Howdi peeps! 

Here's a little style post of my birthday outfit last week. As you can see I'm embracing the pastel trend with a little Hawaiian twist. A friend of mine (thank you Gabby!) lent me this gorgeous wooden necklace and I'm just in LOVE with it! It was the perfect accessory for our family dinner date at our favorite Mexican in Brighton, La Choza.

I've been wanting a pair of chunky white sandals for some time and unfortunately can't afford Vagabonds at the moment :( Fortunately for me though, New Look, have brought out their own range! So with birthday money in hand, I went and treated myself to a pair :) I think they will be getting a lot of wear this Summer as they go with EVERYTHING! So I'm sure you will be seeing them popping up in future outfit posts ;)

Big love,

George S/S14 Wish List

With Easter holidays in full swing and the weather getting warmer, I’m ready to shed my winter wardrobe and embrace spring! George have some wonderful items at the moment to keep you on trend and ALL at reasonable prices, which is perfect for keeping the purse strings tight.

Pastels are one of my favourite trends at the moment. I love these candy colours and George have some great looking items to help perfect this look. Here are my top 5 items from their current womenswear range. They have got the colours perfectly perfect. I especially love the pastel pink coat (take note, Husband). Ideal for this unpredictable weather and won't break the bank at the wonderful price of £28!

1. Woven Textured Coat £28

2. Mini Satchel £10

3. G21 Wave Knit Jumper £16

4. Crepe Pastel Green Top £10

5. Floral Embroidered Ballet Shoes £10

 

Recently I've been letting my Boho side run wild! The following 5 items are perfect for getting this classic look right. I have a big vintage floppy hat which will be just right to finish off this look, don’t you think? Boho is a great, easy look for summer and just perfect for festival season!

1.  Black Round Sunglasses  £3.50

2. Rose Printed Jumpsuit £18

3. G21 Flocked Animal Print Kimono £16

4. Gladiator Wedge Heels £14

5. Beaded Chain Tassel Necklace £8

My star buy out of this selection would have to be the black flocked kimono. Not only would it look amazing with the rose print jumpsuit but, also super cute when teamed with denim shorts! And hey, who doesn't love a bit of fringing?!

So there you have it. What's on the top of your wish list this season?

LFWeekend: Pretty in Pink Trend

So. Guess who got in the press pit at London Fashion Weekend's Trend Show on Saturday? Yep. Me! Park Cameras offered 30 lucky people the opportunity to take their photographic weapon of choice and snap away at the wonderful trends that we have to look forward to this Autumn and Winter. This is my second experience in a press pit and was glad that I decided to bring two lenses. With just my 18mm I would've felt most inadequate! I managed to get some good shots though and I'm pretty pleased with the results.

London Fashion Weekend took place at the same place as London Fashion Week, Somerset House. Even though London Fashion Week has finished and moved on to Milan, The British Fashion Council, re-opens the catwalk to the public and you get to see the creme de la creme and get your hands on some amazing designer clothes at almost half the price.

The show comprised of four trends. In the first of four posts covering my exploits at the event, I present to you the first Trend, curated by Pandora Lennard, Pretty in Pink. Lennard is a London based Stylist and Fashion Consultant who expertly styled this key look, which featured heavily in Antipodium, John Rocha, PPQ, Roksanda Ilincic and Tata Naka's AW catwalks. The styling was perfect and I loved how she teamed metallic socks with candyfloss pink which were also combined with a wide range of fabrics from sheer to textual. Still keeping it girly but with more of an edge.

Get inspired and say hello to the Pretty in Pink trend...

What I Wore: Blustery walk on Dunstable Downs

I am wearing

H&M leather skirt // Re-worked Vintage tux shirt // Kate & Aud necklace 

Vintage faux fur coat // Vintage velvet turban // Necktie made by myself

Underground creepers // Matalan bird print scarf

We spent our Christmas in Mr D's hometown, Dunstable, a quiet market town in Bedforshire. It's been hit quite badly by the recession and there are closed down shops up and down the high street. You can almost imagine tumble weed rolling down the high street, like in an old Western, it's that quiet. Dunstable may have lost its trade but it still has one little gem. 

One sunny but blustery morning, after having several days of rain, Mr D Snr, Molly, myself and a four legged friend went for a walk over Dunstable Downs, part of the Chilterns which covers an area of 322 square miles stretching from Bedfordshire to Oxfordshire. Husband grew up playing in these hills and it was lovely to see Molly enjoying them too! The views are breathtaking up there and it was a perfect opportunity to take some photos of one of the new outfits I got for Christmas. I have wanted a new leather skirt for a while and was really excited to receive this pastel pink leather skirt from H&M. My scarf and necklace were also Christmas gifts and all went perfectly with a white tux shirt I had re-worked.  

I've a feeling this skirt will be making an appearance quite a lot in 2013. I was also given a pastel blue cat print shirt from River Island for Christmas which will go perfectly with this skirt (can be seen pictured in my last post). I haven't had a chance to wear it yet but as soon as I have an opportunity I will take photos. 

Ta ta!
