<span style="text-align: start;">For my third and final installment of 'Styling Cowboy Boots', I chose to re-create an </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ü</span></span><span style="text-align: start;">ber fashion-forward look and don them with cycling shorts. As was the case with the jumpsuit in <b><a href="https://astyleisborn.blogspot.com/2019/03/styling-cowboy-boots-part-i.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Part I</span></a></b>, it works because they are both linked to the utility trend.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">I think it's fair to say that when we first saw Kim Kardashian in cycling shorts, we all had a little chuckle and thought </span><span style="text-align: start;"><b style="font-style: italic;">yeh, you're not getting me in those. </b>But, as usual, her fashion influence was too strong to avoid.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">At first I was wearing them casually with t-shirts and trainers but I soon moved on to styling them with blazers which I guess, with hindsight, was inevitable (I love blazers!) An oversized shirt and strappy sandals also make for a super chic outfit when worn with them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whether we’re in spring or autumn, I love to transition to the next season in a dress and boots combo. After years of bare-legged nights out at university, my pins are immune to a bit of a chill but I do like to keep my tootsies warm. Add a chic jacket and you’ve got all eventualities covered.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So this is how I’ve been wearing my cowboy boots (AKA the western boot) at the weekend when I’m largely ticking off my to-do list. You know those days when you pop into town, grab a cortado, buy some Zoflora and dog biscuits and generally just have a mooch around? Yeh, they’re perfect for that (as is the boilersuit btw!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even though this is a semi-casual ensemble, I must say I wouldn’t wear a flat version of the western boot with a boilersuit because you need a bit of a heel to elevate the look. <b><i>You want to appear refined; not like you’re actually working in some sort of refinery.</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The reason these boots work so well with a jumpsuit is that they’re both trends falling under the umbrella term ‘utility’. I feel like that word is filling my inbox almost as quickly as the initialism GDPR when the data protection law took effect, but it’s far more welcome there; I have never felt so inspired by a trend. It’s elegant and timeless – as though the wardrobe I'm building this season is going to work for me forever. <b><i>And that feels good.</i></b></span></div>

Those patterns embodied the most gorgeous shades of brown – it almost seemed inevitable that the colour would pull through as a trend of its own. That also means wearing it is a great way to update any animal print you had last season, to bring your wardrobe forward into 2019.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Fabrics like leather and satin seem to show the shade at its best so look out for those. These textures work especially well if you wish to wear brown with black as you’ll need a stronger contrast between those two colours. Traditionally, the combination has been frowned upon but there are ways to do it: I’ve been wearing a brown, faux-fur coat with black <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BsyGsPGFSwH/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">denim</span></a></b> and black </span>leather in this post <span style="font-family: inherit;">and the mix of materials makes it totally wearable.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the catwalk, outfits have been created with several shades of brown together, including some head-to-toe looks. Pairing it with whites and creams is also really dreamy – I’ll be doing that closer to summertime. In addition, the trend is still featuring heavily in the AW19 collections so it’s worth investing in now.</span></div>

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this is the first time I'm speaking to you on this platform in 2019 actually so I hope all of your new plans and goals are well underway. But if they're not: get your head back in the game, push reset and start again - <b>YOU GOT THIS!</b><br />
<br />
Most people say January goes by slowly but I've personally been very stressed through not having enough time to complete everything I'd planned. I guess that's the danger of resolutions: putting pressure on yourself can actually be counter-productive. <b><i>When will I learn?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, on to fashion. I briefly mentioned in <b><a href="http://astyleisborn.blogspot.com/2018/12/this-time-of-year.html" target="_blank">my previous post</a></b> that I was shopping a bit more sensibly now and this skirt suit is the perfect example of that: it's something I've always wanted in my wardrobe, I can style it in a multitude of ways and the print is nothing less than a classic.<br />
<br />

<br />
I've always wanted a skirt suit but each time a new trend hits my Instagram feed, I, for some reason, buy into that instead. And do you know where those clothes are now? In boxes waiting to be sold on for a fraction of the price.<br />
<br />
We're all guilty of this because the advent of fast fashion has changed all of our shopping habits for the worse. However, I can't help but I feel like I've lost <i>me </i>somewhere along the way. We seem to be living in a society now where garnering cheaper clothing (and subsequently posting pictures of it) has become synonymous with having style, whilst the creativity that goes into combining key pieces to make a sartorial statement is undervalued.<br />
<br />
Over the past year, my wardrobe has gained its first <b><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YRpP" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Gucci bag</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YRso" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">a Burberry scarf</span></a></b> and this <b><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/YRtK" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">skirt suit</span></a></b> - items I've always coveted - and <i>boy, does it feel good</i> to be ticking those pieces off my wishlist rather than <i>yet another item</i> without their longevity.<br />
<br />
That's not to say I won't follow trends anymore, but I will be more selective. <b>*Bank balance breathes a huge sigh of relief*</b><br />

