iCatchers: Classic Black&White

























Never underestimate the dramatic effect a simple black and white combination can have. The likes of Elin Kling and Emmaneulle Alt, demonstrate time and time again, the outcome of pairing a white shirt with black jeans and a belt is always striking, modern and highly chic. I find COS always provides simple black and white items with a more contemporary twist.

High Street Wishlist


1. ZARA cargo pants
2. MAC nail polish
3. TOPSHOP contrast sleeve dress
4. NIKE trainers
5. MANGO massive shoulder t-shirt
6. COS contrast cuff knit top
7. ASOS leopard band straw hat
8. WAREHOUSE side peplum skirt
9. OASIS pony leopard clutch bag
10. MAC mini strobe cream

I'm thinking if I could ask Santa to send me an early Christmas gift, this combination of items would set me up for a nice amount of blog posts! The Mango top, the white skirt, and the nike trainers: all together would create the perfect outfit!

Bomber

(TOPSHOP shirt, THREEFLOOR dress, URBAN OUTFITTERS jacket, BOOHOO.COM wedges)

















There hasn't been enough opportunities to wear this dress. Originally I had planned to style it very simply, with a tuxedo black blazer, black strappys and some needed layers of tan! Unfortunately the weather in Ireland does not allow for either the summer clothing, or the opportunity to tan. Look forward to wearing it in New York, a city considerate of these vital fashion conditions.

Pleather All The Way

(ZARA blazer, COS tee, H&M Bag, PENNEYS pants, BOOHOO.COM wedges)







(Maureen Lynch ring, Michael Kors watch, bracelets: Penneys, Asos, Topshop, American Apparel nail varnish)

Haven't worn my fringe pinned back like this in a while. I was alarmed at how my forehead seems to have grown. Scary. On a lighter note, Penneys are pulling out all the stops for their Autumn Winter line making it almost impossible to justify shopping anywhere else!

Mustard

(TOPSHOP tee and gilet, COS dress {altered}, WHISTLES belt, ZARA skirt, RANDOM clutch, ALDO heels, URBAN OUTFITTERS bangles, MICHAEL KORS watch, TOPSHOP beaded bracelet)













I told you you'd be sick of these shoes. And this gilet. Oohps! For your sake, I think I'll lock them both away and throw away the keys, before you get totally fed up and resign to clicking 'unfollow'! Eeek!

The Drop Waist

The Drop Waist

The drop waist dress results in an elegant and super pretty look. The doll-like style is every girls dream and as seen on Atlantic-Pacific, can be worn in a variety of ways. The Topshop squirrel-patterned dress (No. 7) has to be the most adorable item and should be hanging in my closet ASAP! River Island's leather version is giving you the opportunity to grunge up this dainty ensemble. DO IT!
