Summer Staple

Dear Readers,

I know this post is long overdue as I have not kept to my 'every Wednesday' rule, where I always post a new feature weekly; so for any of you organised readers out there I am very, very sorry! But, as I always like to think, 'its better late than never'! Anyways, onto the important stuff now... So, I thought I would talk to you all about my new style LOVE of the week, or even the month! It has to be high-waisted pastel jeans. Many of you trendy people out there may be cursing me right now, saying how this is such a simple and staple item that everybody already has; however, for those of you who don't own a pair, I am going to convert you and you will buy them (I hope)!

I first came across my favourite pair in Topshop (of course!), as I always find that their jeans fit really nicely and comfortably on my rather short legs.. My favourite pair out of the Topshop collection has to be the 'Moto Pale Pink Joni Jeans'. These jeans are extremely flattering for those of you with enviably small waists, however, for those with larger hips (like me urhh) these are uber concealing and are very good at tricking the eye. Not only do they sit at the perfect area on your body, but they also provide an optical illusion by elongating your legs. The pale pink colour is just perfect for summer, and is a little more fun than the bog-standard pair of white jeans. In an ideal world I would co-ordinate these with a little cropped crotchet vest, possibly white, or even combine it with a loose fitting and dark shirt; as this will really complement the tightness and subtle colour of the jeans, as well as making your legs look lovely and slim.
At £36 I think this pair, and others like it, are a bargain and a must-have for summer! So, if you are also living in England and are getting bored of still trudging round in your black jeans and a hoodie, just hoping for the sun to come out, how about a compromise with these jeans?!

I hope I have persuaded you all to grab yourselves a pair! I have left the link below to the main website. Please leave me a comment below to let me know what you think + whether you have been persuaded!

Have a lovely weekend, dear readers.

Lots of love,

PS. A brief little note... In the very near future I am planning to upload my own 'Outfit of the Day' with pictures etc and I would like to know whether this is something you would all like to see/read about?! Let me know, by leaving a comment, if you would!

Summer 'pop' colour jackets

Dear Readers,

Although Summer is already upon us, for those living in England it is not quite the 'summer' and 'sun' that other places have. So all you fellow citizens of the UK will know exactly how I feel when I say it is still necessary for the occasional jumper or jacket (or even both), despite the season. Although many would think its' ever so slightly strange to be wrapped up in a jacket in summer, hopefully you will be converted when I give you a taster of these trending colour 'pop' jackets (as I like to call them!) 
I am a confessed Topshop-aholic and when I came across their new range of 'Notch Neck' Jackets with  their beautiful cut around the neck and their eye-catching colour, I just had to have one. My favourite, out of all of the Topshop collection is the rather daring 'Fluro Pink' colour. What I loved the most about this jacket after my purchase of it, was the fantastic tailoring. For £55 I found this rather a bargain as not only have I worn it with high waisted black skinny jeans, in order to smarten up a night-time outfit, but I've also worn it with a floaty white chiffon dress as a day outfit. The cut around the neck was very flattering and really helps to define your face and jaw. Not only this, but the jacket was very light in weight meaning that it did not feel like I was layering upon layers, but it just added quite a nice touch and also a little 'pop' of colour to brighten the outfit! 

However, I've realised many of you may not feel quite so brave on an average weekday to wear such a bright colour, and so I've found another favourite (again from my beloved Topshop) for the summer season. This jacket has a very different cut from the previous, in that it has less definition around the face and neck, but rather hangs a bit more loosely. But I simply fell in love with the embellishment and the beautiful beading patterns. Also, this 'Cropped Beaded' jacket means it has a good length for emphasising the waist and also for those high-waisted skirts, trousers and shorts that many of you, I am sure, love to wear. However, for £95 it is quite a leap up in price from the previous jacket, but, did I mention that it co-ords with matching shorts? This whole ensemble is just perfect for summer and is bang on trend at the moment. Styled with a cute collared white shirt and cut-out black boots, this is just the ticket!

Hopefully I've persuaded you all to brave a summer 'pop' jacket this season and possibly a matching ensemble?! If I have, please leave me a comment below to let me know what you thought! Also, if any of you have any suggestions or requests for a next blog post please let me know as I love to be inspired!

Anyhow,
see you next time.

Happy Summer shopping!


Lots of love,
