Winter Garden: Exploring dark tones and contrast greens

Hey squaddies, a quintessentially BRITISH winter garden, FLAWLESS makeup and DRAMATIC WINTER style is what you can expect from Pooja's latest collaboration with Aarena Photography at the gorgeous setting of SOPWELL HOUSE.

Whilst back home in the UK, a second wardrobe is essential due to the cold and unpredictable weather which is the opposite to Doha's usual climate entirely. It was a pleasure to work with an old friend Kam who did the entire makeup and photography for the shoot. The first look was INSPIRED by Pooja's love of vintage and the iconic Gucci renaissance fall 16 collection creating the ideal daytime to eveningwear outfit.

The COAT is a shearling lined Ralph Lauren piece which was bought a few years ago. Due to the colour and versitility it can be worn repeatedly season after season -it has become a great investment piece! The MAXI DRESS is from a British brand called Ragyard which was bought on Pooja's travels in Portobello Road, it is a delicately handmade piece.

We are also absolutely in love with these chunky Mango burgundy VELVET platforms which were bought in Villagio mall Qatar. The whole look was finished by wearing the gorgeous VINTAGE real snakeskin Tanner Krolle bag which was borrowed from Pooja's mum's closet!

One of the major sentiments here is that you can always be stylish regardless of what your budget is! The key is to invest in some good quality pieces which you would get a lot of wear out of! We would love to see how you style yourself, use the #LRSSQUADDIE to show us your style tips.

Stay tuned for more of our #london looks coming soon on the blog.
