I haven't done one of these blogs before but I kinda want to give my blog a more personal feel into my life too,so hopefully I dont bore you too much with it all. 

I'll start with what I bought, from H&M (of course with my amaazing staff discount) 

These beauties.... 

Only £29.99 and are real suede, they are sooo super comfy too.

Everyone meet Viv.... 

And this is how he gave me it on the night before valentines day!

Little pieces of happiness!

Since it's such a horrid day today I thought id bring you all a little piece of happiness that you could add to your spring (if we can even call it that) wardrobe. 

A while ago a lovely friend of mine told me all about this website that makes gorgeous handcrafted locally produced pieces of jewellery. 

Dogeared was created in 1991in Souther California. So even though we don't get much sun here, who says we can't get it delivered right to our doors and wear it everyday!

I though i'd just pick out a few of my favourite pieces, not just from the new February Collection but their classic pieces too. 

What I love most about these necklaces is not just the gorgeous dainty pieces but also the messages that you can give with the gift, I do love the significance of this little one. 

Giving 100 wishes to someone is just so cute. 

I really love the design of this necklace I think it would sit beautifully with any outfit. 

And I'm a big believer in karma!

This necklace is from there  February Collection, it is 18K gold. So if you feel like splashing out a bit i'd say definitely go for this one. 

Of course I would pick one with a skull on it! I've been dying for this bracelet for ages now, again would match almost everything and it is in fact gold dipped! Even better. 

This little beaut is "packed with positive energy" and the coral colour of the stone keeps you bang on trend! There are a few pieces from the "happy gem" collection that would suit different people, its well worth a look.

All these and more are available right now on dogeared.com and also for faster delivery some of their collection is also available on ASOS!

Hey guys as a little celebration for the new look of Style Addict I have decided to run a little competition. What I want you guys to do is put together an outfit that incorporates a trend that I have spoken about in the S/S Trend Diaries. 

So either - 90's revival, Global Traveller, Modern Romance or Nature Girl.

An example of what I've done (you have probably seen it on Facebook already)

ASOS Wish List

Just a little quick note of what I have popped on my wish list until pay day. 

Im crazy loving chockers atm, this one especially from ASOS, would be perfect for day and night. 

And to tie in with the 90's Revival Trend  

Again with these jeans! There are so many different styles of these jeans on ASOS for all different styles, whether you want light or dark, faded or acid washed! ALL with rips! Whats not to love? 

The style of these shoes are my absolute favourite for this season and a similar pair on my Valentines day segment. And these are actually a bit cheaper than the Office ones but equally as fab!

Trend Diary S/S 14 - Global Traveller

My final Trend Diary post! Hopefully you've enjoyed them and I've made them as interesting as I could. Our last ket trend for this seasons is Global Traveller. Think tribal, aztec prints together! Mixed animal prints, flowing fabric, fringing, beads and tassels. Probably the simplest was to describe this trend. 

There is also a strong connection with the macro trend Next Nature for this season,  this is super key for high summer and festival season. 

This little beaut paring is from New Look, caring on the trend of matching top and bottom pieces instead of clashing still totally works with these also harem/pyjama style pants and cute flawy crop top. I feel that New Look always performs highly in the festival style trends! 

I love love love this beautiful flowing maxi from H&M, the almost minty/limey green colour is totally eye popping. Would definitely work on holiday, maybe not so much for T in the Park i think? 

This lovely little sheen t-shirt dress from Urban Outfitters is gorgeous, I love the print and colour of the printed panels, would definitely wear during festival season, with knee high socks and wellies maybe even a flowery headband and loose curls! 

These are my two favourite pieces of this trend, still loving tailoring and geometric cuts! And this gorgey little cropped jacket from Matalan (Yeah I know!! Such a buy) would look perfect with a loose fitting white jumpsuit, big shades and some tribal jewellery! 

With the skirt (from Topshop) just screams this trend with the classing prints and earthy colours, perfect for both high summer and festivals! 

As for accessories this could be a whole segment on its own! There is soo much to choose from! 

These are my four favourite accessories from this trend, I could have picked loads more but thought i should limit to my absolute favs! 

Bag - New Look 

Shoes - Topshop 

Hat and Necklace - Primark 

Hope you guys enjoyed the Trend Diary for S/S 14. I will hopefully be posting nearer the time my take on each of these trends throughout Spring and Summer. 

