Blackout

This weekend I headed out for coffee and a much needed catch up with my cousin. She's also my photographer and she's a gem. I had an actual car full of things I really wanted to shoot and she was as patient as a Saint!

The gorgeous Fiona at Pretty Little Thing sent me out this absolute dream of a shirt to take to NYC. Truth be told, I barely took it off. It's the easiest thing in the world to throw on a big shirt and head out looking a little 'undone' and this one is my absolute favourite! I teamed it with my Dr Martens and patent tote bag from Sarah Baily for a casual weekend look.

I was lucky enough to be sent some beautiful pieces of jewellery that I have also not really taken off...the first by Anchor & Crew, a nautical inspired jewellery brand that works with rope detailing and metals. I'm obsessed with mine and I'm quite sure I need another colour!
The second is by The Crystal Divide, beautifully hand made pieces that feature all manner of crystals. I'm wearing a silver and Jade pendant that I really am falling in love with.

I hope you're having a great start to the week.

Denim and Crops

Here I am again decked out in some key pieces from Pretty Little Thing. My take on double denim is always black and blue, I just can't get along with blue on blue...My main styling twist here is the crop top. Crop tops, to me, scream night out with the girls. So because I would never dare to go as girly as a crop top without anything else involved to help to cover me up....I decided to pop my trusty Lee denim shirt under the cut out crop top, voila! These jeans are amazing, I absolutely love the multi zip detail and seamed knee patches, an absolute staple piece for the impending A/W season. My boots are also PLT, just the right amount of chunky to toughen up my look, and super comfy too! PLT have got some amazing transitional pieces in at the moment- you should absolutely check them out.

PLT


Pretty Little Thing are pushing my culotte and minimal style obsession way beyond a healthy point...I mean look at these pieces! There's not a chance I'll be out of these culottes now, ever.  The gorgeous Fiona sent me out a package that made my week incredibly exciting, inviting me to style the contents up on here for you guys. I had to confess to her that whilst I was sat choosing the pieces that I loved, I was tucking into the biggest Haagen Daaz cookies & cream ice cream you've ever seen- my idea of a great night in! I have loved PLT since their launch that I attended some years ago now, they take trend to the next level and make it purse friendly without cutting corners with the quality, which is a very difficult task, yet one that PLT manage seamlessly. 
I'm head to toe PLT here and this will now be one of my go-to outfits, honestly. I'm not a blogger who'd stick on an outfit JUST for a shoot, I will always wear it to death, and if I ever get something that I don't think will mesh well with the way I like to style clothes, I'll send it back. I'm still all over my Saint Laurent sunnies here too, as per usual, hoping the sun stays out long enough for it to be legitimate to be seen in sunglasses.

Thank you so much for reading. Have an amazing weekend. I'll be in Ireland, with dad, on the back of his motorbike all weekend :)

Pretty Little Thing

Pretty Little Thing have done nothing but entice me with their latest collections. I wanted to post about my must have PLT items to take you into Spring/Summer. This is my absolutely perfect outfit of LIFE. 

Who doesn't need a paisley jumpsuit? This one is the perfect skinny fit. A leather cap? I've been dying to style one out for a while now so I think it's time to take the plunge and add a pinch of sports luxe to the look. Mirrored sunglasses should come as standard with any Spring outfit, and finally some gorgeous platform sliders.

 I hope you find some inspiration in it and visit Pretty Little Thing online HERE to inject some cool Spring vibes into your wardrobe too.

What are your staple items this season?

Fashion Blogger Event: Pretty Little Thing

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to one of the most luxurious Blogger events to date. The Pretty Little Thing new collection launch, held at Rosso in Manchester. Now, I'm quite sceptical when it comes to lower budget brands because I assume that with low price, comes low quality. I was, again, proven wrong on my well established "theory" because Pretty Little Thing not only produced a line that was Topshop-esque in quality (I hold Topshop in high regard surrounding quality for fast fashion) but I would have happily taken the whole rail home with me, to wear, in public. 

I wore:
 Leather skinnies with gold zips- ZARA
Cream shirt- Reiss
Boucle & leather cardigan- ASOS 
Patent black heels- Dune
I honestly cannot wait for these to come out! They are Tres Chic.

A lovely pair of Fashion Blogging Charlotte's! and my partners in blogging crime.

We were treated to a 2 course meal. Even the menu's were made up just for us! 
I blame Instagram from this old looking photo (must invest in decent camera!)
Sports Luxe new season hues. Ahhh, beautiful.

Cool neons, maybe too much all at once, but I know you guys are cool enough to pair it all off with cut off denim shorts and muted whites.
I'm a sucker for anything remotely 'boy-ish' so of course, this was going to be a favourite. 
I really loved this little playsuit. I'm dreaming of a holiday and feeling like it could be perfect, colour popping beach wear.

Charlotte Goodlass & I were lusting after this black and gold hardware rucksack, not too vintage, just enough chic.

Cutout neon? What more could you need from a summer accent!
Did I mention that myself, Charlotte and the wonderful Laura Logan from Logan's Runway were the last bloggers standing? a few sambuca's, glasses of champagne and wine later.....
Those black sunnies are mine! I love them!
At the moment you lovely lot can get 30% off the entire website if you enter "APRIL30" at the checkout so take my recommendations and go do some damage!

The Pretty Little Thing Blog is something to behold....very cool. You can check it out here

The PLT team are amazing- each and every member made us feel so very important!

We all got to choose an item from the website as a thank you, so as soon as mine arrives, I'll show you.

What do you think about the brand?
