Summer's bright


So in my last post I mentioned all the neon jewellery that's filling the shops and fuelling my need for summer (anybody else from England will feel my pain) but it's not just the jewellery that's sporting florescent brights this season, designers seem to have gone all out, we're talking tie dye, coloured trousers, cardigans and dresses. It's pretty standard procedure and not exactly surprising that out comes the sun closely followed by the summer brights, cheering up your wardrobe with the empty promise of warmth (I'm sounding angry, but I just really need some sun!) But I do have to say, coloured trousers are a definite must have; whether we are talking the bright red or blue chinos as seen in Topshop or coloured jeans, there is just something edgy and fun about them. They're easy to wear and manage to somehow bridge the gap between casual and smart. Who knew?! Personally I can't pull of the chino look, I wish I could but it just doesn't work for me so I'm playing it safe with some coloured jeans. My favourite pair are topshop's 'pink' jeans, even though they're more burgundy than pink they're so simple and you can dress them up or down. They're great for when I'm in a rush and just want to shove on jeans and a top before running out the door but they also go amazingly with heels if I'm going out but I'm not in the mood for a dress. As much as I want to carry on writing I have a new camera so I'm off to play, but I've been busy with some fashion 'DIY' so i'll be posting it soon! Love and stuff x

Summers back and so am I


 Exams are over for me and summer is practically here, well it's here in that the florals and neon brights are all over the shops even if the weather is still miserable. So, I have brought out the summer dress, even if I am still having to wear it with tights, maybe it will coax the sun out from where ever it is hiding, it is June after all! I was out shopping yesterday and the highstreet is full of small, festival style jewellery, it's all so cute, which is perhaps why my mantra for summer bright bracelets is 'how many can you fit on your wrists before it becomes problematic.' The answer is a lot in case you were wondering. I'm just checking in today, hoping that somebody out there is still reading, but I will be posting more often, so look out for my updates on my favourite summer trends; I'm thinking vans with ruffle socks, shorts with aztec print zests and festival style jewellery. Love and stuff x
