How to Style Ugly Sneakers

How has your weekend and Thanksgiving been? Have you been rocking some killer fall/winter outfits? Comment down below what your current favorite winter outfit is! I’ve been up in Newcastle this week visiting my brother, exploring the city, and eating lots of food, most importantly of which was our Thanksgiving meal! Although we missed our Tennessee family, it was nice that Fergus and I got to spend it together and try out cooking it for ourselves! We did pretty well apart from our roasted veg could’ve been…well a bit more roasted! Anyway, the day after our Thanksgiving meal, Fergus took me touring around Newcastle and took some awesome shots for this week’s post featuring my ‘ugly’ sneakers!

We may call them ugly, but everyone who’s anyone in the fashion industry has been rocking these less-than-sleek babies, from Gigi Hadid to bloggers to models in the Louis Vuitton ads . They’ve also been called chunky trainers, dad shoes, and a fashion Frankenstein. There are obviously endless ways to rock them, but these are my top three ways I would recommend to pull off your own dad sneakers.

Fall #OOTD

How are you all doing on this cool Sunday morning? I hope you're enjoying the cooler weather as much as I am! (I honestly couldn't stop smiling the first day it was under 60 degrees haha...I'm such a cold-weather person!)

Today, I just wanted to share with you a fall outfit that I'm loving right now! I was inspired to pick up this pinafore dress from Topshop, by my all-time-inspiration, Megan Ellaby (check her out if you haven't already. She's a dream!). The rest of the outfit fell together from there.

How To Accessorize Like a Fashion Blogger

This fall I've been experimenting with different types of accessories and how to style them successfully. Although I'm quite a minimalist when it comes to accessories, I do like to add touches here and there. After researching how all of the most fashionable of fashion bloggers are styling their accessories, I've come up with my tips for successfully embellishing without going overboard!

Adding Color to Your Fall Wardrobe

I hope all of you had an awesome week. I don't know about you, but my week has been very busy, so I'm happy to just be sitting, writing, and chatting with you guys.

Typically, fall consists of darker colors like jewel toned greens, deep burgundies, and and burnt oranges, but I've decided to incorporate some other colors into my fall wardrobe, just to spice it up. You can never go wrong with a pop of color.

On Trend: The Ebroidered Bomber

Today I wanted to introduce a new type of post that I will be incorporating into my blog every now and then. I'm calling it the On Trend series. I will pick one trendy item for a particular season and then create an outfit around it.

For this first On Trend post, I decided to go with one of my all time favorite trends of the year, the bomber. This one in particular is an embroidered bomber, which are very on trend, especially for this fall and winter. I chose a black bomber with an almost asian inspired embroidery on both the front and back from Zaful. This jacket has quickly become one of my favorite jackets for everyday. It's easy to throw on, like most bombers, and the colors goes with everything, of course.

Transition into Fall

How is your Sunday going? I hope it has been full of cool October weather and some free-time to just chill.

Transitioning into fall this year has seemed a little harder than normal. I think it has been because one day it's in the 80s and the next day it will be in the 50s (Fahrenheit, just to clarify)! I've had to be pretty creative in the outfits I come with.
