Outfit of the day Monochrome with a rainbow wash

Our outfit of the day consists of a lot of our favourite brands and colours, black and white! We definitely think this outfit is more easily worn than perhaps the last couple of outfit of the days except for the giant UNIF boots maybe, haha!


Firstly we have our wet look unicorn leggings which are now available from our site www.jenniferhope.co.uk for only £15! So get them while you can! I love these leggings as you can wear them with a dark outfit but they add a bit of colour that you can match some accessories with.

We have gone for the 420 jersey from UNIF, you can buy this top from Urban Outfitters for £90.00 or from the UNIF site for $108.00 but after the shipping and custom charges it might be cheaper to just buy it from UO. Although we have also gone for these UNIF Salem platform boots so maybe if you bought them at the same time it would be a lot cheaper to buy from the states, who knows! The Salem boots are $195 dollars from the UNIF site so they definitely aren't cheap but are definitely a pair of show stopping boots that can be worn on numerous occasions. We have worked with UNIF shoes for shoots before and as much as they look like you could never walk in them they are actually 100times more comfy than any other high heel because if you cut off the platform on the front against the heel, theres not much heel at all. Your only issue is toppling to the side but boots would be a lot more secure on your ankle. We rate UNIF shoes highly for anyone who wants a pair of impressive heels but want to last the night also.

We have accessorised this outfit with Drop Deads Pika beanie which is so super cute with its little ears. There are a lot of black beanies going around now its awesome to have one with a bit of a difference. You can buy this beanie for only £15 from their Drop Dead Website. 

We also wanted to bring a bit of colour from the leggings into the outfit however subtly to not take away from the leggings so we have gone for this Nail polish from MAC called 'Violet Fire'. To compliment the dark outfit but also bring in the purple shades from the nails and the leggings with have gone for MACS 'Cyber' lipstick which is a perfect shade between dark purple and black. Cyber gives the lips a gothic look but not too extreme that you feel that you've just painted you lips for halloween. 

To finish off the outfit we have gone for this velvet black choker from Shop Moon Child, which as you can probably tell its one of our new favourite accessory shops. We thought the peace sign would look amazing with this outfit due to the monochrome vibe of the t-shirt, boots and beanie!

We love this outfit as its very monochrome which we love but as a tiny blast of rainbow.

Outfit of the day pastel palette

Our outfit of the day is inspired by a mix of gorgeous pastel colours. We absolutely love pastel colours and our pastel tie dye is some of our best selling pieces along with these pastel snake skin leggings. We love the wave of pastel coloured hair over the last couple of years so we've added a bottle of Parma Violets from Bleach London if your daring enough!


Firstly we've gone for some of our favourite leggings from our collection; our pastel snake skin leggings which are available from www.jenniferhope.co.uk for only £18! We love these leggings as if you don't like to get your legs out in summer these are super good for looking summery but covering up at the same time. To match the lilac shades in the leggings we have teamed them with this stunning slashed lilac jumper from The Ragged Priest available from their online store for £38. 
We have picked this amazing Hologram bag to match the shoes from Nasty Gal for $58. I think we are pretty keen on teaming up hologram at the moment but it definitely sits extremely well with pastel shades.
To bring out the lilac colour of the jumper we have this gorgeous lilac nail varnish from Topshop. They also have an amazing Matte topcoat available which transforms all your nails into a Matte finish. If you are daring enough we have added this bottle of Bleach London Parma Violets hair dye if you fancy putting the colour through your hair also. 
We have added this tattoo choker to separate the violet shades incase you do go for a lilac shade in your hair. The black choker also incorporates the black edges of the hologram bag.
To finish of the look we have gone for these incredible Alana Gold chunky heels from La Moda UK for only £32!

Outfit of the day inspired by Mermaids and Unicorns

Todays outfit of the day is inspired by well....magical things like unicorns, mermaids and rainbows! This outfit is definitely not for the faint hearted. We think you could rock this outfit at a festival, we are picturing more like Coachella rather than english muddy fields. However the chunky heels could be replaced for a pair of wellys to suit England as we have still added a raincoat!


We have gone with our very easily worn white unicorn crop which is now available for only £10 from our site www.jenniferhope.co.uk. This crop can be changed up to be worn with just simple black disco pants and trainers or jeans and sandals.
We have gone for some simple dis-stressed white denim shorts from Topshop for £28. Our incredible jacket is from the brand Ragged Priest which is available online from their website for £60, which I think is nothing for such a statement and practical item! To combine the hologram of the shoes we have added these UNIF hologram Shady sunglasses for $58.00 from UNIF website. To finish off the outfit we have gone for these chunky heels called 'Alana Silver's from La Moda Uk for only £32!

If you could live without the sunglasses you could pick up this whole outfit for only £130! And yet again so many of the items could be worn and reworked for different occasions. Lets be honest who doesn't want to dress like a walking mash up of mermaids, rainbows and unicorns.

Outfit of the day inspired by Ciara

Our outfit of the day is inspired by the goddess herself, Ciara. We absolutely love how Ciara makes a pair of satin joggers and a t-shirt vest into such a smart casual outfit with the use of accessories and colour. I have featured our HOPE Bristol vest in this outfit which as can be seen in this outfit can be worn in a smart outfit or a casual one.



The Black and Gold HOPE Bristol vest is now available for £15 from our jenniferhope.co.uk store. We love this vest as it can be worn casually or as you can see teamed with some satin joggers and heels to look smart. These satin joggers are £42.00 from Topshop which yet again can be mixed up through the footwear you decide to wear with them. We also believe they will be a perfect item for summer if you don't fancy getting your legs out they would be nice and cool.
We added some classic black Ray Ban Wayfarer's that Ciara is wearing in the image above with a gold chunky chain bracelet and gold chain necklace both by GoGo Philip that are available over in the sale on ASOS for £10 and £16.
To finish off the outfit we have gone with these stunning chunky black sandals called 'Skylar Black' from Lamoda UK. These sandals are just stunning and only £30!
Excluding the Ray Bans as we all know they will set you back around £120 you can pick up this whole outfit for just £113! Such a bargain considering a lot of the items can be reworked and reworn for more casual occasions.

Must have gothic accessories

I've recently found some of the best jewellery and I know a lot of my friends and customers have been asking me where bits are from. I thought I'd put together a little blog post on some of my favourite items. Today I have gone for my favourite gothic items, you would say gothic considering 3 of the items consist of pentagrams but its definitely one of my favourite symbols.

Firstly I have these stunning hooped Pentagram earrings that were bought for me as a present from 'Me and Zena' which are available from Asos.com for £16.00. The brand Kill Star also do a version of these earrings for a little more expensive however I believe they are bigger.



Secondly I recently bought this incredible velvet choker with silver pentagram from my new favourite jewellery shop online 'Shop Moon Child' (shopmoonchild.bigcartel.com). It's perfect to change up the look of an outfit with just one bit of jewellery. They have such a gorgeous range of products and purple/pink velvet chokers also.




Thirdly is my silver pentagram ring. I actually bought this from Camden market which may be a pain for people to go to but it was worth it as it's real silver therefore I can wear it all the time without my fingers going green and it was only £20. I have seen a couple on eBay so that might be a best bet! If your planning to wear it all the time and you get green fingers too its worth spending the money!



And last it my beautiful white studded choker. I actually got this on eBay for £8 so its actually a bargain! I think the white leather makes it look a lot more feminine and definitely easier to wear. You can also wear the pentagram choker and white studded choker together which is a perfect combination!
