I feel recently my style is changing again, perhaps it's just because this tends to happen every A/W and S/S for me, but I feel I'm being more drawn to simpler outfits, with a more chic look. If you follow my instagram you'd of seen I've not really worn colour for the past 3 months, apart from the odd party dress and disco pant. This may change as usual in the summer where I jump into wearing the usual pastel greens and other lovely colours.

I've noticed I'm re-looking through my wardrobe and feel some things aren't me anymore, and they end up on my depop. (Shameless plug, I still have lots for sale on there, shipping worldwide too, user "leannelimwalker".)

I love this outfit, very simple and flattering to my shape. I seriously am in love with my riding pants, finally something that sits high waisted on me! I've had these for almost 3 years now and own 4 different colours. I have a long body and short legs so these help balance that out. The jacket works well as it's cropped, this cut helps to show off my shape rather than skimming my waist which can make me look straight up and down. These boots are also so so comfy! I wear them all the time and they add a good bit of height to me too.

Can we take a moment for that amazing Baia bag! I'm shooting their new collection next month and I'm so excited to see their new designs. I am in love with this Dalmatian print! Love it too? Well have it made in any of their bag styles in their made to order section.

Do you feel your style has changed over the winter?

LEANNE LIM-WALKER X BAIA - I designed a bag!

With Baia Bags I have designed my very own limited edition handbag, and it's now available to buy here!

Coat / Topshop
Shirt / Topshop
Riding Pants / American Apparel
Jeffrey Campbell Litas / Loveclothing


I am so excited to finally share this with you all! Earlier in the year I was contacted by Susy from Baia asking if I wanted to take part in this exciting opportunity. Myself and 3 other bloggers have designed our own take on Baia's classic "Midi" handbag! I was thrilled with the idea as I am so fussy with handbags. I don't really own that many, so designing my own was a dream come true! Having it arrive this weekend and holding it myself was just surreal, I'm so very proud!

I wanted to design a bag I could easily wear with an array of outfits, I went for a classic black but contrasted with the textures of quilted leather and silky suede <3 To compliment the brass hardware a chain strap was used instead of all plain black, to make it a bit different, it's half chain half strap (thinking about comfort whilst wearing it).

To reflect my love of all things nautical there's a stripe lining, avoiding navy though, so not to clash with the black of the bag. To keep things extra safe these's a handy inside zip pocket and the main flap of the bag is kept closed with magnets.

Susy's attention to detail has been amazing, sticking so true to my design, and I squealed at the use of black and white ribbon for the box to reflect the bags lining. She's a genius! Hollie loved the box it came in too <3
There will be a limited run of 25, each is handmade to order. I am such a big fan of Baia bags, I own two already so I highly recommend you also check out their other styles too! This one retails at £149 and is available here.

My Birthday!

So the past two weeks have been a little quieter than usual here on my blog, this is due to my birthday & sorting out my room. Blog sale soon!

The week before last was when my birthday celebrations began! The Thursday was spent in town with Jade and Sarah. We shopped and enjoyed the sun shine. I was on the hunt for a backless stick on bra which could disconnect at the front as the playsuit I planned to wear from Missguided had a mesh panel down the front and I didn't want it showing. I went EVERYWHERE! Last place I looked was Primark and they had the exact one I had in mind for only £5!

That night we all went out in Norwich with Jacqueline as well, we danced the night away and got to escape the packed dance for in VIP.

So on the 17th August I turned 24!
Here are some of my amazing presents!
See everything I got in my Birthday Haul Video below. This isn't me bragging! This was requested by people on instagram for me to do this, and I would have included them in my August haul anyway, just thought it was nicer to break them out as my haul videos have been rather long lately!

On the day I ventured to Cambridge with Jack where we went punting long the beautiful river <3 This bridge was in Harry Potter!
Sunday evening we had a meal with my family where I wore my Missguided dress with a Topshop Blazer, my Baia pouch and some heels.

Bag / c/o Baia

We ate so much food at a local Chinese restaurant, then back at home my parents surprised me with a cake and they all sang happy birthday <3 
I had such a lovely birthday! Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

Watch my vlog to see it all happen <3

Black and Gold

We all need a little black dress in our lives, I have several myself, but this has now got to be my favourite yet! It's a simple dress featuring a sweet heart neckline, rocked up with a statement cage top. I just love the symmetry of this, the back detailing is so beautiful and it sits better than the front. I think my lack of boobage in that area is the reason for that ^_^ Ideally if this came in a smaller size I would have snapped that up, they only have sizes S and M. 

If you wanted one for yourself, or anything else from Choies, use code "Sept10ff" for 10% off your order during this month here.

I wanted to keep this outfit quite simple and chic, so I added some black strappy heels, wore my mini Baia bag as a clutch (simply removing the strap) and tied my hair back in a simple pony tail. A classic red lip makes it perfect for evening wear, this is one of my current favourites, "Russian Red" by Mac.

For day wear I would reattach the strap to my Baia bag, add sunnies and a pair of chunky cut out boots for a more relaxed look.
