2017 in Outfits

WOW. Hasn’t it been an incredible year indeed! 
As we fast approach the penultimate day, I pause and reflect on the last 52 weeks in outfits because there’s no better way to do it in one post! - Check the Look Of The Day tags for more....
Back to Black //
Another year, another staple.
Feeling lazy and need to run, it’s a go-to look and in my case that means all black. You can grab practically anything black in your wardrobe and its pretty much guaranteed to go. Not only that, all black numbers provide a classy and classic appeal suited to every occasion. 

Colour Injection //
As I vowed last year, I’ve injected a little fun into the street and rail wardrobe in the form of colour. This years I’ve definitely enjoyed experimenting with a little colour which happened to come into play as the temperatures rise. Mixing up brighter tones with my existing wardrobe.

Sheer Delight //
Playing with transparency is terribly fun. It can be layered for added effect or worn alone for it’s daring and sexy appeal, I went for the latter in nearly every look. This one works well for festivals, beaches or evening looks when you can get away with being a bit playful and flirtatious - It’s never too late!

Pastels //
Much like embroidery, powder pink and baby blue seem to be flavour of the month. And it’s only clothes that seem to be coated in these shades but everything else too…

In the Detail //
Ever year there’s always something. A big hype, a fashion favourite and seasonal trend that seems to dominate the year. Embroidery seems to have been the statement detail that everyone’s been after and Street & Rail’s no exception. Floral embroidery has a beautiful feminine charm and elegant finish. It gives every day garments that added detail and finished look. 

For me this year marks one of change as I embark on a whole new adventure, both in my personal and professional life come January. As exciting as it is, like most I am still nervous for what the change might bring. Nothing else to do but embrace it with open arms and see what 2018 holds for me!

Sending endless thanks for taking the time to join me this year! You are all eternally valued and always awesome. I can't wait for another year of looks and plenty of fun with you all. Remember to revisit soon ;) 

Love Always,

Party Season

After a long night of tequila-soaked amusement, it's all too easy to fall sideways into the arms of your duvet with a full face of make up, (who knows, too much fun and your probably fast asleep, yet fully clothed with the light on)! You're a rare bird indeed if you've reached nearly-30 and *haven't* done this before.

Turns out that makeup removal is key. One step in your nighty beauty regime you definitely don’t want to skip. It’s impacts can lead to break-outs, premature ageing and dull looking complexion. 
No matter how heavy my eyelids are feeling, I’m pretty hardcore when it comes to taking all my makeup off. I typically reach for a cleansing oil and toner at the minimum, but thats not to say its complicated! My evening regime gives me a few sweet moments of silence.... the perfect reason to take a timeout before bed.
I use Una Breanan’s Vitamin C Cleansing Oil from Superfacialist. Oil attracts oil, so a cleansing oil's help attract the makeup and impurities on your skin, lifting them off. As an emulsifying oil, this turns to a milk when you wash it off your face making this a nourishing product without an overly greasy feel (Don't worry, this product is safe even if you have oily skin like me). Not only is it great but it smells divine and makes application a real treat. Follow with a few drops of your favourite toner or micellar and swipe gently across the surface of your skin to remove any residue or missed make up. 
Once you’re done, apply a moisturiser to help lock in hydration and keep your skin happy. 
Trust me: Your complexion will thank you!

Festive Fever

Jumper - New Look // Jeans - Topshop // Jacket - Forever 21

Whilst your mind is probably currently wrapped up in last minute gift hunting, thermal clothing and executing the perfect plan to consume the maximum amount of food and drink humanly possible on Christmas day, this time of year always echoes a funny mix between a minor manic state and unashamed boredom. This year we’ve even been treated to a blanket of snow so I have brave freezing winds as I fight the crowds down every highstreet or department store, and the super power heaters that smother you as you make your way in, dashing in and out as fast as possible to make it painless.

Finding the balance is key: Knee ripped jeans provide a bit of ventilation and agility for such an event. Paired with a high neck knit and light jacket means no need to juggle scarfs and heavy costs. Such an outfit also allows you to disguise the many thermal layers, possibly an extra layer or two under the knit.
December has got a whole lot more exciting since I have a whole new family to count as my own.

Happy Shopping,
