What A Girl Wants- September

Loafers- 3.1 Phillip Lim via Avenue 32 £470

Necklace- Topshop £17.50

Notebook- Smythson £110 

Angora Knitted Jumper- Topshop £68

Leather Skirt- Zara £79.99

What a girl wants, what a girl needs was a hit for Christina and these beauties are on my hit list this month. Some are well out of reach, whereas some could be working their way into my wardrobe if I spend my money right this month. The winner on here for me has to be the Philip Lim Loafers, what I would do for those beauties, but at £470 they wont be making it into my wardrobe! So please please let me know if you spot anything similar on the high street. The Smythson notebook is beautifully finished with a leather sleeve, perfect for some notes on LFW, wouldn't you say? The necklace from Topshop and Skirt from Zara are unbelievable so I'll definitely be looking into gaining those this month. At the moment I'm feeling everything and anything related to mohair so this pastel blue cropped jumper is bloody perfect.

Are you lusting for anything this month?

Dungarees- Topshop (no longer online)

Shoes- Urban Outfitters (old, similar here)

Cropped Top- (Ebay)
Sunglasses- Primark (similar here)

This is one of my absolute favourite buys of the year so far. Bought just before my jolly holiday with mama bear. It is quite a statement piece, but I've actually found it is really easy to wear. This look was for a day in the office. While the weather's been rather pleasant and not piping hot, it's the perfect thing to throw on, especially if you want to catch someone's eye! Topshop are of course the masters behind this beauty. Finished off with my lattice block heel sandals from Urban Outfitters and a simple cropped top and I'm done.

What do y'all think? Leave me your links and comments :)

To make this a little more acceptable I've binned the 50deniers and bared all. Teamed with my zara sale vest and Chelsea boots its perfect for a casual summers day in the office. The sun is going to keep on basking and so am I.

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?

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?

If you're like me and the majority of others in the UK, you'll also love a bit of summer, when we get it that is. What better way to celebrate this than in the form of a new summer wardrobe?!! In honour of this I wanted to share with you my favourite summer look of the season- The Co-Ord or 2 Piece to you and me.

These are a few of my favourite 2 pieces at the moment. I particularly love the ISWAI tailored suit, I mean how amazing for summer is this? So so cute and at a great price! I also love the RI Kaleidoscope set, the pattern is so pretty and I love the fit of the trousers!!! What do you think of them? Is there anything you want to get your hands on?

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.

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!

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.

What A Girl Wants- April

Hello! So I know it's been a while, please don't think I've forgotten about the wonderful world of blogging I simply haven't had that much to say. I've had a busy week with work and family commitments and haven't had time to think. Anyhow, now I do! I want to share with you a few little numbers I want to be getting my hands on this month.

This cute Co-ord from Topshop is just what I've been looking for. Great together and also really good as separate pieces...add a high neck black top to the skirt and hey presto! The shirt would also look great with some simple black jeans like the ripped knee ones I've also added to my want list this month. You can find these as well as the sunglasses here at Topshop.

I'm also loving cobalt at the minute and this satchel is super cute to add a little colour to any Monochrome/Sports Luxe outfit. Those Dungarees- Oh my so so cute, I'll definitely be adding these to my wardrobe! Finally the boyfriend coat. This needs no explaining, I mean it's a classic right?!

Let me know what you think of my What I Want Today list this month! What's on your Wish List right now?

OOTD#2- JW Anderson x Topshop

So how has everybody's week been? I must say I have had a really stressful week, so much going on at work with Trend Presentations and Designer Meetings in addition I've been trying to get fit! Such a hard life I know. Anyway I've been trying to record my day to day outfits to share with all you lovely people and here is my latest. I went shopping today and although the snow is out in full force and I would really liked to off wrapped up indoors, I couldn't help but put on one of my favourite tee's. I bought this wonderful quilted paisley top from the JW Anderson x Topshop Collection and I must say it's been one of my favourite purchases this year. Its a great buy- on trend and it can literally be worn in so many ways! What do you think of it?

Today I paired it with my faithful leather skirt from Topshop and a cute cropped white shirt that I bought last summer from Forever 21. Although the weather is dreadful I'm kind of trying to get in the Spring spirit and so I added a Pop of colour with a lovely yellow leather clutch bag from Jasper Conran at Debenhams.

Leather Skirt- Topshop

White Shirt- Forever 21

LFW: Day 2

Sunday the 17th was the day I had been waiting for after scanning over the LFW schedule a few days ago. Topshop Unique, Mary Katranzou, Richard Nicoll, Nicole Farhi were all on for today and they were all worth the wait. The weather was beautiful and so was the FROW, with the likes of Pixie Geldof, Kate Bosworth, Nicola Roberts all in tow it was hard not to feel the anticipation of the fashion forward collections waiting to parade the catwalks.

Topshop Unique: AW 13

Every season we see a new Topshop Show Space unveiled at Fashion Week. This time is was the chance for the Tate Modern to shine. The concrete background was perfect for the boyish charm we see so often during the Topshop Unique shows.

The show began with model of the moment Cara Delevingne in a edgy oversized long-line bomber jacket married with a beautiful patent leather skirt and cute knitted crop top. Models outfitted in black outwear with hints of blood red followed, whilst heavy knits with softer flippy skirts showed a juxtaposition in texture. This soon turned to soft pretty pink hues, for sating dresses and androgynous tailoring.

Topshop Unique doing what they do best, but with a bit more edge and a little hint of glamour. One of My Favourite Shows so far this season, take a look at my favourite looks below;

Scrolling through blog after blog and reading through magazine after magazine certainly takes it toll on my disappearing bank balance.

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!
