Street Style: Aya Monteverde

Aya Monteverde is a random girl caught on camera by the Vogue Street style photographer. These photos came from the street style blog that Vogue.com have going. Like with the Sartorialist's photo's, I think this photo captures the person. Aya has such a great personal style but also has a really beautiful face. I thought that her street style photos were worth sharing as she reminded me that style is personal and that when we dress we must stick to our roots and dress how ever we feel most comfortable; even if that is a poo coloured beanie or the leopard print leggings we were told were so 2008.  If we feel really comfortable and confident, it will always look good. 

Aya wears:

Hat: Carhartt

Coat: Comptoir des Cotonniers

Shoes: Nike x Liberty trainers

Jumper: Topshop

Leggings: ZARA

Bag: Monocle

Flowers: Colombia Road Flower Market

Eyeshadow: Chanel

Mascara: Chanel

Style File: Phillie in Valencia

At the moment I am in Valencia, taking a Spanish course to upgrade my (currently dismal) Spanish speaking abilities.  With no return flight booked yet,  I do not know how long my trip out here is going to be, but I do know, for the first few days in Valencia, I had a real holiday. My gorgeous friend Phillie flew on the same flight as my twin sister and I.  You may have met Phillie on my blog before. She is a girl who knows how to dress.  As I have previously stated, her style is very classic and well put together. She is also my hair-spiration (she has hair that rivals Kate Middleton).

Whilst we were in Valencia, I took a number of photos of her outfits.  They were too gorgeous not to!  Here is what Phil wore out to dinner last Saturday night.

Jeans: GAP

Top: ZARA

Handbag: Bally

Necklace: Thailand

Watch: Follie Follie

Shoes: Converse

Minted v Skinted: The White Sleeveless blazer

We all love a bargin, so here is a little bargin for you! ...provided you want to buy a sleeveless white blazer.

This blazer is from the luxurious, dead-trendy clean grunge brand Rag & Bone.  The cut is beautiful, the fabrics are expensive and the design is intricate.  Just look at the perfect stitching, the textured leather and the shape on the shoulder. *sigh*  

Unfortunately the majority of us cannot afford £370 jacket which we would wear on special occasions in the fear of spilling balsamic vinegar down it.  So I present to you the more bank-friendly version from ZARA. 

 

Style File: At the Coffee Shop

Boring post?  Yes probably.  But I thought I would share with you, blog reader, that I did drink coffee the other day and that I was wearing clothes.  Nothing out of the ordinary really.  I mean you wouldn't have a coffee naked would you?  

I wore:

Grey Beanie: Zara

Neon sequin grey jumper: Whistles

Necklace: South Africa

Nails: Jessica

Leather Look Leggings: Miss Selfridge

Coat: Zara TRF

Watch: Longines

Shoes: Long black riding boots by Bertie

You have probably gained nothing from reading this post.  Its not like your learning to cook a delicious healthy recipe or learning about a cool new clothing brand.  If anything this post is just to show off that I like my wardrobe and the coffee is good at a cafe called Margo and Julia's in Parsons Green. So thanks.
