Whiter shade of pale...

Hellooo!

I've been seeing white bags everywhere recently and loving them! They're quite girlie and pretty and I think they would look great with a monochrome outfit or even to contrast a bright one! Only problem is I'd imagine they'd get pretty dirty in day to day life so if I give in and buy one I may have to invest in one of these!

1 | Asos flower cutout detail bag £35

2 | River Island white metal plate geometric backpack £40

3 | Topshop edge paint satchel £28

4 | Next laser cut clutch (Also an Ipad case!) £22

Which is your favourite?

What do you think of this trend?

Spring Haul!

Hello!
I went to Westfield White City which, if you didn't know, is a magical place where every shop you could want (except primark actually) is under one roof so you can kiss goodbye to any money you may have...

I bought a few bits for my holiday and just a few other bits just to treat myself! Brace yourselves...








First stop Boots!
Sun cream is a holiday essential and Hawaiian tropic is half price in Boots so I got factor 20 for the first few days and 15 for the last few days along with some after sun! I love the look of the silk hydration and they smell quite nice too! I also went for it and bought Liz Earle skin repair moisturiser which was rather expensive but I'm liking it a lot so far so I think that it's going to be worth it! Fingers crossed...

Next Stop Hollister!

I thought I'd treat myself to a bit of Tippers Beach Body Mist because it smells amazing, like sweets! And I thought it would be nice to take on holiday instead of lugging around perfume bottles.

To Lush!

I love the Lush shampoo and conditioner bars anyway and was due to repurchase some and I thought they would be great to take on holiday for me and my boyfriend to use! I got the Seanik shampoo bar, see my review here, and the Jungle conditioner bar! I also picked up the Tea tree toner water because I loved the Eau Roma water and the Breath of Fresh Air and I also love Tea tree products for the skin so thought I'd try this one this time. 

Last Stop Topshop...

Topshop have some beautiful things in their spring summer collections and I decided to take full advantage of my student discount card as it runs out in June! I bought these white scallop hem shorts, which I'll definitely wear on holiday and perhaps with some tights and a white blazer to work for a matchy matchy look!

 I also got this skull print scarf which I'm going to take on holiday for the evenings and look at the pattern it's sooooo pretty! They had it in pink too but I thought grey would go with more! 

I also bought this vvverry cute Denim Pinafore dress and two little crop tops in grey and black which will be perfect for summer! They go great with the pinafore and also the shorts! 

That's all folks!

Have you started your summer shopping yet?

Next Insider Exclusive

I have something a bit special for you today! I recently got the chance to ask Next some questions about their SS13 range! I couldn't wait to share their answers with you lot so here you are...

Have you got any tips for transitioning my wardrobe from winter to spring?

• Invest in one of this season’s key jackets. A colourful leather one is a stylish way to add a colour pop to your AW12 favourites. Other jacket trends include the bomber, the structured jacket and the suit jacket.

• Dig out your jeans! They’ll keep you warm through the colder months. Then come summer, even darker jeans can be brought up to date with pastel tops or broderie camis. Or if you’re looking to invest in a new pair, we love the dip dyed styles lately which come in classic blue or military inspired khaki.

• Phase in some summery trousers and wear with wedge trainers or cuffed sandals for a sports luxe feel. In the Pretty Optic collection for Summer 2013, we’ve got some gorgeous fitted trousers in peach, hot pink and ivory which could easily freshen up the darker berry and navy shades from Winter.

• Blue is the colour of the season, so embrace it! Invest in a blue dress and layer up with knits, tights and boots. Then in summer - dare to bare with some cute gladiator sandals! (See accompanying image of Arizona Muse in daisy lace blue dress and heels)

My favourite trend this spring/summer is monochrome, which pieces from your collection would you recommend?

• If monochrome is your thing, you’ll really love the Summer Modern Tribes collection as well as the Spring story Mono. The Modern Tribes range really plays with mixing up texture, clashing prints and adding highlights of colour to the monochrome trend. Although it is a tailoring story, there are some really versatile pieces in there which could really be dressed up or down to suit the occasion.

• We are totally head over heads with this Zebra Print Skirt, which could easily be worn in the office, to a meal with the girls or for a summer soiree. Bringing together the monochrome, animal print and embellishment trends, here Arizona Muse wears it with a simple white shirt with cut out detailing.

• Another style staple is the black and white linen top in an aztec inspired print. This again can be worn in so many ways - with some skinny fit chinos, a smart black pencil skirt, your favourite jeans  or even with shorts for a festival-feel.

