Dancing

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Fri, 25 May 2012 16:37:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Motel Rocks Bodycon Dress (Worn as Top), ASOS Lampshade

Skirt, Grey Ant Sunglasses & Missguided Fuschia Heels

The great thing about bodycon dresses is that they can easily be worn as tops underneath skirts- I adore the print on this Motel Rocks dress (and heads up, I will be giving one of these beauties away soon on Frassy). And because its Friday and summer is finally here, I decided to dance my way through the streets for today's blog post- I urge you all to do the same, its super fun! Hope you are all doing something fun tonight- I'm going to have a picnic by the Seine with some friends, super excited to relax, I have been waiting for this warm weather for what seems forever!

Paisley

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Thu, 24 May 2012 18:01:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Blazer, H&M Tank, Lavish Alice

Paisley Shorts, ASOS Sandals + Sunglasses & Mango Bag

This is what my hair naturally looks like- it used to be totally straight but after dying it for years, it developed waves (or on a humid day, full blown curls). And as the weather is scorching today, it would have been totally useless trying to style it- so I let it loose and I left it crazy. And on another note, these sandals are by far the comfiest heels I own- I bought them on sale from ASOS in both black & tobacco brown. Anyway, time to clean up the clothes bomb that hit my apartment today. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Peplums

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Wed, 23 May 2012 18:31:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Floral Peplum Dress, Missguided

Cream Heels, Ebay Clutch & Zara Sunglasses

Bought this vintage dress earlier this week but today, I totally altered it (turned the midi into a mini skirt and cut off the puffy sleeves) There is something adorable about peplums, even the word itself sounds so cute to me, always makes me laugh to myself. The weather is beautiful in Paris today, and so I am off for an evening run along the river. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Barely There

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Tue, 22 May 2012 19:35:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Mesh Tee, Simply Beach Bra, H&M Leather

Trousers, Spartoo Sandals, ASOS Sunglasses + Hat

Wow, not going to lie, it took just about all the confidence I have to leave the house wearing this- and yes, I almost ran back to my apartment in shame after the first few disapproving old lady stares. But then I remembered that one day, along the way, I will probably feel too old to wear something like this- and so I thought, best to cross it off my sartorial bucket list now rather than later. I can hope this rather risqué outfit encourages you all to wear what you love, regardless - always regardless of what others might think. And don't worry, Frassy will go back to full colour tomorrow- I've just really been enjoying B&W photography these days. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

For The First Time

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Mon, 21 May 2012 14:55:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Free People Leather Jacket, ASOS Peeptoe

Platforms + Sunglasses & Custom-Made Crinoline

"When was the last time you did something for the first time?" - its a pretty huge question, but one that we should ask ourselves more often. Sometimes the largest questions in life can feel a little intimidating, a whole montage of possible answers rushes into your head, and constructing a worthy response can feel almost impossible. But, as I have gotten older, I have learnt to appreciate the act of simplifying - because when it comes down to it, life is simple. Inhale/exhale is what keeps us alive - and so sometimes those large questions, the ones that make us feel comfortable, can be broken down into a series of basic responses. And so, in answer to Eastpak's new campaign - centred around doing something new for the first time- I took a fun, down-to-earth approach. Ever since I moved to Paris (and ever since I watched Carrie Bradshaw run through Paris in one of her signature voluminous skirts) I wanted to recreate this moment for myself. And so, I took some time out of my day, to do just that, by twirling down my favourite bridge in a beautiful handmade Crinoline with a beautiful beau on my arm, Jared. And so, "my something for the first time" might seem totally ridiculous to some, it made me happy to finally capture the photographs I have always wanted. And so I'll end this by urging you all to check out Eastpak's new campaign (click here) - I hope it inspires you to do something (be it big or small) for the first time. Because even though daily life can be monotonous at times, we should always strive to constantly add adventure along the way.

