Boticca guest post: Accessories make the outfit!

Hello darlings! I’ve been having such a blast this summer working on new projects and getting the ball rolling with the move back to LA. While I’ve been on hiatus with my blog, I thought it might be fun to have someone guest blog on here to keep the content flowing! My friends over at Boticca have written up a great post that has definitely inspired me to step up my game, so get inspired and get shopping!

“There’s nothing I love more than people watching which makes my daily tube ride to work my veritable hobby. However looking around the packed carriage this morning something worrying suddenly struck me; nearly everyone looked the same. The men in their suits and the girls in their semi boho meets girl gone bad looks was all a bit too Truman show for me. While I may be a fan of fashion I’m certainly not a slave to it but everyone needs a bit of a style shake up now and again and with this in mind I set about making my mark on the tube platform runway.

How did I do this you ask? Why with the always-amazing accessories. Seeing as going out and buying an entirely new wardrobe would be slightly excessive I decided to make the best of what I already had with the help of a trusty plus one. The necklace proved to be my most valuable weapon as I soon discovered that nothing seals a look quite like a bold statement necklace and nothing adds that extra little edge like layering with a few thin gold chains.

Next on my bid to break out of the style pod was some scarf magic. Not only a practical tool in the somewhat unpredictable Europe summer but a good designer scarf adds a certain je ne sais quoi to any ensemble and my beautiful pink ‘Blaire’ scarf from Lucy Jay has been worth its weight in fashion gold on this latest fashion adventure.

My final top tip is to take it on the head and embrace the wonders that are hair accessories.  Simple hair ties and scrunchies be gone in favor of hair slides and head bands and nothing says unique as quickly as a vintage inspired hat like the fantastic Estella hat by SuperDuper Hats or a feather adorned beauty.

So there you have it, with the help of just a few accessories you can break out of that style rut, so go forth and dare to be different.”
