The Walls Kept Tumbling Down in the City That We Love

The third time is the charm, they say! My third Lookbook post draws inspiration from my three week trip to Britain, where I was exposed to British culture and British fashion. My four days in the city of London were absolutely fantastic, a definite highlight in my short life. The street style of London was so refined compared to that of Edmonton, which was so refreshing yet alien.

During my time in London, I noticed a sea of lovely floral patterns, which I have always been hesitant to wear. After seeing some beautiful floral designs on the shirts at Paul Smith, and being unable to purchase any due to the massive sale that was going on (XS is such a popular size for us skinny folk), I immediately bought this beautiful floral shirt from Zara when I saw it in the new arrivals section. It was a little nostalgic seeing this shirt, as it was so similar to the Paul Smith designs, which reminded me of the sartorial refinement of London.

I paired my new floral shirt with a simple black blazer, also from Zara, and a pair of skinny black trousers. I felt the lovely floral design should have the opportunity to shine, rather than being muted by other bright colours. Accessory wise, I thought this beautiful black leather satchel/briefcase purchased from the Barbour store in London was a perfect match for the refinement of this outfit. Furthermore, I have been obsessed with black Chelsea boots lately, so I was ecstatic when I found a lovely pair from Ben Sherman in London, which I used to complete this outfit with.

I think my next couple of looks will also be British-influenced, as I am so in love with the Brits' sense of style. School starts next week, so I will definitely try to get another Lookbook post up before Wednesday! Thank you for your continued support, everyone!