Choo 24:7 Day 6&7

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Sun, 20 May 2012 13:28:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: (Outfit 1)Zara Zebra Dress, Urban Outfitters Neon Fringe Scarf, House of Harlow Sunglasses, Jimmy Choo Clutch & Zebra Heels (Outfit 2) Giorgio Armani Velvet Blazer, Zara Sequin Tank + Leather Trousers, Alexander McQueen Scarf + Jimmy Choo Sunglasses & Silver Heels

Thought I would do a double whammy weekend post by combining my final two Jimmy Choo looks. I fall in and out of love with scarves - to me they usually signify cold weather, you know those winter days when you leave the house without one and your head and neck are so cold you want to cry? But spring scarves...oh they are completely different- a rather frivilous accessory except for the fact they can pack a pretty serious fashion punch - in that they can make or break an outfit. Here I am wearing two of my absolute favourites - a black & white neon fringed beauty I bought recently on sale at Urban Outfitters and my beloved Alexander McQueen - a scarf I splurged on at University (and subsequently starved for a couple weeks). Anyway, I will end the weekend by urging you all to go check out the Choo 24:7 site - if you are lucky enough to own a pair, you can submit your own Jimmy Choo streetstyle photographs to the site! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Choo 24:7 Day 5

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:15:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Zara Neon Floral Dress, ASOS Sunglasses, H&M

Neon Necklace + Jimmy Choo Neon Orange Heels & Clutch

Oh Neon, how I love you! Especially on my feet- such vibrant colours- its the perfect way to welcome the weekend in. And I've seen a lot of neon this season, but none as blaringly (and beautifully) bright as this Jimmy Choo Sandal + Clutch Duo. Totally in mad mad love! Hope you all have fun tonight- I'm heading to a party. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Choo 24:7 Day 4

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Thu, 17 May 2012 19:47:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: LNA Tank Top, Zara Leather Leggings, ASOS Hat, Grey Ant Sunglasses, Louis Vuitton Leopard Scarf + Jimmy Choo Heels & Bag

It is really amazing what a simple scarf can add to an outfit- I love the simplicity of wearing one basic colour and then adding a series of similar prints. This time of year always reminds me of floppy hats - even if its not always summery outside, a big hat always makes it feel warmer than it is. These Jimmy Choos are probably my favourite pair from the ones I styled- there is nothing quite like a leopard print platform sandal! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

CHOO 24:7 Day 3

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:43:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Dress, ASOS Sunglasses, Annabelle's Blonde Wig ,

Jimmy Choo Glitter Sandals & Gold Handbag

Jimmy Choo Glitter sandals & handbag to match? I couldn't resist pairing them with my absolute favourite vintage velvet dress that I've had for years now. And a special mention goes out to another current obsession of mine, Annabelle's Wigs -I cannot get enough of them, including the beautiful blonde style I am wearing here. As I'm sure I've told you all before, a couple years ago, I promised myself I'd never dye my hair again - this has been a hard vow to stick to (I am incredibly fickle)- so thank god for wigs of every length, shape and style to keep my hair desires satisfied! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Choo 24:7 Day 2

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:23:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: ASOS Neon Yellow Tunic, Zara Leather Trousers, Vintage Hat, Jimmy Choo Python Boots, Clutch & Sunglasses

Here is my second Jimmy Choo outfit - I couldn't resist styling an outfit around these Python boots and matching clutch. There sure was a lot of wind in the square where we took these photos- hair and neon yellow flying everywhere! I've never owned a pair of snakeskin shoes- but this pair are so beautifully made- I had to give them a spin! On another note, Frassy has joined ASOS Marketplace, where all you lovely people can purchase some of the clothes you have seen on me- to check my boutique out click here. More tomorrow!

Choo 24:7 Day 1

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:25:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Goldie London Leather Jacket, Zara Black Tee, AX Paris Knicker Shorts, ASOS Sunglasses & Jimmy Choo Thigh High Boots

So finally, I get to share my Jimmy Choo collaboration with you all. I worked with them on their Stylemakers campaign - a microsite celebrating their 24:7 collection, which showcases women from all over the world wearing Jimmy Choo shoes/handbags in everyday life. I was asked to style 7 looks based around the Choos of my choice, so for the next week, I will be sharing each ensemble on Frassy. Here I'm wearing the thigh-high leather boots -such beautifully soft leather, literally felt like slipping my feet into silk socks! This was such an incredibly fun project to be involved with and I'm excited to share all my looks with you guys- be sure to check out the site (click here) and if you'd like to see a sneak-peek of all 7 looks, check out the Frassy album on the Jimmy Choo Facebook page (right here).

