Sometimes less is more. Today's Parisian-inspired look is one of my favourites for a long time so I hope you like it too! We were recently asked if we'd like to review a pair of the new Elia. B shoes from Brand Boudoir. I was extremely excited because I met the team behind Elia. B at Pure London last year and knew how amazing their footwear was. The oxford brogue is a classic shape which is loved by fashionistas and style icons including Alexa Chung, Olivia Palermo and Sienna Miller. Made in Italy, these patent brogues are by far the nicest shoes I own. As soon as I took them out of the box I could tell they were extremely well-made. I ordered a size 39 which is the perfect fit for me even though I can sometimes be a UK 6.5. Walking in them is almost like walking on air (haha). Brand Boudoir have lots of Elia. B styles to choose from, I want some of their loafers next! What do you think? Would Alexa be proud?

My basic black v-neck tee is from UK boutique Black White Denim, who have recently launched their own BWD basics range. Everything is made in England and feels so luxe! I am a firm believer in buying quality over quantity, this t-shirt is more expensive than your average t-shirt but you only have to touch it to realise why. It's beautifully cut and I would love to fill my wardrobe with the other pieces available. I'm wearing a size small which is the equivalent of a UK 10, I decided to size up so it wasn't too clingy and I definitely made the right choice - I wouldn't want it any tighter. I paired it with my new Nico Hudson Jeans from The Dressing Room because I love an all black look!

Although it was sunny, it was still a little chilly at the weekend so I also wore my new UNIQLO navy trench coat from the Ines de la Fressange collection (currently sold out). This is a size small but I would recommend sizing down if you prefer a slimmer fit, I'd say it's more like a UK 12. At the moment, you can win £300 to spend at UNIQLO by uploading a Parisian look via Instagram and this is mine...Pretty chic, non? ;) There are more details here if you'd like to enter.

I wanted to keep my accessories very simple as the French often do, so my Dior Demoiselle 1 sunglasses are from eyewear brands and my classic Ashleigh satchel is by Twist & Tango. I actually won these sunnies in a giveaway last year and I've been waiting for the weather to improve before wearing them! If you need a new pair of glasses they're worth checking out, they have a massive selection by various designers. SWOON.

Would you wear this outfit? Are you a fellow brogues lover?

  23. I had admired these shoes on instagram so I had to come and search for the full post! This is also my favourite background of yours. I always want to do a railway post but all of ours in my area are still used and I don't want to die.

  24. Love the Uniqlo trench - I ordered it but sadly it was way too big and too long for me. Lovely pictures and great styling.
