Todd Lynn for Topshop Cropped Tux Jacket / ASOS Drape Cardigan / Warehouse Chiffon Dress / RockLove ‘Geo Collar’ Necklace /
Rick Owens Wedges / Balenciaga City
A few weeks ago we were down in London with Kylie & Victoria, it was lovely getting to catch up with Kylie & finally getting to meet Victoria too. Having an excuse to hang out with such awesome girls is still my favourite part of blogging. I totally forgot that I never posted these shots, but better late than never! How pretty does the Southbank look at sunset?
This outfit was originally finished off with my fedora, until a rogue gust of wind blew it off into the Thames as I was walking along the bridge! We watched as it floated away down river, sticking to the side just out of reach, as if to taunt me. My favourite hat, gone! Totally gutted, I begged a security guy for a pole to fish it out, not that he was the slightest bit interested though, instead he just reeled off how it’s against regulations and health & saftey… To be honest, now that I think about it, I’m sure there are all sorts of nasty things floating in that dirty water & it was probably ruined anyway! Luckily one came back into stock on ASOS & I pounced, so no need to worry – we’ve been reunited!
I got this Warehouse dress a couple of weeks ago in the sale & I just can’t stop wearing it, the chiffon & jagged hem lend it so well to layering up like this. I’ve also probably worn this jacket & cardigan combination at least every other day the past few weeks too, it’s so warm, making one of my favourite jackets more winter appropriate & anything that means I can wear my favourites for longer is a huge plus for me. I love the way the chunky knit spills out from the bottom of it too, super easy, lazy layering.

Aaah, i am so sorry about the hat. DAMN YOU NEPTUNE! .. and the other god .. of the wind .. i dont remember his name. :D
The outfit is great, as usual. This necklace is simply amazing. x

Wow London looks so, so beautiful in sunset! I have been only once in London- for 3 days, but all evenings were either very cloudy or raining, so I didn’t had the chance to see that beauty! :)
Meeting up with fellow bloggers must be fun, sometimes I wish I would live in a bigger country than Latvia, because there are not many fashion bloggers here! :/

Yes, it’s rare we get a nice day like this to be able to really appreciate it! It’s very fun, it’s nice to meet other girls who have the same interests as you, everyone I’ve met has been so lovely! :)
Lisanne says
Lovely pictures, you made me miss London! The hat story is very sad though, I can’t believe the security guy didn’t even try to help! Great outfit too, I love the layers of black cascading down from the dress and the cardi. Beautiful!
FAIIINT says
Aww, sorry! Hehe! :) He was like ‘it’s only a hat’ & thought I was just a silly girl! Annoying! Thankyou, love that description, cascading is such a wonderful word!
Josie says
Oh no about your hat! I’ve lost things to the Thames before, I bet so many people’s belongings are floating about there. You’re right though, so many germs in there! I love the layers in your outfit, you look so cosy! xxx
FAIIINT says
I would like to see where all the stuff goes or ends up, I bet there’s loads of things! It was very cosy :)

How FUN!! I would love to meet you and Victoria in person, have tea (or wine) and actually have a real conversation. You are so lucky. I only have Crystal(cyeoms) and Vanessa(the haute pursuit) that I am friends with and can talk about anything including blogging. All my other friends don’t get bloggers and I live away from most bloggers I met online so that’s def something I like to do if I travel abroad to meet some of you the cool people I met virtuallyxx

FAIIINT says
Yes, it’s definitely the most fun part of blogging! I think that’s the nice thing about the UK, it’s pretty small, so everyone here is no more than a few hours on a train away. If you are ever in England, make sure you give me a shout, would be lovely to meet you in person! :)
Lauren says
Can’t believe your hat blew off into the river! That’s the kinda thing that happens to me lol
jamie-lee says
Loving the photos! Still can’t believe your hat floated away, although I’ve had experiences of running down the street after my own hat. Glad to see on twitter that you were able to score a new one :)
FAIIINT says
It was such a windy day, I have no idea why I decided to wear it! It blew off a few times & I had to chase it too… Hah. I’m just glad it wasn’t expensive!
J. says
Sad about the hat!
But you look great, I’m loving that jacket!
steph says
i remember that photo from ig – i’m glad you got a replacement one ;) it was a lovely hat indeed, and i imagine having a grand old adventure now perhaps.. the hem on that dress is so good, and i love the todd lynn styled like this too. you look stunning in that first pic!
FAIIINT says
Thankyou! :) Hah! Yeah, we were saying maybe some little creatures or ducks have made it into a nest, or there’s a sealion somewhere with a nice hat now! ;)
Laura says

I suggest you could do a tutorial on how you do your eyes??

I was going to tweet you, but it was such short notice & I was only there for a few hours :(
I keep getting asked for hair & makeup tutorials, I don’t feel like I’m enough of an expert to give advice on them, but I may do some in the new year :)
Leah Moss says
Looking fab girls. Am in need of a fedora – will be checking ASOS pronto! x
Sarah says
Your outfit looks incredible contrasted with the yellow railing! A beautiful sunset, too.

Hannah says
That really sucks about your hat but I’m so glad you managed to get a new one! The photo of you with Kylie and Victoria is such a lovely photo, you look gorgeous as always Steph. The lines of your outfit are gorgeous, the way your cardigan and dress both drape down. I love this look of layer upon layer, you wear it so well! xxx
Victoria says
LOL I look about 5 inches shorter than you girls! Like a Mexican midget! lol Was lovely meeting you Steph! I’m glad they pick the photos for the magazine I will let you know when the magazine is ready :)
Tara says
I was so sorry to hear about your hat! I think we should invest in some clear elastic so we can attach them to our heads. ;) I love this look, it’s full of drapey goodness! I really need to find a cardigan like this. <3