Love Yahs x

Trend Diary S/S 14 - 90's Revival

This is my second last trend from the S/S 14 Trend Diary, this particular one has to be my fav! The simplicity of this trend highlights the true fashion from the 90's...the simple cuts, basic colours, logo clad t-shirts and my all time favourite piece the slip dress, completely effortless look and 100% sexy. 

I definitely believe that this could be a trend for all ages, styles and occasions from office to night time looks. Although most pieces are back with a modern twist there is a few golden oldies that I can't wait to be back on the high street. Such as the jelly shoe, platform wedge, heeled sandals with chunky retro wedges! Beyond excited! 

90's Revival 

Mango do this trend so well and what I love most about this look is the simplicity, which almost leaves you to dress it up to your own style or leave as it is for a bang on season trend statement! From Mango

As I said previously I love a slip dress, so effortless and easy to wear on a night out, or as I have seen recently to dress down with a cosy knit and tights..both equally as gorgeous. This little beauty is from Oasis and does look like it has just sneaked out of your lingerie drawer to make a guest appearance at your next cocktail party! IN LOVE! Paired with nude strappy heels for 100% impact. From Oasis 

Im a sucker for a printed T of any kind and as brand culture grew during the nineties why wouldn't you want a T-Shirt with your favourite frizzy drink label all over it! Remember the Spice Girls 'pepsi' outfits...lets just say we are channeling that this season! It is the 90's after all,  this cute little top is from Primark. 

And for anyone that so happened to miss the Spice Girls moment I was talking about its this! 

I mean...do I need to say a thing? 

And I know I usually only choose two favourite pieces but I couldn't help myself this time! So there's three! 

These are my three favourite pieces on the high street of the 90's revival trend! The skirt is from Miss Selfridge, the shorts from M&S and the sweatshirt from River Island. 

My four favourite accessories of this trend!

Hope you enjoyed this Trend Diary

Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

This is just a little piece about the outfit I'm thinking about for valentines day celebrations next week, something not too OTT. Casual and very on trend!

I AM OBSESSED (sounding like Kelly Osborn on Fashion Police) with the ripped jean craze atm, needing these beauties in my wardrobe. There from ASOS and only £32! Suchh a steal!? - Link Here!

I need this...mine mine mine mine mine! Sooo high fashion mirroring the likes of the printed sweats from Givenchy etc. Love the fashion sketch print just adds extra chic! 
Très Magnifique!

£19.99 - Zara - Link Here!

I'm dying for a pair of shoes in this style! And after weeks of looking for a pair in black I found these in Office for £65, which is a little pricey but i think you would get a lot of wear out of these! - Link Here!

This one is more a pipeline dream then an actual product that I'd be able to buy for Vday (unless I won the lottery) I do looooove this Micheal Kors bag, the stand out colour is perfect to jazzy up a plain outfit! And its all yours for only £310! - Link Here!

And finally some bling! This chunky chain bracelet comes in at about £50 but sooooo worth it, would match everything! Already thought about 5 different outfits I could wear it with! - Link Here! 

Hope you enjoy this look!

Trend Diary S/S 14 - Nature Girl

Soo boho chic this week! Think fringing, scarf prints, paisleys, romantic florals, silk, flowing maxis, denim, tassels..all wrapped in this little bundle of lovelyness! Pull out those kimono jackets girls they are not going anywhere fast! 

Nature Girl 

I'll try and keep it as short and sweet as last time! 

As I began to research this trend I'm seeing a lot of last years trends creep up again, denim hot pants are back, just added some lace panelling and cut outs, round lens sunglasses, and tan fringe bags (love love love them!!) 

Firstly, if anyone is totally in love with this trend then New Look is definitely the place to be, there are hundreds of styles to chose from you'll be ready to hit any festival. 

This lovely little get up is from New Look. Which is soo festival ready, the fringe detail is perfect, pairing with the high waisted denim hot pants knocks this one out the park (T in the Park maybe?). 

This oversized kimono/poncho style is gorgeous! I love navy so this is a totally win win for me, the added pom-pom style fringing with the over the knee white boots, means you'll be totally rocking the 1970's look. From H&M 

I am obsessed with jumpsuits now, whether black, printed, silk, cotton and in this beautiful peachy colour. With the paisley print kimono draped over, loving this look! 

Well done Warehouse!!  

These are my two favourite pieces from this trend, the leather jacket from River Island and the denim hot pants from New Look ( a definite winner in this trend). Both easily versatile and work all the way through to winter. 

  

And here's a few add-ons again, to up-date your accessory collection to keep on this fab trend!

Fringe Bag - Kurt Geiger

Shoes - Office
