Summer Outfit Ideas

Hey guys sorry I haven't been on the blogging scene lately, I seem to drop in and out every so often because of work and the like. But I have been itching to write a blog about the pieces I'm going to feature today for a while. They have been on my "Summer Wish List' (mostly screen shots on my iPhone).

Heres a simple but chic way to work bold prints during the summer months whether you are travelling abroad or enjoying the wonderful British summer time! 

Firstly, this beaut white crop top by Pull&Bear, a brand I found on ASOS recently. 


I really like the structured look to the crop top and the little triangle cut out makes it stand out and gives you the opportunity to show of more of your gorgeous tan!

This absolutely fabulous bold print full of delicious-ness skirt is from H&M, their Trend collection is TO DIE FOR this summer! With so many interestingly unique pieces that you wouldn't really find anywhere else on the high street at such a reasonable price.


There is also a crop top with the same print for all you co-ord crazy folk out there! I just think it is a gorgeous classic style skirt that would flatter most body shapes. 

Now for my favourite bit...Accessories! 

I do love experimenting with accessories with outfits because I feel thats what totally defines it.

This LuLu Guinness is just FAN-tasitic (you'll get that pun in a sec). I think with the red print skirt it almost gives off a Spanish dancer vibe and when I saw this clutch it was a must have for this particular summer outfit idea.


Ahhh! Don't you just LOOOOVE IT! 

Finally a little pair of black strappys from Zara, with such a thin ankle strap it won't cut off your legs and make you look short, it will actually extend your legs as straps almost "wrap around" the foot instead of cutting it off. 



These little add ons will just give it that vava vooom you need for maybe a night time affair 

MAC Lipstick, I mean I am no make up expert but you really really can't go wrong with Russian Red MAC lipstick! 


Pull your hair up in a high messy bun and put on a pair of these honeys! 

... 



If only eh! A pair of Dior sunglasses! 

There will be many more of these blogs to come guys! Since I am preparing to head to Madrid for 3 weeks during summer to study of course outfit choices will be my main priority! So there would be a few little post purchase blogs, and if any of yous have been to Madrid let me know of super fashionable places I can visit!

Soo Delish!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while! Been so busy with work and uni, but thankfully that's university all finished for the summer so I'll be getting back to my weekly posts! 

As you may know from my personal social media sites I am going to Paris in July with my boyfriend. So trying to find outfits for our 3 night stay in Paris and our 2 night stay in Manchester is proving difficult since I want to buy about 100 different outfits and all with shoes to match! So every week I will post a Paris Wish List and maybe some information on what we will be doing in Paris, where we will be eating, shopping and having an amaaaaazing time! 

Also recently I found this beaut website called Yumi, that sell the sweetest little dresses perf for summer! 


Just like this flowery number! Which also comes in a dusty pink colour, but I do particularly love this blue its so on trend right now! and its down from £55 to £44 right now. 

Perfect for walking around Paris on a sunny day in July, don't yah think?

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