What I'm Wearing: Wildfox Knitted Tank from Rebelle, Vintage Lace Skirt, ASOS Sunglasses, Missguided Cream Platform Heels & Romwe Lace Diamond Collar.

Quick post of what I am wearing today. The sun is shining here in Paris and I'm determined to make the most of my Sunday by hanging out all day with my friends. The collar I'm wearing here is a total bargain, be sure to check it out at Romwe. And ofcourse, this beautiful knitted Wilfox tank, compliments of my good friend Haleigh's boutique, Rebelle.

Celebration

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Fri, 11 May 2012 18:24:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Rebelle Stylestalker Dress, ASOS Sunglasses + Peeptoe Platform Heels.

Celebrating my good friend (and Frassy photographer) Anastasia's birthday tonight- I probably don't mention how invaluable this girl is to me and my blog. She is an incredibly talented lady and I am so honoured to be able to work with her everyday of the week. Sometimes I feel she doesn't get enough credit for all the work she puts into Frassy- during those cold winter months when we are both shivering out on the icy streets of Paris or during my panicked fashion crises (because lets face it girls, we all have them!) or even down to the Starbucks she brings me every morning. So here's to you Anastasia! And what better way to celebrate than in this incredible Stylestalker Maxi Dress from Rebelle? Happy Friday! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Rebelle Twirl

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Thu, 10 May 2012 19:16:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Rebelle Stylestalker Skater Dress,
ASOS Sunglasses & Missguided Fuschia Heels.

Insanely hot in Paris today and what better way to celebrate our hint of summer than by twirling around in my new favourite Rebelle dress? I especially love the netting underneath the skirt - it gives the garment an irresistible volume! You can shop the dress here - and while you browse the shop, be sure to download their awesome playlists for free (click here). I am drowning in work, but before I leave, here's my latest Flingly article, you can read it right here! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Low- Key

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Wed, 09 May 2012 19:36:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Olive Boutique Floral Blouse, Vintage White Pleated Maxi,
ASOS Sunglasses & Lilac Heels, Zatchel Bag + Vintage Rose Cuff

It has been ridiculously humid in Paris lately, and so with that in mind, I wore as many sheer garments as physically possible. Plus when the air is groggy, nothing beats a top knot and a maxi skirt - seriously they keep you so much cooler. I've been busy working all day and will be busy working all night. More tomorrow!

Scarf Legs

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Tue, 08 May 2012 19:12:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Goodnight Macaroon Scarf Trousers, Goldie Leather Jacket,

H&M Basic Black Tank, ASOS Heels + Sunglasses & Vintage Clutch

Totally obsessed with these trousers from one of my latest online shopping favourites, Goodnight Macaroon (click here to check them out) Spent most of the day on a photoshoot, finding it a little difficult to manage my workload right now- it is getting a little stressful. Saying that, I'm taking a quick hour break to go out for Italian food, I am starving! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Wearing some of my favourite Jimmy Choo pieces that I received for a (secret) collaboration, which I cannot wait to share with you (and it should be soon, too!) Plus, I absolutely adore this hair (compliments of Annabelle's Wigs) - I wish my own locks were as wavy and bouncy as this- I couldn't stop swishing my hair, such fun! And finally, I'll leave with you some music - some day soon, I am planning on creating some playlists to share with you, but until then, check out one of my friend's super fun mixes right here. More tomorrow!

