FACE THE SUN


We all know I'm a jeans and t-shirt girl. However, this lil Topshop number has revolutionised by outlook on dresses. The perfect day to night bodycon, with unique detailing on the back, an incredibly flattering cut and £18 price tag [bargain right?], I've literally snapped this up in khaki [above], a burnt orange and grey. Obsessed, I know. 

I'd deffo wear the khaki version on a night out, but I'm loving it as a day-time piece. I threw on the button down grey dress from Miss Selfridge [I know, I bought something from Miss S] to relax the body-tight vibes, throw on a backpack and platform loafers...you got yourself a look.

YOU'RE RIPPED AT EVERY EDGE BUT YOU'RE A MASTERPIECE



You all know I tend to go through phases where I find a look & I get obsessed with it. Today's outfit is a perfect example of this. 

There are about a million variations of this outfit that I've been rotating [see one here]. Usually centred around my Topshop MOM jeans that I destroyed, it'll either be really minimal as soon in my instagram snap above or slightly more dressed up [yeah a flannel, fedora and jazzy boho chocker is 'dressed up' for me]. I've had this super relaxed flannel in my wardrobe forever and now I'm blonde 
[lol jks it's yellow] I've been wearing it non-stop. 

The perfect throw on and go Monday look.

WON'T YOU BE MY ELECTRIC, BABY? I WANT THIS FEELING TO STAY

"OH-EM-GEE YOU HAVE ORANGE HURRR" omg I know how tragic, that's what happens when ur stuck in the mid-stages of bleaching your hair...but TheLenihanLook must stop for no man, no bleach, no nothing. 

You can currently snap up these shorts for £11.25 [HERE]

Today's look is a variation of lots of different outfits I've seen floating around. Interchanging culottes [Alex, I'm stealing your style big-time] and cigarette pants for my boy-shorts [Angus Young, I hope you're proud?], I'm semi-formal for once.
Okay, so of course I needed a laid back element - enter my sliced in half Topman tee. Throw on a leather jacket, some heeled boots and a snapback [I know I don't look half as cool in a snapback as I think I do] and you're good to go. I love the formal elements crossed with more of an urban vibe. It's one of those looks that'd also look super cool with Nike trainers and a bomber jacket.

Coachella comes to London Town with H&M

Man, I am obsessed with this outfit BUT ironically, considering it was the day of the #SLBloggerBash [post coming soon] I couldn't have been in a less photogenic state. So excuse the awkwardness that translates intensely in these snaps. 



Although I'd rather go on Warped Tour than to Coachella, there's something so damn cool about it. The idea of being in a desert, surrounded by palm trees while ACDC rock out [yes, I'm so jealous of anyone that saw them last night] is a world away from life here in London Town. 

Today's outfit features a piece from H&M's Coachella collection [you can shop here]. As soon as I saw these flared trousers I knew I had to have them. I've not been a massive lover of flared jeans but these trews are jersey and high waisted, so it's effectively like wearing cool PJ's and being able to eat everything and hide your tummy. Also, being on the taller side, it was pretty rad that these babies were long enough to touch the floor even with a block heel.

YOU'RE CRAZY AND YOU NEVER FADED


Taking a lil break from OOTD's on TheLenihanLook has done me the world of good. 
I'm going back to basics. I want this blog to be more of a look book, less stressing over snazzy location hunting and more emphasis on the actual look

These days it's rare you'll see me in a tight midi-skirt, but in an attempt to beat the Monday blues, we're going for something a little more risqué than usual. Obviously I had to take the formality away of the midi - enter my leather jacket, chunky boots and mens socks. Focusing on my waist, rather than 'dem hips n thighs' I sliced my plain black t-shirt from Topman in half. Oh and because I'm *desperately* trying to put some colour into my wardrobe, here's an electric blue oversized bag for ya.

GO ON & LIGHT A CIGARETTE, SET A FIRE IN MY HEAD

It's MOM-day. Har har, get it?





Forgot the 70's, I'm sticking the 90's.
I've been on the hunt-down for a pair of real vintage blue wash MOM jeans forever and ironically, on my first day in my new job I stumbled 'cross these, thanks Topshop [and the fate Gods]. I've got this real thing for blue denim and black clothes, so this outfit is something I'm pretty much living in. 