<br />
As we head towards Spring, I'll be wearing these items separately a lot more. I'm looking forward to playing with proportions and teaming the blazer with a longer-line bottom half. As for the skirt, the cowboy boots I have my eye on are the perfect addition to make it SS19-ready. I'll probably try the monochrome print out with some colour as well (neutral hues, of course.)<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've noticed a shift this year: a shift for the better. A shift towards a more gracious and a less wasteful Christmas.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's a concept on which Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has campaigned for some time: why do we splurge on gifts we can't afford? And even if we can afford it, why buy items for the sake of it? It has all got a bit <i>too much</i>.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In a more general sense, Stacey Dooley, among other documentary-makers, have remarked on the waste caused by our consumer habits. This is particularly true of the fast-fashion industry and I've already taken steps to buy less and buy better.</span></div>

It's ironic that some of these photos are taken outside Manchester Central Library because the very word 'corduroy' always seems to remind people of <i>that</i> teacher at school who smelled entirely of stale coffee and dusty books. Fingers crossed I manage to alter that image in this post with my take on the trend.</div>

As a material, corduroy can be pricey but you get what you pay for: it's tough, it's warm and it also makes you feel all kinds of luxurious. I found <b><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Wmx6" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">the one I'm wearing in this post</span></a></b> to be a good mid-price option and I'm more than happy with the quality.</div>

Now, you might have seen a lot of this trend in suit form. I decided not to go for a pair of trousers as well because I felt that the cost per wear would pale in comparison. Without exception, a good blazer will make me go weak at the knees and that's how I want to fill my wardrobe - with pieces I love (particularly since the recent, shocking revelations concerning the fast fashion industry and its impact on our environment.)</div>

Even though I typically don't wear too much colour, cord blazers have been designed in a number of absolutely stunning colourways this season so it seemed a shame to stick to black. I especially love all of the rust and brown tones and I'd actually suggest going for one of those if pink isn't your thing as brown is an emerging trend that's going right into next year. I've recently created a <a href="https://www.pinterest.co.uk/astyleisborn/brown/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Pinterest board</span></b></a> on the shade if you'd like some inspo.</div>

Currently, I'm styling it with jeans but once I get hold of the exact denier of tights I want (WHY is it so hard?), I'll put it with a mini skirt as well. As much as I love my mom jeans, I think I'll stick to skinny and flared denim when it comes to styling the corduroy blazer. So far, I've found that a more slimline look on the bottom half better complements the heavier look created by corduroy as a material.</div>

I started to wear it again back at the beginning of summer when I found my gorgeous, zebra-print shirt that you will have seen on many an occasion if you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BkVp3o9gIvm/?hl=en&taken-by=astyleisborn" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Instagram</span></b></a>.<br />

Leopard, snake and zebra have long been prints I adore and thankfully, they seem to crop back up every so often. As such, I try to keep the pieces I buy because I know this is one of those trends that is cyclical.<br />
<br />
Whilst thirty isn't old and we don't quite need to worry about looking like Bet Lynch in animal print <i>just </i>yet, it does mean that I've lived through this trend at least four times now therefore I've picked up a couple of tips and tricks along the way that I hope you find useful.</div>

Ask yourself what is the one item you couldn't live without? And then buy it in animal print. As long as you are doing 'you', the print won't look aged or dated. It will also fit seamlessly into your closet just like any other staple you own.</div>

Yes, you read that right. It's not often we want to look 'less than' but this is one of those trends that people really do worry about overdoing. At Max Mara, p<span style="text-align: center;">rints were repeatedly clashed and I noticed something interesting: the prints actually seemed to neutralise one another, leaving a look that is both </span>effortless and stylish. You can also see how I'm clashing animal print with other patterns in <a href="http://astyleisborn.blogspot.com/2018/11/check-x-snake-print.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><b>my last post.</b></span></a></div>