Pinks

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Pale Pink Blazer, Zara Silk Shirt, Brand Bazaar Skirt,

Missguided Heels, Zara Sunglasses & Furla Candy Bag

Went to the Flea Market today, scored an array of candy-coloured blazers plus some verging-on tacky printed blouses. Trying to relax for the rest of the evening, as I have so much work this week. Hope you are enjoying Sunday, I'm headed straight to the sofa (and yes, I am already in my pyjamas!) More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Rain

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Sat, 05 May 2012 12:54:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Goldie London Dress, Zara Cardigan, Vintage Brogues &

Satchel, ASOS Sunglasses, Vintage Hat + Vintage Konica Camera

Sometimes, Paris is incredibly beautiful in the rain - and so I grabbed my vintage Konica, threw on a simple dress and went out to explore. It really is important to cherish the place you live, often I feel like I take this beautiful city for granted. This summer, when work slows down a little, I hope to go and see parts of Paris I have been meaning to go discover for some time now. And regardless of whether you live in the city, a small town or even in the countryside, there is always something new to see. So next time you are out and about, try to take a detour- because after all, variety truly is the spice of life! Happy Saturday! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Mustard

What I'm Wearing: Annabelle's Black Bob Wig, ASOS Mustard Blazer + Leather

Tank, H&M Shorts, Spartoo Sandals + Jimmy Choo Clutch

Annabelle's Wigs are the best wigs I have ever worn, the hair isn't real but they feel so silky - plus they are super affordable, be sure to check out their HUGE collection of hair here. I am currently collaborating with them on some designs (being able to design a wig - uh that is like a dream come true for me!) What wonderful weather Paris has had this week- spent most of the day on a photoshoot - and now, I am really just looking forward to crawling into bed! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Comme Des Garcons

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:21:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Comme Des Garcons Polo, American Apparel Maxi Skirt, Zara Beanie, Olive Boutique Sunglasses, Comme Des Garcons Converse, & Grafea Backpack

I've been on a Comme Des Garcons flux as of late - just cannot get enough of that red heart face! I didn't like how their polo shirt fit me, and because it took so long to get a hold of, I didn't have the energy to return it - so I just chopped it into a crop top, and I like it much more now! And I am totally crushing over this beautiful white leather backpack from Grafea- there is something so deliciously luxe about white leather, don't you think? Anyway, more tomorrow!

Neons

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:13:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Zara White Blazer, Zara Neon Tank, H&M Leather Shorts,
ASOS Heels, H&M Necklace,ASOS Sandals + House of Harlow Sunglasses

Really into blazer and short combinations these days, especially when the weather is as beautiful as it was today. Decided to wear something simple, so I could fully enjoy the weather. Happy May Day! I'd better dash, headed out for Mexican food and oh wow, I am so hungry! More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Sun Worship

What I'm Wearing: H&M Hat, ASOS Blazer, Lavish Alice Dress,

ASOS Heels,Vintage YSL Sunglasses & Lilac Zatchel Bag

So Springtime came back to Paris today- and so I put on some of my sunshine finest and wandered around my neighbourhood. We haven't had much sun these last few weeks, but with May around the corner, I can only hope it is here to stay. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

Week Slices (& Giveaway)

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 19:22:00 +0000

These are pieces of my week, not going to lie though, I've spent a rather ridiculous amount of time staring at all the beautiful Jimmy Choo shoes in apartment. As well as spring-cleaning my apartment & hanging out with friends (hey, go check out my friend Jared's blog here) and to top it off, I've collaborated with the awesome online boutique, Mad Lady. We are giving away this USA bikini. All you gotta do is like Mad Lady on Facebook (here) and then leave a comment, tell me what you'd wear the bikini with or why you love it! Happy Sunday! More tomorrow!

Lemon

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey Leighton) — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:23:00 +0000

What I'm Wearing: Olive Boutique Yellow Stripe Sweater, ASOS Acid Wash Jeans + Clutch, Zara White Tank, Converse Shoes & H+M Sunglasses

Keeping it casual-and sorta fruity too, this outfit reminds me of lemon meringue pie. I've had these jeans for years and years now, nothing like old denim- seriously the most comfortable pair I own! Cannot believe the weekend is already here, gotta say, I've had an incredible week- being self-employed can often bring on insecurities but this week, I've feel like I'm on a roll. I've never been happier in life - I remember the self-inflicted turmoil I'd go through at university, and it all seems so long ago now. As I get older (and hopefully a little wiser) I am increasingly content, which is so important - so make sure you all take an hour or two this weekend to really just appreciate the people, places and passions that fill your life. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen
