Shoes- PPQ at Office (last season)

Necklace- Debenhams

Backpack- c/o Debenhams

I apologise fully for my lack of blogging over the past week. I'm in the process of organising a new flat mate as well as many deadlines and sign offs at work. So all in all I've been super busy and if I'm honest this is this first time I've touched my desktop in days. Anyhooo this is what I'm wearing today, I figured if I start the week well on the blog front I might just do okay.

My beloved longline tunic from COS makes an appearance frequently in both summer and winter. Today I've teamed it with my printed skinny's. I bought these a while back from H&M, but they are still a favourite of mine. Then we have the shoes, oh the shoes!! PPQ at office are the brains behind these beauties. I admit they are rather high, but for a day in the office they are perfect...(I get to sit). My buttery soft leather backpack is from Debenhams and will be in store soon, so keep an eye out!

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?

Style | Tropical Dreaming

Happy Wednesday to all ! Just to share one of my favourite outfits of the summer so far..my tropical 2 piece from Topshop. If you remember I shared my love for 2 Pieces a few weeks ago in my 2 in 1 post. They're just so cute and I feel like I need to get my hands on as many as possible! I wore this little number on holiday and over the past few weeks with the sun, I've definitely got my wear out of it. I love the print and it is so so pretty with some simple black sandals.

Whatcha think honeys?

Diamonds & Pearls

You probably think I've been doing a lot of wish list's and outfit posts recently, but it literally is because there is so much out there right now! But if I'm honest, my bank balance is not letting me buy s much s I'd quite like. Although one thing I've been buying into Costume Jewellery, at a rapid pace in recent months and I've found that for a small price you can grab a statement piece that can total transform a simple outfit. 

Recently I've come across a few incredible places for Jewellery that I'd like to share. My first stop for some great pieces is the cute brand Little Birdie London. A relatively new brand, but offering some on trend pieces at great prices and even more the quality is much better than I've found at High street stores which have been around for years. This alone means that Little Birdie is a definite must when searching for the right piece.

The second is Dixi. An absolutely fantastic place for statement Rings and Necklaces. There specialty is precious stones and crystals, set in silver. This is right up my street and if you're looking for jewellery with a vintage feel you'll certainly get this at Dixi. With prices starting at £10, its a sure thing you'll find something within budget. 

These kind of places mean that although I might not be buying new clothing, I'm certainly buying Accessories and with product like this on offer I needn't worry as I can refresh my look as often as I like. Perfect!

Is there any other great websites I should be looking at for Jewellery?

Lucky Number 7

So are you enjoying the lovely weather?! I'm so happy that we have finally seen the sun and I've had the chance to wear some of my summer wardrobe!

For a Sunday afternoon in the village beer garden I wore this striped tee by House of Holland which I bought just before Christmas. I usually team it with a black Leather Mini from Topshop, but as the weather was so bloody nice I paired it with my Oversized Denim Boyfriend Shorts by JWAnderson x Topshop. I Absolutely love these and they are so comfy!! Finished with my Wooden Cloggs and Vintage Sunnies and I was onto a winning summer look. The only thing I can't excuse is my lack of tan which i will be solving shortly as it is only 2 weeks till my holiday!!! Can you tell that I'm excited?

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!?

For my New York look I picked this super cute silk dress in a soft pink hue from Topshop Boutique. With white being a big shade of the season and the fact that its summer soon I decided to team it with White accessories in the form on elegant strappy sandals and a minimal clutch, both from River Island. Teamed with some plain silver jewellery and were on to a winner!

Sightseeing in Paris is exciting and there's much to see! That's why I chose this cute but casual mix of items. The white check dungarees are so sweet, but mixed with the Quilted Bomber and Black Flatforms creates a little bit of an edge. I added the Cobalt for a pop of one of the biggest colours this season. In addition the wrist strap makes it perfect for all the walking about! Get me to the Eiffel Tower! 

Thailand is one of the most sought after places for the party beach goer and that's why I was super excited to style this outfit. I have teamed this Lime Vest from Monki with some ole faithful denim shorts from Topshop. Paired with some tribal beauties in the form of this Zara Necklace and Topshop Backpack I am channeling my hippy vibe for the full Moon Party look. finished off with some Jellies with a slight heel, to ensure that I can be dancing all night long without feeling any pain...perfecto.

LOEWE AW13

Geometric patterns and panelling in luxurious leather in the form of tailored coats and knee length skirts makes this seasons collection one of my favourite from the Spanish fashion house. The detailing on each look  is brilliant and the collection works together so well. Again we see pops of colour in the form of bright orange and blue- wonderful.

Milan Fashion Week Round Up!

Etro AW13

Veronica Etro is wonderfully brilliant and this season was no exception. A Kaleidoscopic backdrop was the setting for her AW13 show. Beautifully constructed garments with patterns that resemble cathedrals in contrast to leather patchwork biker jackets and trousers created a bit of rock n roll to usually chic label.

Sportmax AW13

Blew again once again by Sportmax this season. Planning my winter wardrobe so far in advance seems such a crime, when we haven't even seen summer, but looking at sportmax i know why i do it. Chic silhouettes and tailoring alongside intricately detailed sheer dresses, with a splash of cobalt blue- the colour we have seen so much of over the past few weeks means i'm hoping winter will hurry up so I can get my hands on some of these beauties. Take a look at my favourite looks below!

Jil Sander AW13

Jil Sanders fall show echoed elegance, with a modern twist. Classic over the knee skirts were paired with panelled jackets and tops that were nipped in at the waist to add femininity to the boyish shapes. Coats were perfectly oversized as to not overshadow the small frame of the sleek haired models. Metallic accessories in the form of puritan shoes and oversized clutches finished of each look perfectly. The blue flippy skirt and orange oversized coat are on my wish list for AW13- what's on yours?

LFW: Highlights!

After a few days of lusting over a million and one things I'd love to be adding to my wardrobe come this Autumn/Winter, I only had chance to write about a few of the huge amount of shows....So I have decided to show a few more of my favourites from LFW!!

Please let me know yours!
