Style Pick: Reggie Yates & Tia Ward

I was going to base this style pick on just Reggie Yates, seeing as I haven't done a menswear post in soooo long, but I couldn't possibly write this without including his stunning model girlfriend - one of my style goddess' Tia Ward. So why not? This style pick is on one of the best dressed couples out there!

In the least stalker-ish way, I've seen these two quite often around where I work in Oxford Street and they're always looking freshhhh. But what really stands out to me is their instagram feeds (@Regyates & @misstpw) and Tia's blog www.tiaward.com. As a pair, I love the vibrancy and contrast of colours through their style of shooting and the clothing that they're wearing, which they both bring to their feeds... it makes a change to all these monotoned looking instagrams and also reflects their personality more to their followers, which is so important in making style personal to an individual. 


I have HUGE shoe envy on both of them and Reggie's instagram literally makes me want to cry with his regular footwear posts alongside his hashtag #myshoeview - And it's not like any 'sneakerheads' instagram... he has a large variety of types of footwear, from basic slip-on vans to some next bright neon pink laced Y-3's. The style of the shots are incredible too, usually birds eye view... so it is literally HIS SHOE VIEW. 


       

As for Tia... well, I just want to own her whole entire wardrobe (oh... and her makeup and selfie skills). She has true talent in the way she ensembles an outfit and AMEN to the fact that she blogs it for us all to see. I would describe her style as dynamic yet daring. Always suits the occasion and brings the perfect mix of current urban trends with simplicity and elegance. If I could post all of the looks I love of hers, you might as well just check out her blog. 

Here are a few of my favourites: (Taken from her instagram & blog)



Possibly the best sports luxe look ever?!

And also, can we just take note of how flawless ever single one of these shots are...

Style Pick: Kylie Jenner

You will either love or hate this style pick, but Kylie Jenner is my guilty style pleasure. Without a doubt, anyone from this family can not be said to have a bad dress sense! And just turned 17!!! Kylie is killin' it... of course with the help of stylist Monica Rose, one of my inspirations! 

The world is her catwalk, constantly in media's attention either being criticised or adored - but she will always pull off her individual edgy look, suiting every occasion: from food shopping to a red carpet event. I love the way she mixes chic and classy with an urban touch and I'm always taking style steals as it's a reflection to my personal style.

Here are some of my favourite Kylie looks: (Warning... Jail Bait!)
We all love a camel coat ATM to add a touch of class to any outfit, even if we are only going food shopping... unfortunately, Kylie's Max Mara one is a little out of my budget... so I guess I will just have to stick with Zara TRF prices for now. 



I love the dark looks that Kylie has in these insta-shots and the way that she has paired two of the outfits with heels to enhance her femininity and to add that slight bit of chic look to the ensemble. These outfits can be acceptable for so many events without looking too over the top, whilst still standing out. 

Proving heels can be worn WHENEVER and WHEREVER - Don't be afraid to wear those heels in the day time girls!


*Sigh*... A just turned 17 year old is rocking almost any trend better than  most grown women... Come on Kylie, just share your wardrobe with us.

Winter Top Picks: Footwear

Disregarding the fact I work for a trainer store, I always seem to struggle with my choice of footwear for the winter - if they're warm enough? if they're protected from the rain? It's probably one of the most difficult areas of an outfit to focus on.


Here's some of my choices from trainers to boots for a night out that will be versatile and stylish for this winter!
