Polyvore Styling

I've been interested in styling for some time now and Polyvore is an incredible tool to allow you to showcase your creative style and it's also great to look back on in months by! I kind of fell out of touch with the site for a while last year but have since rediscovered it and I've really enjoyed putting together some looks that are rather weather appropriate for the current season. 

Feeling Parisian

The French have such a classic sense of style; so effortlessly chic, worn perfectly by the likes of Clemence Poesey and Alexa Chung (despite her British roots). I have always loved he simplicity of French, in particular Parisian style and so on my trip to Paris last weekend (posts to come soon) I really got a feel for the fashion and beauty worn by Parisians. 

A uniform of monochrome or the classic sailor stripes seems a very obvious choice and one that I can most relate to in my own personal style. Plain tees paired with black skinny jeans and boots is so simple but it just seems to work in France. As for make-up, I noticed women walking round with barefacee, glowing skin keeping it au naturel while still managing to look great. Those who do wear make-up wore a red lip and winged eyeliner, oft not at the same time and again with bare skin. It's all about the no make-up, make-up look. 

Et voilà, a look into how I saw Parisian fashion and beauty. Très chic!

Sorry I've been slightly MIA lately, I've been absolutely overwhelmed with university work and the prospect of my degree finishing in just over two months! It's been such a crazy time and will be until I finish so unfortunatly blogging has been put on the back burner for the foreseeable future. Today though, while perusing River Island I spotted this t-shirt, in fact several printed tees like this one, and I very nearly took it to the till and bought it. But I've decided that if I'm ever unsure whether to buy something or not I'm going to leave it and then try to plan a full outfit with it. If I can do this then it's something worth buying; if not then it definitely isn't. 

I absolutely love this look I've put together, especially the monochrome and the added the pop of colour from the coat. This would also look great with the pink coat I already own from Topshop, I have quite a thing for bright coats at the moment. I think this is an outfit I could wear everyday and I pretty much own a variation of everything here anyway! Minus the Celine, one day hopefully...

Would you wear this outfit? Do you like seeing these kinds of styling posts?