In an attempt to jazz things up, I've whacked on some jewellery. I am obsessed with this hand/ring/chain thing [really good at describing things], it's such a statement piece but when teamed with a more laid back outfit it seems to work pretty darn well. 

All in all, today we're doing laid back and there's nothing new there.

POLICE & FLASHING LIGHTS, THE RAIN CAME DOWN SO HARD THAT NIGHT




Let's face it, I can re-create ASOS covers all I like but I'm most comfortable in jeans and a leather jacket. 
Today, it's all about MOM jeans and although I absolutely love the aesthetic I find them so damn hard to style. I threw this look together and it's by luck more than anything that it's worked, but I've got to admit, I took a little inspo from Alex Gaskarth's look during his stage invasion of YMAS at Reading last year [here]. 

 It's quite a clumpy look but I love that vibe. It's got a grunge/boyish feel and that's the zone I'm most comfortable in. There are elements within this look that help to break it up and lift the initial heaviness, the plaid shirt adds texture and breaks up the outfit smack bang in the middle of the body, you've got the sheer element and cut outs of the Topshop tee and the daintiness of the layered necklace. Broken down, there's definitely A LOT going on but I'm loving it. 

Oh the mane of mess [aka my hair] is back, I gave up on straightening it because it really can't be tamed.

MARQUES ALMEIDA & AN ASOS INTERPRETATION



Ever since the latest ASOS mag landed on my doorstep, I've been obsessed with this look. It's not an idea I'd usually gravitate too, but there's something effortlessly cool about it.
Lately, WhatOliviaDid has become my bible for inspiration. It blows me away how amazing Olivia's wardrobe is and one thing [amongst many] that she nails are looks built around denim skirts. So, plenty of inspo for this particular OOTD then, eh? 


I discovered Marques Almeida through TOPSHOP and after looking into their brand, I've been lusting after their pieces for ages now but totally unaware of the label [eg: Kylie Jenner's ace denim shirt-dress here]. I've wanted an A Line button up skirt for a while now, so when I saw this from the Topshop collaboration, I snapped it up. I don't own any deep blue denim so this is a great investment piece for my wardrobe, I love the distressed edges and the silver hardware. Annoyingly, it's miles to big around the waist for me, so aside from this post I usually wear it a little lower on the hips but other than that it's the skirt of my dreams. 



I'm planning to do another "Shoe Collection" post soon so we can drool over these sandals properly, but how gorgeous are they? Dorothy Perkins are on-pointe with their shoes at the mo.

HAVE A SMOKE, POUR A DRINK, STEAL A KISS IN THE DARK




Today's been a tease. It's been so damn sunny [cold as balls in the wind, but we'll overlook that] and all I want to do is fast forward to mid-June. 

In a moment of madness, I decided to make good use of the January sales and stock up for summer. [Right now my wardrobe is looking pretty cool, but pretty chilly]. I've been obsessed with this print for ages now and as soon as I saw this dress in the sale on Missguided I snapped it up. So many fashion bloggers claim M/G to be their holy grail but I've had so much trouble with them in the past so I was super reluctant to buy this BUT it's exceeded all my expectations. 

I love the faux-shirt sleeves that tie up, you guys know I love tying a plaid shirt around my waist so this is right up my street. It's rare you'll see me in a dress but this piece has a real laid back vibe to it, I cannot wait for summer to throw it on without tights and just a pair of VANS and go. 

It's still pretty darn chilly so I threw on my Topman bomber jacket that never seems to leave my shoulders at the moment and of course, the chunkiest boots you'll ever see from Topshop. Oh and let's not forget the most hideously beautiful sunglasses you've ever seen. I'll be wearing them until they inevitably break, so get used to 'em.

LEATHER ME WITH YOUR LIPS



In a wild attempt to fool Van McCann into falling in love with me, I stole his style [inspo here]. That's how you get a guys attention...right? If you don't have a clue who Van McCann is and you've never heard of Catfish and The Bottleman, you're seriously missing out. 

Today's look is something that's pretty darn simple but never crossed my mind. Lately I've had a serious case of the January blues and that meant I've refused to take off the slouchy black jumper and VANS. This particular look is an attempt to refresh my style, strip it down and go for something a little less complex and a lot more classic. I mean, you can't go wrong with stripes, hints of red and a leather jacket can you?
