a pain in the bum for Dan. I think he gets sick of taking photos of me, poor chap.

I love the fact that it's starting to warm up enough not to have to wear a coat every time I step out of the door. My little fluffy cardigan kept me warm enough for our stroll around North London on Saturday. It looks lovely over everything, particularly this little floral number also from H&M. Me and dresses are having a bit of a thing at the moment, I'm feeling a little under confident and dresses make me feel a little better.

The Sunday Post: London for the weekend

I'm back from our weekend break in London and it was so lovely. We took one too many trips back to Oxford Street, along with eating at some delicious places and watching Non-Stop at the cinema in Leicester Square. I took Dan to Camden for the first time and we headed up Primrose Hill. My feet are falling off and my legs are stiff but all the walking was so worth it. Dan kept asking how my feet were as if they would miraculously soothe themselves. They're still soothing themselves now.

Our apartment was just off Piccadilly Circus on Haymarket, you could see the boards from our window, and just around the other corner was Leicester Square. I could not fault it. The location was absolutely spot on. My feet may be hurting, but they'd be hurting a lot more if we were further out of Central. 

I feel so content when I'm in London, it's by far my favourite place I've ever visited. Every time I visit I discover something or somewhere new which I absolutely adore.

As promised here are some of my favourite street style photos that Emiley and I photographed at Somerset House last week. Just a quick disclaimer, these photos are my sister Emiley's. As a photographer I would hate to discredit somebody for their work so she gets full credit. I essentially got the same shots on a film camera, but the digital ones were easier to work with and much better quality.

I didn't know any of the girls we photographed, we just picked people whose outfits we liked. You can tell we prefer the more 'normal' dressed girls over the ones who like to peacock and wear the completely bizarre outfits. I think it definitely inspired me to make more of an effort and be a little more adventurous with my style. I'm particularly in love with Charlotte's outfit in the last photo, I pinpointed the co-ord and the blazer to Topshop and I'm so tempted to try the whole outfit one when I'm in London this weekend.

I've managed to find a few of the girl's blogs, but if you recognise any others then please let me know.

The Sunday Post: A Day in London

Anyone who knows me knows I'll run off to London any chance I get. These chances don't crop up as often as I'd like but when they do, oh boy do we have fun! My little sister has been on half term this week so we headed down on Monday and jumped straight on the tube towards Somerset House. I had to shoot a film of street style for a university project and my sister was taking the same photos on her DSLR. I was going to put these all in the same post but I think I'm going to do a separate post for my favourite street style that we photographed that day.

After that we headed up to Oxford Street paying a visit to the usual, Topshop, H&M, Primark. I decided H&M Oxford Circus is what I'm aiming towards. It's such a gorgeous store now that it's all finished and the decor in store is perfect. Definitely my favourite, and that's where I want to be a visual merchandiser.

I also took my sister for a little stroll down Carnaby Street. She liked it. I knew she would. It's so quant and pretty just tucked away off the main bustle. We stumbled upon Liberty which we failed to find on our last visit and couldn't resist a peek inside, let's just say we felt right out of place, everything was so beautiful - and pricey! But we did bump into Helen George from Call the Midwife. I was a bit unsure whether to approach since she was out shopping, but alas, I did. She was so lovely and thanked me for watching the show (I'm a new fan this season) and believe me she is stunning!

Our last stop was Five Guys, which after a trip to Covent Garden then to Angel we finally got to taste their wondrous burgers. Oh sweet Mary they were good! And the novelty of the drinks machine with it's 100+ options will take a while to wear off. I'm back for the weekend with Dan so I'll definitely be treating him to one.

Hope you've all had a lovely week!

Boxy handbag: £34.99 (available instore and online)

Remember the day when you used to get told off for taking photos in shops? I do, I was one of those annoying teenagers who used to an armful of items into the fitting room and not buy any of them, I think maybe that's where this whole love affair with fashion started. Well anyway, your allowed to take photos now, in H&M anyway. I don't know how other stores feel about it so don't go snapping away like the paparazzi else the staff might get offended.

H&M have thought up their own app (HMLoves) which anyone can use to share your favourite things and outfits on Twitter, but mainly Instagram. There's also a competition running for the most stylish outfit to win £250 to spend in store. Who wouldn't want to win that? I'm not sure when the closing date is so I'd get in there quick if I were you.

I picked out some of my favourite bits from Divided at the moment. I've since bought the floral kimono and a black dress which came in after I photographed these. The black cardigan is going to be perfect for spring, when it's maybe a little too cold to go bare on my arms but warm enough not for a coat (I can't wait for those days!). I've tried the stripy crop top on since and I'm not so keen on it, it's not as cropped as I thought and the arms are really tight. Finally, how could I not include THE blue bag. I've got the black one and it's just perfect!

DESCRIBE YOUR BLOG IN THREE WORDS. Fashion, Personal, Photography

DESCRIBE THE LOOK This is an outfit based on the transition from winter to spring. I have kept it lightweight with a sheer blouse & sweat pants but with the practicality of a warm winters coat. I enjoy focusing on the finer detailing within outfits, garments which are pretty simply until you get closer - It’s all about depth and textures.

HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN? I have read blogs for around 5-6 years; studying fashion at college & university I used blogs and magazines for daily inspiration. And then one day I thought it would be a pretty cool idea to write a personal log of my own outfits. That way whenever I am stuck for what to wear I can go back to my blog and find inspiration. It has evolved so much from when I first started and I like the idea of it being my little diary which people read and enjoy.

WHAT’S THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN? My mum is always the first port of call for advice and the one that has helped me out the most is ‘never loose sight of your end goal’ I keep this in mind whenever I feel in a rut etc.

WHO ARE YOUR STYLE ICONS? I love Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen

WHAT BRANDS DO YOU LOVE? My favourite brands are probably Zara, H&M & Monki.

TELL ME SOMETHING UNEXPECTED ABOUT YOU. I want to get a motorbike license.

BEST PLACE TO FIND A BARGAIN? I am a sucker for an eBay bargain - the majority of sunglasses I own are from there, if you dig deep you can usually find some great treasures.

FAVOURITE ITEM OF CLOTHING YOU OWN. If you read my blog you could easily pin point my favourite item at the moment and it would be my oversized boyfriend coat.

PLANS FOR YOUR BLOG THIS YEAR? I haven’t got any set in goals for my blog, just to keep evolving it and gain long term readers who enjoy coming back to read.

IF YOU COULD TAKEOVER ANY BLOG FOR A DAY WHAT ONE WOULD IT BE AND WHY? I read on a daily basis www.abeautifulmess.com by Elise & Emma. Its such an amazing blog with lots of food & cocktail recipes, amazing DIY’s and great photography. I can imagine they are two amazing, creative, exuberant women that get together to try lots of new cocktails and food just because they can.
