Style Icon: Clémence Poésy

 

I'm sure most peoples' first encounter with Clémence Poésy was when she starred as Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter, the Triwizard Tournament champion from Beauxbatons. I remember being completely entranced by her effortless style, and not much has changed! She also played Eva Coupeau in Gossip Girl, my favourite TV show, and she managed to radiate the same simplicity and elegance as she did in Harry Potter, and does in her day-to-day life. She never fails to look completely perfect, even when her signature style is messy, unbrushed hair and not a scrap of make-up. Her fashion sense is typically French, very sophisticated, simple and refined. I love pretty much everything about Clémence Poésy and really look to her for style inspiration!

Day to Night: Black Stiletto Ankle Boots

As soon as these gorgeous Stiletto Ankle Boots* from Shoe Zone arrived on my doorstep, I was ridiculously excited to style them. They're classic and sophisticated, and I can picture myself wearing them with so many different outfits! I wanted to write a 'day to night' post to show you guys just how versatile a good pair of black ankle boots can be, as they are the perfect wardrobe staple for any occasion.

For my daytime look, I paired the boots with my Topshop Joni jeans, Warehouse striped polo-neck (similar) and Debenhams trench. This is such a simple but stylish outfit, and I would class all of the items as staples in my wardrobe, as they can be dressed up or down with anything. I topped off the look with my H&M floppy hat, which I mentioned in my April Favourites.

To transition the look to night, all I had to do was swap the trench for my Mango leather jacket (another wardrobe staple!), add a red cashmere scarf to keep me warm, throw my hair up into a ponytail and apply a coat of my KIKO frosted lipstick in 04. 

This day to night combination would be so convenient if you only had a few minutes to get yourself ready for an evening after spending the day out, as it doesn't involve struggling out of your jeans or trying to get a top over your head without ruining your hair and make-up. It's amazing how much you can change a look by simply swapping outerwear and accessories! I try to keep quite a minimalist wardrobe of clothes that can be worn in a variety of ways, so I hardly ever wear the same outfit twice or in the same way, keeping my fashion choices stylish and exciting but also affordable!

I thought I'd include a few closer shots of the boots so you can really appreciate how lovely they are! For stilettos, I found them remarkably comfortable and I think I could manage short distances and standing in them, which is more than can be said for a lot of my shoe collection! I love their elegant pointed toe and the curve of the sole, and I think the gold zip adds a bit of detail to set them apart from your average black boot.

I couldn't really not include this photo as I look so intensely excited, but I hope you liked the outfits I put together! Let me know if you'd like me to do more fashion posts like this one, and I'll get on it in the summer after my exams!

April in Photos

I love looking back over all my Instagram photos every month to put this post together for you, it reminds me of all the fantastic things I've done in such a small space of time! I'm feeling really content with life right now, despite being hugely stressed for my A levels, as I feel like I finally know the direction I want to go in terms of university and my career. It's amazing what a difference it makes to have something to work towards! I'm really looking forward to getting through my exams and spending the summer doing work experience and taking lots of time over the photos and text for my blog posts, as well as having some much needed relaxation time and hanging out with my friends.