Happy Tuesday, loves! I've long been a fan of clashing prints but there's something about this combination that's got me head over heels in love this season. You can either match brown tones together as I have here or you can get the look with grey tones.</div>

This was a bit of a last-minute post idea but it seemed the best way to share my outfit with you. Some affiliate sites and brands don't work together, meaning I can't share certain items with you when I really, really, really want you guys to be able to easily check them out if you so wish.</div>

The simple, jersey material ensures this piece fits like a dream. It's also really great for layering under big, winter coats. If your size is sold out in this piece, I've linked two alternatives on my <a href="https://astyleisborn.blogspot.com/p/sh.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">'SHOP MY INSTAGRAM'</span></b></a> page.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When it comes to shirt dresses, I like them to be a bit longer as it elevates the overall look. Therefore, when I saw this one in Topshop last year, I actually ended up buying it from the tall section.

<div style="text-align: center;">
I wear this bag in so many ways: as a belt bag; as a clutch; with the silver ring as a handle, Chloe-Nile styleeee; and just as a standard belt (it detaches).</div>

First day back home in Northern Ireland and I've been shopping in Ballymena. Like a magpie, there were plenty of gold and layered necklaces that caught my eye. I'm particularly drawn to anything renaissance-themed at the minute and I'm enjoying playing around with different combinations of my jewellery together: more is definitely more in this case! My new one (pictured) is from Pretty Little Thing, who have absolutely nailed this jewellery trend. I've linked some more of my selections from their site below, alongside a mixture from other brands and some options to make your own layers if you don't want to buy a ready-made one.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I often find myself mindlessly scrolling through <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/PvZL" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">ASOS</span></b> </a>and all of a sudden an item jumps out at me that I just know is going to instantly sell out. These Chanel slingback dupes were no different. Into my basket they went and I have not looked back since, wearing them with everything from jeans to shorts to dresses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The distinctive two-tone, toe-cap design is synonymous with Chanel and comes in a number of styles: espadrille; mule; flat; pump; ballet shoe, but the slingback just screams classic Chanel so that is what makes the <b><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Pv1w" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">ASOS Sanders Mid Heels</span></a></b> the perfect dupe for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, they do continue to be out of stock and whenever a pair is returned, they always go again before I get to tell you guys on social media. However, they have another colourway which is VERY similar to one that Chanel also creates and I have found some alternative styles in case the heel and/or slingback isn't to your taste. All featured below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love bags. Bags and shoes. I always say they're my "things" but in reality, isn't that the case for all girls?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Today, though, I'm going to explain how I shop for my much-loved arm candy. In my collection, there are three types of bags:<br />
<br />
<u>Seasonal</u><br />
<br />
You know how it is nowadays: each season, there's a super-coveted bag trend that takes over your Instagram feed and you just have to indulge. I, for one, am seduced every time, and don't even try to resist temptation. I mean, the FOMO is real, guys! However, I find it really hard to choose <i>just one piece</i> as the stores begin to stock their shelves with their individual versions and that's a problem for my bank balance. This season, like last summer, it's all about the basket bag. So far, I've stuck faithfully to my <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/MdRz" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Topshop Bella Tote</span></a> but I could make a case for why I need all of the ones below to be honest: one with some black detailing would look so cute with a black, floral, summer dress; a darker-toned one would look amazing next to white; and one with gold hardware would match those adorable, new shoes I just got - the list goes on!<br />
<br />
This time, I stuck with my gut and chose a plain, neutral straw bag that would go with everything because that's the basis of the interchangeable wardrobe I desire. At the end of the day, I don't want to spend too much time planning how I'm going to style something that will only be around for 1-2 seasons. Moreover, I want to get my wear out of it since it has such a short shelf-life. I also considered the functionality of the bag: this trend has been developed from a style that is taken to the beach year after year therefore I chose to size up and really replicate that vacay vibe.<br />
<br />
Shop my pick of trend:<br />

<u>Designer Classics</u><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm quite fussy when it comes to adding designer items to my wardrobe because I want them to last a long time, in terms of both durability and style. For that reason, I don't buy the on-trend pieces I was talking about above from haute couture designers (even though I am DESPERATE for one of the<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/KBac" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">GG Marmont quilted leather belt bags</span></a></b>!)</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.1px;">My most recent purchase - <b><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Medx" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">the Gucci</span></a></b></span><b><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/Medx" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;"> Dionysus GG Supreme shoulder bag</span></a></b> - was largely chosen due to its print: I was looking for a piece that was unmistakably Gucci. To have something stand out in that way is one of the things I look for in a designer piece.

