Nothing beats the combination of black and white. Honestly, tell me a better combo! Can you ever lose when wearing this colour and this shade together. I always feel dressed up when I combine the two and this shoot was no exception. Continuing with the trend of wearing what was already in my closet, I realised I hadn’t shot this blazer that I hadn’t actually worn it out before so it made sense to create a look with it.
I’m having too much fun with these titles, but more so; I am really enjoying experimenting with different looks. Much like the yellow look before. I opted for pieces in my wardrobes that were not a co-ord and were instead separate pieces; all purchased from different places. I love colour blocking and I particularly enjoy doing this with bright colours as opposed ro light shades and pastels.
I did mention a few blog posts back that I have really stepped up my style lately. In my opinion; I’ve always known how to dress but when I stepped into my 30’s I started to REALLY work on my personal style. I think this has come out a lot more this year from the shoots I did with Katie Ryan Creations and some of the earlier shoots I did with my mum. What I realised however is that I hadn’t shot many formal outfits. One’s where I show how I dress up smart!
To be honest with you, it feels surreal typing this as I have worn Adidas clothing my entire life, though strangely; since lockdown last year I have found myself purchasing more of their clothing. I have always appreciated the quality of their sportswear and find the price point very affordable; especially for a leading sports brand.
Yes my loves, although I stated a number of months ago that Primark had lost my custom due to the fact that I had purchased coat there for £30 which began bobbling after one wear, one! I was pretty angry by it and even more so as I couldn’t locate the receipt to bring it back. One thing I hate doing is not getting my money’s worth and to be honest I am not sure I would ever buy a coat from them again. Nonetheless, I decided to pop in recently to pic up a faux suede skirt I had seen in the window and when I tried it on, I was pleasantly surprised by not only its fit by the overall texture of the material which is super soft. I also loved the pocket features on the front as many of the skirts I own do not have any and who doesn’t love pockets?
I spent the weekend reviewing my closet, organising my jewellery collection, shoes and clothing so I could start preparing for my Fall fashion looks. I can’t lie guys, it’s been really challenging of late to find the time to vlog (hence why nothing has gone live in absolutely ages) and to also put together looks. Working in a challenging day job, whilst trying to make my passion projects become my everyday projects is no mean feat. It was because of this though that in between sorting through these things, I also went through my images that haven’t been added to the blog yet.
It’s become quite apparent that I don’t see myself as a fashion blogger now because to be quite honest with you guys, I don’t have to the money to invest in buying clothing to promote other people’s brands for free! LOL. Guys, honestly, on top of that fact I also don’t have the time to shoot fashion content regularly so moving into the realms of being a lifestyle blogger and penning content around all the areas of a modern woman’s lifestyle suits me perfectly.
I know my lovelies are rather impressed with how regularly I turn up on sashashantel.com right now. It’s been a very long time coming but I am really enjoying hanging out here and I have endless new content coming.
I am also very inspired by women in business and found the backstory behind the brand truly inspiring. The founder of Megan Ismay left her full-time job this year to follow her dreams of launching an ethical clothing brand.
Hey guys, I mentioned in my last post that my style has transformed a great deal over the last year and where I wouldn’t normally reach for a blazer, it’s now the first thing I grab when going through my closet. Those of you who frequent my Instagram often know that I showcase my personal style on there and I have received a lot of love for this look so thought I would help you get the look.