Wasn't that fab! I got some great tips, hope you did too! There are so many lovely pieces for spring summer, just wish this horrible weather would go away and we could start dressing for spring! Here are my picks from the collection... what do you think?

My favourite pieces from the SS13 collection

     

Panel trousers | Tree print shirt

Pink dress |   Black vest

Hope you enjoyed this different type of post!

Nice gal Nasty Gal...

Hello! How are you?

 I LOVE Nasty Gal and have scrolled through the pages for a good few years now admiring all their beautiful clothes but never bought anything! But I was doing a bit of dissertation avoidance (a.k.a. online window shopping) and I found out they have included a conversion into GBP on the website so getting an estimate of prices is easier and also shipping from the US isn't as expensive as I thought it would be. (Around a fiver!) So it's safe to say I have a new obsession! Here is my wishlist so far...

Sunglasses | Rucksack | Necklace | Boots | Scallop dress | Tunic dress | Netted dress

What do you think?

Which are your fave bits?

Spring-Fever!

Hello! How are you?

It was actually kind of sunny one day last week, so I'm counting that as the beginning of Spring! (Lets pretend the recent downpour of snow never happened) On my regular scrolls through the internet I've noticed Topshop have released a very pretty range of cami tops, they're all in such lovely patterns and although my mum would gasp if I told her I'd spent £26 on a vest, I think they would work with so many different outfits that they are deffo worth the price! (I'm really good at convincing myself to spend money...) My fave is number three! So cute, What do you think?

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Which one's your fave?

Have you seen anything you want to buy for when the weather warms up?

Guest Post | Ruffling up some spring fashion

It’s safe to say spring is almost here, signalling a shift from old to new, dark to light; shade to sunshine.

One of the more tangible ways we can get a hold of the changing seasons is through the renewal and rejuvenation of our wardrobes. Let’s be honest – in winter we tend to hide and hibernate. Desperate to stay as warm as possible, we swamp and smother ourselves in the oversized, dark and knitted.

Which, of course, is fine – why shouldn’t we desire warmth and comfort when it’s cold outside?

However, it’s time to throw off the layers and let the light in. Spring fashion is here and with it comes a rainbow of new designs, colour, trends and styles.

One of the most flamboyant and frivolous of the top trends for spring 2013 is arguably the most striking: ruffles. Completely altering winter’s silhouette, it has been seen adding luxurious layers to blouses, shirts and dresses, all of which cut dashing figures in bright cerise and turquoise colours. Balenciaga, Ralph Lauren and Gucci were just a few of the big fashion houses showing how it’s done. These ruffles aren’t there to add an embellished finish – these ruffles are pure statement - pure drama on the shoulders of fluttering females.

This is all very well if you are a catwalk queen. Strutting down catwalks with parrot-sized ruffles on each shoulder works beautifully in the grand theatre of haute couture. However, how do the rest of us ordinary folk wear it with the same sort of panache?
Well, the more girly-girls among us can breathe easy. Pretty ruffles weren’t just stitched onto shoulders, but onto hemlines and sleeves too, meaning fans can team the trend with more ordinary items - like a pair of their favourite jeans or some wedge sandals.
Alternatively, heading to the high street will offer a more palatable range of catwalk trends – in particular this fondness for ruffles. Next has an entire range dedicated to the style - their textured waterfall blouse is probably the most wearable of the collection, working with absolutely everything, from skinny jeans to pencil skirts for work, depending on a day or night look. The top is available in dusky pink, polka dot and floral print, so one of each should certainly set you off to a good start. There are other lovely and subtle touches too – a black ruffle cape is a delicate and dignified way of wrapping the trend around any outfit on those cooler days.

Like with all trends, wear it the way you want to – with your own style at the heart of it.

How I'd Style | Next Neon Peplum Top

Top: Next, Shoes: ASOS, Trousers: ASOS, Necklace: Topshop

I was online shopping and avoiding doing uni work, as usual, and this neon peplum top from next caught my eye. I always try and think of at least two different outfits I could create with something before I buy it (my way of convincing myself that expensive clothes are worth it!) And I thought this would look great for a night out! I love the Neon trend but I'm too pale to pull off anything too dramatic, so this top is perfect :)

What do you think?

Thanks for reading!

So I've been a bit loose with my student loan lately, but lets not think about the debt and how I'm going to buy food for the next three months and all look at the lovely things I've bought, yayyy!
