There’s a month left until The Force Awakens! That means I get to celebrate once again with a fun outfit.

Honestly, I can barely contain my excitement. I have all the trailers on my phone and I watch them every night and try to find more clues about the movie. Although excited I am also a little nervous. Han Solo is my favourite character and I really hope that Rey isn’t mourning his death in that one scene. I might walk out the cinema! Okay, I won’t. I definitely won’t!

About the outfit, monochrome definitely works for me. I purchased these leggings from my friend Brett’s collection as soon as they arrived online and I absolutely love them! I wear this pair so much that I’m actually thinking of purchasing another one! If you are travelling this holiday, these are totally comfortable and will take you from airport to airport.

How cute is this R2D2 top?! I saw it at Forever 21 on opening day and I was willing to stand in that 2 hour queue just for it! Cute tee? Check! Leggings? Check! Add heels, a kaftan and some accessories and I am good to go!

I attempted to recreate the forest scene from the trailer. I am so sure that that Is going to be one epic light saber battle!

Until next time

{OOTD} | The Force is Strong in my Family

Today my outfit is celebrating the release of the new teaser for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. It’s one of those ones where I get to have a little more fun than usual. As I mentioned in my previous Star Wars themed post, I am a fan of the franchise and I’m really intrigued by the culture it has produced.

I love my basic denim and t-shirt look dressed up with some killer heels and charming accessories. I’m wearing my Salsa Colette jeans here and they have become my weekend uniform. I love the ripped detail because it’s edgy but has a denim panel behind it so my thighs don’t end up looking like hams (ew.). These boots are a recent purchase and a gift from my Dad. Needless to say, I am obsessed.

Let’s talk about the trailer for a second. Who is Luke talking to?! Is Vader alive? Maybe he’s a clone?! An imposter? Or ghost??!! Who is running the Empire now? What about Chewie and Han… Best scene ever but context please!!! All these questions will be answered when the movie releases at Christmas but patience is really not my strong point!

Honestly I think if the force were a thing, it would be very strong in my family ;)

Until next time

{OOTD} | There Has Been an Awakening

T-shirt – Shuaib’s(MrP I think)| Jeans – Lucky Brand | Shoes – ZARA | Necklace – Lovisa | Spiral Ring and Bracelet – Swarovski | Sunglasses - MrP

In wouldn’t call myself a full on Star Wars nerd but I do really enjoy the franchise and the culture that it has produced. I of course would love to own a light saber (black? Could I get a black one?) and my favourite character is Han Solo (obvs!). My dilemma however, is that I don’t actually know which side I’d be on. Rebellion sounds so me but the Dark Side really intrigues me.

The recently released teaser trailer has got me pretty excited for Episode VII (that light saber though!) and so I thought I would have some fun with this outfit and the photos. It was a pretty last minute idea since I was wearing the t-shirt and we found this awesome empty plot to shoot in while driving around. This is why my jeans are so annoyingly creased! I must mention that these Lucky Brand (Charlie Super Skinnys) jeans are the most comfortable pair of skinnys I own. The fabric is extremely soft and breathable so it’s a perfect pair for those hot days and balmy nights in summer.  I had these recently purchased heels in the car which really brought the outfit together. What really got me though was that I am wearing M.A.C Rebel lipstick! Maybe I do belong in the Rebellion after all! ;)

Oh yes! I also got my hair cut today! Its quite a plunge because its way shorter and pretty asymmetrical. Perfect for the summer although I hope I can manage to maintain it as time passes.

Are you a fan of Star Wars? How do you feel about the new teaser?

Until next time
