Spring Fashion

 

 Blue shirt: Hawes & Curtis  |  Sandals: Topshop  |  Floral trousers: Morgan  |  Hat: Forever 21  |  Satchel: Accessorize

The sun in shining here in London and I was inspired to create a pretty spring look. Have you seen the new season accessorise bags? Gosh the window display is so so pretty and beautifully merchandised! I chose this sweet coral satchel to pair with a simple blue shirt from Hawes & Curtis and these stunning floral trousers (on sale in House of Fraser atm!) and the effortless black Topshop sandals complete the look. A perfect little outfit for a day in the park, which is where I spend most of my weekends nowadays! Who doesn't love a picnic? :) 

            

London Retro Glasses

London Retro’s new autumn/winter eyewear collection takes its inspiration from one of London’s most iconic landmarks, the London Underground. Available exclusively from MyOptique.com, the collection is titled Metropolitan, with each style named after an iconic London tube line or station. It provides a modern look backwards, combining retro shapes with the season’s key colour and fabrication trends. Mirroring a trend seen on the catwalks at Chanel, Miu Miu and Dior, the collection features thinner acetates than previously. Matt finishes reflect the growing influence of texture, while subtle colourways like muted pinks are introduced for the first time. The collection also features more metal frames than previously.

There are 17 styles, each in two colourways, all priced at £79, available from September. At the same time new colours have been added to the seven best selling styles in the range.

These ones, featured on my gorgeous boyfriend Benjamin are the 'Portland' style. I think glasses can be totally sexy on a guy when done right and we think these ones are really cool. They are an awesome retro shape and the black rim makes them really 'geek chic'. I think he looks great in them, what do you think? :)



            

Tranquility Necklace

Necklace: Happiness Boutique  |  Crop top: New Look (last year)  |  Skirt: H&M (last year)  |  Boots: Fashion Union

In love with this necklace from Happiness Boutique! It's the perfect amount of bling :) Oh and life update! I have a full time job again! I'm a barista/assistant baker now and I love it! Hence the non editing of these pics, I'm sooo tired lol. I can only take pics of myself at the weekends now too, not that I could before as I no longer have a driveway or hallway - using a tripod and self timer on my street would be sooo dodgy! We just used ben's phone for the pics whilst exploring London... FUNDAY SUNDAY! They are different from my old photo's, but I think it makes my outfits more genuine cause it's stuff I'm actually wearing, instead of me just dressing up and doing a mass photoshoot! It's a heck of a lot easier for me too! :) Hope you all had a good weekend xx



            

Online Shopping Tips

So us fashion bloggers all have one thing in common... we are addicted to online shopping! I am always creating wishlist style posts of items I want to buy (above are a few of my favourite things at the moment!) I also link every item I wear on my blog so you guys can find it, and I am always tempted by what other bloggers wear and link to also. How many of you have bought something online that you've seen on your fave fashion blogger? I know I have! It's so convenient and fun, and who doesn't like receiving parcels in the post!

With the expanse of online shops though, there are always going to be people trying to exploit us and our obsession with online shopping to steal our money through various scams and illegitimate websites. Cyber Street Wise has created an interactive street where you can enter various buildings with different content all based around online safety for different niches and areas. Such as how to create a strong password, how to keep your computer healthy as well as how to shop safely online.

It is important to stay safe online, so I suggest checking it out, it's easy and interactive and you may learn something you'd never even thought about before!
