Favourite Autumn Outfits 2020



 As we are now coming to the end of Autumn and the beautiful orange leaves are falling off the trees, I have decided to look back through my outfits and chose my top five autumnal favourites from my Instagram @graciemariekeenan. 

Over this last season I have come to realise that style wise, Autumn is my favourite because I love layering and being snuggled in warmer clothing. I also love the colours that come with autumnal outfits, the chunky boots paired with oversized blazers and the introduction of hats and scarfs. So here are my top five.

Outfit Number One


I know I love an outfit when it makes me feel like a million dollars and this outfit did just that. I was having a bit of an outfit inspiration block so looked on Pinterest for some new ideas. I found some of my saved photos and I noticed there were so many military mixed with suit style outfits so wanted to put my spin on that. I had had my eye on these H&M trousers for a few months and finally treated myself to them. They are wide leg smart suit trousers but paired with the chunky boot gives them a modern twist. Adding a black roll neck to colour match the boots makes the trousers the main focal point of the outfit. As the trousers are a statement, I chose to keep the rest of the outfit simple so the outfit doesn't become cluttered. I decided on hair down, no necklace and simple gold earrings to match the gold buckle on the belt. 

Outfit Number Two


This outfit is one of my all time favourites. The coat and skirt set are from the latest Lorna Luxe InTheStyle collection which I love. Since rewatching Friends and seeing Rachel Green in coat and trouser/skirt co-ords, I have been on the look out for some. I felt like I could have been in Emily in Paris in this outfit and it made me feel great. I chose to pair the co-ord with my signature black roll neck, tights and boots and added a splash of colour with the beret. I wore this outfit to work and was on cloud nine all day. These are my favourite type of outfits because they are so easy to construct but look really thought out.

Outfit Number Three



For this one I have paired two together as they both involve the same blazer and I loved them both equally. The first picture was such a simple outfit consisting of the co-ord trouser and jacket together.  I styled the trousers tucked into the H&M boots to give a masculine/military style similar to the first outfit. The second outfit started with my usual base of a black roll neck, mini skirt and tights. The blazer added some colour to an otherwise all black outfit. As the blazer has a very boxy style, it needed a belt to give me some shape and define my waist. To finish the look I added my Zara 90s style chunky loafers, my trusty everyday cross-body bag and then all gold jewellery to match the finishes on the other accessories. Both very easy but stylish and modern looks.

Outfit Number Four


This is a classic example of a casual autumnal outfit with plenty of layers. I have four different layers on my top half in this outfit which I think all contribute equally to the final look. Staring off with the basics of a white t-shirt and jeans then adding a cardigan for a bit of colour. The blazer over the top smartens the look but the extreme rips in the jeans also keep it casual at the same time. To make it extra autumnal, the baker boy hat and coat finish the outfit off nicely. This look reminded me a little of Eponine from 'Les Miserables' but a little bit more upscale!

Outfit Number Five



My final autumnal outfit speaks very much to the London Girl style I love (and not just because the jumper says London on it!). Starting off again with a simple black oversized t-shirt and blue jeans then layering the sweater over in a casual but chic way. I added a chunky gold chain and gold buckle KG slides to elevate slightly. The final touch of the trench coat and bag made me feel like I was walking the streets of Chelsea. I believe that adding a trench to any look can make it look a little bit more expensive.

So they are my top Autumn outfits and I'm ready for the winter looks now! More layering, chunky knits, big boots and plenty more coats to come. 

All my love

How to Style… A ‘Wild Like Her’ Hoodie

Image
Hello! For the next blog post in the 'How to Style' series, I have chosen to style a simple hoodie. This is a staycation edition as most of us are once again unable to go abroad on holiday this summer! This hoodie is from Wild Like Her and was gifted to me by the amazing owner Cathryn.  Wild Like Her is a brand that sells cosy and extremely well-made jumpers, hoodies and t-shirts and I was lucky enough to get my hand on one of the hoodies with the ‘note to self’ in mint green. The detailing in this hoodie is so unique and unlike any hoodie I’ve ever owned. Firstly, it is so fluffy and soft inside so is guaranteed to keep you warm. There are two extra pockets and a loop to attach your keys to... inside the main pocket! I have never seen that before but it makes so much sense! My favourite part of the hoodie is the small note that is on the left sleeve. It is such a great idea for when you are having a tough day.  So onto the styling... 1. Sporty Look I got this hoodie in a si...

My Favourite Black Outfits June 2021

Image
I have really been enjoying playing around and creating outfits recently and found myself inspired to turn them into this blog! I created the first two and realised that I had done them head to toe in black, so chose to carry on with that theme. If you hadn't noticed from my previous blogs, I really like to wear black. Some of these are looks i've worn before and some I created specifically for this blog. These are mainly evening outfits or occasion outfits so not for everyday, but I don't need a reason to dress up these days! I use the same headband in quite a lot of these outfits because I am obsessed with it at the moment and love the vibe it adds to the looks. Hope you like them! 1.  I was having a conversation with my cousins and sisters about if it is acceptable to wear black to a wedding. The general consensus among them was no, but I think I am on team yes. I think black can look super elegant and chic and make a small statement and I would definitely wear this to a...

How to Style... Black Espadrille Wedges

Image
Hello again!  So the second blog in the 'How to Style' series is gong to be about black espadrille wedges. My wedges are from Zara and I've worn them in now so they are super comfy, but they didn't come that way! These are mostly summer outfits as you don't tend to wear espadrilles in winter but some can be tweaked for the colder weather. This blog post really made me realise that all my clothing is from Zara and H&M!  1.  Wedding Guest/ Special Occasion THIS DRESS! I love this dress so much. It's from H&M last S/S collection and I wanted it as soon as I saw it. The colour is so bright and beautiful and mixes so well with other colours. I saw so many great ways to style it and different colours to style it with on Instagram last year. Emerald green goes really nicely as well as red but I quite like to style it with black. I wish I had got this dress in size S because this M is quite big but I still love it. I styled it quite simply with the wedges, a rea...
