Trend #14: `Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking`

Hello everyone, 

You have no idea how long I have been waiting to quote this The Devil wears Prada phrase! This really is a `Florals? For Spring?` post (sorry Miranda Priestly) simply because this trend does come around every spring with out fail. I can't say I'm complaining!

First off the shoes. Oh the shoes. I can't decide which I love more; the super sophisticated Ted Baker heels or the stunning Steve Maddens. I now feel I need them both. Shoes are a fab way to inject a little bit of this trend into your wardrobe if you're not a fan of the whole all over florals thing. The Topshop dress caught my eye as soon as I saw it. I think the colour palette is a really different, fun take on this trend. The skort combines two trends in one, I love the the tropical feel it has! The top would look gorgeous with a pair of jeans or a denim skirt. I don't think it would look out of place in an autumnal outfit either. The playsuit is a classic statement piece; perfect for those who can't get enough of florals!

Charity shop finds #2.

Hello everyone, 

Over half term I did a spot of charity shopping, which is fast becoming one of my favorite things to do; ambling around somewhere quaint, chatting away to good company, helping worthy causes and then topping it all of with a tea stop- sound good to you?

I'll start with my two cheat items, not from a charity shop but two pretty not to share! 

First up is this Paris poster, I was lured in by the vintage feel and goregous illustration. I'm sure you don't need to hear it again, but I am dying to visit  Paris, everything about it just calls to me! This was only £3.75 from an amazing independent shop The Nest at No.9, I literally want everything in there. Keeping with the French theme for a second; I got an A in my last french speaking exam! I was totally shocked considering last time I did it I only achieved a C, so chuffed is not even the word! 

The other item I picked up was this adorable tea light holder. I am partial to a candle or two, and this one was just to pretty to leave on the shelf. This was a snip at just £2.50 as well. 

Next is something a bit weird top get excited about, put I finally bought a pin board! I have wanted one for my room for what seems like forever, and when I saw this for just £1 (yep £1) in a charity shop I knew I had to have it. I should have a post coming up all about how I plan to jazz it up, so keep your eyes peeled for that. 

Next up, a Ted Baker gift set. All the products where unopened and for only £3.50 I couldn't say no. This retails for £10, so it was a pretty good bargain! I adore the scent of Ted Baker products so I can see myself using these a whole lot. 

Finally, a new jumper (which I have on right now FYI) This was from the men's section, but I was drawn to the colour and also the slouchy fit on me; in short- mega warm, and a snip at £5. 

What do you think of what I found? Are you a fan of charity shopping?

Trend #10: Party at Gatsby's.

Hello dolls, I hope you're all well :)

This weeks trend post has to be one of my favourites ever; Gatsby inspired. I have gushed about that book, film and era enough times, so I will save you all that and simply ask you to look below. Look. 

Lydia Rose Bright  white lace dress /Tokyo Doll   sequin dress, / New Look cream top/ Topshop  sequin bralet /Zara mother of pearl clutch /Ted Baker evening box clutch

I can't take the timeless prettiness! The highstreet colour palette seems to be mainly cream, gold and black and I think it works so well for these pieces. The two dresses are perfect for any christmas party and just ooze glamour, the embroidery on the cream one is stunning and the black has just the right amount of sparkle going on. The top is a lovely way to wear the trend for a polished day look and is currently in the sale (only £13!) The bralet is fit for those who just want to dip their toe in the trend, rather than going full on flapper, I can imagine with would look amazing with disco pants as well. Now onto the clutches. Oh the clutches. These are both SO beautiful and are just timeless. The Ted Baker offering is so glitzy and the gold glitter is wonderfully festive. The Zara one actually has me weak at the knees, would you look at that mother of pearl with glitter detailing ? *Drools*

Trend #6 : Baby pink baby.

Hi everyone, hope your having a good Sunday :) 

This is a post that I never thought I would be writing in autumn, spring maybe, but not when I usually thinking about chunky knits and thick leggings. However there is no denying that the fashion world has gone totally crazy for this particular shade of pink , after that Zara coat hit the high street it has only gone one way, up!

I'm a huge lover of pink, so I for one am not complaining! I love the elegant Ted Baker coat, it's just a shame it's so pricey. The Topshop shorts and satchel had me at hello, so cute. The varsity jacket  rolls two trends into one and is also half price at the moment so whats not to like! I've also got baby pink on my nails at the moment so I'm feeling smugly on trend ;)
