Varca

These little leopard numbers are my absolute sandals of my dreams. The amazing team at Varca, Menorcan and Italian inspired shoe brand kindly sent them to me to style up here on my little ol' blog. Truth be told, I've been wearing them non-stop and they will be one of the first things I pack to take to Thailand in January. Leather uppers, sturdy sole and absolutely class colour ways, there isn't much more a girl could want from a Summer or transitional shoe. They have the most gorgeous collection of loafers in at the moment too, perfect for this colder weather that seems to be upon us!
Here I popped on some 'hang out Thursday' clothes as on a Thursday afternoon I spend time with one of my closest friends, Luisa of A Stylish Something fashion & lifestyle blog and her brood of the most beautiful, giddy little children (seriously though, go and check out her Instagram, @astylishsomething, they are too cute). I found my bargain bin neoprene cropped tee in Topshop for all of £5, £5! and I haven't seen it online so go hunting in store! My leather gilet and ripped up skinny jeans are both from TK Maxx, I swear I spend my life hunting in there and always find the best things.

Shop Varca HERE they even have a sale on so you can snatch up a pair in preparation for the alleged heat wave!

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you like this look.

Those pants & Hoxton

These pants are my favourite buy of the Summer so far. £14.99 is just insanely cheap for this luxurious silky wide leg pant. So much so, that this is my second outfit post with them! You must have seen these popping up on blogs all over the show, but I first saw them as worn on Hannah Crosskey, she's a total beauty! I pretty much wore these pants as often as I could get away with so when my boyfriend and I headed out to The Hoxton Hotel in Hoxton, London, I felt pretty swish! Especially as it was our anniversary (even if neither of us remembered until a few days later). I teamed these statement pants with my other favourites, my black leather gilet, sliders and a tie-knot tee, not forgetting my beautiful Olivia Burton midi dial watch.

Summer suiting

I'm taking major inspiration from suiting at the moment and trying to put a Summer spin on it. I always find tailoring to be the most flattering and it's so easy to wear. For cooler days, tailoring always looks amazing with layers of clean cut beauty thrown in! I always feel most happy and confident in tailoring because it looks polished and I think because I'm tall, it suits my figure best.

Beachy with GHD

The lovely team at GHD answered my beach hair prayers when they sent me this amazing pair on GHD Eclipse Tri-technology stylers. I didn't even think beach waves were possible with straighteners but wow....was I wrong. They are effortlessly easy to use and this look took me all of 10 minutes, max! Also, they don't pull your hair out, which I've found happens with other stylers. I popped a couple of messy plaits in the ends for good measure. I am mega impressed and happy with these babies!

Are you loving beachy hair?

Have a fab week ahead and don't forget you can still nominate my blog in the Company Style Blogger Awards HERE

Thank you so much

Gingham

Gingham heaven. Stop your search for the perfect throw on Summer essential immediately. This absolute babe of a sleeveless jacket from In Love With Fashion is all you're going to need. It's the easiest thing in the world to style - I wore it as pictured for shopping this weekend, then dressed it up a little with some leather skinnies and chunky white heels for a gig. I love the oversized length, and I'm 5'11. My sunnies are another pair from Primark - that place still amazes me - they were all of £2.

Triangl

Australian swimwear brand Triangl are the swimwear brand of your dreams. I first remember seeing an Instagram snap of their neoprene goodness around 12 months ago and up until a few months ago, I didn't know the name of the brand. Thank GOODNESS I do now, I am utterly besotted with my neoprene baby. I go away on holiday to Greece and then Thailand this year so I cannot wait to wear my new bikini to the beach.

Pool side

Sliders. Dubbed the 'ugly' shoe for SS14. Well who cares because I'm absolutely sold on these babies! These are from Topshop and at £22, how can you not? I'm beyond excited for Summer to arrive and as I write this post I'm packing for a weekend in London where the forecast says it's 17 degrees! I can't tell you how ready for a break I am. The amazing girls are Boohoo sent me these incredible slouchy luxe pants from the Boohoo Boutique collection, and I have lived in them since they arrived. My top is good old Zara, sports luxe is the aim of the game, and I'm loving this slouchy basketball-esque vest. My lips are smothered in one of the most beautiful lipsticks I've ever used, NARS 'Heat Wave' and it is absolutely perfect.

London Fashion Week SS14: my round up

I have been a little absent recently, and I am sorry! I have just started a new job with a new trust as a Physiotherapist, so my life has been pretty crazy of late.

Even though LFW SS14 seems forever ago, I still have a few gems that I wanted to share with you all before we start to look forward to viewing the AW14 collections in January.
