Combat Trousers

Hello Fashionistas, 

I hope you're all well and would like to wish you all a happy and productive week. 

So, the time is getting closer, where I will be settling into one city. I am so excited as I can finally be at one place and shoot more. 

Recently, khaki and combats have been reigning in fashion. Firstly, I wasn't feeling them, but decided to buy a pair of trousers anyway just in case I changed my mind and I did. 

I decided to pair my combat pants with a vest top from mango and a white jacket. The reason I decided to wear mainly white is because firstly, I love wearing white and secondly, I wanted to achieve a kind of chic, but elegant look without using bright colours or black. My pants are from primark if I remember correctly and the shoes I am wearing were bought about 2 years ago. Now that I am in love with khaki. My wardrobe is full of them. 

At times, I find khaki such a difficult colour to work with because if you don't colour block properly, your outfit would look a disaster. So, I suggest wearing khaki pants with black or white depending on the shade of the khaki colour. 

As always... Thank you for passing by and I love you for reading. Elle xoxo

Casual chic

Hello Fashionistas, 

I am back.... I hope you're all having a good start to the week. I know that Monday's are not necessarily enjoyable, but we can make the most out of it. 

Anyway, I am back with a new outfit to show you guys... I've always wanted to wear jeans with a white top so I decided to pair it with my flowery top from T.M Lewin and a bright pair of heels to add colour. I hope you enjoy 

   Jeans: Marks and Spencer's 

   Smart shirt: T.M Lewins 

   Shoes: primark 

I also added red lipstick to make the outfit bright and colourful. 

As always, I love you for reading and thank you for passing by. 

Love Elle xoxo 

The white situation

Hello lovely fashionistas, 

As promised I am back again... Yeah!! This time instead of wearing pants, I've decided to turn it up. 

Ohh and by the way, I totally forgot that my blog's anniversaire has passed. HOW CAN I FORGET SUCH A THING... Well, this is what happens when you hardly have time for anything, but with all that being said.. I would like to take this moment to show my gratitude to all who have encouraged me to continue blogging.. As I have began to grow, I have learnt that you firstly blog for yourself and then for others. I really appreciate the kind messages received through social media and on email. How encouraging. Thank you so much guys!! 

Anyway, here's what I shot the other day with my beautiful photographer Esperance K, she did an amazing job. I decided to turn it up with an all white outfit. A white turtle neck top and a white pencil skirt. I added black tights because I don't really like to show much flesh and just felt that it would have looked more sophisticated with a pair of tights along with my wine red heels from Nine West at Kurt Geiger. I hope you like it!!

The camel coat and shades of blue

Hello beautiful fashionistas, 

I am sure that you're having a wonderful day or evening wherever this has found you. 

I do sincerely apologise for the absence and somehow always seem to complain about being busy, but seriously one cannot imagine how chaotic my life is. I am active 7 days a week and travel between two cities every single week; therefore it is very difficult to blog as much as I want. The good news is that I will be stable and finally settled within one city very soon so I am extremely happy about that. Yesterday, me and my wonderful photographer spent so many hours shooting new looks... You want to stick around because I'm very excited to show them to you. Although we had so much fun, I was glad when it was over because my feet were killing from all the different heels I had to put on. Hehe. She did an amazing job!!! Thanks to her! 

Anyway, about the look. This look has to be on my top 5. It just has Otilia (my name) written all over it. It is typical me. What I love about it is that it is so simple, yet so chic and stylish. I am a sucker for simplicity, but like to stand out at the same time. The coat you're seeing here was purchased on eBay... I wanted a camel coat for so long, yet I couldn't find one and one night, I went on eBay; found this Italian company who were selling them. I love the hat, it just adds to the look and makes it stand out somehow. I decided to pair my dark jeans with my light blue blouse because I wanted to do something different and guys..... Check out the croc boots!!!!!!! IN LOVE. Can you believe that they are so comfortable to walk in? Seriouuy take my word for it, I prefer comfort over everything so there's no way I would wear something that feels like hell on my feet. Ladies be kind to your feet.

Thank you so much for your patience and as always... 

I love you for reading.. Love Elle xoxo
