I Should Wear... ?

Tomorrow’s Inspiration: Double Denim

Lauren Cooke — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:11:56 +0000

A bit of a cheat for tomorrow’s inspiration guys – this is essentially what I am wearing today! However, as a convert to the double denim idea I wanted to see if I could drag anyone else along with me. My general rules are that as long as you wear different denims and combine it with funky accessories you can look pretty damn cool!

Tomorrow’s Inspiration: Dressed By The Sun

Lauren Cooke — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:30:26 +0000

We have all been dressing for the sun recently (I don’t think I have ever seen so many unattractive skinny chests in one place before!), but why don’t we use the bright clear light and golden sunshine inspire our fashion in a different way? Tomorrow’s inspiration is all about being inspired by gold, bronze and yellow tones, so that you feel like you’re as hot as a burning ball of gas in the sky (sorry, I couldn’t resist the opportunity for a terrible pun!).

Tomorrow’s Inspiration: Layer Soft Light Fabrics

Lauren Cooke — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 12:38:35 +0000

Tomorrow’s Inspiration is mainly due to the unpredictable nature of the weather at weekends. Plus, there is something about the structural and architectural layering of beautiful light floaty fabrics that isn’t just practical and adaptable, but which is remarkably sexy too. The way those fabrics cling to and smooth your curves is just beautiful!

BTW – this post was totally inspired by the lovely edgy style of Erin from Work With What You’ve Got

Tomorrow’s Inspiration: Glamorous Gingham

There’s nowt wrong with a bit of gingham. In fact, it is a fabric that is all over the shops at the moment. However, I think that most of the gingham creations seen to be a little casual, but I am on a mission to prove that it can look glamorous. Simply team it with smart formal accessories, and throw a slick of bright makeup into the mix. Gorgeous!

Tomorrow’s Inspiration: Cute Clothes With Flowers and Bows

Lauren Cooke — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:36:38 +0000

Have you seen those adorable floral dungarees in Miss Selfridge? They are wonderful! They just look so cute and pretty and happy, and remind me of happy days gone buy. Tomorrow’s inspiration is all about embracing that overly saccharine sweetness, and wearing clothes that make you feel frankly adorable. I’m talking flowers, bows and cupcakes – you really need to feel as cute as you can.

Tomorrow’s Inspiration: Rainbow Colours

Lauren Cooke — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 11:23:24 +0000

It was that gorgeous pair of Irregular Choice wedges in the middle there that inspired me with today’s post. They are just so happy and so cheery. Rainbow colours are beautiful, and sunny, and remind me of hot summers days with unexpected rainstorms. They are also good luck, and I think everyone could use some of that. Just a little dose of rainbow can brighten your day!

Tomorrow’s Inspiration: Long Shorts & a Halterneck Top

Lauren Cooke — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:45:02 +0000

I think we should try and encourage the fickle sun to come back. The best way to do that, in my mind is to wear shorts. I think that long shorts offer a perfect meeting of formal and fun, and they can be dressed up beautifully to create a really exciting outfit. Here I have teamed the denim with a tribal themed halterneck, and continue that colourful approach throughout.

Tomorrow’s Inspiration: Military Jacket with a Mini Dress

Lauren Cooke — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 10:41:23 +0000

I’ve gone for a military inspired theme today, pairing a military jacket (think gold buttons and neat tailoring) with a cute mini dress. This creates a look that is structured yet really quite feminine at the same time. The military could probably work with a longer dress or even a maxi dress if you needed to make it more work appropriate!

Tomorrow’s Inspiration: Keep Calm with Neutrals

Lauren Cooke — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:40:50 +0000

Why hello! It has been a while hasn’t it?! However, I am now snuggly in Helen’s flat, my life is slightly more stable, and I can start blogging on a more regular basis again. However, I would be willing to guess that I am still a little stressed inside, because all the clothes I seem to be wanting to wear are soft and gentle and calming. Pale greys, greens and creams seem to be creeping into my ideal palette, perhaps because they are so easy to look at and so relaxing. Consequently this is tomorrow’s inspiration – to be gentle with the world and just as gentle with your clothes.

Tomorrow’s Inspiration: Be Casual and Comfy but Stylish

Lauren Cooke — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 14:06:59 +0000

The name of the game today? Being comfortable, but somehow still managing to be effortlessly cool. I am talking slouchy jersey, soft tights, cosy cardigans and even, if the weather permits, a cardigan. Life may be being a bit hard (and that means looking good can be hard too), but it is possible. Honest!
