Comfy in Strips with Dorothy Perkins

Autumnal Floral with Dorothy Perkins

Autumn is such a beautiful time of year, it has to be a favourite season of mine. I'm lucky enough to share this season with my growing baby and the wonderful people at Dorothy Perkins. This month I'll be sharing my favourite maternity picks from their maternity range. It can feel impossible to find nice fitting and flattering clothes when you're pregnant but DP has my back.

Starting the series of posts off with the sweetest embroidered top that matches this season perfectly. The flower details reflect the wonderful colours of the falling leaves and adds something different to your maternity outfit, not to mention its super comfy. I really recommend wearing loose shirts and dresses so your bump is comfy as can be and helping to flatter your growing bump.

I've found this top is great for everyday comfy wear but also dresses up beautifully with some heeled boots, long necklace and curled hair for some glam mum to be hair! 

Underneath this sweet top I'm wearing DP maternity leggings that are over the bump. Keeping your bump a bit warmer and giving you a little bit of support, I cannot get enough of over the bump leggings. Another big must have! 

Keep your eyes peeled for the next post on my Dorothy Perkins Maternity wear coming very soon!

Autumn Green

It's getting chillier but still warm enough that you don't have to go crazy with your layers. An over sized jumper, leggings and a snug blazer from Sporting Hares is all I need while the leaves all. 

I've tried and tested this gorgeous Beauchamp Blazer and it keeps out those wintery winds wonderfully. I love a blazer this time of year instead of a coat, keeps your outfit a little lighter and always looks gorgeous with a heavy knitted scarf and hat when the icy winter finally comes around. 

I'm wearing the Paddock Green blazer but there is a stunning range of colours for all year round that will fill your blazer gap in your wardrobe. With it's snug tailored fit the details add the experience of wearing this jacket. The Beauchamp blazer is a wool-blend with a taffeta-silk lining, velvet under collar for that snap of colour and wooden buttons. I honestly can't wait till I can wear this without a baby bump underneath so I can reap the full benefits of a perfectly tailored jacket again.

If you're looking for a winter blazer this christmas look no further and make sure you put this on your christmas list! Shop the full colour range here and start dropping the hints!

Palladium Fresh

Everyone loves the classic white shoe come Spring and Summer. It's fresh, looks great with anything and most importantly, it's super comfy! So I'm bringing you a new option to the fresh white table. Introducing Palladium Boots, which are now available in Topshop...making this super easy for you guys to get your hands on these hot booties. 

I love the fresh white kicks look, it makes you feel a bit more secure that the weather is more on your side so you know they aren't going to get caked in mud. But they also look chic with basically anything. Dresses, skirts, jeans, whatever. So I opted to style my Palladium Boots with my ripped knee jeans from River Island and a off the should sweater from Topshop which I bought a few sizes too big for that extra comfiness. Topping my look with my cat-eye sunnies also from River Island.

It feels pretty incredible walking around without a massive coat and knee high boots to keep warm and this is fast becoming a favourite S/S'16 outfit for me. 

I chose the low cut white boots, but they do high tops in white and black in Topshop but a whole loads of other designs on their website. The grip is a super big part of why I love these boots because my vans were useless. They would get really slippery on wet floors and their lack of grip wasn't ideal for the amount I walk and spend time exploring. 

So this summer must have from me - Palladium Boots...shop them at Topshop online! 

Gold Label

Spring is such a beautiful season, where flowers start to blossom against the winter branches, the grass gets greener and the days open up for longer. But the only downside is, it's still pretty chilly.

This however is my answer to all the windy spring days ahead. The Gold Label Cape from HollandCooper is not only beautiful and effortlessly eye catching but it's super snuggly too. It's such a stunning statement piece but also perfect for walks, city breaks or just going out with friends for the day. Every occasion, this piece is purely perfect. 

The wonderful British brand HollandCooper prides itself on being high end British beauty. They use the most incredible Scottish tweeds in their pieces along with high end leathers and suedes to create some truly inspiring and beautiful items that you will love from the day they arrive.

This specific beauty (Gold Label Fur Cape in Brown Herringbone) is from HollandCooper's petite section, which for me is perfect as I am 5'4 capes can often swamp me, but with the perfect tailoring and length it only compliments my height. Naturally this creates a boost in confidence making me feel amazing when I wear it. It has a super snug fur hood too which keeps the spring breeze at bay and keeps you looking amazing even when it's chilly. I just love how this colour goes so well with my hair and making it pop out of the outfit. Not only does it look amazing but it is unbelievably comfy to wear. Can you tell I'm a little obsessed?

This sensational piece of clothing is totally up their with my favourites, being completely diverse enough to wear in the country or out in the city.

Spring Feeling

Hello Spring...about time too, it felt like winter lasted forever. I'm overly keen to see the warmer weather arrive and outfits requiring less layering. However with the fresh crisp wintery winds and evenings, it's still the perfect time to accessorise perfectly with HollandCooper beanies.

This is one of my current favourite Spring outfits, fresh but snug, everything you need to look sweet in Spring. This cable knit beanie in Biscuit is so cute and warm it's perfect for spring outfits in the colder days and with it's paler colour looks a lot more neutral and earthy. I don't usually wear or look good in beanies but I can't stop wearing this gorgeous one! Paired with a fresh white shirt from Jack Wills and their high waisted blue jeans (always go for the high waisted) make for a clean cut outfit for the colder sunshine. With the hat, shirt, jeans and bag it makes for a fresh colour palette which I love in outfits.

As it's still pretty chilly I find taking my gorgeous Preloved Boutique Truro tote out with me, fits everything I need in for a day shopping. A light jacket or scarf, mittens, make up and of course my camera for blogging photos, it fits everything, compliments the outfit and adds another natural tone. It does help when your hair is the same colour as the bag so you can't really have an outfit it won't go with. I have been using this on my little trips to London which fits all my essentials in that I don't want to put into my suitcase. It's a total lifesaver. 

Finishing my spring outfit with my favourite little everyday ankle boots from Topshop which are now reduced to £30 (they are super cute and comfy definitely not a deal to miss) 

I don't really do well in winter as I hate the cold and wet weather but now the sun is shining more I have some lush outfits to blog and they will be up very soon! Some seriously fluffy outfits coming your way! FiveFootFour is out of hibernation!
