The Spring Edit '19

Although the current grey skies are saying the opposite, British summer time begins next Sunday! The warmer temperatures and, hopefully, sunny weather is on its way and what better way to speed up the process than lifting the mood with a transformation of your wardrobe into a spring wonderland?

I have whittled down some of my favourite pieces that I've found for six different trends this upcoming season that will have you dreaming of the sunnier days. Enjoy!

Feminine Florals

ASOS DESIGN Wrap double layer mini dress in ditsy floral print with belt - Asos.com - £32.00

Florals are known for making an appearance at this type of year but this year they will be out in full force. Prints in general going to be a bit hit of Spring and Summer 2019. In terms of colour, pastels are again hitting the big time on both the runways and on the high street. This mint green dress is absolutely gorgeous and the belt complement the dress and the figure.

Acid Wash

Bleach Acid Wash Mom Jeans - Topshop - £40.00 (available in regular, tall and petite)

The 90s trend is back in full force this season and acid wash denim is what is currently gracing the stores. This light wash is perfect for the upcoming season and paired with a cute simple logo tee and trainers, you are ready for Spring. The mom jean fit is also a comfortable and casual way to wear this denim. You can also style these up with a lace (another big trend for SS19) bodysuit and heels for the perfect stylish evening wear.

Walking on Sunshine

Yellow Paperbag Waist Shorts - £32.00 / Yellow Cropped Denim Jacket - £48.00 - both River Island

What colour do we think of when someone mentions spring.... Yellow of course! This beautiful two piece from River Island just screams SS19! The cute belt detailing makes it a perfect fit and the jacket will compliment those breezier evenings we tend to get in the Spring. Pair this with a pair of trainers for daytime or heels for a more dressed up look.

Utility

Khaki Belted Utility Jacket - New Look - £29.99

This trend has never really gone out of fashion to be honest, has it? The utility style offers a casual and stylish look and can be astyled in the form of a boilersuit or added to any outfit to give it a 'utility' edge with a jacket like this khaki green belted one from one of my favourite stores, New Look! Wear this over a dress or style with a pair of skinny jeans for a more casual look!

Into the Wild

Camel Dalmatian Spot Print Midi Slip Skirt - Missguided - £18.00

Animal prints have been everywhere recently and SS19 is going to show it off even more! This style can be dressed up or down for the season and can be even added to an outfit in the form of accessories. This beautiful midi slip skirt is perfect for daytime, styled with a pair of white trainers or styled with black heels and a bodysuit for that wild evening look! 

Rose Tint

I Be-leaf in You Floral Maxi Dress - Nasty Gal - £39.00

Is it even spring if we don't add a bit of pink to our wardrobes? Pink can be worn in the form of neon (another huge trend at the moment) or in the form of muted dusky pink which gives off the rose tint vibe! This gorgeous dress from Nasty Gal gives a boho style look and can be paired with a pair of boots, sandals or heels depending on the occasion. Styled with accessories like a cute belt or necklaces really compliments the look and will make sure you are SS19 ready!

If any, which of these trends do you think you will be sporting this spring? What are the trends you are most looking forward to this season?

Sunday Funday

What a beautiful day! Blue skies and Sunshine. Spring is fast approaching!

Today's post is a style one. I have brought a bit of Spring into my outfit with a splash of pink in my cropped jumper, yes cropped in March! I got my jumper from I Saw It First and I paired it with one of my favourite pieces from the past season - my paperbag waist leather look shorts from ASOS. These shorts have been a staple in my wardrobe since purchasing them back in January and I have styled for daytime - like today's post - and for an evening look with a leopard print shirt and thigh high boots. But for today, I have teamed them with black tights (Primark) and my buckled biker boots (New Look) for a stylish, but practical, everyday look. These boots are actually surprisingly a lot comfier than they look too!

Hope everyone has a fab Sunday!

London Fashion Weekend

If i've learnt anything over the past few days, its definitely that I need to enter more competitions! I won two competitions that Very.co.uk hosted on twitter last year and on Tuesday, I found out I had won my first one of 2016 which was the chance to go to London Fashion Weekend = every fashion lovers dream.

I have never attended fashion week (or weekend) before so having the chance to go on Saturday for the first time was nothing short of amazing. I went along with my sister, Megan and we had the best day ever! As two fashionistas we were living the dream being surrounded by beautiful clothes, makeup, hair products and more beautiful clothes!

We set off at one and caught the train into town. After having a spot of lunch we made our way
to the Saatchi Gallery. There was a range of gallery rooms with collections by different designers including Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen and Burberry. Two words: Fashion heaven!

Although LFW is mainly about clothes, style and fashion, beauty stills plays a big part in the fashion industry. Maybelline was one of the beauty brands that attended LFW this season. They were offering makeovers and even had a photobooth where you could put on your best model pose - obviously we had to have a go! I bought a few products from the makeup stand as Maybelline is by far one of my favourite high street affordable makeup brands.

The LFW trend show was partnered with Very Exclusive (an online shopping destination) and brought the key trends of SS16 to the catwalk. The trends that were showcased included Americana, Beautiful Botanicals, Pop Art Brights and New Romance.

Americana

This trend was dominated by bold stars and stripes in the USA colours red, white and blue.

Beautiful Botanicals

This trend is bringing floral prints back in a big way for the upcoming season.

Pop Art Brights

This trend saw the models dressed head-to-toe in bold colour and this also included the makeup - bold eye and lip looks.

New Romance

This trend will see us embrace our inner romance with delicate feminine looks in the prettiest of pastel shades. This is the trends of ruffles, lace and silk.

How pretty is the rose gold satchel on the top row next to the trainers!?!

What a fantastic day. Having had my first taste of LFW, I am definitely hoping to attend in September!

Have you attended LFW? Or any other fashion week across the globe?

New Look Spring Edit | Tops and Jumpers

March is here (how fast is this year going?!) which means the start of spring is only a few weeks away! And yep, a new season calls for a wishlist! It's time to ditch the winter clothing and bring out more lighter and cooler clothing - although with our unpredictable British weather we may still need the odd jumper or two in our wardrobes which is why in this spring edition of a wishlist, I have included two jumpers. All of the items in this wishlist are from New Look as it is one of my favourite high street shops for clothing (and accessories, bags, shoes..) Enjoy!
