Trend #15: Under the palm tree

Hello everyone,
I'm giving myself a revision break and writing a little trends post :)
 Palm print has been everywhere at the lately, and I think it really is is the perfect alternative to florals. There is something really fresh and summery about all these pieces so you're bound to like at least one!

River Island crop top//Oasis green romper // Topshop skate shoes

Let's kick things of with the shoes; I'm obsessed with this style and I think the bright print on this pair is a really fun take on the tropical and skate shoe trend. These would look equally lovely with a pair of jeans as they would with a pretty white dress (plus they've been reduced to just £15!) The dress above is the perfect shape if you want to keep things casual, and the colour combination of blue and silver keeps the print subtle too, I imagine it would look lovely with a pair of wedges and a floppy black hat. The two tops above look like summer staples to me; how perfect would they be with a black maxi? The little crop top in the corner has to be my favourite item of all, I love the fact that the palms are more like a silhouette, and the white and baby blue is so pretty. Finally we have a playsuit, the most palm-y of them all!

Are you a fan of this trend? Which is your favourite piece?

Trend #12: Gingham girl.

Hello everyone, 

Tartan , checks and gingham are prints I have loved for the longest time now. Personally, I associate gingham with my little school sundresses and scrunchies we used to wear in the summer. Ah, sweet nostalgia. 

It is safe to say that gingham has been updated since my playground days; it is chic and understated- and the high-street is loving it monochrome.

I'm sure anyone with Instagram is full acquainted with that skirt, Topshop of course have been at the fore front of this trend, and I'm sure it has all stemmed from this. I love the brushed look to the fabric, and I'm sure it would look perfect with a pink fluffy cropped jumper, but equally so with bold contrasting colours like mint or coral (perfect for the transition into spring I must add) The scarf is an easy way to add a little bit of this trend into an outfit, it would also look adorable tied around a handbag. The sleeveless top has a usual raised, 3D like texture which I think is so different and really adds a lot to an otherwise very basic piece. If you did want to make more of an impact, these trousers will get you noticed! The high-waisted style is supper flattering on all body shapes as well. Finally the sweat-shirt and tee- real timeless staples, if only I had the money to add all of these things to my wardrobe!

In other new, I found out I got forty out of forty in my English Wilfred Owen CASS, so I'm really chuffed about that :) Also, I am honestly so sick of rain now its rather ridiculous , my craving for summer is becoming an obsession!
