Outfit | Cosy Jumper and Flippy Skirt

What’s the best way to make yourself feel better when you wake to a world blanketed in grey clouds? Put on a cute little skirt of course and splash some colour into autumn! This skirt was a present from Callum when he went to New York a few months ago, as he knows I’m a huge fan of Hollister (I know, I know, but seriously – they have some gorgeous clothes at great prices!) and it’s too cute to just be a summer skirt. It’s the perfect antitdote to a grey, rainy day. I paired the look with my gorgeous new Modalu Pippa bag to add a touch of sophistication. Bags like this are the perfect every day staple – clean lines, practical shape, but still luxurious and special.

On a different note, I’ve teamed up with McArthurGlen outlets to promote their Art of Denim campaign. They’ve given me a super fun customisation challenge to feature on the blog, so that’ll be up later this week, but for now here’s what the campaign is all about. From 5th – 20th October, McArthurGlen’s six UK designer outlets will launch a creative schedule of denim activity. Such activity includes a DONNA IDA pop-up shop at the Cheshire Oaks Outlet, a share-zone which will screen live feeds of street-style shots uploaded by shoppers on Instagram using the #ArtOfDenim, an exclusive free denim tote bag which shoppers will be able to customise with their own designs, and a bespoke monogramming and embroidery service for your denim pieces.

To celebrate the launch of the campaign, I’ve got a £50 McArthurGlen voucher to giveaway to one of my Twitter followers. It’s super simple and easy to enter, so if you’re on Twitter, then do enter! You could spend it on some amazing brands at the outlet stores, including The Kooples, Reiss, Diesel, Guess, Levi’s and Jaeger. The perfect pre-Christmas treat! x

To win the voucher, just complete the following step:

– Tweet a picture of you in your favourite denim outfit/piece of clothing and mention the following in your tweet –
