Last weekend the change in "season" really hit hard, with a mix of weather conditions. Severe sandstorms, wind, humidity and strong sunshine all at the SAME TIME!

Check out our outfit of the day below to see what we wore to stay casual for the weekend yet appropriate for the weather changes.

For anyone who has the pleasure of living in London, knows exactly how beautiful and predictable the weather can be (excuse the sarcasm lol). So what on earth do you wear when its cloudy, miserable and raining cats and dogs outside?! I want to keep warm but still be fashionable. This last minute outfit I feel fits in quite perfectly with the weather, is keeping on trend and is a nice transition outfit from summer into autumn.

Right, let’s get down to the nitty gritty and some details of the outfit.

• Waistcoat: River Island (£50).

Now I have been looking for an excuse to wear this gorgeous piece, and I feel this waistcoat was a perfect finish to the outfit. I mean who doesn’t love a waistcoat? Again it stays on trend, but most importantly keeps you warm with its thick material, and still allows you to rock what you wearing underneath too. I mean who wants to carefully pick out a top, only to be covered by a coat?! I also love the way the beautiful nude tone of the waistcoat gives a very subtle yet luxurious finish too!

• Jumper & White T-shirt: H&M (£10 and £12).

I don’t know about you guys but I can be so hopeless at layering. But, I love how the addition of the white t-shirt makes the outfit and brown plain jumper pop out, making the overall look a lot more interesting, giving it that casual chic look.

• Jegging: New Look (£12.99)

Jeggings have to be another one of favs! So comfy yet so simply and stylish. Did I mention they are comfortable? These jeans fit my legs nicely and hug my curves (and belly) in the right way too!

• Accessories

My main and daily accessories consist of a Michael Kors watch and silver bracelet from Topshop (both worn together). I am also wearing Primark shoes and a choker with pearl bead finishing. Last but not least this outfit was completed by my tan tones Michael Kors bag. It complimented the outfit perfectly with the different shades of nudes and browns.

The end of summer is upon us, this means the relaxing, long holidays in London have come to an end. The sense of reality starts kicking in when you know you have to wake up at 6am to catch your flight back to Dubai on a 7 hour flight. Ugh. 

Don't get me wrong I love travelling but wearing tight skinny jeans would only lead up to a lot of fidgeting and being stuck in uncomfortable positions for the rest of the flight. I for one believe in travelling comfortably, but the struggle is how do you create a balance between being comfy and chic? 

I believe this outfit is the perfect mixture of both these styles. The black top allowed me to be more creative with what I would pair with it as it's a universal colour, as well as the long sleeve allows it to be culturally appropriate for Dubai.

I opted for the 'printed pant' to travel in as it's loose but still fitted. Considering Zara trousers are expensive, I luckily bought these on sale. The black and white aztec/geometric print, fit the colour palette well and the cotton material allowed me to sit comfortably on the plane.

These espadrilles took me FOREVER to find! They are in so much demand due to its popularity so when I saw them I had to buy them!! The quality is amazing, it's light on my feet and it has lasted me so long. 

I hope this gave you some inspiration for your next travel outfit :)
