Hold up your hand if you love pins! Funnily enough, I wasn't a huge fan of pins until this year. Recently, I did a massive 180 and fell in love with the beauties after discovering the Biography Pin range at Astley Clarke. At first glance, a teeny-tiny Four Leaf Clover stole my heart, although after seeing the brand's images of entire pockets covered with pins, I doubt my obsession will end here. Anyway, to avoid being the only tiny-gold-pin-fanatic I know, I've listed a few other gorgeous Astley Clarke designs below for you to check out!

This tote has actually solved a dilemma for me, as I planned to get through a (huge) backlog of magazines while travelling to France next week, and had no idea how I was going to transport them - problem solved! Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this outfit - do you prefer the look by day, or the subtle changes that take it to night?
With love,
Gabrielle x
I really adore pins, my nan gave me my first one and I'd wear them on hats. Raw cut leather is a personal favourite and it can be so beautiful when done right as you've shown here. I cannot get enough of the tote, though. Both lavish and practical as well! Wish you a lovely weekend and safe travelling, Gabrielle. xx/Madison
ReplyDeleteThat faux leather peplum is stunning dear! I love peplums too and I like how you styled it in this perfect black and white outfit! *-*

I love the combination of the two peplums with athleisure pants and boots. I am so inspired by the way you mixed pieces that I wouldn't automatically think of putting together. And good move on keeping that peplum blouse!

Love the shirt detail on the neck and the tote Kurt Geiger bag!
ReplyDeleteThe size is pretty big so it might be so useful ♥
So stylish and multifunction x

I lover wearing peplum tops, especially with pencil skirts! You created such a cool outfit, I looove the peplum layers, it looks really cool! :D
ReplyDeletehttp://thewonderfashion.blogspot.com
Such a gorgeous styling! That peplum top is certainly eye-catching, I really like how you styled it over the white shirt, it makes it stand out even more. By keeping this outfit black and white, you made it more elegant and very timeless. This combo looks great both with sneakers and the boots. Interesting how easy it can be to transfer a day look into a more dressed up (or evening) one. You look stunning dear!
ReplyDeleteLately I've been opting for tote bags as well. They're such a great solution when we have stuff to carry! This tote bag is certainly very elegant. I think that a bag like this one can be styled in a number of ways...as you have showed here.
Ooh I can't possibly pick between day or night here, you are most definitely rocking both Gabrielle! I definitely need to take inspiration from you as I would never have thought to combine a peplum with a crisp white shirt - I definitely need to get more creative!
ReplyDeleteMusings & More
Ooh I love both looks here and I have to agree that the tote is amazing! You have such a great way of putting outfits together and teaming things that I wouldn't have thought about styling together. The results are always so amazing and unique :) x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous look!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week-end!

I'm loving the tote bag! I'm a huge fan of Kurt Geiger. Too bad they don't sell locally here, but I managed to order some of their shoes online :)
ReplyDeleteHey Charles, just to let you know my comments won't submit properly on your blog right now and are instead coming up as just 'Gab'... for some reason, haha. So I'll say here - congrats on passing your driving test!

I love the combination of the layered peplum, You really did a fantastic job at styling. I never would have thought to peplum. I also adore the detail of the pin, it adds such a nice subtle detail.
ReplyDeleteHope your having a fab Sunday Gabrielle.

I've always loved double peplums! Your outfit is too cute Gabrielle. Fabulous styling.

Your outfit is so cool! You look great and very stylish! :) xx
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic Gabrielle! I'm a little late to the peplum game, but I so get it now! I've never thought of combining two though, but you've done it here to flawlessly. Both versions of the look are perfect, though I think I prefer the "day" look, just because it lets the peplum shine a bit more.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely post!

I adore peplum. I can't get enough of this style as it's really flattering. I never thought of wearing 2 peplums though. You nailed the look.

Gabrielle you always look so chic and glamorous! Can I just borrow your wardrobe indefinitely please :) !? I remember when Peplums were all the rage a few years ago - I think I bough about 10 Peplum tops...I absolutely adore them as they are so flattering whatever shape and size you are. I can't wait to get them out for Spring/Summer xx
ReplyDeleteGabrielle I'm dying over this layered look! I've been wanting to wear something like this and bought a top from Zara two years ago online but it was too tight on me! Love the white shirt under the black peplum - you're such a fashion inspo!! <3

have a great start of the week!
ReplyDeleteI've had quite a few pieces that I was on the verge of getting rid of, but something about them would inspire me to hold on for just a little while and most of the times, I've been happy with the decision. Either it was a bit of a trendier piece that came back around or I found new ways of styling it that made me feel as though it were a fresh new piece. That said, it was wise to hold onto that shirt, the peplum detail is so pretty and it's one of those shirts that can be easily dressed up or down; I love the way you've added another peplum piece to it, adding more drama and dimension. I'm also loving that tote, it's gorgeous! It's the perfect size and I love the fact that it has no hardware, it's very sleek. Thanks for sharing, girlie, and I hope you have a great week ahead!

This is such a fun and fresh way to style a white button down Gabrielle! the double peplum look fabulous as that stylish and roomy tote!

Both are great outfits! I love the double peplum too! It's a trend I'm pleased to see hanging around as it's so easy to wear, although I've never tried two pieces together, it looks really nice :) That is a lovely bag too - I like big totes you can just throw everything into.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great start to the week!

These are such beautiful combos -- I'm not really sure which look I love more! I love how you've added the black strappy top over the shirt to create a less simplistic look. I also adore the bag (I also have about ten million things to carry!) and how spacious it looks.
