5 Summer Must Haves!

1. ORANGE & LIME GREEN (....NOT TOGETHER)

2. DISTRESSED DENIM

3. POWERFUL BLAZORS

4. NATURAL BEACH BABY HAIR

5. CUTE SHOES

Summer is EVERYONES favourite time of the year.... and if its not your favourite time of the year, well, then you are mentally retarded. The sunshine makes everyone happy... and thats a fact! It releases some chemicals and vitamins and all that shiz... so its way healthy.

Sorry I havent posted in a while, I have been busy with work and putting together a few projects, I also met someone that I really like spending time with (cringe, i know) :) I have put a post together that just details some of the main things that I will be looking to purchase this summer, and some bits I already have.

1. Orange and Lime Green.

I believe these will be the colours of the season. This seasons trends are all a bit whacky.... Very 80's. Infact heres a photo of me and my best friend Lauren going to an 80's night a couple of weeks ago, not really that different from how we dress now.

These particular colours are great to jazz up any boring outfit with something minimal like a necklace or chunky wedged shoes.

Topshop - Team with a pair of tailored trousers

Topshop - adding a pop of colour to any outfit

ASOS - £25 

ASOS - Very 80's, pair with modern tailoring or  a midi skirt


2. Distressed Denim

I have seen a lot of this lately. And have recently decided to rip up a pair of my old jeans. All you need to do is put a few small cuts in them with a pair of scissors, to roughen them up use a cheese grater and strech them with your hands. This gives them the most natural look. If you dont wish you DIY  heres a few i found below.

ASOS - low rise skinnys, subtle ripping

ASOS - boyfriend style distressed denim

LEVIS - £110

3. Powerful Blazors

Modern tailoring has been HUGE this past year. Lately I have been seeing floral blazors and matching block coloured two piece suits (this in orange looks great) Modern tailoring is so versitile, tailored trousers can be worn in the day with a simple black or white T and can been worn out with a pair of strappy sandles. It is also very suitable for the work place, so make your colleagues jealous! Modern tailoring works best in bold statement colours, white is very on trend right now and makes any outfit look more sleek and stylish, here are my favourite picks from Miss Guided.

Miss Guided - £7.99

Co-Ordinates are my favourite. I love this floral piece

Miss Guided - Pastels 

Miss Guided - £17.99


4. Natural Beach Baby Hair

Summer is all about tanned skinned and beachy waved hair. Natural tones and colours are so on trend right now. See below for some cool hairstyle ideas.

Ombre works for all hair tones but works best with a natural wave
Lauren Conrad - My style inspiration. Every time i see a picture of her I get incredibly jealous.

Conrad works her ombre every time with natural waves and a simple plait




5. Cute Shoes

Here are my favourite picks from ASOS this spring / summer
Topshop - £45

Topshop - Great with a summer dress and denim jacket

Topshop - Wedges are for any occasion

ASOS - £22

Enjoy the sunshine.
Love and Peace
