STRIPES…BUT ADD DRAMA!

This ASOS design shows how you spice up a plain striped shirt. The EXTRA voluminous sleeve is so my style, I adore anything unique. Blue/white stripe pattern is made for the Summer months, paired with blue denim or white, the pattern is eternally chic. As the shirt is so covered it calls for a skirt or shorts. Here I paired the shirt with white tailored shorts, tan Gucci belt and white wedges. I recommend tucking or tying the shirt to add a casual vibe.

SIMPLE STYLING

You just can’t beat simple styling! Monochrome has had my heart for as long as I can remember and what better to pair with monochrome than red. These delectable ankle boots have become my ultimate staple piece this Winter. Not only is the deep hue of red the perfect shade; the velvet material, the heel height and the square toe are all elements to die for and completely en trend. White shirts are fundamental for for any wardrobe, it just goes without saying! This smooth white silk shirt, embellished with black buttons and stunning cuff design is beyond perfect for this Winter. Paired with cropped black trousers where can you go wrong? Black trousers are killing it this Winter, on every street a fashionista is rocking them. I loved this pair because of the belt; allowing the waist to be drawn in creating a hourglass silhouette. With lashings of Mac’s Russian Rouge lipstick the outfit is complete. Yet another Zara obsessed outfit…EVERY ITEM.  The look is perfect for a Winter date, just the right mix between dressy and casual.

DISNEYLAND DREAMING

Disney is “The Happiest Place on Earth” they say and I agree one hundred per cent! Standing at the bottom of Main Street with Sleeping Beauty’s Castle on view in the distance and a perfect blue sky above – all of my childhood memories come flooding back. Disney has it’s very own sights, sounds and smells and I never get tired of them. It’s no surprise then that a trip to Disneyland Paris was the perfect way to celebrate the end of A-levels. When it comes to styling and outfit for a day in the park, comfort is paramount but I didn’t want to sacrifice style for comfort entirely. Zara sale again gifted a perfect white cotton top; loosely fitted with an elasticated bardot neckline, a cute tie back and this season’s obligatory statement sleeve. I paired this with an adorable sage green, frill bottomed, double layer mini (not Minnie!) from H&M. Of course, no outfit for a day in the park would be complete without a pair of comfy trainers and a pair of sparkly Minnie Ears!

FULL-SLEEVES

If you haven’t got a blue shirt…get one! It’s the key piece to carry you through Spring into Summer, they are plastered all over the high-street. So … you’ve probably guessed by now I am addicted to Zara. With an extra long tie which can be adapted to your desired length; as you would expect from Zara the shirt has a good quality cotton mix which holds the shape well. The exaggerated Victorian puff sleeve adds a high-fashion vibe and hits the main trend this season – sleeves. The light blue colour is the perfect hue for pairing with creams, whites and classic denim pieces this Spring.
