This is the second part in my series of Winter Essentials. A popular item at New York Fashion Week was the felt panama hat. It does not appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. This is another way to add flawlessly classic style to your Winter looks.

Panama hats automatically create class. So why not just go with it? Embrace your inner Yves Saint Laurent! Panama hats look incredible styled with long coats, monochrome fabrics and a bold red lip. When styling the outfit below I've tried to keep it simple. It's all about the monochrome, but adding a burst of colour with a red lip and a maroon pointed toe heel.

Winter Fashion Essentials: High boots

Women's Stuart Weitzman Scrunchy Suede Knee High Boot


Hello beautifuls!

Winter is just around the corner, so it's time for my Winter fashion essentials. This is just the first of a series of posts. Firstly lets begin with knee and thigh high boots. 

During New York Fashion Week knee and thigh high boots were everywhere. They create such a classic look. A bit of advice I have been given in the past when choosing shoes is, always buy in a suede black fabric. These not only look a lot more expensive, but tend to date less over time. Here are a few gorgeous high boots, with also the option of a patent finish.

Bamboo platform boots

When styling these boots they should either be a flawless transition or a feature. As a flawless transition they should match seamlessly with the colour of fabric they have been paired with. For example, as shown below, the boots match perfectly with the colour of jeans, creating a flawless transition between fabrics. This transition can be easily created with boots of a suede or suede like fabric.

When styling these boots as a feature avoid having any other fabrics behind them, or style them as a contrasting colour. In the edit below I have styled them with a shorter dress to have them as a feature. This styling will also be perfect to show off your gorgeous legs. 

Key styling tip: The longer dress is, the shorter your legs will appear. Make sure you have a decent gap between the dress and boots. Remember to always keep it classy though.

Cape Styling


Capes are the warmer and longer sisters of kimonos. Adding a cape can create a whole new element to a look. This season they are the perfect way to add an aspect of colour or simple styling. I have selected a few you need to get your hands on.

Styling Tips:

  1. When styling a cape avoid wearing anything wider than the cape, like a full circle skirt or wide culottes. A bodycon midi skirt, skinny jeans or strait leg pants are a perfect option. 
  2. Capes are an excellent way to even out the length of anything high waisted paired with anything cropped. If you are like me (with long legs), trying to pair those can look a bit awkward at times, so adding a cape is a miracle worker.