I do look for dupes of designer bags that are trend-led. As I said earlier, I'm a sucker for a seasonal trend but I am also fully aware that I won't want to wear that style forever. Buying highstreet versions is therefore a win-win for me. Mango and Zara, in particular, seem to study the accessories on the catwalks meticulously, offering great alternatives to the designer versions each season.<br />
<br />
This year, I spotted the <b><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/MekQ" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Mango Seam Cross-Body Bag</span></a></b> and it instantly reminded me of the currently-popular <b><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/MemJ" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Valentino Garavani Rockstud Spike</span></a> </b>which, let's face it, will be gone from our Instagram screens as quickly as it infiltrated them.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There were a number of Gucci bags I wanted, including the <b><a href="https://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/gucci-marmont-gg-mini-leather-cross-body-bag_141-77035800-446744DTDIT/?previewAttribute=Perfect+pink" target="_blank">GG Marmont</a></b>. I was actually a bit unsure as to whether to go for the brand at all because I already have a Gucci belt and really wanted to widen my luxury brand collection. However, for me, Gucci has been killing it season after season for a couple of years now so I just thought <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><b>stick to what you love</b></i>. I eventually came to the decision to get the Gucci Dionysus, partly because of this season’s logo mania trend and partly because the pattern is so classic; it is unmistakably Gucci.</span><br />

Well, it's official, guys: I've had my first bare leg day of 2018! Even though many parts of the U.K. have had snow this week, spring is definitely just around the corner; I can feel it. And my wardrobe is <b>MORE THAN READY</b> for it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The top trend I am planning for at the minute is <b>'western wear'</b>.<b> <a href="https://astyleisborn.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/western-wear.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">My first ever blog post</span></a></b> was on the same topic back in 2015 if you'd like a good laugh. As embarrassing as that post is, the sentiment remains the same: to nail this look, you need to pay attention to your materials, textures and details. Suede, leather, fringing and gold buckles can turn the simplest outfits into on-trend masterpieces. And if you're adding blue denim - keep it dark for SS18.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A website that I have found to be ahead of the game when it comes to the latest trends is <a href="https://www.reveuseonline.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Reveuse</span></b></a>.

Millenial pink was everywhere in 2017 so I thought it was only right I end the year with this <b><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tHrJ" target="_blank">plush pink coat from ASOS</a></b>. To be honest, it was a purchase I thought a lot about in advance, as you guys know I don't like anything too colourful, but I really haven't looked back since I got it. And, my oh my, do I get lots of compliments each time I wear it! For this look, I added a bit of 90's layering underneath; a trick that is 100% essential at this time of year, especially if you're missing your summer dresses.</div>

I'm experimenting with my photography a lot at the minute so you might see a few different edits on my next couple of posts. This is because I have a whole, new look coming to the site soon and I want to figure out what looks best before I roll it all out. I also have a new camera lens arriving which I'm super excited about - 2018, I have arrived!</div>

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! How did everyone celebrate? We had a huge party for my oldest friend's 30th birthday and it was so much fun. To be honest, I'm not normally the biggest fan of NYE but having something special to do was really nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm also not really into making resolutions; the concept of confining your life improvements to a particular time of year is nonsensical to me. However, after travelling to Copenhagen in November, I've caught the travel bug and now want to go EVERYWHERE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nyhavn was definitely my favourite part of Copenhagen and if I were to go back, I'd most likely just stay there for a few days rather than travel around to other parts of the city. We started our time there at Café No.11, an amazing spot for a coffee. I got a latte to take away and jumped on a river cruise to explore the city. Afterwards, we walked along the rows of pretty, coloured houses and stopped for a bite to eat. We loved the Danish gl<span style="background-color: white;">ø</span>gg and cinnamon biscuit tradition so much that we recreated it over the Christmas holidays - yum, yum, yum!</div>

