*AFFILIATE LINKS USED THROUGHOUT*
From one day to the next over on the grid, we get asked a series of questions; from styling tips, to where our outfits are from and to where we are shopping at the moment – you guys love to ask and we love to answer! So we thought, it was about time we dedicated a blog post to answering some of your most asked, fashion themed questions…
Q) ‘Should I be investing in a beach/holiday bag?’
A) We can confirm a good, straw or raffia bag is 100% worth investing in; especially if they are from the selection below! These bags will stay in style from one year to the next and aren’t just limited to holiday/beach use – they also make the perfect & practical bag for the warmer months!
Q) ‘What are your go to travel outfits?’
A) I think we can agree that when it comes to travel, comfort is everything – nothing is worse than being on your feet or stuck on a plane (especially with kids) when you don’t feel comfortable! So for the past few years, we have been committed to travelling in comfy yet chic co-ords – and I’m sure you can guess which co-ords are our favourites…
Q) ‘What designer bags are worth investing in?’
A) Asking what bags are worth investing in is definitely one of our most requested questions – and we understand why! Deciding what bags are worth the price tag can be tricky; but with our years of experience, we think we are qualified to give you suggestions of a few bags we think are timeless & therefore worth the splurge…
Q) ‘Best Capsule workwear buys?’
A) Workwear is all about finding those classic, staple pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a range of outfits. For us it’s all about a good tailored pair of trousers, a classic shirt, an oversized blazer and a practical (yet stylish) pair of shoes. Once you find those staples it’s all about mixing some more trend led pieces to create those chic yet staple looks. That being said, finding those staples isn’t always easy – so luckily, we have done it for you! Here are a few workwear pieces we are loving…
Q) ‘What are your favourite, everyday trainers?’
A) As everyone that follows us will know, we have a slight trainer obsession – so choosing a favourite pair seems like an impossibility! However, we do have a few that top our most worn list and make the perfecr everyday pair….
Q) ‘What are your go-to pair of jeans?’
A) For both us, our denim of choice is always a pair of high waisted, straight leg jeans; a classic style that seriously flatters every body shape. As well as being flattering they are also extremely versatile, can take you from day to night & be smartened up or down. Here are some tried & tested pairs that we love…
Q) ‘What’s your take on the oversized blazer trend?’
A) We are all for an oversized blazer! They are beyond chic and are the perfect transitional day to night piece. For us, an oversized blazer is such a must-have at the moment & and there are so many great options out there – here are some of our picks.
Q) ‘Loving everything at H&M at the moment – what are some key pieces you’d recommend?’
A) H&M really is one of the best – they have such a vast and great selection and always have the most amazing trend led pieces! There are a few H&M picks in particular that have really caught our eye, and we would definitely recommend these as being key wardrobe staples for the season ahead…
Q) ‘Best high-street sunglasses?’
We love a designer pair of sunglasses, however, the high-street options at the moment have been next level good! We have found so many on trend styles that really do give you that designer vibe for a fraction of the price; here are our very best finds…
Q) ‘I’m struggling to find good maternity wear – where do you recommend looking?’
We’ve been pregnant throughout different seasons and we can confirm that whatever the weather it’s really tricky keeping your style when pregnant. The offering just isn’t that great and we both struggled…even as stylists! As a general rule we have tended to stick to floaty, easy to wear dresses mixed in with maternity tees and floaty trousers in the summer and for winter some really good maternity jeans styled up with regular knits & blazers but just sized up. We didn’t buy a lot of maternity pieces aside from some staples, but instead stuck to shops and silhouettes we know we love & sized up. We’ve shared some of our most loved maternity staples below…
