'As we transition from summer to autumn, I'm all about keeping it comfy, but then elevating the look by adding some statement vintage pieces. My vibe is quite minimal – I enjoy mixing streetwear with cute girly dresses 🥰 For this look, I opted for a flattering Topshop maxi dress paired with my DIY ASOS cropped denim jacket. To finish off the look, ofc I had to add my fave vintage accessories – my iconic Christian Dior hobo bag and my much-loved Gucci sunnies.'

'It’s all about Y2K for me!! 💿 I'm loving being able to wear the brands I loved in my teens and being shameless about it. Brash but fash!! That's the vibe ✌️ Fashion for me is having fun and enjoying being yourself, always. Oh and sunglasses are a must – whatever weather! At the moment, I'm enjoying wearing cropped trousers or jorts with a little off-the-shoulder top and boots. This look is from two of my fave Marketplace sellers, Timeless Wear and Heretic Nine! Check them out!'

'I love mixing feminine silhouettes with baggy, oversized pieces, that's why I chose the velvet dress. It could be styled v glam and girly, but by changing the accessories you get something more cool and unique. I also love a good statement piece – something that looks original. I added the motocross jacket – mainly because I'm obsessed with those at the moment – and paired it with these extreme ankle boots to get a great juxtaposition of cool and feminine 🏎️ I love how the black denim knot bag ties the look together and keeps it all very sleek.'

'My style right now is all about mixing hero pieces from trends I've been following and giving them a spin to match my personal style. I'm really into making my wardrobe more functional, so I've been investing in key vintage workwear pieces and brands like Dickies and Carhartt 💪 My fave piece this summer is this Carhartt Denim Gilet. Its boxy shape allows me to layer it with almost anything – smock dresses, tees and also my go-to plaid skirt from Bee's Knees Apparel on Marketplace – it's v blokecore!' ⚽️