Hi guys, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I've been feeling festive since our trip to Copenhagen in late November and in particular, since our trip to <a href="https://www.tivoligardens.com/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Tivoli Gardens</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My cousin is doing a Masters in Denmark so came to meet us for the day at the world's second-oldest amusement park. <span style="background-color: white;">Whilst it is most often called an amusement park, there's so much more to see and do with gardens and a lake to walk around and plenty to eat and drink. </span>At this time of year, it also hosts the Copenhagen Christmas Markets and there's <span style="font-family: inherit;">g</span>l<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">øgg (the </span>Danish<span style="font-family: inherit;"> version of mulled wine) galore.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If I don't speak to you before NYE then I'd like to wish you all a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR and thank you for following me throughout 2017. Next year will see many changes to the blog and I hope to have you along for the journey!</span></span><br />

Wow, it's been about four weeks since I last blogged but it feels like little more than two days; this last month has absolutely whizzed by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you may have seen on Instagram, Nick and I went to Copenhagen for five days therefore I have a few posts all about the trip. I've chosen to start with Vesterbro - the uber-trendy district in which we stayed. Famed for its ongoing "gentrification" process, it is often likened to London's Shoreditch and is home to the Meatpacking District and even a mini Paris (my favourite part, of course!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We stayed in one of the <a href="https://guldsmedenhotels.com/" target="_blank"><b>Guldsmeden hotels</b></a> and it was truly delightful. The franchise is devoted to sustainability with organic products throughout (which is true of Copenhagen in general to be honest). And the design of the hotel is not compromised as a result; the decor is every bit as Scandinavian as you would want (this was a major requirement of mine when searching for places to stay.)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Vesterbro is full of independent, swanky bars and restaurants to be seen at. On our first night, we ate in the Meatpacking District at what is effectively a wine bar with food called Paté Paté. That's not to say the menu isn't extensive however; I had some of the best food of my life in there including this gorgeous, white chocolate cheesecake:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another stylish restaurant known for the popularity of its food and drinks in equal measure is Madklubben. They put tasty twists on cocktails and Nick claims to have had "one of the best steaks of his life" there.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On our final night, we chose a concept restaurant called Kiin Kiin Bao Bao that we'd been eyeing up all week. It serves Asian tapas via an order form where you simply tick what you'd like and hand it in - cool, huh?</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was absolutely thrilled when Bio-Essence and Babushka PR
gifted me with this amazing product because I really needed to devise a new
daily skincare regime as I approach a VERY big birthday (eeeeeek!) The main
reason I chose the <b><a href="http://www.bioessence.com.sg/products/24k-bio-gold/" target="_blank">Water </a></b>(aside from the fact it contains GOLD) was because it wasn’t
a step I previously had in my routine. This has now been added in as a firm
staple and it’s the first thing I put on in the morning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In this new <i>'My Daily Skincare Routine'</i> series, I’m going to talk you through my skincare regime step by step across different posts so that I can fully
explain why I love the products I use. Besides, who wants to read a massive
essay?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><a href="http://www.bioessence.com.sg/" target="_blank">Bio-Essence</a></b> calls this product a <i>treatment </i>to be used after cleansing and before moisturising (traditionally,
it would be the toning step I imagine) but for me, it works really well as a
cleanser and toner combined.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I once saw an interview with Salma Hayek where she explained
our skin replenishes itself overnight with natural oils to combat aging and
other damages. As a result, she doesn’t wash her face too much in the morning
and ever since, neither have I (I mean, have you seen how good she looks? I was
always going to jump on that bandwagon!) And to be honest, I immediately felt
better for it. A lot of facewashes just dried my skin out to the point where my
moisturiser couldn’t do its job properly anyway. Additionally, classic cleansers
are usually cream- or serum-based which do NOT sit well on my t-zone therefore
something light like this <b><a href="http://www.bioessence.com.sg/products/24k-bio-gold/" target="_blank">Gold Water</a></b> is great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In terms of toning, my skin is firmer than ever. After battling
(and overcoming) insomnia four years ago, it came back earlier this year and so
did the bags under my eyes. I'm thankfully getting over the worst of it now and
since using the <b><a href="http://www.bioessence.com.sg/products/24k-bio-gold/" target="_blank">Gold Water</a></b>, I've seen the biggest improvement on the elasticity
of the skin around my eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m such a fangirl when it comes to the gold in this
product. Each time the gold flakes appear in the palm of my hand, I get a teeny
bit (OK, a lot) excited!</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The 24k Gold has a protective purpose as an
anti-oxidant but, most notably, when you use it, your skin becomes more radiant
than ever: I now use less highlighter when I wear makeup as my skin is glowing naturally and it
also smoothes out my complexion, making me more comfortable on my make-up-free
days.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Haha just messing about at the end there! We usually get a few of these (completely unorchestrated) shots and I never put them into posts but I'm considering featuring a few from now on - what do you think? I recently spoke out on <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BakHCYolY3x/?taken-by=astyleisborn" target="_blank">Instagram</a> </b>about how I just need to do my thing among all the posing sometimes so if it's something you guys like then I'll add more to my blog and social media.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, a lot has happened in the past two weeks: we've booked a trip to Denmark and Sweden and I've found out I'M GETTING ANOTHER FRENCHIE PUPPY FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! If you follow my InstaStories, you'll have seen I was whisked off for a surprise on Saturday and that's what it was.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So now I'm maniacally planning all things Scandinavian as well as birthday celebrations (it's a big one!) and in the background getting everything ready for a puppy in the New Year. If anyone has any recommendations on things to do in Copenhagen, Odense or Malm<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ö, please comment below or email me (astyleisborn@gmail.com). Also, if you have any puppy questions (I read a whole book on the topic at the weekend so I'm basically an expert haha) or conversely, advice to give, then please get in touch as well!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On to the outfit... I've had these <b><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/lmhW" target="_blank">Topshop</a> </b>jeans for a while so they've unfortunately sold out now but I've linked alternatives below. I really love straight leg denim at the minute.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Florals aren’t exactly novel as a trend, especially in Spring and Autumn, but I do enjoy the new façade they take on each time they come around. Typically light and ditsy in the warmer months, the SS17 catwalk was instead awash with bolder-than-ever blooms so now that AW17 is upon us, I figured it would be perfectly acceptable to exchange its standard dark tones for this prettier number.<br />

