Paris 2.0

So this is a post for my other outfit I wore on my Parisian break. 


The shirt was perhaps my favourite purchase for the summer. It is from Reiss, which is my favourite store. I love that the material of the shirt was a blend of cotton and linen, as it was scorching hot there. I paired this shirt with black tailored trousers, simple and I had them tapered down at my calves. 


As you can tell I'm wearing my Ray-Bans in the previous pics, below I'm wearing a pair of Celine sunglasses, which are super modern and unisex. My view on sunglasses are choose whichever compliment your face. I don't think many sunglasses should be gender defined anyway! Here's my version of the Blue Steel! 

Hope you can let me know what you think of this amazing statement shirt.

Parisian Fashion!


Hi! I have been AWOL for a while because I've been coming up for more fashion ideas and exciting ways to display the latest trends. Now I aim to make it more consistent. 

Just this past weekend I travelled to Paris, France. I hadn't been there in a very long time, so it felt like the first time again. There is a lot of style to live up to, especially in the Fashion capital! 

Recently, I tried to combine smart classic looks with a modern touch. On my travel, I went with two looks. The first I will display on here. I wore a short-sleeve white shirt, with folded sleeves and combined that with some skinny chinos in a check print. I think the check print adds a certain excitement to a simple outfit and it's perfect for the summer season. 

I am not particularly into short sleeved shirts but I felt a bit more confident this year and opted for the look. 
This is me walking down a road in Notre Dame, the chinos were perfect, not too thick material and it didn't let me boil in the roasting sun. (It was HOT!) I'm wearing a pair of Leather plimsolls which were so comfortable and a go-to staple item in any wardrobe. I tailored the trousers so they would skim my ankle and give my feet room to breathe. 

The rucksack co-ordinated with my shoes as its leather and padded. Great to avoid looking like a tourist, which is always my goal! 


My sunglasses are Ray-Ban and they have a rose gold tint to them. They are a staple for any summer holiday. 



My belt is from American Apparel. I love the belts from there as they stock a variety of different colours. 

I hope you like this outfit and let me know what you would wear on a Parisian weekend!
