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!?

halloo...So today's been rather sunny and so I celebrated this with a little bit of my summer wardrobe. Sunglasses and Flatforms! I bought the trousers from h&m for a bargain of £14.99 and I've paired them with my new Flatforms from Topshop. I absolutely love them and they are so comfortable as well as bang on trend and all for £32. I think this is pretty good in comparison to similar offerings by the likes of McCartney and Wang.

As most of you probably are, I'm very much looking forward to my summer holiday and it just so happens it begins in less than 4 weeks! eeek! Baring this in mind I decided I needed a bit of a haul to get me some summer ready pieces. 

As usual Topshop was my first stop, where I got this b-e-a-utiful dungarees. They are check, with polka dots to make them a little more fun. I got some great Flatforms after months f searching for the perfect pair, I bought these beauties from Topshop for a bargain price of £32. I also bought my second 2 piece of the season in the form of this tropical printed midi skirt and crop top. This will be absolutely perfect for a stroll round any Greek Harbour!Throw in some cute crop tops from Primark, a necklace from New Look and my haul is complete!

Whistles SS13 Lookbook: Boyfriend Denim

So while I was doing my usual online browsing before payday hits, I came across a new Capsule Collection by Whistles, based on Boyfriend Denim. Simple Boyish Shapes worn with oversized jumpers and simple leather accessories makes it a beauty of a capsule! This is my kind of thing- simple shapes made from beautiful fabric in soft hues of pink, green and black. Perfecto!

Trend Watch: PINK

Looking over the Trend Books put together by Vogue, Elle, Company and even at my own employer Debenhams Its obvious that there is a few clear leaders in the Trends for SS13. Monochrome, Minimal and Sports Luxe are the top dogs for me, but has anyone thought about Pink?!

Erdem, Christopher Kane, Sonia Rykiel & DVF are just some of the designers that are reinventing the once 'Girly Girls Only' colour with fresh pastels, bright neons and hot hues. Pink has had a radical transformation and it is one I am absolutely loving. If you know me you will know that I rarely steer away from the dark side, with Black, Grey and Navy being my go too shades, however there is just something about the freshness and execution of Pink that makes me want to get my hands on so many pieces. Take a look at some inspiration that I have found below;

Clockwise: Christopher Kane SS13 / Topshop Tumblr / Solange Knowles / Burberry Prorsum SS13 / Facehunter / Christopher Kane SS13 / Shoes: Next £32 / Shorts: Roksanda Ilincic £400 / 

Will you be wearing Pink this summer? What do you think of my picks above? Please comment and leave your links. I would also be grateful if you could follow me on Google and on Bloglovin here.

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!

Trend Watch: CheckMate!

When the SS13 Collections were presented to us back in September  we saw the revival of the check. There was tartan, Monochrome, oversizing and more variations of the classic trend. This time we saw a cleaner and more sophisticated way of wearing the pattern Burberry made so famous so long ago. I'm an admirer of this trend and have quite a few staple check pieces myself, so I decided to put together a little moodboard of my favourite pieces which I dream of getting my hands on this season....money permitting of course!

Here we go again...

So Zara have done it again, but this time with Cara Delevingne.

Each season I look forward to the Zara Video Look Book, it's a little different from their competitors and they always seem to bring an element of fun whilst always honoring there unbelievable range.

I could watch this over and over again....and I probably will.
