Shoes- Zara

Jeans- Topshop

Tshirt- American Apparel (old, similar here)

Shirt- Warehouse (old, similar here)

Necklace- New Look

Sunglasses- Ray Ban

Paisley is one of my favourite prints and I absolutely love this little number from Warehouse which I picked up last season. I bought a bigger size and wear it oversized either opened or buttoned up and it looks great! Here I have teamed it with a white see through tee from American Apparel and my ol' faithful Leigh Jeans from Topshop. Teamed with my b-e-a-utiful holographic heels from Zara and I'd say this is the perfect look for a Saturday afternoon down the pub with my lovely boy.

So what do you all think? Let me know your thoughts and I'd love if you could follow me on bloglovin'

Pink Lady

When M&S launched their Autumn campaign directed by Style Director Belinda Earl I was instantly in awe of many of the items from the collection. Not usually a shopper of the retail giant I was quite suprised at the high fashion styling of the campaign and I have massively fell in love with this Pink Crombie. Pink is making us all wink this season and there is a range of coats in various shades all over the high street. The trend is being led by brands like M&S, Zara and Debenhams and is a must have for this season. 

What do you think of this, will you be getting your hands on a pink coat this season?

ZARA: New Collection

Zara have done it again and this time even better. The launch of there new collection has seen me weeping into the sheets of my freshly changed bed. I literally feel severe pain in response to me not being able to own every single piece. I can treat myself to a few things and number1 on my list will be the super cute cow print skirt followed by the wintery check wool coat. I mean wowza's! I feel like Zara are just getting it right at the minute and for me they have definitely taken the crown away from Topshop for no1 high street retailer.

Whacha think honey's? Is Zara your go to place too?

Itsie Bitsie Event

On Wednesday I was invited to attend the fabulous fashion show & bloggers event held by Itsie Bitsie in London. The location was 1 Leicester Square and it was anything, but dull. Beautifully dressed girls along side some bangin' swimwear & cover ups makes up one hell of a show. The venue was the Penthouse and it was filled with contemporary furniture and elegant drinks. I had a chance to meet some fellow bloggers and experienced my first blogging event which I absolutely loved. Just wanted to say thank you to the guys for the invite and for my free goody bag that included and Itsie Bitsie Sarong- I will be definitely showing this off now its summer! Apologies for the quality of the images, I had to use my old slr for the event!

Ksubi

Over the past year I've began admiring a different kind of Fashion. I remember the days when all I wanted to wear was Vintage one of kind dresses and bargains from a good rummage at my local charity shop. However these days I find my self attracted to the more simple things in life, with brands like COS, Whistles, & Monki, becoming firm favourites. I thought I knew what I wanted to wear and how I wanted to wear it, but that was until I cam across Australian brand Ksubi.

A mix of chic tailored pants and body con dress is juxtaposed with beautiful digital prints on soft silk and chunky wool. The denim range is also to be admired with some of the best fitting boyfriend jeans I've seen. The prints are reminiscent of baroque ceilings and gold leaf paintings. Somewhat of a statement brand I can't wait to get my hands on some of these pieces. Check out Ksubi and tell me if you admire it as much as I do.

The Road to Coachella by Topshop

How's everybody's week so far? I've got the mid week blues and so I decided to cheer myself up with some retail therapy. After going to my obvious first pit stop Topshop I came across the beautiful new video featuring Kate Bosworth. Have you seen it? Have a look below....

The way this has been shot means I am in absolute awe of Bosworth and the new product she is donning. I love the softness of the film and the relaxed hippie festival trend that is coming through on each of the looks. My absolute favourite is the final look of the video. A soft white dress is an absolute winner for a hot summers day. Beautiful.

What do you think of the video? How beautiful is Kate seriously!?

Georgia Hardinge X River Island Design Forum

If you haven't yet heard of Georgia Hardinge, really where have you been? Graduating from Parsons School of Design in Paris and residing here in London ensured Georgia had a great start to her career. In 2010 I was lucky enough to intern with her over the summer and assist on her first show at London Fashion Week. That year Hardinge went onto to win the Vauxhall Fashion Scout Merit Award and the rest they say is history.

Taking inspiration from art and sculpture the collection has everything you'd expect from the designer; Prints, sculptured details and chic silhouettes are presented beautifully in hues of moody charcoal, bright white and softer shades of grey. The boyish shirts juxtaposed against feminine body con dresses are the kind of thing Hardinge does so dramatically well. Accessories show hints of metallic and the shoe of the season (flatforms) are updated with a sculptured trim. If you're the kind of girl who would like to put a twist on the Spring/Summer trends then this is the place to do it and to do it well. Take a look at the full collection here.

All Images PRShots

The River Island Design Forum Collection is another one of Hardinge's wonderful milestones in her career. Gaining exposure with the high street giant means more and more people will learn about her and even more will love her.

What do you think of the collection?

New Buys.

Happy Easter to you all! How's everybody's weekend so far?! I've got a few things planned and I'm currently back in Manchester enjoying family time. I've mainly spent the last week buying new bits of clothing for the days ahead and I thought I'd share with you my new buys, so take a look below!

I bought 2 lovely tops, one from COS and one from &other stories, i also bought some trousers from H&M and shoes from Primark. Boy have I given some money to Hennes & Mauritz this week.

I bought the lime top from COS for £39. I think this is quite steep for a tshirt style top, but it is made in some lovely silk fabric that has a slight metallic look to it. The black tee from &other stories has a white mesh stripe running through which is a more relaxed way to wear the Monochrome trend. The geo print trousers are an absolute bargain for £14.99 from the wonder that is H&M. A pop of colour in the form of cobalt blue is just what I needed right now! And the shoes, oh the shoes!! I've been looking for a pair of heeled sandals for so long and I was stunned to find these baby's in Primark for just £12.

What do you guys think of these? Have you bought anything wonderful lately? Please leave your comments and links!

Global Kids Fashion Week!

So like so many of us do, today I was reading Grazia on my lunch hour and I was absolutely besotted as soon as I saw the words. Global Kids Fashion Week. I mean how adorable?! I know that we shouldn't be putting so much pressure on kids and youth today in terms of body image etc, but I really could not help looking at the pictures and thinking oh my god, how CUTE?!

The event was sponsored by established brands such as Paul Smith Junior, Chloe, Tommy Hilfiger, Junior Gaultier, Diesel, Little Marc Jacobs & so many more. Although the week was centered around new fashion from around the world there was also entertainment, activities and fundraising that included both the children and their parents. 

Sponsored by AlexandAlexa.com the fashion shows were infused with dancing, laughing and even balloons, whilst still having a high degree of professionalism. Overall it seemed like a great few days that has given brands the opportunity to build up there exposure on Kidswear and its status as a ever expanding industry.
