Trending: Ankle Boots and Shorts (Coachella Special)

Looking for something easy yet stylish to wear to Coachella this weekend? I've got just the thing for you. Denim shorts teamed with Isabel Marant-style booties. Pair them with a flowy white blouse and a fedora. Go the extra mile and couple to look with a fringed suede bag and retro round sunnies. The combo actually goes with anything. It's super easy, comfy and fashionable to wear.

Oooooh, how I long to go to Coachella. Good music, good fashion and celeb spotting, all wrapped under the sunny, blue sky of California. Hope you all have fun if you're going, I'm sure you will!

Tuesday Ten: Fashion, Style and Blogging Q&A

I have written a 'style q&a' before and thought it would be fun to try some different questions, an 'updated' version if you like. I love and read these kinds of post all the time. I like the fact that your finding out more about that person, not a weird kinda' way. Lily from Whatihearttoday uploaded this video and reminded me that perhaps I should write a post about my life, too! So, next week's Tuesday Ten will be a random/ life q&a. If you want, you can tweet me a few questions you'd like me to answer (@emmafox98). Anyway, this week is all fashion, style and blogging related. Happy Tuesday!


  1. Who's style do you admire? I love effortless sophistication. I admire the likes of Rosie H-W, Alexa Chung, Miranda Kerr and Poppy Delevigne. But I prefer street style, sometimes celebrity style can be a little fixed. I love Rumi from Fashion Toast. She is amazing!
  2. If you weren't blogging, what would you do? Be reading blog's anyway! I'd probably spend a lot of my time doing more school work...ew.
  3. What has been your biggest fashion faux pas? I like to think that every faux pas in fashion has been learnt by. I've definitely had my fair share for sure. Uggs were a huge mistake!
  4. Where are you favourite places to shop? Westfield White City is one of my favourite places to shop and I'm actually going there today. I also love Oxford Street, Kensington and Covent Garden.
  5. What will you be seen wearing most this season? The high-waisted Jamie jeans from Topshop in a pale blue denim. They're the most comfiest jeans I have ever worn! I'd love to answer this question with "A beautiful Celine leather jacket I snapped up last week, of course". But hey ho, I'll stick with what I got, can't have everything.
  6. Where do you get all of your post inspiration from? Sooooo many different sources! Magazines and blogs are your best bet, I enjoy flicking through Style Bistro and Pinterest for extra inspo.
  7. What one word would you use to describe your style? Confusing! I guess it's because I'm young, I'm still figuring it all out.
  8. Who are your favourite designers? Chloe, Oscar De La Renta, Burberry, Valentino, Rebecca Taylor, IRO and Boy. By Band of Outsiders. In terms of high street, I love Topshop (obvs), Urban Outfitters and Zara.
  9. What are you dying to nab your hands on? This needs to be in my wardrobe. Nuff' said.
  10. If you could blog about anything else other than fashion and beauty, what would it be? Oooh, probably music or photography. Although, I can't imagine myself enjoying it as much writing about fashion. 
Hope you had fun reading this! Don't forget to tweet me some random life questions for next week's Tuesday Ten...

Weekend Fashion Inspo

Going to be wearing a soft mix of blue and white this weekend. Paired with black flats and a fedora to edge up the look. Got my inspiration from my Pinterest here. Have a good weekend!

Beauty Note: Spring Caudalie Skincare Set


My sister and I went on a little shopping spree to Harvey Nich's in Knightsbridge a few days ago. We raided the whole dang shop. We stopped at every counter (we had to drag ourselves away at the Space. NK section). And that's where I saw the love of my life. We've only been together for a few days but I think it's true love. The minute we met, whoa, there were sparks. Every Spring Caudalie bring out this grape scented skincare set. It contains the Makeup Remover Cleansing Water, Beauty Elixir (the small, regular size), Divine Oil, Hand and Nail Cream and the Lip Conditioner. All for an incredible £20, sealed in a very useful clear bag. Click read more to see more...

Summer Trend #1: Hollaaaaah Dungas

The once dreaded lumberjacks uniform is now back with a fashion twist. Stars like Millie Mackintosh, Alexa Chung  and Elle Fanning have been sporting these bad boys for a while. Forget ankle length, baggy and unflattering dungarees, it's all about the slightly sexy, playful and cute ones that everyone in the know has got their eyes on. I personally think Topshop do some lovely ones but ASOS do too. Here are a few pairings I've made for if your stuck with what to wear them with. Hollaaaaaah dungas, hello Summer (soon!)...
Top - MIH Jeans, boots - Fiorentini & Baker, dungadress and lipstick in Bombshell - both Topshop

Sunglasses - Illesteva, dungarees and top - both Topshop, bracelet - Isabel Marant and boots - Chloe
Dungarees and flats - both Topshop, shirt - Equipment, bag - Proenza Schouler
...remember, don't wear a trend. Adapt it into your own individual style.

Tuesday Ten: April Essentials


  1. A Colourful Trench - Why I do love the classic trench coat (one can never go wrong with a good Burb), to brighten up an 'April shower' day why not wear this beautiful turquoise cropped one. Trench coats are lightweight (which means it's perfect for Spring weather) allowing you to layer underneath for those chilly days. Pair yours with skinny jeans and a bright, purple blouse for a clash of colour.
  2. Striped Tops - There's something about a striped top. The versatility of it, I think. Black and white stripes fit in perfectly with the monochrome trend or how about a navy and white stripe and go nautical? Or even, team it with the colourful trench for ultimate Parisian style.
  3. Sunnies - That's right baby, the sun is shining and it's time to get those peepers out! April is known to be rainy but quite often it can be really sunny and bright. I usually wear wayfarers but I love these 90's style ones too.
  4. A Pretty Summer Dress - Worn underneath the trench coat with your sunnies on, it would be the perfect combination! Opt for Spring-y colours like pastel green, pink, yellow and soft textures like lace and silk. This one is so pretty but if you're looking for a high-street dress, this Topshop one is equally cute.
  5. Peep Your Toes - Peep toes scream Summer (or warm, sunny weather) but harmonized with simple jeans and a cute shirt, it's pretty easy to work them into your Spring wardrobe. Pastel colours are nice and soft for Spring but this pair are too cute to ignore! 
  6. A Floral Skirt - In bright, cobalt blue or soft, delicate yellow, a floral skirt is a must in April.
  7. Dress Shorts - Forget denim daisy dukes that were the hype of this time last year. It's all about feminine dress shorts, like these. Look for little details that help to elevate the shorts like a scalloped hem or embroidery.
  8. Satsuma Lippy - A gorgeous, punchy orange or coral shade lipstick is the perfect pick-me-up for a dull, rainy day. Although bright orange hues look best on olive skin tones and/ or dark hair shades, you can always try a coral colour (coral seems to look better on all skin and hair shades) that will equally give a nice boost to a grey day.
  9. Light Pastel Knits - Ahhh, I love a good pastel knitted jumper or even a scarf. So delicate and girly. I like to edge the knit up with studded or leather accessories, just like Topshop have done here.
  10. Opulent Flats - Add a flourish to your April looks with chic flats. Whether sequined, studded or embellished, a touch of adornment gives a luxe lift.
...and don't forget an umbrella.

This Week's Fashion Inspo

Think I spoke a bit too soon in my last 'inspo' post. Spring has not arrived (or at least it visited London for 2 days and then decided to go somewhere else) so looks like I'm still stuck in my skinny jeans. Not that I mind, I have 7 pairs!