On top of that, the pink trend is going nowhere this season so I picked up on a couple of the shades in the dress for the accessories. Talking of which, I am OBSESSED with fur bags at the minute. Have you seen Topshop’s selection yet? I want them all:<iframe frameborder="0" height="246px" seamless="" src="//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/#/?options=%7B%22widgetId%22%3A%2259c930a761d1dd45bcccb10b%22%2C%22version%22%3A1%2C%22pid%22%3A%22uid8900-38105170-9%22%2C%22size%22%3A171%2C%22columns%22%3A3%2C%22rows%22%3A1%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fapi.shopstyle.co.uk%2Fapi%2Fv2%22%2C%22iframeHeight%22%3A246%2C%22iframeWidth%22%3A618%7D" style="border-style: initial; border-width: 0px;" width="618px"></iframe></div>

Usually a Tuesday Instagram post of mine, #tuesdayshoesday is now going to be a regular on here instead - HOW exciting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To kick this off, I had to choose the most eye-catching design I could find and what's more striking than GOLD! (always believe in your soul.) Don't act like you weren't singing it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you will know, I love my silver mirror boots (see <a href="http://astyleisborn.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/im-not-most-girls.html" target="_blank"><b>here </b></a>and <b><a href="http://astyleisborn.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/gingham-and-silver.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>) so when these popped up on the <b><a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/hot-toddy-pointed-boots-6905921?bi=0&ps=20&Ntt=toddy" target="_blank">Topshop </a></b>site, I was faced with a dilemma I still haven't conquered: to buy more metallic boots or not to buy more metallic boots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HELP!</div>

Gingham is traditionally associated with picnics and
countryside kitchens, or, for many of us, childhood. There remains to this day
a photo of me on my dad’s fireplace sporting some rather fetching lace-up,
canvas trainers with thick, white rubber soles and block heels in an
unforgettable shade of orange check. I kid you not.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Moving forward twenty years, I am relishing the challenge of
modernising this nostalgic textile which is why, after stating that <b><a href="http://astyleisborn.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/how-i-decide-if-trend-is-for-me-gingham.html" target="_blank">I'm stringent when it comes to new trends</a></b>, I’m writing another post on the very
thing (let’s face it – you knew I’d end up buying more than the top!)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I had already attempted to make the trend contemporary with
exaggerated ruffles and the oh-so-on-point v-throat mules in <b><a href="http://astyleisborn.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/how-i-decide-if-trend-is-for-me-gingham.html" target="_blank">the aforementioned post</a></b>. However, my recent obsession has been gingham and silver. The pairing is
an unlikely one but the contrast works on so many levels: muted vs. metallic
tones, traditional vs. futuristic, country vs. city, to name just a few. Plus, there’s nothing I love more than being unpredictable ;)</div>
