BLUE MOSQUE

In this post we visited The Sultan Ahmed Mosque also known as the Blue Mosque. It's nickname 'The Blue Mosque' comes from the blue tiles adorning the walls in the interior. Before entering the mosque, we had to put on a headscarf and take off our shoes. Once we had made our way into the mosque, the view was absolutely breath taking. The tiling design in the interior was beautiful and it was something you wouldn't come across often.

Dungarees have been the height of fashion this summer, which have been seen on many celebrities on both sides of the pond. They have been seen in array of colours, lengths and styles. Dungarees are great because they are comfy and can be warn both casually and smartly. As purple is my favourite colour, as soon as I saw these purple dungarees on ASOS (which were also in the sale too for £16) I just had to have them. I decided to wear a plain white t-shirt underneath my dungarees as in Istanbul it is respectable to have shoulders covered. When wearing this outfit at home, I often opt for a vest top rather than t-shirt underneath. To match my white top, I wore my white Vans trainers. Lastly, to complete the outfit, decided to take my red handbag to keep the outfit colourful as well as colour blocking.

ASIA

Here we have briefly adventured out of Europe and entered Asia. These photos were taken in the garden of the Beylerbeyi Palace. Walking around the palace, there was room after room of beautiful designs fit for a king. Each room was huge filled with expensive furniture and paintings. The gardens were covered in flowers and plants as well as a fountain in the middle. We both said how we couldn't imagine living somewhere like this. 

These light-weight baggy trousers are ideal for the summer month or if you want to cover up while on holiday. These feature an elasticated hem around the ankles which are great for people like me who aren't the tallest people in the world. This prevents the trousers dragging a long the floor as this would damage the garment and wouldn't become a good look. I usual wear these trousers with either flip-flops or sandals, but as this day involved plenty of walking I decided to wear my comfy Vans. I then added a necklace full of spikes to give this outfit an extra bit of edge.

BALANCING ACT

Spring has officially arrived, but here in England there is still a chill in the air. This means it isn't often that we can leave the house without a coat or jacket. Most retail shops are currently displaying their Spring/Summer clothes on their rails, however it isn't near warm enough to wear them. This doesn't mean we can't mix the latest clothes with our winter wear. 

As this jacket is fake leather, it means it can be used as a waterproof coat. England is notorious for the rain and therefore this jacket will become very handy. As the rest of the outfit has dark or basic colours, I chose to add a pop of bright colour with my jumper. I made sure a small section of my jumper was pulled out past the sleeves of the jacket to allow more colour to be shown. Bright colours were seen regularly on the catwalks of every fashion week around the world. Although it isn't quite warm enough for bright coloured summer clothes, we can still integrate it into our outfits to stay up to date with fashion. To match the jacket I wore dark jeans and white shoes as the jumper added enough bright colour to the outfit.

LONDON FASHION WEEK

London Fashion Week is one of our favourite events that we always look forward to. A week dedicated to fashion, models and catwalks is our idea of heaven. As well as this, an additional weekend is added onto the end of LFW for even more fashion. This week witnessed the bold, the bright and Kellogg's cereal brands (We're not kidding, check out Anya Hindmarch AW14 collection). Being a big fan of sequins, one of our personal favourites was a collection designed by Zeyne Kartal. We also fell in love with Ashley Williams collection while watching the models strut down the catwalk. 

All in all we both wished that we could afford all the clothes we saw on the catwalks. We can also safely say that designers defiantly thought outside the box when it came to inspiration this season. Above are a few snaps that we took during both London Fashion Week and London Fashion Weekend. Now all we have to do is wait until September to do it all over again.

WINTER WANTS

We can safely say that the cold winter weather has arrived here in England. With the news constantly predicting snow any day now, it's time that we stocked up on our winter accessories. We need to look after our health after all, so why not do that while looking fabulous! Here I have created a wishlist especially for this season, including the latest must-have scarfs, gloves and hats. Accessories are great to dress up any outfit whilst keeping us extra warm. You can try all of these items on in the shop at the drop of a hat (see what I did there) without having to queue for the fitting rooms. The great things about accessories is that we can easily mix and match them to make an outfit look completely different every time. If you would like to know where each garment is from and their prices, click the links below.
